Fair disclosure: cancel-bound buyback program ₩140bn total (~6.8% mcap; includes today's ₩40bn) — residual ₩100bn soft / ≤1y
2026-09-30 08:36 KST: Cheil Worldwide (제일기획, 030000, KOSPI) filed a fair-disclosure / ad-hoc disclosure obligation notice (수시공시의무관련사항/공정공시). Title: treasury buyback and cancel plan. IR informs domestic/foreign investors and press that the company plans a NEW treasury acquisition AND cancel program — purpose shareholder/enterprise-value maximization; total size ₩140,000,000,000 (₩140bn / 1,400억) INCLUDING the ₩40bn board-resolved today; method: within 1 year after board resolution, split purchases, and full cancel of acquired shares. Residual detail for the uncommitted portion is to be set by future board resolutions and may change with market/ops conditions. Related disclosure: 2026-09-30 treasury acquisition decision. Contact IR 02-3780-3414. rcpNo 20260930800031 / dcmNo 11595543 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (제일기획 matches). Live at enrich (Naver 030000 @2026-09-30 08:35 KST, PREOPEN/HALTED): last/prev-close ₩17,880 (0.00%); listed 115,041,225; mcap ≈ ₩2056.9bn (₩2.06tn); program ₩140bn ≈6.8% of mcap; residual ₩100bn ≈4.9% of mcap (~5.59m sh @ ₩17,880); over unchanged. Companions already on desk: rcp 20260930800003 already-held cancel ~12% halt→09:30; rcp 20260930000006 OM buyback ₩40bn cancel-bound.
What: Pre-open fair disclosure expands Cheil's shareholder-return buyback to a ₩140bn cancel-bound program (~6.8% of ₩2.06tn mcap), of which today's ₩40bn board stamp is included — so ~₩100bn (~4.9% mcap) is still soft, to be boarded within ≤1 year with full cancel. Why UP: Incremental cancel-bound cash-bid intention on top of the hard ₩40bn OM + morning ~12% already-held cancel package — float-shrink framing for IR into the 09:30 resume. Why 1-3%: Residual is NOT board-detailed yet (explicit future-board / market-condition caveat) on a liquid Samsung-affiliate mid-cap — refuse 3-8%/8%+ off the soft ₩100bn; hard size stays on the two prior cards. Why p≈30%: Halted/flat so some unused package support into 09:30 remains, but this stamp is mostly IR packaging of known ₩40bn + soft forward guide → haircut vs 50%.

Cancel-bound open-market buyback ₩40.0bn (~2.24m sh / ~1.9% mcap) Oct 1–Dec 30 — companion to morning ≥10% already-held cancel
2026-09-30 08:26 KST: Cheil Worldwide (제일기획, 030000, KOSPI) filed a material report — treasury-stock acquisition decision (주요사항보고서/자기주식취득결정). Planned common: 2,237,136 sh priced off prior close ₩17,880; planned amount ₩40,000,000,000 (₩40.0bn / 400억). Period: 2026-10-01 → 2026-12-30. Purpose: shareholder value via acquisition AND cancel. Method: open-market KRX buy. Brokers: Samsung Securities, Shinhan Securities, KB Securities. Pre-buy treasury held: 13,762,500 common (12.0%) — same stack as morning cancel. Board: 2026-09-30; daily order cap 223,713 sh. Note: after acquisition complete, will cancel ALL acquired shares per shareholder-return policy. Company confirmed 주식회사 제일기획 / Cheil; ticker 030000 KOSPI. Companion already on desk: rcpNo 20260930800003 already-held treasury cancel 13.76m sh (~12% / ₩282.8bn book) with halt 07:53→09:30. rcpNo 20260930000006 / dcmNo 11595525 confirmed on DART HTML viewer. Live at enrich (Naver 030000 @2026-09-30 08:26 KST, PREOPEN/HALTED): last/prev-close ₩17,880 (0.00%); listed shares 115,041,225; mcap ≈ ₩2056.9bn (₩2.06tn); buyback ≈1.9% of mcap / ~1.9% of issued; over ₩17,880 unchanged.
What: Pre-open Cheil Worldwide adds a cancel-bound open-market buyback ₩40.0bn (~2.24m sh @ ₩17,880; ~1.9% of ₩2.06tn mcap) Oct 1–Dec 30; all acquired shares to be cancelled after completion — companion to this morning's already-held cancel 13.76m (~12%) halt→09:30. Why UP: Fresh cash bid + permanent float shrink (cancel-bound), stacking on the ≥10% already-held cancel package. Why 1-3%: This stamp alone is ~2% of mcap — KT&G / mega-midcap cancel-bound buyback grind, not another 8%+ (8%+ stays on the morning cancel card). Why p≈35%: Buys start Oct 1 (not same-session cash) so haircut vs default 50%; name is halted/flat so unused tape leftover remains into the 09:30 resume as package support, not a second 8%+ prior.

