2026-09-29 13:23 KST: Shinil Electronics (신일전자, 002700, KOSPI) filed a material report — treasury-share acquisition decision (주요사항보고서/자기주식취득결정). Shares to acquire: common 2,139,037; other 0. Planned amount: ₩1,999,999,595 (=₩2.000bn / 20.00억) — sized off board-eve close 2026-09-28 ₩935/sh (actual cost may vary). Window: 2026-09-30 → 2026-12-29. Hold-after period: blank ("-" / no dated cancel). Purpose: share-price stability and shareholder-value enhancement (주식가격안정 및 주주가치제고). Method: open-market direct buy on KOSPI (유가증권시장 장내매수) — not a trust. Broker: Korea Investment & Securities (한국투자증권). Pre-deal treasury (dividendable-range): common 2,201,284 (3.21%); other 0 — after a prior 2026 program that bought 1,767,510sh and cancelled 2,500,000sh.

Why up: Named cash bid into the book starting tomorrow on a ~₩67bn KOSPI small-appliance name — not a dilutive raise and not an ESOP return-to-float path. Why 1-3%: Face/mcap ~3.0% with blank hold-after / no cancel is Daechang / Cenotec price-support class — refuse 3-8% (Handsome/YM need cancel-bound or soft-cancel trust) and refuse 8%+ (no already-held cancel).

Samsung Securities cancel-bound buyback trust ₩15.00bn / 880,798sh (~3.7% OS / ~3.6% mcap) — shareholder return; window 29 Sep→29 Mar; soft cancel

2026-09-29 13:10 KST: Dear U (디어유, 376300, KOSDAQ) filed a material report — treasury-share acquisition trust contract decision (주요사항보고서/자기주식취득신탁계약체결결정). Contract amount: ₩15,000,000,000 (=₩15.000bn / 150.00억). Contract period: 2026-09-29 → 2027-03-29. Purpose: acquire and cancel treasury shares for shareholder return and shareholder-value enhancement (자기주식 취득 및 소각을 통한 주주환원과 주주가치 제고). Trustee/broker: Samsung Securities Co., Ltd.

Why up: Named cash bid into the book starting today plus cancel intent permanently removes float on a ~₩421bn KOSDAQ content/IP name — not a dilutive raise and not an ESOP return-to-float. Why 3-8%: Face/mcap ~3.6% / shares/OS ~3.7% with cancel-bound trust language is Handsome/YM / iQuest mid-band; refuse 8%+ because cancel is not dated/already-held (PlumbFast/Multicampus) and ADV is modest; refuse 1-3% because purpose is cancel/shareholder-return (not Aniplus ESOP/soft-cancel class) and ~3.6% face clears the sub-2% drop floor. Why p≈30%: Live already +4.11% (high +5.28%) into the lower half of 3-8% within minutes of the 13:10 stamp — part of the band is spent; leftover is residual same-session grind into a same-day buy window, not a clean unused auction gap.

2026-09-29 12:38 KST: Aniplus (애니플러스, 310200, KOSDAQ) filed a material report — treasury-share acquisition trust contract decision (주요사항보고서/자기주식취득신탁계약체결결정). Contract amount: ₩2,000,000,000 (=₩2.000bn / 20.00억). Contract period: 2026-10-01 → 2027-03-31. Purpose: share-price stability and employee stock compensation (주가 안정 및 임직원 주식 보상).

Why up: A named cash bid into the book starting tomorrow is still constructive support on a ~₩100bn KOSDAQ content name — not a dilutive raise. Why 1-3%: Face/mcap ~2% with explicit ESOP/employee-compensation purpose means acquired stock can return to float (Jindo / Clean & Science / ESOP-trust class); refuse 3-8% because cancel is not dated/already-held and purpose is dual ESOP (not Handsome/YM cancel-bound).

2026-09-29 11:59 KST: Semifive (세미파이브, 490470, KOSDAQ) filed a single sales·supply contract (단일판매ㆍ공급계약체결). Content: AI inference-accelerator ASIC design and development contract (AI 추론가속기 ASIC 설계 및 개발계약). Conditional contract: yes. Firm contract amount: ₩61,110,400,000 (=₩61.110bn / 611.104억).

