PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

The financial statements included in this annual report are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. As such, we make an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB with respect to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 included in this annual report. Unless indicated otherwise, the financial information in this annual report as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, which is not comparable to information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP.

In accordance with rule amendments adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which became effective on March 4, 2008, we are not required to provide a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all financial data included in this annual report are presented on a consolidated basis.

In this annual report:

• references to “we,” “us” or “KB Financial Group” are to KB Financial Group Inc. and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries;

• references to “Korea” are to the Republic of Korea;

• references to the “government” are to the government of the Republic of Korea;

• references to “Won” or “￦” are to the currency of Korea; and

• references to “U.S. dollars,” “$” or “US$” are to United States dollars.

Discrepancies between totals and the sums of the amounts contained in any table may be a result of rounding.

For your convenience, this annual report contains translations of Won amounts into U.S. dollars at the noon buying rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for Won in effect on December 31, 2016, which was ￦1,203.7 = US$1.00.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to discloseforward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This annual report containsforward-looking statements.

Words and phrases such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “positioned,” “predict,” “project,” “risk,” “seek to,” “shall,” “should,” “will likely result,” “will pursue,” “plan” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or our expectations, plans, projections or business prospects identifyforward-looking statements. In particular, the statements under the headings “Item 3.D. Risk Factors,” “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview” regarding our financial condition and other future events or prospects areforward-looking statements. Allforward-looking statements are management’s present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in theforward-looking statements.

In addition to the risks related to our business discussed under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors,” other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in theforward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:

• our ability to successfully implement our strategy;

• future levels ofnon-performing loans;

• our growth and expansion;

• the adequacy of allowances for credit and investment losses;

• technological changes;

• interest rates;

• investment income;

• availability of funding and liquidity;

• cash flow projections;

• our exposure to market risks; and

• adverse market and regulatory conditions.

By their nature, certain disclosures relating to these and other risks are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains, losses or impact on our income or results of operations could materially differ from those that have been estimated. For example, revenues could decrease, costs could increase, capital costs could increase, capital investment could be delayed and anticipated improvements in performance might not be fully realized.

In addition, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by theforward-looking statements contained in this annual report could include, but are not limited to:

• general economic and political conditions in Korea or other countries that have an impact on our business activities or investments;

• the monetary and interest rate policies of Korea;

• inflation or deflation;

2

• unanticipated volatility in interest rates;

• foreign exchange rates;

• prices and yields of equity and debt securities;

• the performance of the financial markets in Korea and globally;

• changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes;

• changes in competition and the pricing environments in Korea; and

• regional or general changes in asset valuations.

For further discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ, see the discussion under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” contained in this annual report. We caution you not to place undue reliance on theforward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this annual report. Except as required by law, we are not under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter anyforward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

All subsequentforward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this annual report.

Risks relating to our retail credit portfolio

Future changes in market conditions as well as other factors may lead to increases in delinquency levels of our retail loan portfolio.

In recent years, consumer debt has increased significantly in Korea. Our portfolio of retail loans, including mortgage and home equity loans, increased from ￦107,644 billion as of December 31, 2013 to ￦119,249 billion as of December 31, 2014, ￦124,194 billion as of December 31, 2015 and ￦134,956 billion as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, our domestic retail loans represented 50.4% of our total lending. Within our retail loan portfolio, the outstanding balance of other consumer loans, which unlike mortgage or home equity loans are often unsecured and therefore tend to carry a higher credit risk, increased from ￦29,675 billion as of December 31, 2013 to ￦41,629 billion as of December 31, 2016; as a percentage of total outstanding retail loans, such balance increased from 27.6% as of December 31, 2013 to 30.8% as of December 31, 2016. The growth of our retail lending business, which generally offers higher margins than other lending activities, has contributed significantly to our interest income and profitability in recent years.

11

The growth of our retail loan portfolio, together with adverse economic conditions in Korea and globally in recent years, may lead to increases in delinquency levels and a deterioration in asset quality. The amount of ournon-performing retail loans (defined as those loans that are past due by 90 days or more) decreased from ￦546 billion as of December 31, 2013 to ￦395 billion as of December 31, 2014, ￦329 billion as of December 31, 2015 and ￦272 billion as of December 31, 2016. However, higher delinquencies in our retail loan portfolio in the future will require us to increase our loan loss provisions andcharge-offs, which in turn will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our large exposure to consumer debt means that we are exposed to changes in economic conditions affecting Korean consumers. Accordingly, a rise in unemployment, an increase in interest rates, a deterioration of the real estate market or difficulties in the Korean economy may have an adverse effect on Korean consumers, which could result in reduced growth and deterioration in the credit quality of our retail loan portfolio. See “Risks relating to Korea—Unfavorable financial and economic developments in Korea may have an adverse effect on us.” In order to minimize our risk as a result of such exposure, we are continuing to strengthen our risk management processes, including further improving the retail lending process, upgrading our retail credit rating system, as well as strengthening the overall management of our portfolio. Despite our efforts, however, there is no assurance that we will be able to prevent significant credit quality deterioration in our retail loan portfolio.

In addition, we are exposed to changes in regulations and policies on retail lending by the Korean government, which may adopt measures to restrict retail lending or encourage financial institutions to provide financial support to certain types of retail borrowers. In 2014 and 2015, the Korean government implemented several measures to encourage consumer spending and revive the housing market in Korea, including loosening regulations on mortgage lending, which contributed to an increase in our portfolio of retail loans. However, the Korean government introduced measures in the second half of 2016 to tighten regulations on mortgage lending and housing subscription in response to the rapid growth in consumer debt and concerns over speculative investments in real estate in certain areas. Signs of decreases in housing prices following the implementation of such measures, together with the high level of consumer debt, could result in further declines in consumer spending and reduced economic growth, which may lead to increases in delinquency levels of our retail loan portfolio.

In light of adverse conditions in the Korean economy affecting consumers, in March 2009, the Financial Services Commission requested Korean banks, including us, to establish a“pre-workout program,” including a credit counseling and recovery service, for retail borrowers with outstandingshort-term debt defaults. Under thepre-workout program, which has been in operation since April 2009, maturity extensions and/or interest reductions are provided for retail borrowers with total loans of ￦1.5 billion or less (consisting of no more than ￦500 million of unsecured loans and ￦1 billion of secured loans) who are in arrears on their payments for more than 30 days but less than 90 days or for retail borrowers with an annual income of ￦40 million or less who have been in arrears on their payments for 30 days or more on an aggregate basis for the 12 months prior to their application. In addition, in March 2015, in response to increasing levels of consumer debt and amid concerns over thedebt-servicing capacity of retail borrowers if interest rates were to rise, the Korean government launched, and requested Korean banks to participate in, a mortgage loan refinancing program aimed at reducing the payment burden on and improving the asset quality of outstanding mortgage loans. Under such refinancing program, over 340,000 qualified retail borrowers converted their outstandingnon-amortizingfloating-rate mortgage loans from Korean commercial banks (including us) into amortizingfixed-rate mortgage loans with lower interest rates, amounting to an aggregate principal amount of ￦34 trillion for all commercial banks in 2015. Our participation in such refinancing program may lead to a decrease in our interest income on our outstanding mortgage loans, as well as in our overall net interest margin. Moreover, our participation in suchgovernment-led initiatives to provide financial support to retail borrowers may lead us to offer credit terms for such borrowers that we would not generally offer, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

12

Our credit card operations may generate losses in the future, which could hurt our financial condition and results of operations.

With respect to our credit card portfolio, our delinquency ratio (which represents the ratio of amounts that are overdue by 30 days or more to total outstanding balances) decreased from 1.7% as of December 31, 2013 to 1.5% as of December 31, 2014 and 1.2% as of December 31, 2015 and remained at 1.2% as of December 31, 2016. In line with industry practice, we have restructured a portion of delinquent credit card account balances (defined as balances overdue by 30 daysor more) as loans. As of December 31, 2016, these restructured loans outstanding amounted to ￦43 billion. Because these loans are not treated as being delinquent at the time of conversion or for a period of time thereafter, our delinquency ratios may not fully reflect all delinquent amounts relating to our outstanding loans. Including all restructured loans, outstanding balances overdue by 30 days or more accounted for 1.5% of our credit card receivables (including credit card loans) as of December 31, 2016. Delinquencies may increase in 2017 and in the future as a result of, among other things, adverse economic conditions in Korea and the inability of Korean consumers to manage increased household debt.

Despite our continuing efforts to sustain and improve our credit card asset quality and performance, we may experience increased delinquencies or deterioration of the asset quality of our credit card portfolio, which would require us to increase our loan loss provisions andcharge-offs and adversely affect our overall financial condition and results of operations.

Risks relating to oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise loan portfolio

We have significant exposure tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, and any financial difficulties experienced by these customers may result in a deterioration of our asset quality and have an adverse impact on us.

One of our core businesses is lending tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises (as defined under “Item 4.B. Business Overview—CorporateBanking—Small- andMedium-sized Enterprise Banking”). Our loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises increased from ￦71,045 billion as of December 31, 2013 to ￦86,065 billion as of December 31, 2016.During that period,non-performing loans (defined as those loans that are past due by 90 days or more) tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises decreased from ￦568 billion as of December 31, 2013 to ￦302 billion as of December 31, 2016, and thenon-performing loan ratio for such loans decreased from 0.8% as of December 31, 2013 to 0.4% as of December 31, 2016. However, ournon-performing loans andnon-performing loan ratio may increase in 2017. According to data compiled by the Financial Supervisory Service, the delinquency ratio forWon-currency loans by Korean commercial banks tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises was 0.6% as of December 31, 2016. The delinquency ratio for loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprise is calculated as the ratio of (1) the outstanding balance of such loans in respect of which either principal or interest payments are overdue by one month or more to (2) the aggregate outstanding balance of such loans. Our delinquency ratio for such Won currency loans decreased from 0.9% as of December 31, 2013 to 0.4% as of December 31, 2016. However, our delinquency ratio for such Won currency loans may increase in 2017. In recent years, we have taken measures which sought to stem rising delinquencies in our loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, including through strengthening the review of loan applications and closer monitoring of thepost-loan performance ofsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers in industry sectors that are relatively more sensitive to downturns in the economy and have shown higher delinquency ratios, such as shipping, construction, lodging, retail and wholesale, restaurants and real estate. Despite such efforts, however, there is no assurance that delinquency levels for our loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises will not rise in the future. In particular, financial difficulties experienced bysmall- andmedium-sized enterprises as a result of, among other things, adverse economic conditions in Korea and globally in recent years may lead to a deterioration in the asset quality of our loans to this segment. Any such deterioration would result in increasedcharge-offs and higher provisioning and reduced interest and fee income from this segment, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, manysmall- andmedium-sized enterprises have close business relationships with the largest Korean commercial conglomerates, known as “chaebols,” primarily as suppliers. Any difficulties encountered by thosechaebols would likely hurt the liquidity and financial condition of relatedsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, including those to which we have exposure, also resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay loans.

A substantial part of oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise lending comprises loans to “small office/home office” customers, or SOHOs. SOHOs, which we currently define to include sole proprietorships and individual business interests, are usually dependent on a limited number of suppliers or customers. SOHOs tend to be affected to a greater extent than larger corporate borrowers by fluctuations in the Korean economy. In addition, SOHOs often maintain less sophisticated financial records than other corporate borrowers. Although we continue to make efforts to improve our internally developed credit rating systems to rate potential borrowers, particularly with respect to SOHOs, and intend to manage our exposure to these borrowers closely in order to prevent any deterioration in the asset quality of our loans to this segment, we may not be able to do so as intended.

In light of the deteriorating financial condition and liquidity position ofsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises in Korea since the global financial crisis commencing in the second half of 2008, the Korean government introduced policies and initiatives intended to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. For example, in October 2008, the Financial Supervisory Service requested Korean banks, including us, to establish a “fast track” program to provide liquidity assistance tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises on an expedited basis. Under the fast track program we established, which has been extended until December 31, 2017, we provide liquidity assistance to qualifiedsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers applying for such assistance, in the form of new loans or maturity extensions or interest rate adjustments with respect to existing loans, after expedited credit review and approval by us. The overall prospects for the Korean economy in 2017 and beyond remain uncertain, and the Korean government may extend or renew existing or past policies and initiatives or introduce new policies or initiatives to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. Our participation in suchgovernment-led initiatives may lead us to extend credit tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers that we would not otherwise extend, or offer terms for such credit that we would not otherwise offer, in the absence of such initiatives. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the financial condition and liquidity position of oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers benefiting from such initiatives will improve sufficiently for them to service their debt on a timely basis, or at all. Accordingly, increases in our exposure tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers resulting from suchgovernment-led initiatives may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have exposure to Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping companies, and financial difficulties of these companies may have an adverse impact on us.

As of December 31, 2016, we had loans outstanding to construction companies, shipbuilding companies and shipping companies (many of which aresmall- andmedium-sized enterprises) in the amount of ￦3,346 billion, ￦713 billion and ￦417 billion, or 1.2%, 0.3% and 0.2% of our total loans, respectively. We also have other exposures to Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping companies, including in the form of guarantees extended on behalf of such companies (which included confirmed guarantees of ￦509 billion for construction companies, ￦1,436 billion for shipbuilding companies and ￦63 billion for shipping companies as of December 31, 2016) and debt and equity securities of such companies held by us. In the case of construction companies, such exposures include guarantees provided to us by general contractors with respect to financing extended by us for residential and commercial real estate development projects. In the case of shipbuilding companies, such exposures include refund guarantees extended by us on behalf of shipbuilding companies to cover their obligation to return a portion of the ship order contract amount to customers in the event of performance delays or defaults under shipbuilding contracts.

Although the construction industry in Korea has shown signs of recovery since 2015, excessive investment in residential property development projects, the recent strengthening of mortgage lending regulations by the

14

Korean government, stagnation of real property prices and reduced demand for residential property, especially in areas outside of Seoul, are expected to continue to negatively impact the construction industry. The shipbuilding industry in Korea has experienced a severe downturn in recent years reflecting a significant decrease in ship orders, primarily due to adverse conditions in the global economy and the resulting slowdown in global trade. In the case of shipping companies in Korea, reduced shipping rates and high chartering costs, together with the slowdown in global trade, have contributed to the deterioration of their financial condition, requiring some of them to file for bankruptcy or pursue voluntary restructuring of their debt.

In response to the deteriorating financial condition and liquidity position of borrowers in the construction, shipbuilding and shipping industries, which were disproportionately impacted by adverse economic developments in Korea and globally, the Korean government implemented a program in 2009 to promote expedited restructuring of such borrowers by their Korean creditor financial institutions, under the supervision of major commercial banks. In accordance with such program, 24 construction companies and five shipbuilding companies became subject to workout in 2009, following review by their creditor financial institutions (including us) and the Korean government. Each year since 2009, the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service have announced the results of subsequent credit risk evaluations conducted by creditor financial institutions (including us) of companies in Korea with outstanding credit exposures of ￦50 billion or more, pursuant to which a number of companies were selected by such financial institutions for restructuring in the form of workout, liquidation or court receivership. Most recently, in 2016, 32 companies with outstanding credit exposures of ￦50 billion or more (six of which were construction companies and nine of which were shipbuilding and shipping companies) were selected by such financial institutions for restructuring. However, there is no assurance that these measures will be successful in stabilizing the Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping industries.

The allowances that we have established against our credit exposures to Korean construction, shipbuilding and shipping companies may not be sufficient to cover all future losses arising from these and other exposures. If the credit quality of our exposures to such companies declines further, we may be required to take substantial additional provisions (including in connection with restructurings of such companies), which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. See “—Risks relating to our large corporate loan portfolio—We have exposure to companies that are currently or may in the future be put in restructuring, and we may suffer losses as a result of additional loan loss provisions required and/or the adoption of restructuring plans with which we do not agree.” Furthermore, although a portion of our credit exposures to construction, shipbuilding and shipping companies are secured by collateral, such collateral may not be sufficient to cover uncollectible amounts in respect of such credit exposures. See “—Other risks relating to our business—A decline in the value of the collateral securing our loans and our inability to realize full collateral value may adversely affect our credit portfolio.”

Risks relating to our financial holding company structure and strategy

We may not succeed in implementing our strategy to take advantage of, or fail to realize the anticipated benefits of, our financial holding company structure.

One of our principal strategies is to take advantage of our financial holding company structure to become a comprehensive financial services provider capable of offering a full range of products and services to our large existing base of retail and corporate banking customers. The continued implementation of these plans may require additional investments of capital, infrastructure, human resources and management attention. This strategy entails certain risks, including the possibility that we may face significant competition from other financial holding companies and more specialized financial institutions in particular segments. If our strategy does not succeed, we may incur losses on our investments and our results of operations and financial condition may suffer.

Furthermore, our success under a financial holding company structure depends on our ability to realize the anticipated synergies, growth opportunities and cost savings from coordinating the businesses of our various

15

subsidiaries. Although we have been integrating certain aspects of our subsidiaries’ operations into our financial holding company structure, our subsidiaries will generally continue to operate as independent entities with separate management and staff and our ability to direct our subsidiaries’day-to-day operations may be limited.

In addition, one of the intended benefits of our financial holding company structure is that it enhances our ability to engage in mergers and acquisitions which we decide to pursue as part of our strategy. For example, in March 2014, we acquired 52.02% of the outstanding shares of KB Capital Co., Ltd. (formerly named Woori Financial Co., Ltd.), a publicly listed Korean consumer finance company, from Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. for ￦280 billion. In addition, in June 2015, we acquired 19.47% of the outstanding shares of KB Insurance Co., Ltd. (formerly named LIG Insurance Co., Ltd.), a publicly listed Korean property and casualty insurance company, from a group of individual shareholders for ￦651 billion. In November 2015, we increased our shareholding in KB Insurance to 33.29% by acquiring its treasury shares for ￦231 billion, and in December 2016, we further increased our shareholding in KB Insurance to 39.81% by purchasing new shares of KB Insurance for ￦171 billion in a rights offering. Furthermore, in May 2016, we acquired 22.56% of the outstanding shares of Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd., a publicly listed Korean securities firm, from Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. and other shareholders for ￦1,242 billion, and further increased our shareholding in Hyundai Securities to 29.62% in June 2016 by acquiring treasury shares of Hyundai Securities for ￦107 billion. In October 2016, we increased our shareholding in Hyundai Securities to 100% by effecting a comprehensive stock swap of the outstanding shares of Hyundai Securities for 31,759,844 newly issued shares of common stock of our company, as a result of which Hyundai Securities became a consolidated subsidiary. Following such transaction, we merged an existing subsidiary, KB Investment & Securities, with and into Hyundai Securities in December 2016 and changed the name of the surviving entity to KB Securities Co., Ltd. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Overview—Acquisitions.”

We may continue to increase our equity interest in our subsidiaries or investees and may also consider acquiring or merging with other financial institutions to achieve more balanced growth and further diversify our revenue base. For example, we are seeking to increase our equity interest in KB Capital and KB Insurance to 100% and to convert such entities to wholly owned subsidiaries, through tender offers scheduled to expire in May 2017 and comprehensive stock swaps scheduled to be completed in July 2017, which may result in substantial costs as well as potential dilution of the interests of existing holders of our common stock. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Overview—Acquisitions.” The integration of our new subsidiaries’ or investees’ separate businesses and operations, as well as those of any companies we may acquire or merge with in the future, under our financial holding company structure could require a significant amount of time, financial resources and management attention. Moreover, that process could disrupt our operations (including our risk management operations) or information technology systems, reduce employee morale, produce unintended inconsistencies in our standards, controls, procedures or policies, and affect our relationships with customers and our ability to retain key personnel. The realization of the anticipated benefits of our financial holding company structure and any mergers or acquisitions we decide to pursue may be blocked, delayed or reduced as a result of many factors, some of which may be outside our control. These factors include:

• difficulties in integrating the diverse activities and operations of our subsidiaries or investees or any companies we may merge with or acquire, including risk management operations and information technology systems, personnel, policies and procedures;

• difficulties in reorganizing or reducing overlapping personnel, branches, networks and administrative functions;

• restrictions under the Financial Holding Company Act and other regulations on transactions between a financial holding company and, or among, its subsidiaries;

• unforeseen contingent risks, including lack of required capital resources, increased tax liabilities or restrictions in our overseas operations, relating to our financial holding company structure;

• unexpected business disruptions;

16

• failure to attract, develop and retain personnel with necessary expertise;

• loss of customers; and

• labor unrest.

Accordingly, we may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of our financial holding company structure, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer as a result.

We depend on limited forms of funding to fund our operations at the holding company level.

We are a financial holding company with no significant assets other than the shares of our subsidiaries. Our primary sources of funding and liquidity are dividends from our subsidiaries, direct borrowings and issuances of equity or debt securities at the holding company level. In addition, as a financial holding company, we are required to meet certain minimum financial ratios under Korean law, including with respect to liquidity, leverage and capital adequacy.Our ability to meet our obligations to our direct creditors and employees and our other liquidity needs and regulatory requirements at the holding company level depends on timely and adequate distributions from our subsidiaries and our ability to sell our securities or obtain credit from our lenders.

