Aksu, advancing a paid-in capital increase of 600 billion KRW... Looking forward to R&D and new business expansion

Costadak-listed company Xcure has decided to proceed with a paid-in capital increase through a third-party allocation to raise approximately 60 billion KRW in operating funds. This decision is interpreted as the company’s measure to improve short-term liquidity during a period of business funding needs.

On January 6, 2026, Xcure announced plans to issue 5.021 million new shares at a price of 1,195 KRW per share, raising a total of 5.999995 billion KRW. The paid-in capital increase will be conducted through a third-party allocation targeting specific investors, with Ray Investment Portfolio designated as the underwriter. All newly issued shares will be common stock.

Paid-in capital increases via third-party allocation are typically used by companies to attract strategic investments or meet urgent funding needs. While they allow for relatively quick fundraising, they also raise concerns about dilution of existing shareholders’ equity. However, Xcure appears to be raising operating funds from external investors, indicating expectations for operational stability and business expansion.

Xcure is a technology company primarily focused on information security and related solutions. It is reportedly currently advancing business portfolio adjustments and new product development in response to market changes. The market is also paying attention to whether this financing will lead to increased R&D or investments in new projects.

Such paid-in capital increase movements may continue among other small and medium-sized tech stocks within Costadak in the future, becoming part of their capital operation strategies. Especially for companies facing uncertain operating environments, attracting external investors to enhance liquidity could become an attractive option.
