Woori Technology (032820) has been designated as an overheated short-selling stock, and short-selling transactions will be banned for one day on the 14th.

According to the regulatory filing, Woori Technology was designated as an overheated short-selling stock under Article 9-2 of the KOSDAQ Market Business Regulations and Article 8-5 of the Enforcement Rules thereof, with the designation date set for September 14, 2026.

Accordingly, short-selling of Woori Technology shares will be banned on the designation date in both the regular market and the after-hours market, and short selling will be permitted again from the day following the designation date.

However, if the stock price falls by 5% or more on the day of the short-selling ban, which follows the identification of the overheated short-selling stock, the short-selling ban period will be extended.

Meanwhile, liquidity-providing quotes and market-making quotes in the stock market, quotes for hedging transactions aimed at providing liquidity for ELW, ETF, and ETN products, and quotes for hedging transactions for market-making in the derivatives market are exempted and short selling is permitted.

In addition, if the designated stock is subject to a trading suspension on the designation date, no separate measures arising from the designation will be applied.
