Hanmi Semiconductor, 50 Billion KRW Treasury Stock Acquisition Trust Agreement

Korea Advanced Semiconductor CEO and Vice Chairman Kwak Dong-shin announced on the 23rd that he has signed a trust contract for the acquisition of treasury shares worth 50 billion KRW.

The contract period is until October 23, and the contracting institution is Samsung Securities.

The trust contract for acquiring treasury shares appears to be a decision based on confidence in Korea Advanced Semiconductor's future value, along with enhancing shareholder value and the growth of the artificial intelligence semiconductor market.

Korea Advanced Semiconductor's TC Bonder, which holds the world's number one market share, trades with 12 client companies and can produce 264 TC Bonders annually (22 units per month).
