The issuance scale is approximately 2.4% of total shares, with expected fundraising of 10 trillion to 15 trillion Korean won. The raised funds will be primarily used to expand high bandwidth memory (HBM) production capacity and advance the construction of the Icheon semiconductor cluster, to consolidate its leading position in the global AI semiconductor market. SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won previously announced the ADR listing plan at the NVIDIA GTC 2026 developer conference.

Additionally, SK Hynix's chief executive officer may announce plans to stabilize DRAM chip prices, and the group is also exploring opportunities in the alternative energy sector.
