Floating Rate Notes

The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest for each Interest Period (as defined herein) at a rate equal to Three-Month USD LIBOR plus     % per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January     , April     , July     and October     of each year, beginning on April     , 2014. The first interest payment on the Floating Rate Notes will be made on April     , 2014 in respect of the period from (and including) January     , 2014 to (but excluding) April      , 2014. Interest on the Notes will accrue from January    , 2014, and will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Period divided by 360.

Fixed Rate Notes

The Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate of         % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January              and July             , beginning on July             , 2014. Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes will accrue from January             , 2014 and will be computed based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. See “Description of the Notes—Payment of Principal and Interest.”

The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of US$200,000 principal amount and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as depositary.

The payment of interest and the repayment of principal on the Notes will not be guaranteed by the Government. However, under the KDB Act, the Government is obligated to guarantee the payment of the principal of and interest on our foreign currency debt with an original maturity of one year or more at the time of issuance (including the Notes offered hereby) outstanding as of the date of the initial sale of the Government’s equity interest in KDBFG, subject to the authorization of the Government guarantee amount by the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. See “The Korea Development Bank—Overview” and “—Business—Government Support and Supervision” in the accompanying prospectus.

We do not have any right to redeem the Notes prior to maturity.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

This section provides information that supplements the information about our bank and the Republic included under the headings corresponding to the headings below in the accompanying prospectus dated June 24, 2013. Defined terms used in this section have the meanings given to them in the accompanying prospectus. If the information in this section differs from the information in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this section.

THE KOREA DEVELOPMENT BANK

Unless specified otherwise, the information provided below is stated on a separate basis in accordance with Korean IFRS.

Overview

As of June 30, 2013, we had ₩95,868.9 billion of loans outstanding (including loans for facility development, loans for working capital, inter-bank loans, private loans, off-shore loan receivables, loans borrowed from overseas financial institutions, bills bought in foreign currencies, advance payments on acceptances and guarantees and other loans without adjusting for allowance for possible loan losses, present value discounts and deferred loan fees), total assets of ₩146,469.6 billion and total equity of ₩17,690.2 billion, as compared to ₩91,875.2 billion of loans outstanding, ₩142,997.3 billion of total assets and ₩18,218.4 billion of total equity as of December 31, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded interest income of ₩2,389.1 billion, interest expense of ₩1,523.4 billion and net loss of ₩266.5 billion, as compared to ₩2,549.7 billion of interest income, ₩1,641.1 billion of interest expense and ₩619.4 billion of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

In April 2013, the Government launched a task force for considering and planning the reorganization of policy roles for Government-owned banks and financial corporations, including us, KDB Financial Group (“KDBFG”) and Korea Finance Corporation (“KoFC”). The task force, composed of representatives from various government branches responsible for overseeing such Government-owned entities as well as members of the academia, collected views and considered various reorganization options with respect to policy financing functions.

In August 2013, pursuant to the findings of the task force, the Financial Services Commission announced the Government’s plan to reorganize Government-owned policy banks and financial corporations in order to streamline their overlapping functions and reinforce their policy financing roles for start-ups and small- and medium-sized enterprises, new growth industries and overseas projects. The plan calls for, among other things, (i) the merger of KoFC and KDBFG into us and the transfer of KoFC’s overseas assets of approximately ₩2 trillion to The Export-Import Bank of Korea by July 2014, (ii) the sale of KDB Capital Corp., KDB Asset Management Co., Ltd. and KDB Life, our subsidiaries that do not have policy financing roles and (iii) the gradual reduction of our retail banking services. Furthermore, the Government announced that it will maintain its controlling stake of at least 50% plus one share in us.

The plan announced by the Government is subject to the legislative approval of the National Assembly and will require an amendment of the KDB Act. In December 2013, a bill was introduced in the National Assembly to amend the KDB Act and enact the Government’s merger plan. As the bill is still in the early stages of the legislative approval process, we cannot predict whether the final form of the bill will mirror the merger plan announced by the Government or be passed at all.

an increase in net loss on foreign currency transactions to ₩212.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from ₩112.6 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates;

 

   

a decrease in net fees and commission income to ₩311.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from ₩395.7 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to a decrease in fees from financial advisory, syndication and underwriting;

Table of Contents
   

a decrease in dividend income to ₩106.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from ₩185.8 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to a decrease in dividend income from our subsidiaries;

 

   

net loss on available-for-sale financial assets of ₩113.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net gain of ₩58.1 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to impairment losses on the stock of companies under restructuring procedures (including STX Pan Ocean Co., Ltd.) in the nine months ended September 30, 2013; and

 

   

a decrease in net gain on derivatives to ₩192.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from ₩253.3 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to a decrease in valuation gain on derivative financial instruments.

The above factors were partially offset by net gain on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss of ₩30.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net loss of ₩78.8 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to an increase in valuation gains from financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss.

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., Daehan Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., Shina SB Yard Co., STX Pan Ocean and Tong Yang Cement Corporation. As of September 30, 2013, our credit extended to these companies totaled ₩2,122.6 billion, accounting for 1.4% of our total assets as of such date.

As of September 30, 2013, our exposure (including loans classified as substandard or below and equity investments classified as estimated loss or below) to Kumho Tires increased to ₩1,204.7 billion from ₩1,174.5 billion as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to extension of additional loans. As of September 30, 2013, our exposure to Daehan Shipbuilding was ₩213.4 billion, an increase from ₩195.7 billion as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to extension of additional loans. As of September 30, 2013, our exposure to Shina SB Yard increased to ₩258.6 billion from ₩228.2 billion as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to extension of additional loans. As of September 30, 2013, our exposure to STX Pan Ocean decreased to ₩224.9 billion from ₩358.8 billion as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in valuation of shares of common stock of STX Pan Ocean. We downgraded the classification of our exposure to Tong Yang Cement from normal to estimated loss in September 2013. As of September 30, 2013, our exposure to Tong Yang Cement was ₩221.0 billion.

As of September 30, 2013, we established provisions of ₩40.5 billion for our exposure to Kumho Tires, ₩12.6 billion for Daehan Shipbuilding, ₩52.7 billion for Shina SB Yard, ₩152.0 billion for STX Pan Ocean and ₩3 billion for Tong Yang Cement.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold 90,749 shares of common stock in Kumho Industrial, and as a result, our equity interest in Kumho Industrial decreased from 5.44% to 4.74%.

Based on our unaudited internal management accounts, as of September 30, 2013, our exposure to Kumho Tires, Kumho Industrial, Kumho Petrochemical and Asiana Airlines was ₩1,204.7 billion, ₩167.5 billion, ₩1,414.8 billion and ₩871.6 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, we established provisions of ₩40.5 billion, ₩4.2 billion, ₩0.4 billion and ₩0.9 billion for our exposure to Kumho Tires, Kumho Industrial, Kumho Petrochemical and Asiana Airlines, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not sell any non-performing loans to the Korea Asset Management Corporation, or KAMCO.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had net loss of ₩266.5 billion compared to net income of ₩619.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, on a separate basis.

Principal factors for the net loss of ₩266.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the net income of ₩619.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included:

 

   

an increase in provision for loan losses to ₩660.7 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 from ₩210.9 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to an increase in non-performing loans;

 

   

net loss on derivatives of ₩137.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net gain of ₩152.6 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to valuation losses on derivative financial instruments in the six months ended June 30, 2013;

net loss on available-for-sale financial assets of ₩184.9 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net gain of ₩34.9 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to impairment losses on the stock of companies under restructuring procedures during the first half of 2013; and

 

   

a decrease in dividend income to ₩74.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 from ₩157.4 billion in the corresponding period of 2012, primarily due to a decrease in dividend income from our subsidiaries.

The above factors were partially offset by net gain on foreign currency transactions of ₩58.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net loss of ₩37.7 billion in the corresponding period of 2012.

Provisions for Possible Loan Losses and Loans in Arrears

As of June 30, 2013, we established provisions of ₩1,291.9 billion for possible loan losses under Korean IFRS. The provisions for possible loan losses under Korean IFRS are recorded for those loans for which objective evidence of impairment exists as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition and, if our provision for possible loan losses is deemed insufficient for regulatory purposes, we compensate for the difference by recording a regulatory reserve for possible loan losses, which will be deducted from retained earnings. See Note 22 of the notes to our separate financial statements included in this prospectus supplement.

Certain of our customers have restructured loans with their creditor banks. As of June 30, 2013, we have provided loans of ₩3,298.0 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 amount of ₩1,448.7 billion following debt-equity swaps. As of June 30, 2013, we had established provisions of ₩658.3 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.

2. Basis of Preparation

(1) Statement of compliance

These separate interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as part of the period covered by Bank’s K-IFRS annual separate financial statements.

(2) Basis of measurement

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

 

   

Derivative financial instruments measured at fair value

 

   

Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss

 

   

Available-for-sale financial instruments measured at fair value

 

   

Fair value hedged financial instruments with changes in fair value, due to hedged risks, recognized in profit or loss

 

   

Liabilities for defined benefit plans, which are recognized as net of the total present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets and unrecognized past service costs

(4) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant judgments made by management in applying the Bank’s accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the separate interim financial statements is included in the following notes:

 

   

Note 3.(6)—Impairment of financial assets

 

   

Note 3.(15)—Employee benefits

Information on key sources of uncertainties in estimations and assumptions that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is included in the following notes:

 

   

Note 8—Loans and allowance for possible loan loss

 

   

Note 19—Defined benefit liabilities

 

   

Note 20—Provisions

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied by the Bank in these separate interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Bank in its separate interim financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(1) Investments in subsidiaries and associates

The accompanying financial statements are separate interim financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS No.1027Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements,’ and account the investment of stocks in subsidiaries and associates on a cost basis, not by performance and net asset reported by the investee. On the other hand, dividends received from subsidiaries and associates are recognized as income as of the time the right to receive the dividends is established.

(2) Operating segments

The Bank makes decisions regarding allocation of resources to segments and categorizes segments, based on internal reports reviewed periodically by the chief operating decision maker, to assess performance. Information on segments reported to the chief operating decision maker includes items directly attributable to segments as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise corporate assets (such as the Bank Headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. The Bank recognizes the CEO as the chief operating decision maker.

(3) Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions made in currencies, apart from the functional currency of the Bank, are translated to the respective functional currency at the exchange rate of the date of transaction. Monetary items denominated in

 

S-27


Table of Contents

Korea Development Bank

Notes to the Separate Interim Financial Statements—(Continued)

June 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

 

foreign currencies are translated according to the closing exchange rates at the end of the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rates at the date the fair value was determined. Moreover, non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate of the date of transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising from translation of monetary items, except differences that arise at the settlement time of monetary items, and exchange differences of foreign operating net investment and financial liabilities in a qualifying cash flow hedge, are recognized in profit or loss.

In the case that profit or loss incurring from non-monetary items is recognized as other comprehensive income, or profit or loss, the effects from translation of such items are recognized in other comprehensive income and in profit or loss, respectively.

(ii) Foreign operations

If the presentation currency of the Bank is different from a foreign operation’s functional currency, the financial statements of the foreign operation are translated into the presentation currency using the following methods:

Unless the functional currency of foreign operations is in a state of hyper inflation, assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the closing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses on the statement of comprehensive income are translated at the exchange rates of the date of transaction. Foreign currency differences that arise from translation are recognized as other comprehensive income, and the disposal of a foreign operation is re-categorized as profit or loss as of the moment the disposal profit or loss is recognized.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation, and any adjustments in fair value to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities due to such acquisition, are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Therefore, such are expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operations and, alongside other assets and liabilities of the foreign operation, translated at the closing exchange rate.

In the case of the disposal of a foreign operation, cumulative amounts of exchange difference regarding the foreign operation, recognized separately from other comprehensive income, are re-categorized from assets to profit or loss as of the moment the disposal profit or loss is recognized.

(iii) Foreign exchange of net investment in foreign operations

Monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, with none or little possibility of being settled in the foreseeable future, are considered a part of the net investment in the foreign operation. Therefore, the exchange difference is recognized as comprehensive profit or loss in the financial statement, and re-categorized to profit or loss as of the disposal of the related net investment.

(4) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly fluid investments with three months or less until maturity.

(5) Non-derivative financial assets

The Bank recognizes and measures non-derivative financial assets by the following four categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. Moreover, the Bank recognizes financial assets on the statement of financial position as of the time the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Non-derivative financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition and, unless designated at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly regarding acquisition and issuance of such assets are summed to the initial fair value.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Any financial asset classified as held-for-trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition is categorized under financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) are measured at fair value upon initial recognition, and changes therein are recognized as profit or loss. Furthermore, transaction costs regarding acquisition upon initial recognition are recognized as profit or loss as incurred.

(ii) Held-to-maturity financial assets

If a non-derivative financial asset has a fixed maturity with a fixed or determinable payment, and the Bank has positive intent and ability to hold such an asset, it is classified as held-to-maturity financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortized costs using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method.

(iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Furthermore, the effective interest rate method is applied to recognize interest incomes on financial investments, except short-term loans and receivables, in which the method is immaterial.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Any non-derivative financial asset, not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity financial assets, or loans and receivables, is classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, such assets are measured at fair value. However, equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and cannot be reliably measured, and any derivatives that are linked to these instruments and need to be settled upon the delivery of such equity instruments are measured at cost. Accumulated other comprehensive income, reflected in equity as fair value changes, is recognized as profit or loss as of the time the related available-for-sale asset is disposed of or the impairment loss is recognized. Furthermore, dividends earned whilst holding available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income upon the establishment of the right to receive the payment.

(v) De-recognition of financial assets

The Bank de-recognizes a financial asset when the rights to receive cash flow from an asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive cash flow and substantially all the risks and rewards from the ownership of a financial asset. In the case that the Bank has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of an asset, the Bank de-recognizes any assets if it does not have control, and recognizes any assets to the extent of the Bank’s continuing involvement if it does have control. In the latter case, any associated liabilities are recognized by the Bank. In the case the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards from the ownership of an asset it does not have control of, the Bank continues to recognize the financial asset, and recognizes consideration received as financial liabilities.

(vi) Offsetting between financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are set-off only under the conditions that the Bank has legal rights to set-off the recognized amounts, and the intention to settle on a net basis or to realize assets and settle liabilities at the same time.

(6) Impairment of financial assets

The Bank assesses the possibility of objective evidence that may indicate any impairment of financial assets, except those designated at fair value through profit or loss, at each reporting date. A financial asset is defined as impaired if, as a result of one or more events after initial recognition, the estimated future cash flow of the asset has been affected. However, expected impairments from future events are not recognized, regardless of their likelihood.

Upon the finding of objective evidence to believe an asset is impaired, the impairment is measured and recognized in profit or loss as follows, according to the asset category:

(i) Impairment of loans and receivables

The Bank assesses, at each reporting date, whether objective evidence that indicate impairment of loans and receivables exist. Upon the finding of objective evidence to believe impairment has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted using the initial effective interest rate (“EIR”). Furthermore, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

For individually significant impaired assets, the Bank determines allowances on losses through individual assessment. For those that do not have objective evidence to believe impairment exist or are not individually significant, the Bank groups such assets with similar characteristics and determines allowances on losses through collective assessment.

In individual assessment, allowances on losses are computed using the discounted expected recoverable value, estimated by operating cash flows or collateral cash flow; in collective assessment, allowances on losses are computed using statistical methods based on obtainable historical loss experience.

The present value of estimated future cash flows is measured using the asset’s initial EIR. If the loan has a floating interest rate, the Bank uses the current EIR for the measurement. Future cash flows from collateral are estimated at net cash flow from disposal of collateral (deducting transaction cost).

Notes to the Separate Interim Financial Statements—(Continued)

For the purpose of a collective assessment of impairment, assets are analyzed on the basis of the Bank’s internal credit rating system that considers credit risk characteristics such as asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors.

Future cash flows of the assets collectively assessed are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions on which the historical loss experience is based, and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that no longer exist. Estimates of changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with, changes in related observable data from year to year (such as changes in unemployment rates, property prices, commodity prices, payment status, or other factors that are indicative of incurred loss in the Bank and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

(ii) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets

The Bank assesses, at each reporting date, whether objective evidence that indicate impairment of available-for-sale assets exists. Upon the finding of objective evidence to believe impairment has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value.

An available-for-sale financial asset is defined as impaired if the current fair value of the asset falls significantly or continuously below the acquisition cost. Accordingly, the Bank considers a 30% or higher fall in the current fair value, in comparison to the acquisition cost, a ‘significant decline.’ Moreover, in the case that the market price of a marketable equity security falls below the acquisition cost for a time equivalent to or longer than 6 months, the fall is considered a ‘prolonged decline.’

If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. Moreover, the impairment loss is directly reduced from the carrying amount of the available-for-sale financial asset.

(iii) Impairment of held-to-maturity financial assets

The Bank assesses individually, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a held-to-maturity financial asset is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, which is discounted using the initial EIR, and recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a financial asset held to maturity increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. Moreover, the impairment loss is directly reduced from the carrying amount of the held-to-maturity financial asset.

