PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To prospectus dated July 10, 2009)
 
(KB FINANCIAL GROUP INC LOGO)
KB Financial Group Inc.
 
Rights Offering for 30,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
Directly or in the Form of American Depositary Shares
 
We are offering an aggregate of 30,000,000 new shares of our common stock, par value W5,000 per share, either directly or in the form of American depositary shares, or ADSs, each representing one share of our common stock. As required under Korean law, 6,000,000, or 20%, of the new shares of common stock were initially offered to members of our employee stock ownership association, all of which have been subscribed by such members. The remaining 24,000,000, or 80%, of the new shares of common stock are being offered by way of a rights offering, in which we are distributing (i) to holders of our ADSs, transferable rights to subscribe for new ADSs at the ADS subscription price described below, which we refer to as ADS rights, and (ii) to holders of our common stock, transferable rights to subscribe for new shares of our common stock at the share subscription price described below, which we refer to as share rights. The ADS rights and share rights are referred to collectively as the rights.
 
ADS Rights
 
If you own ADSs, you will receive 0.0776839 ADS right for every ADS you owned on July 27, 2009. Fractional ADS rights will not be distributed to you. One ADS right allows you to subscribe for one new ADS. If you decide to exercise ADS rights and subscribe for new ADSs, you must deposit US$33.56 per new ADS subscribed, which represents 110% of the indicative ADS subscription price of US$30.51 per new ADS, to account for possible exchange rate fluctuations and any currency conversion expenses. The indicative ADS subscription price is the U.S. dollar equivalent of the maximum share subscription price of W37,250 per share, based on the exchange rate of W1,220.9 per U.S. dollar. The final ADS subscription price will be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the final share subscription price determined as described below, based on the exchange rate on or about August 25, 2009 at which we can convert U.S. dollar amounts to Won amounts, plus currency conversion expenses. Any excess amount deposited will be refunded to the exercising holders of ADS rights, while any shortfall in the amount deposited must be paid by the exercising holders of ADS rights. Holders of ADS rights may exercise their ADS rights from 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on August 7, 2009 to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 21, 2009. ADS rights that are not exercised by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 21, 2009 will lapse without compensation.
 
The ADS rights will be admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KB RT.” Trading in the ADS rights on the New York Stock Exchange is expected to commence on August 10, 2009 and continue until August 17, 2009.
 
Share Rights
 
If you own shares of common stock, you will receive 0.0776839 share right for every share you owned on July 27, 2009. Fractional share rights will not be distributed to you. One share right allows you to subscribe for one new share of common stock. The maximum share subscription price is W37,250 per share. The final share subscription price per share will be determined on August 21, 2009 and will be the lower of (i) the maximum share subscription price and (ii) a reference price set at a discount rate of 25% to the relevant market price of our common stock. The relevant market price of our common stock will be the lower of (i) the arithmetic average of (x) the volume-weighted average closing price for the one-week period immediately preceding, and inclusive of, August 21, 2009, and (y) the closing price on August 21, 2009, and (ii) the closing price on August 21, 2009, in each case on the KRX KOSPI Market. Holders of share rights may exercise their share rights from 9:00 a.m. (Seoul time) on August 26, 2009 to 4:00 p.m. (Seoul time) on August 27, 2009. Share rights that are not exercised by 4:00 p.m. (Seoul time) on August 27, 2009 will lapse without compensation.
 
The share rights have been approved for listing on the KRX KOSPI Market under the code “J1055602W.” Trading in the share rights on the KRX KOSPI Market is expected to commence on August 10, 2009 and continue until August 17, 2009.
 
 
Our common stock is listed on the KRX KOSPI Market under the code “A105560.” On August 6, 2009, the closing price of our common stock on the KRX KOSPI Market was W55,200 per share. Our ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KB.” On August 6, 2009, the closing price of our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange was US$44.59 per ADS.
 
We expect the new shares of common stock to be issued on or about September 2, 2009 and delivered on or about September 7, 2009. We expect the new ADSs to be issued and delivered on or about September 8, 2009. Listing and trading in the new shares of common stock on the KRX KOSPI Market and in the new ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange are expected to commence on or about September 4, 2009 and September 8, 2009, respectively.
 
 
Investing in our ADSs, common stock, ADS rights or share rights involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-28 of this prospectus supplement and page 5 of the accompanying prospectus.

Crediting of share rights or ADS rights to any account, the receipt of allotment of any new shares of common stock or new ADSs or of certificates evidencing such securities or the receipt of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or the Korean prospectus or any other documents will not constitute an offer or sale in those jurisdictions in which it will be illegal to make such offer or sale, or where such offer or sale will trigger any registration, filing or approval requirement or otherwise violate the securities laws of such jurisdictions or be prohibited. We reserve absolute discretion in determining whether any holder of our ADSs or common stock located or resident outside Korea and the United States may participate in this offering.
 
Each person who receives a copy of this prospectus supplement or who exercises, accepts, subscribes for or purchases any of the securities described in this prospectus supplement must do so in accordance with the restrictions set forth below.
 
Notice to Residents of Australia
 
This document has not been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) and does not constitute a prospectus or other disclosure document under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Australian Corporations Act”) and does not purport to include the information required of a disclosure document under the Australian Corporations Act. The offer of any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this document is therefore directed only to persons to whom such an offer may be made in Australia without lodging a disclosure document with ASIC. Consequently, this offering is directed only to, and the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs will only be issued to, investors who fall within one of the categories set out in Section 708(8) or 708(11) of the Australian Corporations Act (“Sophisticated and Professional Investors”) and who are “wholesale clients” which has the meaning given by subsection 761G(4) of the Australian Corporations Act.
 
As no formal disclosure document will be lodged with ASIC, if a person to whom the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs are issued (an “Investor”) on-sells the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs within 12 months of their issue, such Investor will be required to lodge a prospectus with ASIC unless either:
 
(1) the sale is to a Sophisticated and Professional Investor; or
 
(2) the sale offer is received outside of Australia (for example, by trading the rights on the New York Stock Exchange or the KRX KOSPI Market).
 
Each Investor acknowledges the above and, by applying for the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs, gives an undertaking not to sell, in any circumstances other than those described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above, for 12 months after the date of issue.
 
We are not licensed in Australia to provide financial product advice in relation to the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs and recommend that you read this document before making a decision to acquire any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs. Nothing in this document takes into account the investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any individual Investor.

The rights and any common shares or ADSs issued upon exercise of the rights will be subject to a “hold period” under Canadian securities laws and will remain subject to restrictions on resale unless we become a reporting issuer in Canada. Accordingly, any resale of the rights or any common shares or ADSs issued upon exercise of the rights by persons in Canada must be made: (i) through an appropriately registered dealer or in accordance with an exemption from the registered dealer requirements of applicable provincial securities laws; and (ii) in accordance with, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of those laws. These Canadian resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales made outside of Canada. Persons in Canada are advised to seek Canadian legal advice prior to any resale of rights or new shares of common stock or new ADSs obtained upon exercise of the rights.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs in any Member State of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs. Accordingly any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither we nor any of the underwriters have authorized, nor do we or any of them authorize, the making of any offer of the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs in circumstances in which an obligation arises for us or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.
 
In relation to each Relevant Member State, with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”), an offer to the public of any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may not be made in that Relevant Member State, except that an offer to the public in that Relevant Member State of any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs may be made at any time with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive, if they have been implemented in that Relevant Member State:
 
(a) to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;
 
(b) to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than €43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more than €50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts;

(c) to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of us and the underwriters for any such offer; or
 
(d) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
 
provided that no such offer of the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs shall require us or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
 
This EEA selling restriction is in addition to any other selling restrictions set out in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
 
Each person in a Relevant Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs under, the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to with us and each underwriter that:
 
(a) it is a qualified investor within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive; and
 
(b) in the case of any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, (i) the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs acquired by it in this offering have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, as that term is defined in the Prospectus Directive, or in circumstances in which the prior consent of us and the underwriters has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where the rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.
 
For the purposes of this section, the expression an “offer to the public” or an “offer” in relation to any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase any rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State.

New shares of common stock and ADSs being offered We are offering an aggregate of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock, par value W5,000 per share, either directly or in the form of ADSs.
 
As of July 27, 2009, we had 356,351,693 shares of common stock issued and 308,944,022 shares of common stock outstanding. This offering will result in the issuance of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock, or approximately 8.4% of the total common stock issued as of July 27, 2009. Following this offering, the number of shares of common stock issued will increase to 386,351,693 and the number of shares of common stock outstanding will increase to 338,944,022.
 
Allocation of rights As required under Korean law, 6,000,000, or 20%, of the new shares of common stock were initially offered to members of our employee stock ownership association, all of which have been subscribed by such members. The remaining 24,000,000, or 80%, of the new shares of common stock are being offered by way of a rights offering to holders of our common stock and ADSs. We are distributing (i) to holders of our ADSs, transferable rights to subscribe for new ADSs at the ADS subscription price described below and (ii) to holders of our common stock, transferable rights to subscribe for new shares of our common stock at the share subscription price described below. No rights will be issued with respect to 47,407,671 shares of our common stock held by Kookmin Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
Reasons for this offering and use of proceeds Assuming a share subscription price of W37,250 per share, which represents the maximum share subscription price per share, we estimate that the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock (directly or in the form of ADSs) by us in this offering will be approximately W1,105.2 billion (net of underwriting, management and selling fees and other offering expenses). We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund potential acquisitions in the banking, securities and/or insurance industries, and to strengthen our capital base. We currently do not have any specific plans for such acquisitions. See “Reasons for This Offering and Use of Proceeds.”
 
Risk factors Investing in our ADSs, common stock, ADS rights or share rights involves risks. See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus.
 
Dilution If you do not exercise your ADS rights or share rights, as applicable, your percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. See “Dilution.”
 
Underwriting The underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to procure subscribers for, or failing which, to subscribe for, all new shares of

Table of Contents

common stock (including in the form of ADSs) that have not been subscribed for by holders of rights. We have agreed to pay the joint lead managers and underwriters underwriting, management and selling fees equal to 0.6% of the final share subscription price multiplied by the total number of new shares of common stock (including in the form of ADSs) issued in this offering and not otherwise excluded as described in “Plan of Distribution.” These underwriting arrangements are subject to customary conditions.
 
Standby purchase commitment Certain of the underwriters have entered into a separate standby purchase agreement with ING Bank N.V., which held approximately 5.05% of our total issued shares of common stock as of July 27, 2009, pursuant to which it has agreed to purchase at the final share subscription price up to 1,100,000 new shares of our common stock that have not been subscribed for by holders of rights, representing approximately 3.7% of the total number of new shares of our common stock being offered for subscription in this offering. Certain of the underwriters have entered into separate agreements with third parties (in addition to ING Bank N.V.) to act as standby purchasers, pursuant to which such standby purchasers have agreed to purchase a portion of the new shares of our common stock underwritten by such underwriters. Such underwriters have agreed to pay a fee to the standby purchasers for each such standby purchase commitment, including to ING Bank N.V. See “Plan of Distribution — Standby Purchase Commitment.”
 
Lock-up We have agreed that we will not, and will procure that Kookmin Bank will not, during the period beginning from the date of the underwriting agreement and continuing to and including the date 180 days after our receipt of the subscription monies for the new shares of common stock, without the prior written consent of the underwriters (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or dispose of any shares of our common stock or any substantially similar securities, subject to certain exceptions as described in “Plan of Distribution.”
 
Offering to Holders of ADSs

Final ADS subscription price The final ADS subscription price will be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the final share subscription price determined as described below under “— Offering to Holders of Common Stock — Final Share Subscription Price,” based on the exchange rate on or about August 25, 2009 at which we can convert U.S. dollar amounts to Won amounts, plus currency conversion expenses. Any excess of the ADS deposit amount over the final ADS subscription price for the new ADSs being subscribed will be refunded to the exercising holders of ADS rights, while any shortfall in the ADS deposit amount over the final ADS subscription price for the new ADSs being subscribed must be paid by the exercising holders of ADS rights.
 
ADS subscription procedure Each holder of ADS rights may exercise all or only a portion of its ADS rights. The exercise of ADS rights is irrevocable. Subscriptions for new ADSs must be received by the ADS rights agent identified below prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 21, 2009.
 
A holder who holds ADS rights through a financial intermediary and who wishes to exercise its ADS rights should consult with the financial intermediary as to the manner, timing and form of exercise documentation, method of payment of the ADS deposit amount and other related matters required to effect such exercise. The financial intermediary through whom the subscription is made may require any person exercising ADS rights to pay or block the ADS deposit amount for the new ADSs being subscribed in a deposit account as a condition to accepting the relevant subscription. You are urged to consult your financial intermediary without delay in case your financial intermediary is unable to act immediately.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Summary Financial Information under U.S. GAAP
 
The summary consolidated financial data set forth below as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. Our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been audited by independent registered public accounting firm Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 have been audited by independent registered public accounting firm Deloitte Anjin LLC.
 
We were established on September 29, 2008 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, whereby holders of the common stock of Kookmin Bank and certain of its subsidiaries transferred all of their shares to us, a new financial holding company, and in return received shares of our common stock. See “Item 4A. History and Development of the Company — The Establishment of KB Financial Group” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F. The stock transfer was accounted for under U.S. GAAP as a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included in our latest annual report on Form 20-F are, as of dates and for periods prior to the date of the stock transfer, for Kookmin Bank and its subsidiaries, and as of dates and for periods from and after the date of the stock transfer, for us and our subsidiaries, including Kookmin Bank. For further information regarding the accounting treatment of the stock transfer, see Note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our latest annual report on Form 20-F.
 
You should read the following data together with the more detailed information contained in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” of our latest annual report on Form 20-F and our consolidated financial statements included in such annual report.

(2) Diluted earnings per share gives effect to the potential dilution that could occur if convertible securities, options or other contracts to issue common stock were converted into or exercised for common stock for the relevant periods. Effective from 2003, we had one category of potentially dilutive common shares, which was shares issuable on exercise of stock options granted to directors, executive officers and employees. Effective from August 2005, we changed the settlement method for such stock options to a cash settlement method (excluding certain outstanding stock options which were exercised in full in 2006), and accordingly there were no potentially dilutive common shares in 2007 and 2008.
 
(3) U.S. GAAP requires that dividends be recorded in the period in which they are declared rather than the period to which they relate unless these are the same.

Summary Consolidated Financial Information under Korean GAAP
 
The summary consolidated financial data set forth below as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Korea, or Korean GAAP. Such financial statements are prepared on a different basis from, and are not directly comparable with, our consolidated financial statements included in our latest annual report on Form 20-F, which are prepared under U.S. GAAP. For a description of significant differences between Korean GAAP and U.S. GAAP, see “Item 5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Reconciliation with Korean GAAP” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F.
 
We were established on September 29, 2008 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, whereby holders of the common stock of Kookmin Bank and certain of its subsidiaries transferred all of their shares to us, a new financial holding company, and in return received shares of our common stock. See “Item 4A. History and Development of the Company — The Establishment of KB Financial Group” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F. Accordingly, the summary consolidated financial data set forth below are, as of dates and for periods prior to the date of the stock transfer, for Kookmin Bank and its subsidiaries, and as of dates and for periods from and after the date of the stock transfer, for us and our subsidiaries, including Kookmin Bank.
 
Under Korean GAAP, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of fully- or majority-owned subsidiaries and substantially controlled affiliates that have assets in excess of W10 billion. Substantial control is deemed to exist when the investor is the largest stockholder and owns more than 30% of the investee’s voting shares. In addition, under Korean GAAP, financial statements of our trust accounts on which we guarantee a fixed rate of return and/or the repayment of principal are consolidated, whereby assets and liabilities of third parties held by such trusts are reflected as part of our consolidated assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses generated from such third-party assets are reflected in our consolidated statement of income. Activities between trusts and us are eliminated in consolidation.
 
You should read the following data together with our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and for the period from September 29, 2008 to December 31, 2008 prepared under Korean GAAP, which are incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus. Historical results do not necessarily predict future results.

Summary Non-consolidated Financial Information under Korean GAAP
 
The summary non-consolidated financial data set forth below as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (in the case of financial data for Kookmin Bank) and June 30, 2009 have been derived from our and Kookmin Bank’s respective unaudited non-consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP. Such financial statements are prepared on a different basis from, and are not directly comparable with, our consolidated financial statements included in our latest annual report on Form 20-F, which are prepared under U.S. GAAP. In particular, had such financial statements been prepared under U.S. GAAP, they would have been required to be prepared on a consolidated basis. Under U.S. GAAP, the primary financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis. Non-consolidated financial information for the parent company and combined financial statements may be presented as supplementary information. Under Korean GAAP, the

primary financial statements are prepared on a non-consolidated basis (i.e. stand-alone basis), where the subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. For a description of other significant differences between Korean GAAP and U.S. GAAP, see “Item 5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Reconciliation with Korean GAAP” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F.
 
