The Financial Supervisory Service demanded a correction of Hanwha Aerospace's 3.6 trillion won paid-in capital increase plan.

The Financial Supervisory Service said on the 27th, "We carefully reviewed the securities report submitted by Hanwha Aerospace through face-to-face consultations in accordance with the intensive screening process," adding, "We judged that the information necessary for investors' rational investment decisions was insufficient in terms of the justification of the paid-in capital increase, shareholder communication procedures, and the purpose of using funds."

Hanwha Aerospace's previous plan to use funds includes 1.2 trillion won used to fund facilities such as building MCS smart factories and 2.4 trillion won in acquisition funds for other corporations. The securities industry said that Hanwha Aerospace has little justification for a paid-in capital increase as it is certain that it will continue its enormous operating profit. Hanwha Aerospace said, "We understand that it is a procedure that proceeds when a paid-in capital increase is made due to a request for supplementation of documents," adding, "We will sincerely respond to the request."

On the 10th, Hanwha Aerospace's 7.3% stake in Hanwha Impact Partners (5.0%) and Hanwha Energy (2.3%) in Hanwha Ocean was also controversial. Criticism has been raised that the two companies helped raise funds for succession due to their high stakes in the owner's family. The Financial Supervisory Service stressed, "We plan to closely examine whether the correction requirements are faithfully reflected when submitting the correction report in the future."

Shortly after the planned capital increase was announced, the Financial Supervisory Service announced a rare separate data and said, "We will actively support it if we plan to cope with changes in the internal and external environment and raise funds for the future growth of the company."
