A Walkthrough of Hyundai Department Store Demerger Event
- This is an equity spinoff where the existing shareholders receive shares in the spun-off company. But this creates two LISTED companies. In such a case, there won’t be appraisal rights.
- PASSIVE’s selling flow towards the trade suspension tends to be offset by ACTIVE’s buying flow aiming for value accretion. So, developing a timely entry/exit between these opposing flows is critical.
- Holdco’s 30% rule dynamic generally, in relative terms, leads to an increase in the value of Opco’s stake and a decline in the value of Holdco’s stake.
Last Week in Event SPACE: NTT, Frasers Hospitality, Genting/Macau, United Tractor, Arb Shockers
- NTT (9432 JP) results were better than Softbank Corp’s and KDDI’s. The good “drift trade” may still be to be long NTT vs a basket of KDDI and Softbank Corp.
- The Frasers Hospitality (FHT SP) Scheme failed. The non-vocal minority simply didn’t show up. Maybe apathy. Maybe a holiday season. Maybe lack of premium paid encouraged people to not vote.
- In a surprise move, Genting Bhd (GENT MK)– or Genting Malaysia (GENM MK) – has joined the six incumbents in bidding for new casino licences in Macau.

Hyundai Department Store & Hyundai Greenfood To Conduct Equity Spin-Offs to Create Holdcos & Opcos
- On 16 September, Hyundai Dept Store and Hyundai Greenfood announced that they will complete equity spin-offs to create holding companies structures.
- It appears that the real reason these companies are trying to set up these structures maybe to raise the control by the major shareholders including Ji-Seon Chung and Kyo-Seon Chung.
- The spin-off ratio between the two companies is 23.24% for Hyundai Department Store Holdings and 76.76% for Hyundai Department Store.
