Exercise of exchange rights on EB results in 385,200 shares exchanged, planned capital increase of 11.73M shares raises dilution concerns
Exchange rights on Series 1 perpetual EB exercised for 385,200 shares (1.02% of total issued shares) at an exchange price of 103,842 KRW, which is approximately 25.5% below the current market price of 139,300 KRW.
The exercise occurred in two tranches on May 27 and June 1, 2026, totaling 40 billion KRW. The exchanged shares are drawn from treasury stock, so no direct dilution of existing shareholders, but increased float may pressure the stock price.
Separately, a capital increase of 11,730,000 new shares (about 31% of current issued shares) is scheduled to be listed on June 8, 2026, leading to massive dilution. Total issued shares after listing will reach 49,598,298.
Remaining EB balances: Series 1 at 10 billion KRW (exchange price 103,842 KRW) and Series 2 at 85 billion KRW (exchange price 114,714 KRW), both below current market price, posing a continued overhang risk.
[AI Summary]The EB exchange exercise itself is small and has limited impact on shareholder value, but the discounted exchange price represents an opportunity cost. The upcoming capital increase of 31% will cause significant dilution, negatively affecting existing shareholders. Future exchange potential and the use of capital raise proceeds are key factors for stock price direction.
