(including Woori Bank, collectively, the “Stock Transfer Companies”).)

Woori Bank : Woori Financial Group = 1:1.0000000

Woori FIS : Woori Financial Group =
1:0.2999709

Woori Finance Research Institute : Woori Financial Group =

Woori Fund Services : Woori Financial Group =
1:0.4709031

4. Basis of calculation of stock transfer ratio

Through a comprehensive stock transfer (the stock transfer”), Woori Bank, a listed company, and Woori FIS, Woori Finance Research Institute, Woori Credit Information, Woori Fund Services and Woori Private Equity Asset Management, all unlisted companies, will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the newly-established Woori Financial Group Inc. (preliminary; “Woori Financial Group”). One share of common stock of Woori Financial Group will be issued and allocated for one share of common stock of Woori Bank, a listed company, and with respect to unlisted companies Woori FIS, Woori Finance Research Institute, Woori Credit Information, Woori Fund Services and Woori Private Equity Asset Management, shares of common stock of Woori Financial Group will be issued and allocated to the shareholders of such companies based on a valuation of their stock pursuant to Article 165-4 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and Articles 176-6 and 176-5 of its Enforcement Decree.

(1)   Transfer price of the parent company (Woori Financial Group)

The transfer price was calculated by allocating one share of common stock of Woori Financial Group per one share of common stock of Woori Bank.

(2)   Transfer price of the listed company (Woori Bank) becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary

The transfer price is the reference price calculated in accordance with Article 165-4 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and Article 176-5 of its Enforcement Decree, which is the arithmetic mean of (i) the weighted average of the closing share prices for the most recent one-month period, (ii) the weighted average of the closing share prices for the most recent one-week period and (iii) the closing share price as of the most recent date, using a calculation date (i.e., June 18, 2018) which is one day prior to the earlier of (A) the date of the resolution of the board of directors (i.e., June 19, 2018) and (B) the execution date of the comprehensive stock transfer plan (i.e., June 19, 2018). Such reference price was applied without any discounts or premiums, notwithstanding their allowance within a range of 30% (10% for stock transfers between affiliated companies) under Article 176-5, Paragraph 1(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.

•   Weighted average of the closing share prices for the most recent one-month period (May 21, 2018~June 18, 2018): Won 15,988

•   Weighted average of the closing share prices for the most recent one-week period (June 12, 2018~June 18, 2018): Won 16,427

•   Closing share price as of the most recent date (June 18, 2018): Won 16,350

•   Arithmetic mean of (i), (ii) and (iii): Won 16,255

•   Transfer price: Won 16,255

(3)   Transfer prices of the unlisted companies becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries

In accordance with Article 165-4 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and Article 176-5 of its Enforcement Decree, the intrinsic value of each unlisted company was determined by calculating the weighted average of the asset value and the earnings value after applying a factor of 1 and 1.5, respectively thereto, pursuant to Article 176-5 of the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, Article 5-13 of the Regulation on Securities Issuance and Disclosure and Articles 4 through 8 of its Detailed Enforcement Rules.

(A)  Transfer price of Woori FIS

•   Asset value: Won 6,642

•   Earnings value: Won 3,699

•   Intrinsic value: Won 4,876

•   Transfer price: Won 4,876

(B)  Transfer price of Woori Finance Research Institute

•   Asset value: Won 5,734

•   Earnings value: Won 1,293

•   Intrinsic value: Won 3,069

•   Transfer price: Won 3,069

(C)  Transfer price of Woori Credit Information

•   Asset value: Won 27,035

•   Earnings value: Won 11,879

•   Intrinsic value: Won 17,941

•   Transfer price: Won 17,941

(D)  Transfer price of Woori Fund Services

•   Asset value: Won 5,706

•   Earnings value: Won 8,954

•   Intrinsic value: Won 7,655

•   Transfer price: Won 7,655

(E)  Transfer price of Woori Private Equity Asset Management

•   Asset value: Won 6,704

•   Earnings value: Won (2,091)

•   Intrinsic value: Won 1,427

•   Transfer price: Won 1,427

5.  Matters relating to external appraisal

Yes

-   Basis and reasons

6.  Purpose of the stock transfer

7.  Material effects of the stock transfer

(1)   Effects on the Company’s management

•   The Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “KDIC”), Woori Bank’s largest shareholder, currently has an 18.43% ownership interest as of the date of submission of this report; however, upon completion of the stock transfer, Woori Financial Group will become the largest shareholder of Woori Bank with 100% ownership interest, and the Stock Transfer Companies, including Woori Bank, will continue to exist as independent entities.

•   In the stock transfer, shareholders of Woori Bank will be issued and allocated new shares of Woori Financial Group, a newly-established company, based on the ratio of 1:1.0000000. (Please see “4. Basis of calculation of stock transfer ratio” for details on the stock transfer ratios.)

•   Accordingly, the KDIC, currently Woori Bank’s largest shareholder, will continue to maintain the position of the largest shareholder of Woori Financial Group, a newly-established company, without change in the ownership structure, and Woori Financial Group will have six subsidiaries (Woori Bank, Woori FIS, Woori Finance Research Institute, Woori Credit Information, Woori Fund Services and Woori Private Equity Asset Management) after its establishment pursuant to the stock transfer.

