초록

본 연구에서는 중소기업의 상장시장인 KOSDAQ에서 신규공모(initial public offering) 인수회사에게 부과하는 공모주 매각제한제도(underwriter lockup)와 공모주 상장초기 수익률의 관계를 분석하였다. 2008년부터 KOSDAQ에 상장된 공모주의 상장초기 수익률 평균은 감소하였으며, 일부 공모주 상장초기 수익률은 음이었다. 이런 환경에서 KOSDAQ는 매각제한제도를 실행하였는데, 매각제한제도란 신규공모 인수회사가 공모주를 발행가격으로 매입하고 상장부터 3개월간 보유하는 의무를 의미한다. 따라서 매각제한제도에서 인수회사는 공모주를 저가(underpricing)로 매입하고 고가(stabilization)로 매각하려는 의도를 가지게 될 것이므로, 매각제한제도에서 상장초기 수익률이 증가할 수가 있다. 본 연구에서는 2009년부터 KOSDAQ에 상장된 공모주에 관한 자료들을 수집하고, 매각제한제도에 의해서 상장초기 수익률을 증가시키는지를 혼합분포(mixture of distributions) 관점에서 검증하였다. 분석결과 매각제한제도가 적용되지 않는 신규공모보다는 매각제한제도가 적용되는 신규공모에서 공모주 상장초기수익률은 유의적으로 증가하였다. 그리고 이런 결과는 상장초기 수익률에 영향을 주는 요인들을 통제하더라도 유의적으로 존재하였다. 이것은 매각제한제도가 상장초기 수익률의 상승에 매우 유효한 제도라는 것을 의미한다.

This paper examines the effect of unique underwriter lockup on the initial returns of an initial public offering (IPO) in the Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (KOSDAQ). Underwriter lockup induces underwriters to underprice IPOs and stabilize aftermarket prices. The inducement is explored with respects to the mixtures of distributions of the initial returns consistent with underpricing and stabilization. Whether the inducement is meaningful when other factors are controlled is also explored. These explorations provide evidence that underwriter lockup leads to more positive average initial returns in the three aftermarket months.
