SK Hynix eyes 0.5% underwriting fee for upcoming Nasdaq listing

A 0.5% fee payout is under consideration by SK Hynix for banks managing its U.S. American Depositary Receipt offering. The South Korean semiconductor giant is looking to issue up to 2.5% of its outstanding shares to capitalize on the surging global investor demand for artificial intelligence hardware.

The company, which ranks as the world’s second-largest memory chipmaker, may supplement the base underwriting fee with additional discretionary incentives. While the final scope of the offering remains fluid, the firm is moving quickly toward a market debut. Book building is scheduled to commence on July 6, with the final offer price set for July 9 ahead of a Nasdaq listing the following day.

This capital raise is part of a broader strategy to secure up to $29.4 billion. As a key supplier to Nvidia, the company aims to leverage its position in the AI supply chain to attract significant liquidity. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Bank of America are leading the transaction, though representatives from these institutions and SK Hynix have yet to comment on the fee structure.
