Two dates sit at either end of Korea's low-PBR publication rule, and they are counted in different units. The first is 22 October 2026. A listed company that would otherwise appear on the Korea Exchange's low-PBR list can stay off it for a year by filing a corporate value-up plan that contains a separate PBR improvement plan. The second is 2 November 2026, when the Exchange posts the first list on KIND and securities firms begin showing a "low PBR" marker beside the ticker in their trading apps. Selection is by market and by industry group: a company qualifies if its PBR has sat in the bottom 25% on KOSPI, or the bottom 10% on KOSDAQ, for six consecutive half-yearly readings over three years. On 6 October the Exchange published its monthly corporate value-up status, measured at the end of September. Cumulatively, 764 listed companies have a value-up plan on file — 358 on KOSPI and 406 on KOSDAQ, a total that includes 638 high-dividend disclosures. Their combined mar...

Two markets spent 2026 raising the same kind of threshold. Both ended the year with that threshold suspended. The sequence in which the suspension arrived is the part worth reading. A continued-listing floor based on market capitalisation is a rule with an unusual property: the company does not file the variable that decides it. Revenue, equity and audit opinions arrive from the issuer. Market value arrives from everyone else. When an exchange raises that floor, it changes an outcome the issuer cannot directly produce, which is why the procedure for objecting to the rule carries more weight here than it does for a filing-based criterion. What the two markets did Nasdaq's new standard requires USD 5 million in market value of listed securities and pairs it with a substantially accelerated removal process — the traditional cure period and the automatic stay on appeal are both removed. The SEC approved it on 22 July 2026. On 4 August 2026, following a petition by the Small Public ...

  Every continued-listing regime has to pick a variable. The choice looks technical and is not. It decides who produces the evidence that ends a listing, and therefore how much time sits between that evidence and the exit. Korea has moved that variable decisively toward price. The minimum market capitalisation for continued KOSDAQ listing was raised from KRW 4.0bn to KRW 15bn early in 2026, then to KRW 20bn from July. A separate rule, also effective July, targets shares trading below KRW 1,000. Both are measured the same way: thirty trading days below the line brings designation as a management issue, and the company must then hold above the line for 45 consecutive trading days inside a 90-day window to avoid a delisting decision. The counts, as reported on 25 September 2026 Between 12 August and that date, 17 KOSDAQ issuers were designated on the market-capitalisation test. Eight KOSDAQ issuers, excluding SPACs, have had delisting decided this year on that test — none in the fi...

On 21 September, at a press briefing marking his first year in office, Korea Fair Trade Commission chairman Joo Byung-ki described the Naver Financial–Dunamu share exchange as a combination of dominant platforms across search, simple payments and digital assets. He said the KFTC is examining the deal's competitive effects across a total of 10 connected markets, that it has issued more than ten rounds of data requests, and that the volume of economic analysis makes this a high-difficulty review. He committed to concluding deliberation within the year. Two and a half months earlier, the schedule had already moved. Naver disclosed in July that the shareholder meeting for the comprehensive share exchange was pushed from 18 August to 19 November, and the effective date of the exchange from 30 September to 31 December — the second postponement, against an original plan to close in the first half of the year. Completion requires several separate clearances: KFTC merger approval, approva...

On 18 September 2026, a KOSDAQ-listed company called Satoshi Holdings (223310) filed an amendment to a disclosure it had already made. The placement itself stayed recognisable: 5,509,745 new shares to a single investment partnership at KRW 2,668 per share, KRW 14.7bn in total, locked up at the Korea Securities Depository for one year. What the amendment changed was the table underneath. Working capital fell from KRW 3,999,999,660 to KRW 2,999,999,660. Debt repayment rose from KRW 10,700,000,000 to KRW 11,700,000,000. And the list of debts being repaid gained an entry: the company's 13th-series convertible bond, held by an investment partnership. Eight days before that, on 10 September, the same company had disclosed something that makes the amendment legible. It was buying back, early, a KRW 7.0bn private convertible bond — its 12th series, issued on 9 March 2026 with a maturity of 9 March 2029. The buyback price, principal plus interest, was KRW 7,000,649,003. The disclosure nam...