The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us depends on their financial condition and operating results. In the future, our subsidiaries may enter into agreements, such as credit agreements with lenders or indentures relating tohigh-yield or subordinated debt instruments, that impose restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, and the terms of future obligations and the operation of Korean law could prevent our subsidiaries from making sufficient distributions to us to allow us to make payments on our outstanding obligations. See “—As a financial holding company, we depend on receiving dividends from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our common stock.” Any delay in receipt of or shortfall in payments to us from our subsidiaries could result in our inability to meet our liquidity needs and regulatory requirements, including minimum liquidity and capital adequacy ratios, and may disrupt our operations at the holding company level.

In addition, creditors of our subsidiaries will generally have claims that are prior to any claims of our creditors with respect to their assets. Furthermore, our inability to sell our securities or obtain funds from our lenders on favorable terms, or at all, could also result in our inability to meet our liquidity needs and regulatory requirements and may disrupt our operations at the holding company level.

As a financial holding company, we depend on receiving dividends from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our common stock.

Since our principal assets at the holding company level are the shares of our subsidiaries, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock largely depends on dividend payments from those subsidiaries. Those dividend payments are subject to the Korean Commercial Code, the Bank Act and regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and retained earnings, imposed by the various regulatory agencies with authority over those entities. For example:

• under the Korean Commercial Code, dividends may only be paid out of distributable income, an amount which is calculated by subtracting the aggregate amount of a company’spaid-in capital and certain mandatory legal reserves as well as certain unrealized profits from its net assets, in each case as of the end of the prior fiscal period;

• under the Bank Act, a bank also must credit at least 10% of its net profit to a legal reserve each time it pays dividends on distributable income until that reserve equals the amount of its totalpaid-in capital; and

• under the Bank Act and the requirements of the Financial Services Commission, if a bank fails to meet its required capital adequacy ratio or otherwise becomes subject to management improvement measures imposed by the Financial Services Commission, then the Financial Services Commission may restrict the declaration and payment of dividends by that bank.

17

Our subsidiaries may not continue to meet the applicable legal and regulatory requirements for the payment of dividends in the future. If they fail to do so, they may stop paying or reduce the amount of the dividends they pay to us, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

Although increasing our fee income is an important part of our strategy, we may not be able to do so.

We have historically relied on interest income as our primary revenue source. While we have developed new sources of fee income as part of our business strategy, our ability to increase our fee income and thereby reduce our dependence on interest income will be affected by the extent to which our customers generally accept the concept offee-based services. Historically, customers in Korea have generally been reluctant to pay fees in return forvalue-added financial services, and their continued reluctance to do so will adversely affect the implementation of our strategy to increase our fee income. Furthermore, the fees that we charge to customers are subject to regulation by Korean financial regulatory authorities, which may seek to implement regulations or measures that may also have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve this aspect of our strategy.

We may suffer customer attrition or our net interest margin may decrease as a result of our competition strategy.

We have been pursuing, and intend to continue to pursue, a strategy of maintaining or enhancing our margins where possible and avoid, to the extent possible, entering into price competition. In order to execute this strategy, we will need to maintain relatively low interest rates on our deposit products while charging relatively higher rates on loans. If other banks and financial institutions adopt a strategy of expanding market share through interest rate competition, we may suffer customer attrition due to rate sensitivity. In addition, we may in the future decide to compete to a greater extent based on interest rates, which could lead to a decrease in our net interest margins. Any future decline in our customer base or our net interest margins as a result of our future competition strategy could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Risks relating to competition

Competition in the Korean financial industry is intense, and we may lose market share and experience declining margins as a result.

Competition in the Korean financial industry has been and is likely to remain intense. Some of the financial institutions that we compete with have longer operating histories as financial holding companies, greater financial resources or more specialized capabilities than us and our subsidiaries. In the retail andsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise lending business, which has been our traditional core business, competition has increased significantly and is expected to increase further. Most Korean banks have been focusing on retail customers andsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises in recent years, although they have begun to generally increase their exposure to large corporate borrowers. In addition, the profitability of our retail lending and credit card operations may decline as a result of growing market saturation in the retail lending and credit card segments, increased interest rate competition, pressure to lower the fee rates applicable to our credit cards (particularly merchant fee rates) and higher marketing expenses. Intense and increasing competition has made and continues to make it more difficult for us to secure retail, credit card andsmall- andmedium-sized customers with the credit quality and on credit terms necessary to achieve our business objectives in a commercially acceptable manner.

In addition, we believe that regulatory reforms and the general modernization of business practices in Korea will lead to increased competition among financial institutions in Korea. In the second half of 2015, the Korean government implemented measures to facilitate bank account portability of retail customers by requiring commercial banks to establish systems that allow retail customers to easily switch their bank accounts at one commercial bank to another and automatically transfer the automatic payment settings of their former accounts to the new ones. Such measures are expected to further intensify competition among financial institutions in Korea.

18

Moreover, in March 2016, the Financial Services Commission introduced an individual savings account scheme in Korea, which enables individuals to efficiently manage a wide range of retail investment vehicles, including cash deposits, funds and securities investment products, from a single integrated account with one financial institution and offers tax benefits on investment returns. Since the scheme backed by the Korean government allows only one individual savings account per person, financial institutions have been competing to retain existing customers and attract new customers since the launch of the individual savings account scheme. Over 30 financial institutions, including banks, securities companies and insurance companies, have registered with the Financial Services Commission to sell their individual savings account products and competition among these financial institutions is expected to remain intense.

Furthermore, the introduction of Internet primary banks in Korea is expected to increase competition in the Korean banking industry. Internet primary banks operate with only a small number of or without branches and conduct most of their operations through electronic means, which enable them to minimize costs and offer customers higher interest rates on deposits or lower lending rates. In April 2017, KBank, the first Internet primary bank in Korea, commenced operations. Kakao Bank, another Internet primary bank, in which we hold a 10% equity interest, is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2017.

Moreover, a number of significant mergers and acquisitions in the industry have taken place in Korea in recent years, including Hana Financial Group’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Korea Exchange Bank in February 2012 and the subsequent merger of Hana Bank into Korea Exchange Bank in September 2015. In addition, as part of the Korean government’s plans to privatize Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the former financial holding company of Woori Bank), certain subsidiaries of Woori Finance Holdings were sold to other financial institutions and Woori Finance Holdings itself was merged into Woori Bank in 2014. Most recently, in April 2016, Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. acquired a 43% interest in KDB Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., which changed its name to Mirae Asset Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., and in December 2016, Mirae Asset Securities merged with and into Mirae Asset Daewoo Securities to become the largest securities company in Korea in terms of capital.

We expect that consolidation in the Korean financial industry will continue. The financial institutions resulting from such consolidation may, by virtue of their increased size and business scope, provide significantly greater competition for us. We also believe that foreign financial institutions, many of which have greater experience and resources than we do, may seek to compete with us in providing financial products and services either by themselves or in partnership with existing Korean financial institutions. Increased competition and continuing consolidation may lead to decreased margins, resulting in a material adverse impact on our future profitability. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition may suffer as a result of increasing competition in the Korean financial industry.

Risks relating to our large corporate loan portfolio

We have exposure to chaebols, and, as a result, financial difficulties of chaebols may have an adverse impact on us.

Of our 20 largest corporate exposures (including loans, debt and equity securities and guarantees and acceptances) as of December 31, 2016, 13 were to companies that were members of the 39 largest highly-indebted business groups amongchaebols in Korea designated as such by the Financial Supervisory Service based on their outstanding exposures. As of that date, the total amount of our exposures to 37 of such largest highly-indebted business groups amongchaebols was ￦23,555 billion, or 6.8% of our total exposures. If the credit quality of our exposures tochaebols declines as a result of financial difficulties they experience or for other reasons, we could require substantial additional loan loss provisions, which would hurt our results of operations and financial condition. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Loan Portfolio—Exposure to Chaebols.”

19

We cannot assure you that the allowances we have established against these exposures will be sufficient to cover all future losses arising from these exposures. In addition, with respect to those companies that are in or in the future enter into workout or liquidation proceedings, we may not be able to make any recoveries against such companies. We may, therefore, experience future losses with respect to those loans.

We have exposure to companies that are currently or may in the future be put in restructuring, and we may suffer losses as a result of additional loan loss provisions required and/or the adoption of restructuring plans with which we do not agree.

As of December 31, 2016, our loans and guarantees to companies that were in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation amounted to ￦492 billion or 0.2% of our total loans and guarantees, most of which was classified as impaired. As of the same date, our allowances for credit losses on these loans and guarantees amounted to ￦280 billion, or 56.9% of these loans and guarantees. These allowances may not be sufficient to cover all future losses arising from our exposure to these companies. Furthermore, we have other exposure to such companies, in the form of debt and equity securities of such companies held by us (including equity securities we acquired as a result ofdebt-to-equity conversions). Our exposures as of December 31, 2016 with respect to such securities of companies in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation amounted to ￦75 billion, or less than 0.1% of our total debt securities and equity securities, but may increase in the future. In addition, in the case of borrowers that are or become subject to workout or restructuring, we may be forced to restructure our credits pursuant to restructuring plans approved by other creditor financial institutions of the borrower, or to dispose of our credits to other creditors on unfavorable terms.

In particular, as of December 31, 2016, we had ￦665 billion of outstanding exposures, comprising ￦124 billion of loans, ￦18 billion of debt securities and ￦523 billion of guarantees (mainly in the form of refund guarantees relating to shipbuilding contracts), to Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., or DSME, which is pursuing a voluntary restructuring program. In April 2017, the creditors of DSME agreed on a plan to provide additional financial support to DSME in connection with its voluntary restructuring program, under which Korea Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of Korea would provide ￦2.9 trillion of new loans to DSME, on the condition that DSME’s other creditors and bondholders agree to a ￦2.9 trilliondebt-to-equity swap. The financial support plan requires the Korean commercial bank creditors of DSME (including us) to swap 80% of our outstanding unsecured loans into equity of DSME and extend the maturity of the remaining loans for a period of three years. The financial support plan may also require DSME’s creditors (including us) to provide additional refund guarantees in connection with future shipbuilding contracts of DSME. The implementation of the financial support plan for DSME may require us to increase our loan loss provisions and recognize write-offs and impairment losses with respect to our exposures to DSME and may therefore have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the plan will be successful in ensuring the financial viability of DSME.

A large portion of our credit exposure is concentrated in a relatively small number of large corporate borrowers, which increases the risk of our corporate credit portfolio.

As of December 31, 2016, our loans and guarantees to our 20 largest borrowers totaled ￦7,223 billion and accounted for 2.6% of our total loans and guarantees. As of that date, our single largest corporate credit exposure was to KEB Hana Bank, to which we had outstanding loans and guarantees (the majority of which was in the form of loans in foreign currencies) of ￦1,069 billion, representing 0.4% of our total loans and guarantees, as well as additional credit exposure of ￦871 billion in the form of debt securities. Any deterioration in the financial condition of KEB Hana Bank or our other large corporate borrowers may require us to record substantial additional provisions and charge-offs and may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Other risks relating to our business

Difficult conditions in the global financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The overall prospects for the Korean and global economy remain uncertain. In recent years, the global financial markets have experienced significant volatility as a result of, among other things:

• the financial difficulties affecting many governments worldwide, in particular in Europe and Latin America;

• the slowdown of economic growth in China and other major emerging market economies;

• interest rate fluctuations as well as the possibility of further increases in policy rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks; and

• political and social instability in various countries in the Middle East, including Syria, Iraq and Yemen, as well as the recent referendum in the United Kingdom in June 2016, in which a majority of voters voted in favor of an exit from the European Union, or Brexit.

In light of the high level of interdependence of the global economy, difficult conditions in the global financial markets, including as a result of any of the foregoing developments, could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and financial markets, and in turn on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also exposed to adverse changes and volatility in global and Korean financial markets as a result of our liabilities and assets denominated in foreign currencies and our holdings of trading and investment securities, including structured products. The value of the Won relative to major foreign currencies in general and the U.S. dollar in particular has fluctuated widely in recent years. See “Item 3.A. Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates.” A depreciation of the Won will increase our cost in Won of servicing our foreigncurrency-denominated debt, while continued exchange rate volatility may also result in foreign exchange losses for us. Furthermore, as a result of adverse global and Korean economic conditions, there has been significant volatility in securities prices, including the stock prices of Korean and foreign companies in which we hold an interest. Such volatility has resulted in and may lead to further trading and valuation losses on our trading and investment securities portfolio as well as impairment losses on our investments accounted for under the equity method.

Our business may be materially and adversely affected by legal claims and regulatory actions against us.

We are subject to the risk of legal claims and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of our business, which may expose us to substantial monetary damages and legal costs, injunctive relief, criminal and civil penalties, sanctions against our management and employees and regulatory restrictions on our operations, as well as significant reputational harm.

In July 2012, the Korea Fair Trade Commission commenced an investigation into alleged collusion among domestic financial institutions, including banks and securities companies, in setting interest rates applicable to three-month certificates of deposit. Such rates were used as a benchmark for banks’ lending rates until a new benchmark rate for bank lending was introduced in December 2012. In February 2016, the Korea Fair Trade Commission sent its formal written report of findings to six commercial banks, including Kookmin Bank, and the respondents submitted their response briefs in April 2016. In July 2016, citing insufficient evidence to prove violation of Korean fair trade laws, the Korea Fair Trade Commission announced that it has decided to terminate its investigation. However, the Korea Fair Trade Commission noted that it could resume its investigation in the future if it finds sufficient evidence to prove that the domestic commercial banks violated Korean fair trade laws.

In addition, in February 2014, the Financial Services Commission suspended the new credit card issuance and other related activities of KB Kookmin Card for three months from February to May 2014, in response to an

21

incident involving the misappropriation of the personal information of a large number of its customers by an employee of the Korea Credit Bureau in the first half of 2013. In connection with the incident, a number of customers have filed lawsuits against KB Kookmin Card seeking damages, and it could become subject to additional litigation. See “Item 8A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal Proceedings.”

We are unable to predict the outcome of these and other legal claims and regulatory actions in which we are involved, and the scope of the claims or actions or the total amount in dispute in such matters may increase. Furthermore, adverse final determinations, decisions or resolutions in such matters could encourage other parties to bring related claims and actions against us. Accordingly, the outcome of current and future legal claims and regulatory actions, particularly those for which it is difficult to assess the maximum potential exposure or the ultimate adverse impact with any degree of certainty, may materially and adversely impact our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

Our risk management system may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss.

We seek to monitor and manage our risk exposure through agroup-wide risk management platform, encompassing amulti-layered risk management governance structure, reporting and monitoring systems, early warning systems, credit risk management systems for our banking operations and other risk management infrastructure, using a variety of risk management strategies and techniques. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” However, such risk management strategies and techniques employed by us and the judgments that accompany their application cannot anticipate the economic and financial outcome in all market environments, and many of our risk management strategies and techniques have a basis in historic market behavior that may limit the effectiveness of such strategies and techniques in times of significant market stress or other unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, our risk management strategies may not be effective in a difficult or less liquid market environment, as other market participants may be attempting to use the same or similar strategies as us to deal with such market conditions. In such circumstances, it may be difficult for us to reduce our risk positions due to the activity of such other market participants.

We are generally subject to Korean corporate governance and disclosure standards, which may differ from those in other countries.

Companies in Korea, including us, are subject to corporate governance standards applicable to Korean public companies which may differ in some respects from standards applicable in other countries, including the United States. As a reporting company registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we are subject to certain corporate governance standards as mandated by theSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, foreign private issuers, including us, are exempt from certain corporate governance requirements under theSarbanes-Oxley Act or under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. There may also be less publicly available information about Korean companies, such as us, than is regularly made available by public ornon-public companies in other countries. Such differences in corporate governance standards and less public information could result in corporate governance practices or disclosures that are perceived as less than satisfactory by investors in certain countries.

A decline in the value of the collateral securing our loans and our inability to realize full collateral value may adversely affect our credit portfolio.

A substantial portion of our loans is secured by real estate, the values of which have fluctuated significantly in recent years. Although it is our general policy to lend up to 40% to 80% of the appraised value of collateral (except in areas of high speculation designated by the government where we generally limit our lending to between 40% to 60% of the appraised value of collateral) and to periodicallyre-appraise our collateral, the downturn in the real estate market in Korea in recent years has resulted in declines in the value of the collateral securing our mortgage and home equity loans. If collateral values decline further in the future, they may not be

22

sufficient to cover uncollectible amounts in respect of our secured loans. Any future declines in the value of the real estate or other collateral securing our loans, or our inability to obtain additional collateral in the event of such declines, could result in a deterioration in our asset quality and may require us to take additional loan loss provisions.

In Korea, foreclosure on collateral generally requires a written petition to a court. An application, when made, may be subject to delays and administrative requirements that may result in a decrease in the value realized with respect to such collateral. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to realize the full value on our collateral as a result of, among other factors, delays in foreclosure proceedings and defects in the perfection of our security interest in collateral. Our failure to recover the expected value of collateral could expose us to losses.

The secondary market for corporate bonds in Korea is not fully developed, and, as a result, we may not be able to realize the full“marked-to-market” value of debt securities we hold at the time of any sale of such securities.

As of December 31, 2016, we held debt securities issued by Korean companies and financial institutions (other than those issued by Korea Housing Finance Corporation, the Bank of Korea, Korea Development Bank, Korea Land & Housing Corporation, Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation and Industrial Bank of Korea, which aregovernment-owned or-controlled enterprises or financial institutions) with a total carrying amount of ￦23,713 billion in our trading and investment securities portfolio. The market value of these securities could decline significantly due to various factors, including future increases in interest rates or a deterioration in the financial and economic condition of any particular issuer or of Korea in general. Any of these factors individually or a combination of these factors would require us to write down the fair value of these debt securities, resulting in impairment losses. Because the secondary market for corporate bonds in Korea is not fully developed, the market value of many of these securities as reflected on our statements of financial position is determined by references to suggested prices posted by Korean rating agencies or the Korea Financial Investment Association. These valuations, however, may differ significantly from the actual value that we could realize in the event we elect to sell these securities. As a result, we may not be able to realize the full“marked-to-market” value at the time of any such sale of these securities and thus may incur losses.

We may be required to make transfers from our general banking operations to cover shortfalls in our guaranteed trust accounts, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We manage a number of money trust accounts through Kookmin Bank, our banking subsidiary. Under Korean law, trust account assets of a bank are required to be segregated from the assets of that bank’s general banking operations. Those assets are not available to satisfy the claims of a bank’s depositors or other creditors of its general banking operations. For some of the trust accounts we manage, we have guaranteed either the principal amount of the investor’s investment or the principal and a fixed rate of interest.

If, at any time, the income from our guaranteed trust accounts is not sufficient to pay any guaranteed amount, we will have to cover the shortfall first from the special reserves maintained in these trust accounts, then from our fees from such trust accounts and finally from funds transferred from our general banking operations. As of December 31, 2016, we had ￦103 billion of special reserves in respect of trust accounts for which we provided guarantees of principal. There was no transfer from general banking operations to cover deficiencies in guaranteed trust accounts in 2014, 2015 and 2016. However, we may be required to make transfers from our general banking operations to cover shortfalls, if any, in our guaranteed trust accounts in the future. Such transfers may adversely impact our results of operations.

Our operations have been, and will continue to be, subject to increasing and continually evolving cybersecurity and other technological risks.

With the proliferation of new technologies and the increasing use of the Internet and mobile devices to conduct financial transactions, our operations as a large financial institution have been, and will continue to be,

23

subject to an increasing risk of cyber incidents relating to these activities, the nature of which is continually evolving. Our computer systems, software and networks are subject to cyber incidents, such as disruptions, delays or other difficulties from our information technology system, computer viruses or other malicious codes, loss or destruction of data (including confidential client information), unauthorized access, account takeover attempts and cyber attacks. A significant portion of our daily operations relies on our information technology systems, including customer service, billing, the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information as well as the timely monitoring of a large number of complex transactions. Although we have made substantial and continuous investments to build systems and defenses to address cybersecurity and other technological risks, there is no guarantee that such measures or any other measures can provide adequate security. In addition, because methods used to cause cyber attacks change frequently or, in some cases, are not recognized until launched, we may be unable to implement effective preventive measures or proactively address these methods. Furthermore, these cyber threats may arise from human error, accidental technological failure and third parties with whom we do business. Although we maintain insurance coverage that may cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses. If we were to be subject to a cyber incident, it could result in the disclosure of confidential client information, damage to our reputation with our customers and in the market, customer dissatisfaction, additional costs to us, regulatory penalties, exposure to litigation and other financial losses to both us and our customers, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Risks relating to liquidity and capital management

A considerable increase in interest rates could decrease the value of our debt securities portfolio and raise our funding costs while reducing loan demand and the repayment ability of our borrowers, which, as a result, could adversely affect us.

