AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS

Interpretation and the following points to verify

This announcement signals that LS ELECTRIC has been recognized as a new vendor capable of supplying power equipment and power distribution systems for large-scale AI data centers. However, since the supply region is the United States and the contracting party is a U.S. subsidiary, this does not imply the securing of power for domestic data center sites, grid connection with KEPCO, domestic delivery records, or currently available production capacity. Details regarding the client, physical location, and quantities and delivery schedules for specific equipment are not disclosed; therefore, separate verification is required prior to placing an order.
