Young Poong stock is tied to an MBK Partners option with a KRW 700,000.00 base price that rises 5.00 percent annually, according to Seoul Economic Daily on October 19, 2026. MBK said the call option cannot be exercised before its Korea Zinc investment is recovered, while Young Poong holds a corresponding put option.
Option terms carry two price steps
The arrangement gives the option a base price of KRW 700,000.00 per Korea Zinc share and adds KRW 35,000.00 annually, equivalent to 5.00 percent of the base price. After two years, the exercise price reaches KRW 770,000.00 per share.
Three dated company developments
On May 15, 2026, Young Poong reported Q1 2026 revenue of KRW 851.08 billion, according to Investing.com. On August 31, 2026, it reported Q2 2026 revenue of KRW 853.19 billion, up 42.20 percent year over year, according to ATS View. On October 19, 2026, MBK clarified that the option conditions had not been satisfied.
What does the option formula mean?
The formula changes the economic reference point over time. Edaily reported that the price would exceed KRW 1.00 million per share after a 10-year investment period, while dividends received before exercise would accrue to Young Poong.
Next reporting date
Investing.com lists November 18, 2026, as Young Poong's next results date. The Q2 comparison is important because revenue rose 42.20 percent year over year, but operating profit was KRW 1.50 billion, giving the quarter a margin of 0.20 percent, according to ATS View.