Interest rates in Korea have been subject to significant fluctuations in recent years. In an effort to stem inflation amid improved growth prospects, the Bank of Korea gradually increased its policy rate in 2010 and 2011 by a total of 125 basis points to 3.25%. However, the Bank of Korea reduced its policy rate to 2.00% through a series of reductions from 2012 to 2014 to support Korea’s economy in light of the slowdown in Korea’s growth and uncertain global economic prospects. The Bank of Korea further reduced its policy rate to 1.50% in 2015 and again to an unprecedented 1.25% in June 2016 amid deflationary concerns and interest rate cuts by central banks around the world. All else being equal, an increase in interest rates in the future could lead to a decline in the value of our portfolio of debt securities, which generally pay interest based on a fixed rate. A sustained increase in interest rates will also raise our funding costs, while reducing loan demand, especially among consumers. Rising interest rates may therefore require us tore-balance our asset portfolio and our liabilities in order to minimize the risk of potential mismatches and maintain our profitability.

In addition, rising interest rate levels may adversely affect the Korean economy and the financial condition of our corporate and retail borrowers, including holders of our credit cards, which in turn may lead to a deterioration in our credit portfolio. Since most of our retail and corporate loans bear interest at rates that adjust periodically based on prevailing market rates, a sustained increase in interest rate levels will increase the interest costs of our retail and corporate borrowers and could adversely affect their ability to make payments on their outstanding loans.

Our funding is highly dependent onshort-term deposits, which dependence may adversely affect our operations.

We meet a significant amount of our funding requirements throughshort-term funding sources, which consist primarily of customer deposits. As of December 31, 2016, approximately 94.6% of our deposits had maturities of one year or less or were payable on demand. In the past, a substantial proportion of our customer deposits have been rolled over upon maturity. We cannot guarantee, however, that depositors will continue to roll over their deposits in the future. In the event that a substantial number of ourshort-term deposit customers

24

withdraw their funds or fail to roll over their deposits ashigher-yielding investment opportunities emerge, our liquidity position could be adversely affected. We may also be required to seek more expensive sources ofshort-term andlong-term funding to finance our operations. See “Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition—Liquidity.”

We may be required to raise additional capital if our capital adequacy ratio deteriorates or the applicable capital requirements change in the future, but we may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all.

Under the capital adequacy requirements of the Financial Services Commission, as of December 31, 2016, both we and Kookmin Bank, our banking subsidiary, were required to maintain a total minimum common equity Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 5.375%, Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 6.875% and combined Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratio of 8.875%, on a consolidated basis (including applicable additional capital buffers and requirements as described below). As of December 31, 2016, our common equity Tier I capital, Tier I capital and combined Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratios were 14.25%, 14.37% and 15.27%, respectively, and Kookmin Bank’s common equity Tier I capital, Tier I capital and combined Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratios were 14.83%, 14.83% and 16.32%, respectively, all of which exceeded the minimum levels required by the Financial Services Commission. However, our capital base and capital adequacy ratios may deteriorate in the future if our results of operations or financial condition deteriorates for any reason, including as a result of a deterioration in the asset quality of our retail loans (including credit card balances) and loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, or if we are not able to deploy our funding into suitablylow-risk assets.

The current capital adequacy requirements of the Financial Services Commission are derived from a new set of bank capital measures, referred to as Basel III, which the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision initially introduced in 2009 and began phasing in starting from 2013. Commencing in July 2013, the Financial Services Commission promulgated a series of amended regulations implementing Basel III, pursuant to which Korean banks and bank holding companies were required to maintain a minimum ratio of common equity Tier I capital (which principally includes equity capital, capital surplus and retained earnings) torisk-weighted assets of 3.5% and Tier I capital torisk-weighted assets of 4.5% from December 1, 2013, which minimum ratios were increased to 4.0% and 5.5%, respectively, from January 1, 2014 and increased further to 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively, from January 1, 2015. Such requirements are in addition to thepre-existing requirement for a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) torisk-weighted assets of 8.0%, which remains unchanged. The amended regulations also require an additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625% in 2016 and 1.25% in 2017, with such buffer to increase in stages to 2.5% by 2019, as well as a potential counter-cyclical capital buffer of up to 2.5% by 2019, which is determined on a quarterly basis by the Financial Services Commission. Furthermore, we were designated as one of five domestic systemically important banks for 2016 by the Financial Services Commission and were subject to an additional capital requirement of 0.25% in 2016. In December 2016, we were again designated as a domestic systemically important bank for 2017, which would subject us to an additional capital requirement of 0.50% in 2017, if deemed necessary, with such potential requirement to increase in stages to 1.0% by 2019. The implementation of Basel III in Korea may have a significant effect on the capital requirements of Korean financial institutions, including us. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Capital Adequacy” and “—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Capital Adequacy.”

We may be required to obtain additional capital in the future in order to remain in compliance with more stringent capital adequacy and other regulatory requirements. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to obtain additional capital at any time may be constrained to the extent that banks or other financial institutions in Korea or from other Asian countries are seeking to raise capital at the same time. To the extent that we fail to comply with applicable capital adequacy ratio or other regulatory requirements in the future, Korean regulatory authorities may impose penalties on us ranging from a warning to suspension or revocation of our banking license.

Risks relating to government regulation and policy

Strengthening of consumer protection laws applicable to financial institutions could adversely affect our operations.

As a financial service provider, we are subject to a variety of regulations in Korea that are designed to protect financial consumers. In recent years, in light of heightened public concern regarding privacy issues, the Korean government has placed greater emphasis on protection of personal information by financial institutions and has implemented a number of measures to enhance consumer protection, including considerably restricting a financial institution’s ability to transfer or provide personal information to its affiliates or holding company. Under the Personal Information Protection Act, as currently enforced, financial institutions, as personal information managers, may not collect, store, maintain, utilize or provide resident registration numbers of their customers, unless other laws or regulations specifically require or permit the management of resident registration numbers. In addition, under the Use and Protection of Credit Information Act, as currently enforced, a financial institution has a higher duty to protect all information that it collects from its customers and is required to treat such information as credit information. Treble damages may be imposed on a financial institution for leakage of such information. Furthermore, under the Electronic Financial Transaction Act, as currently enforced, a financial institution is primarily responsible for compensating its customers harmed by a cyber security breach affecting the financial institution even if the breach is not directly attributable to the financial institution.

Most recently, in June 2016, the Financial Services Commission proposed the enactment of the Act on the Financial Consumer Protection Framework, which is expected to be submitted to the Korean National Assembly in 2017. If the act is adopted as proposed, we as a financial instrument distributor will be subject to heightened investor protection measures, including stricter distribution guidelines, improved financial dispute resolution procedures, increased liability for customer losses and newly imposed penalty surcharges.

These and other measures that may be implemented by the Korean government to strengthen consumer protection laws applicable to financial institutions may limit our operational flexibility and cause us to incur significant additional compliance costs, as well as subject us to increased potential liability to our customers, which could adversely affect our business and performance.

The Korean government may promote lending and financial support by the Korean financial industry to certain types of borrowers as a matter of policy, which financial institutions, including us, may decide to follow.

Through its policies and recommendations, the Korean government has promoted and, as a matter of policy, may continue to attempt to promote lending by the Korean financial industry to particular types of borrowers. For example, the Korean government has in the past provided and may continue to provide policy loans, which encourage lending to particular types of borrowers. It has generally done this by identifying sectors of the economy it wishes to promote and makinglow-interest funding available to financial institutions that may voluntarily choose to lend to these sectors. The government has in this manner provided policy loans intended to promote mortgage lending tolow-income individuals and lending tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. All loans or credits we choose to make pursuant to these policy loans would be subject to review in accordance with our credit approval procedures. However, the availability of policy loans may influence us to lend to certain sectors or in a manner in which we otherwise would not in the absence of such loans from the government.

In the past, the Korean government has also announced policies under which financial institutions in Korea are encouraged to provide financial support to particular sectors. For example, in light of the deteriorating financial condition and liquidity position ofsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises in Korea as a result of the global financial crisis commencing in the second half of 2008 and adverse conditions in the Korean economy affecting consumers, the Korean government introduced measures intended to encourage Korean banks to provide financial support tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprise and retail borrowers. See “—Risks relating to

26

oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise loan portfolio—We have significant exposure tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, and any financial difficulties experienced by these customers may result in a deterioration of our asset quality and have an adverse impact on us.” and “—Risks relating to our retail credit portfolio—Future changes in market conditions as well as other factors may lead to increases in delinquency levels of our retail loan portfolio.” The Korean government may in the future request financial institutions in Korea, including us, to make investments in or provide other forms of financial support to particular sectors of the Korean economy as a matter of policy, which financial institutions, including us, may decide to accept. We may incur costs or losses as a result of providing such financial support.

The Financial Services Commission may impose burdensome measures on us if it deems us or one of our subsidiaries to be financially unsound.

If the Financial Services Commission deems our financial condition or the financial condition of our subsidiaries to be unsound, or if we or our subsidiaries fail to meet applicable regulatory standards, such as minimum capital adequacy and liquidity ratios, the Financial Services Commission may order or recommend, among other things:

• capital increases or reductions;

• stock cancellations or consolidations;

• transfers of businesses;

• sales of assets;

• closures of subsidiaries or branch offices;

• mergers with other financial institutions; and

• suspensions of a part of our business operations.

If any of these measures is imposed on us by the Financial Services Commission, they could hurt our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if the Financial Services Commission orders us to partially or completely reduce our capital, you may lose part or all of your investment.

Risks relating to Korea

Escalations in tensions with North Korea could have an adverse effect on us and the market price of our ADSs.

Relations between Korea and North Korea have been tense throughout Korea’s modern history. The level of tension between the two Koreas has fluctuated and may increase abruptly as a result of current and future events. In particular, since the death of KimJong-il in December 2011, there has been increased uncertainty with respect to the future of North Korea’s political leadership and concern regarding its implications for political and economic stability in the region. Although KimJong-il’s third son, KimJong-eun, has assumed power as his father’s designated successor, thelong-term outcome of such leadership transition remains uncertain.

In addition, there have been heightened security concerns in recent years stemming from North Korea’s nuclear weapon andlong-range missile programs as well as its hostile military actions against Korea. Some of the significant incidents in recent years include the following:

• From time to time, North Korea has conducted ballistic missile tests. In February 2016, North Korea launched along-range rocket in violation of its agreement with the United States as well as United Nations sanctions barring it from conducting launches that use ballistic missile technology. Despite international condemnation, North Korea released a statement that it intends to continue its rocket launch program and it conducted additional ballistic missile tests in June 2016, a submarine-launched

27

ballistic missile test in August 2016 andintermediate-range ballistic missile tests in February, March and April 2017. In response, the United Nations Security Council has issued unanimous statements condemning North Korea and agreeing to continue to closely monitor the situation and to take further significant measures.

• North Korea renounced its obligations under the NuclearNon-Proliferation Treaty in January 2003 and conducted three rounds of nuclear tests between October 2006 and February 2013, which increased tensions in the region and elicited strong objections worldwide. In January 2016, North Korea conducted a fourth nuclear test, claiming that the test involved its first hydrogen bomb, which claim has not been independently verified. In response to such test (as well as North Korea’s long-range rocket launch in February 2016), the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution in March 2016 condemning North Korea’s actions and significantly expanding the scope of the sanctions applicable to North Korea, while the United States and the European Union also imposed additional sanctions on North Korea. In September 2016, North Korea conducted a fifth nuclear test, claiming to have successfully detonated a nuclear warhead that could be mounted on missiles, which claim has not been independently verified.

• In August 2015, two Korean soldiers were injured in a landmine explosion near the Korean demilitarized zone. Claiming the landmines were set by North Koreans, the Korean army re-initiated its propaganda program toward North Korea utilizing loudspeakers near the demilitarized zone. In retaliation, the North Korean army fired artillery rounds on the loudspeakers, resulting in the highest level of military readiness for both Koreas.

• In March 2010, a Korean naval vessel was destroyed by an underwater explosion, killing many of the crewmen on board. The Korean government formally accused North Korea of causing the sinking, while North Korea denied responsibility. Moreover, in November 2010, North Korea fired more than one hundred artillery shells that hit Korea’s Yeonpyeong Island near the Northern Limit Line, which acts as the de facto maritime boundary between Korea and North Korea on the west coast of the Korean peninsula, causing casualties and significant property damage. The Korean government condemned North Korea for the attack and vowed stern retaliation should there be further provocation.

North Korea’s economy also faces severe challenges, which may further aggravate social and political pressures within North Korea. There can be no assurance that the level of tensions affecting the Korean peninsula will not escalate in the future. Any further increase in tensions, which may occur, for example, if North Korea experiences a leadership crisis,high-level contacts between Korea and North Korea break down or further military hostilities occur, could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the market value of our common stock and ADSs.

Unfavorable financial and economic developments in Korea may have an adverse effect on us.

We are incorporated in Korea, and substantially all of our operations are located in Korea. As a result, we are subject to political, economic, legal and regulatory risks specific to Korea. The economic indicators in Korea in recent years have shown mixed signs of growth and uncertainty, and future growth of the economy is subject to many factors beyond our control.

In recent years, adverse conditions and volatility in the worldwide financial markets, fluctuations in oil and commodity prices and the general weakness of the global economy have contributed to the uncertainty of global economic prospects in general and have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the Korean economy. See “Other risks relating to our business—Difficult conditions in the global financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.” The value of the Won relative to major foreign currencies in general and the U.S. dollar in particular has also fluctuated widely. See “Item 3.A. Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates.” Furthermore, as a result of adverse global and Korean economic conditions, there has been significant volatility in the stock prices of Korean companies in recent years. Future declines in

28

the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (known as the “KOSPI”) and large amounts of sales of Korean securities by foreign investors and subsequent repatriation of the proceeds of such sales may adversely affect the value of the Won, the foreign currency reserves held by financial institutions in Korea, and the ability of Korean companies to raise capital. Any future deterioration of the Korean or global economy could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Developments that could hurt Korea’s economy in the future include:

• adverse conditions or uncertainty in the economies of countries and regions that are important export markets for Korea, such as China, the United States, Europe and Japan, or in emerging market economies in Asia or elsewhere, as well as increased uncertainty in light of a future Brexit;

• adverse changes or volatility in foreign currency reserve levels, commodity prices (including oil prices), exchange rates (including fluctuation of the U.S. dollar, the Euro or the Japanese Yen exchange rates or revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi), interest rates, inflation rates or stock markets;

• increased sovereign default risks in select countries and the resulting adverse effects on the global financial markets;

• a continuing rise in the level of household debt and increasing delinquencies and credit defaults by retail orsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers in Korea;

• declines in consumer confidence and a slowdown in consumer spending;

• the recent political scandal in Korea involving a confidant of the President and the resulting public protests, as well as related investigations of several Korean conglomerates and their senior management for bribery, embezzlement and other possible misconduct;

• social and labor unrest;

• decreases in the market prices of Korean real estate;

• a decrease in tax revenues and a substantial increase in the Korean government’s expenditures for fiscal stimulus measures, unemployment compensation and other economic and social programs that, together, would lead to an increased government budget deficit;

• financial problems or lack of progress in the restructuring ofchaebols, other large troubled companies and their suppliers;

• loss of investor confidence arising from corporate accounting irregularities, allegations of corruption and corporate governance issues concerning certainchaebols;

• increases in social expenditures to support an aging population in Korea or decreases in economic productivity due to the declining population size in Korea;

• the economic impact of any pending or future free trade agreements;

• geo-political uncertainty and risk of further attacks by terrorist groups around the world;

• natural orman-made disasters that have a significant adverse economic or other impact on Korea (such as the sinking of the Sewol ferry in 2014, which significantly dampened consumer sentiment in Korea) or its major trading partners;

• the occurrence of severe health epidemics in Korea or other parts of the world, such as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak in Korea in 2015;

• deterioration in economic or diplomatic relations between Korea and its trading partners or allies, including deterioration resulting from territorial or trade disputes or disagreements in foreign policy (such as the ongoing controversy between Korea and China regarding the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system in Korea by the United States);

• political uncertainty or increasing strife among or within political parties in Korea;

29

• hostilities or political or social tensions involving oil producing countries in the Middle East and North Africa and any material disruption in the global supply of oil or sudden increase in the price of oil;

• an increase in the level of tensions or an outbreak of hostilities between North Korea and Korea or the United States; and

• changes in financial regulations in Korea.

Political and social unrest surrounding the impeachment of President ParkGeun-hye could adversely affect the Korean economy.

In November 2016, the Korean prosecutor’s office indicted a confidant of President ParkGeun-hye who had allegedly used her ties with the President to extort donations from Korean business groups for twonon-profit foundations over which she is purported to have substantial influence, as well as a number of current and former presidential aides, on charges of, among others, abuse of power, coercion and leaking classified documents. On November 30, 2016, a special independent prosecutor was appointed to conduct an investigation of the extent of the President’s involvement, and mass weekend rallies were held in Seoul and other cities both to protest against, and to express support for, President Park.

On December 9, 2016, the National Assembly voted in favor of impeaching President Park for a number of alleged constitutional and criminal violations, including violation of the Constitution and abuse of power by allowing her confidant to exert influence on state affairs and allowing senior presidential aides to aid in her extortion from companies. President Park was suspended from power immediately, with the prime minister simultaneously taking over the role of acting President. On March 10, 2017, the Constitutional Court unanimously upheld the parliamentary vote to impeach President Park, triggering her immediate dismissal. A special election to elect a new President is scheduled to be held on May 9, 2017. In connection with its investigation of former President Park, the special independent prosecutor also conducted related investigations of several Korean conglomerates and members of their senior management for bribery, embezzlement and other possible misconduct, which the Korean prosecutor’s office has continued following the end of the special independent prosecutor’s term. There is no assurance that such events will not have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy.

Labor unrest in Korea may adversely affect our operations.

Economic difficulties in Korea or increases in corporate reorganizations and bankruptcies could result in layoffs and higher unemployment. Such developments could lead to social unrest and substantially increase government expenditures for unemployment compensation and other costs for social programs. According to statistics from the Korea National Statistical Office, the unemployment rate increased from 3.5% in 2014 to 3.6% in 2015 and 3.7% in 2016. Future increases in unemployment and any resulting labor unrest could adversely affect our operations, as well as the operations of many of our customers and their ability to repay their loans, and could adversely affect the financial condition of Korean companies in general, depressing the price of their securities. These developments would likely have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks relating to our common stock and ADSs

We or our major stockholders may sell shares of our common stock or ADSs in the future, and these and other sales may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and ADSs and may dilute your investment and relative ownership in us.

We have no current plans for any public offerings of our common stock, ADSs or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such securities. However, it is possible that we may decide to offer or sell such securities

30

in the future. In addition, our major stockholder, the Korean National Pension Service, held approximately 9.9% of our total issued common stock as of December 31, 2016, which it may sell at any time.

Any future offerings or sales by us of our common stock or ADSs or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such securities, significant sales of our common stock by a major stockholder, or the public perception that an offering or sales may occur, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and ADSs. Furthermore, any offerings by us in the future of any such securities could have a dilutive impact on your investment and relative ownership interest in us.

Ownership of our common stock is restricted under Korean law.

Under the Financial Holding Company Act, a single stockholder, together with its affiliates, is generally prohibited from owning more than 10.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of a bank holding company such as us that controls a nationwide bank, with the exception of certain stockholders that arenon-financial business group companies, whose applicable limit has been reduced from 9.0% to 4.0% pursuant to an amendment of the Financial Holding Company Act which became effective from February 14, 2014. To the extent that the total number of shares of our common stock (including those represented by ADSs) that a holder and its affiliates own exceeds the applicable limits, that holder will not be entitled to exercise the voting rights for the excess shares, and the Financial Services Commission may order that holder to dispose of the excess shares within a period of up to six months. Failure to comply with such an order would result in an administrative fine of up to 0.03% of the book value of such shares per day until the date of disposal.Non-financial business group companies can no longer acquire more than 4.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of a bank holding company pursuant to the amended Financial Holding Company Act, which grants an exception fornon-financial business group companies which, at the time of the enactment of the amended provisions, held more than 4.0% of the shares thereof with the approval of the Financial Services Commission before the amendment. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Restrictions on Ownership of a Financial Holding Company.”

A holder of our ADSs may not be able to exercise dissent and appraisal rights unless it has withdrawn the underlying shares of our common stock and become our direct stockholder.

In some limited circumstances, including the transfer of the whole or any significant part of our business and the merger or consolidation of us with another company, dissenting stockholders have the right to require us to purchase their shares under Korean law. However, holders of our ADSs will not be able to exercise such dissent and appraisal rights if the depositary refuses to do so on their behalf. Our deposit agreement does not require the depositary to take any action in respect of exercising dissent and appraisal rights. In such a situation, holders of our ADSs must withdraw the underlying common stock from the ADS facility (and incur charges relating to that withdrawal) and become our direct stockholder prior to the record date of the stockholders’ meeting at which the relevant transaction is to be approved, in order to exercise dissent and appraisal rights.

A holder of our ADSs may be limited in its ability to deposit or withdraw common stock.

Under the terms of our deposit agreement, holders of common stock may deposit such stock with the depositary’s custodian in Korea and obtain ADSs, and holders of ADSs may surrender ADSs to the depositary and receive common stock. However, to the extent that a deposit of common stock exceeds the difference between:

(1) the aggregate number of common shares we have deposited or we have consented to allow to be deposited for the issuance of ADSs (including deposits in connection with offerings of ADSs and stock dividends or other distributions relating to ADSs); and

(2) the number of shares of common stock on deposit with the custodian for the benefit of the depositary at the time of such proposed deposit,

31

such common stock will not be accepted for deposit unless

(A) our consent with respect to such deposit has been obtained; or

(B) such consent is no longer required under Korean laws and regulations.

