The exchange stated that, following a preliminary review regarding the relisting of Hanwha Machinery & Services Holdings, the company has satisfied the listing requirements under the KOSPI Market Listing Regulations.

Previously, in January, Hanwha convened a board meeting and resolved to establish Hanwha Machinery & Services Holdings, which will oversee its tech affiliates-such as Hanwha Vision, Hanwha Momentum, Hanwha Semitec, and Hanwha Robotics-as well as its lifestyle affiliates, including Hanwha Galleria, Hanwha Hotels & Resorts, and Ourhome. The spin-off is scheduled to be completed in July, following the necessary procedures, including an extraordinary shareholders' meeting in June.
