EXPLANATORY NOTE: Postponement of ADS Record Date
Woori Financial Group Inc. (Woori Financial Group) hereby furnishes this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K/A (this Amended Report) solely for the purposes of amending the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K previously furnished by Woori Financial Group to
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 6, 2024 under the title Notice of Record Date for the Shareholders Entitled to the Distribution of year-end Dividends
(the Original Report).
This Amended Report amends the Original Report as follows:

Amended Report |
February 29, 2024 will be the record date for the determination of the shareholders who are entitled to the distribution of Woori Financial Group Inc. (Woori Financial Group)s
year-end dividends for FY2023. Additionally, in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and the Deposit Agreement for Woori Financial Groups American Depositary Shares
(ADSs), February 29, 2024 will also be the record date for the holders of Woori Financial Groups ADSs. |
|
February 29, 2024 will be the record date for the determination of the shareholders who are entitled to the distribution of Woori Financial Group Inc. (Woori Financial Group)s
year-end dividends for FY2023. The record date for the holders of Woori Financial Groups American Depositary Shares has not been determined yet and will be separately announced after the dividend
amount has been approved at Woori Financial Groups annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2024. |
For the avoidance of doubt, all details relating to the record date included in (i) the table titled
Key Details following the first paragraph of the Original Report and (ii) the section titled Resolution Relating to Woori Financial Groups Dividend Payments in Woori Financial Groups Report of Foreign Private
Issuer on Form 6-K previously furnished to the SEC on February 6, 2024 shall only apply to Woori Financial Groups shares of common stock, and not American Depositary Shares (ADSs).
The above amendment is being made at the recommendation of Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) as the depositary, to minimize any potential
market disruptions that may ensue should there be any changes to the details regarding the dividend that had previously been announced following the annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2024. Citibank will also post a notice announcing
that the record date is being postponed on its Depositary Receipt Services website.
Pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Second Amended
and Restated Deposit Agreement dated January 11, 2019, Woori Financial Groups books for the issuance and cancellation of its ADSs will be closed upon close of business on February 29, 2024 and remain closed until the new record date
for the ADSs.
