Hanjin sells

Container line Hanjin Shipping Holdings is upping its stake in operating unit Hanjin Shipping to comply with Korean law.


It is issuing KRW 744.7bn ($638m) of new shares to acquire up to 30m shares in Hanjin Shipping from other investors and lift its holding above the 20% minimum required.

Its share price fell 8% to KRW 16,100 on Friday morning as a result of the announcement, with investors concerned about stock dilution.

Hanjin Shipping posted a net loss of KRW 279bn in the fourth quarter as rates fell.

The container line split into a holding company and an operating company last year.