Under the terms of the deposit agreement, no consent is required if the shares of common stock are obtained through a dividend, free distribution, rights offering or reclassification of such stock. We have consented, under the terms of the deposit agreement, to any deposit to the extent that, after the deposit, the number of deposited shares does not exceed such number of shares as we determine from time to time (which number shall at no time be less than 100,000,000 shares), unless the deposit would be prohibited by applicable laws or ownership restrictions or violate our articles of incorporation. We might not consent to the deposit of any additional common stock. As a result, if a holder surrenders ADSs and withdraws common stock, it may not be able to deposit the stock again to obtain ADSs.

A holder of our ADSs will not have preemptive rights in some circumstances.

The Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation require us, with some exceptions, to offer stockholders the right to subscribe for new shares of our common stock in proportion to their existing shareholding ratio whenever new shares are issued. If we offer any rights to subscribe for additional shares of our common stock or any rights of any other nature, to the extent practicable, the depositary may make the rights available to holders of our ADSs or dispose of the rights on behalf of such holders and make the net proceeds available to such holders. The depositary, however, is not required to make available to holders any rights to purchase any additional shares of our common stock unless it timely receives evidence satisfactory to it from us that it may lawfully do so and:

• a registration statement filed by us under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is in effect with respect to those shares; or

• the offering and sale of those shares is exempt from or is not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Similarly, holders of our common stock located in the United States may not exercise any such rights they receive absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

We are under no obligation to file any registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to be declared effective. Moreover, we may not be able to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Accordingly, a holder of our ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in its holdings. If a registration statement is required for a holder of our ADSs to exercise preemptive rights but is not filed by us or is not declared effective, the holder will not be able to exercise its preemptive rights for additional ADSs and it will suffer dilution of its equity interest in us. If the depositary is unable to sell rights that are not exercised or not distributed or if the sale is not lawful or practicable, it will allow the rights to lapse, in which case the holder will receive no value for these rights.

Dividend payments and the amount a holder of our ADSs may realize upon a sale of its ADSs will be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Won.

Our common stock is listed on the KRX KOSPI Market and quoted and traded in Won. Cash dividends, if any, in respect of the shares represented by the ADSs will be paid to the depositary in Won and then converted by the depositary into U.S. dollars, subject to certain conditions. Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Won and the U.S. dollar will affect, among other things, the amounts a holder of our ADSs will receive from the depositary in respect of dividends, the U.S. dollar value of the proceeds that it would receive

32

upon sale in Korea of the shares of our common stock obtained upon surrender of ADSs and the secondary market price of ADSs. Such fluctuations will also affect the U.S. dollar value of dividends and sales proceeds received by holders of our common stock.

The market value of an investment in our ADSs may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Korean securities market.

Our common stock is listed on the KRX KOSPI Market, which has a smaller market capitalization and is more volatile than the securities markets in the United States and many European countries. The market value of ADSs may fluctuate in response to the fluctuation of the trading price of shares of our common stock on the KRX KOSPI Market. The KRX KOSPI Market has experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices and volumes of sales of listed securities and the KRX KOSPI Market has prescribed a fixed range in which share prices are permitted to move on a daily basis. The KOSPI declined from 1,897.1 on December 31, 2007 to 938.8 on October 24, 2008. The KOSPI was 2,149.15 on April 20, 2017. There is no guarantee that the stock prices of Korean companies will not decline again in the future. Like other securities markets, including those in developed markets, the Korean securities market has experienced problems including market manipulation, insider trading and settlement failures. The recurrence of these or similar problems could have a material adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of the securities of Korean companies, including our common stock and ADSs, in both the domestic and the international markets.

The Korean government has the potential ability to exert substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector business community, and in the past has exerted that influence from time to time. For example, the Korean government has promoted mergers to reduce what it considers excess capacity in a particular industry and has also encouraged private companies to publicly offer their securities. Similar actions in the future could have the effect of depressing or boosting the Korean securities market, whether or not intended to do so. Accordingly, actions by the government, or the perception that such actions are taking place, may take place or has ceased, may cause sudden movements in the market prices of the securities of Korean companies in the future, which may affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock and ADSs.

If the Korean government deems that emergency circumstances are likely to occur, it may restrict holders of our ADSs and the depositary from converting and remitting dividends and other amounts in U.S. dollars.

If the Korean government deems that certain emergency circumstances, including, but not limited to, severe and sudden changes in domestic or overseas economic circumstances, extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or implementing currency exchange rate and other macroeconomic policies, have occurred or are likely to occur, it may impose certain restrictions provided for under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, including the suspension of payments or requiring prior approval from governmental authorities for any transaction. See “Item 10.D. Exchange Controls—General.”

A holder of our ADSs may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us.

We are a corporation with limited liability organized under the laws of Korea. Substantially all of our directors and officers and other persons named in this document reside in Korea, and all or a significant portion of the assets of our directors and officers and other persons named in this document and substantially all of our assets are located in Korea. As a result, it may not be possible for holders of our ADSs to effect service of process within the United States, or to enforce against them or us in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Korea, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated on the United States federal securities laws.

Item 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

Item 4.A. History and Development of the Company

Overview

We were established as a new financial holding company on September 29, 2008 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Korean law, whereby holders of the common stock of Kookmin Bank and certain of its subsidiaries transferred all of their shares to us in return for shares of our common stock. We were established pursuant to the Financial Holding Company Act, which was enacted in October 2000 and which, together with associated regulations and a related Enforcement Decree, has enabled banks and other financial institutions, including insurance companies, investment trust companies, credit card companies and securities companies, to be organized and managed under the auspices of a single financial holding company.

Our legal and commercial name is KB Financial Group Inc. Our registered office and principal executive offices are located at 84,Namdaemoon-ro,Jung-gu, Seoul 04534, Korea. Our telephone number is822-2073-7114. Our agent in the United States, Kookmin Bank, New York Branch, is located at 565 Fifth Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, NY 10017. Its telephone number is (212)697-6100.

History of the Former Kookmin Bank

The former Kookmin Bank was established by the Korean government in 1963 under its original name of Citizens National Bank under the Citizens National Bank Act of Korea with majority government ownership. Under this Act, we were limited to providing banking services to the general public and tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. In September 1994, we completed our initial public offering in Korea and listed our shares on the KRX KOSPI Market.

In January 1995, the Citizens National Bank Act of Korea was repealed and replaced by the Repeal Act of the Citizens National Bank Act. Our status was changed from a specialized bank to a nationwide commercial bank and in February 1995, we changed our name to Kookmin Bank. The Repeal Act allowed us to engage in lending to large businesses.

History of H&CB

H&CB was established by the Korean government in 1967 under the name Korea Housing Finance Corporation. In 1969, Korea Housing Finance Corporation became the Korea Housing Bank pursuant to the Korea Housing Bank Act. H&CB was originally established to provide low and middle income households withlong-term,low-interest mortgages in order to help them purchase their own homes, and to promote the increase of housing supply in Korea by providinglow-interest housing loans to construction companies. Until 1997 when the Korea Housing Bank Act was repealed, H&CB was the only entity in Korea allowed to provide mortgage loans with a term of longer than ten years. H&CB also had the exclusive ability to offerhousing-related deposit accounts offering preferential rights to subscribe fornewly-built apartments.

Merger of the Former Kookmin Bank and H&CB

Effective November 1, 2001, the former Kookmin Bank and H&CB merged into a new entity named Kookmin Bank. This merger resulted in Kookmin Bank becoming the largest commercial bank in Korea. Kookmin Bank’s ADSs were listed on the New York Stock Exchange on November 1, 2001 and its common shares were listed on the KRX KOSPI Market on November 9, 2001.

34

Establishment of KB Financial Group

We were established on September 29, 2008 pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” underArticle 360-15 of the Korean Commercial Code, whereby holders of the common stock of Kookmin Bank and certain of its subsidiaries transferred all of their shares to us, a new financial holding company, and in return received shares of our common stock. In the stock transfer, each holder of one share of Kookmin Bank common stock received one share of our common stock, par value ￦5,000 per share. Holders of Kookmin Bank ADSs and global depositary shares, each of which represented one share of Kookmin Bank common stock, received one of our ADSs for every ADS or global depositary share they owned. In addition, holders of the common stock of KB Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., KB Asset Management Co., Ltd., KB Real Estate Trust Co., Ltd., KB Investment Co., Ltd., KB Futures Co., Ltd., KB Credit Information Co., Ltd., and KB Data Systems Co., Ltd., all of which were Kookmin Bank’s subsidiaries, transferred all of their shares to us and, as consideration for such transferred shares, received shares of our common stock in accordance with the specified stock transfer ratio applicable to each such subsidiary. Following the completion of the stock transfer, Kookmin Bank, KB Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., KB Asset Management Co., Ltd., KB Real Estate Trust Co., Ltd., KB Investment Co., Ltd., KB Futures Co., Ltd., KB Credit Information Co., Ltd., and KB Data Systems Co., Ltd. became ourwholly-owned subsidiaries.

The purpose of the stock transfer and our establishment as a financial holding company was to reorganize the different businesses of Kookmin Bank and its subsidiaries under a holding company structure, the adoption of which we believed would:

• assist us in creating an integrated system that facilitates the sharing of customer information and the development of integrated products and services by the different businesses within our subsidiaries;

• assist us in expanding our business scope to include new types of business with higher profit margins;

• enhance our ability to pursue strategic investments or reorganizations by way of mergers, acquisitions,spin-offs or other means;

• maximize our management efficiency; and

• further enhance our capacity to expand our overseas operations.

Following the stock transfer, our common stock was listed on the KRX KOSPI Market on October 10, 2008 and our ADSs were listed on the New York Stock Exchange on September 29, 2008.

Item 4.B. Business Overview

Business

We are one of the largest financial holding companies in Korea, in terms of consolidated total assets, and our operations include Kookmin Bank, one of the leading commercial banks in Korea. Our subsidiaries collectively engage in a broad range of businesses, including commercial banking, credit cards, asset management, life insurance, capital markets activities and international banking and finance. As of December 31, 2016, we had consolidated total assets of ￦376 trillion, consolidated total deposits of ￦240 trillion and consolidated total equity of ￦31 trillion.

As part of our commercial banking activities, we provide credit and related financial services to individuals andsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises and, to a lesser extent, to large corporate customers. We also provide a full range of deposit products and related services to both individuals and enterprises of all sizes. We provide these services predominantly through Kookmin Bank.

By their nature, our core consumer andsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise operations place a high premium on customer access and convenience. Our combined banking network of 1,130 branches as of

35

December 31, 2016, one of the most extensive in Korea, provides a solid foundation for our business and is a major source of our competitive strength. This network provides us with a large, stable and cost effective funding source, enables us to provide our customers convenient access and gives us the ability to provide the customer attention and service essential to conducting our business, particularly in an increasingly competitive environment. Our branch network is further enhanced by automated banking machines andfixed-line, smartphone and Internet banking. As of December 31, 2016, we had a customer base of approximately 33.1 million retail customers, which represented overone-half of the Korean population.

The following table sets forth the principal components of our lending business as of the dates indicated. As of December 31, 2016, retail loans and credit card loans and receivables accounted for 55.5% of our total loan portfolio:

⁽¹⁾  Includes ￦1,035 billion, ￦1,040 billion and ￦817 billion of overdraft loans secured by real estate in connection with home equity loans as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

⁽²⁾ Includes ￦6,941 billion, ￦7,546 billion and ￦7,670 billion of overdraft loans as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

We provide a full range of personal lending products and retail banking services to individual customers, including mortgage loans. We are the largest private sector mortgage lender in Korea.

Lending tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises is the single largest component of ournon-retail credit portfolio and represents a widely diversified exposure to a broad spectrum of the Korean corporate community, both by type of lending and type of customer, with one of the categories being collateralized loans to SOHO customers that are among the smallest of thesmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. The volume of our loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises requires acustomer-oriented approach that is facilitated by our large and geographically diverse branch network.

With respect to large corporate customers, we continue to seek to maintain and expand quality relationships by providing them with an increasing range offee-related services.

Strategy

Our strategic focus is to become aworld-class financial group that ranks among the leaders of the financial industry in Asia and globally. We plan to continue to solidify our market position as Korea’s leading bank, enhance our ability to provide comprehensive financial services to our retail and corporate customers and strengthen our overseas operating platform and network. We believe our strong market position in the commercial banking area in Korea is an important competitive advantage, which will enable us to compete more effectively based on convenient delivery, product breadth and differentiation, and service quality while focusing on our profitability.

36

The key elements of our strategy are as follows:

Providing comprehensive financial services and maximizing synergies among our subsidiaries through our financial holding company structure

We believe the Korean financial services market has been undergoing and will continue to undergo significant change, resulting from, among other things, fluctuations in the Korean and global economy and the evolving social landscape in Korea, including the acceleration of population aging in Korea, the prevalence of smartphone usage, developments in digital and mobile technologies and the ensuing trend towardhigh-tech “smart banking” in the banking sector. In the context of such changes, we plan to become a comprehensive financial services provider capable of offering a full range of products and services to our large existing base of retail and corporate customers, as well as a global firm that can effectively compete with leading international financial institutions. To that end, we are continuing to implement specific initiatives including the enhancement of ourgroup-wide integrated customer relationship management system to facilitate the sharing of customer information in accordance with applicable laws and the integration of various customer loyalty programs among our subsidiaries.

We believe our financial holding company structure gives us a competitive advantage over commercial banks and unaffiliated financial services providers by:

• allowing us to offer a more extensive range of financial products and services;

• enabling us to share customer information, which is not permitted outside a financial holding company structure, thereby enhancing our risk management capabilities;

• enhancing our ability to reduce costs in areas such asback-office processing and procurement; and

• enabling us to raise and manage capital on a centralized basis.

Identifying, targeting and marketing to attractive customer segments and providing superior customer value and service to such segments

In recent years, rather than focusing on developing products and services to satisfy the overall needs of the general population, we have increasingly targeted specific market segments in Korea that we expect to generate superior growth and profitability. We will continue to implement a targeted marketing approach that seeks to identify the most attractive customer segments and to develop strategies to build market share in those segments. In particular, we intend to increase our “wallet share” of superior existing customers by using our advanced customer relationship management technology to better identify and meet the needs of our most creditworthy and high net worth customers, on whom we intend to concentrate our marketing efforts. For example, as part of this strategy, we operate a “priority customer” program called KB Star Club through four of our subsidiaries, Kookmin Bank, KB Securities, KB Life Insurance and KB Kookmin Card, as well as our affiliate KB Insurance. We select and classify KB Star Club customers based on their transaction history with the five entities and provide such customers with preferential treatment in various areas, including interest rates and transaction fees, depending upon how they are classified. We also provide private banking services, including personal wealth management services through our exclusive brand “Gold & Wise,” to increase our share of the priority customer market and in turn increase our profitability and strengthen our position in retail banking.

We are also focusing on attracting and retaining creditworthy customers by offering more differentiatedfee-based products and services that are tailored to meet their specific needs. The development and marketing of our products and services are, in part, driven by customer segmentation to ensure we meet the needs of each customer segment. For instance, we continue to develop hybrid financial products with enhanced features, including various deposit products and investment products, for which consumer demand has increased in recent years.We are also focusing on addressing the needs of our customers by providing thehighest-quality products

37

and services and developing anopen-architecture strategy, which allows us to sell such products through one of the largest branch networks in Korea. In short, we aim to offer our customers a convenientone-stop financial services destination where they can meet their traditional retail and corporate banking requirements, as well as find a broad array offee-based products and services tailored to address more specific financial needs, including in investment banking, securities brokerage, insurance and wealth management. We believe such differentiated, comprehensive services andcross-selling will not only enhance customer loyalty but also increase profitability.

One of our keycustomer-related strategies continues to be creating greater value and better service for our customers. We intend to continue improving our customer service, including through:

• Improved customer relationship management technology. Management has devoted substantial resources toward development of our customer relationship management system, which is designed to provide our employees with the information needed to continually improve the level of service and incentives offered to our preferred customers. Our integrated customer relationship system allows for better customer management and streamlines our customer reward system. We have also developedstate-of-the-art call centers, smartphone applications and online Internet capabilities to provide shorter response times to customers seeking information or to execute transactions. Our goals are to continually focus on improving customer service to satisfy our customer’s needs through continuing efforts to deliver new and improved services and to upgrade our customer relationship management system to provide the best possible service to our customers in the future.

• Enhanced distribution channels. We also believe we can improve customer retention and usage rates by increasing the range of products and services we offer and by developing a differentiated,multi-channel distribution network, including branches, ATMs, call centers, smartphone banking and Internet banking. We believe that our leading market position in the commercial banking area in Korea gives us a competitive advantage in developing and enhancing our distribution capabilities.

Focusing on expanding and improving credit quality in our corporate lending business and increasing market share in the corporate financial services market

We plan to focus on corporate lending as one of our core businesses through attractingtop-tier corporate customers and providing customized and distinctive products and services to build our position as a leading service provider in the Korean corporate financial market. To increase our market share in providing financial services to the corporate market, we intend to:

• promote a more balanced and strengthened portfolio with respect to our corporate business by developing our large corporate customer base and utilizing our improved credit management operations to better evaluate new large corporate andsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise customers;

• develop and sell more varied corporate financial products, consisting of transactional banking products which provide higher margin and less risk;

• generate more fee income from large corporate customers throughbusiness-to-business transactions, foreign exchange transactions and derivative and other investment products, as well as investment banking services;

• strengthen our marketing system based on our accumulated expertise in order to attracttop-tier corporate customers;

• focus on enhancing our channel network in order to provide the best service by strengthening our corporate customer management; and

• further develop and train our core professionals with respect to this market, including through programs such as the “Career Development Path.”

38

Strengthening internal risk management capabilities

We believe that ensuring strong asset quality through effective credit risk management is critical to maintaining stable growth and profitability and risk management will continue to be one of our key focus areas. One of our highest priorities is to improve our asset quality and more effectively price our lending products to take into account inherent credit risk in our portfolio. Our goal is to maintain the soundness of our credit portfolio, profitability and capital base. To this end, we intend to continue to strengthen our internal risk management capabilities by tightening our underwriting and management policies and improving our internal compliance policies. To accomplish this objective, we have undertaken the following initiatives:

• Strengthening underwriting procedures with advanced credit scoring techniques. We have centralized our credit management operations into our Credit Group. Through such centralization, we aim to enhance our credit management expertise and improve our system ofchecks-and-balances with respect to our credit portfolio. We have also improved our ability to evaluate the credit of oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise customers through assigning experienced credit officers to our regional credit offices. We also require the same officer to evaluate, review and monitor the outstanding loans and other credits with respect to a customer, which we believe enhances the expertise and improves the efficiency and accountability of such officer, while enabling us to maintain a consistent credit policy. We have also, as a general matter, implemented enhanced credit analysis and scoring techniques, which we believe will enable us to makebetter-informed decisions about the credit we extend and improve our ability to respond more quickly to incipient credit problems. We are also focusing on enhancing our asset quality through improvement of our early monitoring systems and collection procedures.

• Improving our internal compliance policy and ensuring strict application in our daily operations. We have improved our monitoring capabilities with respect to our internal compliance by providing training and educational programs to our management and employees. We have also implemented strict compliance policies to maintain the integrity of our risk management system.

Cultivating aperformance-based,customer-oriented culture that emphasizes market best practices

We believe a strong and dedicated workforce is critical to our ability to offer our customers the highest quality financial services and is integral to our goal of maintaining our position as one of Korea’s leading financial services providers. In the past, we have dedicated significant resources to develop and train our core professionals, and we intend to continue to enhance the productivity of our employees, including by regularly sponsoringin-house training and educational programs. We have also been seeking to cultivate aperformance-based culture to create a work environment where members of our staff are incentivized to maximize their potential and in which our employees are directly rewarded for superior performance. We intend to maintain a professional workforce whose high quality of customer service reflects our goal to achieve and maintain global best practice standards in all areas of operations.

Retail Banking

Due to Kookmin Bank’s history and development as a retail bank and theknow-how and expertise we have acquired from our activities in that market, retail banking has been and will continue to remain one of our core businesses. Our retail banking activities consist primarily of lending anddeposit-taking.

39

Lending Activities

We offer various loan products that target different segments of the population, with features tailored to each segment’s financial profile and other characteristics. The following table sets forth the balances and the percentage of our total retail lending represented by the categories of our retail loans as of the dates indicated:

	As of December 31,
	2014				2015				2016
	(in billions of Won, except percentages)
Retail:
Mortgage and home equity loans	￦	86,994	73.0	%	￦	87,882	70.8	%	￦	93,327	69.2	%
Other consumer loans(1)		32,255	27.0			36,312	29.2			41,629	30.8
Total	￦	119,249	100.0	%	￦	124,194	100.0	%	￦	134,956	100.0	%

⁽¹⁾  Excludes credit card loans, but includes overdraft loans.

