According to MP Doctor on the 1st, SJG SEJONG CO.,LTD. is trading at 6,350 won as of 9:17 a.m., up 5.83% from the previous trading day.
Earlier today, the company issued a press release announcing that it will cancel all 768,662 of its treasury shares on the 15th. Based on the closing price of 6,000 won on June 30, this amounts to approximately 4.6 billion won.