What: Mid-session Semifive disclosed a US AI-fabless ASIC design/development win totaling ₩70.304bn ($52m at ₩1,352) — 58.13% of 2025 consolidated sales and ~11.8% of live mcap — with an 11% cash advance on the firm ₩61.11bn tranche and delivery/design work running through 30 Apr 2028; the counterparty name is secrecy-held. Why up: This is a core-theme AI-accelerator design booking with real near-term cash (11% advance) at more than half of last-year sales on a ~₩597bn KOSDAQ design house — not an affiliate restatement and not a soft IR (Semifive AI-supply class, now with disclosed face). Why 8%+: Face/mcap ~12% plus 58% of sales plus an advance clears the top band (LS Marine / hot-theme contract class); refuse 3-8% because the firm tranche alone is ~10% of mcap with staged cash, and AI-ASIC narrative historically trades past mid-band on this name. Haircut only the contingent ₩9.2bn and multi-year design duration — not enough to drop the band. Why p≈14%: Session high already +11.9% and live +7.3% within ~5 min of the 11:59 stamp — the 8%+ impulse is largely spent; leftover is autopsy / don't-chase, not unused mid-session alpha.

Exit TDI manufacturing & sales — face ₩117.9bn = 5.87% of 2025 consol sales; effective ~18 Dec; marginal-business cleanup; halt 10:58–11:28

2026-09-29 10:58 KST: OCI (OCI 주식회사, 456040, KOSPI) filed a material report — business suspension (주요사항보고서/영업정지). Suspended field: TDI manufacturing and sales business (TDI 제조 및 판매 사업). Suspension amount (영업정지금액): ₩117,947,181,460 (=₩117.95bn / 1,179.5억). Recent sales total (2025 consolidated): ₩2,009,429,144,163 (=₩2,009.43bn) → 5.87% of sales. Large-corporation filer: yes. Exchange mandatory disclosure: yes. Content: discontinue TDI manufacturing and sales business. Reason: exit of a marginal/unprofitable business (한계사업 정리). Future measures (company): improve profitability / corporate and shareholder value. Stated impact (company): profitability improvement from exiting the marginal business. Suspension effective date: 2026-12-18 (may move with progress). Board resolution: 2026-09-29 (4 independent directors present / 0 absent; auditor present).

What: Mid-session OCI board resolved to discontinue its TDI manufacturing and sales line, booking a ₩117.95bn suspension face (5.87% of 2025 consolidated sales / ~17.2% of live mcap) with an effective date around 18 Dec 2026, framed as exiting a marginal business for profitability; KRX halted the stock 10:58–11:28 for the material disclosure. Why mixed: Management's own reason is cleanup of an unprofitable line (restructuring / margin positive), but the form permanently removes ~5.9% of consol sales with no disclosed exit gain, charge, or residual P&L — and the tape already printed −4.0% into the halt (first vote is sales-loss fear, not a celebration). This is not a regulator-forced company-wide ban (Daeyang class). Why 3-8%: 5.87% of sales plus a KRX material halt on a ~₩685bn KOSPI name is mid-band; refuse 8%+ because it is a selective product-line exit dated Dec, not a same-day credit hole or whole-firm stop; refuse 1-3% because the halt + live mid-single move show more than noise. Sales-% is disclosure materiality, not the price band (sales%≠band rule). Why p≈32%: The 11:28 resume single-price auction is the real leftover window (SNT Motive halt class); live already −4.02% at the session low into the halt spends part of a 3-8% band, so leftover is two-way resume risk (~32%), not a clean unused short.

What: Mid-session Fidelix disclosed a US memory-semiconductor supply purchase order from Alliance Memory for ₩19.24bn ($14.15m at ₩1,360), equal to 35.8% of 2025 standalone sales and ~7.9% of live mcap, with due-on-receipt cash and delivery through 28 Feb 2027; the company is fabless (outsourced) and has done same-type deals with this counterparty in the last three years. Why up: A named US memory distributor PO at more than a third of last-year sales is real near-term revenue visibility on a thin KOSDAQ fabless name — not an affiliate restatement and not a soft IR. Why 3-8%: Face/mcap ~8% plus 35.8% of sales clears mid-band, but there is zero advance and cash only on delivery over ~5 months, so refuse 8%+ (Eco&Dream / materials-PO no-advance class).

