Agenda 2. Approval of the ceiling amount of remuneration for directors

•

Proposed aggregate ceiling on remuneration for directors:

•

2,120,796 thousand won in fiscal year 2018 (total number of directors: 15; number of non-standing directors: 8)

•

2,108,298 thousand won in fiscal year 2017 (total number of directors: 15; number of non-standing directors: 8)

•

We proposed to increase the maximum aggregate amount of remuneration for directors in 2018 by 0.6% compared to 2017 as a result of (i) the notification by the Government to increase the remuneration for directors of government controlled entities by 2.6% and (ii) the decreased severance payments due to the decrease in the average incumbency of our directors from 26 months to 19 months.
