KIWOOM Securities Reports Issuance Results for 13 ELS Products, Raising Approximately 21.57B KRW for Hedging Purposes
KIWOOM Securities reported the issuance results of 13 ELS (Equity-Linked Securities) products subscribed from May 22 to 29, 2026, to the Financial Supervisory Service.
Among the 13 tranches, 12 were issued; the 1885th series (planned 5 billion KRW) was cancelled due to insufficient subscription (below minimum 500 million KRW), and all funds were refunded.
Total funds raised amounted to approximately 21.57 billion KRW, representing an 18.4% subscription rate compared to the initial total offering of 117.03 billion KRW.
The proceeds will be used for hedging transactions, such as derivatives trading, to ensure stable payment of principal and returns at maturity or early redemption.
All ELS are classified as high-complexity financial investment products (Grade 1, very high risk), with potential loss exceeding 20% of principal depending on underlying asset price movements (KOSPI200, Tesla, Micron, NVIDIA, etc.).
No shareholder return policies (share buyback, cancellation, dividends) are disclosed in this filing.
