THE KOREA DEVELOPMENT BANK

Overview

We were established in 1954 as a government-owned financial institution pursuant to The Korea Development Bank Act, as amended (the “KDB Act”). Since our establishment, we have been the leading bank in the Republic with respect to the provision of long-term financing for projects designed to assist the nation’s economic growth and development. The Government indirectly owns all of our paid-in capital. Our registered office is located at 16-3 Youido-dong, Youngdeungpo-gu, Seoul, The Republic of Korea.

In June 2008, the Financial Services Commission announced the Government’s preliminary plan for our privatization and, in May 2009, the KDB Act was amended to facilitate our privatization. The preliminary plan reflected the Government’s intention to nurture a more competitive corporate and investment banking sector and trigger reorganization and further advancement of the Korean financial industry.

As a first step in implementing our privatization, the Government established KDB Financial Group, or KDBFG, a financial holding company, and Korea Finance Corporation, or KoFC, a public policy financing vehicle, in October 2009, by spinning off a portion of our assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity. In the spin-off, our interests in Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., KDB Asset Management Co., Ltd. and KDB Capital Corp. were transferred to KDBFG, and our equity holdings in certain government-controlled companies, including Korea Electric Power Corporation, or KEPCO, and certain companies under restructuring programs, including Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., were transferred to KoFC. For more information on the assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity transferred in the spin-off, see “—Selected Financial Statement Data—Spin-off of KDB.” The Government transferred its ownership interest in us to KDBFG in exchange for all of KDBFG’s share capital on November 24, 2009 and contributed 94.27% of KDBFG’s shares to KoFC as a capital contribution on December 30, 2009. In March 2010, the Government made a further capital contribution of (Won)10.0 billion in cash to KDBFG. As a result, as of the date of this prospectus, KoFC, which is wholly owned by the Government, owns 94.2% of KDBFG’s share capital and the Government directly owns the remaining 5.8% of KDBFG’s share capital. KDBFG owns 100.0% of our share capital.

The following diagram shows our ownership structure before and after the spin-off and the share transfer.

Under the KDB Act, as amended in May 2009, the sale of KDBFG’s shares directly or indirectly owned by the Government is to commence by May 2014, and the Government will guarantee the repayment of the principal of and interest on our foreign currency debt with a maturity of one year or more at the time of issuance (“mid-to-long term foreign currency debt”) outstanding (including the notes offered hereby) as of the date of the initial sale of its direct or indirect equity interest in KDBFG, subject to the authorization by the National Assembly of the Government guarantee amount. Pursuant to the KDB Act and the Enforcement Decree of the KDB Act (the “KDB Decree”), the Government may also directly or indirectly guarantee, within the limit and

3

scope determined by the Government and subject to the authorization by the National Assembly, the repayment of the principal of and interest on our mid-to-long term foreign currency debt incurred during the period when the Government directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of KDBFG to refinance our foreign currency debt referred to in the preceding sentence, in the event that (i) the repayment of our outstanding foreign currency debt would be difficult unless the Government provides a guarantee, (ii) the terms and conditions of our newly incurred foreign currency debt would become notably unfavorable unless the Government provides a guarantee or (iii) any other circumstances equivalent to (i) or (ii) above exist, as determined by the Minister of Strategy and Finance. In addition, the Government’s financial support to us stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB Act is expected to remain effective for so long as the Government owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of our share capital. For more information on the Government’s financial support under the KDB Act, see “—Business—Government Support and Supervision.”

We expect that both we and KoFC will perform policy bank roles until the Government through KoFC transfers a controlling stake in KDBFG to unrelated third parties and ceases to hold a majority ownership interest in us. Under the KDB Act, as amended in May 2009, if the Government ceases to be our controlling shareholder, the Government’s financial support to us stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB Act is expected to cease to be provided.

However, the implementation of the Government’s privatization plan may be delayed or changed depending on a variety of factors, such as domestic and international economic conditions, and the timing discussed above is only preliminary and is subject to change. There can be no assurance that such privatization plan will be implemented as contemplated or that the contemplated privatization will be implemented at all. In addition, the Government’s financial support to us under the KDB Act may be discontinued in connection with the privatization and the Government may decide not to provide direct guarantees for the notes offered hereby or otherwise protect our creditworthiness.

Our primary purpose, as stated in the KDB Act, the KDB Decree and our Articles of Incorporation, is to “furnish funds in order to expedite the development of the national economy.” We make loans available to major industries for equipment, capital investment and the development of high technology, as well as for working capital.

As of December 31, 2009, we had (Won)76,211.4 billion of loans outstanding (including loans, call loans, domestic usance, bills of exchange bought, local letters of credit negotiation and loan-type suspense accounts pursuant to the applicable guidelines without adjusting for allowance for possible loan losses, present value discounts and deferred loan fees), total assets of (Won)122,333.4 billion and total shareholders’ equity of (Won)15,110.7 billion, as compared to (Won)77,113.5 billion of loans outstanding, (Won)157,612.7 billion of total assets and (Won)15,715.3 billion of total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2008. In 2009, we recorded interest income of (Won)5,374.5 billion, interest expense of (Won)4,476.9 billion and net income of (Won)761.1 billion, as compared to (Won)5,800.9 billion of interest income, (Won)4,997.1 billion of interest expense and (Won)350.3 billion of net income in 2008. See “—Selected Financial Statement Data.”

Currently, the Government indirectly holds all of our paid-in capital. In addition to contributions to our capital, the Government provides direct financial support for our financing activities, in the form of loans or guarantees. The Government, through KDBFG, our sole shareholder, has the power to elect or dismiss our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, members of our Board of Directors and Auditor. Pursuant to the KDB Act, the Financial Services Commission has supervisory power and authority over matters relating to our general business including, but not limited to, capital adequacy and managerial soundness.

The Government supports our operations pursuant to Article 44 of the KDB Act. Article 44 provides that “the annual net losses of the Korea Development Bank shall be offset each year by the reserve, and if the reserve be insufficient, the deficit shall be replenished by the Government.” As a result of the KDB Act, the Government is generally responsible for our operations and is legally obligated to replenish any deficit that arises if our reserve, consisting of our surplus and capital surplus items, is insufficient to cover our annual net losses. In light

4

of the above, if we had insufficient funds to make any payment under any of our obligations, including the debt securities and guarantees covered by this prospectus, the Government would take appropriate steps, such as by making a capital contribution, by allocating funds or by taking other action, to enable us to make such payment when due. The provisions of Article 44 do not, however, constitute a direct guarantee by the Government of our obligations under the debt securities or the guarantees, and the provisions of the KDB Act, including Article 44, may be amended at any time by action of the National Assembly. If the Government ceases to be our controlling shareholder as a result of our privatization, the Government’s financial support to us stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB Act is expected to cease to be provided.

In January 1998, the Government amended the KDB Act to:

• subordinate our borrowings from the Government to other indebtedness incurred in our operations;

• allow the Government to offset any deficit that arises if our reserve fails to cover our annual net losses by transferring Government-owned property, including securities held by the Government, to us; and

• allow direct injections of capital by the Government without prior National Assembly approval.

The Government amended the KDB Act in May 1999 and the KDB Decree in March 2000, to allow the Financial Services Commission to supervise and regulate us in terms of capital adequacy and managerial soundness.

In March 2002, the Government amended the KDB Act to enable us, among other things, to:

• obtain low-cost funds from The Bank of Korea and from the issuance of debt securities (in addition to already permitted Industrial Finance Bonds), which funds may be used for increased levels of lending to small and medium size enterprises;

• broaden the scope of borrowers to which we may extend working capital loans to include companies in the manufacturing industry, enterprises which are “closely related” to enhancing the corporate competitiveness of the manufacturing industry and leading-edge high-tech companies; and

• extend credits to mergers and acquisitions projects intended to facilitate corporate restructuring efforts.

In July 2005 and May 2009, the Government amended Article 43 of the KDB Act. The revised Article 43 provides that:

(1) our annual net profit, after adequate allowances are made for depreciation in assets, shall be distributed as follows:

(i) forty percent or more of the net profit shall be credited to reserve, until the reserve amounts equal the total amount of paid-in capital; and

(ii) any net profit remaining following the apportionment required under subparagraph (i) above shall be distributed in accordance with the resolution of our Board of Directors and the approval of our shareholders;

(2) accumulated amounts in reserve may be capitalized; and

(3) any distributions made in accordance with paragraph (1)(ii) above may be in the form of cash dividends or dividends in kind, provided that any distributions of dividends in kind must be made in accordance with applicable provisions of the KDB Decree.

In February 2008, the Government further amended the KDB Act, primarily to transfer most of the Government’s supervisory authority over us from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (formerly the Ministry of Finance and Economy) to the Financial Services Commission.

5

In May 2009, the Government amended the KDB Act to facilitate our privatization. The amendment provided for, among others:

• the preparation for the transformation of us from a special statutory entity into a corporation, including the application of the Banking Act as applicable;

• the expansion of our operation scope that enables us to engage in commercial banking activities, including retail banking;

• the provision of government guarantees for our mid-to-long term foreign currency debt outstanding at the time of initial sale of the Government’s stake in KDBFG (subject to the National Assembly’s authorization of the Government guarantee amount) and possible guarantees for our foreign currency debt incurred for the refinancing of such mid-to-long term foreign currency debt with the government guarantee during the period when the Government owns more than 50% of our shares; and

• the establishment of KDBFG and KoFC and application of the Financial Holding Company Act to KDBFG.

The revised KDB Act, which was filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, became effective as of June 1, 2009.

The Minister of Strategy and Finance of the Republic has, on behalf of the Republic, signed the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Business

Purpose and Authority

Since our establishment, we have been the leading bank in the Republic in providing long-term financing for projects designed to assist the nation’s economic growth and development.

Under the KDB Act, the KDB Decree and our Articles of Incorporation, our primary purpose is to “furnish funds for the expansion of the national economy.” Since we serve the public policy objectives of the Government, we do not seek to maximize profits. We do, however, strive to maintain a level of profitability to strengthen our equity base and support growth in the volume of our business.

Under the KDB Act, we may:

• carry out activities necessary to accomplish the expansion of the national economy, subject to the approval of the Financial Services Commission;

• provide loans or discount notes;

• subscribe to, underwrite or invest in securities;

• guarantee or assume indebtedness;

• raise funds by accepting demand deposits and time and savings deposits from the general public, issuing securities, borrowing from the Government, The Bank of Korea or other financial institutions, and borrowing from overseas;

• execute foreign exchange transactions, including currency and interest swap transactions;

• provide planning, management, research and other support services at the request of the Government, public bodies, financial institutions or enterprises; and

• carry out other businesses incidental to the foregoing.

Government Support and Supervision

The Government owns indirectly all of our paid-in capital. On February 20, 2000, the Government contributed (Won)100 billion in cash to our capital. On December 29, 2000, we reduced our paid-in capital by (Won)959.8 billion to offset our expected net loss for the year. To compensate for the resulting deficit under the KDB Act, on June 20, 2001, the Government contributed (Won)3 trillion in the form of shares of common stock of KEPCO to our capital. On December 29, 2001, the Government contributed (Won)50 billion in cash to our capital. On August 13, 2003, the Government contributed (Won)80 billion in cash to our capital to support our existing fund for facilitating the Republic’s regional economies. On April 30, 2004, the Government contributed (Won)1 trillion in the form of shares of common stock of KEPCO and Korea Water Resources Corporation to our capital to support our lending to small-and medium-sized companies and to compensate for our contribution to LG Card Ltd. in the form of loans, cash injections and debt-for-equity swaps. On December 19, 2008, the Government contributed (Won)500 billion in the form of shares of common stock of Korea Expressway Corporation to our capital and, in January 2009, the Government contributed (Won)900 billion in cash to our capital, in each case to bolster our capital base in order to stabilize the Korean financial market by supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and providing increased liquidity to corporations. In October 2009, our paid-in capital decreased by (Won)400.0 billion in connection with the establishment by the Government of KDBFG and KoFC by spinning off a portion of our assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity (including paid-in capital) as described under the heading “Overview” and “Selected Financial Statement Data” in this prospectus. Taking into account these capital contributions and reduction, as of December 31, 2009, our total paid-in capital was (Won)9,241.9 billion. See “—Financial Statements and the Auditors—Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements of December 31, 2009 and 2008—Note 17.” In March 2010, the Government, through KDBFG, made a further capital contribution of (Won)10.0 billion in cash to our capital.

7

In addition to capital contributions, the Government directly supports our financing activities by:

• lending us funds to on-lend;

• allowing us to administer Government loans made from a range of special Government funds;

• allowing us to administer some of The Bank of Korea’s surplus foreign exchange holdings; and

• allowing us to receive credit from The Bank of Korea.

The Government also supports our operations pursuant to Articles 43 and 44 of the KDB Act. Article 43 provides that “40% or more of the annual net profit of the Korea Development Bank shall be transferred to reserve, until the reserve amounts equal the total amount of paid-in capital” and that accumulated amounts in reserve may be capitalized. Article 44 provides that “the net losses of the Korea Development Bank shall be offset each fiscal year by the reserve, and if the reserve be insufficient, the deficit shall be replenished by the Government.”

As a result of the KDB Act, the Government is generally responsible for our operations and is legally obligated to replenish any deficit that arises if our reserve, consisting of our surplus and capital surplus items, is insufficient to cover our annual net losses. In light of the above, if we had insufficient funds to make any payment under any of our obligations, including the debt securities and the guarantees covered by this prospectus, the Government would take appropriate steps, such as by making a capital contribution, by allocating funds or by taking other action, to enable us to make such payment when due. The provisions of Article 44 do not, however, constitute a direct guarantee by the Government of our obligations under the debt securities or the guarantees, and the provisions of the KDB Act, including Article 44, may be amended at any time by action of the National Assembly. If the Government ceases to be our controlling shareholder as a result of our privatization, the Government’s financial support to us stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB Act is expected to cease to be provided.

When the initial sale by the Government of its equity interest in KDBFG is made by May 2014 in accordance with the KDB Act, as amended in May 2009, the Government will guarantee the repayment of the principal of and interest on our mid-to-long term foreign currency debt outstanding (including the notes offered hereby) as of the date of the initial sale of its equity interest in KDBFG, subject to the authorization by the National Assembly of the Government guarantee amount, pursuant to Article 18-2 of the KDB Act. In addition, under Article 18-2 of the KDB Act, the Government may directly or indirectly guarantee, within the limit and scope determined by the Government and subject to the authorization by the National Assembly, the repayment of the principal of and interest on our mid-to-long term foreign currency debt incurred during the period when the Government directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of KDBFG to refinance our foreign currency debt referred to in the preceding sentence, in the event that (i) the repayment of our outstanding foreign currency debt would be difficult unless the Government provides a guarantee, (ii) the terms and conditions of our newly incurred foreign currency debt would become notably unfavorable unless the Government provides a guarantee or (iii) any other circumstances equivalent to (i) or (ii) above exist, as determined by the Minister of Strategy and Finance.

The Government closely supervises our operations in the following ways:

• the Government, through KDBFG, our sole shareholder, has the power to elect or dismiss our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, members of our Board of Directors and Auditor;

• within three months after the end of each fiscal year, we must submit our financial statements for the fiscal year to the Financial Services Commission;

• the Financial Services Commission has broad authority to require reports from us on any matter and to examine our books, records and other documents. On the basis of the reports and examinations, the Financial Services Commission may issue any orders deemed necessary to enforce the KDB Act;

• the Financial Services Commission must approve our operating manual, which sets out the guidelines for all principal operating matters;

8

• the Financial Services Commission may supervise our operations to ensure managerial soundness based upon the KDB Decree and the Bank Supervisory Regulations of the Financial Services Commission and may issue orders deemed necessary for such supervision; and

• we may amend our Articles of Incorporation only with the approval of the Financial Services Commission.

In addition, the conditions of the IMF aid package stated that domestic banks in the Republic, including us, should undergo external audits from internationally recognized accounting firms. Accordingly, we have had our annual financial statements for years commencing 1998 audited by an external auditor. See “—Financial Statements and the Auditors” and “Experts.”

Pursuant to our most recently approved program of operations, we expect to support the reform and restructuring of the Republic’s economic and industrial structure, including financing of promising small and medium sized enterprises, providing export finance and encouraging investments in infrastructure necessary to promote consumer demand and industrial reorganization.

(2) Borrowings include borrowings and industrial finance bonds.

As of October 27, 2009, our total assets after the spin-off decreased by 16.8% to (Won)126,254.4 billion from (Won)151,735.4 billion before the spin-off, primarily due to a 38.1% decrease in securities to (Won)33,791.4 billion from (Won)54,556.8 billion, which was attributable to the transfer of (Won)17,432.1 billion of equity securities and (Won)1,753.7 billion of debt securities to KoFC and (Won)1,579.6 billion of equity securities to KDBFG in connection with the spin-off.

As of October 27, 2009, our total liabilities after the spin-off decreased by 16.0% to (Won)111,588.2 billion from (Won)132,919.2 billion before the spin-off, primarily due to a 19.6% decrease in borrowings to (Won)82,289.7 billion from (Won)102,380.6 billion, which was attributable to the transfer of (Won)19,640.9 billion of borrowings (including (Won)16,795.0 billion of industrial finance bonds) to KoFC and (Won)450.0 billion of borrowings to KDBFG in connection with the spin-off.

As of October 27, 2009, our total shareholders’ equity after the spin-off decreased by 22.1% to (Won)14,666.2 billion from (Won)18,816.2 billion before the spin-off, primarily due to a decrease in retained earnings by (Won)2,824.6 billion, which was mainly attributable to the transfer of (Won)1,973.4 billion of retained earnings to KoFC and (Won)851.2 billion of retained earnings to KDBFG in connection with the spin-off.

Net Income	866.4

From January 1, 2009 to October 27, 2009, we recorded net income of (Won)866.4 billion before the spin-off. Principal factors for the net income for such period include (a) net gain on disposal of available-for-sale securities of (Won)601.7 billion, primarily due to gains from the sale of our equity interest in Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, Hyundai Engineering & Construction and SK Networks, (b) net valuation gain on equity method investments of (Won)525.8 billion, primarily due to gain from our investment in KEPCO and (c) net interest income of (Won)523.3 billion, primarily due to income from interest on loans. The above factors were partially offset by provision for loan losses of (Won)575.5 billion during such period.

2009

We had net income of (Won)761.1 billion in 2009 compared to net income of (Won)350.3 billion in 2008.

Principal factors for the increase in net income in 2009 compared to 2008 included:

• net valuation gain on equity method investments of (Won)619.9 billion in 2009 compared to net valuation loss of (Won)509.9 billion in 2008; the net valuation gain of (Won)619.9 billion in 2009 reflected principally the gain from our investment in KEPCO and the net valuation loss of (Won)509.9 billion in 2008 reflected principally losses from our investments in KEPCO and GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Company; and

• an increase in net interest income to (Won)897.6 billion in 2009 from (Won)803.8 billion in 2008, primarily due to a decrease in interest expenses resulting from the transfer of interest-bearing liabilities, including Won-denominated industrial finance bonds, to KoFC in connection with the spin-off in October 2009, which more than offset a decrease in interest income resulting from the transfer of interest-bearing assets to KoFC in connection with the spin-off in October 2009.

The above factors were partially offset by an increase in provision for loan losses to (Won)918.6 billion in 2009 from (Won)328.1 billion in 2008, primarily due to an increase in non-performing loans resulting from corporate restructurings of borrowers in the construction, shipbuilding and shipping industries and Kumho Asiana Group’s debt work-out.

2008

We had net income of (Won)350.3 billion in 2008 compared to net income of (Won)2,047.6 billion in 2007.

Principal factors for the decrease in net income in 2008 compared to 2007 included:

• net valuation loss on equity method investments of (Won)509.9 billion in 2008 compared to net valuation gain on equity method investments of (Won)1,468.6 billion in 2007, primarily due to losses from investments in KEPCO and GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Company; and

• a decrease in gains on disposal of equity method investments to (Won)32.8 billion in 2008 from (Won)896.5 billion in 2007; the (Won)32.8 billion gain in 2008 reflected principally the sale of our equity interest in Tongmyung Mottrol Co., Ltd. and the (Won)896.5 billion gain in 2007 reflected principally the sale of our equity interest in LG Card.

