Dominus Investment and Kiwoom Securities will invest a total of 100 billion won in Park Systems, a nano metrology equipment company. They will each acquire 50 billion won of the perpetual bonds with warrants (BW) issued by Park Systems. Park Systems plans to use the funds to purchase equity in a new headquarters site and building and to expand production capacity.
According to the investment banking (IB) industry on the 21st, Dominus Investment decided to acquire 50 billion won of the 100 billion won in perpetual BWs issued by Park Systems. Kiwoom Securities will invest 50 billion won under the same terms.
Of the 100 billion won, Park Systems decided to use 40 billion won for facilities, 20 billion won for operations, and 40 billion won for acquiring other corporations' securities.
The exercise price for the warrants is 267,747 won. The exercise period begins one year after issuance. Park Systems also has a call option to buy back up to 20% of the perpetual BWs at a yield to maturity (YTM) of 0.0%.
Park Systems is a KOSDAQ-listed company that develops, manufactures, and sells atomic force microscopes. An atomic force microscope measures surface height, roughness, and material properties at the nanometer scale. It is used in fields that require precision metrology, including semiconductors, displays, secondary batteries, bio, and materials research.
The industry says Park Systems can directly benefit from the advancement of semiconductor processes. As semiconductor line widths narrow and stacking structures become more complex, the importance of nano-scale metrology equipment grows. In particular, in leading-edge processes at 7 nanometers and below and in advanced packaging such as HBM, demand inevitably increases for equipment that precisely measures surface roughness and defects. Atomic force microscopes can be used not only in front-end processes but also in back-end processes such as advanced packaging, making them equipment poised to broadly benefit from increased semiconductor capital expenditure.
A diversified customer base is also a strength for Park Systems. It counts global semiconductor manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, TSMC, Intel, and Micron as clients. Last year, on a consolidation basis, revenue was 205.6 billion won and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) were 50 billion won.
