LOTTE Chemical is set to improve its financial soundness by procuring approximately 1.4 trillion KRW using its overseas subsidiaries' shares as underlying assets.

The Company plans to secure about 660 billion KRW by the end of this year through a capital increase using a 40% stake in LCLA (LOTTE Chemical Louisiana LLC), its ethylene glycol production subsidiary in the United States. This capital will be directed towards reducing debt.

Additionally, LOTTE Chemical plans to procure around 700 billion KRW next year using its shares in LCI (PT LOTTE Chemical Indonesia), which was established in 2016 to construct a petrochemical plant with an annual ethylene production capacity of 1 million tons. This plant is expected to commence commercial production next year.

With this equity sale, LOTTE Chemical’s LC USA's stake in LCLA will be adjusted from 100% to around 60%.

LOTTE Chemical’s Basic Chemicals Division aims to reinforce its role as a cash cow through Asset Light and maximization of operation efficiencies, targeting to reduce its share in the portfolio to below 30% by 2030.
