Daishin Securities issues 10 billion KRW of its 1111th equity-linked bond ELB linked to Korea Electric Power Corp KEPCO common stock, exclusively for retirement pension funds. The bond has a 546-day maturity, is unlisted, and the subscription period is only June 26, 2026.
At maturity, if KEPCO's stock price doubles from the initial reference price, investors receive an annual return of 4.001%; otherwise, 4.000%. Historical simulation shows only a 3.36% probability of the doubling scenario, making the effective yield essentially fixed at around 4% per annum.
The issuer Daishin Securities holds a credit rating of AA- indicating stable creditworthiness. However, this product is not protected by the depositor protection act and is not listed on an exchange, resulting in limited liquidity. Early redemption is possible but subject to tiered interest rates and potential costs.
Proceeds from the issuance will be used entirely for hedging transactions and investments in financial instruments. No shareholder return activities are involved. The issuer's financial soundness is supported by its AA- rating and robust capital base.

The KEPCO-linked low-risk structure offers a de facto fixed 4% annual return but lacks deposit protection, has no exchange listing, and early redemption incurs fees. The AA- rated issuer is stable but the issuance does not directly affect shareholder value.