Cancel 8.33m treasury shares (25.0% of OS) ~13 Oct — face ₩248.4bn at prior close; capital unchanged; halt 10:28–10:58 for ≥10% cancel

2026-09-29 10:28 KST: SNT Dynamics (SNT다이내믹스, 003570, KOSPI) filed a stock-cancellation decision (주식소각결정). Cancel common shares: 8,334,579; preferred: 0.

Cancel face (소각예정금액): ₩248,370,454,200 (=₩248.37bn / 2,483.7억) — form says prior-business-day close basis (₩29,800/sh → 8,334,579×₩29,800). Acquisition method: already-held treasury (기취득 자기주식); no new buyback window (start/end "-"). Cancel scheduled date: 2026-10-13 (may slip with admin). Board resolution: 2026-09-29 (1 outside director present; auditor present). FTC filing: not applicable.

Why up: Destroying a quarter of the share count without issuing new equity is mechanically EPS- and BPS-accretive and tightens free float — the exchange halt threshold itself marks this as a size event, not an IR notice. Why 3-8%: Face is ~25% of mcap / 25% of OS, which would clear 8%+ on a fresh buyback, but call-rules treat treasury cancel of already-held shares as an admin stamp with no new cash return (move often already on the first buyback print); Mon already ran +13.24%, so refuse 8%+.

MFDS Phase-3 plan APPROVAL for Lu-177 DGUL (Pocuvotide) in mCRPC — 150 pts; applied 30 Jun, approved 28 Sep

2026-09-29 07:38 KST: Cellbion (셀비온, 308430, KOSDAQ) filed an ad-hoc fair disclosure — investment-judgment major matter (clinical-trial plan approval etc.). Title: multicenter, open-label, randomized Phase-3 clinical-trial plan APPROVAL evaluating efficacy and safety of Lutetium(177Lu) DGUL (Pocuvotide tetraxetan) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Stage: Phase 3. Approving authority: MFDS (식품의약품안전처). Country: Korea. Sites: multicenter (Seoul National University Hospital etc.). Indication: mCRPC. Application date: 2026-06-30. Approval/decision date: 2026-09-28. Registration No.: 20260131137. Primary objective: rPFS of BSC/SoC + Lu-177 DGUL vs BSC/SoC alone (BICR, PCWG3 modified RECIST v1.1). Design: 150 subjects 1:1 randomized; Lu-177 DGUL q6w ×4 (up to +2 = max 6); cross-over allowed after radiographic progression in control arm. Trial period: ~36 months from IRB approval; expected end 2030-01-31. Fact date / confirmation: 2026-09-28 (= MFDS approval notice date). Risk notes on form: ~10% historical drug-approval odds; commercial plans may change.

What: Overnight Cellbion disclosed MFDS approval of its Korea Phase-3 plan for Lu-177 DGUL (Pocuvotide) in mCRPC — 150-patient multicenter open randomized add-on vs BSC/SoC, applied 30 Jun and approved 28 Sep, with ~36-month run to a 2030-01-31 expected end. Why up: Phase-3 CTA/plan approval is real pipeline progression for a radiopharma name whose lead asset just cleared the regulatory gate to start pivotal dosing — not an affiliate restatement and not a soft IR guide. Why 3-8%: This is plan approval to start Phase 3, not a CSR/efficacy win (Inventera class is hotter); Jun-30 application already telegraphed the calendar, and the form itself cites ~10% historical approval odds — refuse 8%+ binary-shock.

Align Partners court petition to appoint EGM inspector for 8 Oct meeting — control-fight process stamp

2026-09-29 07:32 KST: Gabia (가비아, 079940, KOSDAQ) filed litigation etc. raised/applied (경영권 분쟁 소송). Case name: appointment of inspector (검사인 선임). Case No.: 2026비합10052. Court: Suwon District Court Anyang Branch (수원지방법원 안양지원). Applicant/plaintiff: Align Partners Asset Management Co., Ltd. (얼라인파트너스자산운용주식회사) + 1 other. Respondent: Gabia, Inc. Relief sought: court-appointed inspector to investigate legality of convening procedures and resolution methods for the extraordinary general meeting scheduled 2026-10-08 11:00 (incl. adjourned/continued/changed meetings), covering board convening resolution, notice content, shareholder access, proxy review, voting (incl. confirmation of voting-rights restrictions under Suwon Anyang 2026카합10156), ballot handling, and minutes — inspector fees to be borne by Gabia. Company response: will respond under legal procedures. Application/confirmation dates: 2026-09-28.

