SK Hynix is expected to file documents with Korean financial regulators to advance a planned US ADR offering, the Korea Economic Daily reports. Earlier reports cited a potential $10 bln raise, but based on the company's post-rally market value industry estimates put the maximum at about 40 trillion won (~$26 bln); final size remains undecided.

Korean regulatory review could finish by July 3, potentially allowing ADR trading to begin as soon as next month.
