Mirae Asset Securities Issues 39.8 Billion KRW in Samsung Electronics-Linked Derivative Bonds Capital Raising for Hedging and Investment
Mirae Asset Securities will issue the 4002nd and 4003rd equity-linked derivative bonds totaling 39.8 billion KRW through a subscription on June 22, 2026, with each series raising 19.9 billion KRW.
Each bond is linked to Samsung Electronics common stock with a 3-year maturity and auto-call features, offering a principal-protected structure with maximum annual returns of 6.80% or 7.70%, but not covered by depositor protection.
Proceeds will be used for underlying asset trading, derivatives hedging, and financial investment to ensure stable repayment under the bond terms.
The issuer Mirae Asset Securities has a credit rating of AA, but the bonds are unlisted, posing liquidity risk and potential principal loss upon early redemption.
[AI Summary]This 39.8 billion KRW ELB issuance is a routine capital market activity with no direct impact on shareholder value as funds are used solely for hedging and investment. The principal-protected structure limits downside risk to issuer creditworthiness, but the lack of listing reduces liquidity, making it suitable for long-term investors.
