[Infostock Daily= Reporter Park Sang-In] Roblox, a mobile game that is gaining huge popularity among American children and teenagers, is drawing attention as AhnLab's investment in Roblox has increased 10 times ahead of its listing on NASDAQ on the 10th.
Roblox is one of the representative metabus platforms. Metaverse is a combination of the three-dimensional virtual world of meta meaning virtual and Universe meaning world and universe. It is a trend that games become a community and platform, away from simply accessing and enjoying games.
Roblox is a platform where players create and participate in games on their own, and a single avatar representing "I" will participate in many games created. It also does economic activities such as buying and selling goods with Robux, a common currency. Roblox currently serves 200 countries around the world, including the United States.
According to the electronic disclosure system, AhnLab invested 1.14 billion won in a 5.98 percent stake in a combination called 'Altos Roblox SPV2' in 2018. The total size of the Altos Roblox SPV2 is estimated to be 19 billion U.S. dollars.
According to Roblox's report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, you can find the Altos Roblox SPV2 combination, which is 3,796,276 of Anthony P. Lee's 114,261,961 (23.9%).
Based on the data, Altos Roblox SPV2's overall size of 17 million dollars is divided into 3,796,276 shares, which is about 4.6 dollars per share.
According to foreign media, Altos Roblox SPV2 invested in Roblox in September 2018, which seems to have invested in Series F. The company's corporate value for Series F was calculated at $2.5 billion, and in January this year, Series H's corporate value increased about 10 times to $29.5 billion ($45 per share). It can be estimated that AhnLab is making at least 10 times more profit than its investment.
Meanwhile, Roblos has no competitive price because he is listed directly. According to the securities report, the proper stock price calculated through fair evaluation is 41.52 dollars per share. When listed on the stock market, a market creator receives a bid based on this price and decides the initial price.
