SK On a subsidiary of SK Innovation decided to extend the loan period for two existing loans to SK Battery America Inc. by one year to June 30 2027
The total loan amount is 2.349 trillion KRW equivalent to 13.67% of SK On's equity with an annual interest rate of 4.60%
The loan will be used for acquiring securities of SK On Tennessee LLC and operating funds linked to US battery production facility investment
The borrower SK Battery America recorded a net loss of 803 billion KRW indicating continued financial strain but not capital impairment

Whether the capacity expansion through securities acquisition translates to profitability improvement is the key determinant for shareholder value