The above factors were partially offset by an increase in net interest income to (Won)803.8 billion in 2008 from (Won)240.7 billion in 2007.

Provisions for Possible Loan Losses and Loans in Arrears

We establish provisions for possible losses from problem loans, including guarantees and other extensions of credit, based on the length of the delinquent periods and the nature of the loans, including guarantees and other extensions of credit. As of December 31, 2009, we established provisions of (Won)1,393.5 billion for possible loan losses and bad debt securities, 36.1% higher than the provisions as of December 31, 2008, and (Won)268.7 billion for doubtful accounts relating to foreign exchange, guarantees and other assets, representing a 188.3% increase from December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we established provisions of (Won)1,023.7 billion for possible loan losses and bad debt securities, 31.2% higher than the provisions as of December 31, 2007, and (Won)93.2 billion for doubtful accounts relating to foreign exchange, guarantees and other assets, representing a 58.1% increase from December 31, 2007.

Certain of our customers have restructured loans with their creditor banks. As of December 31, 2009, we have provided loans of (Won)3,551.0 billion for companies under workout, court receivership, court mediation and other restructuring procedures. In addition, as of such date, we held equity securities of such companies in the

12

amount of (Won)63.2 billion following debt-equity swaps. As of December 31, 2009, we had established provisions of (Won)501.4 billion for possible loan losses. We cannot assure you that actual results of the credit loss from the loans to these customers will not exceed the provisions reserved.

Financial Services Commission guidelines classify loans into five categories; provisions are made in accordance with ratios applicable to each category. Effective December 31, 2007, the Financial Services Commission adopted more stringent definitions for the relevant loan categories which more closely follow international standards. Under the revised definitions, loans are categorized as follows:

Normal	Credits extended to customers which, in consideration of their business and operations, financial conditions and future cash flows, do not raise concerns regarding their ability to repay the credits. 0.85% or more reserves required (0.9% for companies in certain industries).
Precautionary	Credits extended to customers (1) which, in consideration of their business and operations, financial conditions and future cash flows, are judged to have potential risks with respect to their ability to repay the credits in the future, although there have not occurred any immediate risks of default in repayment; or (2) which are in arrears for one month or more but less than three months. 7.0% or more reserves required.
Substandard	(1) Credits extended to customers, which in consideration of their business and operations, financial conditions and future cash flows, are judged to have incurred considerable risks for default in repayment as the customers’ ability to repay has deteriorated; or (2) that portion which is expected to be collected of total credits (a) extended to customers which have been in arrears for three months or more, (b) extended to customers which are judged to have incurred serious risks due to the occurrence of final refusal to pay their promissory notes, liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, or closure of their businesses or (c) of “Doubtful Customers” or “Expected-loss Customers” (each as defined below). 20.0% or more reserves required.
Doubtful	That portion of credits in excess of the amount expected to be collected of total credits extended to (1) customers (“Doubtful Customers”) which, in consideration of their business and operations, financial conditions and future cash flows, are judged to have incurred serious risks of default in repayment due to noticeable deterioration in their ability to repay; or (2) customers which have been in arrears for three months or more but less than twelve months. 50.0% or more reserves required.
Expected Loss	That portion of credits in excess of the amount expected to be collected of total credits extended to (1) customers (“Expected-loss Customers”), which, in consideration of their business and operations, financial conditions and future cash flows, are judged to have to be accounted as a loss as the inability to repay became certain due to serious deterioration in their ability to repay; (2) customers which have been in arrears for twelve months or more; or (3) customers which are judged to have incurred serious risks of default in repayment due to the occurrence of final refusal to pay their promissory notes, liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, or closure of their businesses. 100.0% reserves required.

Loans to Financially Troubled Companies

We have credit exposure (including loans, guarantees and equity investments) to a number of financially troubled Korean companies including Kumho Tires Co., Inc., SLS Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., Ssangyong Motor Company, Amuty Shinchon Securitization Specialty Co., Ltd. and 21st Century Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. As of December 31, 2009, our credit extended to these companies totaled (Won)1,474.3 billion, accounting for 1.2% of our total assets as of such date.

We downgraded the classification of our exposure to Kumho Tires Co., Inc. from normal to substandard in January 2010. As of December 31, 2009, our exposure (including loans classified as substandard or below and equity investment classified as estimated loss or below) to Kumho Tires was (Won)583.0 billion. We downgraded the classification of our exposure to SLS Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. from precautionary to substandard in January 2010. As of December 31, 2009, our exposure to SLS Shipbuilding was (Won)341.3 billion. We downgraded the classification of our exposure to Ssangyong Motor Company from normal to expected loss retroactively as of December 31, 2008, following its application for debtor rehabilitation process in January 2009. As of December 31, 2009, our exposure to Ssangyong Motor Company was (Won)318.2 billion. We downgraded the classification of our exposure to Amuty Shinchon Securitization Specialty Co., Ltd. from normal to substandard, following our evaluation of its financial condition and operating results in February 2009. As of December 31, 2009, our exposure to Amuty Shinchon Securitization Specialty was (Won)149.1 billion. We downgraded the classification of our exposure to 21st Century Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. from precautionary to substandard in January 2010. As of December 31, 2009, our exposure to 21st Century Shipbuilding was (Won)82.8 billion.

In 2009, we did not sell any non-performing loans to the Korea Asset Management Corporation, or KAMCO.

In January 2010, Kumho Tires Co., Inc. and Kumho Industrial Co., Ltd. agreed with their creditors, including us, to begin an out-of-court debt restructuring program under the Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act. In March and May 2010, the creditors of these companies agreed on work-out plans, which included

14

debt-to-equity swaps and extensions of additional credit. In connection with these work-out plans, we provided emergency loans of (Won)100.0 billion and (Won)280.0 billion to Kumho Tires and Kumho Industrial, respectively, which are currently classified as substandard and below. We and other creditors of Kumho Tires and Kumho Industrial decided to freeze the repayment of both companies’ debt until December 31, 2014. In addition, we and other creditors of Kumho Petrochemical Co., Ltd. and Asiana Airlines decided to freeze the repayment of both companies’ debt until December 31, 2011. These four companies are members of Kumho Asiana Group, which is undergoing financial difficulties resulting from its heavily leveraged purchase of Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. (“Daewoo E&C”) in 2006. We, as the main creditor of Kumho Asiana Group, are under negotiations with the Kumho Asiana Group and the financial investors in Daewoo E&C to purchase a controlling stake in Daewoo E&C from Kumho Asiana Group through a private-equity fund.

Based on our unaudited internal management accounts, as of December 31, 2009, our exposure to Kumho Tires, Kumho Industrial, Kumho Petrochemical and Asiana Airlines was (Won)863.5 billion, (Won)113.5 billion, (Won)835.7 billion and (Won)847.7 billion, respectively. Based on our unaudited internal management accounts, as of December 31, 2009, we established provisions of (Won)130.7 billion, (Won)3.2 billion, (Won)6.9 billion and (Won)6.6 billion for our exposure to Kumho Tires, Kumho Industrial, Kumho Petrochemical and Asiana Airlines, respectively.

Operations

Loan Operations

We mainly provide equipment capital loans and working capital loans to private Korean enterprises that undertake major industrial projects. The loans generally cover over 50%, and in some cases as much as 100%, of the total project cost. Equipment capital loans include loans to major industries for development of high technology and for acquisition, improvement or repair of machinery and equipment. We disburse loan proceeds in installments to ensure that the borrower uses the loan for its intended purpose.

Before approving a loan, we consider:

• the economic benefits of the project to the Republic;

• the extent to which the project serves priorities established by the Government’s industrial policy;

• the project’s operational feasibility;

• the loan’s and the project’s profitability; and

• the quality of the borrower’s management.

We charge, on average, interest of 3.75% over our prime rate, although we provide a discount between 0.3% and 0.8% to small- and medium-sized companies. We adjust the prime rate monthly. The spread depends on the purpose of the loan, maturity date and the borrower’s credit ratings. Certain loans bear interest at below market rates. Equipment capital loans generally have original maturities of five to ten years, although we occasionally make equipment capital loans with longer maturities. Working capital loans usually mature within two years.

We generally obtain collateral valued in excess of the original loan from large companies and up to the value of the loan from small- and medium-sized companies. Depending on the type of borrower and loan, the collateral may be equipment purchased with the loan proceeds, industrial plants, real estate and marketable securities. We appraise the value of our collateral at least once a year.

In addition to dividing our loans into equipment capital and working capital loans, we classify loans into several groupings, the most important being:

• industrial fund loans;

• foreign currency loans;

• local currency loans denominated in foreign currencies;

Industrial Fund Loans. Industrial fund loans are equipment capital and working capital loans denominated in Won to borrowers in major industries to finance equipment and facilities.

We currently make equipment capital industrial fund loans at floating or fixed rates for terms of up to 10 years and for up to 100% of the equipment cost being financed. We make working capital industrial fund loans at floating or fixed rates and in amounts constituting up to 40% of the borrower’s estimated annual sales.

Foreign Currency Loans. We extend loans denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen or other foreign currencies principally to finance the purchase of industrial equipment from abroad or the implementation of overseas industrial development projects by Korean companies. We make these loans at floating interest rates with original maturities, in the case of equipment capital foreign currency loans, of up to 10 years and, in the case of working capital foreign currency loans, of up to three years.

Local Currency Loans Denominated in Foreign Currencies. We make local currency loans denominated in foreign currencies for the same purposes, and to the same borrowers, as foreign currency loans. Although we denominate the loans in foreign currency, the borrower receives and repays the loans in Won based on foreign exchange rates at the time of receipt and repayment. We currently make loans of this type at floating interest rates, with original maturities, in the case of equipment capital loans, of up to 10 years and, in the case of working capital loans, of up to three years.

Offshore Loans in Foreign Currencies. We extend offshore loans in foreign currencies to finance:

• the purchase of industrial equipment and the implementation of overseas industrial projects by overseas subsidiaries and branches of Korean companies; and

• the overseas industrial development projects of foreign government entities, international organizations and foreign companies.

We make these loans at floating interest rates with original maturities, in the form of equipment capital foreign currency loans, of up to 10 years.

Government Fund Loans. We make government fund loans primarily to finance:

• water supply and drainage facilities;

• the Seoul and Busan subway systems;

• small tourist facilities;

• rural and coastal electricity facilities;

• hospitals; and

• other facilities.

Government fund loans require approval by the appropriate Government ministry. We currently make government fund loans in Won at fixed interest rates with original maturities, in the case of equipment capital loans, of eight to 20 years and, in the case of working capital loans, of up to five years.

Other Loans. We also make special purpose fund loans for particular industries or projects using funds lent to us by the Government and foreign financial institutions. The Government funds that finance these loans include, among others:

• the Tourism Promotion Fund (hotel and resort projects);

• the Rational Use of Energy Fund (energy conservation projects and collective energy supply projects); and

• the Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises Promotion Fund (small- and medium-sized enterprises),

19

We also make special purpose fund loans from money received from the World Bank, the ADB, other multinational agencies and foreign financial institutions. For further information relating to such loans, see “—Sources of Funds” and “—Financial Statements and the Auditors—Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements of December 31, 2009 and 2008—Note 5.”

Guarantee Operations

We extend guarantees to our clients to facilitate their other borrowings and to finance major industrial projects. We guarantee Won-denominated corporate debentures, local currency loans, and other Won liabilities and foreign currency loans from domestic and overseas Korean financial institutions and from foreign institutions. The KDB Act and our Articles of Incorporation limit the aggregate amount of our industrial finance bond obligations and guarantee obligations. See “—Sources of Funds.”

We generally obtain collateral valued in excess of the original guarantee. We appraise the value of our collateral at least once a year. Depending on the borrower, the collateral may be industrial plants, real estate and/or marketable securities.

The following table shows our outstanding guarantees:

Guarantees Outstanding

	As of December 31,
	2007	2008	2009
	(billions of won)
Acceptances	275.7	725.8	1,231.9
Guarantees on local borrowing	384.1	441.0	370.6
Guarantees on foreign borrowing	11,330.6	16,910.4	12,686.1
Letter of guarantee for importers	39.3	29.8	40.3
Total	12,029.7	18,107.0	14,329.0

On November 13, 2002, we entered into a guarantee agreement with KEPCO with respect to certain of KEPCO’s debt securities in connection with KEPCO’s restructuring and privatization. Pursuant to the guarantee agreement, we issued in February 2003 our guarantee to holders of KEPCO’s Yankee and Global debt securities with final maturities ranging from 2003 to 2096 (although our guarantee obligations only run through 2016) in an aggregate principal amount of approximately (Won)3.3 trillion, based on exchange rates prevailing on the guarantee issuance date, February 25, 2003, and we issued in April 2003 our guarantee to holders of KEPCO’s Eurobonds with final maturities ranging from 2004 to 2007 in an aggregate principal amount of approximately (Won)0.9 trillion, based on exchange rates prevailing on the guarantee issuance date, April 29, 2003. The guarantees described above constitute full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantees, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, in respect of the principal, interest and other payments due with respect to those debt obligations. KEPCO paid and will continue to pay us an annual guarantee fee of 0.05% of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all issues of debt securities that will be covered by the benefit of our guarantee and (ii) the sum of all interest payments due on such debt securities from the date of calculation until the earlier of their maturity or their stated redemption date.

KoFC, which indirectly owns 94.2% of our paid-in capital, currently owns approximately 30.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock of KEPCO, and the Government, which indirectly owns all of our paid-in capital, owns an additional 21.1% of such shares of KEPCO.

Investments

We invest in a range of Korean private and Government-owned enterprises but we will not take a controlling interest in a company unless the Government specifically instructs us to do so. Although generally a

20

long-term investor, we sell investments from time to time. In recent years, sales resulted principally from the Government’s privatization program, and we expect to continue such sales in the future. The Government plans to sell its direct or indirect interest in certain private sector companies acquired during previous restructuring programs, including Daewoo International Corp., Daewoo Electronics Corp., Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. and Hynix Semiconductor Inc. In accordance with such plan, we expect to sell our equity holdings in certain private sector companies if favorable opportunities for sale arise. Our equity investments decreased to (Won)5,617.8 billion as of December 31, 2009 from (Won)22,917.1 billion as of December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the transfer of our equity interest in certain companies, including KEPCO and Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., to KoFC in connection with the spin-off in October 2009. See “Selected Financial Statement Data—Spin-off of KDB.” Our equity investments decreased to (Won)22,917.1 billion as of December 31, 2008 from (Won)26,944.1 billion as of December 31, 2007, principally as a result of valuation losses on capital stock of KEPCO and GM Daewoo Auto & Technology.

To support the Government’s policy of helping credit-constrained small- and medium-sized companies, we allocated (Won)400 billion for each of 2008 and 2009 for investment in promising small- and medium-sized companies and invested (Won)227.7 billion and (Won)158.4 billion in 112 and 74 companies in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

The KDB Act and our Articles of Incorporation provide that the cost basis of our total equity investments may not exceed twice the sum of our paid-in capital and our reserve from profit. In addition, pursuant to the KDB Decree, we may not acquire equity securities of a single company in excess of 15% of its entire voting shares. The 15% limit, however, does not apply to certain investments, including those in Government-controlled companies financed by capital contributions from the Government. As of December 31, 2009, the cost basis of our equity investments subject to restriction under the KDB Act and our Articles of Incorporation totaled (Won)5,617.8 billion, equal to 20.7% of our equity investment ceiling. For a discussion of Korean accounting principles relating to our equity investments, see “—Financial Statements and the Auditors.”

The following table sets out our equity investments by industry sector on a book value basis as of December 31, 2009:

Equity Investments

	Book Value as of December 31, 2009
	(billions of won)
Electricity & Waterworks	59.2
Construction	11.3
Finance and Insurance	2,010.8
Rea Estate Business	94.4
Manufacturing	1,668.7
Transportation	450.8
Others	1,322.6
Total	5,617.8

As of December 31, 2009, we held total equity investments, on a book value basis, of (Won)286.5 billion in one of our five largest borrowers and (Won)339.5 billion in three of our 20 largest borrowers. We have not established a policy addressing loans to enterprises in which we hold equity interests or equity interests in enterprises to which we have extended loans.

When possible, we use the prevailing market price of a security to determine the value of our interest. However, if no readily ascertainable market value exists for our holdings, we record these investments at the cost of acquisition. With respect to our equity interests in enterprises in which we hold more than 15% of interest, we value these investments annually, with certain exceptions, on a net asset value basis when the investee company releases its financial statements. As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate value of our equity investments accounted for approximately 137.8% of their aggregate cost basis.

21

As part of our investment activities, we underwrite straight and convertible bond issuances in Won for domestic corporations. We also invest in municipal bonds, extending funds to municipalities at subsidized interest rates, mostly to finance water supply and drainage infrastructure projects.

Other Activities

We engage in a range of industrial development activities in addition to providing loans and guarantees, including:

• conducting economic and industrial research;

• performing engineering surveys;

• providing business analyses and managerial assistance; and

• offering trust services.

As of December 31, 2009, we held in trust cash and other assets totaling (Won)20,746.9 billion, and we generated in 2009 trust fee income equaling (Won)15.2 billion. As of December 31, 2008, we held in trust cash and other assets totaling (Won)12,344.9 billion, and we generated in 2008 trust fee income equaling (Won)6.9 billion. Pursuant to Korean law, we segregate trust assets from our other assets; trust assets are not available to satisfy claims of our depositors or other creditors. Accordingly, we account for our trust accounts separately from our banking accounts. However, if our trust operations fail to preserve the principal of our clients’ trust assets, we are responsible for covering the deficit either from previously established provisions in our trust accounts or by a transfer from our banking accounts. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, we did not transfer any funds from our banking accounts to cover deficits in our trust accounts. Surplus funds generated by the trust assets may be deposited into the clients’ accounts and earn interest. We reflect trust fees earned by us on our trust account management services as other operating revenues in the income statement of the banking accounts.

Sources of Funds

In addition to our capital and reserves, we obtain funds primarily from:

• borrowings from the Government;

• issuances of bonds in the domestic and international capital markets;

• borrowings from international borrowings from The Bank of Korea; and

• deposits.

All of our borrowings are unsecured.

Borrowings from the Government

We borrow from the Government’s general purpose funds and its special purpose funds. General purpose loans generally are in Won and have fixed interest rates and maturities ranging from five to 20 years. We incur special purpose loans, principally from the Tourism Promotion Fund, the Rational Use of Energy Fund and the Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises Promotion Fund, in connection with specific projects we finance. The Government links the interest rate and maturity of each special purpose borrowing to the terms of the financing we provide for the specific project.

22

The following table sets out our Government borrowings as of December 31, 2009:

Type of Funds Borrowed	As of December 31, 2009
	(billions of won)
General Purpose	848.7
Special Purpose	3,808.5
Total	4,657.2

Domestic and International Capital Markets

We issue industrial finance bonds both in Korea and abroad, some of which the Government directly guarantees. We generally issue domestic bonds at fixed interest rates with original maturities of one to ten years.

The following table sets out the outstanding balance of our industrial finance bonds as of December 31, 2009:

Outstanding Balance	As of December 31, 2009
	(billions of won)
Denominated in Won	35,060.9
Denominated in Other Currencies	15,818.3
Total	50,879.2

The KDB Act provides that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of our industrial finance bonds, other than those directly guaranteed or purchased by the Government, plus the aggregate outstanding amount of our on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet guarantee obligations, other than those excepted by statute, may not exceed 30 times the sum of our paid-in capital and our reserve from profit. As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate amount of our industrial finance bonds and guarantee obligations (including guarantee obligations relating to loans that had not been borrowed as of December 31, 2009) was (Won)66,380.6 billion, equal to 15.5% of our authorized amount under the KDB Act, which was (Won)429,383.6 billion.

Foreign Currency Borrowings

We borrow money from institutions, principally syndicates of commercial banks, outside the Republic in foreign currencies. We frequently enter into related interest rate and currency swap transactions. The loans generally have original maturities of five to ten years. We also borrow from the World Bank, the ADB and other similar supranational institutions to fund special projects, with terms linked to the related loans we extend. As of December 31, 2009, the outstanding amount of our foreign currency borrowings was US$11.2 billion.

