Thailand, and Vietnam bridge the digital divide. In 2004, we pledged an additional $550,000 to
fund 13 new programs, bringing the two-year total to $1.15 million. This program earned us an
honorable mention in the Community Affairs category of the PR News 2003 Corporate Social
Responsibility Awards.

Many of our sports sponsorships also have a philanthropic com-
ponent. For example, during the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, we organized daily auctions of
athlete memorabilia at the Olympic Rendezvous@Samsung pavilion that raised 28,500 for
Right to Play, a humanitarian organization dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of
children through sport and play.

Samsung Japan Corporation has been a corporate
sponsor of the Japan Alliance for Humanitarian Demining Support since 1992. In 2004, we par-
ticipated in a special conference and concert at United Nations University in Tokyo to raise
awareness of this non-profit organization’s demining efforts as well as auction off celebrity
memorabilia to raise funds to support ongoing projects.

In the week following the
Indian Ocean tsunami that struck on December 26, 2004, we pledged $1 million in financial and
material support for the victims of the tragedy, a figure that was raised to $3 million in early Jan-
uary 2005 as the extent of the devastation became evident. These figures complemented the
myriad fundraising and relief efforts of the more than 10,000 Samsung employees working in
the affected regions. We intend to continue providing relief and support throughout 2005 to
help get local families and economies back on their feet.
