<li>On 15 November, the Korea Exchange announced that Eoflow (294090 KS) will start trading again on 16 November.</li>
<li>The fact that KRX has allowed Eoflow to trade again will be viewed positively by many investors. Plus, the recent temporary ban on short selling should also positively impact Eoflow.</li>
<li>We believe a higher probability event is for Medtronic to complete a tender offer of Eoflow sometime in 2Q 2024 at about 26,000 won. </li>
