On 27 May, HYBE announced that it will sell its 9.4% in S.M.Entertainment (2.21 million shares) for about 243 billion won (US$145 million) to Tencent Music Entertainment.
HYBE's sale of its stake in SM Entertainment is expected to take place on Friday (30 May) after the market close through an after hours block deal trade.
The block deal sale of SM Entertainment by HYBE to Tencent is likely to have a negative impact on SM Entertainment's shares mainly due to large share price discount (15.3%).
