3. Transactions between Offeror and Target Company

As of the Filing Date, no credit extensions or similar arrangements have been made in favor of the Offeror.

III. Purpose of Tender Offer and Future Plan

 

1. Purpose of Tender Offer

 

A. Purpose, Background and Process of Tender Offer

The Offeror has been focusing on strengthening its non-banking business in order to become more competitive as a comprehensive financial group. To this end, it acquired 19.47% of the shares of the Target Company on June 24, 2015, gaining control and becoming its largest shareholder.

The Offeror and the Target Company have determined that, in light of an increasingly uncertain industry environment caused by changes in insurance sector regulations, in order for the Target Company to maximize its business & sales synergies with its affiliates and achieve increased competitiveness and sustained growth, it is necessary for the Target Company to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror. Accordingly, after reviewing the aforementioned business synergies and their effects at their respective BOD meetings on April 14, 2017, the Offeror and the Target Company decided to engage in a comprehensive stock swap to make the Target Company a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror.

<Overview of Stock Swap>

 

Legal Basis    Article 360-2 through Article 360-10 of the Commercial Code, Article 165-4 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (“FSCMA”), Article 62-2 of the Financial Holding Companies Act
Stock Swap Details   

Pursuant to a comprehensive stock swap, shareholders of the Target Company will transfer common shares of the Target Company to the Offeror and, in exchange for such transfer, the Offeror will allocate newly issued shares or treasury shares of the Offeror to the shareholders of the Target Company.

 

*  As a result of the stock swap, the Offeror will own 100% of the shares of the Target Company.

Stock Swap Ratio    0.5728700 common shares of the Offeror per one common share of the Target Company
Date of Stock Swap    July 3, 2017 (expected)

For further details on the aforementioned stock swap, please refer to the Offeror’s Current Report on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov) on April 14, 2017. Also, for further information necessary for making an investment decision, including information regarding the risks of investment, please refer to the Offeror’s Form CB, which will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov) at a later date.

If the stock swap proceeds after the Tender Offer as planned, with such stock swap being approved by special resolution at the shareholders’ meeting of the Target Company in accordance with the Commercial Code and the Financial Holding Companies Act, the Target Company will become wholly owned by the Offeror as of July 3, 2017 and the Target Company will be delisted. Please note however that the timing of the stock swap and the delisting could change depending on, among other things, discussions with the FSS and the Korea Exchange.

 

28


The Offeror plans to undertake the Tender Offer and acquire additional shares from the shareholders of the Target Company, together with the contemplated stock swap, in order to secure an adequate number of shares for approval of the stock swap at the shareholders’ meeting and in order to provide the shareholders of the Target Company with an opportunity to dispose of their shares at the Tender Offer Price, which is inclusive of a premium compared to the current market price. By doing so, the Offeror intends to provide the shareholders of the Target Company with various opportunities to dispose of their shares in the Target Company, i.e., by tendering their shares in the Tender Offer and receiving a premium, by participating in the stock swap and receiving shares of the Offeror if the stock swap is approved, or by exercising their dissent and appraisal rights with respect to the proposed stock swap.

Neither the Offeror nor the Target Company is required to obtain any prior authorizations or approvals from the FSC or the Korea Fair Trade Commission in connection with the Tender Offer.

 

2. Future Plan

 

A. Future Plan

Through the Tender Offer and subsequently scheduled comprehensive stock swap, the Offeror plans to acquire 100% of the Target Company’s equity and make the Target Company its wholly-owned subsidiary. If the comprehensive stock swap is carried out as scheduled, the Target Company will be delisted.

By making the Target Company its wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to the Tender Offer and the stock swap, the Offeror intends to establish a more efficient management system capable of responding more flexibly to external changes and to strengthen management efficiency through faster and more flexible decision making. In addition, as the Offeror has wholly-owned subsidiaries engaged in various financial service sectors including banking, credit cards, securities, real estate trust and life insurance, by adding the Target Company to its group of wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Offeror seeks to maximize synergies by facilitating collaboration between the Target Company and the other subsidiaries. In particular, the Offeror intends to continuously expand its non-banking businesses in order to effectively respond to the overall decline in net interest margin in the Korean banking sector resulting from the long-term low interest rates incidental to the prolonged global economic recession. At the same time, the Offeror intends to endeavor to generate stable profits at each of its subsidiaries.

As such, after making the Target Company its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Offeror intends to increase the competitiveness of the Target Company and, in turn, strengthen its non-banking businesses so that both the Target Company and the Offeror may become leading financial institutions in the Korean financial market.

 

29


B. Plans With Respect to Shares Acquired in Tender Offer

The Offeror does not have any near-term plan to transfer any shares of the Target Company acquired through the Tender Offer to a third party and has not entered into any agreement with any third party regarding such a near-term transfer.

 

3. Impact of Tender Offer on Target Company and Shares

 

A. Relevant details if the Target Company will be newly subject to regulations under the Fair Trade Act after the Tender Offer to which regulations the Target Company had not been subject before the Tender Offer

Not applicable.

