Amendment Regarding Decision on SK Broadband’s Merger with Tbroad, Tbroad
Dongdaemun and KDMC
The information regarding the merger of SK Broadband Co., Ltd. (“SK Broadband”), a subsidiary of SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), with Tbroad Co., Ltd. (“Tbroad”), Tbroad Dongdaemun Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (“Tbroad Dongdaemun”) and Korea Digital Cable Media Center (“KDMC,” and together with Tbroad and Tbroad Dongdaemun, the “Merging Companies”) set forth in the Form6-K furnished by the Company on April 26, 2019 entitled “Decision on SK Broadband’s Merger with Tbroad, Tbroad Dongdaemun and KDMC,” as amended by the Form6-K/A furnished by the Company on October 16, 2019 and the Form6-K/A furnished by the Company on December 13, 2019, is further amended by replacing the items numbered 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10 and the table entitled “Information about SK Broadband” with the following:
3. Merger Ratio | SK Broadband : Tbroad : Tbroad Dongdaemun : KDMC = 1 : 1.6852219 : 2.2092276 : 0.1691069 | |
4. Calculation of Merger Ratio | SK Broadband and the Merging Companies are all unlisted stock companies. There are no laws or regulations providing for the method of calculation of the merger ratio for a merger among unlisted stock companies, and pursuant to Article165-4 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act of Korea (“FSCMA”) and Article176-5 of the Enforcement Decree of the FSCMA, no assessment of the fairness of the merger consideration by an external assessment institution is required. However, SK Broadband voluntarily received such assessment in order to determine the appropriate value of the Merging Companies.
The assessment method pursuant to the Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act of Korea, which is used for purposes of imposing tax or reducingtax-related disadvantages, is generally considered to be unsuitable for assessing fair value. Accordingly, SK Broadband considered the various assessment methods generally used for valuing companies based on asset value, revenue and market value, and selected the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model, which is a method based on revenue, for calculating the merger ratio. The DCF model is the most widely used method in practice, and SK Broadband determined it to be the most suitable method for assessing a company’s corporate value in general, because it reflects the company’s future revenue stream or ability to generate cash. In particular, as the Merger combines four companies, the DCF model is the most rational method as it can take into account the expected changes to each company’s business in the medium-to long-term.
Results of Assessment
The estimated values per share of SK Broadband, Tbroad, Tbroad Dongdaemun and KDMC are Won 12,140, Won 20,458, Won 26,819 and Won 2,053, respectively, resulting in the merger ratio agreed among the merger parties of 1 : 1.6852219 : 2.2092276 : 0.1691069. | |
