Kiwoom Securities Issues 250 Billion Won Principal-Protected DLBs No Share Dilution for Hedging Purposes
Kiwoom Securities raises 250 billion won through the 266th and 267th series of derivative-linked bonds on June 11, 2026. These principal-protected DLBs are linked to the 3-month Korean treasury bond rate and backed by the issuer's AA credit rating.
The proceeds will be used for hedging transactions including underlying asset trading and derivatives, as well as financial investment. This is a debt financing that does not dilute existing shareholder value, resulting in no change to equity capital.
The bonds are non-listed, and early redemption may incur principal loss. Kiwoom Securities states that early redemption will be at least 95% of fair value but losses are possible depending on market conditions.
