DB Securities disclosed the issuance performance report for Series 142 and 143 Derivative-Linked Bonds DLB on July 3, 2026.
Series 142 DLB was entirely cancelled due to total subscriptions of only 20 million KRW against a planned 10 billion KRW, falling short of the minimum subscription amount.
Series 143 DLB raised only 147 million KRW or 1.47% of the 10 billion KRW target, with full allocation to subscribers; proceeds will be fully used for hedging through OTC derivatives.
This debt issuance involves no equity conversion, resulting in zero dilution for existing shareholders; DB Securities maintains a stable A+ credit rating.
[AI Summary]This periodic report confirms persistently low subscription rates for DB Securities DLB issuances, but the minimal fund size and hedging purpose limit direct impact on shareholder value. However, sustained weak demand may influence future issuance terms.
