Osstem Implant: Founder Choi Changes CB Sale Terms to MBK-Unison & KCGI Agrees to Sell Its Shares

By Douglas Kim

  • Due to the enormous controversy regarding Chairman Choi Gyu-Ok’s children exchange CB call options for BWs, the Choi family has decided to change and simplify this transaction structure.
  • Previously, MBK-Unison decided to acquire the call option on CB that Chairman Choi gave to his children. Under revised contract, MBK-Unison agreed to acquire the convertible bond itself.
  • We believe MBK-Unison consortium is getting a relative bargain in this deal and the valuation of Osstem Implant remain attractive (EV/EBITDA of 6.4x and P/E of 11.7x in 2024).