You should read the following data together with our and Kookmin Bank’s respective unaudited non-consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (in the case of financial statements for Kookmin Bank) and June 30, 2009 prepared under Korean GAAP, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. Because we were established on September 29, 2008, we do not have non-consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Historical results do not necessarily predict future results.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in the rights, the new ADSs or the new shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before you decide to exercise any rights and subscribe for new ADSs or new shares of common stock. If any of the risks described in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer. In any such case, the market price of the rights, the new ADSs and the new shares of common stock could decline, and you might lose all or part of the money you paid to purchase or subscribe for such securities.
 
Risks Relating to Our Business and Our Common Stock and ADSs
 
An investment in our securities involves risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth under “Item 3D. Risk Factors” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F.
 
Risks Relating to This Offering
 
This offering will dilute your investment and relative ownership interest in us.
 
As required under Korean law, 6,000,000, or 20%, of the new shares of common stock were offered to and subscribed by members of our employee stock ownership association, in addition to the share rights allocated to them pro rata based on their shareholdings. As a result, your relative ownership interest in us will be diluted after this offering even if you exercise all the ADS rights or share rights allocated to you in this offering. If you choose to sell or not to exercise any such rights, your relative ownership interest in us will be further diluted. See “Dilution.” If you elect to sell any of the rights allocated to you, the consideration you receive for them may not be sufficient to compensate you fully for the dilution of your percentage ownership of our share capital that results from this offering.
 
The market prices of our ADSs or common stock may decline below the subscription price of the new ADSs or the new shares of common stock.
 
Once you exercise any of the ADS rights or share rights allocated to you in this offering, you may not revoke such exercise. Although the final share subscription price for the new shares of common stock, as well as the final subscription price for the new ADSs, will be set at a discount to the market price per share of our common stock prevailing at the time the final share subscription price is determined on August 21, 2009, the market prices of the ADSs and common stock may decline below the final subscription prices prior to the issuance of the new ADSs and the new shares of common stock as a result of, among other things, changes in our financial condition, operating performance or prospects, the subscription rate and the discount applied in setting the final subscription price in this offering, the number of new ADSs and new shares of common stock to be issued in this offering, the general economic environment in Korea and elsewhere and general fluctuations in the trading price of securities on the KRX KOSPI Market or the New York Stock Exchange. The subscription prices do not bear a direct relationship to the book value of our assets, operations, cash flows, earnings or financial condition and you should not consider the subscription prices to be any indication of our underlying value. If you exercise any rights and the market price of our ADSs or common stock falls below the applicable subscription price on the date the new ADSs or new shares of common stock are issued to you, then you will have purchased those ADSs or shares at prices higher than the market price and will suffer an immediate unrealized loss. Any decrease in market prices may continue after the completion of this offering. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that, following the exercise of rights, you will be able to sell your new ADSs or new shares of common stock at a price equal to or greater than the applicable subscription price.
 
We or our major stockholders may offer additional ADSs or shares of common stock in the future, and these and other sales may adversely affect the market price of the ADSs and common stock and may dilute your investment and relative ownership in us.
 
We have no current plans for a subsequent offering of our ADSs, common stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such securities. However, it is possible that we may decide to offer or sell such securities in the


S-28


Table of Contents

future. In particular, as of the record date on July 27, 2009, Kookmin Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary, owned 47,407,671 shares of our common stock, or approximately 13.3% of our total issued common stock. While no rights will be issued in this offering with respect to such shares, we are required under applicable Korean law to dispose of such shares by September 2011. Accordingly, we may decide to offer and sell such shares, in one or more transactions, at any time prior to September 2011. We have agreed with the underwriters for this offering that, subject to certain exceptions, we will not, and will procure that Kookmin Bank will not, during the period beginning from the date of the underwriting agreement and continuing to and including the date 180 days after our receipt of the subscription monies for the new shares of common stock, without the prior written consent of the underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or dispose of any shares of our common stock or any substantially similar securities. However, there is no guarantee that the underwriters will not provide their consent with respect to any such transaction, which may not be unreasonably withheld by the underwriters under the terms of the underwriting agreement. In addition, our major stockholders, the Korean National Pension Service and ING Bank N.V., held approximately 5.52% and 5.05%, respectively, of our total issued common stock as of the share record date, and the shares held by them and any new shares that may be acquired by them in this offering are not subject to any restrictions on sale or disposal under the underwriting agreement.
 
An additional offering by us of ADS or common stock or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such securities, significant sales of our common stock by a major stockholder, or the public perception that an offering or sales may occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our ADSs and common stock. Furthermore, any offering by us in the future of any such securities could also have a dilutive impact on your investment in us and, unlike a rights offering, may not offer you the ability to maintain your relative ownership interest in us.
 
An active trading market may not develop for the rights on the New York Stock Exchange or the KRX KOSPI Market and, even if a market does develop, the rights may be subject to greater price volatility than our ADSs or common stock.
 
A trading period has been set for ADS rights from August 10, 2009 to August 17, 2009 on the New York Stock Exchange and for share rights from August 10, 2009 to August 17, 2009 on the KRX KOSPI Market. We cannot assure you that an active trading market in the ADS rights on the New York Stock Exchange, or in the share rights on the KRX KOSPI Market, will develop during the applicable rights trading period or that any over-the-counter trading market in the rights will develop. Even if an active market develops, the trading prices of the rights may be volatile. In addition, ADS holders and stockholders in certain jurisdictions are not allowed to participate in this offering. See “Notice to Investors.” The rights held by such ineligible holders may be sold by them, which could cause the market prices of the rights to fall.
 
You will not receive any value for the rights allocated to you in this offering if you do not properly exercise or sell them.
 
If you do not exercise the rights allocated to you in this offering during the applicable subscription period or sell the rights during the applicable trading period, the rights will lapse without compensation. None of us, any underwriter or the ADS rights agent will sell or attempt to sell any unexercised rights on your behalf.
 
Holders of ADS rights or share rights who desire to exercise such rights in this offering must act promptly to ensure that all required forms, certificates and payments are actually received by the relevant agent prior to the respective expiration dates and times for subscription of new ADSs or new shares of common stock as set forth under “The Rights Offering — Offering to Holders of ADSs — ADS Subscription Procedure” and “The Rights Offering — Offering to Holders of Common Stock — Share Subscription Procedure.” If you fail to complete and deliver the required forms or certificates, fail to make the required payments or send an incorrect payment amount, or otherwise fail to follow the procedures that apply to your desired transaction, we may reject all or part of your exercise of rights and any unexercised rights will lapse without any compensation. None of us, the ADS rights agent, our share registrar or any underwriter undertakes to contact you concerning, or to attempt to correct, an incomplete or incorrect form, certificate or payment. We and our agents have sole discretion to determine whether an exercise of rights and a subscription for new ADSs or new shares of common stock properly follows the appropriate procedures. If you hold our ADSs or common stock through a securities sub-account, brokerage account or other similar


S-29


Table of Contents

custodial account with a depository agent, broker, custodian, nominee or other financial intermediary, you are urged to consult your financial intermediary without delay regarding the procedure you need to follow for the exercise of rights and subscription and payment for new ADSs or new shares of common stock.
 
The exercise of ADS rights is subject to exchange rate risk.
 
If the U.S. dollar weakens against the Won during the period between August 7, 2009 and August 25, 2009, holders of ADS rights exercising such rights and subscribing for new ADSs may be obligated to pay more than the ADS deposit amount of US$33.56 per new ADS required to be deposited by such holders at the time of such exercise and subscription. The ADS deposit amount was set at 110% of the indicative ADS subscription price of US$30.51 per new ADS, to account for possible exchange rate fluctuations and any currency conversion expenses. The indicative ADS subscription price, in turn, is the U.S. dollar equivalent of the maximum share subscription price of W37,250 per new share of common stock, based on the exchange rate of W1,220.9 per U.S. dollar, which was the market average exchange rate, as announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Services, Ltd., in effect on August 6, 2009. The final ADS subscription price will be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the final share subscription price per new share of common stock, determined as described under “The Rights Offering — Offering to Holders of Common Stock — Final Share Subscription Price,” based on the exchange rate on or about August 25, 2009 at which we can convert U.S. dollar amounts to Won amounts, plus currency conversion expenses. Since fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Won may be greater than we anticipated in setting the ADS deposit price, there is no guarantee that the ADS deposit amount will be sufficient to cover the final ADS subscription price. If the ADS deposit amount you pay to subscribe for each new ADS is less than the final ADS subscription price, you will be required to promptly pay the aggregate amount of the shortfall (including interest) and you will not receive the new ADSs subscribed by you prior to the ADS rights agent’s receipt of payment. If your payment of the aggregate amount of the shortfall is not received by the ADS rights agent prior to September 8, 2009, the ADS rights agent may sell your new ADSs in an amount sufficient to cover the amount you owe. In that event, the ADS rights agent will distribute to you as soon as practicable the remaining new ADSs together with a check in the amount of the excess net proceeds, if any, from such sale (after deducting applicable fees of up to US$0.02 per new ADS sold, as well as taxes and expenses). See “The Rights Offering — Offering to Holders of ADSs — Payment of ADS Subscription Price.” Because the exercise of the ADS rights is irrevocable, you may not revoke or cancel your exercise of ADS rights and subscription for new ADSs even if the final ADS subscription price is higher than the ADS deposit amount. The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Won has been highly volatile in recent months and such volatility may continue in the future. See “Exchange Rates.”

REASONS FOR THIS OFFERING AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Assuming a share subscription price of W37,250 per share, which represents the maximum share subscription price per share, we estimate that the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock (directly or in the form of ADSs) by us in this offering will be approximately W1,105.2 billion (net of underwriting, management and selling fees and other offering expenses). We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund potential acquisitions in the banking, securities and/or insurance industries, and to strengthen our capital base. We currently do not have any specific plans for such acquisitions. We expect that underwriting, management and selling fees and other expenses related to this offering will total approximately W12.3 billion. The aggregate net proceeds from this offering may be lower depending on the final share subscription price, which will be determined on August 21, 2009. See “The Rights Offering — Offering to Holders of Common Stock — Final Share Subscription Price.”

If you do not exercise the ADS rights or share rights allocated to you in this offering, you will, at the completion of this offering, own a smaller proportional interest in us than you owned prior to this offering. In addition, if you owned our ADSs or common stock prior to this offering, you will experience an immediate dilution of the book value per ADS or share as a result of this offering.
 
Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2008 was W47,934 per share of common stock, or US$39.26 per ADS at the exchange rate of W1,220.9 to US$1.00, the market average exchange rate as announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Services, Ltd., in effect on August 6, 2009. Net tangible book value is total stockholders’ equity excluding goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, 2008. Net tangible book value per share has been calculated as the amount of our net tangible book value of W14,807.8 billion, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding (excluding shares held by Kookmin Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary).
 
Assuming the issuance and sale by us of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock in this offering (including in the form of ADSs) at the indicative ADS subscription price of $30.51 per new ADS and the maximum share subscription price of W37,250 per new share, and after deducting underwriting, management and selling fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us of an aggregate of approximately W12.3 billion, our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2008 would have been $38.46 per ADS and W46,952 per share. This represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of US$0.80 per ADS and W982 per share outstanding prior to this offering and an immediate increase in net tangible book value of US$7.95 per new ADS and W9,702 per new share issued in this offering. The following table illustrates this per ADS and per share dilution:
 
                 
    Per ADS(1)     Per Share(2)  
 
Price per new share and per new ADS
  US$ 30.51     W 37,250  
Net tangible book value per share and per ADS as of December 31, 2008
  US$ 39.26     W 47,934  
Decrease in net tangible book value per share and per ADS outstanding prior to this offering(3)
  US$ 0.80     W 982  
Pro forma net tangible book value per share and per ADS after this offering
  US$ 38.46     W 46,952  
                 
Increase in net tangible book value per new share and per new ADS issued in this offering(4)
  US$ 7.95     W 9,702  
 
 
(1) Based on the indicative ADS subscription price of US$30.51 per new ADS.
 
(2) Based on the maximum share subscription price of W37,250 per new share of common stock.
 
(3) This represents a decrease of 2.0% in the net tangible book value per ADS and per share outstanding prior to this offering.
 
(4) This represents an increase of 26.0% in the net tangible book value per ADS and per share issued in this offering.
 
After giving effect to our sale of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock in this offering (directly or in the form of ADSs), existing ADS holders or stockholders who do not exercise their ADS rights or share rights, respectively, in this offering will be diluted such that a stockholder holding 10.00% of our issued and outstanding share capital prior to this offering will have its holding reduced to approximately 9.11% following this offering.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
We publish financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP only on an annual basis and do not prepare or publish such financial statements for interim periods. We also publish consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP only on an annual basis. With respect to interim periods, we only publish unaudited non-consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP. In such non-consolidated financial statements, our subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. Kookmin Bank, our banking subsidiary, has historically accounted for a substantial majority of our consolidated assets, liabilities and income. Our and Kookmin Bank’s respective unaudited non-consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (in the case of financial statements for Kookmin Bank) and June 30, 2009 prepared under Korean GAAP are included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.
 
Selected Non-consolidated Interim Financial Information under Korean GAAP
 
The selected non-consolidated financial data set forth below as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (in the case of financial data for Kookmin Bank) and June 30, 2009 have been derived from our and Kookmin Bank’s respective unaudited non-consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP. Such financial statements are prepared on a different basis from, and are not directly comparable with, our consolidated financial statements included in our latest annual report on Form 20-F, which are prepared under U.S. GAAP. In particular, had such financial statements been prepared under U.S. GAAP, they would have been required to be prepared on a consolidated basis. Under U.S. GAAP, the primary financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis. Non-consolidated financial information for the parent company and combined financial statements may be presented as supplementary information. Under Korean GAAP, the primary financial statements are prepared on a non-consolidated basis (i.e. stand-alone basis), where the subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. For a description of other significant differences between Korean GAAP and U.S. GAAP, see “Item 5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Reconciliation with Korean GAAP” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F.
 
You should read the following data together with our and Kookmin Bank’s respective unaudited non-consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 (in the case of financial statements for Kookmin Bank) and June 30, 2009 prepared under Korean GAAP, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. Because we were established on September 29, 2008, we do not have non-consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Historical results do not necessarily predict future results.

Non-Consolidated Interim Results of Operations of Kookmin Bank under Korean GAAP
 
Kookmin Bank, our banking subsidiary, has historically accounted for a substantial majority of our consolidated income as well as our consolidated assets and liabilities. The following discussion, as well as the discussion below under “— Non-Consolidated Interim Financial Condition of Kookmin Bank under Korean GAAP,” are based on Kookmin Bank’s unaudited non-consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP. You should read these discussions together with such non-consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. Such financial statements are prepared on a different basis from, and are not directly comparable with, our consolidated financial statements included in our latest annual report on Form 20-F, which are prepared under U.S. GAAP. See “— Selected Non-consolidated Interim Financial Information under Korean GAAP.”
 
Our results of operations and financial position, as well as those of Kookmin Bank, have been and will continue to be significantly affected by financial and economic conditions in Korea. See “Item 5A. Operating Results — Overview — Trends in the Korean Economy” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F. As a result of continued volatile conditions and weakness in the Korean and global economies, as well as factors such as the uncertainty surrounding the global financial markets, fluctuations in oil and commodity prices, interest and exchange rate fluctuations and tensions with North Korea, the economic outlook for the financial services sector in the second half of 2009 and for the foreseeable future remains uncertain. In particular, due principally to such factors, we believe that our overall results of operations for the period from June 30, 2009 to the date of this prospectus supplement have deteriorated, and for the period from June 30, 2009 to the date of completion of this offering will deteriorate, compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.

Interest income.  On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s interest income decreased 3.7% from W7,800 billion in the first half of 2008 to W7,512 billion in the first half of 2009, primarily due to a 3.0% decrease in interest on loans, as well as a 52.8% decrease in interest on trading securities. On a non-consolidated basis, the average balance of Kookmin Bank’s interest earning assets increased 11.6% from W214,421 billion in the first half of 2008 to W239,276 billion in the first half of 2009, principally due to growth in its loan portfolio. This increase was more than offset by a 97 basis point decrease in the annualized average yields on Kookmin Bank’s interest earning assets, from 7.30% in the first half of 2008 to 6.33% in the first half of 2009, which was driven mainly by decreases in average yields on loans.
 