What: Overnight Gabia disclosed that Align Partners (+1) petitioned the Anyang court (2026비합10052) to appoint an inspector over the 8 Oct EGM’s convening/voting legality — sequel to the Aug-28 EGM resolution and Sep-23 convening notice, and tied to an existing voting-rights restriction case (2026카합10156). Why mixed: A control-fight process stamp that can still whip governance premium or short-covering, but petition ≠ inspector granted ≠ board flip (Mobile Appliance / Gabia-DCK class) — not a clean directional event. Why 1-3%: On a ~₩542bn KOSDAQ name this is incremental process inside a known fight, not a new tender or SPA; refuse mid-single inventing a significant move. Why p≈28%: Pre-open leftover into 09:00 is unused; haircut because the Oct-8 EGM path was already telegraphed since late August.

Why mixed: Control-bid cash at a large premium to the ₩471 last is real (Artist Studio / Nexa / K3I class), but +19% share count + opaque ₩10m-property partnership buyer + listing overhang is the other leg — not a clean UP. Why 8%+: Face is ~40% of a ₩10bn microcap with a stated control change — overnight gap/volatility class, not a 1-3% grind. "8%+" here is volatility band, not one-way drift. Why p≈42%: Pre-open 07:30→09:00 leftover is unused; haircut for thin-name two-way whip and for a possible prior Sep-16 2m-share raise path already in the narrative.

2026-09-28 16:00 KST: Dongwha Enterprise (동화기업, 025900, KOSDAQ) filed a decision on debt guarantee for others (타인에대한채무보증결정). Debtor: Park DB First Co., Ltd. (파크디비제일차 주식회사) — relationship: none (SPC set up for this loan ABL/securitization). Creditor: DB Securities Co., Ltd. (디비증권). Debt (borrowed) amount: ₩150,000,000,000 (=₩150.0bn / 1,500억). Guarantee amount: ₩150,000,000,000 (=₩150.0bn) — funding-support (자금보충) obligation; on default, conditional assumption of SPC loan principal/interest to lenders. Equity on the form (2025 YE consolidated): ₩880,173,716,773 (=₩880.17bn) → guarantee/equity 17.04%. Large-corporation filer: yes. Guarantee period: 2026-09-30 → 2028-09-30 (may move with amortization). Total guarantee balance: ₩612,386,171,400 (=₩612.39bn). Board / decision date: 2026-09-28 (1 outside director present; auditor present). Notes: loan funds Park-DB-First so it can on-lend to affiliate M-Park (엠파크); M-Park proceeds are intended as Dongwha parent liquidity, but method/size not yet decided; FX for foreign guarantees uses Hana first mid on 2026-09-28; debtor is new SPC so summary financials blank. rcpNo 20260928900439 / dcmNo 11592343 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (동화기업 matches).

What: After the cash close Dongwha Enterprise approved a ₩150bn (=17% of YE2025 equity / ~43% of ~₩347bn mcap) funding-support guarantee so SPC Park DB First can finance affiliate M-Park, with proceeds notionally earmarked for Dongwha parent liquidity (structure/size still unset), lifting total guarantees to ₩612bn. Why mixed: Credit/guarantee stamps are stronger than backlog, and a path to parent liquidity is real — but this is contingent funding-support plus conditional debt assumption on a related-party loop, not new booked cash. Why 1-3%: Face/mcap is large (EcoPlastic/Namkwang class), yet contingent ≠ same-session cash hole; cut the band vs a clean equity raise. Why p≈25%: After-close so overnight is the product; tape only +2.1%/high +4.6% leaves most of a 1-3% band unused, haircut for shrug-risk on affiliate guarantee optics.

MiniMax launches M3.1-Flash-Preview text/coding model into public testing

Mon 28 Sep: MiniMax began public testing of M3.1-Flash-Preview — native multimodal, ~1M-token context, aimed at bug-fix through full feature work; some developers linked it to the anonymous “Space Bunny” model that topped OpenRouter/OpenCode usage over Mid-Autumn.
