Hanmi Semiconductor Signs Trust Contract for Treasury Stock Acquisition Worth 240 Billion KRW Over the Past 3 Years

Hanmi Semiconductor announced on the 24th that it has signed a trust contract for the acquisition of treasury stocks worth 40 billion KRW. The contract period is until March 24 next year, and the contracting institution is Hyundai Motor Securities. Hanmi Semiconductor has signed treasury stock acquisition trust contracts totaling 240 billion KRW over the past three years, with 50 billion KRW in 2022, 30 billion KRW in 2023, and 160 billion KRW in 2024.

The management decided to acquire treasury stocks based on confidence in Hanmi Semiconductor's future value along with the growth of the semiconductor market and artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to enhance shareholder value. Over the past three years, they have continuously practiced enhancing shareholder value by canceling 1,926,120 shares of treasury stock (approximately 40 billion KRW based on book value).

Hanmi Semiconductor's TC Bonder, which holds the world's number one market share, has been actively delivering since the third quarter of this year. They are preparing to launch new products next year, including the next-generation AI package core equipment ‘2.5D BIG DIE TC BONDER’ and ‘MILD HYBRID BONDER’.

Hanmi Semiconductor, which started operating its sixth factory in April this year, currently has the capacity to produce 264 TC Bonders annually (22 units per month). In 2025, with the addition of core parts processing production facilities worth 20 billion KRW, it is expected to achieve the world's largest TC Bonder production capacity of 420 units annually (35 units per month), significantly shortening delivery times.

Since establishing its Intellectual Property Department in 2002, Hanmi Semiconductor has focused on protecting and strengthening intellectual property rights through a team of about ten experts, filing over 120 patents related to HBM equipment, including a total of 111 patents to date. Based on this, it is expected to secure a competitive edge with outstanding technology and durability, further enhancing equipment competitiveness.