The 3.0% decrease in interest on loans, on a non-consolidated basis, from W6,945 billion in the first half of 2008 to W6,735 billion in the first half of 2009 was primarily the result of a 14.9% decrease in interest on household (including mortgage and home equity) loans, on a non-consolidated basis, from W3,284 billion in the first half of 2008 to W2,794 billion in the first half of 2009, which was partially offset by an 8.6% increase in interest on corporate loans, on a non-consolidated basis, from W2,185 billion in the first half of 2008 to W2,374 billion in the first half of 2009 and a 10.4% increase in interest on credit card balances, on a non-consolidated basis, from W1,067 billion in the first half of 2008 to W1,178 billion in the first half of 2009.
 
The decrease in interest on household loans reflected a decrease of 145 basis points in annualized average yields on such loans, on a non-consolidated basis, from 7.19% in the first half of 2008 to 5.74% in the first half of 2009, which was partially offset by a 7.2% increase in the average volume of such loans, on a non-consolidated basis, from W91,579 billion in the first half of 2008 to W98,128 billion in the first half of 2009. The decrease in average yields on household loans mainly reflected the lower interest rate environment in Korea in the first half of 2009 resulting principally from rate lowering measures taken by the Korean government to stimulate the economy in the wake of the global financial crisis starting in the second half of 2008, while the increase in the average volume of household loans reflected increased consumer demand in light of such lower cost of borrowing.
 
The increase in interest on corporate loans was the result of a 19.3% increase in the average volume of corporate loans, on a non-consolidated basis, from W62,612 billion in the first half of 2008 to W74,717 billion in the first half of 2009, which was partially offset by a decrease of 59 basis points in annualized average yields on such


S-43


Table of Contents

loans, on a non-consolidated basis, from 7.00% in the first half of 2008 to 6.41% in the first half of 2009. The increase in the average volume of corporate loans mainly reflected increased lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, primarily as a result of policies and initiatives introduced by the Korean government to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support to such enterprises in light of their deteriorating financial condition and liquidity position due to the global financial crisis starting in the second half of 2008. See “Item 3D. Risk Factors — Risks relating to our small- and medium-sized enterprise loan portfolio — We have significant exposure to small- and medium-sized enterprises, and any financial difficulties experienced by these customers may result in a deterioration of our asset quality and have an adverse impact on us” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F. The decrease in average yields on corporate loans mainly reflected the lower interest rate environment in Korea in the first half of 2009.
 
The increase in interest on credit card balances was primarily the result of an 8.2% increase in the average volume of credit card balances, on a non-consolidated basis, from W10,561 billion in the first half of 2008 to W11,422 billion in the first half of 2009, which was enhanced by an increase of 54 basis points in annualized average yields on such balances, on a non-consolidated basis, from 20.26% in the first half of 2008 to 20.80% in the first half of 2009. The increase in the average volume of credit card balances mainly reflected increases in installment purchases and card loans. The increase in average yields on credit card balances was primarily due to increases in the interest rates charged on card loans and cash advances to cardholders that were implemented by Kookmin Bank following the global financial crisis starting in the second half of 2008.
 
Overall, on a non-consolidated basis, the average volume of Kookmin Bank’s loans (including restructured loans) increased 12.7% from W183,629 billion in the first half of 2008 to W206,878 billion in the first half of 2009, and the annualized average yields on such loans decreased 104 basis points, from 7.61% in the first half of 2008 to 6.57% in the first half of 2009, reflecting the lower interest rate environment.
 
Interest on trading securities, on a non-consolidated basis, decreased 52.8% from W123 billion in the first half of 2008 to W58 billion in the first half of 2009. This decrease resulted primarily from a 36.7% decrease in the average volume of trading securities, on a non-consolidated basis, from W4,455 billion in the first half of 2008 to W2,819 billion in the first half of 2009, which was enhanced by a decrease of 139 basis points in annualized average yields on trading securities, on a non-consolidated basis, from 5.54% in the first half of 2008 to 4.15% in the first half of 2009. The decrease in the average volume of trading securities was mainly a result of increased sales of such securities, primarily bonds issued by financial institutions, by Kookmin Bank in early 2009. The decrease in average yields on trading securities was primarily due to the general decrease in market interest rates in Korea for debt securities in the first half of 2009, which reflected the lower general interest rate environment.
 
Interest Expense.  On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s interest expense increased 1.4% from W4,340 billion in the first half of 2008 to W4,400 billion in the first half of 2009, primarily due to a 3.0% increase in interest on debts and a 0.6% increase in interest expense on deposits. On a non-consolidated basis, the average balance of Kookmin Bank’s interest bearing liabilities increased 12.8% from W203,171 billion in the first half of 2008 to W229,276 billion in the first half of 2009, principally as a result of increases in deposits and debts. This increase was partially offset by a 41 basis point decrease in the annualized average cost of Kookmin Bank’s interest bearing liabilities from 4.28% in the first half of 2008 to 3.87% in the first half of 2009, which was mainly driven by decreases in the average cost of deposits and debts.
 
The 3.0% increase in interest expense on debts, on a non-consolidated basis, from W1,367 billion in the first half of 2008 to W1,408 billion in the first half of 2009 reflected a 13.4% increase in the average volume of debts, on a non-consolidated basis, from W52,789 billion in the first half of 2008 to W59,842 billion in the first half of 2009, which was partially offset by a 45 basis point decrease in the annualized average cost of debts, on a non-consolidated basis, from 5.19% in the first half of 2008 to 4.74% in the first half of 2009. The increase in the average volume of debts was primarily attributable to higher levels of debentures due to increased use of debentures by Kookmin Bank, particularly in the second half of 2008, to meet its higher funding needs. The decrease in the average cost of debts mainly reflected the lower interest rate environment in Korea in the first half of 2009.
 
The 0.6% increase in interest expense on deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from W2,931 billion in the first half of 2008 to W2,949 billion in the first half of 2009 was primarily due to a 7.2% increase in interest expense on time and savings deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from W1,921 billion in the first half of 2008 to

Table of Contents

W2,059 billion in the first half of 2009. This increase was partially offset by a 42.7% decrease in interest expense on demand deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from W218 billion in the first half of 2008 to W125 billion in the first half of 2009.
 
The 7.2% increase in interest expense on time and savings deposits reflected a 13.9% increase in the average volume of such deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from W73,755 billion in the first half of 2008 to W83,992 billion in the first half of 2009, which was partially offset by a 28 basis point decrease in the annualized average cost of such deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from 5.22% in the first half of 2008 to 4.94% in the first half of 2009. The increase in the average volume of time and savings deposits was primarily attributable to increased demand for such deposit products as an alternative to higher-risk investments in light of adverse economic conditions in Korea and increased volatility in the financial markets during the first half of 2009. The decrease in the average cost of time and savings deposits resulted mainly from the lower interest rate environment in Korea in the first half of 2009.
 
The 42.7% decrease in interest expense on demand deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from W218 billion in the first half of 2008 to W125 billion in the first half of 2009, was due to a 45 basis point decrease in the annualized average cost of such deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from 0.98% in the first half of 2008 to 0.53% in the first half of 2009, which was partially offset by a 5.4% increase in the average volume of such deposits, on a non-consolidated basis, from W44,695 billion in the first half of 2008 to W47,126 billion in the first half of 2009. The decrease in the average cost of demand deposits mainly reflected the lower interest rate environment in Korea in the first half of 2009. The increase in the average volume of demand deposits was primarily attributable to increased consumer demand for deposit products, which offer greater liquidity and low risk, in light of adverse economic conditions in Korea.
 
Net interest margin.  Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income (annualized, in the case of interim periods) to average interest earning assets. On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s overall net interest margin decreased from 3.23% for the first half of 2008 to 2.60% for the first half of 2009, as its net interest income decreased while the average volume of its interest earning assets increased. On a non-consolidated basis, net interest income decreased 10.1% from W3,460 billion in the first half of 2008 to W3,112 billion in the first half of 2009, while the average volume of interest earning assets increased 11.6% from W214,421 billion in the first half of 2008 to W239,276 billion in the first half of 2009. The net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average yield on Kookmin Bank’s interest earning assets and the average cost of its interest bearing liabilities, declined from 3.00% in the first half of 2008 to 2.44% in the first half of 2009. The decline in net interest spread reflected a larger decrease in the average yield on Kookmin Bank’s interest earning assets (including as a result of sharp growth in the average volume of household loans, where the decrease in average yield was also relatively large) relative to the decrease in the average cost of its interest bearing liabilities (which was slowed by sharp growth in the average volume of time and savings deposits, where the decrease in average cost was relatively small), primarily due to the earlier adjustment of interest rates on interest earning assets compared to interest rates on interest bearing liabilities in the context of the lower interest rate environment, as well as continuing rate-based competition in the Korean banking industry for the marketing of both loan and deposit products.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
Provisions for loan losses is recorded as part of loss on valuation and disposal of loans receivable. On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s provision for loan losses increased 159.2% from W409 billion in the first half of 2008 to W1,060 billion in the first half of 2009, primarily due to increases in delinquencies and impaired loans in its loan portfolio (in particular its loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises) as a result of adverse economic conditions in Korea following the global financial crisis, as well as the overall growth of Kookmin Bank’s loan portfolio, in the first half of 2009.
 
On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, increased 269.4% from W186 billion in the first half of 2008 to W687 billion in the first half of 2009, which was attributable mainly to an increase in net charge-offs of loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises.

On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s non-interest income increased 24.4% from W7,725 billion in the first half of 2008 to W9,613 billion in the first half of 2009. This increase was attributable primarily to:
 
  •  a W1,404 billion increase in other operating revenue, on a non-consolidated basis, from W6,191 billion in the first half of 2008 to W7,595 billion in the first half of 2009; and
 
  •  a W461 billion increase in foreign exchange trading income, on a non-consolidated basis, from W324 billion in the first half of 2008 to W785 billion in the first half of 2009.
 
These increases were partially offset by a W111 billion decrease in commission income, on a non-consolidated basis, from W763 billion in the first half of 2008 to W652 billion in the first half of 2009.
 
Other operating revenue consists mainly of gains on derivative transactions, valuation of derivatives and valuation of fair value hedged items. Kookmin Bank engages in derivatives transactions primarily on behalf of its customers, as well as to hedge its risk exposures. The 22.7% increase, on a non-consolidated basis, in other operating revenue was primarily due to 77.1% increase in gain on derivatives transactions, on a non-consolidated basis, from W3,040 billion in the first half of 2008 to W5,383 billion in the first half of 2009. This increase was partially offset by a 34.5% decrease in gain on valuation of derivatives, on a non-consolidated basis, from W2,999 billion in the first half of 2008 to W1,963 billion in the first half of 2009. The increase in gain on derivatives transactions, which mainly reflected increased volatility and overall derivatives transaction volume, was more than offset by a corresponding increase in loss on derivatives transactions, which is recorded as other operating expenses. The decrease in gain on valuation of derivatives, which mainly reflected a decrease in the outstanding volume of currency forward transactions due to the Won’s depreciation in the second half of 2008, was also more than offset by a corresponding decrease in loss on valuation of derivatives, which is recorded as other operating expenses. On a net basis, Kookmin Bank’s net gain (loss) on transaction and valuation of derivatives, on a non-consolidated basis, changed from a W27 billion net gain in the first half of 2008 to a W281 billion net loss in the first half of 2009, primarily as a result of higher net transaction losses on currency derivatives.
 
The 142.3% increase in foreign exchange trading income, on a non-consolidated basis, principally reflected higher exchange rate volatility and trading volume for customers and was largely offset by a corresponding increase in foreign exchange trading expenses, which are recorded as an operating expense. On a net basis, Kookmin Bank’s net foreign exchange trading income increased, on a non-consolidated basis, from W63 billion in the first half of 2008 to W77 billion in the first half of 2009.
 
Commission income consists of commissions received on credit cards, commissions and fees received for brokerage and agency activities, bancassurance fees, and commissions received on fund management, cash dispenser services and letters of credit. The 14.5% decrease in commission income, on a non-consolidated basis,

was attributable principally to a decrease in commissions received on fund management, which reflected decreased consumer demand for fund products in light of adverse economic conditions in Korea and increased volatility in the financial markets following the global financial crisis.

On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s non-interest expense increased 30.9% from W9,416 billion in the first half of 2008 to W12,322 billion in the first half of 2009. This increase was primarily due to:
 
  •  a W1,835 billion increase in other operating expenses, on a non-consolidated basis, from W6,414 billion in the first half of 2008 to W8,249 billion in the first half of 2009;
 
  •  a W651 billion increase in loss on valuation and disposal of loans receivable, on a non-consolidated basis, from W409 billion in the first half of 2008 to W1,060 billion in the first half of 2009; and
 
  •  a W447 billion increase in foreign exchange trading losses, on a non-consolidated basis, from W261 billion in the first half of 2008 to W708 billion in the first half of 2009.
 
Other operating expenses consists mainly of losses on derivative transactions, valuation of derivatives and valuation of fair value hedged items. The 28.6% increase, on a non-consolidated basis, in other operating expenses was primarily due to 99.8% increase in loss on derivatives transactions, on a non-consolidated basis, from W2,906 billion in the first half of 2008 to W5,805 billion in the first half of 2009. This increase was partially offset by a 41.3% decrease in loss on valuation of derivatives, on a non-consolidated basis, from W3,106 billion in the first half of 2008 to W1,822 billion in the first half of 2009. The increase in loss on derivatives transactions, which mainly reflected increased volatility and overall derivatives transaction volume as well as continuing adverse economic conditions in Korea in the first half of 2009, was partially offset by a corresponding increase in gain on derivatives transactions, which is recorded as other operating revenues. The decrease in loss on valuation of derivatives, which mainly reflected a decrease in the outstanding volume of currency forward transactions due to the Won’s depreciation in the second half of 2008, was partially offset by a corresponding decrease in gain on valuation of derivatives, which is recorded as other operating revenues. See “— Non-Interest Income.”
 
The 159.2% increase, on a non-consolidated basis, in loss on valuation and disposal of loans receivable was primarily due to an increase in provision for loan losses in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008. See “— Provision for Loan Losses.”

The 171.3% increase in foreign exchange trading expenses, on a non-consolidated basis, principally reflected higher exchange rate volatility and trading volume for customers and was more than offset by a corresponding increase in foreign exchange trading income, which is recorded as operating revenues. See “— Non-Interest Income.”
 
Income Tax Expense
 
On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s income tax expense decreased 96.8% from W493 billion in the first half of 2008 to W16 billion in the first half of 2009, primarily as a result of a decrease in its income before income tax, as well as a W105 billion refund it received in the first half of 2009 on income taxes paid in prior years. The statutory tax rate applicable to Kookmin Bank was approximately 27.5% in the first half of 2008 and 24.2% in the first half of 2009. On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s effective tax rate was 27.9% in the first half of 2008 and 3.9% in the first half of 2009.
 
Net Income
 
As a result of the above, on a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s net income was W387 billion in the first half of 2009, compared to W1,276 billion in the first half of 2008.

On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s assets increased 1.9% from W262,093 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W267,145 billion as of June 30, 2009, mainly due to a 3.2% increases in loans in Won from W169,684 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W175,143 billion as of June 30, 2009, which was primarily a result of a 5.5% increase in corporate loans from W69,648 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W73,503 billion as of June 30, 2009. The effect of such increase was enhanced by a 14.3% increase in Kookmin Bank’s investment securities from W31,193 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W35,644 billion as of June 30, 2009. These increases were partially offset by a 12.3% decrease in Kookmin Bank’s other assets from W17,248 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W15,120 billion as of June 30, 2009, which primarily reflected a 36.1% decrease in its derivatives assets from W8,395 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W5,366 billion as of June 30, 2009, and a 13.5% decrease in loans in foreign currencies from W8,710 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W7,534 billion as of June 30, 2009.

The effect of such increase was

offset in part by a 9.2% decrease in Kookmin Bank’s debts, net, from W61,760 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W56,079 billion as of June 30, 2009, as well as an 8.5% decrease in other liabilities from W24,151 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W22,088 billion as of June 30, 2009.
 
On a non-consolidated basis, Kookmin Bank’s stockholders’ equity increased by 5.4% from W17,314 billion as of December 31, 2008 to W18,241 billion as of June 30, 2009. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in retained earnings, which was attributable to net income generated by Kookmin Bank in the first six months of 2009, which was enhanced by an increase in common stock reflecting the issuance to us of 60 million new shares of Kookmin Bank’s common stock at par value in March 2009.

THE RIGHTS OFFERING
 
General
 
We are offering an aggregate of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock, par value W5,000 per share, either directly or in the form of ADSs. As of July 27, 2009, we had 356,351,693 shares of common stock issued and 308,944,022 shares of common stock outstanding. This offering will result in the issuance of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock, or approximately 8.4% of the total common stock issued as of July 27, 2009. Following this offering, the number of shares of common stock issued will increase to 386,351,693 and the number of shares of common stock outstanding will increase to 338,944,022.
 
