**HITE HOLDINGS RALLIES ON JINRO STAKE SALE**

Hite Holdings rallied on Friday after the company said in a filing to the Korea Exchange late on Thursday it was selling a stake worth 289.4 billion won ($229.4 million) in Jinro Ltd.

Hite Holdings is a majority stake holder in Jinro, controlling 52.1 percent of the spirits maker after the stake sale.

"Stake sale will strengthen Hite Holdings' financial condition and this will make re-listing of Jinro easier," said Lee Yo-yong, an analyst at KB Investment&Securities.

Jinro is looking to make a public offering on the domestic bourse by end-September at the earliest, according to media reports.

Lee said improvements in Hite Holdings' financial health will help Jinro get better pricing for its listing.
