2. Determination

A. In light of the fact that it is highly likely to undermine the safety of transaction and legal stability in cases where issuance of new shares is invalidated after the issuance of new shares, the grounds for invalidation should be strictly interpreted as much as possible. However, there is a violation of statutes or articles of incorporation in the issuance of new shares, and the essence of the corporation or the Company Act.
