SK Hynix has stated that there are no specific decisions made regarding funding methods for its subsidiary Solidigm. This clarification comes amid concerns in the market about potential dual listing and its impact on existing shareholder value.
In a statement on October 1, SK Hynix said, "Currently, we are exploring various investment options to secure Solidigm's production capacity and technological competitiveness in line with the growth of the high-capacity eSSD market for AI data centers." However, the company emphasized that the methods for securing investment resources, including internal funds and external capital, must be assessed based on market conditions and financial circumstances.
The company’s swift response follows recent speculation in the securities industry regarding a potential dual listing for Solidigm, which has raised concerns among existing SK Hynix shareholders and fears of a decline in stock prices.
SK Hynix reiterated that any future funding methods will prioritize long-term shareholder value. The company plans to carefully compare and verify the economic value and financial impact on existing shareholders when deciding whether to utilize external capital versus internal funds.
If specific plans are developed, SK Hynix will ensure that the board closely examines the financial and business implications and adheres to relevant regulations and procedures.
The company also stated, "We plan to identify the impact on existing shareholders and devise necessary protective measures while communicating transparently with the market."
