The Korea Securities Depository noted on the 30th that the mandatory holding registration for 2,227,300 shares of 45 companies, including CJ CGV and d'Alba Global, will be lifted next month.
Mandatory holding registration means electronically registering shares owned by major shareholders and others to restrict disposal for a certain period to protect general investors.
In the securities market in June, the mandatory holding registration will be lifted for a total of 45,448,670 shares at two companies, including CJ CGV (43,147,043 shares) and d'Alba Global (2,293,824 shares).
In the KOSDAQ market, a total of 17,729,000 shares are expected to be released from mandatory holding registration at 43 companies, including LS Marine Solution (2,768,549 shares) and OptiCore (9,630,000 shares).
The companies with the highest ratio of released shares to issued shares were VECT (64.31%), HVM (47.74%), and SHIN STEEL (46.87%).
The top three companies with the highest number of released shares from mandatory holding registration were CJ CGV (43,140,000 shares), WONTECH (38,290,000 shares), and SHIN STEEL (19,430,000 shares). Among the reasons for mandatory holding registration, 'recruitment' (prohibition of resale) accounted for the largest portion.
