Hanwha Investment & Securities Reports Issuance of 3 ELB Series - Series 1088 Cancelled Due to Insufficient Demand
Hanwha Investment & Securities reported the issuance results of three Equity-Linked Bond (ELB) series (1087, 1088, 1089) on June 1, 2026.
Total funds raised amounted to approximately KRW 2.09 billion (Series 1087: KRW 1.91 billion; Series 1089: KRW 179 million). Series 1088 (planned KRW 995 million) was cancelled due to insufficient subscriptions.
The proceeds will be used for hedging purposes (risk management of principal and coupon payments) by investing in underlying assets or related derivatives, not for general corporate funding.
Series 1087 (underlying: KOSPI200) and Series 1089 (underlying: NAVER) are principal-protected structures (low risk) with conditions to pay at least the face value at maturity or upon early redemption.
This issuance is part of the company's normal business operations and has no direct impact on existing shareholders' value; it is a routine disclosure.
[AI Summary]Hanwha Investment & Securities issued three ELB series but Series 1088 was cancelled due to weak demand, resulting in total proceeds of only KRW 2.09 billion. Since the funds are used for hedging activities, the impact on shareholder value is neutral. However, the poor subscription for one series may signal subdued market demand.
