Kyobo Securities submitted a prospectus on June 12, 2026 for the issuance of two equity-linked derivative bond series totaling 200 billion KRW, series 50249 and 50250.
Each series amounts to 100 billion KRW, linked to the KOSPI200 index, with a maturity of June 28, 2029, a 3-year structure.
These securities are unlisted, not protected by the Depositor Protection Act, and are unsecured and unguaranteed bonds relying on Kyobo Securities' AA- credit rating.
The proceeds will be used for hedging activities including underlying asset trading and derivatives transactions to ensure stable repayment under the bond terms.
Kyobo Securities holds an AA- rating from both Korea Ratings and NICE Investors Service, reflecting the issuer's creditworthiness.
As these bonds do not involve any equity conversion or capital adjustment, there is no dilution impact on existing shareholders.
[AI Summary]Kyobo Securities' 200 billion KRW ELB issuance is a debt-raising for hedging purposes without equity dilution, neutral to existing shareholder value. The AA- credit rating provides stability, but investors should be aware of principal loss risk and limited liquidity inherent in the product structure.