 

B. Relevant details in case the shares for which the Tender Offer is being made may satisfy requirements for delisting from the relevant stock exchange after completion of the Tender Offer

Currently, the comprehensive stock swap has been approved by the BOD, and accordingly, the comprehensive stock swap procedures are underway. Therefore, after the Tender Offer, if the shareholders of the Target Company approve the comprehensive stock swap at the shareholders’ meeting (approval of the shareholders of the Offeror is not necessary as the Offeror satisfies the requirements for a small-scale stock swap), the Offeror will become the complete parent company of the Target Company and thus the shares of the Target Company will be delisted. The common shares of the Target Company will be delisted on the same day on which the common shares of the Offeror that have been issued as part of the stock swap become listed.

 

C. Relevant details of any pending lawsuits, to which the Offeror or the Target Company is a direct party, that may affect a change of control or the Tender Offer

Not applicable.

F. Tax Matters

The Tender Offer Price will be transferred to the account opened by each Shareholder with the Tender Offer Agent; provided that a securities transaction tax at a rate of 0.5% and any other applicable taxes will be deducted or withheld therefrom.

Please note that since the Tender Offer is considered an over-the-counter (OTC) transaction, Shareholders who are resident individuals may be subject to capital gains tax under the Income Tax Act. Capital gains tax needs to be declared and paid directly by the applicable shareholder. Please refer to the relevant tax laws for details regarding whether or not capital gains tax will be imposed, the specific tax base and rate and the method of declaration and payment.

In the case of a non-resident Shareholder (including foreign corporations having no permanent establishment in Korea), the applicable law may require the Tender Offer Agent to withhold certain applicable capital gains taxes and surtaxes, unless (i) an applicable tax treaty provides the Shareholder with an exemption from such capital gains for the sale of shares and (ii) all actions necessary to qualify for such an exemption shall have been taken by the Shareholder.

Such non-resident shall bear the burden of proving whether the non-resident is subject to the exemption under a tax treaty and whether relevant actions have been taken and relevant documents are true and correct. In the case where the non-resident provides insufficient proof or fails to prove qualification, the Tender Offer Agent as withholding agent may not exempt the non-resident from withholdings.

 

G. Governmental or Court Permit, License or Approval Required for Tender Offer

No governmental or court permits, licenses or approvals are required for the Offeror to acquire the Target Company’s shares.

 

H. Amending Terms of Tender Offer

Subject to applicable law, the Offeror may amend the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer at any time on or prior to the last day of the tender offer period by filing an amendment to this Tender Offer Statement. However, as set forth in Article 136, Paragraph 3 of the FSCMA, the Offeror may not amend the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer if the amendment would do any of the following:

 

  reduce the purchase price;

 

  reduce the target number of shares;

 

  extend the date for payment of the Tender Offer Price, with certain exceptions;

 

  shorten the tender offer period; or

 

  change the type of consideration to be given to Shareholders (except by adding an additional type of consideration which Shareholders can select).

 

3. Withdrawal of Tender Offer (Exceptional Grounds)

Once the tender offer period commences, the Offeror may withdraw its Tender Offer only if a basis for withdrawal prescribed under Article 139, Paragraph 1 of the FSCMA and Article 150 of the Enforcement Decree of the FSCMA arises at any time on or prior to the expiration of the tender offer period. If the Tender Offer is withdrawn, public notice of such withdrawal, including an explanation of the basis for withdrawal, must be provided in at least two daily newspapers in Korea.

VII. Description of Prior Discussion with Offeror

The Offeror, the largest shareholder of the Target Company, wishes to conduct this Tender Offer to acquire the shares of the Target Company. Immediately prior to the filing of this Tender Offer Statement, the Offeror notified the Target Company and its representative director of the purpose, objective and overview of the Tender Offer contemplated herein. This Tender Offer is commenced at the initiative of the Offeror and any and all decisions made in connection with this Tender Offer are made by the responsible officers and employees of the Offeror.

 

1. Prior Consultation Between Offeror and Target Company

The Offeror and the Target Company have determined that, in light of an increasingly uncertain industry environment caused by changes in insurance sector regulations, in order for the Target Company to maximize its business & sales synergies with its affiliates and achieve increased competitiveness and sustained growth, it is necessary for the Target Company to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror. Accordingly, after reviewing the aforementioned business synergies and effects at their respective BOD meetings on April 14, 2017, the Offeror and the Target Company decided to engage in a comprehensive stock swap to make the Target Company a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror.

Please refer to “III. Purpose of Tender Offer and Future Plan” for the purpose, backgrounds and procedures and plans in connection with this Tender Offer, which is being carried out together with the comprehensive stock swap intended to integrate the Target Company as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror.

2. Conflict of Interest between Offeror and Shareholders, Officers or Employees of Target Company

The Offeror is the largest shareholder of the Target Company and there is no conflict of interest between the Offeror and the shareholders, officers or employees of the Target Company in connection with this Tender Offer.