Already-held treasury cancel 13.76m sh (~12.0% of issued / ~12% of ₩2.06tn mcap) — halt 07:53→09:30; cancel date 15 Oct; book ₩282.8bn
2026-09-30 08:06 KST: Cheil Worldwide (제일기획, 030000, KOSPI) filed a treasury-stock cancellation decision (주식소각결정). Cancel: 13,762,500 common (no preferred). Issued shares (form): 115,041,225 common → cancel ≈11.96% of issued. Par ₩200. Cancel scheduled amount (book value at board date): ₩282,754,692,136 (₩282.75bn). Method: already-held treasury (기취득 자기주식); no new buyback window. Cancel date: 2026-10-15. Board: 2026-09-30 (2 outside directors present; auditor present). Notes: Art. 343(1) cancel within distributable profits — no reduction of legal capital; purpose enterprise-value / shareholder return; this disclosure also stands in for a treasury-disposal filing. Companion halt (rcpNo 20260930800004 / dcmNo 11595537): important-disclosure trading halt 2026-09-30 07:53 → resume 09:30 KST; reason stock-cancel ≥10% (KOSPI disclosure rule Art. 40). rcpNo 20260930800003 / dcmNo 11595539 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (제일기획 matches).

What: Pre-open Cheil Worldwide will cancel 13.76m already-held treasury shares (~12.0% of 115.0m issued; book ₩282.8bn / ~12% of ₩2.06tn mcap) on 15 Oct; KRX halted the name 07:53→09:30 for a ≥10% cancel. Why UP: Permanent float shrink with no new cash out and no capital reduction — pure share-count cut framed as shareholder return (PlumbFast / SNT Motive / KTis already-held cancel class). Why 8%+: Crosses the KRX ≥10% cancel-halt threshold; refuse 1-3%/3-8% caps that fit ESOP trusts or small cancel-bound programs. Liquid Samsung-affiliate mid-cap can under-spike vs micro ADV, but size is 8%+ catalyst class. Why p≈50%: Clean halt→09:30 resume leftover (best window on the board); resume auctions are two-way so not a lock — leftover collapses after the single-price print.

Own Series-8 private CB resale — ₩11.5bn face to Yuanta for ₩16.41bn (proceeds 30 Sep); convert ₩3,136 / ~4.6% OS; not cancelled
2026-09-29 15:55 KST: Danal (다날, 064260, KOSDAQ) filed an own convertible-bond sale decision (자기전환사채매도결정) for Series 8 unnamed unsecured private CB (issued 2024-10-30; maturity 2029-10-30; original series face ₩35.0bn). Notes confirm this resells ₩11.5bn face of the ₩14.0bn face the company decided to early-acquire on 2026-09-18 via issuer call (취득금액 on the ₩14.0bn block ₩14.268bn). Buyer: Yuanta Securities (유안타증권; unrelated) for face ₩11.5bn. Sale amount ₩16,410,232,225 (₩16.41bn); proceeds receipt date 2026-09-30; purpose operating funds. Conversion: 100% ratio; convert price ₩3,136/sh → 3,667,091 common (~4.62% of shares per form); convert window 2025-10-30–2029-09-30. Structured settle: contract 2026-09-30–2027-09-30; P&L split after sale costs company 90% / buyer 10%. rcpNo 20260929900571 / dcmNo 11594494 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (다날 matches). Live at enrich (Naver/Daum 064260 @2026-09-29 15:55 KST, post-cash/AH): last ₩4,335 (−140 / −3.13% vs prev-close ₩4,475); session O/H/L ₩4,415 / ₩4,475 / ₩4,325; vol ~610k; listed shares 75,645,457; mcap ≈ ₩327.9bn; sale/mcap ≈ 5.0%; convert ITM vs spot (~+38%); high 0.0% vs prev-close.
What: After cash close Danal is reselling ₩11.5bn face of Series-8 private CB (the block it called in on 18 Sep) to Yuanta for ₩16.41bn cash due 30 Sep (~5.0% of live ₩328bn mcap), with convert still live at ₩3,136 into ~4.6% of shares. Why mixed: Near-term ops cash is real (proceeds tomorrow), but this is a resale not a KSD cancel — ITM overhang transfers to a securities firm, and the 90/10 one-year settle keeps most economics with Danal (financing/TRS-like, not clean extinguishment). Sep-18 early-acquire was the first shoe; live already −3.1% further cuts a clean UP. Why 1-3%: Refuse 3-8%/8%+ off the ~5% mcap cash print — overhang remains ITM, structure retains 90% P&L, and the call path was already disclosed 11 days earlier. Stamp MIXED 1-3% overnight confirmation (QuantaMatrix/own-CB cleanup class inverted: cash in, overhang stays). Why p≈20%: Stamp 15:55 is after regular cash close (NXT/AH thin); same-session cash leftover ≈ 0; product is overnight → next-open only at p≈20% (after-close CB class).
