The bonds are linked to the KOSPI200 index or common shares of Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor, with maturities ranging from 1.5 to 3 years and principal-protected structures offering maximum returns of 8.775% to 34.05%. They are not covered by the Depositor Protection Act and are unlisted, limiting liquidity.
Proceeds will be used for hedging and underlying asset trading to ensure stable repayment, with no dilution to existing shareholders. The issuer has a sound AA- credit rating, but investors should monitor the issuer's financial condition due to unsecured nature.
[AI Summary]This ELB issuance by Hanwha Investment & Securities is a routine debt funding with no capital dilution, thus neutral for shareholder value. However, the structured product's risk of principal loss and low liquidity due to non-listing warrant cautious investment decisions.