(iv) Loss events of financial assets

Objective evidences that a financial asset is impaired include the following loss events:

 

   

Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor

 

   

A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments

 

S-31

The granting of a concession to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons, that the lender would not otherwise consider

 

   

A state with high probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization

 

   

The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties

 

   

The presence of observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows of a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of the group, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset within the group

(7) Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at the fair value upon agreement of the contract, and re-estimated at fair value subsequently. The recognition of profit or loss due to changes in fair value of derivative instruments is as stated below.

(i) Hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments are accounted differently depending on whether or not hedge accounting is applied, and therefore, are classified into trading purpose derivatives and hedging purpose derivatives.

Upon the transaction of hedging purpose derivatives, two different hedge accounting are applied; a fair value hedge, and a cash flow hedge. A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or firm commitment, that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect profit or loss. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that (i) is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction and (ii) could affect profit or loss. For trading purpose derivatives transaction, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in net income.

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Bank formally documents the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including the nature of the risk, the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, and the method that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. Also, at the inception of the hedge relationship, a formal assessment is undertaken to ensure the hedging instrument is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the designated risk in the hedged item and that the actual result was so.

Fair value hedge

For designated and qualifying fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of a hedging derivative is recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. Meanwhile, the change in the fair value of the hedged item, attributable to the risk hedged, is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. When the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is terminated. For hedged item recorded at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying value of the hedged item on termination and the face value is amortized over the remaining term of the original hedge using the EIR.

 

S-32


Table of Contents

Korea Development Bank

Notes to the Separate Interim Financial Statements—(Continued)

June 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

 

Cash flow hedge

For designated and qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of gain or loss on the hedging instruments is initially recognized directly in equity. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. When the hedged cash flow affects the profit or loss in statement of comprehensive income, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recorded in the corresponding income or expense line in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. When a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the hedged forecasted transaction is ultimately recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain and loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

(ii) Embedded derivative instruments

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives. The Bank records embedded derivative instruments at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. If the embedded derivative cannot be measured separately from the host contract, the Bank aggregately designates the host contract and embedded derivative as a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. Changes due to the fair value assessment of embedded derivative instruments are recognized in profit or loss

(iii) Other derivative financial instruments

Changes in the fair value of other derivative financial instrument, not designated as a hedging instrument, are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(8) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets is determined by referencing quoted market prices at each reporting date. For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation methods.

The Bank’s policies for measuring fair value of financial instruments at amortized costs are as follows:

 

   

Cash and due from banks: Fair value of cash is considered equivalent to the carrying amount. In the case of due from banks on demand, which do not have a set maturity and can be realized instantly, the carrying amount is considered to be a close estimate of the fair value and is assumed so. In the case of other ordinary due from banks, the cash flow discount method is used to estimate the fair value.

 

   

Loans: The fair value of loans is the expected future cash flows, reflecting premature redemption ratio, discounted by the market interest rate, adjusted by a spread sheet considering the probability of default. Exceptions to this method include loans with credit line facilities, loans with a maturity of three months or less left and impaired loans, which the Bank assumes the carrying amount as the fair value.

 

   

Held-to-maturity financial assets: The fair value of held-to-maturity financial assets are computed by widely-accepted appraisal agencies upon request.

 

S-33


Table of Contents

Korea Development Bank

Notes to the Separate Interim Financial Statements—(Continued)

June 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

 

   

Deposits: The fair value of deposits is computed using the discounted cash flow method. However for deposits, whose cash flows cannot be estimated reasonably, the Bank assumes the carrying amount as the fair value.

 

   

Borrowings: For borrowings in Korean won, the fair value is computed using the discounted cash flow method. For borrowings in foreign currency, the fair value is computed by widely-accepted appraisal agencies upon request.

 

   

Bonds: The fair value of industrial financial debentures in Korean won, except structured debentures in Korean won, is computed using the discounted cash flow method. For structured industrial financial debentures in Korean won and industrial financial debentures in foreign currency, the fair value is computed by widely-accepted appraisal agencies upon request.

 

   

Other financial assets and liabilities: The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities is computed using the discounted cash flow method. However, in cases cash flow cannot be estimated reasonably, the Bank assumes the carrying amount as the fair value.

(9) Day one profit or loss recognition

For financial instruments classified as level 3 on the fair value level hierarchy measured using assess variables not observable in the market, the Bank amortizes the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price, which is equivalent to Day one profit or loss, by using the straight line method over time on an appropriate basis.

(10) Property and equipment

The Bank’s property and equipment are recognized at the carrying amount as historical costs less accumulated depreciations and accumulated impairments in value. Historical costs include the expenditures directly related to the acquisition of assets.

Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of assets or, if appropriate, as separate assets if the probabilities future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow into the Bank and the costs can be measured reliably; the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Furthermore, any other repairs or maintenances are charge to profit or loss as incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to the amount of residual value less acquisition cost over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Type

   Useful lives (years)

Buildings

   20 ~ 50

Structure

   10 ~ 40

Leasehold improvements

   4

Movable property

   4

Property and equipment are impaired when its carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The Bank assesses residual value and economic life of its assets at each reporting date and makes adjustments to its useful life when necessary. Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized in non-operating income (expense) in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

S-34

Korea Development Bank

Notes to the Separate Interim Financial Statements—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

(11) Investment property

The Bank classifies property held for the purpose of rental income or benefits from capital appreciation as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the cost model is applied. Subsequent to initial recognition, an item of investment property is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period of de-recognition. Reclassification to other account is made if there is a change in use of corresponding investment properties.

Depreciation of investment property is calculated using the straight line method over its estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Type

   Useful lives (years)  

Buildings

     20 ~ 50   

Structure

     10 ~ 40   

(12) Intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognized only when its cost can be measured reliably, and the probabilities future economic benefits from the asset will flow into the Bank are high. Separately acquired intangible assets are recognized at the acquisition cost, and subsequently, the cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment is recognized as the carrying amount.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the four-year to 30-year period of useful economic lives using the straight line method. At the end of each reporting period, the Bank reviews intangible assets for any evidence that indicate impairment, and upon the presence of such evidence, the Bank estimates the amount recoverable and reviews the recognition of this loss.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. Furthermore, the Bank reviews such intangible assets as to determine whether or not it is appropriate to consider these assets to have indefinite useful lives. If in the case the Bank concludes an asset is not qualified to be classified as non-finite, prospective measures are taken to consider such an asset as finite.

(13) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Bank tests for any evidence of impairment in assets and reviews whether or not the impairment has taken place by estimating the recoverable amount, at the end of each reporting period. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost and value in use of an asset.

Except for impairment losses in respect of goodwill which are never reversed, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

(14) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Bank classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities, in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liability. The Bank recognizes these financial liabilities in the statement of financial position when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial liability.

(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the current year include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities and derivatives are classified as financial instruments held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of repurchasing in the near future. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL upon initial recognition, if the profit or loss from the liabilities indicates to be more purpose-appropriate to be recognized as profit or loss. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are designated at fair value in subsequent measurements, and any related un-realized profit or loss is recognized as profit or loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are recognized at fair value less cost less transaction cost upon initial recognition, and subsequently at amortized costs. The difference between the proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the periods of the liabilities using the EIR.

Fees paid on the establishment of a loan facility are recognized as transaction costs of the loan, if the probability that some or all of the facility will be drawn down is high. If, however, there is not enough evidence to conclude a draw-down of some or all of the facility will occur, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

(iii) De-recognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.

(15) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to the Bank during an accounting period, the Bank recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

(ii) Retirement benefits: defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a retirement plan in which a fixed amount of contribution is paid on a separate fund. The Bank holds no future responsibility once the contribution has been paid to the separate fund, and recognizes the payment made on the due date of the contribution as payroll costs. Furthermore, in the occurrence of excessive contribution due to prepayment, contributions already paid are deducted from future payments or the repayable amounts are recognized as assets.

(iii) Retirement benefits: defined benefit plans

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect to the defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the date of the statement of financial position less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and have terms to maturity similar to the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and actual results are recognized as other comprehensive income in the current year.

(16) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation 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 of the amount of the obligation.

(17) Financial guarantees

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer (the Bank) to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the original or changed terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees are initially recognized in the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given, and amortized over the period of the guarantee. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Bank’s liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of:

 

   

The amount determined in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1037 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets,’ and

 

   

The initial amount less amortization of fees recognized in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1018 ‘Revenue.’

(18) Securities under resale or repurchase agreements

Securities purchased under agreements to resell are recorded as other loans and receivables and the related interest from these securities is recorded as interest income; securities sold under agreements to repurchase are recorded as other borrowings, and the related interest from these securities is recorded as interest expense.

(19) Interest income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest method measures the amortized costs of financial instruments and allocates the interest income or expense during the related period.

Upon the calculation of the effective interest rate, the Bank estimates future cash flows by taking into consideration all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not future credit loss. The calculation also reflects any fees or points paid or received, transaction costs and any related premiums or discounts. In the case that the cash flow and expected duration of a financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, the effective interest rate is calculated by the contractual cash flow during the contract period.

Once an impairment loss has been recognized on a financial asset or a group of similar assets, subsequent interest income is recognized on the interest rate that was used to discount future cash flow for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.

(20) Fees and commission income

Fees and commission income and expense are classified as follows according to related regulations:

(i) Fees and commission from financial instruments

Fees and commission income and expense that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate. It includes those related to evaluation of the borrowers’ financial status, guarantee, collateral, other agreements and related evaluation as well as business transaction, rewards for activities, such as document preparation and recording and setup fees incurred during issuance of financial liabilities. However, when financial instruments are classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, fees and commission are recognized as revenue upon initial recognition.

(ii) Fees and commission from services

Fees and commission income charged in exchange for services to be performed during a certain period of time such as asset management fees, consignment fees and assurance service fees are recognized as the related services are performed. When a loan commitment is not expected to result in the draw-down of a loan and K-IFRS No. 1039 ‘Financial Instrument: Recognition and Measurement,’ is not applied for the commitment, the related loan commitment fees are recognized as revenue proportionally to time over the commitment period.

(iii) Fees and commission from significant transaction

Fees and commission from significant transactions, such as trading stocks and other securities, negotiation and mediation activities for third parties, for instance business transfer and takeover, are recognized when transactions are completed.

(21) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized upon the establishment of the Bank’s right to receive the payment.

(22) Income tax expense

The Bank computes income tax expense by summing income tax payable of the corresponding annual period, according to income tax law, and the change in deferred income tax of the same year.

The Bank recognizes temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount as deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are estimated as the increased or decreased payable income tax due to the elimination of temporary differences in the future. Income tax effects of temporary differences are reflected in the income tax expense of the corresponding period, and income tax effects of temporary differences related to items that are directly reflected in the capital category are reflected in the corresponding capital category directly.

The realization possibility of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date, and in the case the possibility that subsequent income tax will occur is high and it is probable that the decrease effect of income tax on deferred income tax assets will be realized, deferred income tax assets are recognized in assets. Furthermore, in the case of carried forward tax credit and tax credit, deferred income tax assets are recognized in the extent of taxable income upon the condition that the possibility future taxable income, where deduction carried forward can be applied, will occur is high.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities may be off-set if the Bank has a legally enforceable right to offset the related current income tax assets and liabilities, they relate to income tax levied by the same tax authority, they are intended to be settled on a net basis, or the Bank has intentions to realize assets and settle liabilities during each accounting period.

(23) Accounting for trust accounts

The Bank, upon accounting, differentiates trust assets from identifiable assets according to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. Furthermore, the Bank receives trust fees from the application, management and disposal of trust assets, and appropriates such amounts for fees from trust accounts.

Meanwhile, in the case the fee from an unspecified principals and interests guaranteed money in trust does not meet the principal or interest amount, even after appropriating deficit with trust fees and special reserve, the Bank fills in the remaining deficit in the trust account and appropriates such amounts for losses on trust accounts

(24) Regulatory reserve for loan loss

In the case that the total sum of allowance for possible loan loss does not meet the amount prescribed in Article 29(1) of the Regulations on Supervision of Banking Business, the Bank, according to K-IFRS, records the difference at the end of each reporting period, and saves the equal amount as a reserve for loan loss

In the case that the existing total sum of reserve for possible loan loss exceeds the amount needed to be set aside as of the closing date, the difference is to be reversed. Furthermore, in the case that unappropriated deficit exists, reserves for loan loss is to be saved from the time the unappropriated deficit is disposed.

(25) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to shareholders of the Bank by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Bank’s derivative financial instruments consist of trading derivatives and hedging derivatives, depending on the nature of each transaction. The Bank enters into hedging derivative transactions mainly for the purpose of hedging fair value risk related to changes in fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities.

The Bank enters into trading derivative transactions such as futures, forwards, swaps and options for arbitrage transactions by speculating on the future value of the underlying asset. Derivatives held-for trading transactions include contracts with the Bank’s clients and its liquidation position.

For the purpose of hedging the exposure to the variability of fair values of funds in Korean won by changes in interest rate, the Bank mainly uses interest swaps or currency swaps. The main counterparties are foreign financial institutions and local banks. In addition, to hedge the exposure to the variability of fair values of bonds in foreign currency by changing in interest rate or foreign exchange rate, the Bank mainly uses interest swaps or currency swaps.

The notional amounts outstanding for derivatives contracts and the carrying amount of the derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

15. Financial Liabilities Designated at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss

 

(1) Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

 

     June 30, 2013      December 31, 2012  

Borrowings

   7,131         10,770   

Bonds

     834,565         864,427   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
   841,696         875,197   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Borrowings, designated at “Fair Value Through Profit or Loss,” (FVTPL) consist of equity-index-linked securities, and others. Through designating embedded derivatives and host contracts as FVTPL items, changes in fair value of complex financial products are recognized in profit or loss. Additionally, changes in fair value of structured loans, with hedge accounting applied, are recognized in profit or loss as well. Structured loans, not applied by hedge accounting, are measured at amortized costs. Therefore, such structured loans, not applied by hedge accounting, have been designated at FVTPL in order to eliminate mismatch in measurements of accounting profit and loss.

 

(2) The difference between the carrying amount and contractual cash flow amount of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

maintained to the extent that the risks balance with profit,

 

   

diversified appropriately to avoid concentration on specific segments,

 

   

managed to prevent excessive exposure by the setting up and managing of tolerance limits and guidelines.

(ii) Risk management strategy and process

The Bank’s risk management business is separated into two different stages; the ‘metrification stage,’ in which risks are estimated and monitored, and the ‘integration stage,’ in which information gained during the risk management process is integrated and used in management strategies. Risk management is recognized as a key component of the Bank’s management, and seeks to change from its previously adaptive and limited role to a more leading and comprehensive form.

Furthermore, the Bank focuses on consistent communication among different departments in order to establish a progressive consensus on risk management.

(iii) Risk management governance

Risk Management Committee

The Bank’s Risk Management Commitee (the “Committee”) is composed of the President of the committee (an outside director), and four other commissioners including the CEO of the Bank. The Committee functions to establish policies of risk management, evaluate the capital adequacy of the Bank, discuss material issues relating to risk management, and present preliminary decisions on such matters.

The CEO of the Bank and the head of Consulting Service Department

The CEO of the Bank, according to the policies of risk management, performs his or her role to manage and direct risk management in order to sustain efficiency and internal control. The head of the Consulting Service Department is responsible for supervising the overall administration of the Bank’s risk management business and providing risk-related information to members of the board of directors and the Bank’s management.

Risk Management Practice Committee

The Bank’s Risk Management Practice Committee is composed of the main leaders of business segments, and exercises its role to review matters for decision on allocation by segment of internal capital limits and other material risk-related matters.

(iv) Performance of Risk Management Committee

The Risk Management Committee performs comprehensive reviews of all the affairs related to risk management and deliberates the decisions of the board of directors. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the key activities of the Risk Management Committee were as follows:

 

   

Major deliberation and resolution

 

   

Issuance plan and planning of subordinated Industrial Financial Debentures

Continuous improvement of Basel II

 

   

Improvements in the internal capital adequacy assessment system, in line with the guidelines set by the Financial Supervisory Service (“FSS”) in 2008, to manage capital adequacy more effectively

 

   

Improvements in the credit assessment system on Low Default Portfolio (“LDP”)

 

   

Elaboration of risk measuring criteria including credit risk parameters and measurement logics

 

   

Pre-operation of the Advanced Measurement Approach (“AMA”) since 2009, in arrangement with the FSS, to apply the risk management AMA

 

   

Expansion of risk management infrastructure to the global IB level

 

   

Establishment of the RAPM system in order to reflect risks to the Bank’s business and support decision-making upon management, and application of performance assessment at the branch level since 2010

 

   

Enforcement of risk management related to irregular compound derivatives and validation of the derivative pricing model developed by the Bank’s Front Office

 

   

Risk management of retail banking

 

   

On-going planning of asset expansion in the retail banking risk management operations sector of the department of risk management since the introduction of retail loan business in 2010

 

   

Establishment and application of assessment and approval standards by retail loan instruments, and expansion of retail banking risk management infrastructure such as accumulating databases in order to support analytic decision-making and develop a personal credit assessment model through the establishment of a “retail banking Data Mart”

 

   

To supplement the limit of a evaluation process with computerized system, the group adopted ‘underwriter’ which compensate the evaluation system in sophisticated level.

