[Featured Stock] Kumho Electric Anticipates Financial Structure Improvement Through Paid-in Capital Increase... Rises 9%

Announcement of Third-Party Allocation Paid-in Capital Increase Worth 1 Billion on the 26th
Likely to Be Used for Company Operations and Management Stabilization

Kumho Electric is showing strength. It appears to be influenced by the news of a third-party paid-in capital increase allocation.

As of 11:27 AM on the 27th, Kumho Electric is trading at 888 KRW, up 9.77% compared to the previous trading day. After reaching an early session high of 984 KRW (21.63%), it is undergoing a correction trend.

On the 26th, Kumho Electric announced plans to raise approximately 1 billion KRW in operating funds through a public disclosure. It will issue 1,383,124 new shares via a third-party allocation paid-in capital increase. The issue price is set at 723 KRW, which is a 10% discount from the reference stock price of 803 KRW. Since it is a small public offering under 1 billion KRW, the obligation to submit a securities registration statement was waived. The recipients of the issuance are Didimdol 1st Association and individual investors Kim Kwang-hoon and Oh Chang-soo.

The funds secured through the paid-in capital increase are planned to be used for company operations and management stabilization. The stock price rise seems to reflect these expectations. Established in 1935, Kumho Electric is a lighting manufacturer with consolidated third-quarter sales of 40.3 billion KRW, with most of its revenue generated from lighting. It is currently striving to recover performance amid recent changes in the lighting market and the global supply crisis.