Our long term and short term foreign currency borrowings decreased to (Won)13,087.5 billion as of December 31, 2009 from (Won)16,468.2 billion as of December 31, 2008.

Deposits

We take demand deposits and time and savings deposits from the general public. Time and savings deposits generally have maturities shorter than three years and bear interest at fixed rates. As of December 31, 2009, demand deposits held by us totaled (Won)521.8 billion and time and savings deposits held by us totaled (Won)9,829.3 billion.

Financial Statements and the Auditors

The Government, through KDBFG, our sole shareholder, elects our Auditor who is responsible for examining our financial operations and auditing our financial statements and records. The present Auditor is Sung Moon Lee, who was appointed by the Financial Services Commission for a three-year term on April 11, 2008.

30

We prepare our financial statements annually for submission to the Financial Services Commission, accompanied by an opinion of the Auditor. Although we are not legally required to have financial statements audited by external independent auditors, an independent public accounting firm has audited our non-consolidated and consolidated financial statements commencing with such financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998. As of the date of this prospectus, our external independent auditor is Ernst & Young Han Young, located at Taeyoung Bldg., #10-2, Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, Korea, which has audited our non-consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in this prospectus. Shinhan Accounting Corporation, located at 5th Floor, Samhwan Camus Building, #17-3 Yeouido-Dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, Korea, has audited our non-consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in this prospectus.

Our non-consolidated financial statements appearing in this prospectus were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic, summarized in “—Financial Statements and the Auditors—Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements of December 31, 2009 and 2008—Note 2.” These principles and procedures differ in certain material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”).

We generally record our trading portfolio of marketable equity securities and other equity investments at the cost of acquisition (including incidental expenses related to purchase), computed on the moving average method. However, if the aggregate market value of the trading portfolio of marketable securities as of the balance sheet date differs from their purchase cost, we record the securities at market value. If the market value of equity investments, except for those of companies in which we hold more than 15% of interest (“affiliated companies”), differs from their purchase cost, we record the investment at market value. Starting in April 1999, we record our equity investments in affiliated companies by using the equity method, pursuant to which we account for adjustments in the value of our investments resulting from changes to the affiliated companies’ net asset values. However, we do not apply the equity method for the following investments: (1) total assets of investees are less than (Won)10,000 million; (2) investees which are owned by the Korean Government and Government invested companies; (3) investees under court receivership or bankruptcy; and (4) investees in the process of being sold.

We generally record our debt securities investments, except for our trading portfolio of marketable debt securities, at the cost of acquisition (including incidental expenses related to purchase), computed on the specific identification method. We record our trading portfolio of marketable debt securities at market value. Starting in April 1999, we record all our debt securities investments at market value except for debt securities invested with the intention of holding until maturity, which we record at the cost of acquisition or amortized cost.

We record the value of our premises and equipment on our balance sheet on the basis of a revaluation conducted as of July 1, 1998. The Minister of Strategy and Finance approved the revaluation in accordance with applicable Korean law. We value additions to premises and equipment since such date at cost.

Independent auditors’ report

The Board of Directors and Stockholder

Korea Development Bank

We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated statement of financial position of Korea Development Bank (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2009, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriation of retained earnings, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these non-consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., the Bank’s investment in which is reflected in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The Bank’s income derived from its investment in Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. represents 22% of the Bank’s non-consolidated income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2009. The financial statements of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., is based solely on the report of other auditors. The financial statements of the Bank as of December 31, 2008, presented for comparative purposes, were audited by Shinhan Accounting Corporation whose report dated January 23, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the non-consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the non-consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall non-consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the non-consolidated financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2009, and the non-consolidated results of its operations, its changes in retained earnings and equity and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea.

Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, changes in retained earnings and equity, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are for use by those who are knowledgeable about Korean accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

1. Corporate information

Korea Development Bank (the “Bank”) was established in 1954 in accordance with the Korea Development Bank Act of the Republic of Korea to supply and manage major industrial funds for the promotion of the industrial development and advancement of the national economy. The Bank has 44 local branches, 7 overseas branches, 5 overseas subsidiaries and 2 overseas offices as of December 31, 2009. The Bank is engaged in the banking business under the Korea Development Bank Act and other related regulations and in the trust business in accordance with the Financial Investment Services and Markets Act.

As of December 31, 2009, the capital stock of the Bank amounts to (Won)9,241,861 million and KDB Financial Group Inc. (“KDBFG”) owns 100 percent of the Bank’s common shares.

The Bank’s spin-off

On October 28, 2009, the Bank spun off its public finance unit and financial subsidiaries business support unit into Korea Finance Corporation (“KoFC”) and KDBFG, respectively, according to a resolution made at the Board of Directors meeting held on September 8, 2009 for the proposed spin-off and another resolution made at the special general meeting of stockholder held on September 23, 2009 for the approval of the spin-off. New shares of the two new entities were issued and distributed to the Bank’s stockholder as of the spin-off date on a pro-rata basis, and the Bank continues its remaining operations. The Bank and the new entities will be jointly and severally liable for all liabilities existing prior to the spin-off.

The amount of the Bank’s assets transferred to the new entities was determined by the provisions of the spin-off plan (the “Spin-off Plan”) approved at the aforementioned Board of Directors meeting and special general meeting of stockholder. All assets, where possible, were transferred at their book values as of the day immediately preceding the spin-off date; otherwise, the remaining assets were transferred at their book values as of September 30, 2009.

On November 24, 2009, the Korea government who was also the sole equity owner of the Bank, exchanged the Bank’s shares with KDBFG shares at the exchange ratio of 0.163608 KDBFG share for every 1 share of the Bank. Immediately after the completion of the share exchange, the Bank became a fully-owned subsidiary of KDBFG.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of financial statement preparation

The Bank maintains its official 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 (“Korean GAAP”) with the exception of overseas branches and subsidiaries, where the Bank used financial statements prepared in accordance with the financial accounting standards generally accepted in their jurisdictions, with adjustments to align with Korean GAAP if the adjustments materially effects the Bank’s financial statements. 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.

Korea Development Bank

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

December 31, 2009 and 2008

The significant accounting policies followed by the Bank in preparing the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

Recognition of interest income

Interest income on loans and investments is recognized on an accrual basis. However, interest income on loans overdue or dishonored is recognized on a cash basis except for those secured and guaranteed by financial institutions for which the interest is recognized on an accrual basis.

Securities

Securities are classified as either trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale securities, as appropriate, and are initially measured at cost, including incidental expenses. The Bank determines the classification of its investments after initial recognition, and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each fiscal year end.

Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Debt securities which carry fixed or determinable principal payments and a fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity, if the Bank has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Securities that are not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities.

After initial measurement, available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses being recognized as other comprehensive income in equity. Likewise, trading securities are also measured at fair value after initial measurement, but with unrealized gains or losses reported as part of net income. Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost after initial measurement. The cost is computed as the amount initially recognized minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, of any difference between the initially recognized amount and the maturity amount.

The fair value of trading and available-for-sale securities that are traded actively in the open market (marketable securities) is measured at the closing price of those securities at the reporting date. Non-marketable equity securities are carried at a value announced by a public independent credit rating agency. If application of such measurement method is not feasible, non-marketable equity securities are measured at cost less impairment, if any, subsequent to initial recognition. Non-marketable debt securities are carried at the present value of their future cash flows discounted using an appropriate interest rate which reflects the issuer’s credit rating, as announced by a public independent credit rating agency.

When held-to-maturity securities are reclassified to available-for-sale, those securities are accounted for at fair value on the reclassification date and the difference between the fair value and book value is reported in other comprehensive income as a gain or loss on valuation of available-for sale securities. When available-for-sale securities are reclassified to held-to-maturity, gains or losses on valuation of these available-for-sale securities, which had been recorded until the reclassification date, continue to be included in accumulated other comprehensive income and are amortized using the effective interest rate method. Such amortization amount is charged to interest income until maturity. Once the reclassification is made, trading securities cannot be reclassified to available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities and vice versa except in rare circumstances only. In addition, when certain trading securities become non-marketable, such securities are reclassified to available-for-sale at fair value as of the reclassification date.

If the recoverable amount of a held-to-maturity security and available-for-sale security is less than acquisition cost or carrying value, and such decline is deemed other than temporary, such security is adjusted to its recoverable amount with an impairment loss charged to the statement of income after eliminating any gains and losses previous recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for temporary changes. A subsequent recovery is also recorded in the statement of income to the extent of the previously recorded impairment losses if such recovery is attributable to an event occurring subsequent to the recognition of the impairment losses.

Equity method investments

Investments in entities over which the Bank has control or significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Investment securities which allow the Bank a significant influence over the investee are valued using the equity method of accounting. The Bank considers that it has a significant influence on an investee if the Bank holds more than 15% of voting shares.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Bank’s initial investment in an investee is recorded at acquisition cost. Subsequently, the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to reflect the Bank’s share of income or loss of the investee in the statement of income and share of changes in equity that have been recognized directly in the equity of the investee in the related equity account of the Bank on the statement of financial position. If the Bank’s share of losses of the investee equals or exceeds its interest in the investee, it suspends recognizing its share of further losses. However, if the Bank has other long-term interests in the investee, it continues recognizing its share of further losses to the extent of the carrying amount of such long-term interests. The Bank resumes the application of the equity method if the Bank’s share of income or change in equity of an investee exceeds the Bank’s share of losses accumulated during the period of suspension of the equity method of accounting.

At the date of acquisition, the difference between the acquisition cost of the investee and the Bank’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill or negative goodwill. Goodwill is amortized over its useful life of five years using the straight-line method and the amortization expense is included as part of valuation gain or loss on equity method investments in the statement of income. Negative goodwill is amortized based on the investee’s accounting treatments on the related assets and liabilities and charged or credited to valuation gain or loss on equity method investments in the statement of income.

The Bank’s share in the investee’s unrealized profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Bank and its investee are eliminated.

Allowance for possible loan losses

The Bank provides for possible loan losses based on the borrowers’ future debt servicing ability (forward looking criteria) as determined by a credit rating model developed by the Bank. This credit rating model includes financial and non-financial factors of borrowers and classifies the borrowers’ credit risk. Allowances are determined by applying the following minimum percentages to the various credit risk ratings:

Loan classifications	Minimum provision percentages (%)
Normal	0.85
Precautionary	7
Substandard	20
Doubtful	50
Expected Loss	100

Troubled debt restructuring

If the present value of a loan is different from its book value due to a rescheduling of terms as agreed by the related parties (as in the case of court receivership, court mediation or workout), the difference in present value of the restructured loan payments and book value of the loan is recorded as an allowance for possible loan loss. The difference recorded as an allowance is amortized to current earnings over the related period using the effective interest rate method. The amortization is recorded as interest income.

Deferred loan fees and expenses

The Bank defers and amortizes certain fees received from borrowers and expenses paid to third parties associated with originating certain loans. Such fees and expenses are amortized over the life of the associated loan using the straight-line method.

Valuation of long-term receivables (payables) at present value

Receivables or payables arising from long-term installment transactions are stated at present value. The difference between the carrying amount of these receivables or payables and their present value is amortized using the effective interest rate method and credited or charged to the statement of income over the installment period.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Expenditures which enhance the value or extend the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized as additions to property and equipment.

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful life of assets:

	Year
Buildings	20~50
Furniture and fixture	10~40
Computer equipment	4
Vehicles	4
Others	4

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which enhance the value or extend the useful life of the related assets are capitalized.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets of the Bank consist of trademarks, development costs and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of four to five years.

Impairment of assets

When the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the decline in value, if material, is deducted from the carrying amount and recognized as an asset impairment loss in the current period.

Bond purchased under resale agreement and bonds sold under repurchase agreements

Bond purchased or sold under resale or repurchase agreements are included in loans and borrowings, respectively. The difference between the selling and repurchase price is treated as interest and is accrued evenly over the period covered by the agreements.

Debenture issuance costs

Debenture issuance costs are amortized as an interest expense over the redemption term using the effective interest rate method.

Accrued severance and retirement benefits

In accordance with the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act and the Bank’s regulations, employees and directors terminating their employment with at least one year of service are entitled to severance and retirement benefits, based on the rates of pay in effect at the time of termination, years of service and certain other factors. The provider is determined based on the amount that would be payable assuming all employees and directors were to terminate their employment as of the reporting date.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made on the amount of the obligation. The provision is used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognized. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at present value.

Confirmed acceptances and guarantees, unconfirmed acceptances and guarantees and bills endorsed are not recognized on the statement of financial position, but are disclosed as off-statement of financial position items in the notes to the financial statements. The Bank provides a provision for such off-statement of financial position items, applying a Credit Conversion Factor (“CCF”) and provision rates, and records the provision as an allowance for possible losses on acceptances and guarantees.

The Bank records an allowance for a certain portion of unused credit lines and cash advance commitments. The Bank records the provision for such unused balances as a reserve for possible losses on unused commitments and cash advance commitments which are calculated by applying a CCF and the minimum required provision percentage given by the Regulation on the Supervision of Banking Business.

Income taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, the tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method for the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In addition, current tax and deferred tax are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are charged or credited directly to equity.

Translation of foreign currency and financial statements of overseas branches

Transactions involving foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the time the transactions are made. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won using the exchange rates of (Won)1,167.6 to US$1 and (Won)1,257.5 to US$1, the rates in effect on December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The resulting translation gains or losses are credited or charged to current operations.

Accounting records of the overseas branches are maintained in foreign currencies. In translating financial statements of overseas branches, the Bank applies the appropriate rate of exchange at the reporting date.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are presented as assets or liabilities valued principally at the fair value of the rights or obligations associated with the derivative contracts. The unrealized gain or loss from a derivative transaction with the purpose of hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or unrecognized firm commitment is recognized in current operations. For a derivative instrument with the purpose of hedging the exposure to the variability of cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction, the hedge-effective portion of the derivative instrument’s gain or loss is deferred as other comprehensive income in equity. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is charged or credited to current operations. Derivative instruments that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, or contracts for which the Bank has not elected hedge accounting are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported in current operations.

Accounting for the trust accounts

The Bank recognizes, in accordance with the Financial Investment Services and Markets Act, trust fees earned from the trust accounts as income from trust operations. If losses are incurred on trust accounts that have a guarantee of principal repayment, the losses are recognized as a loss from trust operations.

Changes in accounting estimates

The Bank changed its accounting estimate relating to impairment loss on investment securities in 2009 in order to better reflect the Bank’s investment securities position and enhance comparability to other banks. Impairment loss on securities recognized in 2009 amounted to (Won)361,117 million.

Significant judgments and accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Korean GAAP requires management to judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Following the completion of identification of accounting policy differences described above, the Bank conducted the detail analysis of its financial reporting system requirement and accounting policy changes impacted by the adoption of K-IFRS until August 2008. Based on results of the above analysis, the Bank has mapped out changes that are required for its financial reporting system capable of capturing and producing IFRS financial data, and modifications to the Bank’s work processes relating to the system changes have been made. The Bank has completed the system and work processes changes in the end of 2009.

The task force team regularly reports the preparation plans and implementation progress to the Bank’s management and training programs are also regularly provided to the Bank’s employees to developed K-IFRS trained-resources within the Bank.

Starting from 2010, the K-IFRS financial statements will be reported the opening K-IFRS financial statements at the date of transition and any issues or unforeseen implementation errors following the implementation of K-IFRS will be continuously improved and remedied, and the related internal control processes are to be reassessed for a smooth transition to K-IFRS.

Major differences are expected to give rise to a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements based on the K-IFRSs that are effective as of December 31, 2009, are consolidation scope, allowance for possible loan losses, revenue recognition, financial instruments measurement and derecognition, employee benefits and others.

26. Approval of financial statements

The 2009 financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2010.

THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

Land and History

Territory and Population

Located generally south of the 38th parallel on the Korean peninsula, The Republic of Korea covers about 38,000 square miles, approximately one-fourth of which is arable. The Republic has a population of approximately 48 million people. The country’s largest city and capital, Seoul, has a population of about 11 million people.

Political History

Dr. Rhee Seungman, who was elected President in each of 1948, 1952, 1956 and 1960, dominated the years after the Republic’s founding in 1948. Shortly after President Rhee’s resignation in 1960 in response to student-led demonstrations, a group of military leaders headed by Park Chung Hee assumed power by coup. The military leaders established a civilian government, and the country elected Mr. Park as President in October 1963. President Park served as President until his assassination in 1979 following a period of increasing strife between the Government and its critics. The Government declared martial law and formed an interim government under Prime Minister Choi Kyu Hah, who became the next President. After clashes between the Government and its critics, President Choi resigned, and General Chun Doo Hwan, who took control of the Korean army, became President in 1980.

In late 1980, the country approved, by national referendum, a new Constitution, providing for indirect election of the President by an electoral college and for certain democratic reforms, and shortly thereafter, in early 1981, re-elected President Chun.

Responding to public demonstrations in 1987, the legislature revised the Constitution to provide for direct election of the President. In December 1987, Roh Tae Woo won the Presidency by a narrow plurality, after opposition parties led by Kim Young Sam and Kim Dae Jung failed to unite behind a single candidate. In February 1990, two opposition political parties, including the one led by Kim Young Sam, merged into President Roh’s ruling Democratic Liberal Party.

In December 1992, the country elected Kim Young Sam as President. The election of a civilian and former opposition party leader considerably lessened the controversy concerning the legitimacy of the political regime. President Kim’s administration reformed the political sector and deregulated and internationalized the Korean economy.

In December 1997, the country elected Kim Dae Jung as President. President Kim’s party, the Millennium Democratic Party (formerly known as the National Congress for New Politics), formed a coalition with the United Liberal Democrats led by Kim Jong Pil, with Kim Jong Pil becoming the first prime minister in President Kim’s administration. The coalition, which temporarily ended before the election held in April 2000, continued with the appointment of Lee Han Dong of the United Liberal Democrats as the Prime Minister in June 2000. The coalition again ended in September 2001.

In December 2002, the country elected Roh Moo Hyun as President. President Roh and his supporters left the Millennium Democratic Party in 2003 and formed a new party, the Uri Party, in November 2003. On August 15, 2007, 85 members of the National Assembly, previously belonging to the Uri Party, or the Democratic Party, formed the United New Democratic Party (the “UNDP”). The Uri Party merged into the UNDP in August 20, 2007.

In December 2007, the country elected Lee Myung-Bak as President. He commenced his term on February 25, 2008. The Lee administration’s key policy priorities include:

• pursuing a lively market economy through deregulation, free trade and the attraction of foreign investment;

• establishing an efficient government by reorganizing government functions and privatizing state-owned enterprises;

• taking initiatives on the denuclearization of North Korea;

• seeking a productive welfare system based on customized welfare benefits and job training; and

• strengthening the competitiveness of Korea’s education system.

Government and Politics

Government and Administrative Structure

Governmental authority in the Republic is centralized and concentrated in a strong Presidency. The President is elected by popular vote and can only serve one term of five years. The President chairs the State Council, which consists of the prime minister, the deputy prime ministers, the respective heads of Government ministries and the ministers of state. The President can select the members of the State Council and appoint or remove all other Government officials, except for elected local officials.

The President can veto new legislation and take emergency measures in cases of natural disaster, serious fiscal or economic crisis, state of war or other similar circumstances. The President must promptly seek the concurrence of the National Assembly for any emergency measures taken and failing to do so automatically invalidates the emergency measures. In the case of martial law, the President may declare martial law without the consent of the National Assembly; provided, however, that the National Assembly may request the President to rescind such martial law.

The National Assembly exercises the country’s legislative power. The Constitution and the Election for Public Offices Act provide for the direct election of about 82% of the members of the National Assembly and the distribution of the remaining seats proportionately among parties winning more than 5 seats in the direct election or receiving over 3% of the popular vote. National Assembly members serve four-year terms. The National Assembly enacts laws, ratifies treaties and approves the national budget. The executive branch drafts most legislation and submits it to the National Assembly for approval.

