Daishin Securities' 377th and 378th DLB Issuance: Low Subscription Rate Below 10%, Proceeds for Hedging, Negligible Impact on Shareholder Value
Daishin Securities disclosed the issuance results for the 377th and 378th Derivative-Linked Bonds (DLB) on June 2, 2026.

The DLBs are unlisted short-term derivative-linked bonds, with the underlying asset being the 3-month government bond yield, and maturities of 183 days and 365 days respectively.
The proceeds will be used for hedging transactions, which is a normal operation according to the product's characteristics.
The total issuance amount (approx. 1.918 billion KRW) is negligible compared to Daishin's market cap (approx. 1.5 trillion KRW), with minimal direct impact on shareholder value.
[AI Summary]Daishin's DLB issuance showed low subscription rates of about 10% of planned amounts, but as a small-scale short-term hedging fund-raising, it is a routine financial activity that does not dilute existing shareholders or cause management changes. Therefore, the impact on stock price or corporate value is neutral (negligible).
