Calculation criteria and method

Kyung Yup Cho   Earned Income   Salary   105   The base salary of Won 210 was determined based on the Company’s internal policy, “Executive Officers’ Operational Regulations,” and a monthly salary of Won 17.5 million was paid each month in the first half (January to June) of 2018.

    Bonus   449  

Won 104 million was based on performance in 2017 and paid as a short-term performance-based incentive payment and Won 345 million was based on performance from 2015 to 2017 and paid as a long-term performance-based incentive payment.

 

The long- and short-term performance-based incentive payment programs and the performance evaluation are determined based on resolutions of the Evaluation & Compensation Committee, which serves under the board of directors.

 

The annual performance evaluation index comprises financial results and non-financial results related to applicable work. The amount of the short-term performance-based incentive payment is determined based on the aggregate score of such index items and is within the range of 0%-120% of the base salary.

 

With respect to financial results, the achievements considered included the enhancement of the Company’s business portfolio by successfully adding wholly-owned subsidiaries, KB Insurance and KB Capital, which helped the Company to exceed its goals for financial performance in 2017.

 

With respect to non-financial results, the major achievements considered included enhancing the Company’s sustainability by conducting essential research.

 

The long-term performance evaluation index comprises relative total shareholder returns, the Company’s performance, and the results of the work performed. The amount of the long-term performance-based incentive payment is determined based on the aggregate score of such index items and is within the range of 0%-100% of the base salary.

 

The maximum number of shares of long-term performance-based incentive payment is determined based on the fair market price of the Company’s shares on the date of employment. The number of shares of long-term incentive payment is determined based on the aggregate score of the index items above for the previous two years. The actual payment amount is determined based on the fair market price of the Company’s shares on the date of payment.

 

Regarding the long-term performance evaluation index, relative total shareholder return took into account the fact that the price of the Company’s shares increased more than the industry average during the term of the contract (July 17, 2015 to July 16, 2017), and the Company’s performance and the results of the work performed reflected the arithmetic average of the annual evaluation results.
