Details of Two Doosan Mergers Involving Enerbility, Robotics, & Bobcat
- The restructuring plan of Doosan Group announced today primarily consists of two merger events aimed at transferring the stake in Doosan Bobcat held by Doosan Enerbility to Doosan Robotics.
- The 50% price cut on Doosan Enerbility’s share price for merging with Doosan Robotics boosts Robotics’ advantage. This resulted in a swap spread opening with Doosan Bobcat.
- Considering an arbitrage strategy in the Doosan Robotics and Doosan Bobcat swap needs caution due to shareholder approval risks, especially with Doosan Enerbility’s low controlling stake potentially complicating the process.
Trading Setup Targeting the Netmarble PSR Contract, as Seen in the Case of Doosan Bobcat
- This block deal has an unusual PSR (price swap return) contract at ₩58,200, the July 10th closing price, likely preventing Netmarble’s typical stock price correction today.
- In 2022, a similar-sized local PSR transaction involved Doosan Bobcat Inc, with 9.9 million shares and a PSR swap price of ₩37,500.
- As for Doosan Bobcat, the stock initially dropped but rebounded near the PSR swap price, prompting local brokerages, focused on PSR fee income, to sell rather than realize capital gains.
Junjin Construction and Robot IPO Preview
- Junjin Construction & Robot is getting ready to complete its IPO in KOSPI in August. The IPO price range is from 13,800 won to 15,700 won.
- The IPO offering is from 42.5 billion won to 48.3 billion won. The book building for the institutional investors is from 30 July to 5 August.
- The integration of robotics into construction processes is a cornerstone of Junjin’s operations. Its main product is the concrete pump vehicle which pumps cement or concrete at a construction site.
Alteogen (196170 KS): Transitioning Toward Becoming Commercial Stage Biotech Company
- Alteogen Inc (196170 KS) received approval for first product, Tergase, a recombinant human hyaluronidase liquid product, in Korea. Tergase increases penetration during intramuscular or subcutaneous injection and local anesthesia.
- With excellent safety profile compared to existing animal-derived hyaluronidase products, Tergase stands to emerge as a promising alternative in the global hyaluronidase market estimated to be $1B in near future.
- Alteogen’s subsidiary, Altos Biologics submitted marketing authorization approval to the European Medicines Agency for Eylea biosimilar. Approval is expected by next year.
