M&A For Korea Zinc: Seoul Central District Court Makes Important Rulings

By Douglas Kim

  • On 7 March, the Seoul Central District Court ruled that it is reasonable for Korea Zinc to maintain the concentrated voting system, which should favor Chairman Choi and his allies.
  • On the other hand, the court also ruled that Korea Zinc was wrong to restrict Young Poong’s voting rights which should be favorable to MBK/Young Poong alliance. 
  • The fact that the court has allowed concentrated voting system would mean the M&A of Korea Zinc will continue.