The country’s judicial branch comprises the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court and lower courts of various levels. The President appoints the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and appoints the other Justices of the Supreme Court upon the recommendation of the Chief Justice. All appointments to the Supreme Court require the consent of the National Assembly. The Chief Justice, with the consent of the conference of Supreme Court Justices, appoints all the other judges in Korea. Supreme Court Justices serve for six years and all other judges serve for ten years. Other than the Chief Justice, justices and judges may be reappointed to successive terms.

The President formally appoints all nine judges of the Constitutional Court, but three judges must be designated by the National Assembly and three by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Constitutional Court judges serve for six years and may be reappointed to successive terms.

Administratively, the Republic comprises nine provinces and seven cities with provincial status: Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejon and Ulsan. From 1961 to 1995, the national government controlled the provinces and the President appointed provincial officials. Local autonomy, including the election of provincial officials, was reintroduced in June 1995.

Political Organizations

Currently, there are two major political parties, the Grand National Party, or GNP, and the United New Democratic Party, or UNDP. The 18th legislative general election was held on April 9, 2008 and the term of the National Assembly members elected in the 18th legislative general election commenced on May 30, 2008.

As of July 22, 2010, the parties control the following number of seats in the National Assembly:

	GNP	UNDP	Others	Total
Number of Seats	168	84	39	291

Relations with North Korea

Relations between the Republic and North Korea have been tense over most of the Republic’s history. The Korean War, which took place between 1950 and 1953 began with the invasion of the Republic by communist forces from North Korea and, following a military stalemate, an armistice was reached establishing a demilitarized zone monitored by the United Nations in the vicinity of the 38th parallel.

North Korea maintains a regular military force estimated at more than 1,000,000 troops, mostly concentrated near the northern border of the demilitarized zone. The Republic’s military forces, composed of approximately 650,000 regular troops and almost 3.0 million reserves, maintain a state of military preparedness along the southern border of the demilitarized zone. In addition, the United States has historically maintained its military presence in the Republic. In October 2004, the United States and the Republic agreed to a three-phase withdrawal of approximately one-third of the 37,500 troops stationed in the Republic by the end of 2008. By the end of 2004, 5,000 U.S. troops departed the Republic in the first phase of such withdrawal and in the plan’s second phase, the United States removed 5,000 troops by the end of 2006. In the final phase, another 2,500 U.S. troops were scheduled to depart by the end of 2008. In April 2008, however, the United States and the Republic decided not to proceed with the final phase of withdrawal and agreed to maintain 28,500 U.S. troops in the Republic. In February 2007, the United States and the Republic agreed to dissolve their joint command structure by 2012, which would allow the Republic to assume the command of its own armed forces in the event of war on the Korean peninsula.

The level of tension between the two Koreas has fluctuated and may increase abruptly as a result of current and future events. In recent years, there have been heightened security concerns stemming from North Korea’s nuclear weapons and long-range missile programs and increased uncertainty regarding North Korea’s actions and possible responses from the international community. In December 2002, North Korea removed the seals and surveillance equipment from its Yongbyon nuclear power plant and evicted inspectors from the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency. In January 2003, North Korea renounced its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Since the renouncement, the Republic, the United States, North Korea, China, Japan and Russia have held numerous rounds of six party multi-lateral talks in an effort to resolve issues relating to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

In addition to conducting test flights of long-range missiles, North Korea announced in October 2006 that it had successfully conducted a nuclear test, which increased tensions in the region and elicited strong objections worldwide. In response, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution that prohibits any United Nations member state from conducting transactions with North Korea in connection with any large scale arms and material or technology related to missile development or weapons of mass destruction and from providing luxury goods to North Korea, imposes an asset freeze and travel ban on persons associated with North Korea’s weapons program, and calls upon all United Nations member states to take cooperative action, including thorough inspection of cargo to or from North Korea. In response, North Korea agreed in February 2007 at the six-party talks to shut down and seal the Yongbyon nuclear facility, including the reprocessing facility, and readmit international inspectors to conduct all necessary monitoring and verifications.

In April 2009, North Korea launched a long-range rocket over the Pacific Ocean. The Republic, Japan and the United States responded that the launch poses a threat to neighboring nations and that it was in violation of the United Nations Security Council resolution adopted in 2006 against nuclear tests by North Korea, and the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution that condemned North Korea for the launch and decided to tighten sanctions against North Korea. Subsequently, North Korea announced that it would permanently pull out of the six-party talks and restart its nuclear program, and the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that its inspectors had been ordered to remove surveillance devices and other equipment at the Yongbyon nuclear power plant and to leave North Korea. In May 2009, North Korea announced that it had successfully conducted a second nuclear test and test-fired three short-range, surface-to-air missiles. In response, the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution that condemned North Korea for the

90

nuclear test and decided to expand and tighten sanctions against North Korea. In March 2010, a Korean warship was destroyed by an underwater explosion, killing many of the crewmen on board. In May 2010, the Government formally accused North Korea of causing the sinking and demanded that North Korea apologize for the act and punish those responsible. The Government has also been seeking international condemnation against North Korea for the act. North Korea has threatened retaliation for any attempt to punish it over the incident.

There recently has been increased uncertainty about the future of North Korea’s political leadership and its implications for the economic and political stability of the region. In June 2009, U.S. and Korean officials announced that Kim Jong-il, the North Korean ruler who reportedly suffered a stroke in August 2008, designated his third son, who is reportedly in his twenties, to become his successor. The succession plan, however, remains uncertain. In addition, North Korea’s economy faces severe challenges. For example, in November 2009, the North Korean government redenominated its currency at a ratio of 100 to 1 as part of its first currency reform in 17 years in an attempt to control inflation and reduce income gaps. In tandem with the currency redenomination, the North Korean government banned the use or possession of foreign currency by its residents and closed down privately run markets, which led to severe inflation and food shortages. Such developments may further aggravate social and political tensions within North Korea.

There can be no assurance that the level of tension on the Korean peninsula will not escalate in the future or that such escalation will not have a material adverse impact on the Republic’s economy or its ability to obtain future funding. Any further increase in tension, which may occur, for example, if North Korea experiences a leadership crisis, high-level contacts between the Republic and North Korea break down or military hostilities occur, could have a material adverse effect on the Republic’s economy.

Over the longer term, reunification of the two Koreas could occur. Reunification may entail a significant economic commitment by the Republic. In President Lee’s national address on August 15, 2010, he suggested the possible adoption of a reunification tax as a potential means of alleviating the potential long-term economic burden associated with reunification. Such discussions on reunification are very preliminary, and it has not been decided whether or when such a reunification tax would be implemented. If a reunification tax is implemented, depending on how it is structured, it may lead to a decrease in domestic consumption, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on the Republic’s economy.

Foreign Relations and International Organizations

The Republic maintains diplomatic relations with most nations of the world, most importantly with the United States with which it entered into a mutual defense treaty and several economic agreements. The Republic also has important relationships with Japan and China, its largest trading partners together with the United States.

The Republic belongs to a number of supranational organizations, including:

• the International Monetary Fund, or the IMF;

• the World Bank;

• the Asian Development Bank, or ADB;

• the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency;

• the International Finance Corporation;

• the International Development Association;

• the African Development Bank;

• the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development;

• the Bank for International Settlements;

91

• the World Trade Organization, or WTO; and

• the Inter-American Development Bank, or IDB.

In September 1991, the Republic and North Korea became members of the United Nations. During the 1996 and 1997 sessions, the Republic served as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

In March 1995, the Republic applied for admission to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or the OECD, which the Republic officially joined as the twenty-ninth regular member in December 1996.

The Economy

Current Worldwide Economic and Financial Difficulties

Recent difficulties affecting the U.S. and global financial sectors, adverse conditions and volatility in the U.S. and worldwide credit and financial markets, fluctuations in oil and commodity prices and the general weakness of the U.S. and global economy during the second half of 2008 and first half of 2009 increased the uncertainty of global economic prospects in general and adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the Korean economy. During the second and third quarter of 2007, credit markets in the United States started to experience difficult conditions and volatility that in turn have affected worldwide financial markets. In particular, in late July and early August 2007, market uncertainty in the U.S. sub-prime mortgage sector increased dramatically and further expanded to other markets such as those for leveraged finance, collateralized debt obligations and other structured products. In September and October 2008, liquidity and credit concerns and volatility in the global credit and financial markets increased significantly with the bankruptcy or acquisition of, and government assistance to, several major U.S. and European financial institutions. These developments resulted in reduced liquidity, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the United States and global credit and financial markets.

As liquidity and credit concerns and volatility in the global financial markets increased significantly since September 2008, the value of the Won relative to the U.S. dollar depreciated at an accelerated rate during the fourth quarter of 2008 and first half of 2009. See “Monetary Policy—Foreign Exchange.” Such depreciation of the Won increased the cost of imported goods and services and the Won revenue needed by Korean companies to service foreign currency-denominated debt. Furthermore, as a result of adverse global and Korean economic conditions, there was a significant overall decline and continuing volatility in the stock prices of Korean companies. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index declined by 27.8% from 1,852.0 on May 30, 2008 to 1,336.7 on April 16, 2009. See “The Financial System—Securities Markets.” Further declines in the Korea Composite Stock Price Index and large amounts of sales of Korean securities by foreign investors and subsequent repatriation of the proceeds of such sales may continue to adversely affect the value of the Won, the foreign currency reserves held by financial institutions in Korea, and the ability of Korean companies to raise capital. In addition, increases in credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit resulting from heightened concerns about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically that led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce or cease funding to borrowers, adversely affected Korean banks’ ability to borrow, particularly with respect to foreign currency funding, during the fourth quarter of 2008 and first half of 2009. Moreover, GDP in the first quarter of 2009 contracted by 4.3% at chained 2005 year prices compared with the same period in 2008, and exports in the first quarter of 2009 decreased by 24.8% to US$74.7 billion from US$99.4 billion in the same period in 2008. In the event that such difficult conditions in the global credit markets continue or the global economy deteriorates in the future, the Korean economy could be adversely affected and Korean banks, including us, may be forced to fund their operations at a higher cost or may be unable to raise as much funding as they need to support their lending and other activities.

In response to these developments, legislators and financial regulators in the United States and other jurisdictions, including Korea, implemented a number of policy measures designed to add stability to the

92

financial markets, including the provision of direct and indirect assistance to distressed financial institutions. In particular, the Government has implemented or announced, among other things, the following measures during the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009:

• in October 2008, the Government implemented a guarantee program to guarantee foreign currency- denominated debt incurred by Korean banks and their overseas branches between October 20, 2008 and June 30, 2009 (subsequently extended to December 31, 2009), up to an aggregate amount of US$100 billion, for a period of three years (subsequently extended to five years) from the date such debt was incurred;

• in October 2008, The Bank of Korea established a temporary reciprocal currency swap arrangement with the Federal Reserve Board of the United States for up to US$30 billion, effective until April 30, 2009 (subsequently extended to October 30, 2009). The Bank of Korea provided U.S. dollar liquidity, through competitive auction facilities, to financial institutions established in Korea, using funds from the swap line;

• in December 2008, a (Won)10 trillion bond market stabilization fund was established to purchase financial and corporate bonds and debentures in order to provide liquidity to companies and financial institutions;

• in December 2008, The Bank of Korea agreed with the People’s Bank of China to establish a bilateral currency swap arrangement for up to (Won)38 trillion, effective for three years, and agreed with the Bank of Japan to increase the maximum amount of their bilateral swap arrangement from US$3 billion to US$20 billion, effective until April 30, 2009;

• in December 2008 and March 2009, the Government, through Korea Asset Management Corporation, purchased non-performing loans held by savings banks in the amount of approximately (Won)1.7 trillion;

• in February 2009, the Government announced its plan to contribute capital to Korean banks through a (Won)20 trillion bank recapitalization fund and received applications from 14 banks;

• during the first quarter of 2009, the Government, through the Bank of Korea and the Korea Development Bank, purchased from Korean banks hybrid securities and subordinated bonds in the amount of approximately (Won)4 trillion;

• during the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, The Bank of Korea decreased the policy rate by a total of 3.25% points to 2.00% in order to address financial market instability and to help combat the slowdown of the domestic economy;

• in April 2009, the National Assembly authorized the expansion of the 2009 national budget by (Won)28.4 trillion to provide stimulus for the Korean economy. The stimulus plan includes (Won)17.2 trillion to be used for cash handouts, low-interest loans, infrastructure spending and job training, as well as (Won)11.2 trillion in various tax incentives; and

• in December 2009, the Government, together with the member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, China and Japan, signed the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization Agreement to address balance-of-payments and short-term liquidity difficulties in the region and to supplement the existing international financial arrangements.

However, the overall impact of these legislative and regulatory efforts on the financial markets is uncertain, and they may not have the intended stabilizing effects.

While the rate of deterioration of the global economy slowed in the second half of 2009 and into 2010, with some signs of stabilization and possible improvement, the overall prospects for the Korean and global economy in 2010 and beyond remain uncertain. For example, in November 2009, the Dubai government announced a moratorium on the outstanding debt of Dubai World, a government-affiliated investment company.

93

In addition, many governments in Europe are showing increasing signs of fiscal stress and may experience difficulties in meeting their debt service requirements. For example, in November 2008, the Icelandic government, facing mounting debt problems, reached an agreement with the IMF to receive loans in the amount of US$2.1 billion over a two-year period. In addition, in May 2010, the Greek government reached an agreement with the IMF and the European Union to receive loans in the amount of Euro 115 billion over a three-year period. Any of these or other developments could potentially trigger another financial and economic crisis, which could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and financial markets (including depreciation of the value of the Won, decline and volatility in the stock prices of Korean companies, increases in credit spreads and funding costs and decreases in exports) and our financial conditions and results of operations.

Furthermore, while many governments worldwide are considering or are in the process of implementing “exit strategies”, in the form of reduced government spending, higher interest rates or otherwise, with respect to the economic stimulus measures adopted in response to the global financial crisis, such strategies may, for reasons related to timing, magnitude or other factors, have the unintended consequence of prolonging or worsening global economic and financial difficulties. In light of the high level of interdependence of the global economy, any of the foregoing developments could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and financial markets.

Gross Domestic Product

Gross domestic product, or GDP, measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country for a given period and reveals whether a country’s productive output rises or falls over time. Economists present GDP in both current market prices and “real” or “inflation-adjusted” terms. In March 2009, the Republic adopted a method known as the “chain-linked” measure of GDP, replacing the previous fixed-base, or “constant” measure of GDP, to show the real growth of the aggregate economic activity, as recommended by the System of National Accounts 1993. GDP at current market prices values a country’s output using the actual prices of each year, whereas the “chain-linked” measure of GDP is compiled by using “chained indices” linking volume growth between consecutive time periods.

Industrial production increased by 6.3% in 2005, primarily due to strong exports and increased domestic consumption. Industrial production increased by 8.4% in 2006, primarily due to increased exports and domestic consumption. Industrial production increased by 6.9% in 2007, primarily due to solid export growth and domestic consumption. Industrial production growth was only 3.4% in 2008, primarily due to a slowdown in growth of exports and domestic consumption as a result of adverse global and Korean economic conditions beginning in the second half of 2008. Based on preliminary data, industrial production decreased by 0.8% in 2009.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector increased production by 6.3% in 2005, 8.7% in 2006, 7.1% in 2007 and 3.4% in 2008. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, the manufacturing sector decreased production by 0.9%.

Light Industry. In 2005, light industry recorded a 2.6% decrease due to decreased production of textile, wood products, publishing and printing, furniture and non-metallic mineral products. In 2006, light industry recorded a 3.6% increase. In 2007, light industry recorded a 2.0% increase. In 2008, light industry recorded a decrease of 2.1%.

Automobiles. In 2005, automobile production increased by 6.6%, domestic sales volume recorded an increase of 4.5% and export sales volume recorded an increase of 8.7%, compared with 2004. In 2005, export sales of automobiles constituted approximately 9.6% of the Republic’s total exports. In 2006, automobile production increased by 3.8%, domestic sales volume recorded an increase of 1.9% and export sales volume recorded an increase of 2.4%, compared with 2005. In 2006, export sales of automobiles constituted approximately 9.4% of the Republic’s total exports. In 2007, automobile production increased by 6.4%, domestic sales volume recorded an increase of 4.7% and export sales volume recorded an increase of 7.5%, compared with 2006. In 2007, export sales of automobiles constituted approximately 9.3% of the Republic’s total exports. In 2008, automobile production decreased by 6.4%, domestic sales volume recorded a decrease of 5.3% and export sales volume recorded a decrease of 5.7%, compared with 2007, primarily due to a decrease in the domestic and global demand for automobiles as a result of adverse global and Korean economic conditions. In 2008, export sales of automobiles constituted approximately 7.4% of the Republic’s total exports. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, automobile production decreased by 8.2%, domestic sales volume recorded an increase of 20.7% and export sales volume recorded a decrease of 19.9%, compared with 2008, primarily due to the continued decrease in global demand for automobiles. In 2009, export sales of automobiles constituted approximately 6.2% of the Republic’s total exports. The automobile stimulus programs of a number of governments, including those in the United States and Europe, encouraged demand for automobiles in the relevant countries for the first nine months of 2009, the effect of which partially offset the decrease in global demand for Korean automobiles during the duration of such stimulus programs. In the fourth quarter of 2009, export sales of automobiles increased compared to previous quarters of 2009, primarily due to the recovery of global demand for automobiles, the effect of which more than offset the negative impact of termination of most of such governments’ automobile stimulus programs in the second half of 2009.

Electronics. In 2005, electronics production increased by 17.6% and exports increased by 16.5%, each compared with 2004 primarily due to continued growth in exports of semiconductor memory chips and global information technology products. In 2005, export sales of semiconductor memory chips constituted approximately 10.5% of the Republic’s total exports. In 2006, electronics production increased by 22.3% and exports increased by 18.6%, each compared with 2005. In 2006, export sales of semiconductor memory chips constituted approximately 11.5% of the Republic’s total exports. In 2007, electronics production increased by 13.6% and exports increased by 13.7%, each compared with 2006. In 2007, export sales of semiconductor memory chips constituted approximately 10.5% of the Republic’s total exports. In 2008, electronics production increased by 9.4% and exports increased by 8.9%, each compared with 2007. In 2008, export sales of semiconductor memory chips constituted approximately 7.8% of the Republic’s total exports.

Iron and Steel. In 2005, crude steel production totaled 47.8 million tons, an increase of 0.6% from 2004. Domestic sales volume decreased by 2.7% but export sales volume increased by 7.8% due to continued strong

demand in China. In 2006, crude steel production totaled 48.5 million tons, an increase of 1.3% from 2005. Domestic sales volume decreased by 4.1% but export sales volume increased by 11.9%. In 2007, crude steel production totaled 51.5 million tons, an increase of 6.3% from 2006. Domestic sales volume increased by 7.0% and export sales volume increased by 5.2%. In 2008, crude steel production totaled 53.3 million tons, an increase of 3.8% from 2007. Domestic sales volume increased by 0.5% and export sales volume increased by 8.6%. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, crude steel production totaled 48.6 million tons, a decrease of 8.9% from 2008. Domestic sales volume and export sales volume decreased by 13.8% and 1.2%, respectively.

Shipbuilding. In 2005, the Republic’s shipbuilding orders amounted to 12.2 million compensated gross tons, a decrease of 21.8% compared to 2004. In 2006, the Republic’s shipbuilding orders amounted to 20.6 million compensated gross tons, an increase of 68.9% compared to 2005. In 2007, the Republic’s shipbuilding orders amounted to 33.0 million compensated gross tons, an increase of 60.2% compared to 2006. In 2008, the Republic’s shipbuilding orders amounted to 17.7 million compensated gross tons, a decrease of 46.4% compared to 2007. The shipbuilding industry is currently experiencing a downturn as a result of a decrease in ship orders due to adverse global economic conditions.

Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

The Government’s agricultural policy has traditionally focused on:

• grain production;

• development of irrigation systems;

• land consolidation and reclamation;

• seed improvement;

• mechanization measures to combat drought and flood damage; and

• increasing agricultural incomes.

