Target

Doosan E&C is a Doosan Group general contractor with the 'We've' and 'Zenith' apartment brands, with a reported order backlog of KRW 7.1tn as of Q3 2021.

Deal rationale

A Doosan Heavy official said that while no cash comes in immediately, the structure is a strategic deal to realize a sale at better value later; Bizwatch described it as effectively completing the restructuring promised to creditors. Through a third-party capital increase (182.6m new shares at KRW 1,369, KRW 258bn) The Zenith Holdings took 54%, with Doosan Heavy keeping 46% and a right of first refusal. Per Money S, SPC investors were Doosan affiliate DBC (KRW 120bn), Q Capital (90bn), Skylake (30bn) and Eugene-Shinyoung PE (18bn); Q Capital said it would rebuild the business by expanding We've/Zenith orders.
