The rationale for calculation of the issue price of the common shares (the “Shares”) being issued as a result of this paid-in capital increase and other matters that may be considered in making investment decision are as follows:

- According to Article 5-18(2) of the Korean Regulation on the Issuance of Securities and Disclosure of Information (the “Securities Regulation”), in case of a paid-in capital increase by allocation to third parties, the issue price of new shares may be calculated by applying a discount rate determined by the issuing company to the base share price that is equivalent to (i) the arithmetic average of weighted arithmetic average share prices of the issuing company during (a) 1 month, (b) 1 week and (c) 1 day prior to the date of board resolution approving the paid-in capital increase (or, if there already exists a board resolution determining the issue price, the date thereof) or (ii) weighted arithmetic average share price of the issuing company on the day preceding the date of such board resolution, whichever is lower, provided that (in each case of (i) and (ii)) the issue of the new shares is subject to the performance of measures prescribed in the former part of Article 2-2(2)1 of the Securities Regulation.

Therefore, the Company has determined the base share price as the lower of (i) the arithmetic average of weighted arithmetic average share prices of the issuing company during (a) 1 month, (b) 1 week and (c) 1 day prior to the date of board resolution (which is September 4, 2020) or (ii) weighted arithmetic average share price of the issuing company on the day preceding the date of such board resolution, pursuant to Article 5-18(2) (Determination of Issue Price on Paid-in Capital Increase) of the Securities Regulation.

(Final) Issue Price: Calculated by applying a discount rate of 2.0% to the base share price determined in the above manner.

- With the aforementioned capital increase, the Company plans to proactively build a sufficient capital buffer in preparation for changes and uncertainty in the business environment, including with regards to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and attract and partner with global investors to pursue new sources of growth. In addition, the Company plans to pursue the following mid- to long-term capital management policy to provide investors, including our shareholders, with greater predictability.

1) The Company expects to implement the following capital management policy, at the Company’s discretion, if and when the global and Korean economies start to normalize from the economic recession amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
