F&amp;F (383220), Iljin Hysolus (271940), and SD Biosensor (137310) are also meeting the inclusion screening requirements. But they do not meet the minimum listing period of 6 months, so they will not be included in the index for this rebalancing. At their current market caps, they will likely join KOSPI 200 in the June rebalancing next year.Below are the passive inflow estimates for each likely addition. Meritz Financial Group and SL Corp are expected to experience significant passive inflow at 1.91x and 1.69x compared to ADTV, respectively.

Potential Changes of KOSPI 200 Index Components in the November 2021 Rebalance

<div class="content-highlight">
<p>Our NAV valuation of LX Holdings suggests NAV of 1.0 trillion won (13,556 won per share). Our NAV valuation of the company is based on the current market values for the three listed companies including Silicon Works, LG International, and LG Hausys. For MMA, we have used a 50% of its book value at the end of 2020. We have also assumed net cash of 179 billion won which is 0.088 x net cash of LG Corp (Consolidated at End of 1Q 2021). We have also assumed a 35% holdco discount. </p>
<p>We believe there are many investors who purchased Silicon Works, LG International, and LG Hausys ahead of the actual split date and the NAV (post holdco discount) of LX Holdings could be much less than the initial market cap of LX Holdings once it starts trading.
