<li>The value accretion that will occur by unlocking treasury shares will be more significant than Hyundai Dept. The treasury shares account for 10.64%, compared with 6.61% for Hyundai Dept.</li>
<li>Neither Holdco nor Opco will likely remain in the KOSPI 200 after relisting. So we cannot expect PASSIVE inflow at the time of relisting.</li>
<li>A tender will likely follow. However, neither is available for shorting. So, we should use Opco's overheated price adjustment as an exit timing for our positions aimed at value accretion.</li>
