The proceeds will be used for hedging transactions related to the underlying assets including KOSPI200 index, Samsung Electronics, and SK Hynix stocks.
These bonds are debt instruments, not equity, so there is no dilution risk for existing shareholders.
[AI Summary]Kyobo Securities' issuance report confirms completion of ELB series with actual funds raised of 6.1 billion won, far below target, indicating weak investor demand. While the funds will support hedging activities, the low subscription rate suggests limited market appetite for these structured products. No shareholder dilution occurs due to the debt nature of the issuance.