(vi) Risk management reporting and measuring system

The Bank endeavours consistently to objectively and rationally measure and manage all significant risks considering the characteristics of operational areas, assets, and risks. In relation to reporting and measurement, the Bank has developed application systems as follows:

 

Application system    Approach    Completion

   Standardized Approach AMA    May 2006 May 2009    Manage process and calculate CSA, KRI, OP and VaR Pre-operate the AMA

(vii) Response to Basel II

The Korean authority implemented Basel II as of January 2008, and adopted the Standardized Approach and the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based Approach. The Advanced Approaches were adopted later in 2009.

In conformity with the implementation roadmap of Basel II, the Bank obtained the approval to use the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based Approach on credit risk from the FSS in July 2008 and has applied the approach since late June 2008. The Bank applies the Standardized Approach on market risks and operational risks.

To establish credibility and maintain financial soundness, the Bank plans to adopt the Advanced Approaches (Credit risk: Advanced Internal Ratings-Based Approach, Operational risk: Advanced Measurement Approach etc) by continuously improving related systems and policies. Furthermore, the Bank is proceeding with “Basel3 standard risk management system” project since January 2013, in preparation of the adoption of Basel 3 regulations announced December 2010.

(viii) Internal capital adequacy assessment process

Internal capital adequacy assessment process is defined as the process that the Bank aggregates significant risks, calculates its internal capital, compares the internal capital with the available capital and assesses its internal capital adequacy.

Internal capital adequacy assessment

For the purpose of the internal capital adequacy assessment, the Bank calculates its aggregated internal capital and available capital by evaluating all significant risks and taking into account the quality and components of capital, and then assesses the internal capital adequacy by comparing the aggregated internal capital with the available capital.

 

   

Goal setting of internal capital management

The Bank sets up and manages an internal capital limit on an annual basis, through the approval of the Risk Management Committee, in order to maintain internal capital adequacy by managing internal capital (integrated risks) within the extent of available capital.

The prior year’s internal capital, analysis of domestic and foreign environment changes in the current year, and the direction and size of operations are all reflected in the goal setting of internal capital management to calculate the integrated internal capital scale. Moreover, Bank for International Settlements(“BIS”) capital adequacy ratio and risk appetite are taken into consideration in the goal setting of internal capital management

 

   

Allocation of internal capital

The Bank’s entire internal capital is allocated to each headquarter and department, according to the extent of possible risk faced and size of operations, after the Risk Management Committee’s deliberation and the board of directors’ approval. The allocated internal capital is monitored regularly and managed using various management methods. The results of monitoring and managing the allocated internal capital are reported to the Risk Management Committee. In case of any material changes in the Bank’s business plan or risk operation strategy, the Bank adjusts the allocations elastically.

 

   

Composition of internal capital

Internal capital comprises all the significant risks of the Bank and is composed of quantifiable and non-quantifiable risks. Quantifiable risks are composed of credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, operational risk and credit concentration risk, and are risks measured quantitatively by applying reasonable methodology using objective data. Non-quantifiable risks are composed of strategy risk, reputation risk, residual risk on asset securitization and furthermore. Non-quantifiable risks are those risks that cannot be measured quantitatively because of lack of data or the absence of appropriate measuring methologies.

(2) Credit Risk

(i) Concept

Credit risk can be defined as potential loss resulting from the refusal to perform obligations or default of counterparties. More generally, it is used to refer to the possibility of loss from engaged bonds that cannot be retrieved properly or from substitute payments.

(ii) Approach to credit risk management

Summary of credit risk management

The Bank regards credit risk as the most important risk area in its business operations, and accordingly, closely monitors its credit risk exposure. The Bank manages both credit risks at portfolio level and at individual credit level. At portfolio level, the Bank reduces credit concentration and restructures the portfolio in such a way to maximize profitability considering the risk level. To avoid credit concentration on a particular sector, the Bank manages credit limits by client, group, and industry. The Bank also resets exposure management directives for each industry by conducting an industry credit evaluation twice a year.

At the individual credit level, the relationship manager (“RM”), the credit officer (“CO”) and the Credit Review Committee manage each borrower’s credit risk.

Post management and insolvent borrower management

The Bank monitors the borrower’s credit rating from the date of the loan to the date of the final collection of debt consistently, and inspects the borrower’s status regularly and frequently in order to prevent the generation of new bad debts and to stabilize the number of debt recoveries.

In addition, an early warning system is operated to spot borrowers that are highly likely to be insolvent. The early warning system provides financial information, financial transaction information, public information and market information of the borrower, and such information is used by the RM and the CO to monitor and manage changes in the borrower’s credit rating.

Under the early warning system, a borrower that is highly likely to be insolvent is classified as an early warning borrower or a precautionary borrower The Bank sets up a specific and applicable stabilization plan for such a borrower considering the borrower’s characteristics. Furthermore, sub-standard borrowers are classified as insolvent borrowers, and are managed intensively by the Bank, which takes legal proceedings, disposals or corporate turnaround measures if necessary.

Classification of asset soundness and provision of allowance for loss

Classification of asset soundness is fulfilled by the analysis and assessment of credit risk. The classification is used in order to provision an appropriate allowance, prevent further occurrences of insolvent assets and promote the normalization of existing insolvent assets to enhance the stabilization of asset operations.

Based on the Financial Supervisory Regulations of the Republic of Korea, the Bank has established standards and guidelines on the classification of asset soundness, according to the Forward Looking Criteria (“FLC”), which reflects not only the borrower’s past records of repayment but also their future debt repayment capability.

In conformity with these standards, the Bank classifies the soundness of its assets as “normal”, “precautionary”, “substandard”, “doubtful”, or “estimated loss” and differentiates the coverage ratio by the level of classification.

(iii) Measurement methodology of credit risk

Pursuant to Basel II, the Bank selects the measurement methodology of credit risk considering the difficulty of measurement, measurement factors, estimating methods and others. Measurement approaches are divided into Standardized Approach and Internal Ratings-Based Approach.

Standardized Approach (“SA”)

In the case of the Standardized Approach, the risk weights are applied according to the credit rating assessed by External Credit Assessment Institution (“ECAI”). Risk weights in each credit rating are as follows:

 

Credit rating(*)

       Corporate           Country           Bank      

    Asset securitization    

AAA ~ AA-

   20.00%   0.00%   20.00%   20.00%

A+ ~ A-

   50.00%   20.00%   50.00%   50.00%

BBB+ ~ BBB-

   100.00%   50.00%   100.00%   100.00%

BB+ ~ BB-

   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%   350.00%

B+ ~ B-

   150.00%   100.00%   100.00%   Deducted from Equity (1,250%)

Below B-

   150.00%   150.00%   150.00%  

Unrated

   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%  

 

(*) Credit rating refer to those evaluated by global credit rating agencies such as S&P or Moody’s

The OECD, S&P, Moody’s and Fitch are designated as foreign ECAI and Korea Investors Service Co., Ltd., NICE Investors Services Co., Ltd. and the Korea Ratings Co., Ltd. are designated as domestic ECAI.

The Bank applies the credit rating based on the corresponding loan and same borrower’s unsecured senior loans. In the case the borrower’s risk weight is higher than the unrated exposure’s risk weight (100%), the higher weight is applied. In the case the borrower has more than one rating, the higher weight of the two lowest weights (second best criteria) is applied.

Internal Ratings-Based Approach (“IRB”)

To use the Internal Ratings-Based Approach, a bank must be approved by the FSS and should also meet the requirement pre-set by the FSS.

In relation to Basel II that has been adopted domestically as of January 2008, the Bank gained approval from the FSS to use the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based Approach in July 2008. The Bank has calculated credit risk-weighted assets using the approach since late June 2008.

Measurement method of credit risk-weighted asset

The Bank calculates credit risk-weighted assets of corporate exposures and asset securitization exposures using the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based Approach currently, June 30, 2013.

The Standardized Approach is applied to country exposures, public institution exposures and bank exposures according to the interpretation of the FSS permanently, and applied to overseas subsidiary and the Bank’s branch pursuant to prior consultation with the FSS.

The Standard Approach is applied to special finance, non-residents, non-banking financial institutions currently, and will be replaced by the Internal Ratings-Based Approach in the future.

(*1) Pursuant to the interpretation of the FSS, the Standardized Approach is applied to the exposures of governments, banks, and other public institutions.
(*2) The Standardized Approach is applied, pursuant to prior consultation with the FSS, in the case the credit risk-weighted assets of a specific business segment is less than 15% of the entire credit risk-weighted assets.

The mitigated effect of credit risks reflects the related policies which consider eligible collateral and guarantees. The Bank calculates the credit risk-weighted assets using the capital adequacy ratio.

Upon the calculation of credit risk-weighted assets for derivatives, the Bank takes into consideration the set-off effects of transactions under legally enforceable rights to set-off to calculate exposures.

Credit rating model

The results of credit rating are presented as grades through an assessment of the debt repayment capacity that the principal and interest of debt securities or loans are redeemed while complying with contractual redemption schedule.

Using the Bank’s internal credit rating model, the Bank classifies debtors’ credit rating into 10 grades (AAA~D). Plus sign (+) and minus sign (-) are attached to the grades (AA~B) to distinguish the difference between credits in the identical grade. As a result, the Bank’s credit rating model uses 20 grades.

The Bank’s regular credit rating process is carried out once a year and in the case of the change of debtor’s credit condition, the credit rating is frequently adjusted as necessary to retain the adequacy of credit rating.

The results of credit rating is applied to various areas such as discrimination of loan processes, loan limit, loan interest rate, post loan management standard process, credit risk measurement, and allowance for bad debts assessment.

Credit process control structure

According to the Principle of Checks and Balances the Bank has established the credit process control structure by which the credit rating system operates appropriately.

 

   

Independent assessment of credit rating: The Bank’s business segment (RM) and credit rating assessment segment (CO) are independently operated

 

   

Independent control of credit rating system: The control of credit rating system including the development of credit rating model is independently implemented by the Bank’s consulting service department.

 

   

Independent verification of credit rating system: Credit rating system is independently verified by the validation team of the Consulting Service Department.

Internal audit of credit rating process: Credit rating process is audited by the Bank’s internal audit department.

 

   

Role of the Board of Directors and the Bank’s management: Major issues relating to credit process are approved by the Board of Directors and are regularly monitored by the Bank’s top management.

The Bank reviews debt serviceability based on a credit analysis when handling loans. Depending on the results, credit loan preservation is adjusted as necessary using such methods as interest rate preservation due to credit risk.

The Bank evaluates the value of the collateral, performing ability and legal validity of the guarantee at the initial acquisition. The Bank re-evaluates the provided collateral and guarantees regularly for them to be reasonably preserved.

For guarantees, the Bank demands a corresponding written guarantee according to loan handling standards and the guarantor’s credit rating is independently calculated when in conformance with the credit rating endowment method

(3) Capital management activities

(i) Capital adequacy

The FSS approved the Bank’s use of the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based Approach in July 2008. The Company has been using the same approach when calculating credit risk-weighted assets since the end of June, 2008. The equity capital ratio and equity capital according to the standards of the Bank for International Settlements are calculated for the purpose of such disclosure. The equity capital ratio and equity capital are calculated on a consolidated basis.

(4) Market risk

(i) Concept

Market risk is defined as the possibility of potential loss on a trading position resulting from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and the price of stocks and derivatives. Trading position is exposed to risks, such as interest rates, stock prices, and foreign exchange rates, etc. Non-trading position is mostly exposed to interest rates. Accordingly, the Bank classifies market risks into those exposed from trading position or those exposed from non-trading position.

(ii) Market risks of trading positions

Management method on market risks arising from trading positions

Trading position includes securities, foreign exchange position, and derivatives which are traded for short-term profits.

Market risk is managed using VaR limit and loss limit. VaR limit is calculated in the view of entire bank and the calculated VaR limit is distributed into each department and each type (stock price, interest rates, foreign exchange rates and option). The trading department regulates and operates terms of stop loss and investment limits.

Using the Standardized Approach and internal model of VaR, the Bank’s VaR is measured daily and the measured VaR is used for risk monitoring and limit management. In the estimation of VaR, the historical simulation and two other supplemental procedures are used: variance-covariance matrix and Monte Carlo simulation. Through the stress test and back test, the estimation of VaR is validated daily.

Upon the estimation of market risk, the Standardized Approach and the internal model are used. The Standardized Approach is used in order to calculate the required capital from market risk and the internal model is used in order to manage risks internally.

Since July 2007 the Bank has measured one-day VaR through the historical simulation method using the time series data of past 250 days under a 99% confidence level. The calculated VaR is monitored on a daily basis.

In the implementation of the stress test, the Bank applies three scenarios based on the fluctuation of market index that occurred at the time of the historical events that resulted in the significant shock such as the IMF crisis and the 9/11 attacks. The stress test is implemented by the system daily in order to provide for crisis occurrences. Furthermore, the Bank is conducting a contingency plan for market risk management. The plan distinguishes the crisis condition into three stages—precautious stage, precrisis stage and crisis stage—through the measurement of the market volatility.

For the validation of the market risk measurement methodology, the Bank daily implements the back testing that compares the simulated loss, the actual loss and the previous day’s VaR. In addition, the Bank enforces the market risk management relating to irregular compound derivatives through the validation of the derivative pricing model developed by the Bank’s Front Office.

(iii) Market risks of non-trading positions

Management method on market risks arising from non-trading positions

The most critical market risk that arises in non-trading position is the interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the likely loss resulting from the unfavorable fluctuation of interest rate in the Bank’s financial condition and is measured by interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR.

Interest rate VaR is the maximum amount of a decrease in net asset value resulting from the unfavorable fluctuation of interest rate. Interest rate EaR is the maximum amount of decrease in net interest income resulting from the unfavorable fluctuation of interest rate for a year.

The Bank’s interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR are measured through the simulation of conclusive interest rate scenario with the Oracle Financial Services Application (OFSA) and are reported on a monthly basis to the Risk Management Committee. The Management’s target of interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR are approved at the beginning of the year. Additionally, the interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR on a consolidated basis are calculated using the Standardized Approach in order to retain the consistency in the methods used by the Bank and its subsidiaries.

(5) Liquidity risk management

(i) Concept

Liquidity risk is defined as the possibility of potential loss due to a temporary shortage in funds caused by a maturity mismatch or an unexpected capital outlay. Liquidity risk soars when funding rates rise, assets are sold below a normal price, or a good investment opportunity is missed.

(ii) Approach to liquidity risk management

Since the methodology to quantifiably measure liquidity risk does not formally exist, the Bank manages its liquidity risks as follows:

Allowable limit for liquidity risk

 

   

The allowable limit for liquidity risk sets liquidity ratio and remaining maturity gap

 

   

The management standards with regards to the allowable limit for liquidity risk should be set using separate and stringent set ratios in accordance with the FSS guidelines.

<Measurement Methodology>

 

   

Liquidity ratio : (Maturing liquidity asset in the interval / Maturing liquidity liability in the interval) X 100

 

   

Remaining maturity gap : (Maturing liquidity asset in the interval—Maturing liquidity liability in the interval) / total assets X 100

Early Warning Indicator

In order to identify prematurely and cope with worsening liquidity risk trends, the Bank has set up 13 indexes such as the “Foreign Exchange Stabilization Bond CDS Premium,” and measures the trend monthly, weekly and daily as a means for establishing the allowable liquidity risk limit complementary measures.

Stress-Test analysis and contingency plan

The Bank evaluates the effects on the liquidity risk and identifies the inherent flaws. In the case where an unpredictable and significant liquidity crisis occurs, the Bank executes risk situation analysis quarterly based on crises specific to the Bank, market risk, and complex emergency, and reports to the Risk Management Committee for the purpose of the Bank’s solvency securitization.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The following is a description of some of the terms of the Notes we are offering. Since it is only a summary, we urge you to read the fiscal agency agreement described below and the forms of global note before deciding whether to invest in the Notes. We have filed a copy of these documents with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to the registration statement no. 333-189409.

The general terms of our Notes are described in the accompanying prospectus. The description in this prospectus supplement further adds to that description or, to the extent inconsistent with that description, replaces it.

Governed by Fiscal Agency Agreement

We will issue the Notes under the fiscal agency agreement, dated as of February 15, 1991, as amended and supplemented from time to time, between us and The Bank of New York (now The Bank of New York Mellon), as fiscal agent. The fiscal agent will maintain a register for the Notes.