As required under Korean law, 6,000,000, or 20%, of the new shares of common stock were initially offered to members of our employee stock ownership association, all of which have been subscribed by such members. The remaining 24,000,000, or 80%, of the new shares of common stock are being offered by way of a rights offering to holders of our common stock and ADSs. We are distributing (i) to holders of our ADSs, transferable rights to subscribe for new ADSs at the ADS subscription price described below and (ii) to holders of our common stock, transferable rights to subscribe for new shares of our common stock at the share subscription price described below. No rights will be issued with respect to 47,407,671 shares of our common stock held by Kookmin Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
Offering to Holders of ADSs
 
Each holder of our ADSs will receive 0.0776839 ADS right for every ADS it held on the ADS record date. Each ADS right entitles the holder thereof to subscribe for one new ADS at the ADS subscription price described below. Citibank, N.A., as the depositary under our American depositary receipt, or ADR, program, will charge holders of ADSs a fee of US$0.02 per ADS held for the distribution of the ADS rights.
 
The ADS rights issued to holders of ADSs registered as such in the records of the depositary will be evidenced by certificates, which we refer to as ADS rights certificates. Holders of ADSs who hold their ADSs through a financial intermediary, such as a broker or custodian, will not be issued ADS rights certificates but will receive ADS rights in book-entry form through such financial intermediary. The ADS rights constitute warrants under U.S. law.
 
ADS Record Date
 
The record date for determination of holders of ADSs who are eligible to receive ADS rights was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2009.
 
Fractional ADS Rights
 
If, on the ADS record date, you held a number of ADSs that would entitle you to receive a number of ADS rights other than a whole number, your entitlement to ADS rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and you will receive such whole number of ADS rights, if any. Fractional ADS rights will not be distributed to you but will be aggregated with fractional ADS rights of other holders of ADSs and sold by the ADS rights agent. The net proceeds from the sale of your fractional ADS rights (after deducting applicable fees of up to US$0.02 for every ADS right sold, as well as taxes and expenses) will be remitted to you.
 
ADS Subscription Period
 
You can exercise your ADS rights and subscribe for new ADSs during the period from 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on August 7, 2009 to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 21, 2009. If you do not exercise your ADS rights during the ADS subscription period, your ADS rights will lapse without compensation.
 
Indicative ADS Subscription Price and ADS Deposit Amount
 
The indicative ADS subscription price is US$30.51 per new ADS subscribed. The indicative ADS subscription price is the U.S. dollar equivalent of the maximum share subscription price of W37,250 per share, based on the


S-51


Table of Contents

exchange rate of W1,220.9 per U.S. dollar, which was the market average exchange rate, as announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Services, Ltd., in effect on August 6, 2009.
 
A holder of ADS rights exercising such rights and subscribing for new ADSs must deposit US$33.56, or the ADS deposit amount, per new ADS subscribed, which represents 110% of the indicative ADS subscription price, to account for possible exchange rate fluctuations and any currency conversion expenses.
 
Final ADS Subscription Price
 
The final ADS subscription price will be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the final share subscription price determined as described below under “— Offering to Holders of Common Stock — Final Share Subscription Price,” based on the exchange rate on or about August 25, 2009 at which we can convert U.S. dollar amounts to Won amounts, plus currency conversion expenses. We will publicly announce the final ADS subscription price on or about August 25, 2009 through a press release or announcement which we will submit to the SEC via a report on Form 6-K. Any excess of the ADS deposit amount over the final ADS subscription price for the new ADSs being subscribed will be refunded to the exercising holders of ADS rights, while any shortfall in the ADS deposit amount over the final ADS subscription price for the new ADSs being subscribed must be paid by the exercising holders of ADS rights. See “— Payment of ADS Subscription Price” below.
 
ADS Subscription Procedure
 
Each holder of ADS rights may exercise all or only a portion of its ADS rights. Subscriptions for new ADSs must be received by the ADS rights agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 21, 2009.
 
A holder who holds ADS rights through a financial intermediary and who wishes to exercise its ADS rights should consult with the financial intermediary as to the manner, timing and form of exercise documentation, method of payment of the ADS deposit amount and other related matters required to effect such exercise. The financial intermediary with whom the subscription is made may require any person exercising ADS rights to pay or block the ADS deposit amount for the new ADSs being subscribed in a deposit account as a condition to accepting the relevant subscription. You are urged to consult your financial intermediary without delay in case your financial intermediary is unable to act immediately.
 
We and the ADS rights agent have the discretion to refuse any improperly completed documents, forms or certificates. Your exercise of your ADS rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified. You can exercise your ADS rights prior to the expiration of the ADS subscription period as follows:
 
Subscription by DTC Participants.  If you hold your ADS rights through The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, which is the book-entry settlement system for equity securities such as our ADS in the United States, you can only exercise your ADS rights by delivering completed subscription instructions for new ADSs through DTC’s PSOP Function on the “agent subscriptions over PTD” procedure and instructing DTC to charge your applicable DTC account for the ADS deposit amount required to be paid for the new ADSs being subscribed and to deliver such amount to the ADS rights agent. The subscription instructions must be received by DTC and the payment of the ADS deposit amount for the new ADSs must be received by the ADS rights agent, both by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 21, 2009.
 
Subscription by Beneficial ADS Rights Holders.  If you hold your ADS rights in a brokerage or custodian account, you will need to exercise your ADS rights through your broker or custodian. You should contact your broker or custodian to determine how to instruct the broker or custodian to exercise the ADS rights on your behalf before the expiration of the ADS subscription period. The exercise of ADS rights by brokers and custodians will be made via the clearing and settlement systems of DTC.
 
Subscription by Holders of ADS Rights Certificates.  If you are a holder of ADS rights certificates, you can exercise your ADS rights by delivering properly completed ADS rights certificates for the ADS rights being exercised and by making full payment of the ADS deposit amount required to be paid for the new ADSs being

DEPOSIT IN THE MAIL WILL NOT CONSTITUTE EFFECTIVE DELIVERY TO THE ADS RIGHTS AGENT. THE ADS RIGHTS AGENT MUST RECEIVE PROPERLY COMPLETED DOCUMENTATION AND FULL PAYMENT PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE ADS SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
 
Payment of ADS Subscription Price
 
When you exercise your ADS rights and subscribe for new ADSs, you will be required to pay to the ADS rights agent the ADS deposit amount for each new ADS subscribed, as described above under “— Indicative ADS Subscription Price and ADS Deposit Amount” and “— ADS Subscription Procedure.” The final ADS subscription price will be determined as described above under “— Final ADS Subscription Price.” In the event the ADS deposit amount you pay to subscribe for each new ADS exceeds the final ADS subscription price, the ADS rights agent will refund as soon as practicable the aggregate excess in U.S. dollars to you. We expect that the ADS deposit amount will be sufficient to cover the final ADS subscription price, although there is no guarantee that this will be the case. You will not receive any interest on refunded amounts.
 
If the ADS deposit amount you pay to subscribe for each new ADS is less than the final ADS subscription price, the ADS rights agent will pay the aggregate amount of the shortfall to us on your behalf. You will then be required to promptly pay the aggregate amount of the shortfall (including interest) and you will not receive the new ADSs subscribed by you prior to the ADS rights agent’s receipt of payment. If your payment of the aggregate amount of the shortfall is not received by the ADS rights agent prior to September 8, 2009, the ADS rights agent may sell your new ADSs in an amount sufficient to cover the amount you owe. In that event, the ADS rights agent will distribute to you as soon as practicable the remaining new ADSs together with a check in the amount of the excess net proceeds, if any, from such sale (after deducting applicable fees of up to US$0.02 per new ADS sold, as well as taxes and expenses).
 
Unexercised ADS rights
 
ADS rights that are not exercised by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 21, 2009 will lapse without compensation. Holders of ADSs who transfer or do not exercise their ADS rights will have their percentage ownership interest in us diluted.
 
Listing and Transfer of ADS Rights
 
The ADS rights will be admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KB RT.” The CUSIP number for the ADS rights is “48241A 113.” We expect that trading in the ADS rights on the New York Stock Exchange will commence on August 10, 2009 and continue until August 17, 2009.
 
Holders who hold their ADS rights through DTC or in a brokerage or custodian account with a participant in DTC may transfer their ADS rights by book-entry transfer through DTC or a DTC participant from and including August 7, 2009 through and including August 21, 2009. Holders who hold ADS rights certificates may only transfer their ADS rights through the ADS rights agent, as described below under “— Sales of ADS Rights through the ADS Rights Agent.”
 
ADS rights may not be converted into share rights and share rights may not be converted into ADS rights.

Table of Contents

Sale of ADS Rights through the ADS Rights Agent
 
If you hold an ADS rights certificate and would like to sell all or a portion of your ADS rights, you will need to deliver your ADS rights certificate to the ADS rights agent before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 14, 2009, at one of the addresses listed above under “— ADS Subscription Procedure — Subscription by Holders of ADS Rights Certificates,” and indicate on the ADS rights certificate that you wish your ADS rights to be sold. If you hold your ADS rights in a brokerage or custodian account and would like to sell all or a portion of your ADS rights through the ADS rights agent, you will need to timely instruct your broker or custodian to deliver your ADS rights together with sale instructions to the ADS rights agent before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 14, 2009.
 
At least once every week during the period when the ADS rights are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the ADS rights agent will aggregate the ADS rights delivered to it with instructions to sell and will arrange for their sale on the New York Stock Exchange through a broker appointed by the ADS rights agent for such purpose. The ADS rights agent will collect the proceeds from all such sales during the ADS subscription period, and will distribute to the ADS rights holders who have instructed such sales (or their agents) the net sales proceeds (after deducting applicable fees of up to US$0.02 per ADS right sold, as well as taxes and expenses) after the expiration of the ADS subscription period. The net sales proceeds that a holder is entitled to for its ADS rights sold will be calculated on the basis of the number of ADS rights sold and the net weighted average sale price per ADS right for all ADS rights sold by the ADS rights agent on behalf of all holders of ADS rights. Neither the ADS rights agent nor we can guarantee the ability of the ADS rights agent to effectuate such sales or the price at which any ADS rights will be sold.
 
Issuance and Delivery of New ADSs
 
The depositary will issue and deliver the new ADSs subscribed and paid for pursuant to this offering as soon as practicable after the stock certificates in respect of the new shares of common stock underlying such ADSs have been issued and delivered to Korea Securities Depository, the custodian of the depositary, in Seoul, Korea. We expect that the new ADSs will be issued and delivered on or about September 8, 2009.
 
Listing of New ADSs
 
We expect that the new ADSs will commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange on or about September 8, 2009 under the symbol “KB.”
 
ADS Rights Agent
 
Citibank, N.A., in addition to acting as the depositary in respect of our ADR program, will act as the ADS rights agent. The ADS rights are to be issued under the terms of a rights agency agreement relating to this offering between us and Citibank, N.A., which has been filed as an exhibit to the report on Form 6-K submitted by us to the SEC on August 7, 2009. The deposit agreement governing our ADR program has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form F-6 filed with the SEC on September 29, 2008 (File No. 333-153711). Copies of both the deposit agreement and the rights agency agreement are also available for inspection at the offices of Citibank N.A. at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013.
 
Ranking
 
The new ADSs will, when issued and fully paid, rank equally in all respects with the then existing ADSs, except that they will not qualify for any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions the record date for which falls before the date of issue of the new ADSs.

Offering to Holders of Common Stock
 
Each holder of our common stock will receive 0.0776839 share right for every share of common stock it held on the share record date. Each share right entitles the holder thereof to subscribe for one new share at the share subscription price described below.
 
We will issue certificates evidencing share rights, which we refer to as share rights certificates, only if specifically requested by holders of our common stock who were directly registered in our stockholder registry as of the share record date. Such holders of our common stock can request the issuance of share rights certificates, including for purposes of transfer of their share rights, by contacting Kookmin Bank, our share registrar, at 3rd Floor, Kookmin Bank Headquarters Building, 36-3, Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul 150-758, Korea, on or prior to August 25, 2009.
 
Share Record Date
 
The record date for determination of holders of common stock who are eligible to receive share rights was 5:00 p.m. on July 27, 2009 (Seoul time).
 
Fractional Share Rights
 
If, on the share record date, you held a number of shares of common stock that would entitle you to receive a number of share rights other than a whole number, your entitlement to share rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and you will receive such whole number of share rights, if any. Fractional share rights will not be distributed to you.
 
Share Subscription Period
 
You can exercise your share rights and subscribe for new shares of common stock from 9:00 a.m. (Seoul time) on August 26, 2009 to 4:00 p.m. (Seoul time) on August 27, 2009. If you do not exercise your share rights during the share subscription period, your share rights will lapse without compensation.
 
Maximum Share Subscription Price
 
The maximum share subscription price is W37,250 per share. The maximum share subscription price was determined based on the following formula:
 
             
Maximum Share Subscription Price   =   Initial Reference Price
1 + [Capital Increase Ratio (8.41864%) × Discount Rate (25%)]
   
 
where the “Initial Reference Price” was set at a discount rate of 25% to the lower of (i) the arithmetic average of (x) the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the one-month period immediately preceding, and inclusive of, July 22, 2009, (y) the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the one-week period immediately preceding, and inclusive of, July 22, 2009, and (z) the closing price of our common stock on July 22, 2009, and (ii) the closing price of our common stock on July 22, 2009, in each case on the KRX KOSPI Market.
 
Final Share Subscription Price
 
The final share subscription price per share will be determined on August 21, 2009 and will be the lower of (i) the maximum share subscription price and (ii) a reference price set at a discount rate of 25% to the relevant market price of our common stock. The relevant market price of our common stock will be the lower of (i) the arithmetic average of (x) the volume-weighted average closing price for the one-week period immediately preceding, and inclusive of, August 21, 2009, and (y) the closing price on August 21, 2009, and (ii) the closing price on August 21, 2009, in each case on the KRX KOSPI Market. The final share subscription price may not be lower than W5,000 per share. We will publicly announce the final share subscription price on or about August 22, 2009 through a press release or announcement which we will submit to the SEC via a report on Form 6-K, file with the Financial Services Commission and publish in Korea in Seoul Daily and The Dong-a Ilbo.

Share Subscription Procedure
 
Each holder of share rights may exercise all or only a portion of its share rights. Subscriptions for new shares must be received by Korea Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. prior to 4:00 p.m. (Seoul time) on August 27, 2009.
 
The exercise of share rights requires the delivery of a properly completed subscription form and full payment of the share subscription price for the new shares of common stock being subscribed to the main or a branch office of Korea Investment & Securities located in Korea. A holder who holds share rights through a financial intermediary and who wishes to exercise its share rights should consult with the financial intermediary as to the manner, timing and form of exercise documentation, method of payment of the share subscription price and other related matters required to effect such exercise. The financial intermediary with whom the subscription is made may require any person exercising share rights to pay or block the share subscription price for the new shares being subscribed in a deposit account as a condition to accepting the relevant subscription. You are urged to consult your financial intermediary without delay in case your financial intermediary is unable to act immediately.
 
We and Korea Investment & Securities have the discretion to refuse any improperly completed documents, forms or certificates. Your exercise of your share rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified. You can exercise your share rights prior to the expiration of the share subscription period as follows:
 
Subscription by Beneficial Share Rights Holders.  If you hold share rights through financial intermediaries that have accounts with the Korea Securities Depository, the Korean book-entry securities clearance and depositary system, you must instruct such financial intermediaries to exercise your share rights (including by submitting a properly completed subscription form on your behalf) and must pay the corresponding share subscription price in full to such financial intermediaries. You should contact such financial intermediaries to determine how to instruct them to exercise the share rights on your behalf before the expiration of the share subscription period.
 
Subscription by Registered Stockholders and Holders of Share Rights Certificates.  If you were a registered holder of common stock as set out in our stockholder registry as of the share record date, or if you hold share rights certificates, you must, in order to exercise your share rights, submit to Korea Investment & Securities either the allotment notice or the share rights certificates, together with a properly completed subscription form, and pay the

Table of Contents

corresponding share subscription price in full at the main or any branch office of Korea Investment & Securities located in Korea by 4:00 p.m. (Seoul time) on August 27, 2009.
 
Unexercised Share Rights
 
Share rights that are not exercised by 4:00 p.m. (Seoul time) on August 27, 2009 will lapse without compensation. Holders of common stock who transfer or do not exercise their share rights will have their percentage ownership interest in us diluted.
 
