Exchange expects around 50 Kosdaq firms to be delisted this year for falling short of market cap

The Korea Exchange expects around 50 Kosdaq-listed companies could be delisted this year for failing to meet market-capitalisation requirements, as delisting standards are tightened on the market\'s 30th anniversary. The exchange has raised minimum market-cap and share-price thresholds for maintaining listings, and also strengthened rules for penny stocks. It said delisting procedures will proceed immediately when conditions are met, without an objection process.
