“Yeouido KRX Korea Exchange”
The Korea Exchange is implementing tailored review standards to support the listing of key technology industries such as artificial intelligence and space on the KOSDAQ.
The Korea Exchange has completed an amendment to the listing regulations to establish customized technology review standards that reflect the characteristics of each industry.
The amendment aims to facilitate the quick listing of companies with nationally important core technologies. For the AI industry, different review standards have been set for each part of the value chain.
For the AI semiconductor design and production sector, the review focuses on product reliability, stability, and cost competitiveness, while for AI model and app development, the focus is on the excellence of data training and inference algorithms.
Additionally, the exchange has strengthened the requirements for maintaining a KOSDAQ listing.
Starting this month, the criteria for delisting based on market capitalization for KOSDAQ-listed companies will be raised from the existing 4 billion won to 15 billion won.
If the market capitalization remains below 15 billion won for 30 consecutive trading days, the company will be designated as a management stock, and if it fails to meet the market capitalization criteria within a certain period thereafter, it will be delisted.
