EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The MSCI immediately included 4.31% owned by Netmarble in Kakao Games' float by applying one of the exception rules in Sections 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 of the MSCI GIMI Methodology Book.
The exception rule used here must have been this one: Re-estimating free float figures resulting from the reclassification of shareholders from strategic to non-strategic.
I can't find a reason why this practice of the MSCI shouldn't be equally applied to Alipay's Kakao Pay stake.
