What's going on at Hyundai Mobis (and Glovis)?Once again, the same old rumor emerged in the local market yesterday.Chung Eui-sun will sell 10% of his Glovis stake in block deals. Then, he will use the proceeds to buy Mobis shares.Why do we keep hearing this rumor?For this, we need to know the Korea FTC's intra-group transaction restrictions.If the owner family's shareholding in a chaebol affiliate exceeds the threshold, the affiliate will become subject to the intra-group transaction restrictions.A company under the intra-group transaction restrictions isn't allowed to exceed intra-group deals for more than ₩20B (or 12% of total sales).Currently, Hyundai Glovis is the problem within the Hyundai Motor Group. The intra-group deals account for 69.8% (₩9.8T) of the total revenue last year (₩14.5T).The shareholding threshold is 30% for listed companies and 20% for unlisted companies.Glovis has been able to escape the restrictions as the Chung family (Chung Mong-koo and Chung Eui-sun combined) have slightly less than 30%.

But starting next year, the threshold for listed companies will also become 20%.This is exactly why we keep hearing this rumor because Chung Eui-sun has to reduce his stake by 10%p so that the family-owned combined stake falls below 20%.
