  2. Restrictive conditions of “having been listed for more than 1 year” and “after one year since the date of occurrence of the above-mentioned facts” in Subparagraph (1) of Article 2 of “Code of Conduct for Shareholding Increase by Listed Companies’ Shareholders and Their Concerted Actors” shall not be applicable to the following situation: a listed company’s shareholders and their concerted actors holding 30% or more of its shares increase holding of not more than 2% of its issued shares every 12 months.
