As financial institutions successively acquire Dunamu shares, it is expected to positively impact the merger and acquisition (M&A) with Naver Financial, according to ZDNet Korea. Hanwha Investment & Securities and Hana Bank decided to acquire 1,361,050 shares (3.90%) and 2,284,000 shares (6.55%) respectively from Kakao Investment. As a result, Kakao Investment's stake, which had the potential to oppose the merger, was reduced from 10.58% at the end of last year to 0.13%. With financial companies possessing regulatory response capabilities participating as major shareholders, a favorable environment for the merger is expected to be created, and the absence of sanctions from regulatory authorities despite these movements is also positively evaluated.
