¹ The Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea requires the Company to appropriate as a legal reserve, an amount equal to a minimum of 10% of annual cash dividends declared, until
the reserve equals 50% of its issued capital stock. The reserve is not available for the payment of cash dividends, but may be transferred to capital stock through a resolution of the
Board of Directors or used to reduce accumulated deficit, if any, with the ratification of the shareholders.
² In accordance with the Regulation for Securities Issuance and Disclosure, the Company is required to appropriate, as a reserve for improvement of financial structure, an amount equal
to at least 50% of the net extraordinary gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment and 10% of net earnings for each year, until the shareholders’ equity equals 30% of total
assets. This reserve is not available for the payment of cash dividends, but may be transferred to capital stock or used to reduce accumulated deficit, if any.
The par value of capital stock differs from paid-in capital as the
retirement of capital stock was recorded as a deduction from
retained earnings.
