36 Companies Including SK Bioscience to Lift Mandatory Stock Holding Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] 2,826.6 million shares of 36 listed companies will be released from lock-up next month. Lock-up registration is a system in which the shares owned by major shareholders and underwriters are electronically registered with the Korea Securities Depository to prevent them from being sold for a certain period.

According to the Korea Securities Depository on the 31st, 128.19 million shares of 4 companies in the KOSPI market and 154.47 million shares of 32 companies in the KOSDAQ market will be released from lock-up.

The company with the largest number of shares released from lock-up was Y2Solution with 59 million shares, followed by SK Bioscience (52.35 million shares) and JC's Medical (34.25 million shares).

The highest ratio of shares released compared to the number of issued shares was SK Bioscience (68.4%), followed by P&K Skin Clinical Research Center (62.2%) and JC's Medical (48.5%).

The number of shares to be released from lock-up registration in September increased by 18% compared to the previous month (239.61 million shares) and decreased by 13.8% compared to the same period last year (327.83 million shares).

The main reasons for the release of lock-up registration are third-party allotment paid-in capital increase (listing) in the KOSPI market and subscription (transfer restriction) in the KOSDAQ market.
