According to the exchange on August 10, the program targets 50 listed companies whose governance ratings are B+ or below and meet market soundness criteria. If applications exceed 50, priority will be given to companies planning to submit a disclosure of their corporate value enhancement plans.

The scope of consulting involves diagnosing the current governance structure of each company and providing recommendations for improvement, thereby offering advice aimed at upgrading overall governance standards. After selecting the companies to participate, the process will proceed in the following order: submission of required materials and preliminary assessment, company interviews and presentation of improvement indicators, and support for public disclosure participation.

The Korea Exchange stated, "By scaling up support, we expect to assist more listed companies in establishing sound corporate governance and developing plans for enhancing corporate value," adding, "By raising executives' awareness of governance improvements, we aim to build long-term corporate trust and contribute to realizing the Korea premium in the capital market."
