JS Link Issues 25 Billion KRW 17th Convertible Bonds, Raises Dilution Concerns and Funds Growth
JS Link decided to issue the 17th series of unsecured private convertible bonds worth 25 billion KRW with a conversion price of 35,612 KRW, resulting in a 2.02% dilution of outstanding shares.
The funds will be allocated 5 billion KRW for facility investments including permanent magnet production and NGS equipment, and 20 billion KRW for acquiring securities in its Malaysian subsidiary JS LINK MAGNETICS MALAYSIA, supporting production capacity expansion.
The conversion price can be adjusted downward to a minimum of 24,929 KRW via refixing, and together with seven existing outstanding convertible bonds totaling 36.36 billion KRW, total potential dilution amounts to 4,647,733 shares or 13.38% of outstanding shares, creating overhang risk.
The bondholders are the largest shareholder Juseong C&A and K-Value Up No.1 Fund, with the latter having no disclosed financial information, raising transparency concerns.
[AI Summary]JS Link's 25 billion KRW CB issuance funds growth but adds 2.02% dilution, with total potential dilution of 13.38% from existing CBs. While capital allocation targets productive expansion, counterparty risk from an opaque fund and dilutive terms present significant investment risks.