Recently, however, the Government has increased emphasis on cultivating profitable crops and strengthening international competitiveness in anticipation of opening the domestic agricultural market.

In 2005, rice production increased 6.7% from 2004 to 4.8 million tons. In 2006, rice production decreased 2.1% from 2005 to 4.7 million tons. In 2007, rice production decreased 6.4% from 2006 to 4.4 million tons. In 2008, rice production increased 9.1% from 2007 to 4.8 million tons. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, rice production increased 2.1% from 2008 to 4.9 million tons. Due to limited crop yields resulting from geographical and physical constraints, the Republic depends on imports for certain basic foodstuffs. In 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Republic’s self sufficiency ratio was 50.3%, 54.0%, 53.6% and 51.1%, respectively.

The Government is seeking to develop the fishing industry by encouraging the building of large fishing vessels and modernizing fishing equipment, marketing techniques and distribution outlets.

In 2005, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry increased by 1.3% compared to 2004 primarily due to slightly increased production of rice, fruits and corns. In 2006, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry increased by 1.5% compared to 2005 primarily due to an increase in the cultivation and livestock industry. In 2007, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry increased by 4.0% compared to 2006 primarily due to an increase in fishing catch which offset a decrease in the production of rice. Based on preliminary data, in 2008, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry increased by 5.5% compared to 2007. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry increased by 1.6% compared to 2008.

101

Construction

In 2005, the construction industry decreased by 0.3% compared to 2004 primarily due to a slight decrease in residential and commercial construction. In 2006, the construction industry increased by 2.2% compared to 2005 primarily due to an increase in the construction of residential and commercial buildings. In 2007, the construction industry increased by 2.6% compared to 2006 primarily due to an increase in the construction of commercial buildings which offset a slight decrease in the construction of residential buildings. Based on preliminary data, in 2008, the construction industry decreased by 2.4% compared to 2007 primarily due to a significant decrease in the construction of commercial and residential buildings. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, the construction industry increased by 1.9% compared to 2008.

The construction industry is currently experiencing a significant downturn, due to excessive investment in recent years in residential property development projects, stagnation of real property prices and reduced demand for residential property, especially in areas outside of Seoul, as a result of deteriorating conditions in the Korean economy. The Government has recently taken measures to support the Korean construction industry, including a (Won)5 trillion program to buy unsold housing units and land from construction companies. However, the effect of these measures is uncertain and the construction industry may continue to experience adverse conditions.

Electricity and Gas

The following table sets out the Republic’s dependence on imports for energy consumption:

Korea has almost no domestic oil or gas production and depends on imported oil and gas to meet its energy requirements. Accordingly, the international prices of oil and gas significantly affect the Korean economy. Any significant long-term increase in the prices of oil and gas will increase inflationary pressures in Korea and adversely affect the Republic’s balance of trade.

102

To reduce its dependence on oil and gas imports, the Government has encouraged energy conservation and energy source diversification emphasizing nuclear energy. The following table sets out the principal primary sources of energy consumed in the Republic, expressed in oil equivalents and as a percentage of total energy consumption.

The Republic’s first nuclear power plant went into full operation in 1978 with a rated generating capacity of 587 megawatts. Construction of an additional 18 nuclear power plants was completed by July 2004, adding 16,129 megawatts of generating capacity. The Republic’s total nuclear power generating capacity is estimated to be 17,716 megawatts as of December 31, 2008.

The inflation rate, on an annualized basis, was 2.8% in 2005, 2.2% in 2006, 2.5% in 2007, 4.7% in 2008 and 2.8% in 2009. The inflation rate was 2.7% in the first quarter of 2010 and 2.6% in the second quarter of 2010, each compared to the same period of 2009.

The unemployment rate was 3.7% in 2005, 3.5% in 2006, 3.2% in 2007, 3.2% in 2008, 3.6% in 2009, 4.7% in the first quarter of 2010 and 3.5% in the second quarter of 2010.

From 1992 to 2009, the economically active population of the Republic increased by approximately 24.8% to 24.3 million, while the number of employees increased by approximately 23.7% to 23.5 million. The economically active population over 15 years old as a percentage of the total over-15 population has remained between 60% and 63% over the past decade. Literacy among workers under 50 is almost universal.

As of July 1, 2004, the Republic adopted a five-day workweek for large corporations with over 1,000 employees, publicly-owned (state-run) companies, banks and insurance companies, reducing working hours from 44 to 40 hours a week. The adoption of the five-day workweek has been extended to companies with over 300 employees and to government employees as of July 1, 2005 and to companies with over 100 employees as of July 1, 2006. Companies with more than 50 employees adopted the five-day workweek as of July 1, 2007 and those with over 20 adopted the five-day workweek as of July 1, 2008. Companies with less than 20 employees are also scheduled to adopt the five-day workweek by the end of 2011.

Approximately 10.5% of the Republic’s workers were unionized as of December 31, 2008. In the early 2000s, the labor unions of several of the Republic’s largest commercial banks, including Kookmin Bank, Chohung Bank (which was later acquired by Shinhan Bank) and Citibank Korea Inc. (formerly KorAm Bank), staged strikes in response to consolidation in the banking industry. In addition, in the summer of 2004 and 2005, respectively, unionized workers of GS Caltex Corporation and Asiana Airlines staged strikes demanding better compensation and working conditions. In the fall of 2005, unionized workers at Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors Corp. went on strikes during annual contract talks. In December 2005, Korean Air’s unionized pilots also staged strikes demanding a higher wage increase. In the summer of 2006, unionized workers of Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors Corp. went on partial strikes demanding better compensation and working conditions, and unionized workers of Ssangyong Motor Company went on strike in response to the company’s proposed layoff plans. In July 2006, unionized workers of POSCO’s subcontractors initiated a sit-in strike at POSCO’s headquarters in Pohang demanding better wages and working conditions, disrupting POSCO’s operations for nine days. In June 2007, unionized workers of Hyundai Motor Company went on partial strikes demanding a higher bonus increase. Also, in May 2009, unionized workers of Ssangyong Motor Company went on full-scale strike and illegally occupied the company’s factory premises in Pyungtaek opposing the company’s reorganization plan. Actions such as these by labor unions may hinder implementation of the labor reform measures and disrupt the Government’s plans to create a more flexible labor market. Although much effort is being expended to resolve labor disputes in a peaceful manner, there can be no assurance that further labor unrest will not occur in the future. Continued labor unrest in key industries of the Republic may have an adverse effect on the economy.

In 1997, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions organized a political alliance, which led to the formation of the Democratic Labor Party in January 2000. The Democratic Labor Party, which seeks to represent the interests of workers, controls five seats in the National Assembly from May 30, 2008 as a result of the 18th legislative general election held on April 9, 2008.

The Financial System

Structure of the Financial Sector

The Republic’s financial sector includes the following categories of financial institutions:

• The Bank of Korea;

• banking institutions;

• non-bank financial institutions; and

• other financial entities, including:

• financial investment companies;

• credit guarantee institutions;

• venture capital companies; and

• miscellaneous others.

To increase transparency in financial transactions and enhance the integrity and efficiency of the financial markets, Korean law requires that financial institutions confirm that their clients use their real names when transacting business. To ease the liquidity crisis, the Government altered the real-name financial transactions system during 1998, to allow the sale or deposit of foreign currencies through domestic financial institutions and the purchase of certain bonds, including Government bonds, without identification. The Government also strengthened confidentiality protection for private financial transactions.

In July 2007, the Korean National Assembly passed the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act or FSCMA, under which various industry-based capital markets regulatory systems currently were consolidated into a single regulatory system. The FSCMA, which became effective in February 2009, expands the scope of permitted investment-related financial products and activities through expansive definitions of financial instruments and function- based regulations that allow financial investment companies to offer a wider range of financial services, as well as strengthening investor protection and disclosure requirements. The Enforcement Decree of the FSCMA classifies the financial investment companies into a total of 77 categories depending on the types of (i) financial investment services, (ii) financial investment products, and (iii) investors.

Prior to the effective date of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, separate laws regulated various types of financial institutions depending on the type of the financial institution (for example, securities companies, futures companies, trust business companies and asset management companies) and subjected financial institutions to different licensing and ongoing regulatory requirements (for example, under the Securities and Exchange Act, the Futures Business Act and the Indirect Investment Asset Management Business Act). By applying one uniform set of rules to financial businesses having the same economic function, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act attempts to improve and address issues caused by the previous regulatory system under which the same economic function relating to capital markets-related business were governed by multiple regulations. To this end, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act categorizes capital markets-related businesses into six different functions, as follows:

• investment dealing (trading and underwriting of financial investment products);

• investment brokerage (brokerage of financial investment products);

• collective investment (establishment of collective investment schemes and the management thereof);

• investment advice;

• discretionary investment management; and

• trusts (together with the five businesses set forth above, “Financial Investment Businesses”).

105

Accordingly, all financial businesses relating to financial investment products are reclassified as one or more of the Financial Investment Businesses described above, and financial institutions are subject to the regulations applicable to their relevant Financial Investment Businesses, irrespective of what type of financial institution it is. For example, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, derivative businesses conducted by securities companies and future companies will be subject to the same regulations under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, at least in principle.

The banking business and the insurance business are not subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and will continue to be regulated under separate laws; provided, however, that they are subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act if their activities involve any Financial Investment Businesses requiring a license based on the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.

Banking Industry

The banking industry comprises commercial banks and specialized banks. Commercial banks serve the general public and corporate sectors. They include nationwide banks, regional banks and branches of foreign banks. Regional banks provide services similar to nationwide banks, but operate in a geographically restricted region. Branches of foreign banks have operated in the Republic since 1967 but provide a relatively small proportion of the country’s banking services. As of December 31, 2009, commercial banks consisted of seven nationwide banks, all of which have branch networks throughout the Republic, six regional banks and 53 branches of 38 foreign banks operating in the country. Nationwide and regional banks had, in the aggregate, 5,498 domestic branches and offices, 41 overseas branches, 20 overseas representative offices and 30 overseas subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009.

Specialized banks meet the needs of specific sectors of the economy in accordance with Government policy; they are organized under, or chartered by, special laws. Specialized banks include:

• The Korea Development Bank;

• The Export-Import Bank of Korea;

• The Industrial Bank of Korea;

• National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (which merged with the National Livestock Cooperative Federation in July 2000); and

• National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives.

The economic difficulties in 1997 and 1998 caused an increase in Korean banks’ non-performing assets and a decline in capital adequacy ratios of Korean banks. From 1998 through 2002, the Financial Services Commission amended banking regulations several times to adopt more stringent criteria for non-performing loans that more closely followed international standards. The new criteria increased the level of non-performing loans held by banks and other financial institutions. The following table sets out the total loans and discounts and non-performing assets of the commercial banking sector.

	Total Loans	Non-Performing Assets	Percentage of Total
	(trillions of won)		(percentage)
December 31, 2005	795.2	7.8	1.0
December 31, 2006	930.2	6.5	0.7
December 31, 2007	1,073.8	6.5	0.6
December 31, 2008(1)	1,288.1	11.0	0.9
December 31, 2009(1)	1,308.3	15.7	1.2

106

Most of the growth in total loans since the end of 2002 has been attributable to loans to the retail sector, accounting for 37.2% of total loans as of February 28, 2009, compared to 34.3% as of December 31, 1999.

In 2005, a group of the Republic’s banks, including seven nationwide commercial banks, six regional commercial banks and five special banks, posted an aggregate net profit of (Won)13.6 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of (Won)8.8 trillion in 2004, primarily due to decreased loan loss provisions and increased commissions and foreign exchange revenues. In 2006, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of (Won)13.6 trillion. In 2007, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of (Won)15.0 trillion. Based on preliminary data, in 2008, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of (Won)7.9 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of (Won)15.0 trillion in 2007, primarily due to increased loan loss provisions. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of (Won)7.1 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of (Won)7.9 trillion in 2008, primarily due to increased non-performing loans.

Non-Bank Financial Institutions

Non-bank financial institutions include:

• savings institutions, including trust accounts of banks, mutual savings banks, credit unions, mutual credit facilities, community credit cooperatives and postal savings;

• life insurance institutions; and

• credit card companies.

The country had 105 mutual savings banks as of December 31, 2009, with assets totaling (Won)82.4 trillion.

As of December 31, 2009, 12 domestic life insurance institutions, two joint venture life insurance institutions and eight wholly-owned subsidiaries of foreign life insurance companies, with assets totaling approximately (Won)361.4 trillion as of December 31, 2009, were operating in the Republic.

As of December 31, 2009, six credit card companies operated in the country with loans totaling approximately (Won)43.9 trillion, of which 2.2% were classified as non-performing loans.

Money Markets

In the Republic, the money markets consist of the call market and markets for a wide range of other short- term financial instruments, including treasury bills, monetary stabilization bonds, negotiable certificates of deposits, repurchase agreements and commercial paper.

Securities Markets

On January 27, 2005, the Korea Exchange was established pursuant to the now repealed Korea Securities and Futures Exchange Act by consolidating the Korea Stock Exchange, the Korea Futures Exchange, the KOSDAQ Stock Market, Inc., or the KOSDAQ, and the KOSDAQ Committee of the Korea Securities Dealers Association, which had formerly managed the KOSDAQ. There are three different markets operated by the Korea Exchange: the KRX KOSPI Market, the KRX KOSDAQ Market, and the KRX Derivatives Market. The Korea Exchange has two trading floors located in Seoul, one for the KRX KOSPI Market and one for the KRX KOSDAQ Market, and one trading floor in Busan for the KRX Derivatives Market. The Korea Exchange is a limited liability company, the shares of which are held by (i) financial investment companies that were formerly members of the Korea Futures Exchange or the Korea Stock Exchange and (ii) the stockholders of the KOSDAQ. Currently, the Korea Exchange is the only stock exchange in Korea and is operated by membership, having as its members Korean financial investment companies and some Korean branches of foreign financial investment companies.

107

The Korea Exchange publishes the Korea Composite Stock Price Index every ten seconds, which is an index of all equity securities listed on the Korea Exchange. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index is computed using the aggregate value method, whereby the market capitalizations of all listed companies are aggregated, subject to certain adjustments, and this aggregate is expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market capitalization of all listed companies as of the base date, January 4, 1980.

The fall resulted from growing concerns about the Republic’s weakening financial and corporate sectors, the Republic’s falling foreign currency reserves, the sharp depreciation of the Won against the U.S. Dollar and other external factors, such as a sharp decline in stock prices in Hong Kong on October 24, 1997 and financial turmoil in Southeast Asian countries. The Korea Composite Stock Price Index recovered to reach a high of 2,064.9 in late 2007 but since then the index declined. As liquidity and credit concerns and volatility in the global financial markets increased significantly since September 2008, there was a significant overall decline and continuing volatility in the stock prices of Korean companies during the fourth quarter of 2008 and first half of 2009. The index was 1,767.7 on August 23, 2010.

Supervision System

The Office of Bank Supervision, the Securities Supervisory Board, the Insurance Supervisory Board and all other financial sector regulatory bodies merged in January 1999 to form the Financial Services Commission. The Financial Services Commission acts as the executive body over the Financial Supervisory Service. The Financial Services Commission reports to, but operates independently of, the Prime Minister’s office.

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance (formerly the Ministry of Finance and Economy) focuses on financial policy and foreign currency regulations. The Bank of Korea manages monetary policy focusing on price stabilization.

Deposit Insurance System

The Republic’s deposit insurance system insures amounts on deposit with banks, non-bank financial institutions, securities companies and life insurance companies.

Since January 2001, deposits at any single financial institution are insured only up to (Won)50 million regardless of the amount deposited.

The Government recently excluded certain deposits, such as repurchase agreements, from the insurance scheme, expanded the definition of unsound financial institutions to which the insurance scheme would apply and increased the insurance premiums payable by insured financial institutions.

Monetary Policy

The Bank of Korea

The Bank of Korea was established in 1950 as Korea’s central bank and the country’s sole currency issuing bank. A seven-member Monetary Policy Committee, chaired by the Governor of The Bank of Korea, formulates and controls monetary and credit policies.

Inflation targeting is the basic system of operation for Korean monetary policy. The consumer price index is used as The Bank of Korea’s target indicator. To achieve its established inflation target, the Monetary Policy Committee of The Bank of Korea determines and announces the “Bank of Korea Base Rate,” the reference rate applied in transactions such as repurchase agreements between The Bank of Korea and its financial institution counterparts. The Bank of Korea uses open market operations as its primary instrument to keep the call rate in line with the Monetary Policy Committee’s target rate. In addition, The Bank of Korea is able to establish policies regarding its lending to banks in Korea and their reserve requirements.

Interest Rates

On July 10, 2003, The Bank of Korea cut its policy rate to 3.75% from 4.00%, which was further lowered to 3.5% on August 12, 2004 and 3.25% on November 11, 2004, in order to help economic recovery and to address financial market instability. On October 11, 2005, The Bank of Korea raised the policy rate to 3.5%, which was further raised to 3.75% on December 8, 2005, to 4.0% on February 9, 2006, to 4.25% on June 8, 2006 and to 4.50% on August 10, 2006, in response to the increasing side-effects of a low interest rate environment including inflationary pressures coupled with signs of recovery of the real economy. On July 12, 2007, The Bank of Korea raised the policy rate to 4.75% from 4.5%, and raised it further to 5.0% on August 9, 2007. The rationale for this change was the concern that the ample market liquidity might put upside pressure on inflation in the medium to long term as the economic upswing continued. On August 7, 2008, The Bank of Korea raised the policy rate to 5.25% from 5.0%, taking the view that inflation in consumer prices had picked up its pace, due to the direct and indirect effects of high oil prices, at a time when domestic economic activity had slackened. On October 9, 2008, The Bank of Korea cut its policy rate to 5.0% from 5.25%, and continued to lower it further to 4.25% on October 27, 2008, 4.0% on November 7, 2008, 3.0% on December 11, 2008, 2.5% on January 9, 2009 and 2.0% on February 12, 2009, in order to address financial market instability and to help combat the slowdown of the domestic economy. On July 9, 2010, The Bank of Korea raised the policy rate to 2.25% from 2.0%.

With the deregulation of interest rates on banks’ demand deposits on February 2, 2004, The Bank of Korea completed the interest rate deregulation based upon the “Four-Stage Interest Rate Liberalization Plan” announced in 1991. The prohibition on the payment of interest on ordinary checking accounts was, however, maintained.

Exchange Controls

Authorized foreign exchange banks, as registered with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, handle foreign exchange transactions. The ministry has designated other types of financial institutions to handle foreign exchange transactions on a limited basis.

Korean laws and regulations generally require a report to either the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, The Bank of Korea or authorized foreign exchange banks, as applicable, for issuances of international bonds and other instruments, overseas investments and certain other transactions involving foreign exchange payments.

In 1994 and 1995, the Government relaxed regulations of foreign exchange position ceilings and foreign exchange transaction documentation and created free Won accounts which may be opened by non-residents at Korean foreign exchange banks. The Won funds deposited into the free Won accounts may be converted into foreign currencies and remitted outside Korea without any governmental approval. In December 1996, after joining the OECD, the Republic freed the repatriation of investment funds, dividends and profits, as well as loan repayments and interest payments. The Government continues to reduce exchange controls in response to changes in the world economy, including the new trade regime under the WTO, anticipating that such foreign exchange reform will improve the Republic’s competitiveness and encourage strategic alliances between domestic and foreign entities.

In September 1998, the National Assembly passed the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, which became effective in April 1999 and was subsequently amended in October 2000, December 2000, December 2005, October 2006, January 2007, February 2008, January 2009 and April 2009. In principle, most currency and capital transactions, including, among others, the following transactions, have been liberalized:

• the investment in real property located overseas by Korean companies and financial institutions;

• the establishment of overseas branches and subsidiaries by Korean companies and financial institutions;

• the investment by non-residents in deposits and trust products having more than one year maturities; and

• the issuance of debentures by non-residents in the Korean market.

To minimize the adverse effects from further opening of the Korean capital markets, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance is authorized to introduce a variable deposit requirement system to restrict the influx of short-term speculative funds.