Our retail loans consist of:

• Mortgage loans, which are loans made to customers to finance home purchases, construction, improvements or rentals; and home equity loans, which are loans made to our customers secured by their homes to ensure loan repayment. We also provide overdraft loans in connection with our home equity loans.

• Other consumer loans, which are loans made to customers for any purpose (other than mortgage and home equity loans). These include overdraft loans, which are loans extended to customers to cover insufficient funds when they withdraw funds from their demand deposit accounts with us in excess of the amount in such accounts up to a limit established by us.

For secured loans, including mortgage and home equity loans, our policy is to lend up to 100% of the adjusted collateral value (except in areas of high speculation designated by the government where we generally limit our lending to between 40% to 60% of the appraised value of collateral) minus the value of any lien or other security interests that are prior to our security interest. In calculating the adjusted collateral value for real estate, we use the appraisal value of the collateral multiplied by a factor, generally between 40% to 80% (40% to 70% in the case of mortgage and home equity loans). This factor varies depending upon the location and use of the real estate and is established in part by taking into accountcourt-supervised auction prices for nearby properties.

A borrower’s eligibility for our mortgage loans depends on the value of the mortgage property, the appropriateness of the use of proceeds and the borrower’s creditworthiness. A borrower’s eligibility for home equity loans is determined by the borrower’s credit and the value of the property, while the borrower’s eligibility for other consumer loans is primarily determined by the borrower’s credit. If the borrower’s credit deteriorates, it may be difficult for us to recover the loan. As a result, we review the borrower’s creditworthiness, collateral value, credit scoring and third party guarantees when evaluating a borrower. In addition, to reduce the interest rate of a loan or to qualify for a loan, a borrower may provide collateral, deposits or guarantees from third parties.

Mortgage and Home Equity Lending

The housing finance market in Korea is divided into public sector and private sector lending. In the public sector, two government entities, the National Housing Urban Fund and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, are responsible for most of the mortgage lending.

Private sector mortgage and home equity lending in Korea has expanded substantially in recent years. We provide customers with a number of mortgage and home equity loan products that have flexible features,

40

including terms, repayment schedules, amounts and eligibility for loans, and we offer interest rates on a commercial basis. The maximum term of mortgage loans is 35 years and the majority of our mortgage loans havelong-term maturities, which may be renewed.Non-amortizing home equity loans have an initial maturity of one year, which may be extended on an annual basis for a maximum of five years. Home equity loans subject to amortization of principal may have a maximum term of up to 35 years. As of December 31, 2016, we had ￦31,062 billion of amortizing home equity loans, representing 90.5% of our total home equity loans, and ￦3,250 billion ofnon-amortizing home equity loans, representing 9.5% of our total home equity loans. Any customer is eligible for a mortgage or an individual home equity loan regardless of whether it participates in one of our housing related savings programs and so long as that customer is not barred by regulation from obtaining a loan because of bad credit history. However, customers with whom we frequently transact business and provide us with significant revenue receive preferential interest rates on loans.

As of December 31, 2016, 63.7% of our mortgage loans were secured by residential property which is the subject of the loan, 23.4% of our mortgage loans were guaranteed by the Housing Finance Credit Guarantee Fund, a governmenthousing-related entity, and the remaining 12.9% of our mortgage loans, contrary to general practices in the United States, were unsecured (although the use of proceeds from these loans is restricted to financing of home purchases and some of these loans are guaranteed by a third party). One reason that a relatively high percentage of our mortgage loans are unsecured is that we, along with other Korean banks, provide advance loans to borrowers for the down payment of new housing (particularly apartments) that is in the process of being built. Once construction is completed, which may take several years, these mortgage loans become secured by the new housing purchased by these borrowers. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the average initialloan-to-value ratio of our mortgage loans, which is a measure of the amount of loan exposure to the appraised value of the security collateralizing the loan, was approximately 52.2%. There are three reasons that ourloan-to-value ratio is relatively lower (as is the case with other Korean banks) compared to similar ratios in other countries, such as the United States. The first reason is that housing prices are high in Korea relative to average income, so most people cannot afford to borrow an amount equal to the entire value of their collateral and make interest payments on such an amount. The second reason relates to the “jeonsae” system, through which people provide a key money deposit while residing in the property prior to its purchase. At the time of purchase, most people use the key money deposit as part of their payment and borrow the remaining amount from Korean banks, which results in a loan that will be for an amount smaller than the appraised value of the property for collateral and assessment purposes. The third reason is that Korean banks discount the appraised value of the borrower’s property for collateral and assessment purposes so that a portion of the appraised value is reserved in order to provide recourse to a renter who lives at the borrower’s property. This is in the event that the borrower’s property is seized by a creditor, and the renter is no longer able to reside at that property. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Other risks relating to our business—A decline in the value of the collateral securing our loans and our inability to realize full collateral value may adversely affect our credit portfolio.”

The following table sets forth our unsecured and secured mortgage loans and home equity loans as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, based on their loan classification categories under IFRS and our internal credit ratings for loans (which are described in Note 4.2.4 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements):

⁽¹⁾  Includes advance loans guaranteed by the Housing Finance Credit Guarantee Fund to borrowers for the down payment of new housing that is in the process of being built.

Our home equity loan portfolio includes loans that are in a second lien position. In addition to the underwriting procedures we perform when we issue home equity loans in general, we perform additional underwriting procedures with respect to home equity loans secured by a second lien to assess and confirm the value and status of any loans secured by security interests on the collateral which would be prior to our security interest under the second lien home equity loan. Under regulations implemented by the Financial Supervisory Service, our home equity loans are subject to maximumloan-to-value ratios (i.e., the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of loans, including first and second lien loans, secured by a particular item of collateral to the appraised value of such collateral) of between 40% and 70%. As such, for home equity loans, we do not lend more than an amount equal to the adjusted collateral value (i.e., the collateral value as discounted by the requiredloan-to-value ratio) minus the value of any loans secured by security interests on the collateral that are prior to our security interest. Accordingly, in order to ascertain the value of loans secured by security interests on the collateral which would be prior to our security interest and to confirm the status of such loans, we perform additional underwriting procedures including a review of the relevant title and security interest registration documents and bank documents and certificates regarding such loans. In addition, for purposes of calculatingdebt-to-income ratios applicable to loans secured by certain types of housing under regulations implemented by the Financial Supervisory Service (see “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Regulations Relating to Retail Household Loans”), which we apply on a nationwide basis for our home equity loans, we perform additional adjustments in ourdebt-to-income ratio calculations with respect to second lien home equity loans to account for the value of loans secured by security interests on the collateral that are prior to our security interest.

Following the issuance of a home equity loan, we make use of the Korea Federation of Bank’s database of delinquent borrowers to generally monitor the compliance of our borrowers with their other loan obligations, including the compliance of our second lien borrowers with their first lien loans. If a borrower in Korea is past

42

due on payments of interest or principal for more than three months on any of its outstanding loans to Korean financial institutions (including mortgage, home equity, other consumer and credit card loans), such borrower is registered on the Korea Federation of Banks’ database of delinquent borrowers, which we monitor on a daily basis. The information disclosed by such database, which includes the outstanding loan amount which is past due, the identity of the delinquent borrower and the name of the applicable lending institution for such loan, provides an early warning about such borrower to our loan officers at the branch level, who then closely monitor our outstanding loans to such delinquent borrower and take appropriate preventive and remedial measures (including requiring such borrower to provide additional collateral) as necessary. Upon the occurrence of a default in the first lien position, we treat the second lien home equity loan as part of our potential problem loans ornon-performing loans. More specifically, upon learning of the occurrence of a default in the first lien position, we examine our second lien home equity loan to determine whether the loan should bere-classified as “precautionary,” “substandard” or “doubtful” according to the asset classification guidelines of the Financial Services Commission. Assuming that such second lien home equity loan is not delinquent, if the outstanding principal amount of the relevant first lien loan is less than ￦15 million, we classify the entire amount of the second lien home equity loan as “precautionary” and closely monitor it as a loan that may potentially become problematic. If the outstanding principal amount of the relevant first lien loan is ￦15 million or above or the borrower is undergoing, or preparing to undergo, foreclosure proceedings with respect to the underlying collateral, we classify the estimated recoverable amount of the second lien home equity loan as “substandard” and the rest of such loan amount as “doubtful.”

Pricing. The interest rates on our retail mortgage loans are generally based on a periodic floating rate (which is based on a base rate determined forthree-month,six-month ortwelve-month periods using our Market Opportunity Rate system, which reflects our internal cost of funding, further adjusted to account for our expenses related to lending). Our interest rates also incorporate a margin based among other things on the type of security, the credit score of the borrower and the estimated loss on the security. We can adjust the price to reflect the borrower’s current and/or expected future contribution to us. The applicable interest rate is determined at the time of the loan. If a loan is terminated prior to its maturity, the borrower is obligated to pay us an early termination fee of approximately 0.7% to 1.4% of the loan amount in addition to the accrued interest.

The interest rates on our home equity loans are determined on the same basis as our retail mortgage loans.

As of December 31, 2016, ourthree-month,six-month andtwelve-month base rates were 1.54%, 1.56% and 1.67%, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, 65.9% of our outstanding mortgage and home equity loans were priced based on a floating rate.

Other Consumer Loans

Other consumer loans are primarily unsecured. However, such loans may be secured by real estate, deposits or securities. As of December 31, 2016, approximately ￦23,754 billion, or 57.1% of our consumer loans (other than mortgage and home equity loans) were unsecured loans (although some of these loans were guaranteed by a third party). Overdraft loans are also classified as other consumer loans, are primarily unsecured and generally have an initial maturity of one year, which is typically extended automatically on an annual basis and may be extended up to a maximum of five years. The amount of overdraft loans as of December 31, 2016 was approximately ￦7,670 billion.

Pricing. The interest rates on our other consumer loans (including overdraft loans) are determined on the same basis as on our mortgage and home equity loans, except that, for unsecured loans, the borrower’s credit score as determined during our loan approval process is also taken into account. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk Management.”

43

As of December 31, 2016, 97.8% of our other consumer loans had interest rates that were not fixed but were variable in reference to our base rate, which is based on the Market Opportunity Rate.

Deposit-taking Activities

Due to our extensive nationwide network of branches, together with our long history of development and our resultingknow-how and expertise, as of December 31, 2016, we had the largest number of retail customers and retail deposits among Korean commercial banks. The balance of our deposits from retail customers was ￦138,246 billion, ￦146,630 billion and ￦161,232 billion as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, which constituted 65.3%, 65.4% and 67.3%, respectively, of the balance of our total deposits.

We offer many deposit products that target different segments of our retail customer base, with features tailored to each segment’s financial profile, characteristics and needs, including:

• Demand deposits, which either do not accrue interest or accrue interest at a lower rate than time deposits. Demand deposits allow the customer to deposit and withdraw funds at any time and, if they are interest bearing, accrue interest at a variable rate depending on the amount of deposit. Retail and corporate demand deposits constituted 44.3% of our total deposits as of December 31, 2016 and paid average interest of 0.3% for 2016.

• Time deposits, which generally require the customer to maintain a deposit for a fixed term, during which the deposit accrues interest at a fixed rate or a variable rate based on the KOSPI, or to deposit specified amounts on an installment basis. If the amount of the deposit is withdrawn prior to the end of the fixed term, the customer will be paid a lower interest rate than that originally offered. The term for time deposits typically ranges from one month to three years, and the term for installment savings deposits ranges from six months to five years. Retail and corporate time deposits constituted 48.8% of our total deposits as of December 31, 2016 and paid average interest of 1.69% for 2016. Most installment savings deposits offer fixed interest rates.

• Certificates of deposit, the maturities of which typically range from 30 days to 730 days with a required minimum deposit of ￦10 million. Interest rates on certificates of deposit are determined based on the length of the deposit and prevailing market rates. Our certificates of deposit are sold at a discount to their face value, reflecting the interest payable on the certificates of deposit.

• Foreign currency deposits, which are available to Korean and foreign residents,non-residents and overseas immigrants. We offer foreign currency demand deposits and time deposits as well as checking accounts in 11 currencies.Foreign currency demand deposits, which accrue interest at a variable rate, allow customers to deposit and withdraw funds at any time.Foreign currency time deposits generally require customers to maintain the deposit for a fixed term, during which the deposit accrues interest at a fixed rate. If the funds in a foreign currency time deposit are withdrawn prior to the end of the fixed term, the customer will be paid a lower interest rate than that originally offered.

We offer varying interest rates on our deposit products depending upon average funding costs, the rate of return on our interest earning assets and the interest rates offered by other commercial banks.

We also offer comprehensive savings deposits for housing subscription, which are monthly installment savings deposits that provide the holder with preferential rights to subscribe for both public and private housing under the Housing Act. This law is the basic law setting forth various measures supporting the purchase of houses and the supply of such houses by construction companies. These deposits require monthly installments of ￦20,000 to ￦500,000 and accrue interest at variable rates depending on the term. An eligible account holder with ￦70 million or less in annual income may also claim a tax deduction for 40% of its annual installment amounts, subject to a maximum deductible amount, in its income tax return for the year under the Restriction of Special Taxation Act.

44

In 2002, after significant research and planning, we launched private banking operations at Kookmin Bank’s headquarters. Shortly thereafter, we launched a comprehensive strategy with respect to customers with higher net worth, which included staffing appropriate representatives, marketing aggressively, establishing IT systems, selecting appropriate branch locations and readying such branches with the necessary facilities to service such customers. As of December 31, 2016, we operated 21 private banking centers through Kookmin Bank.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Korea, or the Monetary Policy Committee, imposes a reserve requirement on Won currency deposits of commercial banks based generally on the type of deposit instrument. The reserve requirement is currently up to 7%. See “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Liquidity.”

The Depositor Protection Act provides for a deposit insurance system where the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation guarantees to depositors the repayment of their eligible bank deposits. The deposit insurance system insures up to a total of ￦50 million per depositor per bank. See “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Deposit Insurance System.” We paid ￦362 billion of premium for 2016.

Credit Cards

Credit cards are another of our core retail products. We issue most of our credit cards under the “KB Kookmin Card” brand. Our credit card business is operated by our subsidiary, KB Kookmin Card Co., Ltd.

⁽¹⁾  The active ratio represents the ratio of accounts used at least once within the last six months to total accounts as of year end.

⁽²⁾  Merchant fees consist of maintenance fees and costs associated with prepayment by us (on behalf of customers) of sales proceeds to merchants, processing fees relating to sales and membership applications, costs relating to the management of delinquencies and

46

recoveries, provision for loan losses, general variable expenses and other fixed costs that are charged to our member merchants. We typically charge our member merchants fees that range from 1.5% to 2.5%.

⁽³⁾ Represents the aggregate cumulative amount charged during the year.

⁽⁴⁾  Card loans consist of loans that are provided on an unsecured basis to cardholders upon prior agreement. Payment on such a loan can be due either in one payment or in installments after a fixed period, in the case of principal payments, and will be due in installments, in the case of interest payments.

⁽⁵⁾  Represents ratio of credit card balances overdue by one month or more to outstanding balance. In line with industry practice, we have restructured a portion of delinquent credit card account balances as loans. As of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, these restructured loans amounted to ￦45 billion, ￦36 billion and ￦43 billion, respectively. Because these restructured loans are not treated as being delinquent at the time of conversion or for a period of time thereafter, our delinquency ratios may not fully reflect all delinquent amounts relating to our outstanding balances.

⁽⁶⁾  Does not include proceeds that we received from sales of ournon-performing loans that were written off.

⁽⁷⁾  Represents the ratio of grosswrite-offs for the year to average outstanding balance for the year. Ourcharge-off policy is generally to write off balances which have been overdue for four payment cycles or more or which have been classified as expected loss.

⁽⁸⁾  Represents the ratio of netwrite-offs for the year to average outstanding balances for the year. Ourcharge-off policy is generally to write off balances which have been overdue for four payment cycles or more or which have been classified as expected loss.

In contrast to the system in the United States and many other countries, where most credit cards are revolving cards that allow outstanding amounts to be rolled over from month to month so long as a required minimum percentage is repaid, credit cardholders in Korea are generally required to pay for their purchases within approximately 14 to 44 days of purchase depending on their payment cycle. However, we also offer revolving payment plans to individuals that allow outstanding amounts to be rolled over to subsequent payment periods. Delinquent accounts (defined as amounts overdue for one day or more) are charged penalty interest and closely monitored. For installment purchases, we charge interest on unpaid installments at rates that vary according to the individual cardholder’s membership level, which is based on, among others, transaction history, the length of the cardholder’s relationship with us and contribution to our profitability.

We are committed to continuing to enhance our credit card business by strengthening our risk management and maximizing our operational efficiency. In addition, we believe that our extensive branch network, brand recognition and overall size will enable us tocross-sell products such as credit cards to our existing and new customers.

To promote our credit card business, we offer services targeted to various financial profiles and customer requirements and are concentrating on:

• strengtheningcross-sales to existing customers and offering integrated financial services;

• offering cards that provide additional benefits such as frequent flyer miles and reward program points that can be redeemed by the customer for complementary services, prizes and cash;

• offering platinum cards, VVIP cards and other prime members’ cards, which have a higher credit limit and provide additional services in return for a higher fee;

• acquiring new customers through strategic alliances andcross-marketing with retailers;

• encouraging increased use of credit cards by existing customers through special offers for frequent users;

• introducing new features such as travel services and insurance through alliance partners; and

• developing fraud detection and security systems to prevent the misuse of credit cards.

As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately 9.4 million credit cardholders. Of the credit cards outstanding, approximately 88.4% were active, meaning that they had been used at least once during the previous six months.

Our card revenues consist principally of cash advance fees, merchant fees, credit card installment fees, interest income from credit card loans, annual fees paid by cardholders, interest and fees on late payments and, with respect to revolving payment plans we offer, interest and fees relating to revolving balances. We generate other fees through a processing charge on merchants, which typically ranges from 1.5% to 2.5%.

47

Undernon-exclusive license agreements with overseas financial services corporations, we also issue MasterCard, Visa, American Express, JCB and China UnionPay credit cards.

We issue debit cards and charge merchants commissions that range from 1.0% to 2.0% of the amounts purchased using a debit card. We also issue “check cards,” which are similar to debit cards except that “check cards” are accepted by all merchants that accept credit cards, and charge merchants commissions that typically range from 0.5% to 1.7%. Much like debit cards, check card purchases are also debited directly from customers’ accounts with us.

Corporate Banking

We lend to and take deposits fromsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises and, to a lesser extent, large corporate customers. We had over 260,000small- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers and 1,760 large corporate borrowers forWon-currency loans as of December 31, 2016. For 2016, we received fee revenue from cash management services offered to corporate customers, which include“firm-banking” services such asinter-account transfers, transfers of funds from various branches and agencies of a company (such as insurance premium payments) to the account of the headquarters of such company and transfers of funds from various customers of a company to the main account of such company, in the amount of ￦132 billion. Of our branch network as of December 31, 2016, we had four branches that primarily handled large corporate banking.

The following table sets forth the balances and the percentage of our total corporate lending represented by oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise business loans and our large corporate business loans as of the dates indicated, estimated based on our internal classifications of corporate borrowers:

	As of December 31,
	2014				2015				2016
	(in billions of Won, except percentages)
Corporate:
Small- andmedium-sized enterprise loans	￦	71,960	71.3	%	￦	78,665	72.3	%	￦	86,065	74.0	%
Large corporate loans		28,918	28.7			30,182	27.7			30,206	26.0
Total	￦	100,878	100.0	%	￦	108,847	100.0	%	￦	116,271	100.0	%

On thedeposit-taking side, we currently offer our corporate customers several types of corporate deposits. Our corporate deposit products can be divided into two general categories: (1) demand deposits that have no restrictions on deposits or withdrawals, but which offer a relatively low interest rate; and (2) deposits from which withdrawals are restricted for a period of time, but offer higher interest rates. We also offer installment savings deposits, certificates of deposit and repurchase instruments. We offer varying interest rates on deposit products depending upon the rate of return on ourincome-earning assets, average funding costs and interest rates offered by other nationwide commercial banks.

The total amount of deposits from our corporate customers amounted to ￦74,166 billion as of December 31, 2016, or 30.9% of our total deposits.

Small- andMedium-sized Enterprise Banking

Oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise banking business has traditionally been and will remain one of our core businesses because of both our historical development and our accumulated expertise. We believe that we possess the necessary elements to succeed in thesmall- andmedium-sized enterprise market, including our extensive branch network, our credit rating system for credit approval, our marketing capabilities (which we believe have provided us with significant brand loyalty) and our ability to take advantage of economies of scale.

48

We use the term“small- andmedium-sized enterprises” as defined in the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises and related regulations. Under the amended Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises, which became effective on April 27, 2016, and related regulations, an enterprise must meet each of the following criteria in order to meet the definition of asmall- andmedium-sized enterprise: (i) total assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year must be less than ￦500 billion, (ii) the average or annual sales revenue standards as prescribed by the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises that are applicable to the enterprise’s primary business must be met and (iii) the standards of management independence as prescribed by the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises must be met. However, even if an enterprise that qualified as asmall- andmedium-sized enterprise under the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises prior to the amendment thereof no longer meets the definition due to such amendments, such enterprise will continue to be deemed asmall- andmedium-sized enterprise until March 31, 2018. Further, certified social enterprises (as defined in the Social Enterprise Promotion Act of Korea), as well as cooperatives or federations of cooperatives (as defined in the Framework Act on Cooperatives) that satisfy the requirements prescribed by the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises, may also qualify assmall- andmedium-sized enterprises.

