The new shares will be traded on the main stock market starting Nov. 19.
NH Investment & Securities Co., Mirae Asset Securities Co., and Korea Investment & Securities Co. were the co-managers for the share sale.
The shipbuilder had been suffering an accumulated deficit of over 2 trillion won.
In July, the company reduced the face value of its ordinary shares and preferred shares from 5,000 won to 1,000 won to reduce its capital stock from 3.15 trillion won to 630 billion won.
The capital surplus from the capital reduction will be used to repay the shipbuilder's debts, the company said.