Payment of Principal and Interest

Floating Rate Notes

The Floating Rate Notes are initially limited to US$             aggregate principal amount and will mature on                             , 20     (the “Floating Rate Maturity Date”). The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest for each Interest Period (as defined below) at a rate equal to Three-Month USD LIBOR plus     % per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January     , April     , July      and October      of each year (each a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”), beginning on April     , 2014. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes will accrue from January     , 2014. If any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date or the Floating Rate Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a business day (as defined below), that Floating Rate Interest Payment Date or the Floating Rate Maturity Date will be postponed to the following day that is a business day, except that if such next business day is in the next calendar month, then that Floating Rate Interest Payment Date or the Floating Rate Maturity Date will be the immediately preceding day that is a business day. The term “business day” as used herein means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or any other day on which banking institutions in The City of New York and Seoul are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

We will pay interest to the person who is registered as the owner of a Floating Rate Note at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a business day) preceding such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Period (as defined herein) divided by 360. We will make principal and interest payments on the Floating Rate Notes in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars.

The term “Three-Month USD LIBOR” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date (as defined below):

(a) the rate for three-month deposits in United States dollars commencing on the second London Banking Day (as defined below) succeeding the Interest Determination Date, that appears on the Reuters Page LIBOR01 (as defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date; or

(b) if no rate appears on the particular Interest Determination Date on the Reuters Page LIBOR01, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) as the arithmetic mean of at least two offered quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in United States dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the second London Banking Day (as defined below) succeeding the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the

Table of Contents

London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; or

(c) if fewer than two offered quotations referred to in clause (b) are provided as requested, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the particular Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period of three months commencing on the second London Banking Day succeeding the Interest Determination Date, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States dollars in that market at that time; or

(d) if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (c), Three-Month USD LIBOR in effect immediately prior to the particular Interest Determination Date.

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display on Reuters (or any successor service) on such page (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association or any successor thereof as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for United States dollars.

“London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in United States dollars, in London, England.

“Interest Determination Date” for any Interest Period will be the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of such Interest Period.

“Interest Period” refers to the period from and including January     , 2014 to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period from and including an Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date.

The Bank of New York Mellon will serve as the “Calculation Agent” for the Notes. In the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s determination of Three-Month USD LIBOR and its calculation of the applicable interest rate for each Interest Period will be final and binding. The Calculation Agent will make available the interest rates for current and preceding Interest Periods by delivery of such notice through such medium as is available to participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, or any successor thereof, and in accordance with such applicable rules and procedures as long as the Notes are held in global form. In the event that the Notes are held in certificated form, the interest rates for current and preceding Interest Periods will be published in the manner described below under “—Notices”. We have the right to replace the Calculation Agent with the London office of another leading commercial bank or investment bank in New York or London. If the appointed office of the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to continue to act as the Calculation Agent or fails to determine the interest rate for any Interest Period, we have a duty to appoint the London office of such other leading commercial bank or investment bank in New York or London as may be approved in writing by the fiscal agent.

Fixed Rate Notes

The Fixed Rate Notes are initially limited to US$                     aggregate principal amount and will mature on                      (the “Maturity Date”). The Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at the rate of     % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January              and July              of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on July             , 2014. Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes will accrue from January             , 2014. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date shall be a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or Seoul are authorized or obligated by law to close, then such payment will not be made on such date but will be made on the next succeeding day which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of

 

S-121


Table of Contents

New York or Seoul are authorized or obligated by law to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall be payable in respect of any such delay. We will pay interest to the person who is registered as the owner of a Fixed Rate Note at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a business day) preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. We will make principal and interest payments on the Fixed Rate Notes in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars.

The payment of interest and the repayment of principal on the Notes will not be guaranteed by the Government. However, under the KDB Act, the Government is obligated to guarantee the payment of the principal of and interest on our foreign currency debt with an original maturity of one year or more at the time of issuance (including the Notes offered hereby) outstanding as of the date of the initial sale of the Government’s equity interest in KDBFG, subject to the authorization of the Government guarantee amount by the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. See “The Korea Development Bank—Overview” and “—Business—Government Support and Supervision” in the accompanying prospectus.

Denomination

The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of US$200,000 principal amount and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

Redemption

We may not redeem the Notes prior to maturity. At maturity, we will redeem the Notes at par.

Form and Registration

We will issue each series of the Notes in the form of one or more fully registered global notes, registered in the name of a nominee of and deposited with the custodian for DTC. Except as described in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of the Securities—Description of Debt Securities—Global Securities,” the global notes will not be exchangeable for Notes in definitive registered form, and will not be issued in definitive registered form. Financial institutions, acting as direct and indirect participants in DTC, will represent your beneficial interests in the global notes. These financial institutions will record the ownership and transfer of your beneficial interest through book-entry accounts. You may hold your beneficial interests in the Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream if you are a participant in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the Notes will take place through DTC participants, including Euroclear and Clearstream. See “Clearance and Settlement—Transfers Within and Between DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream.”

The fiscal agent will not charge you any fees for the Notes, other than reasonable fees for the replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Notes. However, you may incur fees for the maintenance and operation of the book-entry accounts with the clearing systems in which your beneficial interests are held.

For so long as the Notes are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, we will appoint and maintain a paying agent in Singapore, where the certificates representing the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment or redemption (if required), in the event that we issue the Notes in definitive form in the limited circumstances set forth in the accompanying prospectus. In addition, an announcement of such issue will be made through the SGX-ST. Such announcement will include all material information with respect to the delivery of the definitive Notes, including details of the paying agent in Singapore.

Further Issues

We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional debt securities with the same terms and conditions as either series of the Notes in all respects so that such further issue

 

S-122


Table of Contents

shall be consolidated and form a single series with the relevant series of Notes. We will not issue any such additional debt securities unless such additional securities have no more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount or such issuance would otherwise constitute a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Notices

All notices regarding the Notes will be published in London in the Financial Times and in New York in The Wall Street Journal (U.S. Edition). If we cannot, for any reason, publish notice in any of those newspapers, we will choose an appropriate alternate English language newspaper of general circulation, and notice in that newspaper will be considered valid notice. Notice will be considered made on the first date of its publication.

CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT

We have obtained the information in this section from sources we believe to be reliable, including DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. We accept responsibility only for accurately extracting information from such sources. DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform the procedures described below, and they may modify or discontinue them at any time. Neither we nor the registrar will be responsible for DTC’s, Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s performance of their obligations under their rules and procedures. Nor will we or the registrar be responsible for the performance by direct or indirect participants of their obligations under their rules and procedures.

Introduction

The Depository Trust Company

DTC is:

 

   

a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;

 

   

a “banking organization” under the New York Banking Law;

 

   

a member of the Federal Reserve System;

 

   

a “clearing corporation” under the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

 

   

a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants. It does this through electronic book-entry changes in the accounts of its direct participants, eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.

Euroclear and Clearstream

Like DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream hold securities for their participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between their participants through electronic book-entry changes in their accounts. Euroclear and Clearstream provide various services to their participants, including the safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement and lending and borrowing of internationally traded securities. Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream are financial institutions such as underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies. Some of the underwriters participating in this offering are participants in Euroclear or Clearstream. Other banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies have indirect access to Euroclear or Clearstream by clearing through or maintaining a custodial relationship with a Euroclear or Clearstream participant.

Ownership of the Notes through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream

We will issue each series of the Notes in the form of one or more fully registered global notes, registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. Financial institutions, acting as direct and indirect participants in DTC, will represent your beneficial interests in the Notes. These financial institutions will record the ownership and transfer of your beneficial interests through book-entry accounts. You may also hold your beneficial interests in the Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream, if you are a participant in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold their participants’ beneficial interests in the global notes in their customers’ securities accounts with their depositaries. These depositaries of Euroclear and Clearstream in turn will hold such interests in their customers’ securities accounts with DTC.

We and the fiscal agent generally will treat the registered holder of the Notes, initially Cede & Co., as the absolute owner of the Notes for all purposes. Once we and the fiscal agent make payments to the registered

 

S-124


Table of Contents

holder, we and the fiscal agent will no longer be liable on the Notes for the amounts so paid. Accordingly, if you own a beneficial interest in the global notes, you must rely on the procedures of the institutions through which you hold your interests in the Notes, including DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream and their respective participants, to exercise any of the rights granted to holders of the Notes. Under existing industry practice, if you desire to take any action that Cede & Co., as the holder of the global notes, is entitled to take, then Cede & Co. would authorize the DTC participant through which you own your beneficial interest to take such action. The participant would then either authorize you to take the action or act for you on your instructions.

DTC may grant proxies or authorize its participants, or persons holding beneficial interests in the Notes through such participants, to exercise any rights of a holder or take any actions that a holder is entitled to take under the fiscal agency agreement or the Notes. Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s ability to take actions as holder under the Notes or the fiscal agency agreement will be limited by the ability of their respective depositaries to carry out such actions for them through DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream will take such actions only in accordance with their respective rules and procedures.

Transfers Within and Between DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream

Trading Between DTC Purchasers and Sellers

DTC participants will transfer interests in the Notes among themselves in the ordinary way according to DTC rules. Participants will pay for such transfers by wire transfer. The laws of some states require certain purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to transfer beneficial interests in the global notes to such purchasers. DTC can act only on behalf of its direct participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect participants and certain banks. Thus, your ability to pledge a beneficial interest in the global notes to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, and to take other actions, may be limited because you will not possess a physical certificate that represents your interest.

Trading Between Euroclear and/or Clearstream Participants

Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will transfer interests in the Notes among themselves according to the rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.

Trading Between a DTC Seller and a Euroclear or Clearstream Purchaser

When the Notes are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant to the account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant, the purchaser must first send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream through a participant at least one business day prior to the settlement date. Euroclear or Clearstream will then instruct its depositary to receive the Notes and make payment for them. On the settlement date, the depositary will make payment to the DTC participant’s account, and the Notes will be credited to the depositary’s account. After settlement has been completed, DTC will credit the Notes to Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear or Clearstream will credit the Notes, in accordance with its usual procedures, to the participant’s account, and the participant will then credit the purchaser’s account. These securities credits will appear the next day (European time) after the settlement date. The cash debit from the account of Euroclear or Clearstream will be back-valued to the value date, which will be the preceding day if settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the cash debit will instead be valued at the actual settlement date.

Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will need to make funds available to Euroclear or Clearstream to pay for the Notes by wire transfer on the value date. The most direct way of doing this is to pre-position funds (i.e., have funds in place at Euroclear or Clearstream before the value date), either from cash on hand or existing lines of credit. Under this approach, however, participants may take on credit exposure to Euroclear and Clearstream until the Notes are credited to their accounts one day later.

As an alternative, if Euroclear or Clearstream has extended a line of credit to a participant, the participant may decide not to pre-position funds, but to allow Euroclear or Clearstream to draw on the line of credit to

 

S-125


Table of Contents

finance settlement for the Notes. Under this procedure, Euroclear or Clearstream would charge the participant overdraft charges for one day, assuming that the overdraft would be cleared when the Notes were credited to the participant’s account. However, interest on the Notes would accrue from the value date. Therefore, in many cases the interest income on the Notes which the participant earns during that one-day period will substantially reduce or offset the amount of the participant’s overdraft charges. Of course, this result will depend on the cost of funds (i.e., the interest rate that Euroclear or Clearstream charges) to each participant.

Since the settlement will occur during New York business hours, a DTC participant selling an interest in the Notes can use its usual procedures for transferring global securities to the depositories of Euroclear or Clearstream for the benefit of Euroclear or Clearstream participants. The DTC seller will receive the sale proceeds on the settlement date. Thus, to the DTC seller, a cross-market sale will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants.

Finally, day traders who use Euroclear or Clearstream and who purchase Notes from DTC participants for credit to Euroclear participants or Clearstream participants should note that these trades will automatically fail unless one of three steps is taken:

 

   

borrowing through Euroclear or Clearstream for one day, until the purchase side of the day trade is reflected in the day trader’s Euroclear or Clearstream account, in accordance with the clearing system’s customary procedures;

 

   

borrowing the Notes in the United States from DTC participants no later than one day prior to settlement, which would allow sufficient time for the Notes to be reflected in the Euroclear or Clearstream account in order to settle the sale side of the trade; or

 

   

staggering the value dates for the buy and sell sides of the trade so that the value date for the purchase from the DTC participant is at least one day prior to the value date for the sale to the Euroclear or Clearstream participant.

Trading Between a Euroclear or Clearstream Seller and a DTC Purchaser

Due to time-zone differences in their favor, Euroclear and Clearstream participants can use their usual procedures to transfer Notes through their depositaries to a DTC participant. The seller must first send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream through a participant at least one business day prior to the settlement date. Euroclear or Clearstream will then instruct its depositary to credit the Notes to the DTC participant’s account and receive payment. The payment will be credited in the account of the Euroclear or Clearstream participant on the following day, but the receipt of the cash proceeds will be back-valued to the value date, which will be the preceding day if settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the receipt of the cash proceeds will instead be valued at the actual settlement date.

If the Euroclear or Clearstream participant selling the Notes has a line of credit with Euroclear or Clearstream and elects to be in debit for the Notes until it receives the sale proceeds in its account, then the back-valuation may substantially reduce or offset any overdraft charges that the participant incurs over that period.

Settlement in other currencies between DTC and Euroclear and Clearstream is possible using free-of-payment transfers to move the Notes, but funds movement will take place separately.

TAXATION

Korean Taxation

For a discussion of certain Korean tax considerations that may be relevant to you if you invest in the Notes, see “Taxation—Korean Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus. The following are supplemental Korean tax considerations.

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 Notes, as long as such Notes are denominated in a currency other than Won, provided that the disposition does not involve a transfer of such Notes within Korea or the disposition does not involve a transfer of such Notes to 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 Notes to a Korean resident or a Korean corporation (or the Korean permanent establishment of a non-resident or a non-Korean corporation) and such disposition or sale is made within Korea, any gain realized on the transaction will be taxable at ordinary Korean withholding tax rates (the lesser of 22% 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 Notes, regardless of whether the disposition is to a Korean resident. For more information regarding tax treaties, please refer to the heading “Taxation—Korean Taxation—Tax Treaties” in the accompanying prospectus.

United States Tax Considerations

Stated interest on the Notes will be treated as qualified stated interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under certain circumstances as described under “Taxation—Korean Taxation” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, a U.S. holder may be subject to Korean withholding tax upon the sale or other disposition of Notes. A U.S. holder eligible for benefits of the Korea-U.S. tax treaty, which exempts capital gains from tax in Korea, would not be eligible to credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability any such Korean tax withheld. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisers with respect to their eligibility for benefits under the Korea-U.S. tax treaty and, in the case of U.S. holders that are not eligible for treaty benefits, their ability to credit any Korean tax withheld upon sale of the Notes against their U.S. federal income tax liability. For a discussion of additional U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you if you invest in the Notes and are a U.S. holder, see “Taxation—United States Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus.

KDB Asia Limited, one of the underwriters, is our affiliate and has agreed to offer and sell the Notes only outside the United States to non-U.S. persons.

Under the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, if the Underwriters take any Notes of a series, then the Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Notes of such series.

The Underwriters initially propose to offer the Notes directly to the public at the offering price described on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. After the initial offering of the Notes, the Underwriters may from time to time vary the offering price and other selling terms.

Each of the Fixed Rate Notes and the Floating Rate Notes are a new class of securities with no established trading market. Application will be made to the SGX-ST for the listing of the Notes on the SGX-ST. The Underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the Notes. However, they are not obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making activities with respect to the Notes at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of any trading market for the Notes.

We have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments which the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of any such liabilities.

The amount of net proceeds from our Floating Rate Notes is US$             after deducting underwriting discounts but not estimated expenses. Expenses associated with the Floating Rate Notes offering are estimated to be US$            . The Underwriters have agreed to pay certain of our expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Floating Rate Notes.

Table of Contents

The amount of net proceeds from our Fixed Rate Notes is US$             after deducting underwriting discounts but not estimated expenses. Expenses associated with the Fixed Rate Notes offering are estimated to be US$            . The Underwriters have agreed to pay certain of our expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Fixed Rate Notes.

The Underwriters and certain of their affiliates may have performed certain commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for us and/or our affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us and/or our affiliates in the ordinary course of their business.

The Underwriters or certain of their affiliates may purchase Notes and be allocated Notes for asset management and/or proprietary purposes but not with a view to distribution. The Underwriters or their respective affiliates may purchase Notes for its or their own account and enter into transactions, including credit derivatives, such as asset swaps, repackaging and credit default swaps relating to Notes and/or other securities of us or our subsidiaries or affiliates at the same time as the offer and sale of Notes or in secondary market transactions. Such transactions would be carried out as bilateral trades with selected counterparties and separately from any existing sale or resale of Notes to which this prospectus supplement relates (notwithstanding that such selected counterparties may also be purchasers of Notes).

Delivery of the Notes

We expect to make delivery of the Notes, against payment in same-day funds on or about January             , 2014, which we expect will be the fifth business day following the date of this prospectus supplement. Under Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, U.S. purchasers are generally required to settle trades in the secondary market in three business days, unless they and the other parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if you wish to trade in the Notes on the date of this prospectus supplement or the next succeeding business day, because the Notes will initially settle in T+5, you may be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of your trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers in other countries should consult with their own advisors.

