Additional cash into Lucent Investment Partnership ₩14.7bn (35.4% of equity / ~24.5% of mcap) — subsidiary LP; cumulative ₩21.7bn to 100%
What: 11 Sep 16:00 KST (after cash close): Korea Advanced Materials (한국첨단소재, 062970, KOSDAQ) board decided an additional cash contribution of ₩14,700,000,000 = ₩14.7bn into Lucent Investment Partnership (루센트 투자조합), tagged as a subsidiary. Units acquired this round 14,700,000; post-deal ownership 21,700,000 units = 100%. Equity base ₩41,484,716,263 → self-capital ratio 35.43%; acquisition/asset total 79.71% of ₩18.44bn assets. Method: cash contribution (현금출자). Purpose: capital contribution as LP/member for stake acquisition (지분취득을 위한 출자). Scheduled acquisition date 2026-09-11 (same day). Follows a ₩7,000,000,000 = ₩7.0bn contribution on 4 Sep; cumulative after this round ₩21.7bn. Fund is a 2026-new partnership with no summary financials disclosed; Fair Trade report not applicable; no put option. Board 2026-09-11 (1 outside director present). At enrich (~16:07 KST Naver, cash closed): last ₩1,990 (+4.52% / +86 vs prior ₩1,904); day high ₩2,155 (+13.2%); listed shares 30,122,423; mcap ≈ ₩59.9bn → this tranche ≈ 24.5% of mcap; cumulative ₩21.7bn ≈ 36% of mcap; session value ≈ ₩9.34bn. Today's cash move printed before this after-close stamp. Confirmed rcpNo 20260911900455 resolves to Korea Advanced Materials / 한국첨단소재 (dcmNo 11576831).
Why: What: after-close same-day additional ₩14.7bn cash into own subsidiary Lucent Investment Partnership (~35% of equity / ~25% of ~₩60bn mcap), taking the vehicle to 100% / cumulative ₩21.7bn after a ₩7.0bn print on 4 Sep; purpose is LP capital for unnamed stake buys. Why mixed: face is large enough to matter for HQ liquidity and group capital allocation, but the counterparty is an affiliate/subsidiary fund with no named target and blank financials — consolidated cash may stay in-group while opacity and related-party deployment dominate the tape read (not a clean named M&A or buyback). Why 3-8% not 8%+: face vs mcap clears an 8%+ bar, but affiliate/계열사 rule flags and cuts the band; withheld target + new empty fund is mechanism skepticism, not a free 8%+ open-gap call. Thin ~₩60bn KOSDAQ can still gap hard in NXT/09:00, so 3-8% is the overnight band after the haircut. Why p≈30%: after-close leftover into NXT (15:40–20:00) and Monday/next cash open is a real window; today's +4.5% cash close is prior to the stamp so unused overnight band remains, but mixed/opaque mechanism and same-day name-change noise cut conviction below a clean after-close credit card. Desk Why around the DART timestamp; paper until Risk signs.

Anthropic: Moonshot and DeepSeek secretly routed user requests to Claude

CXMT Shanghai fab equipment bid — 4 new fabs by H2’28; closing in on Korea DRAM
ZDNet Korea via Jukan: China’s CXMT (largest China DRAM) started equipment bidding for new Shanghai fab; firming multi-fab plan. Now ~mid-200k wpm (Hefei×2 + Beijing), >300k by YE. Shanghai 4Q26 two-phase, this fab alone >100k wpm; Hefei 1H27; Beijing 2H27; another Hefei area 1H28 → ~+70–80k wpm/yr through 2028; some see >600k long-term (vs Samsung ~700k / Hynix ~600k). Local subsidies + memory demand. KR also expanding (Samsung P4/P5; Hynix M15X + Yongin Y1 orders).
Core mixed 000660/005930 memory tape: near-term demand/scarcity still constructive, but long-horizon China DRAM capacity race compresses Korea share lead. Zephyr TL;DR QT (‘4 new fabs by H2 2028’; ‘knew from memory tsunami report 2mo ago’). Strongest afternoon KR-relevant print.
