<news1><![CDATA[SK hynix has decided to halt its review of a pre-IPO investment and an initial public offering (IPO) for its U.S.-based subsidiary Solidigm.

The company had been considering various financing options, including direct investment and an IPO, to fund new production facilities in the United States aimed at meeting growing demand for AI memory products. SK hynix had expected that attracting external capital could ease its investment burden and provide greater flexibility for shareholder returns, but said it decided to suspend the plan after considering recent capital market conditions and share price movements.

Market observers say strong opposition from shareholders and a decline in SK hynix’s share price played a significant role in the decision. Concerns had persisted that a separate listing of Solidigm could undermine the value of existing shareholders of the parent company, raising issues over a potential duplicate listing.

Political figures have also called for stronger protection of existing shareholders. Lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties said the decision to halt the IPO review reflected investors’ concerns. Financial regulators have likewise emphasized the need to protect shareholders in cases involving overseas listings.

At a parliamentary audit on the 22nd, Financial Services Commission Chairman Lee Eog-weon said a potential Solidigm listing would fall under guidelines governing duplicate listings and that the boards of SK hynix and SK Square would be expected to fulfill their duties to shareholders.

SK hynix said there has been no change in its assessment of Solidigm’s growth potential or the need for continued investment.

“We will review the timing, scale and financing structure of future investments and seek ways to support Solidigm’s growth while also enhancing the interests of our existing shareholders,” the company said.]]></news1>
