SK Enmove offered an interest rate based on the average interest rate of individual private bond evaluation companies (market average rate) of minus (-) 30 to plus (+) 30 basis points (1 basis point = 0.01 percentage point). The 3-year bond was set at -20 basis points, the 5-year bond at -19 basis points, and the 10-year bond at -50 basis points.

The bond issuance date is March 4. SK Enmove is considering a maximum increase of 300 billion won.

SK Enmove was established in 2009 when SK Energy's lubricant business sector was physically divided. It produces some lubricant products focused on base oil, the main raw material for lubricants. In November last year, it selected Mirae Asset Securities and Korea Investment & Securities as the lead underwriters for its initial public offering (IPO).
