Growing Motivation for Holding Company Conversion Holding companies Growing motivation for holding company conversion 1. End of circular shareholdings Overweight (Maintain) For Korean conglomerates, circular shareholdings are no longer a feasible option for Industry Report maintaining and expanding control over their vast business empires. Under the revision to the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act (MRFTA), large corporate groups are November 26, 2015 banned from forming new circular shareholdings or strengthening existing one s. Companies are allowed to keep previously established circul ar shareholdings, but are Daewoo Securities CCCo.,Co., Ltd. encouraged to gradually and voluntarily untie their existing shareholdings (which are required to be publicly disclosed). However, we believe there is a possibility tha t existing [Holding Companies/IT Services] circular shareholdings could also be directly regulated, potentially becoming subject to Dae-ro Jeong mandatory removal within a certain period. +822-768-4160 [email protected] Ultimately, the unwinding of circular shareholdings should serve as a major catalyst to convert to a holding comp any. Some of the biggest Korean conglomerates, such as Yoon-seok Seo Samsung, Hyundai Motor Group (HMG), and Lotte, have recently been making great +822-768-4127 efforts to unwind their existing circular shareholdings. By doing so, they may be able to [email protected] avoid potential policy risks whi le also making the transition to a holding company structure easier. In our view, adopting a holding company structure is the best or second-best option for conglomerates looking to tighten their managerial control and ensure ownership succession. 2. Opportune time for holding company conversion The government is introducing various policies to facilitate holding company conversion. If the intermediate financial holding company bill passes into law, large corporate groups will be able to convert to holding structures without being forced to dispose of their stakes in their financial subsidiaries. In addition, under the Special Act for Corporate Vitality Improvement (the so-called “one-shot” act), tax benefits would be provided for corporate groups’ restructu ring plans and restructuring processes will be simplified, albeit for a limited period (five years). Furthermore, through the tax code revision, the statutory grace period for the deferral of taxation on capital gains from the tender offer would be extended by three years, until end-2018. Historically, corporate governance-related pledges tend to increase during presidential campaigns. Accordingly, the environment for holding company conversions is likely to become increasingly unfavorable heading into the next presidential election in end-2017. Meanwhile, it has taken eight months on average from the announcement of holding structure conversions until the tender offers/rights offerings to meet subsidiary stake requirements. Thus, the two-year period from n ow should be the opportune time for holding company conversion. 3. Attention to shift to dividend after completion of holding company structure Currently, controlling families are facing increasingly limited opportunities to expand their wealth through related-party transactions due to strengthening regulations. When circular shareholdings were large corporate groups’ prevailing structure, dividends were considered the outflow of groups’ cash holdings. Going forward, however, corporate groups should be en couraged to increase dividends after completing a holding company structure as they need a legitimate way to acquire funds to pay inheritance and gift tax for the transfer of managerial control.

For stronger competitiveness and managerial control Corporate groups’ efforts for improving governance were one of the greatest issues in the Korean stock market this year. In 2015, major corporate groups have made various efforts to optimize their business portfolios. Faced with increasing need to concentrate on selected business areas, corporate groups are seeking to streamline their businesses and improve efficiency of each business via spin-offs/split-offs and mergers. Samsung Group and SK Group were the most prominent in this effort. They have optimized their business portfolios to improve competiveness and strengthen controlling families’ managerial control. These efforts will likely continue through 2016, with medium-sized corporate groups following suit. TableTableTable 111.1...

  • Abstract: the Purpose of This Paper Is to Investigate
    THE ECONOMIC COST OF NUCLEAR THREATS: A NORTH KOREA CASE STUDY. Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how public announcements of a nation’s nuclear programme development influence neighbouring countries’ stock markets. The countries examined in this case study are North and South Korea. To test this relationship I conducted an event study using MacKinlay’s market model. Six announcement days were studied comprising out of three nuclear tests and three missile and satellite related tests. The findings of this research are in contrast to prior research. Empirical researches on the economic effects of terrorism suggest that acts of terrorism create large impacts on economic activity. The results of our event study show that the announcements caused both negative and positive reactions on the market. Author: Ryan McKee Student number: 6181066 Supervisor: Shivesh Changoer Date: 8th of Jan, 2014 ETCS: 12 INTRODUCTION Stock prices represent investor’s expectations about the future. News announcements effect these expectations on a day to day basis. Terrorist attacks, military invasions, nuclear threats or any other ambivalent events can alter investor’s expectations and so allow the prices of stocks and bonds to deviate from their fundamental value. Once such events have taken place investors often defer from the market in search of safer, more secure financial investments which can lead to panic and chaos on the markets (Chen and Siems, 2004). Such chaos can also be caused by threats from other neighbouring countries. A perfect example of this is the relationship between North and South Korea. Ever since the division of North and South Korea on September 8, 1945 the two bordering nations have had a strenuous relationship, ultimately leading to the Korean war of 1950-1953.

The country's shipbuilding tonnage was only 15,000 GT in 1972, but grew to 1.4 million GT in 1982 and surpassed 10 million GT in 2000. Based on ship orders, the country's shipbuild- ing industry ranked first in the world from 1999 to 2008 (excluding 2001). Korea surpassed Japan, which had long led the global shipbuilding industry, and emerged as a new shipbuilding power. However, it is also undeniably true that China, which has fostered its shipbuilding industry by es- tablishing a large shipbuilding complex at the national level, is rapidly catching up with Korea and threatens the country's status as the world’s leading shipbuilder.
