Hanjin Shipping becomes a holding company

Hanjin is to split into Hanjin Shipping Holdings, which will focus on managing the subsidiaries, and Hanjin Shipping, which will maintain full control of the existing shipping business.

While Hanjin's container and bulk shipping business continues to show growth, the company understands the need to implement an advanced corporate governance system that will enable the company to cope with the rapidly changing business environment and secure its future-oriented corporate structure for sustainable growth.

The transformation into a holding company will provide Hanjin Shipping with the tools necessary to ensure an independent business operation and corporate transparency.

The transformation into a holding company is also expected to allow its subsidiaries to focus on the core business through an independent/optimised strategy and distribution of its business resources.

Furthermore, the separation of the investment and corporate governance function from the main shipping business is expected to strengthen risk management capacity.

Shares in Hanjin Shipping Holdings and Hanjin Shipping will be distributed to shareholders according to the ratio of net asset of each company, i.e. 0.1616362 share of Hanjin Shipping Holdings and 0.8383638 share of new Hanjin Shipping for each share of the former Hanjin Shipping.
