Metrica Partners will not tender its funds’ shares in SK Chemicals to SK Discovery

  • SK Discovery’s tender offer price is very low, representing a 74% discount to net assets.
  • SK Chemicals has still not adequately compensated its shareholders for the split-off of SK Bioscience. The Korean regulator has recognised how split-offs can hurt the interests of investors.
  • Only a wholesale restructuring can restore the market’s trust in SK Chemicals.

Metrica Partners Pte. Ltd. manages various investment funds that own shares in SK Chemicals Co., Ltd. (code: 285130).

SK Chemicals is currently subject to a tender offer by SK Discovery Co., Ltd. (code: 006120). SK Discovery is offering to buy 5.22% of SK Chemicals’ shares for ₩108,800 per share.

Metrica believes the offer price to be wholly inadequate and it does not intend to tender any of its funds’ shares. (more…)

Metrica calls for a strategic review to address the extreme share price discount

  • Metrica welcomes the recent value-improving initiatives announced by SK Chemicals (285130 KS Equity; 285130.KS)
  • However, these measures have had only a very limited impact on the share price discount, which still exceeds 80%.
  • Metrica calls for SK Chemicals to launch a formal strategic review within the next two months to consider further measures to address the discount, up to and including a sale or spin-off of SK Bioscience (302440 KS Equity; 302440.KS) shares.

Metrica Partners Pte. Ltd. (“Metrica”), a Singapore-based manager of various funds which hold shares in SK Chemicals, is today sending a letter to the CEO Mr. Jeon Kwang-Hyun and other board members.

The letter can be viewed at https://sk-shareholders.com/2021/12/14/second-letter-to-the-board/

It is a follow-up to Metrica’s first communication of 8 September, 2021.

Metrica continues to invite shareholders of SK Chemicals and other interested parties to subscribe to the distribution list at https://sk-shareholders.com/subscribe for further updates.
