Hyundai Cement, which has been under a debt workout program since 2010, posted operating profits over the past five years.

By acquiring Hyundai Cement, Hanil's market share will rise to 25 percent from the current 12 percent, according to Lee Kyung-ja, an analyst at Korea Investment & Securities.

Creditors are scheduled to end the debt workout program for Hyundai Cement by the end of next month. (Yonhap)
