[Seoul=News Desk] The Korea Exchange announced on the 5th that it plans to implement market measures for Hanwha Solutions stock futures and options in accordance with Hanwha Solutions' decision for a paid-in capital increase.
The underlying asset subject to the measure is Hanwha Solutions, and the base prices for all delivery month stock futures and stock options will be adjusted. The adjusted base price is calculated by reflecting the ratio of the underlying stock's adjusted base price to the closing price on the day prior to the ex-rights day onto the existing base price.
The trading multiplier will also be adjusted simultaneously. For futures, the targets are items with open interest after the market close on June 12, 2026, while all delivery months are included for options. The adjusted trading multiplier is calculated by multiplying the existing trading multiplier by the ratio of the underlying stock's closing price on the day prior to the ex-rights day to the underlying stock's adjusted base price.
Additionally, futures spread items with differing trading multipliers between the near-month and far-month contracts will be delisted.
For options, the strike prices of all delivery months will be adjusted. When the trading multiplier is adjusted, new strike price items based on the standard multiplier of 10 will also be newly listed. The newly established items will number 9 or more per item from the nearest month to the third nearby month, and 3 or more per item from the fourth to the sixth nearby month.
The application date for these measures is June 15, 2026, which is the ex-rights date for Hanwha Solutions shares.
The Exchange explained that these measures are in response to Hanwha Solutions' decision to execute a paid-in capital increase. It added that detailed measures will be further announced on June 12, 2026, the day prior to the ex-rights date, and that the plan may be subject to change depending on the progress of Hanwha Solutions' paid-in capital increase.
