Hanwha Investment & Securities Issues DLB Worth 20B KRW, but Only 4.81B KRW Raised Due to Low Subscription; Funds for Hedging
Hanwha Investment & Securities issued 'Hanwha Smart DLB No. 546' derivative-linked bond on May 29, 2026. Out of the planned 20 billion KRW, actual subscriptions amounted to only 4.813 billion KRW (24.07%), resulting in an undersubscription.
This DLB is a short-term product maturing on August 31, 2026 (94 days), with the 3-month Korean Treasury bond rate as the underlying asset, offering a low-risk structure with an annual return of approximately 3.09%–3.10%.
The raised funds will be used for hedging purposes, investing in underlying assets and related derivatives to manage early and maturity redemption risks.
The bonds are unlisted, and issuance could have been canceled if total subscriptions fell below 1 billion KRW, but the minimum threshold was met.
