News Sources not specified New plan
  • VUNO plans a rights issue equivalent to 45% of its existing shares, raising concerns about shareholder value.
  • The largest shareholder is expected to participate at about 7% of the allocated amount, potentially reducing its ownership to 11%.
  • The company is also seeking 31.4 billion won after holding 17.5 billion won in previously raised funds in financial products.

Shareholders are reacting coolly to VUNO’s planned rights issue, which would increase the South Korean medical artificial intelligence company’s shares by about 45%.

The main concern is potential dilution. VUNO’s largest shareholder plans to subscribe for only around 7% of the shares allocated to it. As a result, its ownership stake is expected to fall to 11%.

The company is seeking an additional 31.4 billion won, even though 17.5 billion won raised earlier remains unused and is being managed in financial products.
