Through these activities, he ensured the organization activities in diverse fields to be conducted properly and increased the work efficiency of the organizations. Apart from these, he actively worked in various positions including at parliamentary expense regulation committee and code of conduct advisory committee, which both were commissioned from the Chungju city council. With his experience in various fields, he will be able to supervise the overall management of the company with thorough inspection, fulfilling his role of checks and balances.

He worked as a professor of public administration for a decade including his time at Konkuk University and as an operation director at the Korean Association for Public Administration, focusing on studying and advising public administration and policy of public entities. Through these experiences, he honed his knowledge and expertise in public policy and its management. He developed and acquired in-depth insights in particular aspects in the governance of public institutions that involve different stakeholders. His studies and researches, ‘Determinants of public servants’ attitude toward collaborative governance’ and ‘Role possibilities of public officials’ labor unions in governance system’, reflect his in-depth expertise. He will put his best effort into enhancing monitoring process of the business activities of KEPCO from a balanced perspective by taking the views of various stakeholders into account.

In addition, the nominee has deep understanding in applying risk management process and communicating skills to tackle the emergencies, especially in the electric power industry and nuclear power plants.

Subject to the approval and appointment, the nominee is expected to independently monitor and oversee KEPCO’s management as one of the Audit Committee members for the term of two years. He will hold a non-executive position as an independent director, and he will not engage in the day-to-day management.

Appendix. Other Information on the Audit Committee of KEPCO

Under the Board of Directors, KEPCO maintains an Audit Committee pursuant to the Act on the Management of Public Institutions. The Audit Committee conducts an audit on KEPCO’s business and accounting, and report the results to the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee holds regular meetings on a quarterly basis and also on an as-needed basis. Eleven Audit Committee meetings were held in 2022, and thirteen Audit Committee meetings were held in 2021.

The structure of our Audit Committee meets the requirements of independence under the related laws and regulations in Korea and the US.

• Two-thirds of the Audit Committee members are non-standing directors, and the chairperson is appointed from the non-standing directors.

• Korean Commercial Act allows the companies to elect one-third of Audit Committee members as a standing director, on the condition that he or she meets the independence requirements thereunder.

• Sarbanes-Oxley Act and NYSE Listed Company Manual do not restrict companies from appointing a standing director in the Audit Committee, unless the member is ineligible due to independence issues.

In addition, each member of our Audit Committee satisfies the following independence requirements. The standing director as Comptroller & Auditor General in our Audit Committee is appointed from outside the company, with no work experience in KEPCO or its affiliated companies.

• After appointment, he or she takes the roles to monitor the top management as an independent non-executive officer. Other than he or she works for KEPCO in full-time capacity, his or her role is different from the other standing directors who concurrently work as executive officers.

• Korean Commercial Act regards a director is not independent if he or she is engaged in or has been engaged in the company within the last two years. Sarbanes-Oxley Act and NYSE Listed Company Manual define the independence of a director on the basis of the director’s engagement in the company as an employee or executive officer before the appointment or the director’s transaction with the company.

We believe that having a standing director who is independent and non-executive as Comptroller & Auditor General in our Audit Committee will bring the better understanding of business to the Committee and enable the Committee to better detect potential risks of the company.

• The audit scope can be broader and deeper because his or her roles and responsibilities are not limited to the accounting and financial audit, but also include oversight and inspection of KEPCO’s overall work. We believe it is more efficient to have one standing director who is independent and non-executive in our Audit Committee for the stricter risk monitoring of our day-to-day management activities in all material matters, and it is believed to better protect value of our shareholders as well.

The standing director who is independent and non-executive as Comptroller & Auditor General in our Audit Committee takes on the role of checks and balances by monitoring the management of the company, independently from the company on an equal status with the CEO. He or she has the rights and responsibilities to check and inspect all the material financial and non-financial matters and policies before CEO’s final decisions or approvals. He or she is not required to report to nor controlled by the CEO.
