KIWOOM Securities Issues 29.87B KRW in Principal-Guaranteed ELBs (3 Series) for Funding and Hedging – Limited Impact on Shareholder Value
KIWOOM Securities will issue a total of 29.87B KRW in equity-linked bonds (ELB, principal-guaranteed) across three series (1206-1208) with subscription on June 8, 2026.
Each series amounts to 9.95B KRW for 1206 and 1207, and 9.97B KRW for 1208, all linked to the KOSPI200 index.
The ELBs are principal-guaranteed at maturity or early redemption (Grade 5, low risk); Series 1208 additionally offers monthly coupons (8.31% p.a.).
Proceeds will be used for hedging (underlying asset trading, derivatives) and financial investments to ensure stable repayment.
The bonds are unlisted; the issuer's credit rating is AA (March 2026) but not covered by depositor protection.
Early redemption may incur principal loss, and there is a conflict of interest as KIWOOM acts as calculation agent.
The total issuance of 29.87B KRW is only 0.29% of KIWOOM's market cap (~10.25T KRW), with no dilution or dividend impact.