The Government has also embarked on a second set of liberalization initiatives starting in January 2001, under which ceilings on international payments for Korean residents have been eliminated, including overseas travel expenses, overseas inheritance remittances and emigration expenses. Overseas deposits, trusts, acquisitions of foreign securities and other foreign capital transactions made by residents and the making of deposits in Korean currency by non-residents have also been liberalized. In line with the foregoing liberalization, measures will also be adopted to curb illegal foreign exchange transactions and to stabilize the foreign exchange market.

Effective as of January 1, 2006, the Government liberalized the regulations governing “capital transactions.” The regulations provide that no regulatory approvals are required for any capital transactions. The capital transactions previously subject to approval requirements are now subject only to reporting requirements.

In January 2010, the Financial Supervisory Services released FX Derivative Transactions Risk Management Guideline to prevent over-hedging of foreign exchange risk by corporate investors. According to the guideline, if a corporate investor, other than a financial institution or a public enterprise, wishes to enter into a foreign exchange forward, option or swap agreement with a bank, the bank is required to verify whether the corporate investor’s

111

assets, liabilities or contracts face foreign exchange risks that could be mitigated by a foreign exchange forward, option or swap agreement. In addition, the bank is required to ensure that the corporate investor’s risk hedge ratio, which is the ratio of the aggregate notional amount to the aggregate amount of risk, does not exceed 125%.

Prior to November 1997, the Government permitted exchange rates to float within a daily range of 2.25%. In response to the substantial downward pressures on the Won caused by the Republic’s economic difficulties in late 1997, in November 1997, the Government expanded the range of permitted daily exchange rate fluctuations to 10%. The Government eliminated the daily exchange rate band in December 1997, and the Won now floats according to market forces. The value of the Won relative to the U.S. dollar depreciated from (Won)888.1 to US$1.00 on June 30, 1997 to (Won)1,964.8 to US$1.00 on December 24, 1997. Due to improved economic conditions and increases in trade surplus, the Won has generally appreciated against the U.S. dollar, although the trend reversed in March 2008. During the period from January 2, 2008 through April 16, 2009, the value of the Won relative to the U.S. dollar declined by approximately 29.9%, due primarily to adverse economic conditions resulting from liquidity and credit concerns and volatility in the global credit and financial markets and repatriations by foreign investors of their investments in the Korean stock market. The market average exchange rate was (Won)1,179.9 to US$1.00 on August 23, 2010.

Balance of Payments and Foreign Trade

Balance of Payments

Balance of payments figures measure the relative flow of goods, services and capital into and out of the country as represented in the current balance and the capital balance. The current balance tracks a country’s trade in goods and services and transfer payments and measures whether a country is living within its income from trading and investments. The capital balance covers all transactions involving the transfer of capital into and out of the country, including loans and investments. The overall balance represents the sum of the current and capital

113

balances. An overall balance surplus indicates a net inflow of foreign currencies, thereby increasing demand for and strengthening the local currency. An overall balance deficit indicates a net outflow of foreign currencies, thereby decreasing demand for and weakening the local currency. The financial account mirrors the overall balance. If the overall balance is positive, the surplus, which represents the nation’s savings, finances the overall deficit of the country’s trading partners. Accordingly, the financial account will indicate cash outflows equal to the overall surplus. If, however, the overall balance is negative, the nation has an international deficit which must be financed. Accordingly, the financial account will indicate cash inflows equal to the overall deficit.

The following table sets out certain information with respect to the Republic’s balance of payments:

The Republic recorded a current account deficit of approximately US$5.8 billion in 2008 compared with a current account surplus of US$5.9 billion in 2007, primarily due to a significant decrease in surplus from the goods account.

Based on preliminary data, the Republic recorded a current account surplus of approximately US$42.7 billion in 2009 compared with a current account deficit of US$5.8 billion in 2008, primarily due to a significant increase in surplus from the goods account.

Based on preliminary data, the Republic recorded a current account surplus of approximately US$11.6 billion in the first half of 2010. The current account surplus in the first half of 2010 decreased from the current account surplus of US$21.7 billion in the first half of 2009, primarily due to an increase in deficit from the services account and a decrease in surplus from the goods account.

Foreign Direct Investment

Since 1960, the Government has adopted a broad range of related laws, administrative rules and regulations, providing a framework for the conduct and regulation of foreign investment activities. In September 1998, the Government promulgated the Foreign Investment Promotion Act (the “FIPA”), which replaced previous foreign direct investment related laws, rules and regulations, to promote inbound foreign investments by providing incentives to, and facilitating investment activities in the Republic by, foreign nationals. The FIPA prescribes, among others, procedural requirements for inbound foreign investments, incentives for foreign investments such as tax reductions, and requirements relating to designation and development of foreign investment target regions.

114

The Government believes that providing a stable and receptive environment for foreign direct investment will accelerate the inflow of foreign capital, technology and management techniques.

The following table sets forth information regarding annual foreign direct investment in the Republic for the periods indicated.

In 2009, the contracted and reported amount of foreign direct investment in the Republic decreased to US$11.5 billion from US$11.7 billion in 2008, primarily due to a decrease in foreign investment in the service sector to US$7.6 billion in 2009 from US$8.4 billion in 2008, which more than offset an increase in foreign investment in the manufacturing sector to US$3.7 billion in 2009 from US$3.0 billion in 2008.

Trade Balance

Trade balance figures measure the difference between a country’s exports and imports. If exports exceed imports the country has a trade balance surplus while if imports exceed exports the country has a deficit. A deficit, indicating that a country’s receipts from abroad fall short of its payments to foreigners, must be financed, rendering the country a debtor nation. A surplus, indicating that a country’s receipts exceed its payments to foreigners, allows the country to finance its trading partners’ net deficit to the extent of the surplus, rendering the country a creditor nation.

The following table summarizes the Republic’s trade balance for the periods indicated:

Overall exports increased during the period from 2005 to 2008 primarily due to the continued increase in global demand (including strong demand in China) for electronics products (including semiconductors and information technology products), iron and steel products and machinery and precision equipment. Overall exports decreased in 2009 compared to 2008 due to the effects of the global financial crisis on global demand for goods in general.

The Republic, due to its lack of natural resources, relies on extensive trading activity for growth. The country meets virtually all domestic requirements for petroleum, wood and rubber with imports, as well as much of its coal and iron needs. Exports consistently represent a high percentage of GDP and, accordingly, the international economic environment is of crucial importance to the Republic’s economy.

In 2003, the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and the avian influenza in Asia (including China) and other parts of the world increased uncertainty about prospects for international trade and economic growth for affected countries, as well as world economic prospects in general. The avian influenza carried by migrating wild birds spread to several Asian countries, Russia, Romania and Turkey. In response to these outbreaks of avian influenza, the Government issued an advisory on disease prevention as of October 14, 2005 and conducted special monitoring of poultry farms. In addition, the Government continued to cooperate with regional and international efforts to develop and implement additional measures to contain and prevent SARS, the avian influenza and other diseases. Another outbreak of SARS, the avian influenza or similar incidents in the future may have an adverse effect on Korean and world economies and on international trade.

In April 2007, the Republic and the United States reached an agreement on a bilateral free trade agreement, or FTA, which was subsequently signed by both nations in June 2007. The FTA was submitted for ratification to the Korean National Assembly in September 2007. As of August 20, 2010, the FTA has not been submitted for ratification to the U.S. Congress.

Non-Commodities Trade Balance

The non-commodities trade deficit increased to US$15.2 billion in 2005, US$18.4 billion in 2006 and US$18.8 billion in 2007 but decreased to US$10.8 billion. Based on preliminary data, in 2009, the non-commodities trade deficit increased to US$12.6 billion.

The Government’s foreign currency reserves increased to US$262.2 billion as of December 31, 2007 from US$8.9 billion as of December 31, 1997, primarily due to continued balance of trade surpluses and capital inflows. In 2008, the Government’s foreign currency reserves decreased, falling to US$201.2 billion as of December 31, 2008, partially as a result of the Government’s use of the foreign currency reserve to provide foreign currency liquidity to Korean financial institutions and to defend the value of the Won against depreciation. The amount of the Government’s foreign currency reserve was US$286.0 billion as of July 31, 2010.

Government Finance

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance prepares the Government budget and administers the Government’s finances.

The Government’s fiscal year commences on January 1. The Ministry of Strategy and Finance must submit the budget to the National Assembly not later than 90 days prior to the start of the fiscal year and may submit supplementary budgets revising the original budget at any time during the fiscal year.

The consolidated Government account consists of a General Account, Special Accounts (including a non-financial public enterprise special account) and Public Funds. The Government segregates the accounts of certain functions of the Government into Special Accounts and Public Funds for more effective administration and fiscal control. The Special Accounts and Public Funds relate to business type activities, such as economic development, road and railway construction and maintenance, monopolies, and communications developments and the administration of loans received from official international financial organizations and foreign governments.

Revenues derive mainly from national taxes and non-tax revenues. Taxes in Korea can be roughly classified into the following types:

• income tax and capital gains tax,

• property tax,

• value-added tax,

• customs duty tax, and

• other taxes.

121

Income tax and capital gains tax are imposed on income derived from labor, business operation and ownership of assets and profits derived from capital appreciation. Income tax and capital gains tax, depending on the type of taxpayer, can be further classified into corporate income tax and individual income tax. Property tax is imposed on exchange or ownership of property and includes inheritance tax and gift tax. Value-added tax is imposed on value added to goods and services. Customs duty tax is imposed on imported goods. Other taxes include tax on certain securities transactions and a stamp tax for certain documents.

Expenditures include general administration, national defense, community service, education, health, social security, certain annuities and pensions and local finance, which involves the transfer of tax revenues to local governments.

For 2004, revenues increased by approximately 4.0%, which represented 22.9% of the Republic’s GDP, principally due to higher tax revenues. Tax revenues increased principally as a result of the country’s export growth and the accompanying increase in corporate income. The Republic had a fiscal surplus of (Won)5.2 trillion in 2004.

For 2005, revenues increased by approximately 7.1%, which represented 23.6% of the Republic’s GDP, principally due to higher tax revenues. Tax revenues increased principally as a result of the country’s export growth and the accompanying increase in corporate income. The Republic had a fiscal surplus of (Won)3.5 trillion in 2005.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES

Description of Debt Securities

We will issue debt securities under a fiscal agency agreement or agreements. The description below summarizes the material provisions of the debt securities and the fiscal agency agreement. Since it is only a summary, the description may not contain all of the information that may be important to you as a potential investor in the debt securities. Therefore, we urge you to read the form of fiscal agency agreement and the form of global debt security before deciding whether to invest in the debt securities. We have filed a copy of these documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should refer to such exhibits for more complete information.

The financial terms and other specific terms of your debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to your debt securities. The description in the prospectus supplement will supplement this description or, to the extent inconsistent with this description, replace it.

We will appoint a fiscal agent or agents in connection with debt securities whose duties will be governed by the fiscal agency agreement. We may replace the fiscal agent or appoint different fiscal agents for different series of debt securities.

General Terms of the Debt Securities

We may issue debt securities in separate series at various times. The Republic may irrevocably guarantee the payment of principal of, and interest on, one or more series of debt securities. The prospectus supplement that relates to your debt securities will specify some or all of the following terms:

• the aggregate principal amount;

• the currency of denomination and payment;

• any limitation on principal amount and authorized denominations;

• the percentage of their principal amount at which the debt securities will be issued;

• the maturity date or dates;

• the interest rate for the debt securities and, if variable, the method by which the interest rate will be calculated;

• whether any amount payable in respect of the debt securities will be determined based on an index or formula, and how any such amount will be determined;

• the dates from which interest, if any, will accrue for payment of interest and the record dates for any such interest payments;

• where and how we will pay principal and interest;

• whether and in what circumstances the debt securities may be redeemed before maturity;

• any sinking fund or similar provision;

• whether any part or all of the debt securities will be in the form of a global security and the circumstances in which a global security is exchangeable for certificated securities;

• if issued in certificated form, whether the debt securities will be in bearer form with interest coupons, if any, or in registered form without interest coupons, or both forms, and any restrictions on exchanges from one form to the other;

• whether any of the terms set out herein will differ for the debt securities;

128

• whether the Republic will irrevocably guarantee the payment of principal of, and interest on, the debt securities; and

• other specific provisions.

Depending on the terms of the debt securities we issue, the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities may also describe applicable U.S. federal income tax and other considerations additional to the disclosure in this prospectus.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will maintain at an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a register for the registration of transfers of debt securities issued in registered form.

Payments of Principal, Premium and Interest

On every payment date specified in the relevant prospectus supplement, we will pay the principal, premium and/or interest due on that date to the registered holder of the relevant debt security at the close of business on the related record date. We will make all payments at the place and in the currency set out in the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant prospectus supplement or the debt securities, we will make payments in U.S. dollars at the New York office of the fiscal agent or, outside the United States, at the office of any paying agent. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement or debt securities, we will pay interest by check, payable to the registered holder.

We will make any payments on debt securities in bearer form at the offices and agencies of the fiscal agent or any other paying agent outside the United States as we may designate. At the option of the holder of the bearer debt securities, we will make such payments by check or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with a bank located outside of the United States. We will not make payments on bearer debt securities at the corporate trust office of the fiscal agent in the United States or at any other paying agency in the United States. In addition, we will not make any payment by mail to an address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained by a holder of bearer debt securities with a bank in the United States. Nevertheless, we will make payments on a bearer debt security denominated and payable in U.S. dollars at an office or agency in the United States if:

• payment outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions; and

• the payment is then permitted under United States law, without material adverse consequences to us.

If we issue bearer debt securities, we will designate the offices of at least one paying agent outside the United States as the location for payment.

Repayment of Funds; Prescription

If no one claims money paid by us to the fiscal agent for the payment of principal or interest in respect of any series of debt securities for two years after the payment was due and payable, the fiscal agent or paying agent will repay the money to us. After such repayment, the fiscal agent or paying agent will not be liable with respect to the amounts so repaid, and you may look only to us for any payment under the debt securities.

Under Korean law, you will not be permitted to file a claim against us for payment of principal or interest on any series of debt securities unless you do so within five years, in the case of principal, and three years, in the case of interest, from the date on which payment was due.

129

Global Securities

The prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities will indicate whether any of that series of debt securities will be represented by a global security. The prospectus supplement will also describe any unique specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to that series. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, we anticipate that the following provisions will apply to depositary arrangements.

Registered Ownership of the Global Security

The global security will be registered in the name of a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement, or its nominee, and will be deposited with the depositary, its nominee or a custodian. The depositary, or its nominee, will therefore be considered the sole owner or holder of debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the fiscal agency agreement. Except as specified below or in the applicable prospectus supplement, beneficial owners:

• will not be entitled to have any of the debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names;

• will not receive physical delivery of any debt securities in definitive form;

• will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities;

• must rely on the procedures of the depositary and, if applicable, any participants (institutions that have accounts with the depositary or a nominee of the depositary, such as securities brokers and dealers) to exercise any rights of a holder; and

• will receive payments of principal and interest from the depositary or its participants rather than directly from us.

We understand that, under existing industry practice, the depositary and participants will allow beneficial owners to take all actions required of, and exercise all rights granted to, the registered holders of the debt securities.

We will register debt securities in the name of a person other than the depositary or its nominee only if:

• the depositary for a series of debt securities is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary; or

• we determine, in our sole discretion, not to have a series of debt securities represented by a global security.

In either such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to registration of a principal amount of debt securities equal to its beneficial interest in its name and to physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form.

Beneficial Interests in and Payments on a Global Security

Only participants, and persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants, can own a beneficial interest in the global security. The depositary keeps records of the ownership and transfer of beneficial interests in the global security by its participants. In turn, participants keep records of the ownership and transfer of beneficial interests in the global security by other persons (such as their customers). No other records of the ownership and transfer of beneficial interests in the global security will be kept.

All payments on a global security will be made to the depositary or its nominee. When the depositary receives payment of principal or interest on the global security, we expect the depositary to credit its participants’ accounts with amounts that correspond to their respective beneficial interests in the global security. We also expect that, after the participants’ accounts are credited, the participants will credit the accounts of the owners of beneficial interests in the global security with amounts that correspond to the owners’ respective beneficial interests in the global security.

130

The depositary and its participants establish policies and procedures governing payments, transfers, exchanges and other important matters that affect owners of beneficial interests in a global security. The depositary and its participants may change these policies and procedures from time to time. We have no responsibility or liability for the records of ownership of beneficial interests in the global security, or for payments made or not made to owners of such beneficial interests. We also have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the relationship between the depositary and its participants or for any aspect of the relationship between participants and owners of beneficial interests in the global security.

Bearer Securities

We may issue debt securities in a series in the form of one or more bearer global debt securities deposited with a common depositary for the Euroclear and Clearstream, or with a nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The specific terms and procedures, including the specific terms of the depositary arrangement, with respect to any portion of a series of debt securities to be represented by a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Additional Amounts

We will make all payments of principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on the debt securities without withholding or deducting any present or future taxes imposed by the Republic or any of its political subdivisions, unless required by law. If Korean law requires us to deduct or withhold taxes, we will pay additional amounts as necessary to ensure that you receive the same amount as you would have received without such withholding or deduction.

We will not pay, however, any additional amounts if you are liable for Korean tax because:

• you are connected with the Republic other than by merely owning the debt security or receiving income or payments on the debt security;

• you failed to complete and submit a declaration of your status as a non-resident of the Republic after we or the relevant tax authority requested you to do so; or

• you failed to present your debt security for payment within 30 days of when the payment is due or, if the fiscal agent did not receive the money prior to the due date, the date notice is given to holders that the fiscal agent has received the full amount due to holders. Nevertheless, we will pay additional amounts to the extent you would have been entitled to such amounts had you presented your debt security for payment on the last day of the 30-day period.

We will not pay any additional amounts for taxes on the debt securities except for taxes payable through deduction or withholding from payments of principal, premium or interest. Examples of the types of taxes for which we will not pay additional amounts include the following: estate or inheritance taxes, gift taxes, sales or transfer taxes, personal property or related taxes, assessments or other governmental charges. We will pay stamp or other similar taxes that may be imposed by the Republic, the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority in one of those two countries on the fiscal agency agreement or be payable in connection with the issuance of the debt securities.

Status of Debt Securities

The debt securities will:

• constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations;

• rank at least equally in right of payment among themselves, regardless of when issued or currency of payment; and

• rank at least equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, subject to certain statutory exceptions under Korean law.

131

Negative Pledge Covenant

If any debt securities are outstanding, we will not create or permit any security interests on our assets as security for any of our indebtedness or guarantees issued by us, unless the security interest also secures our obligations under the debt securities.

We may, however, create or permit a security interest:

• on any promissory debt securities or commercial paper discounted or otherwise provided as security to or issued or held by us created in favor of The Bank of Korea in the normal operation of The Bank of Korea’s discount facilities or facilities for the funding of loans by us to our customers; or

• on any asset (or documents of title to such asset) incurred when the asset was purchased or improved to secure payment of the cost of the activity; or

• of a statutory nature arising in the ordinary course of our business but unrelated to our activities of borrowing or raising money; or

• on any real estate owned by us imposed by a tenant of such real estate as security for repayment of any key money paid by the tenant; or

• arising by operation of Korean law or given preference by law following our failure to meet an obligation, although we will not permit such a security interest to exist for more than 30 days.

Change of Support Offer

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, we will, not later than 60 days following a Change of Support Triggering Event (as defined below), make an offer to each holder of debt securities to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s debt securities pursuant to the procedures described below (a “Change of Support Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such offer is made. Any failure by us to purchase tendered debt securities shall constitute an Event of Default under the debt securities.

“Change of Support Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Ratings Decline and a Change of Support.

“Change of Support” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events:

(1) any decrease in the Republic’s ownership (direct or indirect) of us; and

(2) an amendment to Article 44 of The Korea Development Bank Act of 1953.

