FOODNAMOO's Largest Shareholder Changes to Kim Woo-joo, Fully Leveraged Purchase Raises Stock Volatility and Collateral Risk

FOODNAMOO's largest shareholder changed from Onhill Partners with 52.23% stake to CEO Kim Woo-joo acquiring 28.63% of the company.
CEO Kim fully financed the 22.46 billion KRW acquisition through a loan from Innoface, pledging all 10,151,661 acquired shares as collateral. The loan period is short-term from June 8, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
Onhill Partners retains 27.74% stake under lock-up, but the change has no direct financial impact on the company. However, default on the loan could lead to forced sale of pledged shares, depressing the stock price.
No treasury stock acquisition or cancellation was reported.
The 100% debt financing with short-term maturity creates significant financial uncertainty.