Listing and Transfer of Share Rights
 
The share rights have been approved for listing on the KRX KOSPI Market. We expect that trading in the share rights on the KRX KOSPI Market will commence on August 10, 2009 and continue until August 17, 2009.
 
Holders that hold share rights through accounts established with the Korea Securities Depository, or through financial intermediaries that have accounts with the Korea Securities Depository, may transfer their share rights by book-entry transfer through the Korea Securities Depository from and including August 10, 2009 to and including August 19, 2009. Holders of share rights who are not Korean nationals are required by Korean law to transfer their share rights only through the KRX KOSPI Market during the listing period for the share rights; provided that such holders may transfer their share rights by book-entry transfer through over-the-counter transactions from and including August 18, 2009 to and including August 19, 2009.
 
Stockholders who were directly registered in our stockholder registry as of the share record date may request our share registrar to issue share rights certificates evidencing the share rights allocated to them, and upon such request, we will issue such share rights certificates. The share rights may then be transferred by delivering the share rights certificates from and including August 7, 2009 to and including August 25, 2009.
 
Share rights may not be converted into ADS rights and ADS rights may not be converted into share rights.
 
Issuance and Delivery of New Shares
 
We expect that the new shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the share rights will be issued on or about September 2, 2009 and that the share certificates for the new shares of common stock will be delivered on or about September 7, 2009. The new shares of common stock will be issued in registered form.
 
Listing of New Shares
 
We expect that the new shares of common stock will commence trading on the KRX KOSPI Market on or about September 4, 2009 under the code “A105560.”
 
Ranking
 
The new shares of common stock will, when issued and fully paid, rank equally in all respects with the then existing shares of common stock, except that they will not qualify for any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions the record date for which falls before the date of issue of the new shares of common stock.

TAXATION
 
The following summary is based upon tax laws, regulations, rulings, decrees, income tax conventions (treaties), administrative practice and judicial decisions of Korea and the United States as of the date of this prospectus supplement, and is subject to any change in Korean or United States law that may come into effect after such date. Potential investors in rights, new shares of common stock or new ADSs are advised to consult their own tax advisers as to the Korean, United States or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of such securities, including the effect of any national, state or local tax laws.
 
Korean Taxation
 
For a discussion of certain material Korean tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposal of shares of our common stock and ADSs, see “Item 10E. Taxation” in our latest annual report on Form 20-F.
 
The following summary of Korean tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposal of share rights and ADS rights applies to you so long as you are not:
 
  •  a resident of Korea;
 
  •  a corporation having its head office, principal place of business, or place of effective management in Korea (a Korean corporation); or
 
  •  engaged in a trade or business in Korea through a permanent establishment or a fixed base to which the relevant income is attributable or with which the relevant income is effectively connected.
 
Taxation of Receipt and Exercise of Share Rights and ADS Rights
 
You would not be subject to Korean income taxation upon distribution or exercise of share rights and ADS rights received in proportion to the number of shares or ADSs owned by you.
 
Taxation of Capital Gains from Transfer of Share Rights and ADS Rights
 
As a general rule, capital gains earned by non-residents upon transfer of share rights are subject to Korean income taxation at the lower of (1) 11% (including resident surtax) of the gross proceeds realized or (2) 22% (including resident surtax) of the net realized gain, subject to the production of satisfactory evidence of acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs associated with share rights, unless exempt from Korean income taxation under an applicable tax treaty between Korea and the country of your tax residence. Capital gains earned by non-residents upon transfer of ADS rights may also be subject to Korean income taxation unless exempt from Korean income taxation under an applicable tax treaty between Korea and the country of your tax residence, although Korean tax law is not entirely clear on this point. See “— Tax Treaties” below for a discussion on treaty benefits. Even if you do not qualify for the exemption under a tax treaty, you will not be subject to the foregoing income tax on capital gains upon transfer of share rights or ADS rights if you meet certain requirements for the exemption under Korean domestic tax laws discussed in the following paragraphs.
 
Capital gains realized upon transfer of share rights through the KRX KOSPI Market may be exempt from Korean taxation if you (1) have no permanent establishment in Korea and (2) did not own or have not owned (together with any shares (possibly including the shares represented by the ADSs) owned by any entity with which you have a certain special relationship) 25% or more of our total issued and outstanding shares at any time during the calendar year in which the sale occurs and during the five consecutive calendar years prior to the calendar year in which the sale occurs, but the law on this point is not entirely clear.
 
Capital gains earned by you (regardless of whether or not you have a permanent establishment in Korea) upon transfer of ADS rights outside Korea may also be exempt from Korean income taxation by virtue of the Special Tax Treatment Control Law of Korea, or the STTCL, if the issuance of the ADS rights is deemed to be an overseas issuance pursuant to the regulation stipulated by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of Korea, or the MOSF, under the STTCL.


S-58


Table of Contents

Unless you are exempt under an applicable tax treaty or domestic tax law, you are obligated to file an income tax return and pay income tax on capital gains realized from the transfer of share rights outside of Korea (excluding a transfer on a foreign exchange) to non-residents or foreign companies without having permanent establishments in Korea; provided, that, you will be exempt from such obligation to file an income tax return and pay income tax on capital gains if the purchaser or, in the case of a sale of share rights on the KRX KOSPI Market or through a licensed securities company in Korea, the licensed securities company, withholds and remits tax on such capital gains as discussed below.
 
If you are subject to tax on capital gains with respect to a sale of share rights or ADS rights, the purchaser or, in the case of a sale of share rights or ADS rights on the KRX KOSPI Market or through a licensed securities company in Korea, the licensed securities company is required to withhold Korean tax from the sales proceeds in an amount equal to 11% (including resident surtax) of the gross realization proceeds and to remit the withheld tax to the Korean tax authority, unless you establish your entitlement to an exemption under an applicable tax treaty or domestic tax law and produce satisfactory evidence of your acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs associated with share rights and ADS rights.
 
To obtain the benefit of a tax exemption pursuant to a tax treaty, you must submit to the purchaser or the licensed securities company, as the case may be, prior to or at the time of payment, such evidence of your tax residence as the Korean tax authorities may require in support of your claim for treaty benefits. See the discussion under “— Tax Treaties” below for an additional explanation of claiming treaty benefits.
 
Tax Treaties
 
Korea has entered into a number of income tax treaties with other countries (including the United States), which would reduce or exempt Korean withholding tax on capital gains on transfer of the share rights or ADS rights. For example, under the Korea-United States income tax treaty, an exemption from Korean withholding tax on capital gains is available to residents of the United States that are beneficial owners of the relevant capital gains, subject to certain exceptions.
 
You should inquire for yourself whether you are entitled to the benefit of a tax treaty between Korea and the country where you are a resident. It is the responsibility of the party claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty in respect of capital gains to submit to us, the purchaser or the securities company, as applicable, a certificate as to his tax residence. In the absence of sufficient proof, we, the purchaser or the securities company, as applicable, must withhold tax at the normal rates. Furthermore, in order for you to obtain the benefit of a tax exemption on certain Korean source income (such as capital gains) under an applicable tax treaty, Korean tax law requires you (or your agent) to submit an application for tax exemption along with a certificate of your tax residency issued by a competent authority of your country of tax residence, subject to certain exceptions. Such application should be submitted to the relevant district tax office by the ninth day of the month following the date of the first payment of such income.
 
Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax
 
If you die while holding share rights or donate share rights, your heir or donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance or gift tax, which ranges from 10% to 50% recently, assessable based on the value of the share rights and the identity of the individual against whom the tax is assessed.
 
If you die while holding ADS rights or donate ADS rights, it is unclear whether, for Korean inheritance and gift tax purposes, you would be treated as the owner of the share rights underlying the ADS rights. If the tax authority interprets ADS rights as the underlying share rights, you may be treated as the owner of the share rights and your heir or the donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance or gift tax, which ranges from 10% to 50% recently, assessable based on the value of the share rights or ADS rights and the identity of the individual against whom the tax is assessed.
 
At present, Korea has not entered into any tax treaty relating to inheritance or gift taxes.

Securities Transaction Tax
 
If you transfer share rights through the KRX KOSPI Market, you will be subject to a securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.15% and an agriculture and fishery special surtax at the rate of 0.15% of the sales price of the share rights. If your transfer of share rights is not made through the KRX KOSPI Market, subject to certain exceptions, you will be subject to a securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.5% and will not be subject to an agriculture and fishery special surtax.
 
With respect to transfer of ADS rights, however, whether or not you will be subject to a securities transaction tax is not entirely clear as there have been no court precedents or tax rulings on this issue. Nevertheless, in relation to transfer of ADSs, the Supreme Court of Korea recently held that depositary receipts (such as ADSs) do not constitute share certificates subject to the securities transaction tax. Given such decision, your transfer of ADS rights, which can be viewed as similar to transfer of ADSs, may also be likely to be exempt from the securities transaction tax. Still, uncertainties remain as to whether the Supreme Court’s decision for transfer of ADSs will serve as the precedent for transfer of ADS rights. In any event, if ADS rights are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or other qualified foreign exchanges, you will be exempt from the securities transaction tax.
 
In principle, the securities transaction tax, if applicable, must be paid by a transferor of share rights or ADS rights. When a transfer is effected through a securities settlement company, such settlement company is generally required to withhold and remit the tax to the tax authorities. When such transfer is made through a securities company only, such securities company is required to withhold and remit the tax. Where a transfer is effected by a non-resident who has no permanent establishment in Korea by a method other than through a securities settlement company or a securities company, the transferee is required to withhold the securities transaction tax.
 
United States Taxation
 
This summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences for a U.S. holder (as defined below) of receiving, exercising, owning, or disposing of rights, common shares or ADSs. This summary applies to you only if you hold the rights, common shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. This summary does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:
 
  •  a dealer in securities or currencies;
 
  •  a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings;
 
  •  a bank;
 
  •  a life insurance company;
 
  •  a tax-exempt organization;
 
  •  an employee who received rights, shares or ADSs as compensation;
 
  •  a person that holds rights, common shares or ADSs that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate or currency risks;
 
  •  a person that holds rights, common shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes;
 
  •  a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar; or
 
  •  a person that owns or is deemed to own 5% or more of any class of our stock.
 
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder, and published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
 
If an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds rights, common shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the


S-60


Table of Contents

partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding the rights, common shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisors.
 
Please consult your own tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local, and other tax consequences of receiving, exercising, purchasing, owning, and disposing of rights, common shares or ADSs in your particular circumstances.
 
For purposes of this summary, you are a “U.S. holder” if you are the beneficial owner of a right, a common share or an ADS and are:
 
  •  a citizen or resident of the United States;
 
  •  a U.S. domestic corporation; or
 
  •  otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis with respect to income from the right, common share or ADS.
 
Issuance of Rights
 
You will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation with respect to the receipt of rights in this offering. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of your receipt of the rights in light of your particular circumstances.
 
If you receive cash on the market sale of all or a part of your fractional ADS rights (as described above under “The Rights Offering — Offering to Holders of ADSs — Fractional ADS Rights”), you should be treated as having first received such fractional rights and then having received cash in exchange for such rights. Thus, you should generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in exchange for the fractional rights and the portion of the basis, if any, of all rights received that is allocable to the fractional rights. See the discussions below under “— Basis and Holding Period of the Rights,” and “— Sale or Other Disposition of Rights.”
 
Basis and Holding Period of the Rights
 
Except as provided in the following sentence, the basis of the rights distributed to you will be zero. However, if either (i) the fair market value of the rights (including that portion of the value of your fractional ADS rights for which you receive cash on the sale thereof, if any) on the date of distribution is 15% or more of the fair market value on such date of the common shares with respect to which the rights are distributed; or (ii) you irrevocably elect, in your U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the rights are received, to allocate part of the basis of your ADSs or common shares to such rights, then your basis in your ADSs or common shares will be allocated between such ADSs or common shares and the rights in proportion to the fair market values of each on the date of distribution of the rights. No basis will be allocated to any such rights that lapse. If you receive cash representing your fractional ADS rights, if any, your tax basis in the rights received will be equal to the portion of your basis in the ADSs or common shares allocated to the rights (determined pursuant to this paragraph), reduced by the amount allocable to such fractional ADS rights.
 
You will include your holding period in ADSs or common shares with respect to which the rights were distributed in determining the holding period of the rights.
 
Sale or Other Disposition of Rights
 
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will recognize taxable gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of rights (which includes the receipt of cash on the market sale of all or part of your fractional ADS rights) in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the rights and your tax basis in the rights. Such gain or loss will generally be treated as capital gain or loss. The amount realized on a sale or other disposition of a right generally will be the amount of cash you receive in exchange for such right. If the consideration you receive for the right is not paid in U.S. dollars, the amount realized will be the U.S. dollar value of the payment received. In general, the U.S. dollar value of such a payment will be determined on the date of receipt of payment if you are a cash basis taxpayer and the date of disposition if you are an accrual basis taxpayer. However, if the rights are treated as traded


S-61


Table of Contents

on an “established securities market” and you are either a cash basis taxpayer or an accrual basis taxpayer who has made a special election, you will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized in a foreign currency by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale.
 
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain or loss you realize on a sale or other disposition of rights generally will be treated as U.S. source capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the rights were held (including the holding period in ADSs or common shares with respect to which the rights were distributed) for more than one year. Your ability to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited. Long-term capital gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder generally is subject to taxation at reduced rates.
 
Expiration of the Rights
 
If you do not exercise or sell the rights prior to the end of the exercise period, you generally will recognize no gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
Exercise of the Rights
 
You will not recognize any gain or loss upon the exercise of the rights. The aggregate basis of common shares or ADSs acquired upon exercise of rights will be equal to the sum of your basis (in U.S. dollars) in the rights exercised and the amount paid upon exercise of such rights (which, in the case of a payment in Won, will equal the U.S. dollar value of the Won-denominated subscription price determined on the date of purchase, or on the settlement date of the purchase if the shares or ADSs are treated as traded on an established securities market, and you are either an accrual basis taxpayer who has made a special election, or a cash basis taxpayer).
 
The holding period of common shares acquired upon exercise of rights will begin on the date the rights are exercised.
 
Purchase, Ownership and Disposal of Common Shares and ADSs
 
For a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposal of our common shares and ADSs, see “Item 10E. Taxation” in our latest annual report on Form 20F.
 
U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Rules
 
Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries are subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding unless the holder (i) is a corporation or other exempt recipient and demonstrates this when required or (ii) provides a taxpayer identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred.
 
Holders that are not U.S. persons generally are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, such a holder may be required to provide a certification of its non-U.S. status in connection with payments received within the United States or through a U.S.-related financial intermediary.
 
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
General
 
Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (each, an “ERISA Plan”) should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the ERISA Plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in shares of common stock or ADSs. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the ERISA Plan.
 
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) prohibit ERISA Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), Keogh plans and other plans and arrangements to which Section 4975 of the Code applies (each such plan account and arrangement, also an “ERISA Plan”), and any entities whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any such ERISA Plan’s investment in the entity, from engaging in certain transactions involving “plan assets” with persons who are “parties in interest” under ERISA or “disqualified persons” under the Code (together, “Parties in Interest”) with respect to such ERISA Plans. A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules may result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for such Parties in Interest, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that is engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction (including the owner of an IRA) may be subject to penalties under ERISA and the Code.
 
Employee benefit plans that are foreign plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA), employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, but may be subject to provisions under other non-US, federal, state or local law that are substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”). Any such plans subject to Similar Law together with ERISA Plans are referred to as “Plans” herein.
 
Prohibited Transactions
 
Certain transactions between us and an ERISA Plan with respect to which we may be a Party in Interest (either directly or by reason of our ownership of our banking or other subsidiaries) or between an underwriter and an ERISA Plan to which it may be a Party in Interest could be deemed to constitute direct or indirect prohibited transactions under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code. If we or the underwriters are a Party in Interest with respect to an ERISA Plan, the holding of common stock or ADSs, or its acceptance or exercise of share rights or ADS rights and its acquisition of shares of common stock or ADSs, may be prohibited by Section 406(a)(1) of ERISA and Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code, unless exemptive relief were available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption.
 
In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief to an ERISA Plan with respect to transactions involving share rights, ADS rights, shares of common stock or ADSs. Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts), and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by qualified professional asset managers). In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code (the “Service Provider Exemption”) may also provide limited exemptive relief to the extent that the ERISA Plan receives no less, nor pays no more, than “adequate consideration” in connection with the transaction and neither we nor any of our affiliates is a “fiduciary” to the Plan with respect to the assets involved in the transaction (as such terms are defined in ERISA and the Code). There may be similar exemptions from the provisions of Similar Law with respect to Plans not subject to ERISA or the Code. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any exemption from ERISA, the Code or Similar Law will be satisfied.