Foreign Selling Restrictions

Each Underwriter has agreed, severally and not jointly, to the following selling restrictions in connection with the offering with respect to the following jurisdictions:

Korea

Each Underwriter has severally represented and agreed that (i) it has not offered, sold or delivered and will not offer, sell or deliver, directly or indirectly, any Notes in Korea, or to, or for the account or benefit of, any resident of Korea, except as otherwise permitted by applicable Korean laws and regulations, and (ii) any securities dealer to whom the Underwriters may sell the Notes will agree that it will not offer any Notes, directly or indirectly, in Korea, or to any resident of Korea, except as permitted by applicable Korean laws and regulations, or to any other dealer who does not so represent and agree.

(5) as specified in Regulation 32 of the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Shares and Debentures) Regulations 2005 of Singapore.

Australia

No prospectus or other disclosure document (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia) in relation to the offering of the Notes has been or will be lodged with or registered by Australian Securities and Investments Commission or the Australian Securities Exchange Limited. Each Underwriter has represented and agreed that it has not:

 

  (a) made or invited, and will not make or invite, an offer of the Notes for issue or sale in Australia (including an offer or invitation which is received by a person in Australia); and

 

  (b) distributed or published and will not distribute or publish any draft, preliminary or final form offering memorandum, advertisement or other offering material relating to the Notes in Australia,

unless:

 

  (i) the minimum aggregate consideration payable by each offeree is at least AUD 500,000 (or its equivalent in an alternate currency) (disregarding money lent by the Offeror or its associates) or the offer otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Part 7 of the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia; and

 

  (ii) such action complies with all applicable laws, directives and regulations and does not require any document to be lodged with, or registered by, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Each Underwriter has agreed that it will not sell the Notes in circumstances where employees of the Underwriter aware of, or involved in, the sale know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that the Notes, or an interest in or right in respect of the Notes, was being, or would later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by a resident of Australia, or a non-resident who is engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of that non-resident in Australia (the expressions “resident of Australia”, “non-resident” and “permanent establishment” having the meanings given to them by the Australian Tax Act).

Price Stabilization and Short Position

In connection with this offering, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Stabilizing Manager”) or any person acting for it, on behalf of the Underwriters, may purchase and sell the Notes in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, covering transactions, penalty bids and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves sales of the Notes in excess of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased by the Underwriters in this offering, which creates a short position for the Underwriters. Covering transactions involve purchases of the Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. A penalty bid occurs when a particular Underwriter repays to the Underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the Underwriters or the Stabilizing Manager has repurchased Notes sold by or for the account of such Underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of Notes in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes while the offering is in progress. Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes. They may also cause the price of the Notes to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The Stabilizing Manager may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the Stabilizing Manager commences any of these transactions, it may discontinue them at any time, and must discontinue them after a limited period.

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 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. 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 based on preliminary valuation of KDBFG shares as of December 31, 2009. In March 2010, the Government made a further capital contribution of ₩10.0 billion in cash to KDBFG. In July 2010, KDBFG’s valuation as of December 30, 2009 was finalized and the Government’s initial contribution was adjusted to reflect an increase in the value of the KDBFG shares. As KoFC’s authorized capital is ₩15,000.0 billion, KoFC is permitted to hold only that percentage of KDBFG shares of which the aggregate value (together with cash contributed by the Government) does not exceed ₩15,000.0 billion. Accordingly, as of the date of this prospectus, KoFC, which is wholly owned by the Government, owns 90.26% of KDBFG’s share capital and the Government directly owns 9.74% 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.

 

LOGO

 

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 an original maturity of one year or more at the time of issuance (“mid-to-long term foreign currency debt”) outstanding 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 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, 2012, we had ₩91,875.2 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 ₩142,997.6 billion and total equity of ₩18,218.6 billion, as compared to ₩81,380.7 billion of loans outstanding, ₩127,874.4 billion of total assets and ₩17,658.0 billion of total equity as of December 31, 2011. In 2012, we recorded interest income of ₩5,030.4 billion, interest expense of ₩3,284.2 billion and net income of ₩952.2 billion, as compared to ₩4,574.4 billion of interest income, ₩2,996.7 billion of interest expense and ₩1,412.4 billion of net income in 2011. 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

 

4


Table of Contents

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 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.

Table of Contents

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 November 18, 2010.

 

In January 2012, the Government took three Government-owned financial institutions (including us) off the list of public institutions to grant them more autonomy in such areas as budgeting and human resources and to facilitate their privatization. Although the Government has previously announced plans to privatize us, the specific timing and procedure for our privatization have not yet been announced. In April 2013, the Government launched a task force for considering and planning the reorganization of policy roles for Government-owned banks and financial corporations, such as Korea Finance Corporation, The Korea Development Bank, The Export-Import Bank of Korea, and the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation. The task force, composed of representatives from various government branches responsible for overseeing such Government-owned entities as well as members of the academia, is currently in the process of collecting views and considering various reorganization options with respect to policy financial functions. It was reported that the task force plans to announce a definitive roadmap by July 2013.

 

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 (subject to the approval of the Financial Services Commission).

 

Government Support and Supervision

 

The Government owns indirectly all of our paid-in capital. On February 20, 2000, the Government contributed ₩100 billion in cash to our capital. On December 29, 2000, we reduced our paid-in capital by ₩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 ₩3 trillion in the form of shares of common stock of KEPCO to our capital. On December 29, 2001, the Government contributed ₩50 billion in cash to our capital. On August 13, 2003, the Government contributed ₩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 ₩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 ₩500 billion in the form of shares of common stock of Korea Expressway Corporation to our capital and, in

Table of Contents

January 2009, the Government contributed ₩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 ₩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 equity (including paid-in capital) as described under the heading “Overview” and “Selected Financial Statement Data” in this prospectus. In March 2010, the Government, through KDBFG, made a further capital contribution of ₩10.0 billion in cash to our capital. Taking into account these capital contributions and reduction, as of December 31, 2012, our total paid-in capital was ₩9,251.9 billion. See “—Financial Statements and the Auditors—Notes to Separate Financial Statements of December 31, 2012 and 2011—Note 22.”

 

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 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;

 

   

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.

Table of Contents

Principal factors for the decrease in net income in 2012 compared to 2011 included:

 

   

a decrease in net gain from foreign currency transactions and derivatives to ₩109.4 billion in 2012 from ₩502.6 billion in 2011; the ₩502.6 billion of net gain from foreign currency transactions and derivatives in 2011 principally reflected a one-time valuation gain on Kumho Petrochemical convertible bonds, as embedded derivative instruments (such as conversion rights) were treated as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value under Korean IFRS, commencing in 2011 compared to no such gain in 2012; and

 

   

an increase in provision for loan losses to ₩455.4 billion in 2012 from ₩208.1 billion in 2011, primarily due to an increase in provision for loans to small-and-medium sized enterprises as a result of weak domestic economic conditions.

 

The above factors were partially offset by an increase in net interest income to ₩1,746.2 billion in 2012 from ₩1,577.7 billion in 2011, primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing assets exceeding an increase in interest-bearing liabilities.

 

2011

 

We had net income of ₩1,412.4 billion in 2011 compared to net income of ₩1,072.7 billion in 2010, on a separate K-IFRS basis.

 

Principal factors for the increase in net income in 2011 compared to 2010 included:

 

   

a decrease in provision for loan losses to ₩208.1 billion in 2011 from ₩966.0 billion in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in non-performing loans;

 

   

an increase in net gain from foreign currency transactions and derivatives to ₩502.6 billion in 2011 from ₩143.4 billion in 2010, primarily due to a valuation gain on Kumho Petrochemical convertible bonds; commencing in 2011, embedded derivative instruments (such as conversion rights) were treated as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value under Korean IFRS;

 

   

a decrease in impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries and associates to ₩3.9 billion in 2011 from ₩115.1 billion in 2010; the ₩115.1 billion of impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries and associates in 2010 reflected principally the impairment loss on investments in Banco KDB do Brasil S.A. (our Brazilian subsidiary); and

 

   

an increase in net fee and commission income to ₩541.7 billion in 2011 from ₩492.8 billion in 2010, primarily due to an increase in advisory and arrangement commissions.

 

The above factors were partially offset by a decrease in net gain from financial assets available-for-sale to ₩16.2 billion in 2011 from ₩1,045.7 billion in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in sales of available-for-sale securities.

 

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, 2012, we established provisions of ₩782.5 billion for possible loan losses, 9.6% lower than the provisions as of December 31, 2011 of ₩865.3 billion. The provisions for possible loan losses under Korean IFRS are recorded for those loans for which objective evidence of impairment exists as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition and, if our provision for possible loan losses is deemed insufficient for regulatory purposes, we compensate for the difference by recording a regulatory reserve for possible loan losses, which will be deducted from retained earnings. See Note 45 of the notes to our separate financial statements included in this prospectus.

Certain of our customers have restructured loans with their creditor banks. As of December 31, 2012, we have provided loans of ₩2,981.4 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 amount of ₩1,296.5 billion following debt-equity swaps. As of December 31, 2012, we had established provisions of ₩394.2 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.

As of December 31, 2012, our non-performing loans totaled ₩1,456.4 billion, representing 1.6% of our outstanding loans as of such date. Non-performing loans are defined as loans that are classified as substandard or below.

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 Tire Co., Inc., Daehan Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., Daewoo Songdo Development Co, Kumho Industrial and Shina SB Yard Co. As of December 31, 2012, our credit extended to these companies totaled ₩2,089.3 billion, accounting for 1.5% of our total assets as of such date.

 

As of December 31, 2012, our exposure (including loans classified as substandard or below and equity investment classified as estimated loss or below) to Kumho Tires increased to ₩1,174.5 billion from ₩1,088.2 billion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to extension of additional loans. As of December 31, 2012, our exposure to Daehan Shipbuilding was ₩195.7 billion, a decrease from ₩369.6 billion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to repayment of debt. As of December 31, 2012, our exposure to Daewoo Songdo Development decreased to ₩173.1 billion from ₩222.4 billion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to the write-off of certain of our exposure to Daewoo Songdo Development. As of December 31, 2012, our exposure to Kumho Industrial decreased to ₩151.8 billion from ₩289.2 billion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to repayment of debt.

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 debt-to-equity swaps and extensions of additional credit. In connection with these work-out plans, we provided emergency loans of ₩100.0 billion and ₩280.0 billion to Kumho Tires and Kumho Industrial, respectively. 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, which was later extended to December 31, 2012. These four companies are members of Kumho Asiana Group, which has been undergoing financial difficulties resulting from its heavily leveraged purchase of Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. (“Daewoo E&C”) in 2006. We, a main creditor of Kumho Asiana Group, acquired 50.75% of Daewoo E&C by participating in a ₩1,000.0 billion rights issue in December 2010 and by acquiring ₩2,178.5 billion of additional equity shares through our private equity arm in January 2011. In addition, in December 2011, we converted convertible bonds of Kumho Petrochemical Co., Ltd. into 14.1% of the latter’s equity shares. In March 2012, we increased our equity interest in Kumho Industrial from 5.99% to 6.34% by participating in a debt-to-equity swap, but our equity interest decreased to 5.44% following a capital contribution by the former controlling shareholders in June 2012.

 

As of December 31, 2012, our exposure to Kumho Tires, Kumho Industrial, Kumho Petrochemical and Asiana Airlines was ₩1,174.5 billion, ₩151.8 billion, ₩1,418.4 billion and ₩715.4 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, we established provisions of ₩46.3 billion, ₩1.8 billion, ₩1.2 billion and ₩0.8 billion for our exposure to Kumho Tires, Kumho Industrial, Kumho Petrochemical and Asiana Airlines, respectively.

 

In 2012, we did not sell any non-performing loans to the Korea Asset Management Corporation, or KAMCO.

 

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 2.3% over our prime rate, although we provide a discount between 0.2% and 0.7% 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 three to five years, although we occasionally make equipment capital loans with longer maturities. Working capital loans usually mature within two years.

Table of Contents

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.

 

The following table sets out, by currency and category of loan, our total outstanding loans:

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.

 

16


Table of Contents

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 and, working capital foreign currency loans, of up to three years.

 

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

 

   

water supply and drainage facilities;

 

   

the Seoul subway system;

 

   

freight terminal facilities;

 

   

hospitals; and

 

   

other facilities.

 

Government fund loans that are equipment capital loans require approval by the appropriate Government ministry. We currently make government fund loans in Won at floating interest rates with original maturities of 10 to 20 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).

 

For further information relating to such loans, see “—Sources of Funds” and “—Financial Statements and the Auditors—Notes to Separate Financial Statements of December 31, 2012 and 2011—Note 8.”

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:

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 ₩3.3 trillion, based on exchange rates prevailing on the guarantee issuance date, February 25, 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 90.3% of our paid-in capital, currently owns approximately 29.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of KEPCO, and the Government, which indirectly owns all of our paid-in capital, owns an additional 21.2% 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 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 Electronics Corp. and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. 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 ₩8,439.6 billion as of December 31, 2012 from ₩8,448.1 billion as of December 31, 2011.

Table of Contents

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, 2012, the cost basis of our equity investments subject to restriction under the KDB Act and our Articles of Incorporation totaled ₩8,439.6 billion, equal to 28.3% 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, 2012:

As of December 31, 2012, we held total equity investments, on a book value basis, of ₩2,343.4 billion in one of our five largest borrowers and ₩4,111.9 billion in five 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, 2012, the aggregate value of our equity investments accounted for approximately 106% of their aggregate cost basis.

 

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.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2012, we held in trust cash and other assets totaling ₩24,398.4 billion, and we generated in 2012 trust fee income equaling ₩506.9 billion. As of December 31, 2011, we held in trust cash and other assets totaling ₩21,396.6 billion, and we generated in 2011 trust fee income equaling ₩311.3 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 2011 and 2012, 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 financial institutions or foreign banks; 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.

 

The following table sets out our Government borrowings as of December 31, 2012:

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, 2012, 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, 2012) was ₩60,151.0 billion, equal to 13.5% of our authorized amount under the KDB Act, which was ₩446,796.7 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 one to five years. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding amount of our foreign currency borrowings was US$11.5 billion.

 

Our long term and short term foreign currency borrowings decreased to ₩12,341.3 billion as of December 31, 2012 from ₩13,895.9 billion as of December 31, 2011.

 

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, 2012, demand deposits held by us totaled ₩1,668.5 billion and time and savings deposits held by us totaled ₩36,208.0 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 Hae Jong Lim, who was appointed by the Financial Services Commission for a three-year term on April 11, 2011.

 

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 KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp., located at 10th Floor, Star Tower, 737 Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea, which has audited our separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in this prospectus. Ernst & Young Han Young, located at Taeyoung Bldg., #10-2, Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, Korea, has audited our separate and consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in this prospectus.

 

Our separate financial statements appearing in this prospectus were prepared in conformity with Korean IFRS, as summarized in “—Financial Statements and the Auditors—Notes to Separate Financial Statements of

 

28


Table of Contents

December 31, 2012 and 2011—Note 2.” These principles and procedures differ in certain material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Our non-consolidated financial statements included in our previous prospectuses filed with the SEC were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Korea (“Korean GAAP”). Beginning in 2011, companies in Korea, including us, are generally required to prepare their interim and annual financial statements under Korean IFRS. Korean IFRS differs in significant respects from Korean GAAP, particularly with respect to accounting for loan loss allowances and provisions. As a result, our levels of loan loss allowances and provisions, as well as certain other statements of financial position and income statement items, reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS may differ substantially from those reflected under Korean GAAP.

 

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 statements of financial position 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 Shareholders

Korea Development Bank:

 

We have audited the accompanying separate statement of financial position of Korea Development Bank (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2012 and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these separate financial statements based on our audit. The accompanying separate statement of financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2011, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, were audited by other auditors, whose report thereon dated March 29, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion.

 

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 separate financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the separate financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the separate financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2012 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following:

 

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such separate financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report is for use by those knowledgeable about Korean auditing standards and their application in practice.

This report is effective as of March 12, 2013, the audit report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the audit report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying separate financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the audit report should understand that the above audit report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

(3) Foreign currency

 

(i) Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Bank entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

 

Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or in a qualifying cash flow hedge, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

 

(ii) Foreign operations

 

If the presentation currency of the Bank is different from a foreign operation’s functional currency, the financial statements of the foreign operation are translated into the presentation currency using the following methods:

 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to presentation currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to functional currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation is treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus they are expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

 

When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount in the translation is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. In any other partial disposal of a foreign operation, the relevant proportion is reclassified to profit or loss.

 

(iii) Foreign exchange of net investment in foreign operations

 

Foreign exchange gain or loss arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other

For the year ended December 31, 2012

 

comprehensive income in the translation reserve. Any foreign exchange differences which have been incurred from these monetary assets and liabilities are presented in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to the net income when they are sold.