“Rating Agencies” means (i) Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies Inc. (“S&P”), (ii) Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and (iii) if S&P or Moody’s or both will not make a rating of us publicly available, one or more “nationally recognized statistical rating organizations,” as the case may be, within the meaning of Rule 17g-1 under the Exchange Act, selected by us, which will be substituted for S&P or Moody’s or both, as the case may be.

“Rating Category” means (i) with respect to S&P, any of the following categories: “AAA,” “AA,” “A,” “BBB,” “BB,” “B,” “CCC,” “CC,” “C” and “D” (or equivalent successor categories); (ii) with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: “Aaa,” “Aa,” “A,” “Baa,” “Ba,” “B,” “Caa,” “Ca,” “C” and “D” (or equivalent successor categories); and (iii) the equivalent of any such category of S&P or Moody’s used by another Rating Agency. In determining whether the rating of the debt securities has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (“+” and “-” for S&P; “1,” “2” and “3” for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency) will be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from “BB+” to “BB,” as well as from “BB-” to “B+,” will constitute a decrease of one gradation).

132

“Ratings Decline” means a decrease or uncoupling of our corporate rating by at least one Rating Agency by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating Categories as well as between Rating Categories) below the sovereign rating of the Republic provided that such Ratings Decline is, in whole or in part, in connection with a Change of Support.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not be required to make or complete a Change of Support Offer with respect to debt securities of any series following a Change of Support Triggering Event if the debt securities of such series shall have the benefit of a Government Guarantee (as defined in “Events of Default” below) or the Republic has otherwise taken actions that would have the same effect as a Government Guarantee. Procedures related to the Change of Support Offer will be set forth in the fiscal agency agreement and the global debt security.

We will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of debt securities pursuant to a Change of Support Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this covenant, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under this covenant by virtue of such compliance.

Events of Default

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, each of the following constitutes an event of default with respect to any series of debt securities:

1. Non-Payment: we do not pay principal or interest or premium or deposit any sinking fund payment on any debt securities of the series when due and such failure to pay continues for 30 days.

2. Breach of Other Obligations: we fail to observe or perform any of the covenants in the series of debt securities (other than non-payment) for 60 days after written notice of the default is delivered to us at the corporate trust office of the fiscal agent in New York City by holders representing at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of the series.

3. Cross Default and Cross Acceleration:

• we default on any External Indebtedness, and, as a result, becomes obligated to pay an amount equal to or greater than US$10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount prior to its due date; or

• we fail to pay when due, including any grace period, any of our External Indebtedness in aggregate principal amount equal to or greater than US$10,000,000 or we fail to pay when requested and required by the terms thereof any guarantee for External Indebtedness of another person equal to or greater than US$10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount.

4, Moratorium/Default:

• the Republic declares a general moratorium on the payment of its External Indebtedness, including obligations under guarantees;

• the Republic becomes liable to repay prior to maturity any amount of External Indebtedness, including obligations under guarantees, as a result of a default under such External Indebtedness or obligations; or

• the international monetary reserves of the Republic become subject to a security interest or segregation or other preferential arrangement for the benefit of any creditors.

5. Bankruptcy:

• we are declared bankrupt or insolvent by any court or administrative agency with jurisdiction over us;

• we pass a resolution to apply for bankruptcy or to request the appointment of a receiver or trustee or similar official in insolvency;

133

• a substantial part of our assets are liquidated; or

• we cease to conduct the banking business.

6. Cessation of Government Control or Failure of Support: the Republic ceases to (directly or indirectly) control us or fails to provide financial support for us as required under Article 44 of the KDB Act as of the issue date of the debt securities of such series, provided, however, that neither such event will constitute an event of default if, at such time, the debt securities of such series shall have the benefit of a Government Guarantee (as defined below).

7. IMF Membership/World Bank Membership: the Republic ceases to be a member of the IMF or the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank).

8. Breach of Change of Support Offer Obligation: we fail to make a Change of Support Offer in accordance with the procedure set forth under “Change of Support Offer” above following a Change of Support Triggering Event, or we fail to purchase the debt securities of such series tendered by holders in accordance with the procedure set forth under “Change of Support Offer” above, and such failure to make a Change of Support Offer or to purchase tendered debt securities continues for a period of 30 days.

For purposes of the foregoing, “External Indebtedness” means any obligation for the payment or repayment of money borrowed that is denominated in a currency other than the currency of the Republic.

As used in paragraph 6 above, “Government Guarantee” means a direct and irrevocable obligation by the Republic to guarantee or repay in full, or otherwise protect against any losses on any amount due under, or to purchase, the debt securities of such series, including principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of such series, provided that:

a) the Republic shall have expressly assumed the payment obligations in respect of the debt securities of such series under such Government Guarantee by way of agreement, deed, statute or any other instrument or law or regulation having a similar effect;

b) the Government Guarantee shall be subject to the obligation to make all payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of such series without withholding or deducting any present or future taxes imposed by the Republic or any of its political subdivisions; any obligation to pay additional amounts as described in “—Additional Amounts” above shall apply to the Government Guarantee and the Republic, as guarantor; and

c) we shall have obtained an opinion of independent legal advisers that the Government Guarantee is binding upon and enforceable against the Republic, and that the debt securities of such series shall remain our valid, binding and enforceable obligations.

We will notify holders of the debt securities of the occurrence of the cessation of government control or failure of support described under paragraph 6 above as soon as practicable thereafter setting out details of the event, cessation or failure described above and the establishment of the Government Guarantee, and shall make available for inspection by the holders copies of the documentation or statute, law or regulation, as the case may be, evidencing the Government Guarantee and the opinion described in paragraph (c) of the definition of “Government Guarantee” above, during normal business hours at the office of the fiscal agent.

As used in paragraph 6 above, “control” means the acquisition or control of a majority of our voting share capital or the right to appoint and/or remove all or the majority of the members of our board of directors or other governing body, whether obtained directly or indirectly, and whether obtained by ownership of share capital, the possession of voting rights, contract or otherwise.

If an event of default occurs, any holder may declare the principal amount of debt securities that it holds to be immediately due and payable by written notice to us and the fiscal agent.

134

You should note that:

• despite the procedure described above, no debt securities may be declared due and payable if we cure the applicable event of default before we receive the written notice from the debt security holder;

• we are not required to provide periodic evidence of the absence of defaults; and

• the fiscal agency agreement does not require us to notify holders of the debt securities of an event of default or grant any debt security holder a right to examine the security register.

Modifications and Amendments; Debt Securityholders’ Meetings

Each holder of a series of debt securities must consent to any amendment or modification of the terms of that series of debt securities or the fiscal agency agreement that would, among other things:

• change the stated maturity of the principal of the debt securities or any installment of interest;

• reduce the principal amount of such series of debt securities or the portion of the principal amount payable upon acceleration of such debt securities;

• change the debt security’s interest rate or premium payable;

• change the currency of payment of principal, interest or premium;

• amend either the procedures provided for a redemption event or the definition of a redemption event;

• shorten the period during which we are not allowed to redeem the debt securities or grant us a right to redeem the debt securities which we previously did not have; or

• reduce the percentage of the outstanding principal amount needed to modify or amend the fiscal agency agreement or the terms of such series of debt securities.

We may, with the exception of the above changes, with the consent of the holders of at least 66 ²/3 % in principal amount of the debt securities of a series that are outstanding, modify and amend other terms of that series of debt securities.

We may at any time call a meeting of the holders of a series of debt securities to seek the holders of the debt securities’ approval of the modification, or amendment, or obtain a waiver, of any provision of that series of debt securities. The meeting will be held at the time and place in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City as determined by the fiscal agent. The notice calling the meeting must be given at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the meeting.

While an event of default with respect to a series of debt securities is continuing, holders of at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount of that series of debt securities may compel the fiscal agent to call a meeting of all holders of debt securities of that series.

Holders of debt securities who hold, in the aggregate, a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the series that are outstanding at the time will constitute a quorum at a meeting. At the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for a lack of a quorum, the persons entitled to vote 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of the series that are outstanding at the time will constitute a quorum for taking any action set out in the original notice. To vote at a meeting, a person must either hold outstanding debt securities of the relevant series or be duly appointed as a proxy for a debt securityholder. The fiscal agent will make all rules governing the conduct of any meeting.

The fiscal agency agreement and a series of debt securities may be modified or amended, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities, to:

• add covenants made by us that benefit holders of the debt securities;

• surrender any right or power given to us;

135

• secure the debt securities;

• permit registered securities to be exchanged for bearer securities or relax or eliminate restrictions on the payment of principal, premium or interest on bearer securities to the extent permitted under United States Department of Treasury regulations, provided that holders of the debt securities do not suffer any adverse tax consequences as a result; and

• cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any defective provision in the fiscal agency agreement or the debt securities, without materially and adversely affecting the interests of the holders of the debt securities.

Fiscal Agent

The fiscal agency agreement governs the duties of each fiscal agent. We may maintain bank accounts and a banking relationship with each fiscal agent. The fiscal agent is our agent and does not act as a trustee for the holders of the debt securities.

Further Issues of Debt Securities

We may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities, create and issue additional debt securities with the same terms and conditions as any series of debt securities (or that are the same except for the amount of the first interest payment and for the interest paid on the series of debt securities prior to the issuance of the additional debt securities). We may consolidate such additional debt securities with the outstanding debt securities to form a single series.

We may offer additional debt securities with original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes as part of a further issue. Purchasers of debt securities after the date of any further issue will not be able to differentiate between debt securities sold as part of the further issue and previously issued debt securities of the same series. If we were to issue further debt securities with OID, purchasers of debt securities after such further issue may be required to accrue OID (or greater amounts of OID that they would otherwise have accrued) with respect to their debt securities. This may affect the price of outstanding debt securities following a further issue. Purchasers are advised to consult legal counsel with respect to the implications of any future decision by us to undertake a further issue of debt securities with OID.

Description of Warrants

The description below summarizes some of the provisions of warrants for the purchase of debt securities that we may issue from time to time and of the warrant agreement. Copies of the forms of warrants and the warrant agreement are or will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Since it is only a summary, the description may not contain all of the information that is important to you as a potential investor in the warrants.

The description of the warrants that will be contained in the prospectus supplement will supplement this description and, to the extent inconsistent with this description, replace it.

General Terms of the Warrants

Each series of warrants will be issued under a warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The prospectus supplement relating to the series of warrants will describe:

• the terms of the debt securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants, as described above under “—Description of Debt Securities—General Terms of the Debt Securities”;

• the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of one warrant and the exercise price;

• the procedures and conditions for the exercise of the warrants;

136

• the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and expires;

• whether and under what conditions the warrants may be terminated or canceled by us;

• whether and under what conditions the warrants and any debt securities issued with the warrants will be separately transferable;

• whether the warrants will be issued in bearer or registered form;

• whether the warrants will be exchangeable between registered and bearer form, and, if issued in registered form, where they may be transferred and registered; and

• other specific provisions.

Terms Applicable to Debt Securities and Warrants

Governing Law

The fiscal agency agreement, any warrant agreement and the debt securities and any warrants will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any principles of New York law requiring the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Nevertheless, all matters governing our authorization, execution and delivery of the debt securities and the fiscal agency agreement and any warrants and warrant agreement by us will be governed by the laws of the Republic.

Jurisdiction and Consent to Service

We are owned by a foreign sovereign government and all of our directors and executive officers and some of the experts named in this prospectus are residents of Korea. In addition, all or most of our assets and the assets of the people named in the preceding sentence are located outside of the United States. For that reason, you may have difficultly serving process on us or the individuals described above in the United States or enforcing in a U.S. court a U.S.-court judgment based on the U.S. federal securities laws. Our Korean counsel, Lee & Ko, has informed us that there would be certain conditions to be met under Korean law regarding the enforceability in Korea, either in original actions or in actions for the enforcement of U.S.-court judgments, of civil liabilities based on the U.S. federal securities laws.

We have appointed the General Manager of our New York Branch, Mr. In Joo Kim, and the Senior Deputy General Manager of our New York Branch, Mr. Joo Yung Sung, and each of their successors in the future, as our authorized agents to receive service of process in any suit which a holder of any series of debt securities or warrants may bring in any state or federal court in New York City and we have accepted the jurisdiction of those courts for those actions. Our New York Branch is located at 320 Park Avenue, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10022. These appointments are irrevocable as long as any amounts of principal, premium or interest remain payable by us to the Fiscal Agent under any series of debt securities or any warrants have not expired or otherwise terminated under their terms. If for any reason either of these two men ceases to act as our authorized agent or ceases to have an address in Manhattan, we shall appoint a replacement. The appointment of agents for receipt of service of process and the acceptance of jurisdiction of state or federal courts in New York City do not, however, apply to actions brought under the United States federal securities laws. We may also be sued in courts having jurisdiction over us located in the Republic.

We will irrevocably consent to any relief and process in connection with a suit against us in relation to the debt securities or warrants, including the enforcement or execution of any order or judgment of the court. To the extent permitted by law, we will waive irrevocably any immunity from jurisdiction to which we might otherwise be entitled in any suit based on any series of debt securities or warrants.

Foreign Exchange Controls

Before we may issue debt securities outside the Republic, the Minister of Strategy and Finance of Korea must receive a report with respect to the issuance by us of debt securities in accordance with the Foreign

137

Exchange Transaction Act and Regulation of Korea. After issuance of debt securities outside the Republic, we are required to notify the Minister of Strategy and Finance of such issuance. No further approval or authorization is required for us to pay principal of or interest on the debt securities.

Description of Guarantees to be Issued by Us

The description below summarizes some of the provisions of the guarantees that we may issue from time to time. Copies of the forms of guarantees are or will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Since it is only a summary, the description may not contain all of the information that is important to you as a potential beneficiary of a guarantee.

The description of a guarantee that will be contained in the prospectus supplement will supplement this description and, to the extent inconsistent with this description, replace it.

General Terms of the Guarantees

Each guarantee will be issued by us as guarantor. The prospectus supplement relating to a guarantee will specify:

• the relevant obligor and the obligations guaranteed under the guarantee;

• the nature and scope of the guarantee, including whether or not it is irrevocable and unconditional;

• the status of the guarantee in relation to our other obligations;

• the governing law of the guarantee; and

• other relevant provisions of the guarantee.

Description of Guarantees to be issued by The Republic of Korea

In response to the adverse conditions in global financial markets since September 2008, the Government announced in October 2008 that it would guarantee foreign currency-denominated debt (but excluding foreign currency deposits and subordinated debt) of 18 Korean banks and their overseas branches owed to non-residents (including branches of foreign banks located in the Republic and as defined in Article 3 of the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act of Korea) issued or incurred between October 20, 2008 and June 30, 2009 (subsequently extended to December 31, 2009), up to an aggregate amount of US$100 billion (or its equivalent in other currencies), for a period of three years from the date such debt was issued or incurred. The National Assembly approved this government guarantee program (the “Government Guarantee Program”) on October 30, 2008 and the Minister of Strategy and Finance published the Guarantee Rules, which set forth details of the Government Guarantee Program, including the form of guarantee and the form of demand, on October 31, 2008. We filed a copy of these documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in December 2008. The Government Guarantee Program was terminated on December 31, 2009 and no longer applies to Korean banks including us.

The description below summarizes some of the provisions of the guarantees that the Republic may issue from time to time to guarantee our debt securities. Since it is only a summary, the description may not contain all of the information that is important to you as a potential beneficiary of a guarantee.

The prospectus supplement relating to a guarantee to be issued by the Republic will specify other specific provisions. The description of a guarantee to be issued by the Republic that will be contained in the prospectus supplement will supplement this description and, to the extent inconsistent with this description, replace it.

138

General Terms of the Guarantees

Each guarantee will be issued by the Republic as guarantor. The prospectus supplement relating to a guarantee will specify:

• the relevant obligor and the obligations guaranteed under the guarantee;

• the nature and scope of the guarantee, including whether or not it is irrevocable and unconditional;

• the status of the guarantee in relation to the Republic’s other obligations;

• the governing law of the guarantee; and

• other relevant provisions of the guarantee.

139

LIMITATIONS ON ISSUANCE OF BEARER DEBT SECURITIES AND BEARER WARRANTS

Bearer securities will not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States or its possessions or to a United States person; except in certain circumstances permitted by United States tax regulations. Bearer securities will initially be represented by temporary global securities, without interest coupons, deposited with a common depositary in London for Euroclear and Clearstream for credit to designated accounts. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement:

• each temporary global security will be exchangeable for definitive bearer securities on or after the date that is 40 days after issuance only upon receipt of certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of the temporary global security as provided for in United States tax regulations, provided that no bearer security will be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States in connection with the exchange; and

• any interest payable on any portion of a temporary global security with respect to any interest payment date occurring prior to the issuance of definitive bearer securities will be paid only upon receipt of certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of the temporary global security as provided for in United States tax regulations.

Bearer securities, other than temporary global debt securities, and any related coupons will bear the following legend: “Any United States person who holds this obligation will be subject to limitations under the United States federal income tax laws, including the limitations provided in Section 165(j) and 1287(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.” The sections referred to in the legend provide that, with certain exceptions, a United States person who holds a bearer security or coupon will not be allowed to deduct any loss realized on the disposition of the bearer security, and any gain, which might otherwise be characterized as capital gain, recognized on the disposition will be treated as ordinary income.

For purposes of this section, “United States person” means:

• a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or

• an estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

For purposes of this section, “United States” means the United States of America, including each state and the District of Columbia, its territories, possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction.

140

TAXATION

The following discussion summarizes certain Korean and U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you if you invest in debt securities. This summary is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of this Prospectus. These laws, regulations, rulings and/or decisions may change; any such change could apply retroactively and could affect the continued validity of this summary.

This summary does not describe all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to you or your situation, particularly if you are subject to special tax rules. You should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of holding the debt securities, including the relevance to your particular situation of the considerations discussed below, as well as of state, local or other tax laws.

Korean Taxation

The following summary of Korean tax consideration applies to you so long as you are not:

• a citizen of Korea;

• a resident of Korea;

• a corporation organized under Korean law;

• a corporation of which the place of management is located in Korea; or

• maintaining a permanent establishment or a fixed base in Korea for business, trade or otherwise.

Tax on Interest Payments

Under current Korean tax laws, when we make payments of interest to you on the debt securities, no amount will be withheld from such payments for, or on account of, taxes of any kind imposed, levied, withheld or assessed by Korea or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

Tax on Capital Gains

You will not be subject to any Korean income or withholding taxes in connection with the sale, exchange or other disposition of the debt securities, as long as such debt securities are denominated in a currency other than Won, provided that the disposition does not involve a transfer of such debt securities within Korea and the disposition does not involve a transfer of such debt securities by a resident of Korea or a Korean corporation (or the Korean permanent establishment of a non-resident or a non-Korean corporation). If you sell or otherwise dispose of such debt securities within Korea, any gain realized on the transaction will be taxable at ordinary Korean withholding tax rates (the lesser of 22.0% of net gain or 11% of gross sale proceeds with respect to transactions), unless an exemption is available under an applicable income tax treaty. For example, if you are a resident of the United States for the purposes of the income tax treaty currently in force between Korea and the United States, you are generally entitled to an exemption from Korean taxation in respect of any gain realized on a disposition of the debt securities, regardless of whether the disposition is to a Korean resident. For more information regarding tax treaties, please refer to the heading “Tax Treaties” below.

Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax

If you die while you are the holder of the debt security, the subsequent transfer of the debt security by way of succession will be subject to Korean inheritance tax. Similarly, if you transfer the debt security as a gift, the donee will be subject to Korean gift tax and you may be required to pay the gift tax if the donee fails to do so or the donee is a non-resident.

141

Stamp Duty

You will not be subject to any Korean transfer tax, stamp duty, registration duty or similar documentary tax in respect of or in connection with a transfer of any debt securities or in connection with the exercise of exchange rights or conversion rights that may be acquired with the debt securities.

Guarantees

Although there are no Korean tax laws, regulations or rulings specific to the payment under the guarantee herein, we believe any payments of interest on and principal amount of the debt securities (or the issued price if the debt securities were originally issued at a discount) by the Republic under the Republic’s guarantee on the debt securities denominated in a foreign currency and issued by us or any payments of interest on and principal amount of the debt securities (or the issued price if the debt securities were originally issued at a discount) by us under our guarantee on the debt securities denominated in a foreign currency and issued by a third-party Korean issuer are not subject to withholding tax. Further details of the tax consequences of the holders of our debt securities guaranteed by the Republic or third-party debt securities guaranteed by us may be provided in the relevant prospectus supplement.

