 Nevertheless, many local institutions must have felt burdened with LG Energy's valuation, so they wanted to avoid setting the offering price above the upper end.

As for the relatively poor lockup result, the issuer's refusal to incentivize lockup to set the float rate to around 10% may also have played a part.

<li>If AfreecaTV and Douzon Bizon are swapped, they will experience an impact of +2.0x ADTV and -5.0x ADTV. So they will shine the most if the swap takes place.</li>
