Hoban's rise gives Delta more leverage in Hanjin KAL power battle

Hoban Group’s rise as Hanjin KAL’s largest shareholder is giving Delta Air Lines greater leverage in the power struggle over Korean Air’s holding company as Chairman Cho Won-tae seeks to retain control. Hoban and its affiliates held a 20.69 percent stake in Hanjin KAL as of Wednesday, narrowly surpassing Cho and related parties at 20.58 percent. Cho has agreed to purchase another 325,000 shares for 37.05 billion won ($27 million), which could lift his side’s stake to 21.06 percent and restore its position as the largest shareholder. The increasingly close shareholding structure, however, has heightened the importance of major shareholders outside the two rival camps. Delta owns 14.9 percent of Hanjin KAL, while the state-run Korea Development Bank (KDB) holds 10.58 percent. Together with Cho’s stake, the three parties account for about 46 percent of Hanjin KAL. Excluding KDB from consideration for any future Korean Air deal due to its unique status as a public financial institution, Delta is emerging as an unexpected beneficiary of the renewed power struggle between Cho and Ho

Battery materials firms ramp up LFP capacity amid rising demand

Battery materials makers are accelerating their expansion into lithium iron phosphate (LFP) materials, as growing demand for energy storage systems (ESS) and non-Chinese supply chains in North America fuels competition to secure production capacity. LFP cathode supply commitments between domestic battery cell makers and materials suppliers are estimated to exceed 210,000 metric tons, according to industry estimates, prompting manufacturers — POSCO Future M, L&F and EcoPro BM — to step up investments. POSCO Future M is expanding its LFP capacity by converting part of its existing high-nickel cathode production lines at its Pohang plant. The company plans to increase annual capacity from about 20,000 tons to as much as 105,000 tons by the end of next year. It also plans to utilize up to 50,000 tons of capacity from CNP New Material Technology, a joint venture with CNGR and Fino. Following a 1.07 trillion won ($784.5 million) LFP cathode material supply deal with SK On in September, POSCO Future M signed another long-term supply contract worth about 6 trillion won with Samsung SDI last
