[Alpha Biz= Kim Jisun] SEOUL, October 28, 2025 — Yoon Dong-han, Chairman of Kolmar Group, has gifted his entire shareholding in Kolmar BNH Co., Ltd. to his daughter, Yoon Yeo-won, who serves as the company’s Chief Executive Officer, according to a regulatory filing disclosed on Tuesday.
The filing, submitted to the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), shows that Chairman Yoon will transfer 692,418 shares — his entire stake — to CEO Yoon on November 28.
The total value of the gifted shares is estimated at ₩9.85 billion (US$7.1 million) based on current market prices.
As a result of the transaction, CEO Yoon’s ownership in Kolmar BNH will rise from 6.54% to 8.89%, an increase of 2.35 percentage points.
The gifted shares include portions that had previously been borrowed and held under her management as part of a share-lending arrangement.
Kolmar BNH’s largest shareholder remains Kolmar Holdings, which owns 44.63% of the company.
Analysts note that the intra-family share transfer will not significantly alter the company’s control structure, as the transaction primarily consolidates holdings within the founding family.
Kolmar BNH, a leading health supplements and beauty materials subsidiary under Kolmar Group, has played a key role in the group’s growth through its functional ingredient R&D and contract manufacturing capabilities.