Tax Treaties

At the date of this prospectus, Korea has tax treaties with, among others, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Republic of Fiji, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Vietnam under which the rate of withholding tax on interest and dividends is reduced, generally to between 5% and 15%, and the tax on capital gains is often eliminated.

With respect to any gains subject to Korean withholding tax, as described under “—Tax on Capital Gains” above, you should inquire for yourself whether you are entitled to the benefit of a tax treaty with Korea. It will be your responsibility to claim the benefits of any tax treaty that may exist between your country and Korea in respect of capital gains, and to provide to the purchaser of the debt securities, or the relevant securities company handling the debt securities, as applicable, a certificate as to your country of residence. In the absence of sufficient proof, the purchaser, or the relevant securities company, as the case may be, must withhold tax at the normal rates.

At present, Korea has not entered into tax treaties regarding inheritance or gift tax.

Warrants

A description of the tax consequences of an investment in warrants will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

United States Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you if you invest in debt securities and are a U.S. holder. You will be a U.S. holder if you are an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a U.S. domestic corporation, or any other person that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of its investment in a debt security. This summary deals only with U.S. holders that hold debt securities as capital assets for tax purposes. This summary does not apply to you if you are an investor that is subject to special tax rules, such as:

• a bank or thrift;

• a real estate investment trust;

142

• a regulated investment company;

• an insurance company;

• a dealer in securities or currencies;

• a trader in securities or commodities that elects mark-to-market treatment;

• a person that will hold debt securities as a hedge against currency risk or as a position in a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes;

• a tax exempt organization; or

• a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), 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.

Any special U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to a particular issuance of debt securities will be discussed in the applicable prospectus supplement. You should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of holding debt securities, including the relevance to your particular situation of the considerations discussed below, as well as of state, local or other tax laws.

Payments or Accruals of Interest

Payments or accruals of “qualified stated interest” (as defined below) on a debt security will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time that you receive or accrue such amounts, in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. If you use the cash method of tax accounting and you receive payments of interest pursuant to the terms of a debt security in a currency other than U.S. dollars, a “foreign currency”, the amount of interest income you will realize will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency payment based on the exchange rate in effect on the date you receive the payment regardless of whether you convert the payment into U.S. dollars. If you are an accrual-basis U.S. holder, the amount of interest income you will realize will be based on the average exchange rate in effect during the interest accrual period or, with respect to an interest accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average exchange rate for the partial period within the taxable year. Alternatively, as an accrual-basis U.S. holder you may elect to translate all interest income on foreign currency-denominated debt securities at the spot rate on the last day of the accrual period (or the last day of the taxable year, in the case of an accrual period that spans more than one taxable year), or on the date that you receive the interest payment if that date is within five business days of the end of the accrual period. If you make this election you must apply it consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and you cannot change the election without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service. If you use the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes you will recognize foreign currency gain or loss on the receipt of a foreign currency interest payment if the exchange rate in effect on the date the payment is received differs from the rate applicable to a previous accrual of that interest income. This foreign currency gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss, but generally will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income received on the debt security.

Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Notes

Initially, your tax basis in a debt security generally will equal the cost of the debt security to you. Your basis will increase by any amounts that you are required to include in income under the rules governing original issue discount and market discount, and will decrease by the amount of any amortized premium and any payments other than qualified stated interest made on the debt security. The rules for determining these amounts are discussed below. If you purchase a debt security that is denominated in a foreign currency, the cost to you, and therefore generally your initial tax basis, will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency purchase price on the date of purchase calculated at the exchange rate in effect on that date. If the foreign currency-denominated debt security is traded on an established securities market and you are a cash-basis taxpayer, or if you are an

143

accrual-basis taxpayer that makes a special election, then you will determine the U.S. dollar value of the cost of the debt security by translating the amount of the foreign currency that you paid for the debt security at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of your purchase. The amount of any subsequent adjustments to your tax basis in a foreign currency-denominated debt security in respect of original issue discount, market discount and premium will be determined in the manner described below. If you convert U.S. dollars into a foreign currency and then immediately use that foreign currency to purchase a debt security, you generally will not have any taxable gain or loss as a result of the purchase.

When you sell or exchange a debt security, or if a debt security is retired, you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount you realize on the transaction, less any accrued qualified stated interest, which will be subject to tax in the manner described above, and your tax basis in the debt security. If you sell or exchange a debt security for a foreign currency, or receive foreign currency on the retirement of a debt security, the amount you will realize for U.S. tax purposes generally will be the dollar value of the foreign currency that you receive calculated at the exchange rate in effect on the date the foreign currency debt security is disposed of or retired. If you dispose of a foreign currency debt security that is traded on an established securities market and you are a cash-basis U.S. holder, or if you are an accrual-basis holder that makes a special election, then you will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale, exchange or retirement.

The special election available to you if you are an accrual-basis taxpayer in respect of the purchase and sale of foreign currency debt securities traded on an established securities market, which is discussed in the two preceding paragraphs, must be applied consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service.

Except as discussed below with respect to market discount, short-term debt securities and foreign currency gain or loss, the gain or loss that you recognize on the sale, exchange or retirement of a debt security generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the debt security for more than one year. Under present law, the Code provides preferential treatment under certain circumstances for net long-term capital gains recognized by individual investors. The ability of U.S. holders to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited.

The gain or loss that you recognize on the sale, exchange or retirement of a foreign currency debt security generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to the extent that the gain or loss is attributable to changes in exchange rates during the period in which you held the debt security. This foreign currency gain or loss will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income that you receive on the debt security.

Original Issue Discount

If we issue debt securities at a discount from their stated redemption price at maturity, and the discount is equal to or more than the product of one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) of the stated redemption price at maturity of the debt securities multiplied by the number of whole years to their maturity, the debt securities will be “Original Issue Discount Debt Securities.” The difference between the issue price and their stated redemption price at maturity will be the “original issue discount.” The “issue price” of the debt securities will be the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities are sold to the public (i.e., excluding sales of debt securities to underwriters, placement agents, wholesalers, or similar persons). The “stated redemption price at maturity” will include all payments under the debt securities other than payments of qualified stated interest. The term “qualified stated interest” generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property, other than debt instruments issued by the Company, at least annually during the entire term of a debt security at a single fixed interest rate or, subject to certain conditions, based on one or more interest indices.

If you invest in Original Issue Discount Debt Securities you generally will be subject to the special tax accounting rules for original issue discount obligations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and certain Treasury regulations (the “OID regulations”). You should be aware that, as described in greater detail below, if

144

you invest in an Original Issue Discount Debt Security you generally will be required to include original issue discount in ordinary gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, before you receive the cash attributable to that income.

In general, and regardless of whether you use the cash or the accrual method of tax accounting, if you are the holder of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security with a maturity greater than one year, you will be required to include in ordinary gross income the sum of the “daily portions” of original issue discount on that debt security for all days during the taxable year that you own the debt security. The daily portions of original issue discount on an Original Issue Discount Debt Security are determined by allocating to each day in any accrual period a ratable portion of the original issue discount allocable to that period. Accrual periods may be any length and may vary in length over the term of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, so long as no accrual period is longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on the first or last day of an accrual period. If you are the initial holder of the debt security, the amount of original issue discount on an Original Issue Discount Debt Security allocable to each accrual period is determined by:

(i) multiplying the “adjusted issue price” (as defined below) of the debt security at the beginning of the accrual period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the annual yield to maturity of the debt security and the denominator of which is the number of accrual periods in a year; and

(ii) subtracting from that product the amount, if any, payable as qualified stated interest allocable to that accrual period.

In the case of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that is a floating rate debt security, both the “annual yield to maturity” and the qualified stated interest will be determined for these purposes as though the debt security had borne interest in all periods at a fixed rate generally equal to the rate that would be applicable to interest payments on the debt security on its date of issue or, in the case of some floating rate debt securities, the rate that reflects the yield that is reasonably expected for the debt security. Additional rules may apply if interest on a floating rate debt security is based on more than one interest index. The “adjusted issue price” of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security at the beginning of any accrual period will generally be the sum of its issue price, including any accrued interest, and the amount of original issue discount allocable to all prior accrual periods, reduced by the amount of all payments other than any qualified stated interest payments on the debt security in all prior accrual periods. All payments on an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, other than qualified stated interest, will generally be viewed first as payments of previously accrued original issue discount, to the extent of the previously accrued discount, with payments considered made from the earliest accrual periods first, and then as a payment of principal. The “annual yield to maturity” of a debt security is the discount rate, appropriately adjusted to reflect the length of accrual periods, that causes the present value on the issue date of all payments on the debt security to equal the issue price. As a result of this “constant yield” method of including original issue discount income, the amounts you will be required to include in your gross income if you invest in an Original Issue Discount Debt Security denominated in U.S. dollars will generally be less in the early years and greater in the later years than amounts that would be includible on a straight-line basis.

You generally may make an irrevocable election to include in income your entire return on a debt security (i.e., the excess of all remaining payments to be received on the debt security, including payments of qualified stated interest, over the amount you paid for the debt security) under the constant yield method described above. For debt securities purchased at a premium or bearing market discount in your hands, if you make this election you will also be deemed to have made the election (discussed below under “Premium and Market Discount”) to amortize premium or to accrue market discount in income currently on a constant yield basis.

In the case of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that is also a foreign currency-denominated debt security, you should determine the U.S. dollar amount includible as original issue discount for each accrual period by (i) calculating the amount of original issue discount allocable to each accrual period in the foreign currency using the constant yield method, and (ii) translating the foreign currency amount so determined at the average exchange rate in effect during that accrual period (or, with respect to an interest accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average exchange rate for each partial period). Alternatively, you may translate the

145

foreign currency amount so determined at the spot rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period (or the last day of the taxable year, for an accrual period that spans two taxable years), or at the spot rate of exchange on the date of receipt, if that date is within five business days of the last day of the accrual period, provided that you have made the election described under “—Payments or Accruals of Interest” above. Because exchange rates may fluctuate, if you are the holder of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security that is also a foreign currency debt security you may recognize a different amount of original issue discount income in each accrual period than would be the case if you were the holder of an otherwise similar Original Issue Discount Debt Security denominated in U.S. dollars. Upon the receipt of an amount attributable to original issue discount, whether in connection with a payment of an amount that is not qualified stated interest or the sale or retirement of the Original Issue Discount Debt Security, you will recognize ordinary income or loss measured by the difference between the amount received, translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt or on the date of disposition of the Original Issue Discount Debt Security, as the case may be, and the amount accrued, using the exchange rate applicable to such previous accrual.

If you purchase an Original Issue Discount Debt Security outside of the initial offering at a cost less than its “remaining redemption amount”, or if you purchase an Original Issue Discount Debt Security in the initial offering at a price other than the debt security’s issue price, you will also generally be required to include in gross income the daily portions of original issue discount, calculated as described above. However, if you acquire an Original Issue Discount Debt Security at a price greater than its adjusted issue price, you will be entitled to reduce your periodic inclusions of original issue discount to reflect the premium paid over the adjusted issue price. The remaining redemption amount for an Original Issue Discount Debt Security is the total of all future payments to be made on the debt security other than qualified stated interest.

Floating rate debt securities generally will be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” under the OID regulations. Accordingly, the stated interest on a floating rate debt security generally will be treated as qualified stated interest, and such a debt security will not have original issue discount solely as a result of the fact that it provides for interest at a variable rate. A floating rate debt security that does not qualify as a variable rate debt instrument will be subject to special rules (the “contingent payment regulations”) that govern the tax treatment of debt obligations that provide for contingent payments (“contingent debt obligations”). A detailed description of the tax considerations relevant to U.S. holders of any such debt securities will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Certain debt securities may be redeemed prior to maturity, either at our option or at the option of the holder, or may have special repayment or interest rate reset features as indicated in the prospectus supplement. Original Issue Discount Debt Securities containing these features may be subject to rules that differ from the general rules discussed above. If you purchase Original Issue Discount Debt Securities with these features, you should carefully examine the prospectus supplement and consult your tax adviser about their treatment since the tax consequences with respect to original issue discount will depend, in part, on the particular terms and features of the debt securities.

Short-Term Debt Securities

The rules described above will also generally apply to Original Issue Discount Debt Securities with maturities of one year or less (“short-term debt securities”), but with some modifications.

First, the original issue discount rules treat none of the interest on a short-term debt security as qualified stated interest, but treat a short-term debt security as having original issue discount. Thus, all short-term debt securities will be Original Issue Discount Debt Securities. Except as noted below, if you are a cash-basis holder of a short-term debt security and you do not identify the short-term debt security as part of a hedging transaction you will generally not be required to accrue original issue discount currently, but you will be required to treat any gain realized on a sale, exchange or retirement of the debt security as ordinary income to the extent such gain does not exceed the original issue discount accrued with respect to the debt security during the period you held the debt security. You may not be allowed to deduct all of the interest paid or accrued on any indebtedness

146

incurred or maintained to purchase or carry a short-term debt security until the maturity of the debt security or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a cash-basis U.S. holder of a short-term debt security you may elect to accrue original issue discount on a current basis, in which case the limitation on the deductibility of interest described above will not apply. A U.S. holder using the accrual method of tax accounting and some cash method holders, including banks, securities dealers, regulated investment companies and certain trust funds, generally will be required to include original issue discount on a short-term debt security in gross income on a current basis. Original issue discount will be treated as accruing for these purposes on a ratable basis or, at the election of the holder, on a constant yield basis based on daily compounding.

Second, regardless of whether you are a cash- or accrual-basis holder, if you are the holder of a short-term debt security you can elect to accrue any “acquisition discount” with respect to the debt security on a current basis. Acquisition discount is the excess of the remaining redemption amount of the debt security at the time of acquisition over the purchase price. Acquisition discount will be treated as accruing ratably or, at the election of the holder, under a constant yield method based on daily compounding. If you elect to accrue acquisition discount, the original issue discount rules will not apply.

Finally, the market discount rules described below will not apply to short-term debt securities.

As described above, certain of the debt securities may be subject to special redemption features. These features may affect the determination of whether a debt security has a maturity of one year or less and thus is a short-term debt security. If you purchase debt securities with these features, you should carefully examine the prospectus supplement and consult your tax adviser about these features.

Premium and Market Discount

If you purchase a debt security at a cost greater than the debt security’s remaining redemption amount, you will be considered to have purchased the debt security at a premium, and you may elect to amortize the premium as an offset to interest income, using a constant yield method, over the remaining term of the debt security. If you make this election, it generally will apply to all debt instruments that you hold at the time of the election, as well as any debt instruments that you subsequently acquire. In addition, you may not revoke the election without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service. If you elect to amortize the premium you will be required to reduce your tax basis in the debt security by the amount of the premium amortized during your holding period. Original Issue Discount Debt Securities purchased at a premium will not be subject to the original issue discount rules described above. In the case of premium on a foreign currency debt security, you should calculate the amortization of the premium in the foreign currency. Amortization deductions attributable to a period reduce interest payments in respect of that period, and therefore are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate that you use for those interest payments. Exchange gain or loss will be realized with respect to amortized premium on a foreign currency debt security based on the difference between the exchange rate computed on the date or dates the premium is amortized against interest payments on the debt security and the exchange rate on the date when the holder acquired the debt security. For a U.S. holder that does not elect to amortize premium, the amount of premium will be included in your tax basis when the debt security matures or is disposed of. Therefore, if you do not elect to amortize premium and you hold the debt security to maturity, you generally will be required to treat the premium as capital loss when the debt security matures.

If you purchase a debt security at a price that is lower than the debt security’s remaining redemption amount, or in the case of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security, the debt security’s adjusted issue price, by 0.25% or more of the remaining redemption amount, or adjusted issue price, multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity, the debt security will be considered to bear “market discount” in your hands. In this case, any gain that you realize on the disposition of the debt security generally will be treated as ordinary interest income to the extent of the market discount that accrued on the debt security during your holding period. In addition, you could be required to defer the deduction of a portion of the interest paid on any indebtedness that you incurred or continued to purchase or carry the debt security. In general, market discount will be treated as

147

accruing ratably over the term of the debt security, or, at your election, under a constant yield method. You must accrue market discount on a foreign currency debt security in the specified currency. The amount that you will be required to include in income in respect of accrued market discount will be the U.S. dollar value of the accrued amount, generally calculated at the exchange rate in effect on the date that you dispose of the debt security.

You may elect to include market discount in gross income currently as it accrues (on either a ratable or constant yield basis), in lieu of treating a portion of any gain realized on a sale of the debt security as ordinary income. If you elect to include market discount on a current basis, the interest deduction deferral rule described above will not apply. If you do make such an election, it will apply to all market discount debt instruments that you acquire on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies. The election may not be revoked without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service. Any accrued market discount on a foreign currency debt security that is currently includible in income will be translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the accrual period (or portion thereof within the holder’s taxable year).

Indexed Notes and Other Notes Providing for Contingent Payments

The contingent payment regulations generally require accrual of interest income on a constant yield basis in respect of contingent debt obligations at a yield determined at the time of issuance of the obligation, and may require adjustments to these accruals when any contingent payments are made. In addition, special rules may apply to floating rate debt securities if the interest payable on the debt securities is based on more than one interest index. We will provide a detailed description of the tax considerations relevant to U.S. holders of any debt securities that are subject to the special rules discussed in this paragraph in the relevant prospectus supplement.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

The paying agent must file information returns with the United States Internal Revenue Service in connection with debt security payments made to certain United States persons. If you are a United States person, you generally will not be subject to United States backup withholding tax on such payments if you provide your taxpayer identification number to the paying agent. You may also be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax requirements with respect to the proceeds from a sale of the debt securities. If you are not a United States person, in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding tax requirements you may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that you are not a United States person.

In addition, a U.S. holder should be aware that recently enacted legislation imposes new reporting requirements with respect to the holding of certain foreign financial assets, including debt of foreign issuers, if the aggregate value of all of such assets exceeds US$50,000. A U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of the information reporting rules to our debt securities and the application of the recently enacted legislation to its particular situation.

Warrants

A description of the tax consequences of an investment in warrants will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

A description of the tax consequences of an investment in guarantees will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

148

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We and the Republic, if a guarantee by the Republic is furnished, may sell or issue the debt securities, warrants or guarantees in any of three ways:

• through underwriters or dealers;

• directly to one or more purchasers; or

• through agents.

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities, warrants or guarantees will state:

• the names of any underwriters;

• the purchase price of the securities;

• the proceeds to us from the sale;

• any underwriting discounts and other compensation;

• the initial public offering price;

• any discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers; and

• any securities exchanges on which the securities will be listed.

Any underwriter involved in the sale of securities will acquire the securities for its own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale. The securities may be offered to the public either by underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, certain conditions must be satisfied before the underwriters become obligated to purchase securities from us and the Republic, if applicable, and they will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if any are purchased. The underwriters may change any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

If we and the Republic, if a guarantee by the Republic is furnished, sell any securities through agents, the prospectus supplement will identify the agent and indicate any commissions payable by us and the Republic, if applicable. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, all agents will act on a best efforts basis and will not acquire the securities for their own account.

We and the Republic, if a guarantee by the Republic is furnished, may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain specified entities to purchase the securities from us and the Republic, if applicable, at the public offering price set forth in a prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts. The prospectus supplement will set out the conditions of the delayed delivery contracts and the commission receivable by the agents, underwriters or dealers for soliciting the contracts.

We and the Republic, if a guarantee by the Republic is furnished, may offer debt securities as consideration for the purchase of other of our debt securities, either in connection with a publicly announced tender offer or in privately negotiated transactions. The offer may be in addition to or in lieu of sales of debt securities directly or through underwriters or agents. We may offer guarantees as consideration for transactions involving securities of other issuers.

Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribution from us with respect to certain payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make. Agents and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services (including commercial and investment banking services) for us and the Republic in the ordinary course of business.