Lending Activities

Our principal loan products for oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise customers are working capital loans and facilities loans. Working capital loans are provided to finance working capital requirements and include notes discounted and trade financing. Facilities loans are provided to finance the purchase of equipment and the establishment of manufacturing assembly plants. As of December 31, 2016, working capital loans and facilities loans accounted for 51.6% and 48.4%, respectively, of our totalsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise loans. As of December 31, 2016, we had over 260,000small- andmedium-sized enterprise customers on the lending side.

Loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises may be secured by real estate or deposits or may be unsecured. As of December 31, 2016, secured loans and guaranteed loans accounted for, in the aggregate, 87.9% of oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise loans. Among the secured loans, 95.9% were secured by real estate and 4.1% were secured by deposits or securities. Working capital loans generally have a maturity of one year, but may be extended for additional terms of up to one year in length for an aggregate term of five years. Facilities loans have a maximum maturity of 15 years.

When evaluating the extension of working capital loans, we review the corporate customer’s creditworthiness and capability to generate cash. Furthermore, we take credit guaranty letters from other financial institutions and use time deposits that the borrower has with us as collateral, and may require additional collateral.

The value of any collateral is defined using a formula that takes into account the appraised value of the property, any prior liens or other claims against the property and an adjustment factor based on a number of considerations including, with respect to property, the value of any nearby property sold in acourt-supervised auction during the previous five years. We revalue any collateral on a periodic basis (generally every year) or if a trigger event occurs with respect to the loan in question.

We also offer mortgage loans to home builders or developers who build or sellsingle- ormulti-family housing units, principally apartment buildings. Many of these builders and developers are categorized assmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. We offer a variety of such mortgage loans, including loans to purchase property or finance the construction of housing units and loans to contractors used for working capital purposes. Such mortgage loans subject us to the risk that the housing units will not be sold. As a result, we review the probability of the sale of the housing unit when evaluating the extension of a loan. We also review the borrower’s creditworthiness and the adequacy of the intended use of proceeds. Furthermore, we take a lien on the land on which the housing unit is to be constructed as collateral. If the collateral is not sufficient to cover the loan, we also take a guarantee from the Housing Finance Credit Guarantee Fund as security.

49

A substantial number of oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise customers are SOHOs, which we currently define to include sole proprietorships and individual business interests. With respect to SOHOs, we apply credit risk evaluation models, which not only use quantitative analysis related to a customer’s accounts, personal credit and financial information and due amounts but also require our credit officers to perform a qualitative analysis of each potential SOHO customer. With respect to SOHO loans in excess of ￦1 billion, our credit risk evaluation model also includes a quantitative analysis of the financial statements of the underlying business. We generally lend to SOHOs on a secured basis, although a small portion of our SOHO exposures are unsecured.

Pricing

We establish the price for our corporate loan products based principally on transaction risk, our cost of funding and market considerations. Transaction risk is measured by such factors as the credit rating assigned to a particular borrower, the size of the borrower and the value and type of collateral. Our loans are priced based on the Market Opportunity Rate system, which is a periodic floating rate system that takes into account the current market interest rate. As of December 31, 2016, the Market Opportunity Rate was 1.54% for three months, 1.56% for six months and 1.67% for one year.

While we generally utilize the Market Opportunity Rate system, depending on the price and other terms set by competing banks for similar borrowers, we may adjust the interest rate we charge to compete more effectively with other banks.

Large Corporate Banking

Large corporate customers include all companies that are notsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise customers. Kookmin Bank’s articles of incorporation provide that financial services to large corporate customers must be no more than 40% of the total amount of ourWon-denominated loans. Our business focus with respect to large corporate banking is to selectively increase the proportion of high quality large corporate customers. Specifically, we are carrying out various initiatives to improve our customer relationship with large corporate customers and have been seeking to expand our service offerings to this segment.

Lending Activities

Our principal loan products for our large corporate customers are working capital loans and facilities loans. As of December 31, 2016, working capital loans and facilities loans accounted for 76.5% and 23.5%, respectively, of our total large corporate loans. We also offer mortgage loans to large corporate clients who build or sellsingle- ormulti-family housing units, as described above under“—Small- andMedium-sized Enterprise Banking—Lending Activities.”

As of December 31, 2016, secured loans and guaranteed loans accounted for, in the aggregate, 21.3% of our large corporate loans. Among the secured loans, 71.6% were secured by real estate and 28.4% were secured by deposits or securities. Working capital loans generally have a maturity of one year, but may be extended for additional terms ranging from three months to one year in length for an aggregate term of five years. Facilities loans have a maximum maturity of 15 years.

In our unsecured lending to large corporate customers, a critical consideration in our policy regarding the extension of such unsecured loans is the borrower’s creditworthiness. We assign each borrower a credit rating based on the judgment of our experts or scores calculated using the appropriate credit rating system, taking into account both financial factors andnon-financial factors (such as our perception of a borrower’s reliability, management and operational risk and risk relating to the borrower’s industry). The credit ratings, along with such factors, are key determinants in our lending to large corporate customers. Large corporate customers generally have higher credit ratings due to their higher repayment capability compared to other types of borrowers, such assmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers. In addition, large corporate borrowers generally are affected to a

50

lesser extent thansmall- andmedium-sized enterprise borrowers by fluctuations in the Korean economy and also maintain more sophisticated financial records. As of December 31, 2016, 79.2% of our large corporate customers had credit ratings orBBB- or above according to the internal credit rating system of Kookmin Bank, compared to 63.2% of oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise customers. A credit rating ofBBB- is assigned to customers whose ability to repay the principal and interest on their outstanding loans is determined by us to be generally satisfactory but nonetheless subject to adverse effects under unfavorable economic conditions or during downturns in the business environment. Based on our internal analysis of historical data, we believe that the probability of default for loans extended to large corporate customers with a credit rating ofBBB- or above is between 0.00% and 2.26%.

We monitor the credit status of large corporate borrowers and collect information to adjust our ratings appropriately. We also manage and monitor our large corporate customers through a dedicated Corporate Banking Branch and Kookmin Bank’s Large Corporate Business Department. In addition, Kookmin Bank’s Credit Risk Department manages the exposures to each large corporate customer and conductsin-depth analysis of various economic andindustry-related risks that are relevant to large corporate customers.

As of December 31, 2016, in terms of our outstanding loan balance, 33.1% was extended to borrowers in the manufacturing industry, 28.8% of our large corporate loans was extended to borrowers in the financial institutions industry, and 20.8% was extended to borrowers in the service industry.

Pricing

We determine pricing of our large corporate loans in the same way as we determine the pricing of oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise loans. See“—Small- andMedium-sized Enterprise Banking—Pricing” above. As of December 31, 2016, the Market Opportunity Rate, which is utilized in pricing loans offered by us, was the same for our large corporate loans as for oursmall- andmedium-sized enterprise loans.

Trust Account Management Services

Money Trust Management Services

We provide trust account management services for both specified money trusts and unspecified money trusts. We receive fees for our trust account management services consisting of basic fees that are based upon a percentage of either the net asset value of the assets or the principal under management and, for certain types of trust account operations, performance fees that are based upon the performance of the trust account operations. In 2016, our basic fees ranged from 0.1% to 2.0% of total assets under management depending on the type of trust account. We also charge performance fees with respect to certain types of trust account products. We receive penalty payments when customers terminate their trust accounts prior to the original contract maturity.

We currently provide trust account management services for 20 types of money trusts. The money trusts we manage are generally trusts with a fixed maturity. Approximately 4.8% of our money trusts also provide periodic payments of dividends which are added to the assets held in such trusts and not distributed.

58

Under Korean law, the assets of our trust accounts are segregated from our banking account assets and are not available to satisfy the claims of any of our potential creditors. We are, however, permitted to deposit surplus funds generated by trust assets into our banking accounts in certain circumstances as set forth under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the regulations thereunder.

As of December 31, 2016, the total balance of our money trusts was ￦39,907 billion (as calculated in accordance with Statement of Korea Accounting Standard No. 5004,Trust Accounts, and the Enforcement Regulations of Financial Investment Services under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which we refer to as an “SKAS basis”). As for unspecified money trust accounts, we have investment discretion over all money trusts, which are pooled and managed jointly for each type of trust account. Specified money trust accounts are established on behalf of individual customers who direct our investment of trust assets.

The following table shows the balances of our money trusts by type as of the dates indicated. Under IFRS, we consolidate trust accounts for which we guarantee both the repayment of the principal amount and a fixed rate of interest as well as trust accounts for which we guarantee only the repayment of the principal amount.

⁽¹⁾  Calculated on an SKAS basis.

⁽²⁾  Trusts which are primarilynon-guaranteed.

The balance of our money trusts increased 37.4% between December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the trust assets we managed consisted principally of securities investments and loans from the trust accounts. As of December 31, 2016, on an SKAS basis, our trust accounts had invested in securities in the aggregate amount of ￦21,908 billion, of which ￦18,889 billion was debt securities andderivative-linked securities. Securities investments consist ofgovernment-related debt securities, corporate debt securities, including bonds and commercial paper, equity securities,derivative-linked securities and other securities. Loans made by our trust account operations are similar in type to the loans made by our bank account operations. As of December 31, 2016, on an SKAS basis, our trust accounts had made loans in the principal amount of ￦180 billion (excluding loans from the trust accounts to our banking accounts of ￦1,467 billion), which accounted for 0.4% of our money trust assets. Loans by our money trusts are subject to the same credit approval process as loans from our banking accounts. As of December 31, 2016, substantially all loans from our money trust accounts were collateralized or guaranteed.

Our money trust accounts also invest, to a lesser extent, in equity securities, including beneficiary certificates issued by financial investment companies with a collective investment license. On an SKAS basis, as of December 31, 2016, equity securities in our money trust accounts amounted to ￦3,019 billion, which accounted for 7.4% of our total money trust assets. Of this amount, ￦2,942 billion was from specified money trusts and ￦77 billion was from unspecified money trusts.

We continue to offerpension-type money trusts that provide a guarantee of the principal amount of the investment. On an SKAS basis, as of December 31, 2016, the balance of the money trusts for which we guaranteed the principal was ￦3,520 billion.

If the income from a money trust for which we provide a guarantee is less than the amount of the payments we have guaranteed, we will need to pay the amount of the shortfall with funds from special reserves maintained

59

with respect to trust accounts followed by basic fees from that money trust and funds from our general banking operations. In 2014, 2015 and 2016, we made no payment from our banking accounts to cover shortfalls in our guaranteed trusts. On an SKAS basis, we derived trust fees with regard to trust account management services (including those fees related to property trust management services) of ￦198 billion in 2014, ￦235 billion in 2015 and ￦174 billion in 2016.

Property Trust Management Services

We also offer property trust management services, where we managenon-cash assets in return for a fee.Non-cash assets include mostly securities, but can also include other liquid receivables and real estate. Under these arrangements, we render custodial services for the property in question and collect fee income in return.

In 2016, our property trust fees ranged from 0.001% to 0.3% of total assets under management depending on the type of trust accounts. On an SKAS basis, as of December 31, 2016, the aggregate balance of our property trusts increased to ￦6,862 billion, compared to ￦2,344 billion as of December 31, 2015 and ￦1,879 billion as of December 31, 2014.

Under IFRS, the property trusts are not consolidated within our financial statements.

Investment Trust Management

Through KB Asset Management and KB Securities, we offer investment trust products to customers and manage the funds invested by them in investment trusts. As of December 31, 2016, KB Asset Management and KB Securities had an aggregate of ￦52,234 billion of investment trust assets under management.

Management of the National Housing Urban Fund

The National Housing Urban Fund is a government fund that provides financial support tolow-income households in Korea by providing mortgage financing and construction loans for projects to buildsmall-sized housing. The operations of the National Housing Urban Fund include providing and managing National Housing Urban Fund loans, issuing National Housing Urban Fund bonds and collecting subscription savings deposits.

In February 2013, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (formerly the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs) designated us as one of the managers of the National Housing Urban Fund. In 2016, we received total fees of ￦31 billion for managing the National Housing Urban Fund, compared to ￦29 billion in 2015 and ￦23 billion in 2014.

The financial accounting for the National Housing Urban Fund is entirely separate from our financial accounting, and thenon-performing loans and loan losses of the National Housing Urban Fund, in general, do not impact our financial condition. Regulations and guidelines for managing the National Housing Urban Fund are issued by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport pursuant to the Housing Act.

Bancassurance

Through the bancassurance operations of Kookmin Bank, we offer insurance products of other institutions to retail customers in Korea. We currently market a wide range of bancassurance products and seek to generate additionalfee-based revenues by expanding our offering of these products.

Currently, our bancassurance business has alliances with 18 life insurance companies (including our subsidiary, KB Life Insurance) and ninenon-life insurance companies (including our affiliate, KB Insurance) and offers 68 different products through our branch network. These products are composed of 47 types of life insurance policies, such as annuities, savings insurance and variable life insurance, and 21 types ofnon-life insurance products. In 2016, our commission income from our bancassurance business amounted to ￦79 billion.

60

Insurance

Through KB Life Insurance Co., Ltd., we offer a variety of individual and group life insurance products, including annuities, savings insurance, variable life insurance, whole life insurance and term life insurance as well as health insurance. KB Life Insurance utilizes itsmulti-channel distribution platform to market these products, which includes sales through agents, financial consultants, telemarketers and bancassurance arrangements with commercial banks and other financial institutions.

In June 2015, we acquired a 19.47% stake in KB Insurance Co., Ltd. (formerly named LIG Insurance Co., Ltd.), a publicly listed Korean property and casualty insurance company. In November 2015 and December 2016, we increased our shareholding in KB Insurance to 33.29% and 39.81%, respectively. KB Insurance is accounted for as an equity method investee in our consolidated financial statements. KB Insurance providesnon-life insurance products, including automobile insurance, property insurance, marine insurance, fire insurance, accident insurance and casualty insurance, as well aslong-term care insurance. We expect to achieve synergies between KB Life Insurance and KB Insurance throughcross-selling our life andnon-life insurance products and expanding our customer base. We are seeking to increase our equity interest in KB Insurance to 100% and to convert it to a wholly owned subsidiary, through a tender offer scheduled to expire in May 2017 and a comprehensive stock swap scheduled to be completed in July 2017. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Overview—Acquisitions.”

Consumer Finance

We provide consumer finance services through KB Capital Co., Ltd. We acquired 52.02% of the outstanding shares of KB Capital (formerly known as Woori Financial Co., Ltd.) in March 2014. KB Capital provides leasing services and installment finance services for various products, including automobiles, heavy machineries and medical equipment, as well as microlending services. We expect KB Capital to continue to expand our customer base by providing a variety ofnon-banking financial services to retail customers, as well as synergies through coordinated business operations with our other subsidiaries, including Kookmin Bank. We are seeking to increase our equity interest in KB Capital to 100% and to convert it to a wholly owned subsidiary, through a tender offer scheduled to expire in May 2017 and a comprehensive stock swap scheduled to be completed in July 2017. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Overview—Acquisitions.”

Distribution Channels

Banking Branch Network

As of December 31, 2016, Kookmin Bank operated a network of 1,130 branches andsub-branches in Korea, which was one of the largest branch networks among Korean commercial banks. An extensive branch network is important to attracting and maintaining retail customers, who use branches extensively and value convenience. We believe that our extensive branch network in Korea and retail customer base provide us with a source of stable and relatively low cost funding. Approximately 35.8% of our branches andsub-branches are located in Seoul, and approximately 23.7% of our branches are located in the six next largest cities. The following table presents the geographical distribution of our branch network in Korea as of December 31, 2016:

Area	Number of Branches		Percentage
Seoul		405		35.8	%
Six largest cities (other than Seoul)		268		23.7
Other		457		40.5
Total		1,130		100.0	%

In addition, we have continued to implement the specialization of our branch functions. Of our branch network as of December 31, 2016, we had four branches that primarily handled large corporate banking.

61

In order to support our branch network, we have established an extensive network of ATMs, which are located in branches and in unmanned outlets known as “autobanks.” As of December 31, 2016, we had 8,479 ATMs.

We have actively promoted the use of these distribution outlets in order to provide convenient service to customers, as well as to maximize the marketing and sales functions at the branch level, reduce employee costs and improve profitability. The aggregate number of transactions conducted using our ATMs amounted to approximately 573 million in 2014, 548 million in 2015 and 505 million in 2016.

Internet Banking

Our goal is to consolidate our position as a market leader inon-line banking. Our Internet banking services currently include:

• basic banking services, including fund transfers, balance and transaction inquiries,pre-set automatic transfers, product inquiries,on-line bill payments and foreign exchange services;

• investment services, including opening deposit accounts and investing in funds;

• processing of loan applications;

• electronic certification services, which permit our Internet banking service users to authenticate transactions on a confidential basis through digital signatures; and

• wealth management and advisory services, including financial planning and real estate information services.

Phone Banking

We offer a variety of phone banking services, includinginter-account fund transfers, balance and transaction inquiries, customer service inquiries and bill payments. We also have call centers, which we primarily use to:

• advise clients with respect to deposits, loans and credit cards and to provide our customers a way to report any emergencies with respect to their accounts;

62

• allow our customers to conduct transactions with respect to their accounts, such as balance and transfer inquiries, transfers or payments and opening accounts; and

• conduct telemarketing to our customers or potential customers to advertise products or services.

Smartphone Banking

“KB Star Banking,” our mobile banking application for smartphones, allows our customers the flexibility to conduct a variety of financial transactions, including balance and transaction inquiries, fund transfers and asset management, anywhere at any time. Our smartphone banking services currently include:

• basic banking services, including fund transfers, balance and transaction inquiries, bill payments and foreign exchange services;

• investment services, including investing in savings deposits that are designed specifically for and offered to smartphone banking customers; and

• processing of loan applications and bancassurance services.

We also continue to develop innovative mobile applications that cater to specific customer needs and lifestyles. For example, we recently launched “Liiv,” a mobile banking platform designed to make routine transactions easier for our customers, including providing easy access to banking services without the additional electronic certification process, foreign currency exchange services with lower fees and functions that allow customers to easily split bills and transfer money. We offer our customers a number of other useful tools, such as “KB Star Alerts,” which provides customers with free text messages that contain real-time account activity information as well as security alerts, and “KB My Money,” a mobile application that allows customers to manage a wide range of assets deposited with various financial institutions.

Other Channels

We provide cash management services, which include automatic transfers, connection services to other financial institutions,real-time firm banking, automatic fund concentration and transmittal of trading information.

Distribution Channels for Other Services

Through ournon-banking subsidiaries, we operate a network of dedicated branches and other distribution channels through which our customers can access credit card, securities brokerage, life insurance and consumer finance products and services. The following table sets forth information regarding the number and geographical distribution of the branches (including wealth management centers) operated by KB Kookmin Card and KB Securities as of December 31, 2016:

Area	KB Kookmin Card		KB Securities
Seoul		7		41
Six largest cities (other than Seoul)		7		26
Other		11		48

KB Life Insurance and KB Capital also operate a number of branches in the Seoul area.

We also provide credit card, securities brokerage, life insurance and consumer finance services through dedicated call centers, smartphone applications and Internet websites operated by KB Kookmin Card, KB Securities, KB Life Insurance and KB Capital.

63

Competition

We compete principally with other financial institutions in Korea, including other financial holding companies and nationwide commercial banks, as well as regional banks, development banks, specialized banks and branches of foreign banks operating in Korea. We also compete for customer funds with other types of financial service institutions, including savings institutions (such as mutual savings and finance companies and credit unions and credit cooperatives), investment institutions (such as merchant banking corporations), life insurance companies, securities companies and other financial investment companies. Competition in the domestic banking industry is generally based on the types and quality of the products and services offered, including the size and location of retail networks, the level of automation and interest rates charged and paid.

Competition has increased significantly in our traditional core businesses, retail banking,small- andmedium-sized enterprise banking and credit card lending, contributing to some extent to the asset quality deterioration in retail andsmall- andmedium-sized loans. As a result, our margins on lending activities may decrease in the future.

In addition, general regulatory reforms in the Korean financial industry have increased competition among banks and other financial institutions in Korea. As the reform of the financial sector continues, foreign financial institutions, some with greater resources than us, have entered, and may continue to enter, the Korean market either by themselves or in partnership with existing Korean financial institutions and compete with us in providing financial and related services.

Furthermore, the introduction of Internet primary banks in Korea is expected to increase competition in the Korean banking industry. Internet primary banks operate only a small number of or without branches and conduct most of their operations through electronic means, which enable them to minimize cost and offer customers higher interest rates on deposits or lower lending rates. In April 2017, KBank, the first Internet primary bank in Korea, commenced operations. Kakao Bank, another Internet primary bank, in which we hold a 10% equity interest, is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2017.

