[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] In the stock market on the 8th, Mirae Asset Life Insurance posted a new 52-week high due to reports of public purchase by group affiliates. Mirae Asset Life closed at 3,480 won, up 6.42% from the previous trading day.

At the beginning of the opening, stock prices surged more than 10% to KRW 4,200, a 52-week high, with a sudden surge in buying and the activation of static volatility mitigation (VI) devices.

This is because a media outlet reported that Mirae Asset Group is reportedly considering an open purchase of Mirae Asset Life Insurance for the second half of this year.

Since then, when the group's explanation was delivered, VI has been activated again and stock prices have returned their gains.

Under the terms of the tender offer in the securities market, major shareholders must hold more than 95 percent of the shares.

According to Mirae Asset Life Insurance's equity structure, Mirae Asset affiliates hold a total of 49.5% of their life shares as of the end of the first quarter. Mirae Asset Securities, the largest shareholder, has 22.01%, Mirae Asset Capital 15.59%, Mirae Asset Asset Management 9.19%, and Mirae Asset Consulting 0.73%.

Mirae Asset Consulting bought a 0.98% stake in Mirae Asset Life Insurance in April.
