APPENDIX

'From Ground Up to Listing, Part 2' is a business novel that depicts AURION's 13-year journey as a startup, its final attempt at an IPO, and its continued growth after listing.
This book presents a concrete, practical strategy for an IPO, based on the story of Ryu Kang-jun and the IPO TF team, who painstakingly prepared for the preliminary listing review for one year and six months, overcame sophisticated sabotage from competitors, and gained investor trust to successfully enter the stock market.

Chapter 7, "The Heart of Numbers, the Journey to Listing," covers the full-scale preparations for listing, starting with selecting an underwriter and conducting a preliminary diagnosis, followed by transparently reorganizing the governance structure and accounting, and finally, after one year and six months of hard work, submitting a highly polished preliminary listing application.

Chapter 8, "On the Threshold of Normalcy," begins with the kickoff meeting at the KX Exchange, followed by seven requests for supplementation, a paper war, and a fatal crisis in the form of a technology theft lawsuit from rival company Neotech and a media offensive.
However, with digital forensic evidence and the whistleblower's confession, the company achieved a turnaround, successfully passing the on-site inspection and interview with the CEO, and finally receiving preliminary approval for listing.
Chapter 9, "The Heat of Public Offering, a Successful Listing," begins with an IR roadshow targeting global investors after the public offering band is finalized and the securities registration statement is filed.
Ryu Kang-jun's vision, Choi Kang-hyeok's financial strategy, and Lee A-reum's market communication all work in harmony to capture investors' hearts, and after a fierce demand forecast, the Hope IPO secures the top spot.
In the general investor subscription, it recorded an all-time high competition rate, creating the 'AURION Syndrome', and finally successfully entered the stock market by hitting the listing book on the KX Exchange.
In Chapter 10, "The Next Step," the company experiences an overhang issue due to initial investor selling immediately after listing, but achieves growth and profitability that surpasses expectations in 2028 thanks to strong business performance.
In 2029, when the global economic downturn caused stock prices to plummet, the company conducted a strategic stock buyback and took on a new challenge: developing CCUS technology, a fundamental solution to the carbon problem that goes beyond micro-climate control.
At Phuket Workcation 2030, we recharge with our employees, declare a new vision, and set sail for a greater future.
