2. Rationale
Nexon recognizes that the return of profits to shareholders is an important management issue, but even more than that, we would like to review and execute effective investments for proactive business development for future growth, such as the expansion of our existing business and development of new businesses, M&As or acquisition of game publishing rights, for the purpose of strengthening our management base and enhancing our business going forward. Therefore, Nexon's policy is to suspend dividend payouts for the near future and retain the flexibility to continue our growth investments in our global operations. As a result of careful reviews, we have decided not to pay out dividends of surplus (Interim Dividends) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 as well, based on this policy.
