HYBE Offering: Over-Subscription Allocation, Non-Float Change, & Trading Schedule

<p>The KRX defines the free float of a stock as the proportion of outstanding shares that is deemed available for purchase in the stock market.</p><p><strong>The KRX includes the following types of shares in free float for all its indices:</strong></p><ul>
<li>Stakes held by the major shareholder and the special affiliated persons</li>
<li>Stakes held by the government agencies, excluding the Korea NPS</li>
<li>Treasury shares</li>
<li>Stakes hed by the ESOP</li>
<li>Stakes under a lock-up agreement by court order</li>
</ul><p>A free float change cycle is every 6 months. That is, the KRX reflects free float changes in the bi-annual rebalancing.</p><p><strong>But if a change is less than ±5%pt, there will be no change. The KRX will continue to apply the previous free float rates.</strong></p><div class="content-highlight"><p><em>The KRX may reflect a free-float change before a bi-annual rebalancing if a change is substantially large. The KRX considers the following factors: company size, rebalancing size and subsequent market impact, and index tracking convenience.</em></p></div><hr><h2>Likely names with a ±5%pt free float change</h2><p>This rebalancing will likely feature a total of 9 constituents having a ±5%pt free float change: 6 names with a 5%pt or greater change and 3 names with a -5%pt or harsher change.</p><p>Doosan Fuel Cell tops the list with +18.74%pt, followed by CS Wind with +15.56%pt and HYBE with +14.66%pt. On the other hand, DL Holdings will likely lose -30.69%pt in its free-float rate. SK Discovery and Korean Air are also expected to suffer a reduction, -9.50%pt and -8.50%pt, respectively.</p><table class="table table-striped">

The KRX defines the free float of a stock as the proportion of outstanding shares that is deemed available for purchase in the stock market.The KRX includes the following types of shares in free float for all its indices:
Stakes held by the major shareholder and the special affiliated persons
Stakes held by the government agencies, excluding the Korea NPS
Treasury shares
Stakes hed by the ESOP
Stakes under a lock-up agreement by court order
A free float change cycle is every 6 months. That is, the KRX reflects free float changes in the bi-annual rebalancing.But if a change is less than ±5%pt, there will be no change. The KRX will continue to apply the previous free float rates.The KRX may reflect a free-float change before a bi-annual rebalancing if a change is substantially large. The KRX considers the following factors: company size, rebalancing size and subsequent market impact, and index tracking convenience.Likely names with a ±5%pt free float changeThis rebalancing will likely feature a total of 9 constituents having a ±5%pt free float change: 6 names with a 5%pt or greater change and 3 names with a -5%pt or harsher change.Doosan Fuel Cell tops the list with +18.74%pt, followed by CS Wind with +15.56%pt and HYBE with +14.66%pt. On the other hand, DL Holdings will likely lose -30.69%pt in its free-float rate. SK Discovery and Korean Air are also expected to suffer a reduction, -9.50%pt and -8.50%pt, respectively.

Korea had been one of the few countries that allowed short sellers to participate in a rights offering.Even if you shorted the shares of a company after it had announced a rights offer, you could still subscribe to new rights and repay the shorted shares with new rights.Now, starting April 6, this practice is no longer allowed.There had been several attempts to close this loophole in the past. But none of these attempts hadn't even passed the parliament's preliminary session.Finally, this time, obviously to sweeten the public-angering short-selling resumption on May 3, the latest attempt by the Korea FSC got the lawmakers' approval.
Here is the link to the Capital Market and Financial Investment Business Act Enforcement Decree, containing the closing of this practice.
