Open-market buyback+cancel ₩10.0bn / 629k shares (~2.9% mcap); Sep 21–Oct 22; fair-disclosure already out
What: mid-session Handsome stamps a board-approved open-market buyback of up to 629,327 shares / ₩10,000,006,030 (=₩10.0bn), to run 21 Sep–22 Oct 2026, with the shares intended for cancel — about 2.9% of the ~₩341bn prior-close mcap. Why up: a cash bid plus permanent float shrink is mechanical support into the buy window, not an admin rollover. Why 1-3% (not 3-8%/8%+): size is only ~2.9% of mcap on a liquid KOSPI mid-cap; cancel language helps but does not promote a thin-name 8%+ shock when face/mcap is low-single-digit. Why p≈15%: leftover is tape leftover. The 10:31 fair disclosure already told the street the same ₩10bn/year buyback+cancel plan; by enrich live is already +4.4% with high +5.7%, which has cleared a 1-3% band. Remaining p is only whether the close holds vs fade ahead of the 21 Sep start — not unused same-day alpha on a fresh surprise.
