Notice of approval for listing of shares of a consolidated subsidiary in South Korea.
In the "Notice of Application for Listing of Shares of Consolidated Subsidiary in South Korea" dated 17 February 2022, W-SCOPE (the Company) reported that its consolidated subsidiary in South Korea, W-SCOPE CHUNGJU PLANT CO., LTD. (WCP), applied for the listing of its shares. The Company hereby announces that it has obtained approval from the Korea Exchange (KRX) for WCP's initial listing on the KOSDAQ market, as follows:
1. Overview and Background
WCP was established to manufacture, sell, and research and develop separator films for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, and is a particularly important manufacturing base for separator films for batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs) in the W-Scope Group. WCP aims to use the listing of its shares as an opportunity to increase its name recognition, secure talented human resources and achieve further growth in the separator business.
WCP has recently obtained approval for its initial listing on the KOSDAQ market of the Korea Exchange, following the prescribed procedures, including preliminary examination and approval.
The listing of WCP is based on the premise that WCP will remain an important consolidated subsidiary of the Company after the listing, and the Company believes that the listing will contribute to the further enhancement of the Group's corporate value.
2. Future Outlook.
The date of listing and other details are yet to be confirmed and will be announced as soon as they are finalised. WCP is already expected to list its shares during the current financial year and the impact on the Group's business performance will likely be negligible; however, should any matters arise that require disclosure, depending on the progress of the listing, these will be promptly announced.

W-Scope Corp is a Japan-based company mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of separators for lithium-ion secondary batteries. Microporous membranes made of polyolefin are generally used for the separators of main products, and their role is to separate the positive and negative electrode materials while ensuring lithiumion conductivity between the positive and negative electrodes. In addition, when the battery becomes abnormally hot and reaches a high temperature, the safety mechanism (shutdown property) in which the polyolefin melts and closes the pores plays an important role in stopping the movement of lithium ions and safely stopping the battery's function, responsible for battery safety.
