HANMI Semiconductor disclosed on the 10th that Chairman Gwak Dong-sin will acquire self-owned shares worth 2 billion won.
The shares acquired by Chairman Gwak this time amount to 18,868 shares, with an acquisition price of 106,000 won. The total amount is 2.08 billion won.
As a result, the total value of self-owned shares acquired by Chairman Gwak since 2023 will reach 39.3 billion won. The equity ratio will slightly increase from 33.95% to 33.97%.
This acquisition of self-owned shares is interpreted as a measure taken in response to observations that Hanwha Semiconductor (formerly Hanwha Precision Machinery) will receive large orders as an alternative supplier of 'TC Bonder,' causing stock prices to decline. TC Bonder is a core equipment for manufacturing high-bandwidth memory (HBM).
HANMI Semiconductor is the number one company in the global market share for the TC Bonder sector for HBM production, supplying products to SK hynix, Micron, and others. It is reported that over 90% of the HBM3E 12-layer products applied by NVIDIA and Broadcom are produced using HANMI Semiconductor's equipment.
