Flow Dynamics from NPS Exercising Appraisal Rights on Doosan Merger

By Sanghyun Park

  • If stocks close above the appraisal prices on the 10th, NPS will support the merger; otherwise, they’ll abstain to secure their appraisal rights.
  • Due to cancellation risk hitting the ceiling, NPS will likely exercise half its position and start buybacks after the results.
  • With both stocks heavily weighted in KOSPI 200, NPS is likely to opt for a tight buyback window, boosting chances for upward price action on Doosan’s shares in that period.

Doosan Group Is Likely To Cancel Its Restructuring Plans

By Douglas Kim

  • In the next several days, it is likely that the Doosan Group is likely to cancel its restructuring plan involving Doosan Enerbility, Doosan Bobcat, and Doosan Robotics.
  • As a result of the sharp decline in share prices of major Doosan Group companies, the cost of appraisal rights may be too much for the Doosan Group.
  • Despite the negative impact of recent political events in Korea, a cancellation of  Doosan Group restructuring plan could have a near-term positive impact on all the major Doosan Group companies.
