Experix Decides on 25.5 Billion Won CB Issuance to Expand Stake in Intellectual Discovery

Experix is set to further expand its consolidated performance and strengthen its profit base by acquiring additional shares in Intellectual Discovery (ID) through the issuance of convertible bonds (CB).

On May 7, Experix announced its decision to issue CBs worth 25.5 billion won. The funds raised will be used for the additional acquisition of shares in Intellectual Discovery, an intellectual property (IP) licensing company.

The company explained that this investment is not simply a means of raising capital, but a strategic decision to incorporate a performance-based subsidiary into its consolidated group, thereby achieving both external growth and a stable profit structure. Currently, Experix holds about a 28% stake in ID, and it plans to increase this stake to a level that satisfies consolidation requirements, thereby strengthening its control and proceeding with the consolidation process.

Intellectual Discovery is a company focused on IP licensing and monetization businesses. As of 2025, the company recorded sales of 47.8 billion won and operating profit of 11.3 billion won, achieving its highest-ever results. The company expects its performance to continue to grow even after this additional investment.

Accordingly, Experix anticipates improved consolidated performance through the addition of ID to its consolidated group. With the IP business being added as a core portfolio alongside its existing digital identity verification solutions business, the company also expects meaningful changes in its corporate value.

A company official stated, "This CB issuance is a strategic decision to secure investment resources while also incorporating a core asset capable of generating stable profits into the group. If ID is added as a consolidated subsidiary, it will serve as a key turning point not only for external growth but also for securing a stable profit base."

ID plans to use the funds secured through this investment to focus on acquiring standard essential patents (SEPs) and expanding global licensing. In particular, the company aims to increase the proportion of royalty income from patent use to further strengthen its stable cash flow base.

Experix noted that its ongoing business portfolio diversification strategy is gradually yielding results, and it expects to see continued enhancement of corporate value and stable improvement in performance, centered around new business segments.

Through this CB issuance and the expansion of its stake in ID, Experix is accelerating the internalization of its IP business and securing both external growth and a stable profit structure.