S-63


Table of Contents

In light of the foregoing, share rights (and upon their exercise, shares of common stock) and ADS rights (and upon their exercise, ADSs) may not be acquired by any Plan or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such acquisition does not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Law. Any acquirer of share rights, ADS rights, shares of common stock or ADSs, and any person causing the Plan make any such acquisition, will be deemed to have represented and warranted by such acquisition that either (a) it is not a Plan and is not making any such acquisition on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan or (b) such acquisition does not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Law.
 
The foregoing discussion of ERISA and the Code should not be construed as legal advice. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering the acquisition of share rights, ADS rights, shares of common stock or ADSs on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their legal advisors regarding the potential consequences of a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or a similar violation of applicable Similar Law) and the availability of exemptive relief under PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, the Service Provider Exemption or similar exemptions from Similar Law, if applicable.
 
The distribution of share rights and ADS rights and the sale of shares of common stock or ADSs to a Plan shall not be deemed a representation by us or the underwriters that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to Plans generally or any particular Plan.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
Rights Offering
 
We are offering an aggregate of 30,000,000 new shares of common stock, either directly or in the form of ADSs, on an underwritten basis at the applicable subscription price. Six million, or 20%, of the new shares of common stock were initially offered to members of our employee stock ownership association, all of which have been subscribed by such members. The remaining 24,000,000, or 80%, of the new shares of common stock are being offered by way of a rights offering to holders of our common stock and ADSs (other than Kookmin Bank) as of the applicable record date, which was 5:00 p.m. on July 27, 2009 (New York City time) for the ADS rights and 5:00 p.m. on July 27, 2009 (Seoul time) for the share rights. If this offering is not fully subscribed through the exercise of ADS rights and share rights during the respective subscription periods, we propose to offer the unsubscribed new shares by way of a private placement in Korea and to investors elsewhere, including a placing of such unsubscribed new shares (either directly or in the form of ADSs) in the United States.
 
Restrictions on Offering of Rights, New Shares and New ADSs
 
There are restrictions applicable to the offer, sale, exercise of, or subscription for, the rights, new shares of common stock and new ADSs in various jurisdictions. See “Notice to Investors.”

The underwriting obligations of the underwriters are subject to the receipt of customary legal opinions from counsel and to certain other customary conditions.
 
The underwriters may terminate the underwriting agreement prior to the payment of the subscription monies by the subscribers or the underwriters, as the case may be, upon the occurrence of certain customary force majeure or market disruption events.
 
Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to pay the joint lead managers and underwriters underwriting, management and selling fees in Won, or such other currency as the parties may agree, in an amount equal to 0.6% of the final share subscription price multiplied by the total number of new shares of common stock (including in the form of ADSs) issued in this offering, less the aggregate number of (i) any new shares with respect to which an underwriter’s obligation to subscribe is reduced pursuant to the underwriting agreement, (ii) any new shares subscribed by members of our employee stock ownership association for which the subscription monies have not been paid in full as of the closing date of this offering and (iii) any new shares with respect to which any of the underwriters has defaulted on its obligations. We have agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the joint lead managers and underwriters related to this offering.
 
Any offers and sales by the underwriters of the new shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriting agreement may be made both inside and outside the United States, either directly or in the form of ADSs. Any offers or sales in the United States will be conducted by the U.S. broker-dealer affiliates of the underwriters. The underwriters may offer new ADSs and new shares to the public at variable prices, which may be less than or in excess of the subscription price paid by the underwriters. Any ADSs and shares of common stock sold by the underwriters to securities dealers, and any such securities that such dealers may resell to certain other brokers or dealers, may be sold at a discount to the price or prices offered to the public. As a result of purchasing and reselling ADSs and shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters may realize profits or losses independent of any fees and commissions paid by us. Any fees, discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of ADSs or shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The underwriters may use this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to make offers and sales, or resales of the new shares.
 
We estimate that our total expenses for this offering, excluding underwriting, management and selling fee payable to the underwriters, will be approximately US$4,500,000, including regulatory, listing, registration and related fees of approximately US$2,000,000, printing, distribution and related costs of approximately US$700,000, legal fees of approximately US$1,100,000, roadshow and related expenses of approximately US$200,000 and auditors’ fees of approximately US$400,000.
 
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and their affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to payments which the underwriters and their controlling persons may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
 
Standby Purchase Commitment
 
Certain of the underwriters have entered into a separate standby purchase agreement with ING Bank N.V., which held approximately 5.05% of our total issued shares of common stock as of July 27, 2009. Pursuant to the standby purchase agreement, ING Bank N.V. has agreed to purchase at the final share subscription price up to 1,100,000 new shares of our common stock that have not been subscribed for by holders of rights, representing approximately 3.7% of the total number of new shares of our common stock being offered for subscription in this offering. ING Bank N.V.’s standby purchase commitment will not be reduced by the number of shares subscribed for by it pursuant to the exercise of its share rights.
 
Such underwriters have agreed to pay ING Bank N.V. a fee for its standby purchase commitment. Such underwriters may terminate the standby purchase agreement if the underwriting agreement is terminated or if ING Bank N.V. breaches any of its representations, warranties or obligations under the standby purchase agreement.
 
The principal executive and registered offices of ING Bank N.V. are located at Bijlmerplein 888, 1102 MG Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Certain of the underwriters have entered into separate agreements with third parties (in addition to ING Bank N.V.) to act as standby purchasers. Pursuant to these agreements, these standby purchasers have agreed to purchase a portion of the new shares of our common stock underwritten by such underwriters.
 
Lock-up
 
Under the underwriting agreement, we have agreed that we will not, and will procure that Kookmin Bank will not, during the period beginning from the date of the underwriting agreement and continuing to and including the date 180 days after our receipt of the subscription monies for the new shares of common stock, without the prior written consent of the underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or dispose of any shares of our common stock or any substantially similar securities, or the Relevant Securities. This restriction will not be applicable to any such transactions in the Relevant Securities (i) in connection with any option, bonus, profit sharing, pension, retirement, incentive, savings or similar agreement, plan or award in effect as of the date of the underwriting agreement, (ii) upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of the date of the underwriting agreement, (iii) in connection with any option, bonus, profit sharing, pension, retirement, incentive, savings or similar agreement, plan or awards involving any employees, clients, officers or directors of us and Kookmin Bank taking effect after the date of the underwriting agreement, provided the recipient of any shares or other securities as contemplated by this sub-clause (iii) shall be bound by the above restriction, (iv) in consideration for the shares or assets of a company or as part of a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or similar transaction, provided the recipient of any shares or other securities as contemplated by this sub-clause (iv) shall be bound by the above restriction, (v) in connection with any transaction or arrangement between us and any public fund or capital expansion fund that is initiated, recommended or mandated by the Korean government or any regulatory authority thereunder to enhance the financial soundness of Korean financial institutions generally, or (vi) in connection with any privately negotiated sales or transfers of the shares of our common stock held by Kookmin Bank to a limited number of financial or strategic investors or in share swap transactions with reputable companies in Korea, provided any such transferees shall agree to be bound in writing by the terms of the restriction in the underwriting agreement with respect to the Relevant Securities during the remainder of the 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Kookmin Bank may engage in ordinary course trading activities with respect to the Relevant Securities.
 
Markets and Trading
 
The ADS rights will be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange during the period from and including August 10, 2009 to and including August 17, 2009. The share rights will be listed and traded on the KRX KOSPI Market during the period from and including August 10, 2009 to and including August 17, 2009. The rights will trade on the applicable stock exchanges under their relevant listing rules.
 
The underwriters have advised us that they may make a market for the ADSs, the shares of common stock, the ADS rights and share rights. The underwriters may also engage in transactions for their own accounts or for the accounts of others in the ADSs, shares of common stock, ADS rights, share rights and certain derivatives linked to our ADSs and shares of common stock.
 
We expect that the new ADSs will commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange on or about September 8, 2009 and the new shares of common stock will commence trading on the KRX KOSPI Market on or about September 4, 2009.
 
Price Stabilization and Short Positions
 
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our ADSs, shares of common stock, ADS rights or share rights in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of ADSs, shares of common stock, ADS rights or share rights than they are required to purchase in the offering. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure


S-67


Table of Contents

on the price of our ADSs, shares of common stock, ADS rights or share rights in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of any of these securities made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of this offering.
 
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
 
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our ADSs, shares of common stock, ADS rights or share rights, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of ADSs, shares of common stock, ADS rights or share rights. As a result, the price of those securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange, the KRX KOSPI Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
 
Delivery of the New Shares and New ADSs
 
We expect that the new shares of common stock and the new ADSs to be issued in this offering will be delivered on or about September 7, 2009 and September 8, 2009, respectively.
 
Other Relationships
 
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided and will continue to provide advisory and investment banking services, and have entered and will continue to enter into other commercial transactions with us and our affiliates, for which they have received and may in the future receive customary compensation.
 
In connection with the offering of the new shares of common stock and new ADSs, the underwriters may enter into standby arrangements with its affiliates or certain other parties that allow a selling concession or a standby fee to such affiliates or certain other parties.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies
 
The Korean Accounting Standards Board has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (“SKFAS”). The Company has adopted SKFAS No. 1 through No. 24, except No. 14, and No. 101, in the preparation of its financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:
 
Equity Method Investments
 
Investments in equity securities of subsidiaries, over which the Company exercises a significant control or influence, are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company accounts for its proportionate ownership in the book value of the subsidiary in current operations as adjustment to income or loss, retained earnings, capital surplus, capital adjustments, or accumulated other comprehensive income depending on the nature of the underlying change in the book value of the subsidiaries. The acquisition cost of the Company stock


F-8


Table of Contents

 
KB Financial Group Inc.
 
Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
owned by its subsidiaries is deducted from the Company’s equity method investments and accounted as capital adjustment.
 
The Company discontinues the equity method for equity method investments when the Company’s share of accumulated losses equals the costs of the investments, and until the subsequent cumulative changes in its proportionate net income of the subsidiaries equals its cumulative proportionate net losses not recognized during the periods when the equity method was suspended.
 
Any significant difference between expected cash flows from equity method investments and the Company’s proportionate ownership in the net book value of the investees is accounted for as impairment loss from equity method investments. When the estimated future expected cash flows from equity method investments exceed the carrying value after impairment, such recovery is recorded in current operations up to the recorded impairment loss amount.
 
If the equity method investee is one of the Company’s subsidiaries and is subject to consolidation, the changes, arising from additional stock purchase or capital increase and from the net difference of net asset value of investee and acquisition cost in net asset from the date of consolidation, are reflected as changes in capital surplus or capital adjustment in the Company’s statement of financial position.
 
The excess of the acquisition cost over the proportionate fair value of the investee’s net asset is amortized using the straight-line method up to a maximum of 20 years. The excess of the proportionate fair value of net asset over the acquisition cost (“the excess”), arising from the agreed expected future loss or expense, is recognized as income when expected future loss or expense is incurred. The excess up to the fair value of identifiable non-monetary assets is recognized as income over the years using the weighted average useful lives of non-monetary assets. The excess over fair value of identifiable non-monetary assets is recognized as income and reflected in the equity.
 
Unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the Company and subsidiaries are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in each equity method investee. Unrealized gains or losses from downstream sales is fully eliminated and reflected in equity method investments.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The Company provides an allowance for loan losses based on reasonable and objective analysis of the borrowers’ capacity to repay their obligation.
 
Property and Equipment
 
The cost of property and equipment includes purchase costs, incidental costs directly related to preparing the property and equipment for use, and the discounted estimated costs to remove, dismantle or restore property and equipment at the end of the estimated useful lives of the related assets, when these costs meet the conditions for the recognition of liabilities.
 
Property and equipment are recorded as net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Depreciation is computed using declining balance method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
         
Items
 
Depreciation Method
 
Estimated Useful Life
 
Property and equipment
  Declining balance method   4 years
 
The Company’s land is revalued periodically by an independent appraiser. Any gain on revaluation, net of tax, is credited to accumulated other comprehensive income. On the other hand, loss on revaluation, net of tax, is first netted against accumulated other comprehensive income and the remainder is included in current operations.
 
Betterments and renewals, enhancing the value of the assets over their recently appraised value, are capitalized. However, routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
The Company assesses the potential impairment of property and equipment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made the recovery of an asset’s carrying value unlikely. The carrying value of the assets is reduced to the estimated realizable value, and an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to current operations. However, the recovery of the impaired assets is recorded in current operations up to the cost of the assets before impairment, net of accumulated depreciation, when the estimated recoverable value of the assets exceeds the carrying value after impairment.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets included in other assets are recorded at the production costs or purchase costs plus incidental expenses less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:
 
         
Items
 
Depreciation Method
 
Estimated Useful Life
 
Software
  Straight-line   4 years
Others
  Straight-line   4 years
 
The Company assesses the potential impairment of intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made the recovery of an asset’s carrying value unlikely. The carrying value of the intangible assets is reduced to the estimated realizable value, and an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to current operations. However, the recovery of the impaired intangible assets is recorded in current operations up to the cost of the intangible assets before impairment, net of accumulated amortization, when the estimated recoverable value of the assets exceeds the carrying value after impairment.
 
Discounts on Debentures
 
Discounts on debentures are amortized over the term of the debentures using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of the discount is recorded as part of interest expense.
 
Accrued Severance Benefits
 
Employees and officers with at least a year of service are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits represent the amount which would be payable assuming all eligible employees and officers were to terminate their employment at the end of each reporting period.
 
The Company has adopted a defined benefit pension. Accrued severance benefits and accrued pension benefits are recognized as liabilities for employees and for retired employees who are qualified and choose to receive payments from the pension plan, respectively.
 
The accrued severance benefits and accrued pension benefits are presented as net of pension plan assets, and when pension plan assets exceed the accrued severance benefits and accrued pension benefits, the excess amount is presented as an investment asset.
 
Share-Based Payments
 
The fair value of the goods or employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as expense and capital adjustment when the settlement term is equity-settled share based payment. If the fair value of goods or employee services cannot be estimated reliably, the fair value is estimated based on the fair value of the equity granted.
 
For cash-settled share-based payments, the fair value of the obligation the Company will assume is determined by the fair value of the goods or employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options. Until the

liability is settled, the Company is required to measure the fair value at the end of reporting period and at settlement date. The change in fair value is recognized as expense.
 
Share-based payment transactions with an option for the parties to choose between cash and equity settlement are accounted for based on the substance of the transaction.
 
Income Tax and Deferred Income Tax
 
Income tax expense includes the current income tax under the relevant income tax law and the changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as the amount which will be credited or charged to income tax expense in the period the related temporary differences reverse in the future. Deferred tax effects applicable to items in the shareholders’ equity are directly reflected in the shareholders’ equity.
 
Provision and Contingent Liabilities
 
When there is a probability that an outflow of economic benefits will occur due to a present obligation resulting from a past event, and whose amount is reasonably estimable, a corresponding amount of provision is recognized in the financial statements. However, when such outflow is dependent upon a future event, is not certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regarding the contingent liability is made in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash and due from bank as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, are summarized as follows:

                      114,480      
                             
 
 
(1) In order to exercise their stock grants, at least three years of service as vesting period are required for executive directors, while the fulfillment of their remaining contracted service period is required for non-executive directors.
 
(2) The 40 or 37.5% of the shares to be granted will be based on the achievement of the targeted relative TSR ratio, while another 40 or 37.5% will be based on the achievement of the targeted relative EPS ratio. The remaining 20 or 25% will depend on the Company’s growth and on the evaluation of three-year trend on return on asset ratios. However, some of total granted shares will be compensated regardless of the above achievements as long as service requirement is fulfilled.
 
The maximum number of total granted shares is determined on the contract date, and the number of shares to be compensated is determined by the achievements of the targets. The Company may settle the payment by either cash or equity.
 
The value of stock grant is measured at fair value as of June 30, 2009. The amount for each stock grant is W42,400 per share.

Kookmin Bank
 
June 30, 2009 and 2008
 
1.   The Bank
 
Kookmin Bank (the “Bank”) was established in 1963 under the Citizens National Bank Act to provide banking services to the general public and to small and medium-sized enterprises. Pursuant to the Repeal Act of the Citizens National Bank Act, effective January 5, 1995, the Bank’s status changed to a financial institution which operates under the Banking Act and Commercial Act.
 
