SK Hynix has submitted an amended registration statement (Form F-1) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as of June 30, local time, completing the filing process for its planned Nasdaq listing.
According to financial news outlet Investing.com and other sources, the company’s board of directors resolved on June 24 to issue up to 17.79 million new shares, representing approximately 2.50% of its issued shares, in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADS). The offering size is valued at 29.47 billion dollars, or approximately 45.45 trillion won.
These details were already disclosed at the time the initial registration statement was filed 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 ADS to common shares—remain blank in the amended filing and have not yet been finalized.
The registration statement noted that the final offering price will be determined through consultations between SK Hynix and the underwriters, reflecting the previous trading price and market conditions.
A new detail confirmed in this amended filing is the addition of litigation risk under the Risk Factors section.
It newly specifies 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 plaintiffs suffered direct financial harm as rising memory prices led to increased costs for finished IT products such as MacBooks and iPads.
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 market (including HBM) with a 29.1% market share, according to IDC data.
