mixed 1-3%Camus E&C (까뮤이앤씨) 013700 · KOSPI · 16 Sep 11:18 KST · p≈28%
Buys PC factory land/building/machinery ₩18.18bn (6.1% of assets / ~18% mcap); balance due Mar 2027
What: mid-session Camus E&C boards a ₩18.18bn buy of a Chungbuk PC plant (land + factory + machinery) from Nara PC and four others — 6.1% of YE2025 consol assets and about 18% of the live ~₩99bn mcap — to expand precast-concrete capacity, with the balance due 31 Mar 2027. Why mixed: capacity expansion is operationally constructive for a thin KOSPI PC specialist, but this is cash leaving for a plant with settlement about six months out, a VAT-included face, cancel-if-conditions-fail language, and no near-term revenue print — capex, not a sales contract. Why 1-3%: face/mcap clears mid-teens so size is real on a ~₩100bn name, but cash-out plant buys with a 2027 balance date rarely re-rate like an 8%+ order; near-term band is a thin-name 1-3% headline blip, not unused 3-8%. Why p≈28%: stamp is mid-cash; the tape already opened near +2% and printed a high near +2.9% before fading to about +0.5%, so some of the day move may already be spent — leftover for a further constructive clip into the close is modest.

mixed 1-3%BHI (비에이치아이) 083650 · KOSDAQ · 16 Sep 10:26 KST · p≈22%
Korea Western Power LNG CCPP equipment ₩223.5bn (28.9% of sales / ~11.6% mcap); advance yes, term to Dec 2029
What: mid-session BHI stamps a domestic LNG CCPP equipment supply deal with Korea Western Power for ₩223.5bn total (fixed ₩217.0bn + conditional ₩6.56bn) — 28.9% of 2025 consol sales and about 11.6% of the live ~₩1.93tn mcap — with an advance, 15-day invoice pay, own production, and a term running through Dec 2029. Why mixed: the economic mechanism is constructive (named non-affiliate utility buyer, disclosure-material vs sales, double-digit % of mcap, cash advance), but the cash dribbles across a multi-year build to end-2029, the filing itself says amount/term can move with construction, and the live tape is already −4.1% so the market is not treating the title as unused same-session fuel (EcoPro opposite-tape rule). Why 1-3%: face/mcap looks mid-single-digit capable on a KOSDAQ mid-cap, but multi-year progress-bill / utility equipment class (Samsung E&A / shipyard drip) caps the near-term band at 1-3%; do not inflate off the 28.9% sales bar alone. Why p≈22%: stamp is mid-cash with the stock already red, so leftover for a constructive grind into the close or next open is modest — not a clean unused 3-8% overnight window.

