Target

Lutronic develops, manufactures and sells aesthetic medical devices such as lasers for dermatology and plastic surgery. Listed on KOSDAQ in 2006, it has subsidiaries in the US, Germany, Japan and China, and overseas sales account for 89% of revenue.

Deal rationale

Hahn & Company said Lutronic had released proven, trend-leading products in skin and plastic surgery treatment for over 20 years, and cited growth in the global premium aesthetic device market, population aging and rising purchasing power among younger consumers. It said it would buy the 19.33% stake of largest shareholder CEO Hwang Hae-ryeong, then tender for the remaining shares to delist the company voluntarily and make it a wholly owned subsidiary. Hwang said the partnership would be an important turning point for Lutronic to become a global leader.
