Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) selected Woori Investment & Securities, Samsung Securities, Citigroup Global Markets Korea Securities and J.P. Morgan Securities to be on the short list of financial advisors for the proposed sale of KEPCO’s treasury shares as part of its plans to further improve its financial structure. Details of such sale, including the timing and methods, will be determined based on further consultation with the financial advisors.

In addition, as for the proposed sale of certain land sites that are not directly related to KEPCO’s operation, KEPCO continues to be committed to making such sale but will conduct such sale in full and careful consideration of all relevant factors, including the restrictions on such land arising from the nature of KEPCO’s business as an electricity supplier and the prevailing conditions of the Korean real estate market.

For further details relating to the above-mentioned topics, see Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2014.
