Amounts of personal share acquisitions by Chairman Kwak
Hanmi Semiconductor Chairman Kwak Dong-shin announced an additional personal share acquisition of 700 million Won, bringing his total personal investment in company shares since 2023 to 72 billion Won (approximately $52.7 million USD). This latest acquisition, scheduled for October 7, will increase his stake to 33.63%. The company achieved a record 251.1 billion Won (approximately $184 million USD) in Q2 revenue, driven by its leading position in TC bonders for HBM production and recent expansion into 2.5D packaging equipment.
Hanmi Semiconductor is a crucial component in the global AI semiconductor supply chain, as its TC bonders are essential for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) production, where it holds a global market lead. Its strong relationship with SK hynix, a major HBM producer, and its expansion into 2.5D packaging equipment position it to capitalize on the growing demand for AI servers and advanced packaging solutions.
