<li>With just the SK Networks stake, both of these conditions are already satisfied. So, the key point will be how quickly the spread of the cash offer narrows next Monday.</li>
<li>We need to watch whether the spread for the exchange offer opens. As SK Networks is a K200 constituent, it's subject to short selling, making a Long Short play possible.</li>
<li>Worth noting, among the 24% minority shareholders, NPS and KIT hold a combined 15%, potentially leading to limited market circulation volume. This is something we should also be mindful of.</li>
