SEOUL, June 16 : South Korean defence firm Hanwha Aerospace said on Tuesday it will buy 500 billion won ($331.41 million) worth of shares in Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI).
This was in addition to Hanwha Aerospace deciding to acquire 499.9 billion won worth of KAI shares on Tuesday and affiliate Hanwha Systems buying 125 billion won worth of shares in KAI, the company said in a statement.