Moreover, the Korean financial industry is undergoing significant consolidation. The number of nationwide commercial banks in Korea has decreased from 16 as of December 31, 1997, to six as of December 31, 2016. A number of significant mergers and acquisitions in the industry have taken place in Korea in recent years, including Hana Financial Group’s acquisition of a controlling interest in Korea Exchange Bank in February 2012 and the subsequent merger of Hana Bank into Korea Exchange Bank in September 2015. In addition, as part of the Korean government’s plans to privatize Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the financial holding company of Woori Bank), certain subsidiaries of Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. were sold to other financial institutions and Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. itself was merged into Woori Bank in 2014. Most recently, in April 2016, Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. acquired a 43% interest in KDB Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., which changed its name to Mirae Asset Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., and in December 2016, Mirae Asset Securities merged with and into Mirae Asset Daewoo Securities to become the largest securities company in Korea in terms of capital. We expect that consolidation in the Korean financial industry will continue. The financial institutions resulting from such consolidation may, by virtue of their increased size and business scope, provide significantly greater competition for us. We intend to review potential acquisition opportunities as they arise. We cannot guarantee that we will not be involved in any future mergers or acquisitions.

Information Technology

We regularly implement various ITsystem-related initiatives and upgrades at the group and subsidiary level. We believe that continuous improvement of our IT systems is crucial in supporting our operations and management and providinghigh-quality customer service. Accordingly, we continue to upgrade and improve our systems through various activities, including projects to develop next generation banking systems for Kookmin Bank, further strengthen system security and timely develop and implement various new IT systems and services (includinggroup-wide software) that support our business operations and risk management activities.

64

Ourmainframe-based banking and credit card IT systems are designed to ensure continuity of services even where there is a failure of the host data center due to a natural disaster or other accidents by utilizing backup systems in disaster recovery data centers. In addition, through the implementation of Parallel Sysplex, a“multi-CPU system,” our bank and credit card systems are designed and operated to be able to process transactions without material interruption in the event of CPU failure. In 2010, we launched anext-generation banking and credit card IT system that is designed to ensure greater reliability in financial transactions and allow more efficient development of new financial products. We also launched a new disaster recovery system to ensure continuity of operations. In addition, we implemented new technologies, including Multi Channel Integration and Enterprise Application Integration systems, to standardize our IT system and better manage IT system operational risk.

The integrity of our IT systems, and their ability to withstand potential catastrophic events (such as natural calamities and internal system failures), are crucial to our continuing operations. We currently test our disaster recovery systems on a quarterly basis. For additional information, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Operational Risk Management.”

In 2016, we spent approximately ￦570 billion for our IT system implementation and operations, including expenses related to the construction of new IT systems, implementation of hardware and software technologies and other new systems, as well as related labor costs.

As of December 31, 2016, we employed a total of 1,311full-time employees in our IT operations.

Maturity Analysis

We typically roll over our working capital loans and unsecured consumer loans (other than those payable in installments) after we conduct our normal loan review in accordance with our loan review procedures. Working capital loans may generally be extended on an annual basis for an aggregate term of five years and unsecured consumer loans may generally be extended for another term of up to 12 months for an aggregate term of 10 years.

The following table sets out the scheduled maturities (time remaining until maturity) of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2016. The amounts disclosed are before deduction of allowances for loan losses:

Credit Exposures to Companies in Workout, Restructuring or Rehabilitation

Workout is a voluntary procedure through which we, together with the borrower and other creditors, seek to restore the borrower’s financial stability and viability. Previously, workouts were regulated under a series of

69

Corporate Restructuring Promotion Acts, which last expired on December 31, 2015. In March 2016, the National Assembly of Korea adopted a new Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act, which is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2018. Under the new Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act, creditors of a financially troubled borrower may participate in a creditors’ committee, which is authorized to prohibit such creditors from exercising their rights against the borrower, commence workout procedures and approve or make revisions to a reorganization plan prepared by the lead creditor bank, the borrower and external experts. The composition of the creditors’ committee is determined at the initial meeting of the committee by the approval of creditors holding not less than 75% of the borrower’s total outstanding debt held by creditors who were notified of the initial meeting of the committee. Although creditors that are not financial institutions or hold less than 1% of the total outstanding debt of the borrower need not be notified of the initial meeting of the creditors’ committee, if such creditors wish to participate, they may not be excluded. Any decision of the creditors’ committee requires the approval of creditors holding not less than 75% of the total outstanding debt of the borrower. However, if a single creditor holds 75% or more of the borrower’s total outstanding debt held by the creditors comprising the creditors’ committee, any decision of the creditors’ committee requires the approval of not less than 40% of the total number of creditors (including such single creditor) comprising the committee. An additional approval of creditors holding not less than 75% of the secured debt is required with respect to the borrower’s debt restructuring. Once approved, any decision made by the creditors’ committee is binding on all creditors of the borrower, with the exception of those creditors that were excluded by a resolution of the committee at its initial meeting and those who exercised their right to request that their claims be purchased. Creditors that voted against commencement of workout, approval or revision of the reorganization plan, debt restructuring, granting of new credit, extension of the joint management process or other resolutions of the committee have the right to request the creditors that voted in favor of such matters to purchase their claims at a mutually agreed price. In the event that the parties are not able to agree on the terms of purchase, a coordination committee consisting of experts would determine the terms. The creditors that oppose a decision made by the coordination committee may request a court to change such decision.

Upon approval of the workout plan, a credit exposure is initially classified as precautionary or lower and thereafter cannot be classified higher than precautionary with limited exceptions. If a corporate borrower is in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation, we take the status of the borrower into account in valuing our loans to and collateral from that borrower for purposes of establishing our allowances for credit losses.

Korean law also provides for corporate rehabilitation proceedings, which arecourt-supervised procedures to rehabilitate an insolvent company. Under these procedures, a restructuring plan is adopted at a meeting of interested parties, including creditors of the company. Such restructuring plan is subject to court approval.

A portion of our loans to and debt securities of corporate customers are currently in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation. As of December 31, 2016, ￦483 billion or 0.1% of our total loans and debt securities were in workout, restructuring or rehabilitation.This included ￦184 billion of loans to and debt securities of large corporate borrowers and ￦299 billion of loans to and debt securities ofsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises.

Provisioning Policy

We establish allowances for loan losses with respect to loans to absorb such losses. We assess individually significant loans on acase-by-case basis and other loans on a collective basis. In addition, if we determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for a loan, we include such loan in a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics and assess them collectively for impairment regardless of whether such loan is significant. For individually significant loans, allowances for loan losses are recorded if objective evidence of impairment exists as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition. For collectively assessed loans, we base the level of allowances for loan losses on our evaluation of the risk characteristics of such loans, taking into account such factors as historical loss experience, the financial condition of the borrowers and current economic conditions. If additions or changes to the allowances for loan losses are required, then we record a provision for loan losses, which is included in impairment losses on credit loss and treated as a charge against current income. Credit exposures that we deem to be uncollectible, including actual loan losses, net of recoveries of previouslycharged-off amounts, are charged directly against the allowances for loan losses. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Critical Accounting Policies—Impairment of Loans and Allowances for Loan Losses.”

We generally consider the following loans to be impaired loans:

• loans that are past due by 90 days or more;

• loans that are subject to legal proceedings related to collection;

• loans to a borrower that has received a warning from the Korea Federation of Banks indicating that such borrower has exhibited difficulties in making timely payments of principal and interest;

• loans to corporate borrowers that are rated C or D according to Kookmin Bank’s internal credit ratings for large companies orsmall-andmedium-sized enterprises;

• loans for whichaccount-specific provisions have been made resulting from a significant perceived decline in credit quality; and

• loans with respect to which the amount of principal and interest payable has been materially decreased due to restructuring.

71

The actual amount of incurred loan losses may vary from loss estimates due to changing economic conditions or changes in industry or geographic concentrations. We have procedures in place to monitor differences between estimated and actual incurred loan losses, which include detailed periodic assessments by senior management of both individual loans and loan portfolios and the use of models to estimate incurred loan losses in those portfolios.

We regularly evaluate the adequacy of the overall allowances for loan losses and we believe that the allowances for loan losses reflect our best estimate of probable loan losses as of each balance sheet date.

Non-Accrual Loans and Past Due Accruing Loans

We generally consider impaired loans to benon-accrual loans. However, we exclude fromnon-accrual status and continue to accrue interest on loans that are fully secured by cash on deposit or on which there are financial guarantees from the government, Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation or certain financial institutions.

We generally recognize interest income on non-accrual loans using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows of such loans for purposes of measuring impairment loss, as well as upon receipt of cash interest payments. We reclassify loans as accruing when interest and principal payments areup-to-date and future payments of principal and interest are reasonably assured.

Interest foregone is the interest due onnon-accrual loans that has not been accrued in our books of account. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we would have recorded gross interest income of ￦195 billion compared to ￦220 billion for the year ended December 31, 2015, ￦275 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014, ￦332 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013 and ￦309 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012 on loans accounted for on anon-accrual basis throughout the year, or since origination for loans held for part of the year, had we not foregone interest on those loans. The amount of interest income on those loans that was included in our profit for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 was ￦187 billion, ￦206 billion, ￦175 billion, ￦151 billion and ￦129 billion, respectively.

72

The following table shows, as of the dates indicated, the amount of loans that were placed on anon-accrual basis and accruing loans which were past due 90 days or more. The category “accruing but past due 90 days” includes loans which are still accruing interest but on which principal or interest payments are contractually past due 90 days or more.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The following table presents, as of the dates indicated, our loans that are “troubled debt restructurings” for which we, for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to the debtor that we would not otherwise consider. These loans consist principally of corporate loans that have been restructured (through the process of workout, court receivership or composition) and which are accruing interest at rates lower than the original contractual terms as a result of a variation of terms upon restructuring.

	As of December 31,
	2012		2013		2014		2015		2016
	(in billions of Won)
Loans classified as “troubled debt restructurings”	￦	465	￦	269	￦	256	￦	228	￦	168

For 2016, interest income that would have been recorded under the original contract terms of restructured loans amounted to ￦11 billion, out of which ￦7 billion was reflected as interest income during 2016.

Potential Problem Loans

We classify potential problem loans as loans that are designated as “early warning loans” and reported to the Financial Services Commission. “Early warning loans” are loans extended to borrowers that have been (i) identified by our early warning system as exhibiting signs of credit risk based on the relevant borrower’s financial data, credit information and/or transactions with banks and, following such identification and (ii) designated by our loan officers as potential problem borrowers based on their evaluation of known information about such borrowers’ possible credit problems. Such loans are required to be reported on a quarterly basis to the Financial Services Commission. If a borrower’s loans are designated as “early warning loans” pursuant to the process described above and included in our quarterly report to the Financial Services Commission, we consider such borrowers to have serious doubt as to their ability to comply with repayment terms in the near future.

As of December 31, 2016, we had ￦1,704 billion of potential problem loans.

73

Other Problematic Interest Earning Assets

We have certain other interest earning assets received in connection with troubled debt restructurings that, if they were loans, would be required to be disclosed as part of thenon-accrual, past due or restructuring or potential problem loan disclosures provided above. As of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, we did not have any debt securities received in connection with troubled debt restructurings on which interest was past due.

Non-Performing Loans

Non-performing loans are defined as loans that are past due by 90 days or more. These loans are generally classified as “substandard” or below. For further information on the classification ofnon-performing loans under Korean regulatory requirements, see “—Regulatory Reserve for Credit Losses” below.

⁽¹⁾  If the estimated recovery value of collateral for anon-performing loan is sufficient compared to the outstanding loan balance, we record no allowances for loan losses for suchnon-performing loan.

Non-Performing Loan Strategy

One of our primary objectives is to prevent our loans from becomingnon-performing. Through our corporate credit rating systems, we believe that we have reduced our risks relating to futurenon-performing loans. Our credit rating systems are designed to prevent our loan officers from extending new loans to borrowers with high credit risks based on the borrower’s credit rating. Our early warning system is designed to bring any sudden increase in a borrower’s credit risk to the attention of our loan officers, who then closely monitor such loans. See “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk Management—Credit Review and Monitoring.”

Notwithstanding the above, if a loan becomesnon-performing, an officer at the branch level responsible for monitoringnon-performing loans will commence a due diligence review of the borrower’s assets, send a notice either demanding payment or stating that we will take legal action and prepare for legal action.

At the same time, we also initiate ournon-performing loan management process, which begins with:

• identifying loans subject to a proposed sale by assessing the estimated losses from such sale based on the estimated recovery value of collateral, if any, for suchnon-performing loans;

• identifying loans subject tocharge-off based on the estimated recovery value of collateral, if any, for suchnon-performing loans and the estimated rate of recovery of unsecured loans; and

75

• on a limited basis, identifying corporate loans subject to normalization efforts based on thecash-flow situation of the borrower.

Once the details of anon-performing loan are identified, we pursue early solutions for recovery. While the overall process is the responsibility of Kookmin Bank’s Credit Division, actual recovery efforts onnon-performing loans are handled at the operating branch level.

In addition, we use the services of ourwholly-owned loan collection subsidiary, KB Credit Information Co., Ltd., which receives payments from recoveries made oncharged-off loans and certain loans that are overdue for over three months (28 days on average in the case of credit card loans). KB Credit Information has approximately 140 employees, including legal experts and management employees. The fees that it receives are based on the amounts ofnon-performing and charged off loans that are recovered. In 2014, 2015 and 2016, the amount recovered was ￦443 billion, ￦395 billion and ￦404 billion, respectively.

Methods for resolvingnon-performing loans include the following:

• non-performing loans are managed by the operating branches of Kookmin Bank until such loans are charged off;

• a demand note is dispatched by mail if payment is generally one month past due;

• calls and visits are made by Kookmin Bank’s operating branches to customers encouraging them to make payments;

• borrowers who are past due on payments of interest and principal are registered on the Korea Federation of Banks’ database ofnon-performing loans;

• for unsecured loans other than credit card loans, the loans are transferred to KB Credit Information for collection on acase-by-case basis;

• for secured loans, actions to enforce or protect the security interests (including foreclosure and auction of the collateral) are commenced within four months of such loans becoming past due; and

• charged off loans are given to KB Credit Information for collection, except for loans where the cost of collection exceeds the possible recovery or where the statute of limitations for collection has expired.

In addition, credit card loans that are in arrears for over 28 days on average are transferred to KB Credit Information for collection.

If a loan becomesnon-performing, it is managed by an operating branch of Kookmin Bank until such loan is charged off. However, in order to promote speedy recovery on loans subject to foreclosures and litigation, our policy is to permit the branch responsible for handling these loans to request one of Kookmin Bank’s regional head offices for assistance with litigation proceedings and proceedings related to foreclosure and auction of the collateral.

In addition to making efforts to collect on thesenon-performing loans, we also undertake measures to reduce the level of ournon-performing loans, which include:

• selling ournon-performing loans to third parties, including the Korea Asset Management Corporation; and

• entering into asset securitization transactions with respect to ournon-performing loans.

We generally expect to suffer a partial loss on loans that we sell or securitize, to the extent such sales and securitizations are recognized under IFRS as sale transactions.

Regulatory Reserve for Credit Losses

If our allowances for credit losses are deemed insufficient for regulatory purposes, we are required to compensate for the difference by recording a regulatory reserve for credit losses, which is segregated within our retained earnings. Regulatory reserve for credit losses are not available for distribution to shareholders as dividends.The level of regulatory reserve for credit losses required to be recorded is equal to the amount by which our allowances for credit losses under IFRS are less than the greater of (x) the amount of expected loss calculated using the internalratings-based approach under Basel III and as approved by the Financial Supervisory Service and (y) the required amount of credit loss reserve calculated based on standards prescribed by the Financial Services Commission. As of December 31, 2016, our regulatory reserve for credit losses was ￦2,670 billion.

The following tables set forth the Financial Services Commission’s guidelines for the classification of loans and the minimum percentages of the outstanding principal amount of the relevant loans or balances that the credit loss reserve must cover:

Loan Classification	Loan Characteristics
Normal	Loans extended to customers that, based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, do not raise concerns regarding their ability to repay the loans.
Precautionary	Loans extended to customers that (i) based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, show potential risks with respect to their ability to repay the loans, although showing no immediate default risk or (ii) are in arrears for one month or more but less than three months.
Substandard	(i) Loans extended to customers that, based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, are judged to have incurred considerable default risks as their ability to repay has deteriorated; or

78

Loan Classification	Loan Characteristics
	(ii) the portion that we expect to collect of total loans (a) extended to customers that have been in arrears for three months or more, (b) extended to customers that have incurred serious default risks due to the occurrence of, among other things, final refusal to pay their debt instruments, entry into liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings or closure of their businesses, or (c) extended to customers who have outstanding loans that are classified as “doubtful” or “estimated loss.”
Doubtful	Loans exceeding the amount that we expect to collect of total loans to customers that: (i) based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, have incurred serious default risks due to noticeable deterioration in their ability to repay; or (ii) have been in arrears for three months or more but less than six months (or three months or more but less than 12 months in the case of loans of Kookmin Bank).
Estimated loss	Loans exceeding the amount that we expect to collect of total loans to customers that: (i) based on our consideration of their business, financial position and future cash flows, are judged to be accounted as a loss because the inability to repay became certain due to serious deterioration in their ability to repay; (ii) have been in arrears for six months or more (or 12 months or more in the case of loans of Kookmin Bank); or (iii) have incurred serious risks of default in repayment due to the occurrence of, among other things, final refusal to pay their debt instruments, liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings or closure of their business.

LoanCharge-Offs

Basic Principles

We attempt to minimize loans to be charged off by adhering to a sound credit approval process based on credit risk analysis prior to extending loans and a systematic management of outstanding loans. However, ifcharge-offs are necessary, we charge off loans subject to ourcharge-off policy at an early stage in order to maximize accounting transparency, to minimize any waste of resources in managing loans which have a low probability of being collected and to reduce ournon-performing loan ratio.

Loans To Be Charged Off

Loans are charged off if they are deemed to be uncollectible by falling under any of the following categories:

• loans for which collection is not foreseeable due to insolvency, bankruptcy, compulsory execution, disorganization, dissolution or the shutting down of the business of the debtor;

79

• loans for which collection is not foreseeable due to the death or disappearance of the debtor;

• loans for which expenses of collection exceed the collectable amount;

• loans on which collection is not possible through legal or any other means;

• payments in arrears in respect of credit cards that have been overdue for a period of six months or more and have been classified as expected loss (excluding instances where there has been partial payment of the overdue balance, where a related balance is not overdue or where a charge off is not possible due to Korean regulations); and

• the portion of loans classified as “estimated loss,” net of any recovery from collateral, which is deemed to be uncollectible.

Procedure forCharge-off Approval

In order to charge off corporate loans, an application for acharge-off must be submitted to Kookmin Bank’s Credit Management Department promptly after the corporate loan is classified as estimated loss or deemed uncollectible. The Credit Management Department refers thecharge-off application to Kookmin Bank’s Branch Audit Department for their review to ensure compliance with our internal procedures forcharge-offs. Then, the Credit Management Department, after reviewing the application to confirm that it meets relevant requirements, seeks an approval from the Financial Supervisory Service for ourcharge-offs, which is typically granted. Once we receive approval from the Financial Supervisory Service, we must also obtain approval from our senior management to charge off those loans.

With respect to credit card balances and unsecured retail loans, we follow a different process to determine which credit card balances and unsecured retail loans should be charged off, based on the length of time those loans or balances are past due. We charge off unsecured retail loans deemed to be uncollectible and credit card balances which have been overdue for a period of six months or more or which have been deemed to be uncollectible under IFRS.

Treatment of Loans Charged Off

Once loans are charged off, we classify them ascharged-off loans and remove them from our balance sheet. These loans are managed based on a different set of procedures. We continue our collection efforts in respect of these loans, including through our subsidiary, KB Credit Information, although loans may be charged off before we begin collection efforts in some circumstances.

If a collateralized loan is overdue, we will, typically within one year from the time that such loan became overdue (or after a longer period in certain circumstances), petition a court to foreclose and sell the collateral through acourt-supervised auction. If a debtor ultimately fails to repay and the court grants its approval for foreclosure, we will sell the collateral, net of expenses incurred from the auction.

Investment Portfolio

Investment Policy

We invest in and tradeWon-denominated and, to a lesser extent, foreigncurrency-denominated securities for our own account to:

• maintain the stability and diversification of our assets;

• maintain adequate sources ofback-up liquidity to match our funding requirements; and

• supplement income from our core lending activities.

80

In making securities investments, we take into account a number of factors, including macroeconomic trends, industry analysis and credit evaluation in determining whether to make particular investments in securities.

Our investments in securities are also subject to a number of guidelines, including limitations prescribed under the Financial Holding Company Act and the Bank Act. Under these regulations, a bank holding company may not own (i) more than 5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of anotherfinance-related company, (ii) any shares of its affiliates, other than its direct or indirect subsidiaries or (iii) any shares of anon-finance-related company. In addition, Kookmin Bank must limit its investments in equity securities and bonds with a maturity in excess of three years (other than monetary stabilization bonds issued by the Bank of Korea and national government bonds) to 100.0% of its total Tier I and Tier II capital amount (less any capital deductions). Generally, Kookmin Bank is also prohibited from acquiring more than 15.0% of the shares with voting rights issued by any other corporation subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Bank Act, a bank and its trust accounts are prohibited from acquiring the shares of a major shareholder (for the definition of “major shareholder,” see “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Financial Exposure to Any Individual Customer and Major Shareholder”) of that bank in excess of an amount equal to 1% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions). Further information on the regulatory environment governing our investment activities is set out in “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Liquidity,” “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Restrictions on Shareholdings in Other Companies,” “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Liquidity” and “—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Restrictions on Shareholdings in Other Companies.”

