Summary

WEBTOON held its 2026 annual meeting with strong shareholder participation, achieving a 95.2% turnout of voting shares. All three Class II director nominees were elected to serve three-year terms through 2029. While Isabelle Winkles received near-unanimous support at 99.8%, Namsun Kim and Jun Masuda saw lower approval rates of 90.4% and 89.4% respectively, reflecting some shareholder withhold votes.

These results, while comfortably passing, suggest a subset of shareholders had reservations about these two nominees. Shareholders overwhelmingly approved the company's executive compensation practices on an advisory basis with 99.96% support, and ratified Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as the independent auditor with 99.99% approval. These routine governance matters passed with minimal opposition. For retail investors, this filing confirms continuity in board composition and external audit relationships, with no material governance concerns arising from the annual meeting.
