What Happened? Hana Micron’s Management Dispute Lawsuit

On September 15, 2025, Hana Micron became embroiled in a lawsuit regarding the cancellation of a shareholders’ meeting resolution. Originating from objections to the approval of the division plan at the July temporary shareholders’ meeting, the lawsuit is currently underway at the Daejeon District Court Cheonan Branch. However, Hana Micron has already withdrawn all procedures related to the division and announced its intention to respond legally, taking steps to resolve the situation.

Focus on Fundamentals: Unwavering Growth

The key takeaway is Hana Micron’s solid fundamentals, which remain unshaken by this event. According to the 2025 semi-annual report, Hana Micron continues its robust growth trajectory thanks to the strong performance of its semiconductor manufacturing division. The strategy of expanding its high-value-added memory and non-memory businesses has paid off, with both sales and operating profit showing significant increases. The company is also actively investing in the development of next-generation technologies, such as 3D flexible semiconductor packaging technology, to secure future growth engines.

Lawsuit: Setback or Opportunity?

In the short term, negative impacts such as legal costs and dampened investor sentiment cannot be ruled out. However, the resolution of uncertainty stemming from the withdrawal of the division plan can serve as a springboard for long-term growth. This will create an environment where the company can focus on its core business and strengthen its technological competitiveness. Furthermore, the growth of the global semiconductor market and Hana Micron’s advanced packaging technology brighten its future growth prospects.
