Keyang Electric's massive 28.88% rights offering raises concerns over financial distress and share dilution

Keyang Electric plans a rights offering of 8,200,000 new shares (28.88% dilution) at an expected price of 4,985 won, raising approximately 40.9 billion won
Proceeds allocated to debt repayment (19.67 billion), facility investment (4.8 billion), and working capital (16.41 billion)\- Severe financial distress: operating loss of 27.1 billion won in 2025 (continued losses), debt-to-equity ratio of 955.21%, negative equity (equity 22.3B vs debt 213.1B)\- Business risks: downturn in construction, shipbuilding, and automotive industries, exchange rate volatility, and pressure to lower supply prices
Heavy customer concentration (Hyundai Motor Group accounts for 86.1% of auto parts revenue), embezzlement incident (24.65 billion won), and asset impairment (11.4 billion won in 2025)\- Majority shareholder Haesung Industrial plans to fully subscribe to its allotment, but its stake will decrease from 34.00% to 32.18%\- New robotics business (MobED DnL module) expected to generate revenue, but faces initial investment burden and uncertainty
If the offering is withdrawn, there could be losses from ex-rights price adjustment and trading of subscription rights; if public offering is undersubscribed, additional downward pressure on stock price
