Each tranche is linked to underlying indices such as NIKKEI225, S&P500, EuroStoxx50, or KOSPI200, with a 3-year maturity, automatic early redemption features, and maximum potential loss of entire principal.
Proceeds will be fully used for hedging transactions to ensure stable repayment under the issuance terms. NH Investment & Securities holds a AA+ credit rating from Korea Ratings as of March 25, 2026.
These securities are high-difficulty financial products not covered by depositor protection, unlisted, and may incur principal loss upon early redemption.
[AI Summary]This ELS issuance does not affect NH Investment & Securities' equity capital, and the use of proceeds for routine hedging is neutral for existing shareholders. With an AA+ credit rating, counterparty risk is low, but investors must consider the potential for total principal loss.
