Shapeon (KOSDAQ, 378800) announced on August 11, 2026, that it had decided to acquire the entire outstanding principal of its first series of unregistered, non-guaranteed, convertible bonds through a board resolution and the signing of a purchase agreement. The convertible bonds in question were privately issued on April 15, 2026, with a maturity date of April 15, 2031. The total face value is 8.6 billion won, and the actual acquisition amount, including principal and interest, is approximately 8.68328 billion won. The acquisition will be funded entirely from the company's own funds, with the payment scheduled for August 12, 2026. The acquisition will be made through an off-exchange transaction, and the mutual agreement with the bondholders is the formal reason for the early acquisition. In this early acquisition, a total of 17 entities participated as sellers, including five funds managed by Samsung Securities as the trustee (Funds 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8), as well as 10 private equity funds managed by Korea Investment Securities, Mirae Asset Securities, KB Securities, and NH Investment & Securities, IBKS-Suseong Pre-IPO Mezzanine New Technology Investment Fund (1 billion won), V1 Multistrategy No. 1 Private Investment Partnership (2 billion won), Roadstone Private Equity (3 billion won), Mirae Asset Securities Direct Investment (1 billion won), and three individual investors (Park Sang-woo: 5 billion won, Gong Hong-seok: 4 billion won, and Lee Myung-cheol: 1 billion won). The conversion price for these convertible bonds is 1,685 won per share, and the number of common shares to be issued upon conversion is 5,103,857, which represents 11.04% of the currently outstanding shares (46,243,031). With this full early acquisition, the remaining face value of the convertible bonds will be 0 won, completely eliminating the risk of dilution of shares. A notable feature is that the potential burden of shares is eliminated in advance by pre-redeeming the bonds before the conversion request start date (April 15, 2027). The specific handling of the bonds after the acquisition (e.g., redemption or retention) will be determined separately by the board of directors at a later date.
