2026-03-12 09:22 KST Seoul Economic reports that global proxy advisor ISS has recommended voting **against** Hanwha Life’s proposal to extend outside director terms from 2 to 3 years at the Mar. 24 AGM, warning the change would reduce board accountability to shareholders and harm shareholder interests, heightening governance‑risk concerns.
