HLB Chairman Jin Yang-gon, the largest shareholder of HLB, has submitted a report on changes in large-shareholdings status following the execution of a new stock-collateralized loan agreement and the amendment of existing contract terms. The number of shares held and the ownership ratio remain unchanged, with only the shares pledged as collateral increasing.

HLB stated in a disclosure on the 16th that Chairman Jin submitted the report citing changes to stock-collateralized loan agreements as the reason.

According to the report, the shares held by Chairman Jin and related parties total 13,332,011 shares, identical to the previous report, and the ownership ratio also remains unchanged at 9.95%. Based on common shares with voting rights, the figure stands at 12,501,425 shares (9.40%).

Meanwhile, the number of shares subject to major contracts such as collateral provision increased by 646,340 shares, from the previous 2,047,813 shares (1.53%) to 2,694,153 shares (2.01%). This is not a change in actual holdings but rather the result of a new stock-collateralized loan agreement and amendments to contract terms.

Looking at the details, HLB Global first entered into a new stock-collateralized loan agreement with Korea Investment & Securities, pledging 263,636 shares of HLB common stock as collateral. The contract period runs from July 14, 2026, to April 17, 2027, with a loan amount of 3 billion won and a collateral maintenance ratio of 200%.

Additionally, the terms of two existing collateralized loan agreements executed by HLB Cell were amended. HLB Cell extended the maturity of its contract with Korea Investment & Securities (292,398 pledged shares) to December 30, 2026, and its contract with IBK Capital (389,864 pledged shares) to March 30, 2027.
