SK Hynix has submitted an amended registration statement (Form F-1) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 30 (local time), completing the application process for its listing on the Nasdaq.
According to financial news outlets such as Investing.com, the company’s board of directors resolved on June 24 to issue up to 17.79 million new shares (approximately 2.50% of outstanding shares) in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADS), with an offering size of 29.47 billion U.S. dollars (approximately 45.45 trillion won).
These details were already disclosed at the time of the initial registration statement filing on June 24 and remain unchanged in the amended version.
According to the SEC’s electronic filing system, key offering terms—such as the offering price, the volume of ADS to be issued, and the conversion ratio of common shares to ADS—remain blank and have not yet been finalized in this amendment.
The registration statement notes that the final offering price will be determined through consultations between SK Hynix and the underwriters, reflecting the most recent trading prices and market conditions.
A new detail confirmed in this amendment is the inclusion of litigation risk under the Risk Factors section.
The filing newly mentions that on June 25, indirect purchasers of general-purpose DRAM filed an antitrust class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
The lawsuit, filed by 14 U.S. consumers and three small-to-medium PC manufacturers against Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron, argues that the rise in memory prices led to increased costs for finished IT products such as MacBooks and iPads, causing direct financial harm to consumers.
In the registration statement, SK Hynix reported that as of the first quarter of 2026, it held the number one position in the global HBM market with a 56.4% market share, and the number two position in the DRAM (including HBM) market with a 29.1% share, according to IDC data.
