Eugene Investment & Securities Files Prospectus for 2 Billion KRW ELS (Series 587) Linked to KOSPI200 and Samsung Electronics – Non-Principal Protected High-Risk Product
Eugene Investment & Securities announced the issuance of its 587th series of derivative-linked securities (ELS) worth 2 billion KRW on May 27, 2026. This is a routine business activity with no direct impact on existing shareholders' value.
The ELS is linked to the KOSPI200 index and Samsung Electronics common stock, with a 3-year maturity and non-principal protection. It is classified as a high-difficulty financial product with a maximum loss of up to 100% of principal. Investors should be aware of the potential total loss of invested capital.
Auto-call conditions: starting from 6 months, if all underlying assets close at or above 85% of the initial strike price, the product is redeemed at an annual return of 18%. Subsequent evaluations have lower barriers (80%, 75%, etc.). At maturity, if both assets are at or above 55% of the strike, the annual return is 18%; otherwise, if any asset has ever fallen below 35%, principal loss occurs.
Proceeds from the issuance will be used for hedging transactions in underlying assets and derivatives, as well as investment in financial products, consistent with standard practices for ELS issuers.