 

(4) Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than three months’ maturity from the date of acquisition, including cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

(5) Non-derivative financial assets

 

The Bank recognizes and measures non-derivative financial assets by the following four categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The Bank recognizes financial assets in the statement of financial position when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Upon initial recognition, non-derivative financial assets are measured at their fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset’s acquisition or issuance.

 

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

 

A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) are measured at fair value upon initial recognition and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

(ii) Held-to-maturity financial assets

 

If the non-derivative assets have a fixed maturity with fixed or determinable payments, and the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold them until maturity, then such financial assets are classified as held to maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held to maturity financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

(iii) Loans and receivables

 

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest income on financial investments is recognized using the effective interest rate (“EIR”), except short-term receivables, which is not significantly relevant from the EIR method.

 

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

 

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity investments or loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, which changes in fair

value, net of any tax effect, recorded in other comprehensive income in equity. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are measured at cost. Accumulated other comprehensive income previously recognized in equity is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the investment is disposed of or impairment loss for the investment is recognized. Dividends earned whilst holding financial investments available-for-sale are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the right to receive the payment has been established.

 

(v) De-recognition of financial assets

 

The Bank de-recognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Bank is recognized as an asset or liability.

 

If the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred financial assets, the Bank continues to recognize the transferred financial assets and recognizes financial liabilities for the consideration received.

 

(vi) Offsetting between financial assets and financial liabilities

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position only when the Bank currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is the intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

(6) Impairment of financial assets

 

A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. However, loss expected as a result of future events, regardless of likelihood, are not recognized.

 

If there is objective evidence for impairment, impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.

 

(i) Impairment of loans and receivables

 

The Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a loan is impaired. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the loans’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, which is discounted using the initial effective interest rate (“EIR”). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

The Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists for individual loan that is significant (“individual assessment”). If the Bank determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for

 

40

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012

 

an individually assessed loan, the Bank includes the loan in a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment (“collective assessment”).

 

When an individual loan is impaired, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (including estimated future cash flows from its collateral). In collective assessments, the amount of loss is statistically evaluated using the Bank’s historical loss data.

 

The present value of estimated future cash flows is measured using the loan’s initial EIR. If the loan has a floating interest rate, the Bank uses the current EIR for the measurement. Future cash flows from collateral are estimated at net cash flow from disposal of collateral (deducting transaction cost).

 

For the purpose of a collective assessment of impairment, loans are analyzed on the basis of the Bank’s internal credit rating system that considers credit risk characteristics such as asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors.

 

Future cash flows of the loans collectively assessed are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for loans with similar credit risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that no longer exists. Estimates of changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with, changes in related observable data from year to year (such as changes in unemployment rates, property prices, commodity prices, payment status, or other factors that are indicative of incurred loss in the Bank and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

 

(ii) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets

 

The Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that an investment is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost (or amortized cost for debt instrument) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss.

 

When there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its original cost, there is objective evidence that available-for-sale equity investments are impaired. The Bank considers a decline in the fair value of more than 30% and 50% against the original cost for marketable and non-marketable equity securities, respectively, as “significant decline”. When market price declines for marketable equity securities of less than 30% against the original cost and for a period of six consecutive months is considered to be a “prolonged decline”.

 

Since the year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank changed the accounting estimation for the non-marketable equity securities from decline in the fair value of more than 50% to 30% as “significant decline” and a “prolonged decline” was changed into the status when the market price for marketable equity against the original cost the carrying amounts of instruments for a six consecutive months. The change is reasonably accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate which is influenced by the fact that domestic stock market is less volatile than before. The Bank recognized additional impairment loss of ₩22,510 million resulted from the change in an accounting estimate.

Impairment loss on equity securities are not reversed through profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. Moreover, the impairment loss is directly reduced from the carrying amount of the financial assets available-for- sale.

 

(iii) Impairment of held-to-maturity financial assets

 

The Bank assesses individually at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a held to maturity financial asset is impaired. If any such evidence exists, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, which is discounted using the initial EIR. The amount of loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a financial assets held to maturity increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. Moreover, the impairment loss is directly reduced from the carrying amount of the financial assets held to maturity.

 

(iv) Loss events of financial assets

 

Objective evidences that a financial asset is impaired include the following loss events:

 

   

Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor

 

   

A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments

 

   

The lender, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider

 

   

It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization

 

   

The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties

 

   

Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group

 

(7) Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting

 

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Bank formally documents the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including the nature of the risk, the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge and the method that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are either recognized in profit or loss or, when the derivatives are designated in a hedging relationship and the hedge is determined to be an effective hedge, other comprehensive income.

 

(i) Hedge accounting

 

Derivative instruments are accounted differently depending on whether hedge accounting is applied, and therefore, are classified into trading purpose derivatives and hedging purpose derivatives. A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or firm commitment, that is attributable to a

 

42


Table of Contents

Korea Development Bank

 

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012

 

particular risk and could affect profit or loss. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that (i) is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction and (ii) could affect profit or loss. For trading purpose derivatives transaction, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in net income.

 

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Bank formally documents the relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including the nature of the risk, the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge and the method that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. Also, at the inception of the hedge relationship, a formal assessment is undertaken to ensure the hedging instrument is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the designated risk in the hedged item and actual result was so.

 

Fair value hedge

 

For designated and qualifying fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of a hedging derivative is recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. Meanwhile, the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognized in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. When the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is terminated. For hedged item recorded at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying value of the hedged item on termination and the face value is amortized over the remaining term of the original hedge using the EIR.

 

Cash flow hedge

 

For designated and qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of gain or loss on the hedging instruments is initially recognized directly in equity. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. When the hedged cash flow affects the profit or loss in statement of comprehensive income, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recorded in the corresponding income or expense line in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. When a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the hedged forecasted transaction is ultimately recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain and loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

(ii) Embedded derivative instruments

 

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not itself held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. Unless the Bank aggregately designates the host contract and embedded derivative as financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives separated from the host contract are carried at fair value and changes in their fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

 

(iii) Other derivative financial instruments

 

Changes in the fair value of other derivative financial instrument not designated as a hedging instrument are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(8) Fair value of financial instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets is determined by referencing quoted market prices at each reporting date. For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation methods.

 

The Bank’s policies for measuring fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

 

   

Loans: The fair value of loans is estimated future cash flows reflecting premature redemption ratio, using the market discounted interest rate, which is adjusted by credit spread considering the probability of default. For the loans with credit line facilities, short-term loans with three-month maturity or less, and impaired loans, the Bank regards their carrying amount as fair value.

 

   

Held-to-maturity financial assets: The Bank uses the fair value measured by appraisal agencies for financial assets held to maturity.

 

   

Deposits: The fair value of deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow method. However, for deposits, whose cash flows cannot be estimated reasonably, the Bank considered their carrying amount as fair value.

 

   

Borrowings: For borrowings that have a short term maturity (less than three months) and borrowings with floating rate readjustment period of less than three months, it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate to their fair value. The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing borrowings is based on and discounted cash flows using prevailing money-market interest rates for debts with similar credit risk and maturity.

 

   

Bonds: The fair values of bonds issued are determined based on quoted market prices. For those bonds issued where quoted market prices are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on a current interest rate yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity and credit spreads.

 

   

The Bank defines quoted market prices in active markets into Level 1, the fair value determined using appropriate valuation techniques with observable market data into Level 2 and the fair value Determined using valuation techniques with unobservable market data into Level 3.

 

(9) Day one profit or loss recognition

 

In cases where fair value is determined using data, which is not observable in the market, the difference between the transaction price and initial value is amortized in the statement of comprehensive income by using straight line method over time on an appropriate basis.

 

(10) Property and equipment

 

The Bank’s property and equipment is recognized at the carrying amount as costs less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value. Costs include the expenditures directly related to cost of acquisition.

 

Subsequent costs are recognized in the asset’s carrying amount at cost or, if appropriated as separate items if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenances are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Type

   Useful lives (years)

Buildings

   20 ~ 50

Structure

   10 ~ 40

Leasehold improvements

   4

Movable property

   4

 

Property and equipment is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The Bank assesses residual value and economic life of its assets at each reporting date and makes adjustments to its useful life when necessary. Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognized in non-operating income (expense) in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

(11) Investment property

 

The Bank classifies property held for the purpose of rental income or benefiting from capital appreciation as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the cost model is applied. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period of de-recognition. Reclassification to other account is made if there is a change in use of corresponding investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, an item of investment property is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

 

Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period of de-recognition. Reclassification to other account is made if there is a change in use of corresponding investment properties.

 

Depreciation of investment property is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Type

   Useful lives (years)  

Buildings

     20 ~ 50   

Structure

     10 ~ 40   

 

(12) Intangible assets

 

An intangible asset is recognized only when its cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to it will flow to the Bank. If the intangible assets are acquired separately, they are initially recognized as acquisition cost and subsequently recognized as cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life using straight line method over 4 to 30 years. The Bank reviews intangible assets for impairment annually if events or changes in

 

45


Table of Contents

Korea Development Bank

 

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012

 

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are de-recognized when it has been disposed of or when no future economic benefit is expected from disposal or usage.

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

 

(13) Impairment of non-financial assets

 

The Bank tests annually whether the non-financial assets suffered any impairment. Assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

 

Except for impairment losses in respect of goodwill which are never reversed, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

(14) Non-derivative financial liabilities

 

The Bank classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liabilities. The Bank recognizes financial liabilities in the statement of financial position when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial liability.

 

(i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the current year include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities and derivatives are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Derivative financial instruments presented in the statement of financial position include derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships. The Bank’s management may only designate a financial liability designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when a judgment is made that such classification provides more useful information. Gain or loss from financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are credited or charged to current operation results.

 

(ii) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

 

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the other financial liabilities using the EIR.

 

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

For the year ended December 31, 2012

 

(iii) De-recognition of financial liabilities

 

A financial liability is de-recognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.

 

(15) Employee benefits

 

(i) Short-term employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to the Bank during an accounting period, the Bank recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

 

(ii) Retirement benefits: defined benefit plans

 

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect to the defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the date of the statement of financial position less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity similar to the terms of the related pension liability.

 

Actuarial gains and losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and actual results are recognized as income or expense in the current year.

 

(16) Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation 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 of the amount of the obligation.

 

(17) Financial guarantees

 

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees are initially recognized in the financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Bank’s liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of:

 

   

The amount determined in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1037 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and

 

   

The initial amount less amortization of fees recognized in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1018 Revenue.

(18) Securities under resale or repurchase agreements

 

Securities purchased or sold under agreements to resell or repurchase are recorded as loans and receivables or borrowings, and the related interest from those securities is recorded as interest income or expense, respectively.

 

(19) Interest income and expense

 

Interest income and expense are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

 

When calculating the effective interest rate, the Bank estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not future credit loss. The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all fees and points paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or liability.

 

Once an impairment loss has been recognized on a loan, although the accrual of interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the instrument is discontinued, interest income is recognized on the rate of interest that was used to discount future cash flow for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.

 

(20) Fees and commission income

 

Fees and commission income and expense are classified as follows according to related regulations:

 

(i) Fees and commission from financial instruments

 

Fees and commission income and expense that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate. It includes those related to evaluation of the borrowers’ financial status, guarantee, collateral, other agreements and related evaluation as well as business transaction, rewards for activities, such as document preparation and recording and setup fees incurred during issuance of financial liabilities. When financial instruments are classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, fees and commission are recognized as revenue upon initial recognition.

 

(ii) Fees and commission from services

 

Fees and commission income charged in exchange for services to be performed during a certain period of time such as asset management fees, consignment fees and assurance service fees are recognized as the related services are performed. When a loan commitment is not expected to result in the draw-down of a loan and K-IFRS No. 1039 Financial Instrument: Recognition and Measurement, is not applied for the commitment, the related loan commitment fees are recognized over the commitment period.

 

(iii) Fees and commission from significant transaction

 

Fees and commission from significant transactions, such as trading stocks and other securities, negotiation and mediation activities for third parties, for instance business transfer and takeover, are recognized when transactions are completed.

(21) Dividend income

 

Dividend income is recognized when the Bank’s right to receive the payment is established.

 

(22) Income tax expense

 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

 

The Company and its two subsidiaries file consolidated tax returns and are considered as one tax-paying entity pursuant to related regulations. Therefore, the Company files its national income tax return with the Korean tax authorities under the consolidated corporate tax system, which allows it to make income tax payments based on the combined profits or loss of the Company and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the future tax benefits expected to be realized in consideration of the expected combined profits or loss of eligible companies in accordance with the consolidated corporate tax system. Consolidated corporate tax amounts, once determined, are allocated to each of the subsidiaries and are used as a basis for the income tax to be recorded in their respective financial statements.

 

The Bank recognizes deferred income tax liabilities for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Bank is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Bank recognizes deferred income tax assets for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Bank expects, at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

 

The carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the related current income tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income tax levied by the same tax authority and they intend to settle current income tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.

 

Additional income taxes arising from dividend payments are recognized when expenses related to dividend payments are recognized.

 

(23) Accounting for trust accounts

 

Assets held in an agency or trust management capacities are not included in the separate financial statement in accordance with the Capital Market and Financial Investment Business Act, as they are not owned by the Bank. The Bank recognizes trust fees earned from the trust accounts as income from trust operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2012

 

When a loss is incurred arising from trust accounts where the Bank provided a guarantee of principal or principal and interest repayment, the loss is recognized as a loss from trust operations.

 

(24) Regulatory reserve for loan loss

 

In the case that the total sum of allowance for possible loan loss does not meet the amount prescribed in the Regulations on supervision of Banking Business, Regulations on Supervision of Credit Finance Service, and Regulations on Financial Investment Business, the Bank is to record the difference, if any, at the reporting date as a regulatory reserve for possible loan loss.

 

In the case that the amount of existing regulatory reserve for loan loss is greater than the amount needed to be set aside as at the reporting date, the difference, if any, shall be reversed, and when the undisposed deficit exist, the regulatory reserve for loan loss can be laid aside from the time when the undisposed deficit are disposed.

 

The transferred (reversed) amount of regulatory reserve for loan loss during the settlement year, net income after subtracting (adding) the transferred (reversed) amount of reserve for loan loss and earnings per share are disclosed in the Notes.

 

(25) Earnings per share

 

The Bank represents its diluted and basic earnings per ordinary share in separate comprehensive statement of income. Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the period attributable to ordinary share holders of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by adjusting net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Bank for basic earnings considered potential ordinary shares with dilution effect and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

 

(26) Changes in accounting policies

 

(i) Disclosure of financial instrument

 

As the Bank adopted amendments to K-IFRS No. 1107 Financial Instrument: Disclosure as of January 1, 2012, it is required to disclose the description of the nature of the transferred assets, nature of risk and rewards for transfers of financial assets. Any gain or loss from the entity’s continuing involvement in the derecognized financial assets requires additional disclosures.

 

(27) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

 

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the Bank for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2012, and the Bank has not early adopted them.

 

(i) Amendments to K-IFRS No. 1019 Employee Benefits

9. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Bank’s derivative financial instruments consist of trading derivatives and hedging derivatives, depending on the nature of each transaction. The Bank enters into hedging derivative transactions mainly for the purpose of hedging fair value risks related to changes in fair values of the underlying assets and liabilities.

 

The Bank enters into trading derivative transactions such as futures, forwards, swaps and options for arbitrage transactions by speculating on the future value of the underlying assets. Derivatives held-for trading transactions include contracts with the Bank’s clients and its liquidation position.

 

For the purpose of hedging the exposure to the variability of fair values of funds in Korean won by changes in interest rate, the Bank mainly uses interest swaps or currency swaps. The main counterparties are foreign financial institutions and local banks. In addition, to hedge the exposure to the variability of fair values of bonds in foreign currency by changing in interest rate or foreign exchange rate, the Bank mainly uses interest swaps or currency swaps.

 

The notional amounts outstanding for derivatives contracts and the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

The group is operating “Screening and approval standards” for each retail financing products adaptive to system and supporting analytic evaluation thorough “Retail financing Data Mart”. The infrastructure such as accumulation or related data is under construction for developing personal credit rating model.

 

   

To supplement the limit of a evaluation process with computerized system, the group adopted ‘underwriter’ which compensate the evaluation system in sophisticated level.

 

(vi) Risk management reporting and measuring system

 

The Bank tries consistently to measure and manage objectively and rationally all of significant risk types with reference to the characteristics of operational areas, assets, and risks. In relation to reporting and measurement, the Bank has developed the application systems which are listed as follows:

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012

 

In conformity with the implementation roadmap of Basel II, the Bank obtained the approval to use the Foundation Internal Rating-Based Approach in the credit risk from the FSS in July 2008 and has applied the approach since June 2008. The Bank has applied Standardized Approach in the market risk and operational risk.

 

The Bank plans to adopt the Advanced Approaches (Credit risk: Advanced Internal Rating-Based Approach, Operational risk: Advanced Measurement Approach etc) to enhance reliability and financial soundness for the future. In preparing the adoption, the Bank also plans to improve the related systems and policies. Regulations in the Basel 3 which was announced in December 2010, we will be in preparation for the introduction of domestic, conducted from January 2013 project “Development of risk management system Basel 3”.