The Bank merged with Korea Long Term Credit Bank on December 31, 1998, and with its subsidiaries, Daegu, Busan, Jeonnam Kookmin Mutual Savings & Finance Co., Ltd., on August 22, 1999. Also, pursuant to directive from the Financial Services Commission in connection with the Structural Improvement of the Financial Industry Act, the Bank acquired certain assets, including performing loans, and assumed most of the liabilities of Daedong Bank on June 29, 1998. Also, the Bank completed the legal consolidation with Housing and Commercial Bank (“H&CB”) on October 31, 2001, and merged with Kookmin Credit Card Co., Ltd., a majority-owned subsidiary, on September 30, 2003.
 
The Bank listed its shares on the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange (“KRX,” formerly Korea Stock Exchange) in September 1994. As a result of the legal consolidation with H&CB, the shareholders of the former Kookmin Bank and H&CB received new common shares of the Bank which were relisted on the KRX on November 9, 2001. In addition, H&CB listed its American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on October 3, 2000 prior to the legal consolidation. Following the legal consolidation with H&CB, the Bank listed its ADS on the NYSE on November 1, 2001. The Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of KB Financial Group Inc. through comprehensive stock transfer on September 29, 2008. Subsequently, the Bank’s shares and its ADS each listed on the KRX and the NYSE were delisted on October 10, 2008 and September 26, 2008, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, the Bank’s paid-in capital is W2,481,896 million.
 
The Bank engages in the banking business in accordance with Banking Act, trust business in accordance with Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, credit card business in accordance with Specialized Credit Financial Business Act and other relevant businesses. As of June 30, 2009, the Bank has 1,194 domestic branches and offices (excluding 302 automated teller machine stations) and five overseas branches (excluding three subsidiaries and three offices).
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies followed by the Bank in the preparation of its non-consolidated financial statements are as follows:
 
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
 
The Bank maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Certain accounting principles applied by the Bank that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. The accompanying financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language non-consolidated financial statements. Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Bank’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
Application of the Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards
 
The Korean Accounting Standards Board (“KASB”) has published a series of Statements of Korean Financial Accounting Standards (“SKFAS”), which will gradually replace the existing financial accounting standards, established by the Korean Financial and Supervisory Board. The Bank has adopted SKFAS No. 1 through No. 24, except No. 14, in its financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.
 
Significant accounting policies adopted by the Bank for the financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, are identical to the accounting policies followed by the Bank for the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Interest Income Recognition
 
The Bank applies the accrual basis in recognizing interest income related to deposits, loans and securities. Interest on loans, whose principal or interest is past due at the statements of financial position date, is generally not accrued, with the exception of interest on certain loans guaranteed by financial institutions, or collateralized by bank deposits. When a loan is placed on a non-accrual status, the previously accrued interest is generally reversed and deducted from current interest income; and future interest income is recognized on the cash basis. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the total of the principal amount of loans and securities for which the accrued interest income was not recorded in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements based on the above criteria amounted to W5,618,879 million and W6,607,393 million, respectively, and the related accrued interest income not recognized amounted to W457,563 million and W538,461 million, respectively.
 
Classification of Securities
 
At acquisition, the Bank classifies securities into the following categories: trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity and equity method investments, depending on marketability, the intention at the date of purchase and ability to hold. Securities that are bought and held for the purpose of resale in the near term and are actively traded are classified as trading securities. Debt securities with fixed maturity and with either fixed or determinable payments which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities. Securities that enable the Bank to exert significant influence over the investees are classified as equity method investments. All other securities not classified above are categorized as available-for-sale securities.
 
If there are changes in the Bank’s intent and ability to hold securities, available-for-sale securities can be reclassified as held-to-maturity securities and held-to-maturity securities can be reclassified as available-for-sale securities. Whereas, if the Bank has either sold held-to-maturity securities before maturity or exercised early redemption right to issuer within the current year or the preceding two fiscal years, or if it reclassified held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale securities in the past, all debt securities that are owned or purchased cannot be classified as held-to-maturity securities with the exception of held-to-maturity securities sold when the fluctuation in the market interest has immaterial effect to the fair value as the remaining term of the securities is short. As for trading securities, in rare cases, it can be reclassified to available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities when trading securities are no longer held for resale in the near term and can be reclassified to available-for-sale securities when they lose marketability. In any other cases, trading securities cannot be reclassified to other categories and no category can be reclassified to trading securities.
 
Valuation of Trading Securities
 
Trading securities are initially recognized at acquisition cost, which includes the market value of the consideration given and any other transaction costs involved in the acquisition, which is determined by the individual moving average method (the specified identification method for debt securities). The difference between the acquisition costs and face values of debt securities are amortized over the remaining terms of the debt securities by applying effective interest rate method and added to or subtracted from the acquisition costs and interest income.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
After initial recognition, trading securities are stated at fair value at the statements of financial position date and any difference between acquisition value and fair value, unrealized holding gain or loss, is recognized in current earnings.
 
Valuation of Available-for-sale Securities
 
Available-for-sale securities are initially recognized at acquisition cost, which includes the market value of the consideration given and any other transaction costs involved in the acquisition, which is determined by the individual moving average method (the specified identification method for debt securities). The difference between the acquisition costs and face values of debt securities are amortized over the remaining terms of the debt securities by applying effective interest method and added to or subtracted from the acquisition costs and interest income. After initial recognition, available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value at the statements of financial position date and any difference between acquisition value and fair value, unrealized holding gain or loss, is presented as gain or loss on valuation of available-for-sale securities in accumulated other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income of securities is charged to current earnings in a lump sum at the time of disposal or impairment recognition. Non-marketable securities are stated at acquisition cost on the financial statements if the fair value cannot be reliably estimated.
 
If the fair value of equity securities (net asset fair value in case of non-marketable equity securities stated at acquisition cost) is below the acquisition cost and the objective evidence of impairment exists, the carrying value is adjusted to fair value and the resulting valuation loss is charged to current earnings. If the estimated recoverable amount of debt securities is less than the amortized cost and the objective evidence of impairment exists, the carrying value is adjusted to recoverable amount and the resulting valuation loss is charged to current earnings. With respect to impaired securities, if the amount of impairment loss that must be recognized in the current period exceeds the remaining amount of unrealized valuation loss, the unrealized valuation loss shall first be derecognized from the accumulated other comprehensive income, and then, the amount of excess shall be subtracted from the carrying amount of the securities. In addition, if there are any remaining amount of unrealized valuation gain related to the securities in the accumulated other comprehensive income, the entire amount of unrealized valuation gain shall be derecognized from the accumulated other comprehensive income and subtracted from the carrying amount of the securities.
 
Valuation of Held-to-maturity Securities
 
Held-to-maturity securities are initially recognized at acquisition cost, which includes the market value of the consideration given and any other transaction costs involved in the acquisition, which is determined by the specific identification method. The difference between the acquisition costs and face values of held-to-maturity securities are amortized over the remaining terms of the securities by applying effective interest method and added to or subtracted from the acquisition costs and interest income. If the estimated recoverable amount of debt securities is less than the amortized cost and the objective evidence of impairment exists, the carrying value is adjusted to recoverable amount and the resulting valuation loss is charged to current earnings.
 
Valuation of Equity Method Investments
 
Equity securities held for investment in companies in which the Bank is able to exert significant influence over the investees (in accordance with the Banking Act, if the Bank holds more than 15% of the total issued shares, the Bank is considered being able to exert significant influence) are accounted for using the equity method. The Bank’s share in net income or net loss of investees is included in current earnings. Changes in the retained earnings of investee are reflected in the retained earnings. Changes in the capital surplus, capital adjustments or accumulated other comprehensive income of investee are reflected as gain or loss on valuation of equity method investments in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Bank discontinues the equity method for equity method investments when the Bank’s share of accumulated losses equals the costs of the investments, and until the subsequent cumulative changes in its proportionate net income of the subsidiaries equals its cumulative proportionate net losses not recognized during the periods when the equity method was suspended.
 
Significant difference between expected cash flow from equity method investments and the Bank’s proportionate ownership in the net book value of the investees is accounted for as impairment loss from equity method investments. When the estimated future expected cash flows from equity method investments exceed the carrying value after impairment, such recovery is recorded in current operations up to the recorded impairment loss amount.
 
If the equity method investee is one of the Bank’s subsidiaries subject to consolidation, the changes, arising from additional stock purchase or capital increase and from the net difference of net asset value of investee and acquisition cost in net asset from the date of consolidation, are reflected as changes in capital surplus or capital adjustment in the Bank’s statement of financial position.
 
The excess of the acquisition cost over the proportionate fair value of the investee’s net asset is amortized using the straight-line method up to a maximum of 20 years. The excess of the proportionate fair value of net asset over the acquisition cost (“the excess”), arising from the agreed expected future loss or expense, is recognized as income when expected future loss or expense is incurred. The excess up to fair value of identifiable non-monetary assets is recognized as income over the years using the weighted average useful lives of non-monetary assets. The excess over fair value of identifiable non-monetary assets is recognized as income and reflected in the equity.
 
Unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the Bank and subsidiaries are eliminated to the extent of the Bank’s interest in each equity method investee. Unrealized gains or losses from downstream sales is fully eliminated and reflected in equity method investments.
 
Reversal of Impairment
 
The reversal of impairment loss of available-for-sale securities, when it is objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of impairment loss, is recognized as current earnings to the extent of the impairment loss previously recognized under impairment loss as reversal of impairment loss on available-for-sale securities and any excess is recognized as gain on valuation of available-for-sale securities in the accumulated other comprehensive income. Even though the fair value increases subsequent to the recognition of an impairment loss, if such increase does not qualify to be recognized as a reversal of impairment loss, the increase in fair value is included in the accumulated other comprehensive income. For non-marketable equity securities which are not measured at fair values and were impaired based on the net asset fair value, the recovery cannot exceed the initial acquisition cost.
 
The reversal of impairment loss of held-to-maturity securities, when it is objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of impairment loss, is recognized as current earnings to the extent that the new carrying amount after the reversal of impairment loss shall not exceed the amortized cost that would have been measured at the date of reversal, had no impairment loss been recognized.
 
Valuation of Reclassified Securities
 
When held-to-maturity securities are reclassified to available-for-sale securities, these reclassified securities are accounted for at fair value on the reclassification date and the difference between the fair value and book value resulting from the reclassification is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as gain or loss on valuation of available-for-sale securities. When available-for-sale securities are reclassified to held-to-maturity securities, the amount of unrealized gain or loss on valuation of available-for-sale securities, at the reclassification date, continues to be included in accumulated other comprehensive income and be amortized over the remaining period until maturity using the effective interest rate method and added to or subtracted from interest income of the remaining period. The difference between the fair value at the reclassification date and face value of the reclassified securities to held-to-maturity securities is amortized over the remaining period until maturity using the effective


F-38

interest rate method and added to or subtracted from interest income of the remaining period. In addition, when certain trading securities lose their marketability, such securities are reclassified as available-for-sale securities at fair market value at the reclassification date.
 
Transfers of Securities
 
When transfer of securities through realization, expiration or sale of the right to obtain the economic benefits from the securities occurs and the control over securities is lost, the unrealized valuation gain or loss of securities reported in accumulated other comprehensive income is added to or subtracted from the difference between the amount received or receivable as consideration for the security transfer and book value of the security, which in turn is recognized in the current earnings. However, when securities are transferred without losing control of the securities, the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing transaction.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses, Acceptances and Guarantees Losses and Unfunded Commitments
 
The Regulation on Supervision of Banking Business (the “Supervisory Regulation”), legislated by the Financial Services Commission (“FSC”), requires all loans to be classified into five categories as normal, precautionary, substandard, doubtful, or estimated loss based on borrowers’ repayment capability and historical financial transaction records. Also, the Supervisory Regulation requires all loans to have allowance for loan losses no less than the directed minimum percentage rate in its respective category.
 
As required by the Supervisory Regulation, allowance for loan losses is provided in accordance with loan loss rate by category for corporate credits (loans, confirmed acceptances and guarantees) over certain size which is determined by Forward Looking Criteria (the “FLC”) that considers the borrower’s capability of repayment. The FLC evaluates the asset by considering the types of loan, collaterals and guarantees, if any, in addition to measuring the borrowers rating based on industry risk, individual risk and financial risk factors. The Bank generally classifies all credits provided to a single borrower in the same category of classification but credits guaranteed or collateralized by bank deposits, real estate or other assets may be classified to a different category based on the guarantor’s capability to fulfill its obligation upon default or based on the value of collateralized assets. Also, factors such as borrowers’ credit rating, past due period, bankruptcy are reflected. In cases where more than two factors are presented, it gets classified to the highest risk category. Based on aforementioned corporate credit evaluation model, borrowers’ rating are divided into 17 grades from AAA to D (AAA, AA+, AA, A, BBB+, BBB, BBB−, BB+, BB, BB−, B+, B, B−, CCC, CC, C and D). From credit grade AAA to B are classified as normal, from credit grade B− to CCC are classified as precautionary, credit grade CC is classified as substandard, credit grade C is classified as doubtful and credits grade D is classified as estimated loss.
 
The Bank provides allowances for loss in accordance with loan loss rate by category as prescribed in the Supervisory Regulation. The loan loss rates for corporate loans range from 0.85(0.9% for loans to economy-sensitive industries) ~ 6.9% for normal, 7.0 ~ 19.9% for precautionary, 20 ~ 49.9% for substandard, 50 ~ 99.9% for doubtful and 100% for estimated loss. However, the Bank does not provide allowances for call loans, bonds purchased under resale agreements and inter-bank loans that are classified as normal pursuant to the Supervisory Regulation.
 
In addition, as required by the Supervisory Regulation, based on the classification of household loans and credit card receivables by past due period and status of bankruptcy proceedings, allowance for household loans and credit card receivables are calculated on the category balances using the prescribed percentages of 1.0 ~ 9.9% and 1.5 ~ 14.9% for normal, 10 ~ 19.9% and 15 ~ 19.9% for precautionary, 20 ~ 54.9 and 20 ~ 59.9% for substandard, 55 ~ 99.9% and 60 ~ 99.9% for doubtful, and 100% for estimated loss.
 
Pursuant to the Supervisory Regulation, the Bank provides allowances for losses on confirmed acceptances and guarantees, unconfirmed acceptances and guarantees, and bills endorsed based on the credit classification, minimum rate of loss provision prescribed by the Supervisory Regulation and the cash conversion factor. In

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
addition, the Bank provides allowance for unfunded commitments of credit card and unused credit line of consumer and corporate loans based on the cash conversion factor and minimum rate of loss provision prescribed by the Supervisory Regulation.
 
In addition, when an allowance for loan losses required by the Supervisory Regulation is less than the amount calculated based on the historical loss rate, which is estimated through objective and reasonable method in accordance with the accounting principle in the Republic of Korea, historical loss rate is reflected in the allowance for loan losses.
 
The method and data used for determining the allowance for loan losses based on historical loss rate by the Bank’s lending portfolios are as follows:
 
             
        Period of Historical
  Period of
Lending Portfolios
 
Methodology
 
Loss Rate
 
Recovery Ratio
 
Impaired corporate loans
  DCF & Migration   N/A   N/A
Non-impaired corporate loans
  Migration analysis   1 year   5 years
Household loans
  Migration analysis   1 year   5 years
Credit card loans
  Roll-rate analysis   1 year   5 years
 
Based on the loan portfolios’ nature, lending period, recovery period and other economic factors, the Bank determines the appropriate data period to be used in assessing its historical loss rate and recovery ratio.
 
Restructuring of Loans
 
The equity interest in the debtors, net of real estate and/or other assets received as full or partial satisfaction of the Bank’s loans, collected through reorganization proceedings, court mediation or debt restructuring agreements of parties concerned, is recorded at fair value at the time of the restructuring. In cases where the fair value of the assets received is less than the book value of the loan (book value before allowances), the Bank first offsets the book value against allowance for loan losses and then recognizes provision for loan losses. Impairment loss for loans that was restructured during a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms are based on the difference between the present value of future cash flows under debt restructuring agreements discounted at effective interest rates at the time when loans are originated and the book value before allowance for loan losses. If the amount of allowance already established is less than the impairment loss, the Bank provides additional allowance for the difference. Otherwise, the Bank reverses the allowance for loan losses.
 
Deferred Loan Origination Fees and Costs
 
The Bank defers loan origination fees associated with originating loans and loan origination costs that have future economic benefits. Loan balances are reported net of these loan origination fees and costs. The deferred loan origination fees and costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method and added to or subtracted from interest income.
 
Valuation of Receivables and Payables at Present Value
 
Receivables and payables incurred through long-term installment transactions, long-term borrowing and lending transactions, and other similar transactions are stated at the present value of expected future cash flows, and the gain or loss on valuation of related receivables and payables is reflected in current earnings, unless the difference between nominal value and present value is immaterial. Present value discount or premium is amortized using the effective interest rate method and added to or subtracted from interest income.

