1. What happened?

Samsung Securities exercised its warrants to acquire 63,000 shares of MDI Co. Ltd. at 8,350 won per share. This will provide MDI Co. Ltd. with approximately 520 million won in funding.

2. Why is it important?

This funding will be used for investment in MDI Co. Ltd.’s new AVP (Advanced Package) project. While AVP is considered a future growth engine for MDI Co. Ltd., the technical challenges and intensified competition pose risks. Additionally, the issuance of new shares can lead to stock dilution.

3. So, what happens next?

  • Short-term impact: The influx of funds can accelerate the AVP project and contribute to a decrease in the debt-to-equity ratio, but there’s also a possibility of stock dilution.
  • Long-term impact: The success of the AVP project will determine the long-term growth trajectory of MDI Co. Ltd. Securing profitability in the new business is crucial for maintaining financial stability.

4. What should investors do?

Investors should consider various factors, including the progress of the AVP project, market competition, and external environmental factors (exchange rates, interest rates, raw material prices, Chinese economy), when making investment decisions. It’s important to invest from a long-term perspective rather than being swayed by short-term stock price fluctuations.
