[Special Stock] AhnLab Continues Strong for Two Days Amid Rumors of Ahn Cheol-soo, Transition Committee Chairman, Running in Bundang-gap

Ahn Cheol-soo, Chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, is delivering opening remarks at the aerospace industry field meeting held on the 1st at Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) in Sacheon, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Myunghwan] AhnLab has been on the rise since the beginning of trading on the 3rd. This is interpreted as being influenced by the possibility of Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee and the largest shareholder of the company, running for the National Assembly by-election.

As of 9:20 a.m. on the day, AhnLab is trading at 117,200 KRW, up 4.64% (5,200 KRW) from the previous trading day. On the previous day, when the possibility of Chairman Ahn's candidacy was first raised, AhnLab closed at 112,000 KRW, up 7.69%.

On the previous day, a person related to President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's side said about Chairman Ahn's possibility of running in Bundang-gap, "It would be good if he runs together with Kim Eun-hye, the Gyeonggi Province governor candidate, and helps elect many basic local government heads." News that President-elect Yoon and Chairman Ahn discussed local elections on the 1st has also strengthened the speculation about his candidacy.

However, Chairman Ahn is currently refraining from commenting on running in Bundang-gap, stating that he will focus on the transition committee's work for now.

Chairman Ahn is the founder of AhnLab and holds 18.6% of its shares, making him the largest shareholder.
