Pan Ocean Considering on a Rights Offering Capital Raise of Nearly 3 Trillion Won for the HMM Deal
- A consortium led by the Harim Group and JKL Partners has been chosen as the preferred bidder to acquire a 57.9% stake in HMM.
- Korea Development Bank (KDB) and the Korea Ocean Business Corporation (KOBC) are the main creditors of HMM, which is the largest shipping company in Korea.
- Pan Ocean is expected to complete a rights offering of nearly 3 trillion won which is 136% of its current market cap. This is excessive and negative for Pan Ocean.
Asagami Corporation – Example of Widespread Undervaluation of Land on Japanese Balance Sheets
- Asagami Corporation (TYO 9311) owns 3 warehouses on Tokyo Harbor with land carried on its books at ¥7.9 billion.
- These properties alone are likely worth closer to ¥29.5 billion.
- These assets account for less than half of the company’s land assets, but are worth multiples of the current market cap of just ¥7.16B.
