Good morning, SK Hynix. Welcome to the NASDAQ family. Congratulations to all of you.

Bob McCooley

My name is Bob McCooley. I'm the Vice Chairman here at NASDAQ and I'm honored to serve also as NASDAQ's Chairman of Asia Pacific. Today's an exciting day as we welcome SK Hynix, who is listing on NASDAQ under, I think the very appropriate ticker symbol, SKHY. On behalf of Adina Friedman, our CEO and all my 11,000 colleagues around the globe, it is my great pleasure to welcome SK Hynix CEO, Kwak Noh Jung.

The SK Hynix leadership team, employees, partners, advisors and all of our distinguished guests here to the NASDAQ Market site for this very special occasion. Today marks an important milestone in SK Hynix's journey as the company celebrates its US public listing here on NASDAQ. As one of the world's leading semiconductor companies, SK Hynix plays a critical role in advancing the technologies that power today's digital economy, from AI to cloud computing to next generation data centers and mobile innovation.

This listing is not just an important milestone for SK Hynix, but also a significant moment for the Korean and broader Asian capital markets. We are so proud to welcome one of Korea's most innovative and globally recognized companies to the NASDAQ community, now being listed alongside the world's leading technology pioneers. I think that deserves another round of applause.

We know that this achievement reflects years of innovation, execution and commitment by the entire SK team. Thank you for bringing so many teammates to be with you for the celebration today. We are honored that you have chosen NASDAQ as your home for this next chapter. At NASDAQ, we view today's listing as more than just a transaction. It is the beginning of a long term partnership.

We are committed to supporting SK Hynix through its public company journey, helping ensure visibility, strengthen investor engagement and connect with the capital markets around the globe. To the employees of SK Hynix joining us here and those who are watching from around the globe, this is your achievement. Today is an opportunity to celebrate your vision, your hard work and your dedication that made this moment possible.

Congratulations once again to the SK Hynix team. We look forward to celebrating many, many more milestones with you together. And now, please join me in welcoming Kwak Noh Jung to the podium for some further remarks.

Kwak Noh Jung

Good morning everyone. Thank you all for joining us today. Today is a very happy day. Today is a very proud day, and today is a truly historic day for SK Hynix. Let me share our story.

Just 25 years ago, our company faced one of the most difficult moments in its history. The Asian financial crisis brought severe downturn. SK Hynix was on the brink of bankruptcy. But we endured, we found our way through it, and we emerged stronger. This is where our resilience and determination was born, and it made us who we are today.

Then eleven years later, in 2012, we began a new chapter with SK Group, a partner who shared our belief in the future and together we set out to build it. At that time, the future of memory was far from certain. But we saw the need for new technology called HBM High Bandwidth Memory. We chose to invest in it, we chose to develop it and we were the first in the world to make it real.

And we never stopped innovating. Today HBM stands at the heart of the AI revolution. Through our leadership across HBM, DRAM and NAND flash, we are providing the essential technologies that power the global AI infrastructure.

So why are we here today? Why NASDAQ? Let me show what this milestone means to us. First, it brings us closer to the ecosystem shaping the next era of computing. The United States is the epicenter of AI. The customers leading AI innovation are here. The partners building the ecosystem are here, and the talent driving the industry is here. This listing strengthens our connection to all of them.

By being closer, we can move faster, finding new opportunities and building deeper partnerships. Second, it opens a new door to investors around the world. For many global investors, investing in SK Hynix has not always been simple. Our NASDAQ listing makes that access easier and we are pleased to welcome a broad community of global investors to join our journey.

We are here not just to pursue opportunity but also to contribute. We understand that opportunity comes with responsibility, responsibility to support innovation, strengthen the industry and contribute to the ecosystem. We are building world-class capabilities, creating opportunities for people and investing in the businesses and technologies shaping the future of AI. And we will live up to that responsibility through what we invest, what we build and what we deliver.

So we are here to build the future with you. Because AI will be everywhere and wherever AI goes, SK Hynix will be there. Before I close, let me leave you with the three principles that will guide us. First is trust. To our investors and customers, thank you for believing in us. We will honor that trust through our actions.

Second is innovation. To our customers and partners across the AI ecosystem, we will keep pushing the boundaries of what memory can make possible. Last is growth. To our 48,000 team members around the world, thank you for bringing us this far. Your growth has always been the foundation of our growth. We will do everything we can to empower you to achieve even greater things.

SK Hynix is a global AI technology leader. But leadership is not a title. It is something we must earn every single day. To our investors, customers, partners and team members, thank you. Thank you for being part of this moment. The next chapter begins today, and we invite all of you to write it together. Thank you.
