When the refinancing took place in 2005, Hynix had returned to profit and had a credit rating of BBB+ according to the Korea Investors Service Inc. The refinancing of its debt on commercial terms by Hynix effectively stopped the subsidy from recurring, thus the benefit ceased to exist.
Aastal 2005, kui refinantseerimine aset leidis, oli Hynix taas kasumisse jõudnud ning saanud Korea Investors Service Inc.-lt krediidireitinguks BBB+. Oma võla refinantseerimisega turutingimustel peatas Hynix subsiidiumi kordumise ning seega lõppes ka kasu saamine.
