Bongjin, who pulled out 100 billion won… ‘Baemin’ shoots stock at all employees

“○○○, this is Kim Bong-jin, the founder of Elegant Brothers.”

On the morning of the 11th, a text message came to the riders of the National Delivery. The message said, “I would like to give ○○○ the shares × × shares of the German Delivery Hero (DH) I have in April.” After the message was delivered, reactions such as “Is Bae-min (Baedal’s Nation) shareholder?” These riders appeared one after another in the KakaoTalk group chat room where more than 400 people were connected.

Chairman Kim Bong-jin, the founder of the nation’s No. 1 delivery application (app),’People of Delivery’, will pay 100 billion won in private funds to provide stocks to more than 2,100 people, including employees and riders, free of charge. As the merger and acquisition with DH ended on the 2nd, it is appearing in the stocks paid to Chairman Kim. The stock price is 105.95 euros per share (approximately 143,208 won) at the closing price on the 2nd when DH completed the acquisition and merger of elegant brothers.

The graceful brothers announced on the 11th that Chairman Kim sent a message to the recipients of the payment and informed them of this intention. In a message, Chairman Kim said, “The efforts of the riders have been a great help in being able to grow into a company like today.” I want to deliver my personal gift.”

It is known that the property of Chairman Kim is more than 1 trillion won in terms of the value of DH shares received from the sale of the people of Delivery to DH.

In February, Chairman Kim, who was officially recognized as the pledge of the world-renowned donation club’The Giving Pledge’, the 219th in the world and the first Korean to make a donation pledge, said, “I was born on a very small island in Korea and slept in the dining room used by customers in high school It is difficult to explain what I have achieved only with God’s blessing and good luck because of my family situation, which was not enough to sleep, and that I have been able to do this much because I promised to donate 10 billion won in 2017 and kept it, it was the best decision in my life so far. I think, and now I am trying to decide on a bigger return.”

Chairman Kim pays stocks to 1,700 people, including elegant brothers, elegant young people, and all employees of overseas subsidiaries (Vietnam and Japan) who joined the company until last month. After 2020, the number of employees who entered the company is worth 20 million won, and the previous ones will receive an average of 50 million won worth of stocks with differential payments depending on the length of service. The employee’s gifted shares will be received after 3 years under the terms of the contract with DH. The graceful brothers said, “There is no mandatory tenure due to stock donation, and even if you leave before 2024, which is the stock payment period, everyone will receive stocks.”

Among the riders who are not employees of the company, stocks worth at least 2 million to 5 million won per person are paid to riders whose contracts are maintained for more than one year and have more than 20 cases per day and more than 200 days per year delivered.

Shares donated to riders are due to be paid out within the next month by agreement with DH, regardless of the mandatory tenure. Among the riders who did not meet the requirements, 1,390 riders who delivered more than 400 cases per month and delivered over 6 months in the past year will receive an encouragement of 1 million won each. In addition, an encouragement amount of 1 million to 1.5 million won per person is given to about 830 people, including B Mart warehouse employees and fixed-term employees, which are dedicated delivery marts.

The graceful brothers said, “This stock donation is to dispose of the stocks held by Chairman Kim, apart from the property for social rehabilitation promised through The Giving Pledge. As soon as this is completed, we plan to reveal it soon.”
