Park Systems Raises $72 Million to Expand Semiconductor Metrology Capacity

Park Systems Corp. (KOSDAQ: 140860), a global leader in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanometrology, announced the successful completion of a KRW 100 billion (approximately USD 72 million) strategic financing through the issuance of perpetual bonds with warrants, with Kiwoom Securities and Dominus Investment Management each subscribing KRW 50 billion. The proceeds will support the company's production capacity expansion and broader strategic initiatives as demand for precision nanometrology continues to grow across the semiconductor and advanced materials industries.

The bonds were issued at par with 0% interest for the first three years, followed by a step-up interest structure. Warrants are exercisable from June 8, 2027, to May 8, 2056, at KRW 267,747 per share, and Park Systems retains a call option to repurchase up to 20% of the bonds at par between June 2027 and June 2029.

"This financing reflects the company's commitment to scaling its manufacturing infrastructure in alignment with increasing market demand," said Karen Cho, Senior Executive Vice President at Park Systems. "As semiconductor process nodes shrink and advanced packaging architectures grow more complex, the need for sub-nanometer surface metrology has become critical across front-end and back-end semiconductor manufacturing. We believe this investment will strengthen our ability to meet growing customer demand and better serve customers worldwide."

Park Systems serves leading global chipmakers and research institutions across more than 30 countries. Building on this momentum, Park Systems reported consolidated revenue of KRW 205.6 billion in 2025. With a diversified customer base that includes major semiconductor manufacturers and a growing installed base in academic and industrial research, the company is well-positioned to capitalise on the continued expansion of nanotechnology applications worldwide.
