[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] LTC announced on the 12th that SK General Chemical sold its entire 9.17% stake through off-hours trading.

An LTC official explained, "The sale of SK General Chemical's stake in LTC was a strategic choice due to internal circumstances," and added, "The cooperative relationship with SK remains valid."