 

(viii) Internal capital adequacy assessment process

 

Internal capital adequacy assessment process is defined as the process that the Bank aggregates significant risks, calculates its internal capital, compares the internal capital with the available capital and assesses its internal capital adequacy.

 

   

Internal capital adequacy assessment

 

For the purpose of the internal capital adequacy assessment, the Bank calculates its aggregated internal capital and available capital by evaluating all significant risks and taking into account the quality and components of capital and then assesses the internal capital adequacy by comparing the aggregated internal capital with the available capital.

 

   

Composition of internal capital

 

Internal capital is composed of quantifiable and non- quantifiable risks. The quantifiable risk is composed of credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, operational risk and credit concentration risk. The quantifiable risk is measured quantitatively by applying reasonable methodology using objective data. Non-quantifiable risk is comprised of strategy risk, reputation risk, residual risk on asset securitization and others. Non-quantifiable risks not measured quantitatively because appropriate measuring methodology and related data do not exist to rate its risk level.

 

   

Goal setting in the internal capital management

 

The Bank sets up on an annual basis, a basic plan of risk management for the maintenance of the internal capital adequacy within the limits of available capital. The Risk Management Committee deliberates on the plan and the board of directors approves the plan. The Bank sets up the goal of the BIS capital adequacy ratio in consideration of the risk appetite, prior year’s internal capital, financial environment, operation’s direction and scale.

 

   

Allocation of internal capital

 

The Bank’s entire internal capital is allocated to each headquarter and department reflecting the amount of the available risk and the business scale after the Risk Management Committee’s deliberation and the board of directors’ approval. The allocated internal capital is monitored regularly and managed using various management methods. The results of monitoring and managing the allocated internal capital are reported to the Risk Management Committee and others. In case of any material changes in the Bank’s business plan or risk operation strategy, the Bank adjusts the allocation.

(2) Credit Risk

 

(i) Concept

 

Credit risk is defined as potential losses resulting from counterparty’s default or refusal to perform obligations.

 

(ii) Approach to credit risk management

 

Summary of credit risk management

 

The Bank regards credit risk as the most important risk area in its business operations, and accordingly, closely monitors its credit risk exposure. The Bank manages both credit risk at portfolio level and at individual credit level. At portfolio level, the Bank reduces credit concentration and restructures the portfolio in such a way to maximize profitability considering the risk level. To avoid credit concentration on a particular sector, the Bank manages credit limits by client, group, and industry. The Bank also resets exposure management directives for each industry by conducting an industry credit evaluation twice a year.

 

At the individual credit level, relationship manager (“RM”), credit officer (“CO”) and the Credit Review Committee manage each borrower’s credit risk.

 

Post management and insolvent borrower management

 

The Bank consistently monitors the borrower’s credit rating from the date of the loan to the date of final collection of debt and inspects the borrower’s status regularly and frequently in order to prevent bad debts generated from newer accounts and to stabilize the number of debt recoveries.

 

In addition, the early warning system is operated timely to find out borrowers that are likely to be highly insolvent. Early warning system provides financial information, financial transaction information, public information and market information of the borrower. Using the information, the relationship officer and the credit officer consistently watch out for the changes in the borrower’s credit rating.

 

Under the early warning system, the borrower that is highly likely to be insolvent is classified as early warning borrower or precautionary borrower. The Bank sets up a specific and practical stabilization plan on the borrower considering the borrower’s characteristics and constantly manages whether the borrower complies with the plan. The borrower classified as substandard borrower doubtful borrower or estimated loss is managed by the Bank’s department which is exclusively responsible for insolvent borrowers. The department takes legal proceedings, disposals or corporate turnaround with the borrower.

 

Classification of asset soundness and allowance for bad debts provision

 

Classification of asset soundness is fulfilled by the analysis and assessment of credit risk. The classification is used in order to prevent further occurrence of insolvent asset and promote the normalization of existing insolvent asset and enhance the stabilization of operational asset.

 

Based on the Regulation on Supervision of Banking Business, the Bank established guidelines on classification of asset soundness according to Forward Looking Criteria (“FLC”) by which asset soundness is classified reflecting not only the past record of repayment but debt repayment capacity.

(iii) Measurement methodology of credit risk

 

Pursuant to Basel II, the Bank selects the measurement methodology of credit risk considering the difficulty of measurement, measurement factors, estimating methods and others. Measurement approaches are divided into Standardized Approach and Internal Rating-Based Approach.

 

Standardized Approach (“SA”)

 

In the case of the Standardized Approach, the risk weights are applied according to the credit rating assessed by External Credit Assessment Institution (“ECAI”). Risk weights in each credit rating are as follows:

 

Credit rating(*)

       Corporate           Country           Bank      

    Asset securitization    

AAA ~ AA-

   20.00%   0.00%   20.00%   20.00%

A+ ~ A-

   50.00%   20.00%   50.00%   50.00%

BBB+ ~ BBB-

   100.00%   50.00%   100.00%   100.00%

BB+ ~ BB-

   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%   350.00%

B+ ~ B-

   150.00%   100.00%   100.00%   Deducted from Equity (1,250%)

Below B-

   150.00%   150.00%   150.00%  

Unrated

   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%  

 

(*) Credit rating is referenced that of global credit rating agencies such as S&P or Moody’s The OECD, S&P, Moody’s and Fitch are designated as foreign ECAI and Korea Investors Service Co., Ltd., NICE Investors Services Co., Ltd. and the Korea Ratings Co., Ltd. are designated as domestic ECAI.

 

The Bank assesses the credit rating based on the same borrower’s unsecured and senior loans. In the case where the borrower’s risk weight is higher than the unrated exposure’s risk weight (100%), the higher weight is applied. In the case where the borrower has more than one rating, the higher weight of the two lowest weights (second best criteria) is applied.

 

Internal Rating-Based Approach (“IRB”)

 

The Bank should be approved by the FSS and also should meet the requirement pre-set by the FSS to use the Internal Rating-Based Approach.

 

In July 2008, the Bank was approved by the FSS to use the Foundation Internal Rating-Based Approach. The Bank has calculated credit risk weighted asset using the approach since July 2008.

 

Measurement method of credit risk weighted asset

 

The Bank has calculated credit risk weighted asset of corporate exposures and asset securitization exposures using the Foundation Internal Rating-Based Approach as of December 31, 2012.

 

The Standardized Approach is permanently applied to country exposures, public institution exposures and bank exposures according to the interpretation of the FSS and the Standardized Approach is applied to overseas subsidiary and the Bank’s branch pursuant to the prior consultation with the FSS.

For the phased exposures, Standard Approach is applied to special finance, non-residents, non-banking financial institutions, and Internal Rating-Based Approach will be applied for these exposures in the future.

 

<Approved measurement method>

   SA(*2)   

—Overseas subsidiaries and branches, and other assets

Foundation Internal
Rating-Based Approach

  

—Corporate and small and medium enterprises and asset securitization (at each credit level)

Phased Application

  

—Special lending, non-residence, non-bank financial institution

 

(*1) Pursuant to the interpretation of the FSS, the Standardized Approach is applied to the exposures of governments and banks including public institutions.
(*2) The Standardized Approach is applied in the case where the credit risk weighted assets of a specific business segment is less than 15% of the entire credit risk weighted assets with the consultation of the FSS.

 

The mitigated effect of credit risk reflects the related policies which considers eligible collateral and guarantees. The Bank calculates the credit risk-weighted assets using the capital adequacy ratio.

 

When calculating credit risk-weighted assets for derivatives, the Bank calculates exposure considering a legally enforceable right to set off the exposures.

 

Exposures at default by the asset type as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

Credit rating model

 

The results of credit rating are presented as grades through an assessment of the debt repayment capacity that the principal and interest of debt securities or loans are redeemed while complying with contractual redemption schedule.

 

Using the Bank’s internal credit rating model, the Bank classifies debtors’ credit rating into 10 grades (AAA~D). Plus sign (+) and minus sign (-) are attached to the grades (AA~B) to distinguish the difference between credits in the identical grade. As a result, the Bank’s credit rating model uses 20 grades.

 

The Bank’s regular credit rating process is carried out once a year and in the case of the change of debtor’s credit condition, the credit rating is frequently adjusted as necessary to retain the adequacy of credit rating.

 

The results of credit rating is applied to various areas such as discrimination of loan processes, loan limit, loan interest rate, post loan management standard process, credit risk measurement, and allowance for bad debts assessment.

 

Credit process control structure

 

According to the Principle of Checks and Balances the Bank has established the credit process control structure by which the credit rating system operates appropriately.

 

   

Independent assessment of credit rating: The Bank’s business segment (RM) and credit rating assessment segment (CO) are independently operated

 

   

Independent control of credit rating system: The control of credit rating system including the development of credit rating model is independently implemented by the Bank’s risk management department.

 

   

Independent verification of credit rating system: Credit rating system is independently verified by the validation team of the Risk Management Department.

 

   

Internal audit of credit rating process: Credit rating process is audited by the Bank’s internal audit department.

Role of the Board of Directors and the Bank’s management: Major issues relating to credit process are approved by the Board of Directors and are regularly monitored by the Bank’s top management.

 

The Bank reviews debt serviceability based on a credit analysis when handling loans. Depending on the results, credit loan preservation is adjusted as necessary using such methods as interest rate preservation due to credit risk.

 

The Bank evaluates the value of the collateral, performing ability and legal validity of the guarantee at the initial acquisition. The Bank re-evaluates the provided collateral and guarantees regularly for them to be reasonably preserved.

 

For guarantees, the Bank demands a corresponding written guarantee according to loan handling standards and the guarantor’s credit rating is independently calculated when in conformance with the credit rating endowment method

(3) Capital management activities

 

(i) Capital adequacy

 

The FSS approved the Bank’s use of the Foundation Internal Rating-Based Approach in July 2008. The Company has been using the same approach when calculating credit risk weighted assets since the end of June, 2008. The equity capital ratio and equity capital according to the standards of the Bank for International Settlements are calculated for the purpose of such disclosure. The equity capital ratio and equity capital are calculated on a consolidated basis.

(4) Market risk

 

(i) Concept

 

Market risk is defined as the possibility of potential loss on a trading position resulting from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and the price of stocks and derivatives. Trading position is exposed to the risk, such as interest rates, equity prices, and foreign exchange rates, etc. And non-trading position is mostly exposed to interest rates. Accordingly, the Bank classifies market risk into either trading or non-trading position.

 

(ii) Market risk management of trading positions

 

Measurement method on market risk arising from trading position

 

Trading position includes securities, foreign exchange position, and derivatives which are traded for short-term profits. Market risk is managed using VaR limit and loss limit. VaR limit is calculated in the view of entire bank and the calculated VaR limit is distributed into each department and each type (price of a stock, interest rates, foreign exchange rates and option). The trading department regulates and operates terms of stop loss and investment limits.

 

Using the Standardized Approach and internal model of VaR, the Bank’s VaR is measured daily and the measured VaR is used at risk monitoring and limit management. In the estimation of VaR, the historical simulation and two other supplemental procedures are used: variance-covariance matrix and Monte Carlo simulation. Through the stress test and back test, the estimation of VaR is validated daily.

 

In estimating of market risk, the Standardized Approach and the internal model are used. The Standardized Approach is used in order to calculate the required capital from market risk and the internal model is used in order to manage risks internally.

 

Since July 2007 the Bank has measured one-day 99% VaR through the historical simulation method using the time series data of past 250 days under 99% confidence level. The calculated VaR is monitored on a daily basis.

 

In the implementation of the stress test, the Bank applied three scenarios based on the fluctuation of market index occurred at the time of the historical event that resulted in the significant shock. The stress test is implemented by the system daily in order to provide for crisis occurrence. Furthermore, the Bank is conducting a contingency plan for market risk management. The plan distinguishes the crisis condition into three stages—precautious stage, precrisis stage and crisis stage—through the measurement of the market volatility.

 

For the validation of the market risk measurement methodology, the Bank daily implements the back testing that compares the simulated loss, the actual loss and the previous day’s VaR. In addition, the Bank enforces the market risk management relating to irregular compound derivatives through the validation of the derivative pricing model developed by the Bank’s Front Office.

(iii) Market risk management of non-trading positions

 

Measurement method on market risk arising from non-trading position

 

The most critical market risk that arises in non-trading position is the interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the likely loss resulting from the unfavorable fluctuation of interest rate in the Bank’s financial condition and is measured by interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR.

 

Interest rate VaR is the maximum amount of a decrease in net asset value resulting from the unfavorable fluctuation of interest rate. Interest rate EaR is the maximum amount of decrease in net interest income resulting from the unfavorable fluctuation of interest rate for a year.

 

The Bank’s interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR are measured through the simulation of conclusive interest rate scenario with the Oracle Financial Services Application (OFSA) and are reported on a monthly basis to the Risk Management Committee. The Management’s target of interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR are approved at the beginning of the year. Additionally, the interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR on a consolidated basis are calculated using standard methodology provided by Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in order to retain the consistency in the methods used by the Bank and its subsidiaries.

(5) Liquidity risk management

 

(i) Concept

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the possibility of potential loss due to a temporary shortage in funds caused by a maturity mismatch or an unexpected capital outlay. Liquidity risk soars when funding rates rise, assets are sold below a normal price, or a good investment opportunity is missed.

 

(ii) Approach to liquidity risk management

 

Since the methodology to quantifiably measure liquidity risk does not formally exist, the Bank manages its liquidity risks as follows:

 

Allowable limit for liquidity risk

 

   

The allowable limit for liquidity risk sets liquidity ratio and remaining maturity gap

 

   

The management standards with regards to the allowable limit for liquidity risk should be set using separate and stringent set ratios in accordance with the FSS guidelines.

 

<Measurement Methodology>

 

   

Liquidity ratio : (Maturing liquidity asset in the interval / Maturing liquidity liability in the interval) X 100

 

   

Remaining maturity gap : (Maturing liquidity asset in the interval—Maturing liquidity liability in the interval) / total assets X 100

 

Early Warning Indicator

 

In order to identify prematurely and cope with worsening liquidity risk trends, the Bank has set up 13 indexes such as the “Foreign Exchange Stabilization Bond CDS Premium,” and measures the trend monthly, weekly and daily as a means for establishing the allowable liquidity risk limit complementary measures.

 

Stress-Test analysis and contingency plan

 

The Bank evaluates the effects on the liquidity risk and identifies the inherent flaws. In the case where an unpredictable and significant liquidity crisis occurs, the Bank executes risk situation analysis quarterly based on crises specific to the Bank, market risk, and complex emergency, and reports to the Risk Management Committee for the purpose of the Bank’s solvency securitization.

THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

 

Land and History

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 February 2008, the UNDP merged back into the Democratic Party. In December 2011, the Democratic Party merged with the Citizens Unity Party to form the Democratic United Party, which changed its name to the Democratic Party in May 2013.

 

In December 2007, the country elected Lee Myung-Bak as President. He commenced his term on February 25, 2008. The Lee administration pursued a lively market economy through deregulation, free trade and the attraction of foreign investment.

 

In December 2012, the country elected Park Geun-hye as President. She commenced her term on February 25, 2013. The Park administration’s key policy priorities include:

 

   

facilitating the growth of small and medium-enterprises and job creation;

 

   

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

 

   

promoting clean and renewable energy technologies;

 

   

facilitating new growth engine industries;

 

   

taking initiatives on the denuclearization of North Korea; and

 

   

establishing an efficient government by reorganizing government functions.

 

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

Table of Contents

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

 

The 19th legislative general election was held on April 11, 2012 and the term of the National Assembly members elected in the 19th legislative general election commenced on May 30, 2012. Currently, there are two major political parties, the Saenuri Party (formerly known as the Grand National Party), or SP, and the Democratic Party, or DP.

 

As of June 3, 2013, the parties control the following number of seats in the National Assembly:

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. In June 2010, however, the United States and the Republic agreed to delay the dissolution of their joint command structure to 2015.

 

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 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. The Government formally accused North Korea of causing the sinking in May 2010. North Korea has denied responsibility for the sinking and has threatened retaliation for any attempt to punish it for the act. In November 2010, North Korean forces fired more than one hundred artillery shells targeting Yeonpyeong Island located near the maritime border between the Republic and North Korea on the west coast of the Korean peninsula, killing two Korean soldiers

and two civilians as well as causing substantial property damage. The Republic responded by firing approximately 80 artillery shells and putting the military on its highest alert level. The Government condemned North Korea for the act and vowed stern retaliation should there be further provocation. In April 2012, North Korea launched a long-range rocket over the Yellow Sea. The Republic, Japan and the United States condemned the launch and the United Nations Security Council adopted a chairman’s statement condemning North Korea for the launch. In December 2012, North Korea successfully launched a satellite into orbit using a long-range rocket after an unsuccessful attempt in April 2012, despite concerns in the international community that such a launch would be in violation of the recent agreement with the United States as well as United Nations Security Council resolutions that prohibit North Korea from conducting launches that use ballistic missile technology. In February 2013, North Korea announced that it had successfully conducted a third nuclear test, which increased tensions in the region. In response, the United Nations Security Council strongly condemned North Korea for the nuclear test. In late March 2013, North Korea stated that it had entered “a state of war” with the Republic, declaring the 1953 armistice invalid, and put its artillery at the highest level of combat readiness to protest the Republic-United States allies’ military drills and additional sanctions imposed on North Korea for its missile and nuclear tests. In early April 2013, North Korea blocked access to the inter-Korean industrial complex in its border city of Gaeseong to South Koreans, while the U.S. deployed nuclear-capable stealth bombers and destroyers to Korean air and sea space. In May 2013, North Korea launched several short-range projectiles into waters off its east coast over a three-day period. The Government declared the launches a provocation and urged North Korea to take responsible actions.

