Event-Driven

<ul>
<li>LG Energy's virtually locked-up shares rise to nearly 95%. This should at least partially explain why its price has substantially outperformed the KOSPI in recent months, showing strong downward rigidity.</li>
<li>Additional long-term money equivalent to 2-3% of SO can come in for 5% float shares. There is no precedent for a float crunch of this magnitude among top-cap local stocks.</li>
<li>It seems necessary to reconsider taking a shorting position for LG Energy even after the 9th of next month when the short-term passives inflow situation is completed.</li>
