On 7 October, Korea Zinc announced that of the 1.5 trillion won in its own funds that it previously announced it would invest for the share buyback, 1 trillion won is borrowed money. Of 2.7 trillion won that Korea Zinc is spending on this buyback/tender offer 500 billion won is its own funds, and 2.2 trillion won is borrowed money. If Korea Zinc raises TO price, debt burden is likely to worsen.
