Skonec Entertainment (CEO Park Wonchul) announced on September 24 that it will issue convertible bonds (CB) as a means of raising funds for large-scale new business initiatives and restructuring, in order to secure future growth engines and diversify its business portfolio.


The company explained that Wise Properties, an affiliate and the largest shareholder of Skonec, is participating in this issuance, reaffirming the commitment of major shareholders to responsible management and the company's growth ambitions.


A Skonec representative stated, "This convertible bond issuance is noteworthy not simply as a means of raising funds, but because the major shareholder is directly participating, thereby strengthening responsible management. The fact that the major shareholder is aligning interests with the company and making a substantial capital injection increases confidence in Skonec's mid- to long-term growth potential."


From an investor's perspective, the participation of internal equity stakeholders, rather than merely external borrowing, is seen as a factor that enables stable capital management and the execution of feasible business plans.


Market experts commented, "Skonec's simultaneous restructuring and acquisition of promising new businesses presents investors with an attractive growth story. By moving away from the volatility of VR and entertainment-centered businesses, Skonec is now positioned for stable growth based on businesses with proven performance."



A Skonec representative added, "This CB issuance is not simply about raising funds; it is a strategic move to secure future growth engines in earnest together with the major shareholder. With this large-scale new business initiative and restructuring, Skonec will pursue a two-track growth strategy in VR·entertainment and new energy businesses, focusing on expanding into global markets and maximizing corporate value."