Bonds under Resale or Repurchase Agreements
 
Bonds purchased under resale agreements are recorded as loans and bonds sold under repurchase agreements are recorded as borrowings when the Bank purchases or sells securities under such agreements.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost or production cost including incidental expenses. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that enhance the capacity or increase the future economic benefit of the assets are capitalized as additions to property and equipment.
 
Depreciation is computed by using the declining-balance method (straight-line method for building and structures) based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
         
Property and Equipment
 
Depreciation Method
 
Estimated Useful Lives
 
Buildings and structures
  Straight-line   40 years
Leasehold improvements
  Declining balance   4 years
Equipment and vehicles
  Declining balance   4 years
 
The Bank’s land is revalued periodically by independent appraisers. Any gain on revaluation, net of tax, is credited to accumulated other comprehensive income. On the other hand, loss on revaluation, net of tax, is netted against accumulated other comprehensive income and then the remaining amount is included in current earnings.
 
The Bank classifies a lease contract as financial lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards to the Bank. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the Bank. Generally, the financial leases are the leases that (1) on or before at the expiration date, the ownership of leased asset will be transferred to the Bank, (2) the Bank has the bargain purchase option at the inception of the lease and it is certain that the Bank will exercise its bargain purchase option, (3) the lease period is more than 75% of economic life of the leased assets, (4) at the inception, the present value of minimum lease payments discounted at the imputed interest rate is more than 90% of the fair value of the leased assets, or (5) the leased asset is not commonly usable.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost including incidental expenses and are presented in the financial statements net of accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:
 
         
Intangible Assets
 
Depreciation Method
 
Estimated Useful Lives
 
Goodwill
  Straight-line   9 years
Trademarks
  Straight-line   5-20 years
Others
  Straight-line   3-30 years
 
The Bank recorded goodwill, resulting from the merger with H&CB, as the cost of the merger exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Bank estimates the useful lives of endowment assets that are beneficial upon usage based on the terms of the contract and classifies it as other intangible assets.
 
Impairment of Assets
 
When the book value of assets exceeds the collective value of the assets due to obsolescence, physical damage or a sharp decrease in market value and the difference is material, the book value are adjusted to their collective value in the statements of financial position and the resulting impairment loss is charged to current earnings. If the collective value of the assets increases in subsequent years, the increase in value is credited to earnings as gain until


F-41


Table of Contents

 
Kookmin Bank
 
Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
the collective value equals the book value of assets that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized. However, impairment of goodwill is not reversed subsequently.
 
Securities Sold
 
In relation to the securities lending, borrowed securities from Korea Securities Depository (the “KSD”) and others are recognized only in the Bank’s memorandum accounts. When those securities are sold, the Bank recognizes corresponding securities as securities sold. The changes in fair value of securities sold are recorded as gain or loss on valuation of securities sold. The differences between book value and repurchase price of securities sold are accounted for as gain or loss from disposal of securities sold.
 
Amortization of Discounts or Premiums on Debentures
 
Discounts or premiums on debentures issued are amortized over the period from issuance to maturity using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of discounts or premiums is recognized as interest expense on the debentures.
 
Contingent Liabilities
 
When there is a probability that an outflow of economic benefits will occur due to a present obligation resulting from a past event, and whose amount is reasonably estimable, a corresponding amount of provision is recognized in the financial statements. However, when such outflow or inflow is dependent upon a future event, is not certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regarding the contingent liability in case of an outflow is made in the notes to the financial statements.
 
Accrued Severance Benefits
 
Employees and directors with at least one year of service as of June 30, 2009, are entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of their employment with the Bank, based on their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. The accrued severance benefits that would be payable assuming all eligible employees and directors were to resign are included in other liabilities.
 
The severance benefits are funded through a severance insurance deposit for payment of severance benefits, and the account is deducted from accrued severance benefits. However, if the deposit exceeds accrued severance benefits, the Bank classifies the excess deposit over accrued severance benefits as other investments.
 
Derivative Instruments
 
The Bank accounts for derivative instruments pursuant to the Interpretations on Financial Accounting Standards 53-70, Accounting for Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are classified as used for trading activities or for hedging activities according to their transaction purpose. All derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with the valuation gain or loss recorded as an asset or liability. If derivative instruments are not part of a transaction qualifying as a hedge, the adjustment to fair value is reflected in current earnings.
 
The accounting for derivative transactions that are part of a qualified hedge based both on the purpose of the transaction and on meeting the specified criteria for hedge accounting differs depending on whether the transaction is a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Fair value hedge accounting is applied to derivative instruments designated as hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or a firm commitment (hedged item) that is attributable to a particular risk. The gain or loss both on the hedging derivative instruments and on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is reflected in current earnings. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied to derivative instruments designated as hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows of an asset or a liability or a forecasted transaction that is attributable to a particular risk. The effective portion of gain or loss on derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive


F-42

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
income and the ineffective portion is recorded in current earnings. The effective portion of gain or loss recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income is recorded as current earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. If the hedged transaction results in the acquisition of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, the gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income is added to or deducted from the asset or the liability.
 
Accounting for Share-based Payments
 
The terms of the arrangement for share-based payment transactions provide the Bank with a choice of whether the transaction is settled in cash or by issuing equity instruments. In accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on August 23, 2005, to settle the transaction in cash, the compensation cost is recorded in other liabilities (accrued expense).
 
The compensation cost of stock options granted before and after the effective date of the SKAS No. 22, Share-based Payments, was measured using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the Interpretations on Financial Accounting Standards 39-35, Accounting for Stock Options, and the fair value method, respectively.
 
National Housing Fund
 
The Bank, as designated by the Korean government under the Housing Law (formerly Housing Construction Promotion Law), manages the sources and uses of funds of the National Housing Fund (the “NHF”) and records the related NHF account in other liabilities. In addition, the Bank pays interest to the NHF, which is computed by multiplying the average balance of the NHF account by the passbook deposit interest rate. With the termination of the NHF designation as of March 31, 2008, the Bank does not manage the new operations related to the NHF except for the operations of the existing funds.
 
Transactions with the Trust Accounts
 
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the Bank recognizes trust accounts (“the Trust Accounts”) as a separate one. The borrowings from trust accounts represent transfer of funds in trust accounts into banking accounts. Such borrowings from trust accounts are recorded as receivables from the banking accounts in the trust accounts and as borrowings from trust accounts in the banking accounts. The Bank’s banking accounts receive trust fees from the trust accounts for its management of trust assets and operations. The reserves for future losses are set up in the trust accounts for losses related to those trust funds with a guarantee of the principal or of a certain minimum rate of return in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations applicable to trust operations. The reserves are used to provide for the losses on such trust funds and, if the losses incurred are in excess of the reserves for future losses, the excess losses are compensated by the Bank. Accordingly, the banking accounts recognize the compensation paid as a loss on trust management in other operating expenses and the trust accounts recognize the corresponding compensation as compensation from banking accounts.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense includes the tax currently payable under the relevant income tax law and the changes in deferred income tax assets or liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for temporary differences which will decrease future taxable income and net operating loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that such deferred income tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax effects applicable to items in the shareholders’ equity are directly reflected in the shareholders’ equity account.

Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
 
The Bank maintains its accounts in Korean won. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Korean won based on the basic rate of exchange on the transaction date. The Korean won equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in these financial statements based on the basic rates of W1,284.7 and W1,257.5 to US$1.00 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, as announced by Seoul Money Brokerage Service, Ltd. or cross rates for other currencies other than U.S. Dollars at the statements of financial position dates. Financial statements of overseas branches are translated based on the basic rate at statements of financial position dates as those branches independently keep accounting records denominated in local currencies.

(1) KB Life Insurance Co., Ltd. became a subsidiary of KB Financial Group Inc. and Kookmin Bank Singapore Ltd. has been liquidated as of June 30, 2009. As a result, the Bank recognized gain on disposal of equity method investments amounting to W67,594 million and W626 million, respectively.
 
(2) The difference of W460,212 million between the initial cost of the investment and the Bank’s initial proportionate ownership in the net book value of the investment is amortized over five years using the straight-line method of which W40,463 million was charged to current earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. Also, the impairment loss of W100,352 million was recognized for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, which reduced the remaining balance to W280,938 million as of June 30, 2009. In addition, loss on fair value hedge amounting to W135,805 million is included in foreign exchange trading expenses.
 
(3) The equity method is no longer applied to securities of KLB Securities Co., Ltd. and Jooeun Industrial Co., Ltd. due to their accumulated deficit, resulting to book values below zero.
 
The unrecognized accumulated deficit and accumulative change due to the equity method as of June 30, 2009, are as follows:

The Bank discontinued applying the equity method to its investment in KB Life Insurance Co., Ltd., which became a wholly owned subsidiary of KB Financial Group Inc. in June 2009, as the book value of the equity method investment became zero. However, in accordance with the Detailed Enforcement Rules on Supervision of Banking Business, certain trust accounts whose principal or fixed rate of return are guaranteed, are included in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the current earnings and net assets reported in the non-consolidated financial statements do not coincide with the proportionate ownership of the controlling entity in the current earnings and net assets reported in the consolidated financial statements. The difference between the Bank’s proportionate ownership in net income of consolidated financial statements and net income of non-consolidated financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounts to W(-)18,301 million and W14,505 million, respectively, and the difference between the Bank’s proportionate ownership in the net assets of the consolidated financial statements and the net assets of the non-consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, amounts to W(-)71,878 million and W(-)44,201 million, respectively.

For loans that were restructured through interest rate reduction, the discount rate used to estimate the present value of the future cash flows for fixed rate loans is the effective interest rates at inception, and for floating rate loans, it is the interest rate that was applicable to the borrower at the loan origination date plus the credit spread at the date of the loan restructuring assuming the credit risk of the borrower is still valid at the date of restructuring. The difference between the book value and the present value is adjusted in the related allowances for loan losses.

The expected weighted average exercise period was separately estimated for directors and employees in order to reflect the possibility of an early exercise. The historical stock price volatility during the respective expected exercise period was applied to the calculation of the expected stock price volatility. Also, the cross volatility of stock price between KB Financial Group Inc. (the Bank before October 10, 2008) and competitors was applied to reflect the fluctuation of the exercise price by stock price of competitors.

Meanwhile, the Bank determined the fair value by using historical stock price volatility with the same period as the exercisable period for expected volatility and the current stock price of June 30, 2009, for the underlying asset price. Additionally, the average three-year historical dividend rate was used as expected dividend rate.
 
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the accrued expenses representing share-based payments amounted to W6,830 million and W2,656 million, respectively, and the intrinsic value of the vested share option

amounted to W1,438 million and W364 million, respectively. The compensation cost amounting to W4,542 million was recorded as general and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, and the compensation cost amounting to W7,013 million was reversed during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.
 
19.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
(1) The Bank holds written-off loans, of which the claim to borrowers and guarantors have not been terminated, amounting to W11,308,543 million and W11,585,392 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
(2) As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank recorded receivables amounting to W5,041,410 million and W4,560,352 million, respectively, and payables amounting to W5,037,742 million and W4,561,021 million, respectively, for unsettled foreign currency spot transactions, respectively.
 
(3) As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank has commitments to provide lines of credit of up to W162,582 million and W210,282 million, respectively, and to purchase commercial papers of up to W633,400 million and W1,129,300 million, respectively, with several special purpose companies(“SPC”). As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, under these commitments, extended loans amounted to W395 million and W2,210 million, respectively, and purchased commercial papers amounted to W471,800 million as of December 31, 2008. The Bank has credit preservation procedures, such as special agreements for repurchase, trust guarantees, cash and securities reservation and so on, in cases when the Bank becomes obligated to make payments in accordance with these commitments. The expected loss from the commitments amounting to W340 million and W2,367 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, is recorded as other allowances. In addition, unused credit in foreign currency amounts to W9,505,636 million and W10,043,623 million, and the unused credit, excluding the unused line of credit subject for other allowances, amounts to W848,217 million and W935,458 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
(4) On December 17, 2008, the Bank agreed to subscribe W1,037,826 million in private indirect reinvestment trusts for the stabilization of bond markets. The Bank subscribed W518,913 million during 2008 and the remaining amount to be subscribed is W518,913 million as of June 30, 2009.
 
(5) The Bank has filed 81 lawsuits (excluding minor lawsuits in relation to the collection of loans or operating activities), as a plaintiff, involving the total claims of W269,397 million and faces 188 lawsuits (excluding minor lawsuits in relation to the collection of loans or operating activities), as a defendant, involving the total damages of W1,242,607 million, which arose in the normal course of the business and are still pending as of June 30, 2009.
 
The Korea Lottery Service Inc. (“KLS”) filed lawsuits against the Bank in relation to the commitment fees (3 cases with the total damages of W599,713 million). However, in substance, the government (lottery fund) is responsible for the commitment fees. The Bank expects that the lawsuits would not affect its financial position even if the court rules in favor of the plaintiff. In the first case seeking damages of W19,557 million, the Seoul High Court ordered the Bank to pay the commitment fee of W4,495 million, related interest to KLS in the second trial. The third trial is currently pending at the Supreme Court as of June 30, 2009. In the second case seeking damages of W445,877 million, the court ordered the Bank to pay the commitment fee of W122,740 million and related interest to KLS in the first trial; the second trial is ongoing as of June 30, 2009. The third case seeking damages of W134,279 million is currently ongoing in its first trial as of June 30, 2009.
 
The government filed a civil lawsuit against KLS, an accounting firm and the Bank (responsible party) seeking the total damages of W320,800 million. The plaintiff contends that the excessive payment of lottery service commission fees were due to illegal act of the Bank’s employees and others. The court decided in favor of Bank in its first trial on April 23, 2009. Also, on June 25, 2009, the Supreme Court declared the Bank’s employees as not guilty in its third trial of the criminal lawsuit filed by the Korea Prosecutory Authorities against the Bank’s employees. However, the Korea Prosecutory Authorities appealed to the Supreme Court on the above decision on May 13, 2009. It is uncertain as to whether the Bank will be ultimately liable for the damages in the aforementioned lawsuit, and no estimate can be made of the amount of the potential liabilities as of June 30, 2009.

In 2008, the government also filed a civil lawsuit against National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (“Nonghyup” or “NACF”) and the Bank for the return of W116,646 million of commission fee, claiming that the commission fee related to the management of the National Housing Fund was unduly assessed. The court decided in favor of Bank on January 9, 2009. However, the government appealed to the High Court for second trial against the above decision on January 30, 2009 and currently the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit cannot yet be determined.
 
(6) The Bank entered into the credit card business cooperation agreements with Citibank Korea and Nonghyup. Accordingly, the revenue from credit card business operation is proportionately shared among each company.
 
(7) In 2008, the Bank purchased 29,972,840 outstanding shares of Joint Stock Company, Bank CenterCredit (Kazakhstan) from an existing shareholder, and additional new shares of 14,163,836 (including forfeited shares of 10,298,558). As a result, the Bank currently holds 30.55% (44,136,676 shares) of the total issued shares and plans to increase its percentage of shareholding to at least 50.1% within the following 30 months of initial purchase date.
 
(8) The face value of the securities sold to general customers through tellers’ sale amounts to W201,788 million and W257,340 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
(9) In 2007, the Bank was subject to regular tax audit by the Seoul Regional Tax Office. Consequently, income taxes and others of W438,975 million were imposed and paid. However, as of June 30, 2009, the Bank has filed a legal appeal against this.
 
(10) The Bank has filed a suit against the Korean Tax Authorities for revocation of refusal disposition on rectification of 2003 corporate tax. On July 9, 2009, the Supreme Court entered a judgment in favor of the Bank. Pursuant to the court’s judgment, the Bank will be refunded for about W192,346 million, including W98,869 million which is already recognized as deferred income tax assets.

The Bank uses various derivative instruments for trading activities and hedging activities, such as foreign exchange risks, interest rate risks in relation to securities and debentures and risks in interest rate changes of customers. The unsettled notional amount and the valuation gain or loss for hedging transactions are accounted for pursuant to the Interpretations on Financial Accounting Standards 53-70, Accounting for Derivative Instruments.
 
Derivative instruments for subordinated bonds in won, structured bonds, structured deposits, off-shore financial bonds and equity method investments in foreign currency are accounted for as fair value hedges. The Bank recognized W234,688 million and W132,795 million as gain on valuation of fair value hedged items and W187,634 million and W11,681 million of loss on valuation of fair value hedged items for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the interest rate swap and the currency forwards cover the fair value changes of the hedged items resulting from the fluctuation in interest and exchange rate. The difference between the net amount of the valuation gain (loss) on the interest rate swap and the currency forwards designated as the fair value hedging instrument and structured bonds and equity method investments in foreign currency as the