 

There recently has been increased uncertainty with respect to the future of North Korea’s political leadership and concern regarding its implications for economic and political stability in 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, Kim Jong-eun, who is reportedly in his twenties, to become his successor. In September 2010, Kim Jong-eun was made a general in the North Korean army, named the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and appointed to the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party in a series of measures widely believed to be part of the succession plan. 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 a currency reform undertaken 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.

 

Since the death of Kim Jong-il, the former North Korean ruler, in mid-December 2011, there has been increased uncertainty with respect to the future of North Korea’s political leadership and concern regarding its implications for political and economic stability in the region. Although Kim Jong-eun, Kim Jong-il’s third son, assumed power as North Korea’s new ruler, the eventual outcome of the leadership transition remains uncertain. Furthermore, as only limited information is available outside of North Korea about Kim Jong-eun, and it is unclear which individuals or factions, if any, will share political power with Kim Jong-eun or assume the leadership if the transition is not successful, there is significant uncertainty regarding the policies, actions and initiatives that North Korea might pursue in the future.

 

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 former 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

 

129


Table of Contents

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;

 

   

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

 

In recent years, adverse conditions and volatility in the worldwide financial markets, fluctuations in oil and commodity prices and the general weakness of the U.S. and global economy have contributed to the uncertainty of global economic prospects in general and have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the Korean economy.

 

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”. Moreover, gross domestic product, or 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 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, in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first half of 2009.

 

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 financial markets, including the provision of direct and indirect assistance to distressed financial institutions. In particular, the Government implemented, among other things, the following measures in 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 ₩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 ₩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 approximately ₩1.7 trillion of non-performing loans held by savings banks;

 

   

during the first quarter of 2009, the Government, through the Bank of Korea and the Korea Development Bank, purchased from Korean banks approximately ₩4 trillion of hybrid securities and subordinated bonds;

 

   

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 ₩28.4 trillion to provide stimulus for the Korean economy; 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.

 

The global financial markets have experienced significant volatility in recent years as a result of, among other things, the downgrading by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services of the long-term sovereign credit rating of the United States to “AA+” from “AAA” in August 2011, as well as the continuing financial difficulties affecting

many other governments worldwide, including Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal. In November 2009, the Dubai government announced a moratorium on the outstanding debt of Dubai World, a government-affiliated investment company. 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, and in May 2010 and March 2012, the Greek government reached an agreement with the IMF and the European Union to receive loans in the amount of Euro 110 billion over a three-year period and to receive additional loans in the amount of Euro 130 billion over a four-year period, respectively. In July 2012, the Spanish government reached an agreement with the European Union under the European Stability Mechanism, or ESM, to receive up to Euro 100 billion to cover the capitalization needs of the Spanish banking sector. In connection with the agreement with the Spanish government, the ESM disbursed Euro 37 billion and Euro 1.9 billion in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively, for the recapitalization of certain Spanish banks. 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).

 

There have been significant volatility in the Korea Composite Stock Index in recent years, due to adverse global financial and economic conditions. See “—The Financial System—Securities Markets”. There is no guarantee that the stock prices of Korean companies will not decline again in the future. Future declines in the 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 and banks to raise capital. 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 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.

 

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

 

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 growth was 3.3% in 2008. Industrial production decreased by 0.1% in 2009, primarily due to decreased exports as a result of adverse global economic conditions beginning in the second half of 2008. Industrial production increased by 16.3% in 2010, primarily due to increased exports and domestic consumption. Industrial production increased by 6.9% in 2011, primarily due to increased exports and domestic consumption. Based on preliminary data, industrial production increased by 1.7% in 2012, primarily due to increased domestic consumption and exports of goods and services.

 

Manufacturing

 

The manufacturing sector increased production by 3.4% in 2008. In 2009, the manufacturing sector decreased production by 0.2%. The manufacturing sector increased production by 16.8% in 2010 and 7.0% in 2011. Based on preliminary data, the manufacturing sector increased production by 1.8% in 2012.

 

Automobiles. 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. 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. In 2010, automobile production increased by 21.6%, domestic sales volume recorded an increase of 5.1% and export sales volume recorded an increase of 29.0%, compared with 2009. In 2011, automobile production increased by 9.0%, domestic sales volume recorded an increase of 0.6% and export sales volume recorded an increase of 13.7%, compared with 2010. Based on preliminary data, in 2012, automobile production decreased by 2.1%, domestic sales volume recorded a decrease of 4.3% and export sales volume recorded an increase of 0.6%, compared with 2011.

 

Electronics.

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 2008, rice production decreased 6.4% from 2007 to 4.4 million tons. In 2009, rice production increased 9.1% from 2008 to 4.8 million tons. In 2010, rice production increased 2.1% from 2009 to 4.9 million tons. In 2011, rice production decreased 12.2% from 2010 to 4.3 million tons. In 2012, rice production decreased 2.3% from 2011 to 4.2 million tons. Due to limited crop yields resulting from geographical and physical constraints, the Republic depends on imports for certain basic foodstuffs.

 

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 2008, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry increased by 5.6% compared to 2007. In 2009, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry increased by 3.2% compared to 2008. In 2010, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry decreased by 4.3% compared to 2009. In 2011, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries

industry decreased by 2.0% compared to 2010. Based on preliminary data, in 2012, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry decreased by 1.0% compared to 2011.

 

Construction

 

In 2008, the construction industry decreased by 2.5% compared to 2007 primarily due to a significant decrease in the construction of commercial and residential buildings. In 2009, the construction industry increased by 1.8% compared to 2008. In 2010, the construction industry decreased by 0.1% compared to 2009. In 2011, the construction industry decreased by 4.6% compared to 2010. Based on preliminary data, in 2012, the construction industry decreased by 1.3% compared to 2011. The construction industry has experienced a significant downturn since the second half of 2009, 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 in the second half of 2009 and into 2010. The Government has taken measures to support the Korean construction industry, including a ₩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.

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.

 

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 inflation rate was 4.7% in 2008, 2.8% in 2009, 3.0% in 2010, 4.0% in 2011 and 2.2% in 2012. The inflation rate was 1.4% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the corresponding period of 2012.

 

The unemployment rate was 3.2% in 2008, 3.6% in 2009, 3.7% in 2010, 3.4% in 2011 and 3.2% in 2012.

 

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 December 31, 2012, the economically active population of the Republic was 25.5 million and the number of employees was 24.7 million.

 

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 also adopted the five-day workweek on July 1, 2011.

 

Approximately 10.1% of the Republic’s workers were unionized as of December 31, 2011. Labor unrest in connection with demands by unionized workers for better wages and working conditions and greater job security occur from time to time in the Republic. Some of the significant incidents in recent years include the following:

 

   

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.

 

   

In December 2010, unionized workers at Hanjin Heavy Industries went on strike when the company laid-off workers. While the company reached an agreement with the majority of workers in June 2011, one worker continued her protest by occupying a shipyard crane until November 2011.

 

   

In July 2011, unionized employees at Standard Chartered Korea (formerly, SC First Bank) engaged in a two-month strike, the longest in the Republic’s banking sector, demanding that the bank scrap performance-related pay reforms.

 

   

In June 2012, unionized taxi drivers went on their first nationwide strike demanding fare increases and protesting against increased fuel costs.

 

   

In August 2012, unionized workers of Hyundai Motor Company went on a series of partial strikes demanding a higher bonus increase and the end of overnight shifts.

 

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, controlled 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 Democratic Labor Party merged with The New People’s Participation Party and changed its name to The Unified Progressive Party in December 2011. The Unified Progressive Party controlled 13 seats in the National Assembly after the 19th legislative general election held on April 11, 2012. On October 21, 2012, seven members of the National Assembly, previously belonging to the United Progressive Party, and their supporters formed a new party, the Progressive Justice Party.

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 78 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”).

 

143


Table of Contents

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, 2011, 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, 5,606 domestic branches and offices, 42 overseas branches, 19 overseas representative offices and 31 overseas subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011.

 

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 Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives; and

 

   

NH Bank (which was established by a spin-off of the credit and banking unit from the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation in March 2012).

 

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 (including loans in Won and loans in foreign currencies) and non-performing assets of Korean banks.

As of December 31, 2011, loans denominated in Won held by Korean banks increased by 7.8% to ₩1,068.5 trillion from ₩991.0 trillion as of December 31, 2010, primarily due to (i) an increase in loans to large corporations by 31.0% to ₩130.7 trillion as of December 31, 2011 from ₩99.8 trillion as of December 31, 2010 and (ii) an increase in household loans by 5.8% to ₩452.5 trillion as of December 31, 2011 from ₩427.6 trillion as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2012, loans denominated in Won held by these banks increased by 3.5% to ₩1,106.4 trillion from ₩1,068.5 trillion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to (i) an increase in loans to large corporations by 19.9% to ₩156.7 trillion as of December 31, 2012 from ₩130.7 trillion as of December 31, 2011 and (ii) an increase in household loans by 2.7% to ₩464.5 trillion as of December 31, 2012 from ₩452.5 trillion as of December 31, 2011.

 

In 2008, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of ₩7.7 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of ₩15.0 trillion in 2007, primarily due to increased loan loss provisions. In 2009, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of ₩6.9 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of ₩7.7 trillion in 2008, primarily due to increased non-performing loans. In 2010, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of ₩9.3 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of ₩6.9 trillion in 2009, primarily due to increased net interest income. In 2011, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of ₩12.0 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of ₩9.3 trillion in 2010, primarily due to decreased non-performing loans. Based on preliminary data, in 2012, these banks posted an aggregate net profit of ₩9.0 trillion, compared to an aggregate net profit of ₩12.0 trillion in 2011, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of equity securities and an increase in impairment loss on available-for-sale securities.

 

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 100 mutual savings banks as of December 31, 2011, with assets totaling ₩65.5 trillion.

 

As of December 31, 2011, 13 domestic life insurance institutions, two joint venture life insurance institutions and nine wholly-owned subsidiaries of foreign life insurance companies, with assets totaling approximately ₩442.7 trillion as of December 31, 2011, were operating in the Republic.

 

As of December 31, 2011, seven credit card companies operated in the country with loans totaling approximately ₩81.9 trillion.

 

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

Table of Contents

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 joint stock company with limited liability, 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.

 

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.

On December 27, 1997, the last day of trading in 1997, the index stood at 376.3, a sharp decline from 647.1 on September 30, 1997. 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 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 1,900.6 on June 18, 2013.

 

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 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 ₩50 million per person regardless of the amount deposited.

 

The Government 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 gradually 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 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%, which was further raised to 2.5% on November 16, 2010, in response to signs of inflationary pressures and the continued growth of domestic economy. On January 13, 2011, The Bank of Korea raised the policy rate to 2.75%, which was further increased to 3.0% on March 10, 2011 and to 3.25% on June 10, 2011, in response to inflationary pressures driven mainly by rises in the prices of petroleum products and farm products. The Bank of Korea lowered its policy rate to 3.0% from 3.25% on July 12, 2012, which was further lowered to 2.75% on October 11, 2012 and to 2.5% on May 9, 2013, in order to address the sluggishness of the global and domestic economy.

 

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 has subsequently been amended numerous times. 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 as

amended in July 2010, 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 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 100%.

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 ₩888.1 to US$1.00 on June 30, 1997 to ₩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 ₩1,128.0 to US$1.00 on June 18, 2013.

 

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 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 Republic recorded a current account surplus of approximately US$26.1 billion in 2011. The current account surplus in 2011 decreased from the current account surplus of US$29.4 billion in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in surplus from the goods account which more than offset a decrease in deficit from the services account.

 

Based on preliminary data, the Republic recorded a current account surplus of approximately US$43.1 billion in 2012. The current account surplus in 2012 increased from the current account surplus of US$26.1 billion in 2011, primarily due to (i) an increase in surplus from the goods account and (ii) a surplus of US$2.7 billion from the service account in 2012 compared to a deficit of US$5.8 billion in 2011.

 

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, or 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. 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.

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.

Overall exports decreased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to a decrease in 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.

 

On October 6, 2010, the Republic and the European Union, or EU, signed an agreement on a bilateral free trade agreement, or FTA, which provisionally came into effect on July 1, 2011 after approval of the EU parliament and ratification by the Republic and EU member states. In April 2007, the Republic and the United States reached an FTA, which was subsequently renegotiated and signed by both nations in December 2010. The FTA was ratified by the U.S. Congress in October 2011 and the Korean National Assembly in November 2011 and came into effect on March 15, 2012.

 

Non-Commodities Trade Balance

 

The non-commodities trade deficit was US$2.0 billion in 2008, US$5.1 billion in 2009, US$10.7 billion in 2010 and US$5.6 billion in 2011. Based on preliminary data, the Republic had a non-commodities trade surplus of US$4.8 billion in 2012.

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. The amount of the Government’s foreign currency reserve was US$328.8 billion as of April 30, 2013.

 

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 Government must submit the budget, which is drafted by the Minister of Strategy and Finance and approved by the President of the Republic, 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.

 

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 2008, revenues increased by approximately 2.9% 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 ₩15.9 trillion in 2008.

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;

 

   

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

 

   

other specific provisions.

 

167


Table of Contents

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 two years, in the case of interest, from the date on which payment was due.

 

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.

 

168


Table of Contents

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.

 

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

 

169


Table of Contents

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 also not pay any additional amounts for taxes imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (FATCA), U.S. Treasury regulations or administrative guidance promulgated thereunder or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto. 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.

 

170


Table of Contents

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.

 

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.

 

171


Table of Contents
  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;

 

   

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).

 

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.

 

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;

 

172


Table of Contents
   

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;

 

   

secure the debt securities;

 

173


Table of Contents
   

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.

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. Jae Ik Kim, and the Senior Deputy General Manager of our New York Branch, Mr. Jong Kug Yoon, 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

 

175


Table of Contents

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.

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.

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 issued outside of Korea denominated in a foreign currency, 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 issued outside of Korea, 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 generally 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.

 

178


Table of Contents

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 issue 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 issue 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, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Republic of Fiji, Romania, Russia, 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 16.5% (including surtax), 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;

 

179


Table of Contents
   

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.

 

This summary deals only with debt securities that are properly treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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

 

180


Table of Contents

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 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. 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

 

181


Table of Contents

Treasury regulations (the “OID regulations”). You should be aware that, as described in greater detail below, if 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

 

182


Table of Contents

two taxable years, at the average exchange rate for each partial period). Alternatively, you may translate the 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

 

183


Table of Contents

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 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. Under proposed legislation, U.S. holders described in this paragraph would be required to accrue acquisition discount on short-term debt securities acquired after December 31, 2013, rather than original issue discount. No assurance can be given as to whether the proposed legislation will be enacted, or if so in what form. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the potential application of this proposed legislation to their investment in such debt securities.

 

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

 

184


Table of Contents

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 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).

 

Legislation has been proposed that would require a U.S. holder to accrue market discount on a debt security if the holder acquired the debt security after December 31, 2013. Under the proposed legislation, a U.S. holder would be required to include in gross income the sum of the “daily portions” of market discount, subject to a maximum inclusion amount, for all days during the taxable year that the U.S. holder owns such debt security, in a manner similar to the inclusion of original issue discount described above. No assurance can be given as to whether the proposed legislation will be enacted, or if so in what form. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the potential application of these rules to their investment in debt securities.

 

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 may be subject to certain 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 to its particular situation.

Table of Contents

In order to avoid potentially adverse U.S. federal tax consequences, “foreign financial institutions” will be required, for years beginning after December 31, 2012, to collect information on certain financial accounts held by U.S. persons and submit such information to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) by March 31, 2015. We may qualify as a “foreign financial institution” under these rules. However, the application of these rules to amounts paid on or with respect to the debt securities is not clear. For example, it is not yet clear what information we would be required to provide to the IRS with respect to holders of the debt securities. By purchasing the Notes, U.S. holders agree to provide an IRS form W-9, and whatever other information may be necessary for us to comply with these reporting obligations. If an amount of, or in respect of, U.S. withholding tax were to be deducted or withheld from payments on the debt securities as a result of an investor’s failure to comply with these rules, neither we nor any paying agent nor any other person would be required to pay additional amounts with respect to any debt securities as a result of the deduction or withholding of such tax.

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.