•   Subsequent to the establishment of the holding company, the addition of Woori Card Co., Ltd. and Woori Investment Bank Co., Ltd. as subsidiaries of such holding company will be reviewed, and new companies are also expected to be added as subsidiaries of such holding company as strategically necessary through new establishments or acquisitions, which will be publicly disclosed when the plans therefor are confirmed.

(2)   Effects on the Company’s finances and operations

•   As a stock transfer between a parent company and a wholly-owned subsidiary, the stock transfer is not expected to have a material effect on a consolidated basis, and accordingly, the stock transfer is not expected to have a material effect on the financial structure of Woori Bank, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Improvements in certain performance indicators (e.g., BIS ratio) and credit profile may result in a decrease in funding costs.

•   In addition, Woori Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woori Financial Group that accounts for a substantial majority of Woori Financial Group’s assets and business, which is highly unlikely to result in an adverse effect to the Company’s operations.

•   The establishment of Woori Financial Group is expected to lead to an efficient management structure that can effectively respond to external changes, such as changes in regulations and the earlier conversions of our competitor banks to financial holding company structures, a higher enterprise value achieved through enhanced profitability from the maximization of synergies among affiliated companies, and sustainable growth from the strengthening of customer convenience and other competitive factors.

10.  Details regarding exercise of appraisal rights

Pursuant to Articles 360-22 and 360-5 of the Commercial Code, Article 165-5 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and Article 62-2 of the Financial Holding Company Act, shareholders who have submitted a written notice of objection to the resolution of the board of directors approving the stock transfer may exercise their appraisal rights by providing the Company with a written statement specifying the class and the number of shares with respect to which appraisal rights are being exercised, within 10 days after the date of the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders to approve the stock transfer. Appraisal rights may be exercised with respect to all or a portion of the shares owned by a shareholder as of the record date for determining shareholders for the general meeting of shareholders.

However, pursuant to Article 165-5 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and Article 176-7 of its Enforcement Decree, appraisal rights will only be granted if (a) a shareholder can prove that the applicable shares owned by such shareholder were acquired prior to the public notice of the resolution of the board of directors, or the shareholder, despite having acquired such shares after such public notice of the resolution of the board of directors, can prove that, by the business day after the date of such public notice, (i) a purchase agreement for such shares had been executed, (ii) a loan agreement for such shares had been terminated, or (iii) a legal act relating to the acquisition of such shares had been taken, and (b) such shareholder has maintained the ownership of such shares from the business day after the date of the public notice of the resolution of the board of directors until the date of the exercise of such appraisal rights. Appraisal rights will be lost with respect to shares that were sold and then repurchased during such period.

Shareholders satisfying all the conditions above may exercise appraisal rights with respect to all or a portion of the shares owned as of the record date for determining shareholders for the general meeting of shareholders, and shareholders who have submitted a written notice of their objection to the resolution of the board of directors approving the stock transfer but vote in favor of the stock transfer at the general meeting of shareholders may not exercise their appraisal rights.

(1)   Procedures for notice of objection

Pursuant to Articles 360-22 and 360-5 of the Commercial Code and Article 165-5 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, shareholders opposing the stock transfer among those registered in the shareholder register as of the record date (i.e., November 15, 2018) must notify the Company in writing of their objection to the resolution of the board of directors approving the stock transfer by the day prior to the date of the general meeting of shareholders (i.e., December 27, 2018).

However, beneficial owners that have entrusted their shares to a securities company must notify such securities company of their objection. In such case, the notice of objection must be conveyed no later than three business days prior to the date of the general meeting of shareholders. A securities company must collect and convey such notices of objection to the Korea Securities Depository (the “KSD”) at least two business days prior to the date of the general meeting of shareholders. The KSD must notify the Company of the beneficial owners’ objections on behalf of such owners by the day prior to the date of the general meeting of shareholders.

•   Start date: December 7, 2018

•   End date: December 27, 2018

(3)   Method of exercising appraisal rights

Pursuant to Articles 360-22 and 360-5 of the Commercial Code, Article 165-5 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and Article 62-2, Paragraph 2 of the Financial Holding Company Act, a shareholder that has provided a written notice of objection may exercise its appraisal rights by requesting that the Company purchase the shares owned by such shareholder in a written statement specifying the class and the number of such shares along with the share certificates held by such shareholder, within 10 days after the date of the general meeting of shareholders. Such appraisal rights may be exercised with respect to all or a portion of the shares owned by such shareholder.

However, beneficial owners that have entrusted their shares to a securities company may exercise their appraisal rights by filing with such securities company an application to exercise the appraisal rights with respect to such entrusted shares. If a beneficial owner files such an application by two business days prior to the end of the appraisal right exercise period, the KSD will apply for the appraisal rights on behalf of such beneficial owners.

(4)   Exercise period

Pursuant to Articles 360-22 and 360-5 of the Commercial Code and Article 165-5 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a shareholder that has provided a written notice of its objection to the resolution of the board of directors approving the stock transfer may exercise its appraisal rights by requesting that the Company purchase the shares owned by such shareholder; however, pursuant to Article 62-2, Paragraph 2 of the Financial Holding Company Act, the appraisal right exercise period will be shortened from 20 days to 10 days after the date of the resolution of the board of directors, as follows:

•   Start date: December 28, 2018

In addition, in the event the stock transfer procedures are suspended, including due to the stock transfer plan becoming ineffective or terminated, the Stock Transfer Companies may not purchase the shares with respect to which appraisal rights were exercised, as such exercise of appraisal rights will also become void.