mixed 8%+Me2on (미투온) 201490 · KOSDAQ · 15 Sep 15:55 KST · p≈48%
Kakao Games third-party placement ₩27.9bn (~30% new shares / ~29% mcap) — max holder flips on Nov close
What: after-close board stamps a Kakao Games-led control package — ₩27.9bn third-party placement (~30% new shares / ~29% of ~₩97bn mcap at market) plus a same-day old-share buy from the founder group that flips max holder to Kakao Games on the Nov 16 close (FTC-contingent). Why mixed: strategic Kakao Games capital and a 1-year lockup are constructive for a KOSDAQ game name, but the float jumps ~30% and control overhang / dilution math is the other side of the trade (Artist Studio / E8 / thin-KOSDAQ placement class). Why 8%+: both the cash face vs mcap and the share-count increase clear high-single-digit catalyst size on a sub-₩1tn ADV name that can auction hard either way; not a quiet 1-3% IR note. Why p≈48%: stamp landed 15:55 after the 15:30 cash close, so regular-session leftover is zero and the product is NXT/after-hours plus overnight→09:00 — real after-close window. Haircut from ~55% because close is weeks out (Nov + FTC), the name already printed −5.0% in cash today on other tape, and mixed control/dilution cards often gap then give back.
DART
up 8%+Osung Advanced Materials (오성첨단소재) 052420 · KOSDAQ · 15 Sep 15:54 KST · p≈45%
Sells affiliate Hwail Pharm stake for ₩52.93bn (~55.5% mcap); ₩14.1bn deposit today, balance Nov 19
What: after-close Osung boards a cash exit of most of its affiliate Hwail Pharm stake for ₩52.93bn (~55.5% of ~₩95bn mcap), with ₩14.1bn (~14.8% mcap) hitting the account today and the rest due 19 Nov. Why up: investment-recovery cash at a large % of mcap is immediate balance-sheet fuel on a thin KOSDAQ materials name — deposit alone clears mid-teens of mcap same day. Why 8%+: face ≫ mcap mid-single digits and near-term cash (deposit) already clears a high-single-digit band; thin ADV (~₩2.2억 today) can gap hard overnight (Sammok/Dual liquidity class). Affiliate/계열사 flag applies to the asset being sold, not to an affiliate supply restatement — still note it is portfolio recovery, not a new growth order. Why p≈45%: stamp 15:54 after cash close → leftover is NXT + overnight→09:00. Haircut because the balance is Nov-dated, today’s cash tape already +1%, and recovery exits sometimes print then fade once the deposit is known.

mixed 3-8%Satoshi Holdings (사토시홀딩스) 223310 · KOSDAQ · 15 Sep 15:43 KST · p≈40%
Early buyback of own CB 12th+14th — cash out ₩1.31bn (~5.2% mcap); KSD cancel; convert OTM vs spot
What: after-close board retires ₩1.3bn face of 12th+14th private CBs for ₩1.31bn cash (~5.2% of ~₩25bn mcap) and plans KSD cancel, funded with recent rights-issue proceeds; convert prices ₩4,225 / ₩5,693 sit ~37% / ~85% above spot and conversion only opens in 2027. Why mixed: orderly overhang cleanup / “CB gone” can print as a squeeze-or-cleanup positive on a thin microcap, but paying ~par to extinguish deep-OTM converts burns ~5% of mcap cash that just came in from the raise (QuantaMatrix class — cash leaving ≠ automatic relief when convert is OTM). Why 3-8%: cash face clears mid-single digits of mcap on an ~₩25bn ADV-thin name that can whip either way overnight; not 8%+ because the near-term dilution option was already soft (OTM + 2027 start). Why p≈40%: stamps landed 15:42–15:43 after the 15:30 cash close, so regular-session leftover is zero and the product is NXT/after-hours plus the overnight→09:00 auction — real after-close window, haircut because the name already printed −5.7% in cash on other tape and cleanup narrative is two-sided.
DART
mixed 8%+KM Pharma (케이엠제약) 225430 · KOSDAQ · 15 Sep 15:42 KST · p≈45%
Files stay injunction on 14 Sep delisting decision; KRX extends halt and postpones cleanup trading until court rules
What: after the 14 Sep mcap-rule delisting print (cleanup was set 16–28 Sep, delist 29 Sep), KM Pharma amends its court stay to target the delisting decision itself, and KRX responds by extending the halt and shelving cleanup trading until the court rules. Why mixed: a granted stay could reopen a path to keep the listing and defer forced cleanup, but the ₩~45억 mcap sits far below the ₩200bn KOSDAQ floor and street already treats exit as the base case — injunction is delay/binary, not a rescue. Why 8%+: halted delisting/cleanup names gap violently on any resume or single-price window (Dawonsys / Willbes / GenCurix listing-risk class); no price limit in cleanup if it eventually runs. Why p≈45%: name is halted (frozen ₩698 / zero volume), so the band is unused in the tape — leftover is the court binary and whatever session exists after the ruling. Haircut from ~60% because the 14 Sep delisting/halt narrative is already public and the stay does not restore the mcap test.
