Nexon Founder Family Hands Over 4.7 Trillion Won Worth of NXC to Korean Government

By Douglas Kim

  • The late Nexon founder Kim Jung-Ju’s family recently paid nearly 4.7 trillion won worth of inheritance taxes to the Korean government by handing over 29.3% stake (paid-in-kind) in NXC Corp.
  • We view this handing over the 29.3% stake to the Korean government to be positive overall on Nexon in the near term.
  • However, we do not expect this could bring about change in controlling ownership of the Nexon Group in the near term to result in re-rating of the Nexon Group shares.