The following table sets out the definitions of the four categories of securities we hold:

Category	Classification
Financial assets held for trading	Financial assets bought and held for trading.
Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss	Financial assets which were not bought and held for trading but are otherwise designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets	Non-derivative financial assets not classified asheld-to-maturity, at fair value through profit or loss or loans and receivables.
Held-to-maturity financial assets	Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.

See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Securities and Financial Instruments.”

We also hold limited balances of venture capital securities,non-marketable and restricted equity securities and derivative instruments.

Funding

We obtain funding for our lending activities from a variety of sources, both domestic and foreign. Our principal source of funding is customer deposits. In addition, we acquire funding throughlong-term borrowings (comprising debentures and debts),short-term borrowings, including borrowings from the Bank of Korea, and call money.

Our primary funding strategy has been to achievelow-cost funding by increasing the average balances oflow-cost retail deposits, in particular demand deposits and time deposits. We also have focused our marketing efforts on higher net worth individuals, who account for a significant portion of the assets in our retail deposit base. Customer deposits accounted for 82.4% of total funding as of December 31, 2014, 82.1% of total funding as of December 31, 2015 and 79.7% of total funding as of December 31, 2016.

Our borrowings consist of issuances of debentures and debt from financial institutions, the Korean government andgovernment-affiliated funds. The majority of our debt islong-term, with maturities ranging from one year to 30 years.

Deposits

Although the majority of our deposits areshort-term, it has been our experience that the majority of our depositors generally roll over their deposits at maturity, providing us with a stable source of funding.

The following table shows the average balances of our deposits and the average rates paid on our deposits for the periods indicated:

Supervision and Regulation

Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies

General

The Financial Holding Company Act, last amended on July 31, 2015, regulates Korean financial holding companies and their subsidiaries. The entities that regulate and supervise Korean financial holding companies and their subsidiaries are the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service.

The Financial Services Commission exerts direct control over financial holding companies pursuant to the Financial Holding Company Act. Among other things, the Financial Services Commission approves the establishment of financial holding companies, issues regulations on the capital adequacy of financial holding companies and their subsidiaries, and drafts regulations relating to the supervision of financial holding companies.

Following the instructions and directives of the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service supervises and examines financial holding companies and their subsidiaries. In particular, the Financial Supervisory Service sets requirements relating to Korean financial holding companies’ liquidity and capital

86

adequacy ratios and establishes reporting requirements within the authority delegated under the Financial Services Commission regulations. Financial holding companies must submit quarterly reports to the Financial Supervisory Service discussing business performance, financial status and other matters identified in the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act.

Under the Financial Holding Company Act, a financial holding company is a company which primarily engages in controlling its subsidiaries by holding equity stakes in them equal in aggregate to at least 50% of the financial holding company’s aggregate assets based on its balance sheet as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year. A company is required to obtain approval from the Financial Services Commission to become a financial holding company.

A financial holding company may engage only in controlling the management of its subsidiaries, as well as certain ancillary activities including:

• financially supporting its direct and indirect subsidiaries;

• raising capital necessary for investment in its subsidiaries or providing financial support to its direct and indirect subsidiaries;

• supporting the business of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including the development and marketing of financial products;

• providing data processing, legal, accounting and other resources and services that have been commissioned by its direct and indirect subsidiaries so as to support their operations; and

• any other businesses exempted from authorization, permission or approval under the applicable laws and regulations.

The Financial Holding Company Act requires every financial holding company (other than a financial holding company that is controlled by another financial holding company) and its subsidiaries to obtain prior approval from the Financial Services Commission before acquiring control of another company or to file a report with the Financial Services Commission within 30 days thereafter in certain cases (including acquiring control of another company whose assets are less than ￦100 billion as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year). In addition, the Financial Services Commission must grant permission to liquidate or to merge with any other company before the liquidation or merger. A financial holding company must report to the Financial Services Commission when certain events, including the following, occur:

• when the largest shareholder changes;

• in the case of a bank holding company, when a major investor changes;

• when the shareholding of the controlling shareholder (i.e., the “largest shareholder” or a “principal shareholder,” each as defined in the Financial Holding Company Act) or a person who has a “special relationship” with such controlling shareholder (as defined in the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act) changes by 1% or more of the total issued and outstanding voting shares of the financial holding company;

• when it changes its corporate name;

• when there is a cause for its dissolution; and

• when it or its subsidiaries cease to control any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries by disposing of their shares of such direct or indirect subsidiary.

Capital Adequacy

The Financial Holding Company Act does not provide for a minimumpaid-in capital requirement related to financial holding companies. However, all financial holding companies are required to maintain a specified level

87

of solvency. In addition, with respect to the allocation of net profit earned in a fiscal term, a financial holding company must set aside in its legal reserve an amount equal to at least 10% of its net income after tax each time it pays dividends on its net profits earned until its legal reserve reaches at least the aggregate amount of itspaid-in capital.

A bank holding company, which is a financial holding company controlling banks or other financial institutions conducting banking business as prescribed in the Financial Holding Company Act, was required to maintain a total minimum consolidated capital adequacy ratio of 8.875% (including applicable additional capital buffers and requirements as described below) as of December 31, 2016. “Consolidated capital adequacy ratio” is defined as the ratio of equity capital as a percentage ofrisk-weighted assets on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with the Financial Services Commission requirements that have been formulated based on Bank of International Settlements (“BIS”) standards. “Equity capital,” as applicable to bank holding companies, is defined as the sum of common equity Tier I capital, additional Tier I capital and Tier II capital less any deductible items, each as defined under the Regulation on the Supervision of Financial Holding Companies.“Risk-weighted assets” is defined as the sum of creditrisk-weighted assets and marketrisk-weighted assets.

Pursuant to amended regulations promulgated by the Financial Services Commission commencing in 2013 to implement Basel III, Korean bank holding companies were required to maintain a minimum ratio of common equity Tier I capital torisk-weighted assets of 3.5% and Tier I capital torisk-weighted assets of 4.5% from December 1, 2013, which minimum ratios were increased to 4.0% and 5.5%, respectively, from January 1, 2014 and increased further to 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively, from January 1, 2015. Such requirements are in addition to thepre-existing requirement for a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) torisk-weighted assets of 8.0%, which remains unchanged. The amended regulations also require an additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625% in 2016 and 1.25% in 2017, with such buffer to increase in stages to 2.5% by 2019, as well as a potential counter-cyclical capital buffer of up to 2.5% by 2019, which is determined on a quarterly basis by the Financial Services Commission. Furthermore, we were designated as one of five domestic systemically important banks for 2016 by the Financial Services Commission and were subject to an additional capital requirement of 0.25% in 2016. In December 2016, we were again designated as a domestic systemically important bank for 2017, which would subject us to an additional capital requirement of 0.50% in 2017, if deemed necessary, with such potential requirement to increase in stages to 1.0% by 2019.

Liquidity

All financial holding companies are required to match the maturities of their assets and liabilities on anon-consolidated basis in accordance with the Financial Holding Company Act in order to ensure liquidity. Financial holding companies must:

• maintain a Won liquidity ratio (defined as Won assets due within one month, including marketable securities, divided by Won liabilities due within one month) of not less than 100% on anon-consolidated basis;

• maintain a foreign currency liquidity ratio (defined as foreign currency liquid assets due within three months divided by foreign currency liabilities due within three months) of not less than 80% on anon-consolidated basis (except that such requirement is not applicable to a financial holding company whose foreign currency liabilities constitute less than 1% of its total assets);

• maintain a ratio of foreign currency liquid assets due within seven days less foreign currency liabilities due within seven days as a percentage of total foreign currency assets of not less than 0% on anon-consolidated basis (except that such requirement is not applicable to a financial holding company whose foreign currency liabilities constitute less than 1% of its total assets);

• maintain a ratio of foreign currency liquid assets due within a month less foreign currency liabilities due within a month as a percentage of total foreign currency assets of not less than negative 10% on anon-consolidated basis (except that such requirement is not applicable to a financial holding company whose foreign currency liabilities constitute less than 1% of its total assets);and

88

• make quarterly reports regarding their Won liquidity and foreign currency liquidity to the Financial Supervisory Service.

Financial Exposure to Any Individual Customer and Major Investor

Subject to certain exceptions, the aggregate credit (as defined in the Financial Holding Company Act, the Bank Act, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the Insurance Business Act, the Mutual Savings Bank Act and the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, respectively) of a financial holding company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries that are banks, merchant banks, financial investment companies, insurance companies, savings banks or specialized credit financial business companies (which we refer to as “Financial Holding Company Total Credit”) to a single group of companies that belong to the same conglomerate as defined in the Monopoly Regulations and Fair Trade Act will not be permitted to exceed 25% of net aggregate equity capital (as defined below).

“Net aggregate equity capital” is defined under the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act as the sum of:

(1) in case of a financial holding company, the capital amount as defined in Article24-3(7), Item 2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act;

(2) in case of a bank, the capital amount as defined in Article 2(1), Item 5 of the Bank Act;

(3) in case of a merchant bank, the capital amount as defined in Article 342(1) of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act; and

(6) in case of a savings bank, the capital amount as defined in Article 2, Item 4 of the Mutual Savings Bank Act; and

(7) in case of a specialized credit financial business company, the capital amount as defined in Article 2, Item 19 of the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act;

less the sum of:

(1) the amount of shares of direct and indirect subsidiaries held by the financial holding company;

(2) the amount of shares that arecross-held by each direct and indirect subsidiary that is a bank, merchant bank, financial investment company, insurance company, savings bank or specialized credit financial business company; and

(3) the amount of shares of a financial holding company held by such direct and indirect subsidiaries that are banks, merchant banks, financial investment companies, insurance companies, savings banks or specialized credit financial business companies.

The Financial Holding Company Total Credit to a single individual or judicial person may not exceed 20% of the net aggregate equity capital. In addition, the Financial Holding Company Total Credit to a shareholder holding (together with the persons who have a “special relationship” with the shareholder, as defined in the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act) in aggregate more than 10% of the total issued and outstanding voting shares of a financial holding company generally may not exceed the lesser of (x) 25% of the net aggregate equity capital and (y) the amount of the equity capital of the financial holding company multiplied by the shareholding ratio of the shareholder (together with the persons who have a special relationship with the shareholder).

89

Further, the total sum of credits (as defined in the Financial Holding Company Act, the Bank Act, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the Insurance Business Act, the Mutual Savings Bank Act and the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, respectively) of a bank holding company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries that are banks, merchant banks, financial investment companies, insurance companies, savings banks or specialized credit financial business companies as applicable (“Bank Holding Company Total Credit”) extended to a “major investor” (as defined below) (together with the persons who have a special relationship with that major investor) will not be permitted to exceed the lesser of (x) 25% of the net aggregate equity capital and (y) the amount of the equity capital of the bank holding company multiplied by the shareholding ratio of the major investor, except for certain cases.

“Major Investor” is defined as:

• a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with that shareholder), in excess of 10% (or in the case of a bank holding company controlling regional banks only, 15%) in the aggregate of the bank holding company’s total issued and outstanding voting shares; or

• a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with that shareholder), more than 4% in the aggregate of the total issued and outstanding voting shares of the bank holding company controlling nationwide banks, where the shareholder is the largest shareholder or has actual control over the major business affairs of the bank holding company through, for example, appointment and dismissal of the officers pursuant to the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act.

In addition, the total sum of the Bank Holding Company Total Credit granted to all of a bank holding company’s major investor must not exceed 25% of the bank holding company’s net aggregate equity capital. Furthermore, any bank holding company that, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, intends to extend credit to the bank holding company’s major investor in an amount equal to or exceeding the lesser of (x) the amount equivalent to 0.1% of the net aggregate equity capital and (y) ￦5 billion, in any single transaction, must obtain prior unanimous board resolutions and then, immediately after providing the credit, must file a report to the Financial Services Commission and publicly disclose the filing of the report.

Restrictions on Transactions Among Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries and Financial Holding Company

Generally, a direct or indirect subsidiary of a financial holding company may not extend credits (excluding the amount of corporate credit card payments issued by a direct or indirect subsidiary of a financial holding company that is engaged in the banking business) to that financial holding company. In addition, a direct or indirect subsidiary of a financial holding company may not extend credits (excluding the amount of corporate credit card payments issued by a direct or indirect subsidiary of a financial holding company that is engaged in the banking business) to other direct or indirect subsidiaries of the financial holding company in excess of 10% of its capital amount on an individual basis or to those subsidiaries in excess of 20% of its capital amount on an aggregate basis. The subsidiary extending the credit must also obtain an adequate level of collateral depending on the type of such collateral from the other subsidiaries unless the credit is otherwise approved by the Financial Services Commission. The adequate level of collateral for each type of collateral is as follows:

Subject to certain exceptions, a direct or indirect subsidiary of a financial holding company is also prohibited from owning the shares of the financial holding company controlling that direct or indirect subsidiary. The transfer of certain assets classified as precautionary or below between a financial holding company and its direct or indirect subsidiary or between the direct and indirect subsidiaries of a financial holding company is prohibited except for:

Sharing of Customer Information among Financial Holding Company and its Subsidiaries

Under the Act on Use and Protection of Credit Information, any individual customer’s credit information must be disclosed or otherwise used by financial institutions only to determine, establish or maintain existing commercial transactions with them and only after obtaining written consent to use that information. Under the Financial Holding Company Act, a financial holding company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, however, may share certain credit information of individual customers among themselves for internal management purposes outlined in the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act (such as credit risk management, internal control and customer analysis), without the customers’ written consent, subject to the methods and procedures for provision of such information set forth therein. A subsidiary financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license of a financial holding company may provide that financial holding company and its other direct and indirect subsidiaries information relating to the aggregate amount of cash or securities that a customer of the financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license has deposited, for internal management purposes outlined in the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Holding Company Act, subject to the methods and procedures for provision of such information set forth therein. Recent amendments to the Financial Holding Company Act, which became effective on November 29, 2014, limit the scope of credit information that may be shared without the customers’ prior consent and require certain

93

procedures for provision of customer information as prescribed by the Financial Services Commission. Beginning in May 29, 2015, notice must be given to customers at least once a year regarding (i) the provider of customer information, (ii) the recipient of customer information, (iii) the purpose of providing the information and (iv) the categories of the information provided.

Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks

The banking system in Korea is governed by the Bank Act of 1950, as amended (the “Bank Act”) and the Bank of Korea Act of 1950, as amended (the “Bank of Korea Act”). In addition, Korean banks are subject to the regulations and supervision of the Bank of Korea, the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Korea, the Financial Services Commission and its executive body, the Financial Supervisory Service.

The Bank of Korea, established in June 1950 under the Bank of Korea Act, performs the customary functions of a central bank. It seeks to contribute to the sound development of the national economy by price stabilization through establishing and implementing efficient monetary and credit policies. The Bank of Korea acts under instructions of the Monetary Policy Committee, the supremepolicy-making body of the Bank of Korea.

Under the Bank of Korea Act, the Monetary Policy Committee’s primary responsibilities are to formulate monetary and credit policies and to determine the operations, management and administration of the Bank of Korea.

The Financial Services Commission, established on April 1, 1998, regulates commercial banks pursuant to the Bank Act, including establishing guidelines on capital adequacy of commercial banks, and promulgates regulations relating to supervision of banks. Furthermore, pursuant to the Amendment to the Government Organization Act and the Bank Act on May 24, 1999, the Financial Services Commission, instead of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, now regulates market entry into the banking business.

The Financial Supervisory Service, established on January 2, 1999, is subject to the instructions and directives of the Financial Services Commission and carries out supervision and examination of commercial banks. In particular, the Financial Supervisory Service sets requirements both for the prudent control of liquidity and for capital adequacy and establishes reporting requirements pursuant to the authority delegated to it under the Financial Services Commission regulations, pursuant to which banks are required to submit annual reports on financial performance and shareholdings, regular reports on management strategy andnon-performing loans, includingwrite-offs, and management of problem companies and plans for the settlement of bad loans.

Under the Bank Act, approval to commence a commercial banking business or along-term financing business must be obtained from the Financial Services Commission. Commercial banking business is defined as the lending of funds acquired predominantly from the acceptance of demand deposits for a period not exceeding one year or subject to the limitation established by the Financial Services Commission, for a period between one year and three years.Long-term financing business is defined as the lending, for periods in excess of one year, of funds acquired predominantly frompaid-in capital, reserves or other retained earnings, the acceptance of time deposits with maturities of at least one year, or the issuance of debentures or other bonds. A bank wishing to enter into any business other than commercial banking andlong-term financing businesses, such as the trust business, must obtain approval from the Financial Services Commission. Approval to merge with any other banking institution, to liquidate, to spin off, to close a banking business or to transfer all or a part of a business must also be obtained from the Financial Services Commission.

If the Financial Services Commission deems a bank’s financial condition to be unsound or if a bank fails to meet the applicable capital adequacy ratio set forth under Korean law, the Financial Services Commission may order:

• admonitions, warnings or reprimands with respect to its officers and employees;

94

• capital increases or reductions;

• assignments of contractual rights and obligations relating to financial transactions;

• a suspension of performance by its officers of their duties and the appointment of receivers;

• stock cancellations or consolidations;

• disposals of property holdings;

• closures of subsidiaries or branch offices or downsizing;

• mergers with other financial institutions;

• acquisition of such bank by a third party; or

• suspensions of a part or all of its business operations.

The Bank Act requires nationwide banks, such as us, to maintain a minimumpaid-in capital of ￦100 billion and regional banks to maintain a minimumpaid-in capital of ￦25 billion. All banks, including foreign bank branches in Korea, are also required to maintain a prescribed solvency position. A bank must also set aside in its legal reserve an amount equal to at least 10% of the net income after tax each time it pays dividends on net profits earned until its legal reserve reaches at least the aggregate amount of itspaid-in capital.

Under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, the capital of a bank is divided into two categories, Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier I capital (core capital) consists of (i) common equity Tier I capital, includingpaid-in capital, capital surplus and retained earnings related to common equity and accumulated other comprehensive gains and losses, and (ii) additional Tier I capital, includingpaid-in capital and capital surplus related to hybrid Tier I capital instruments that, among other things, qualify as contingent capital and are subordinated to subordinated debt. Tier II capital (supplementary capital) consists of, among other things, capital and capital surplus from the issuance of Tier II capital, allowances for loan losses on loans classified as “normal” or “precautionary,” subordinated debt and other capital securities which meet the standards prescribed by the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service under Article 26(2) of the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business.

All banks must meet minimum ratios of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) torisk-weighted assets, determined in accordance with Financial Services Commission requirements that have been formulated based on BIS standards. These requirements were adopted and became effective in 1996, and were amended effective January 1, 2008 upon the implementation by the Financial Supervisory Service of Basel II. Under such requirements, all domestic banks and foreign bank branches were required to meet a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) torisk-weighted assets of 8%. Commencing in July 2013, the Financial Services Commission promulgated amended regulations implementing Basel III in Korea, pursuant to which Korean banks and bank holding companies were required to maintain a minimum ratio of common equity Tier I capital torisk-weighted assets of 3.5% and Tier I capital torisk-weighted assets of 4.5% from December 1, 2013, which minimum ratios were increased to 4.0% and 5.5%, respectively, from January 1, 2014 and increased further to 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively, from January 1, 2015. Such requirements are in addition to thepre-existing requirement for a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) torisk-weighted assets of 8.0%, which remains unchanged. The amended regulations also require an additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625% starting in 2016, with such buffer to increase in stages to 2.5% by 2019, as well as a potential counter-cyclical capital buffer of up to 2.5% by 2019, which is determined on a quarterly basis by the Financial Services Commission. Furthermore, we were designated as one of five domestic systemically important banks for 2016 by the Financial Services Commission and were subject to an additional capital requirement of 0.25% in 2016. In December 2016, we were again designated as a domestic systemically important bank for 2017, which would subject us to an additional capital requirement of 0.50% in 2017, if deemed necessary, with such potential requirement to increase in stages to 1.0% by 2019.

Under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, the followingrisk-weight ratios must be applied by Korean banks in respect of home mortgage loans:

(1) for those banks which adopted a standardized approach for calculating credit risk capital requirements, arisk-weight ratio of 35% (only in the case where the loan is fully secured by a first ranking mortgage) and, with respect tohigh-risk home mortgage loans, 50% or 70%; and

(2) for those banks which adopted an internalratings-based approach for calculating credit risk capital requirements, arisk-weight ratio calculated with reference to the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, each as defined under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business.

Liquidity

All banks are required to ensure adequate liquidity by matching the maturities of their assets and liabilities in accordance with the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business. Banks may not invest an amount exceeding 100% of their Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) in equity securities and certain other securities with a redemption period of over three years. This stipulation does not apply to Korean government bonds, Monetary Stabilization Bonds issued by the Bank of Korea or debentures and stocks referred to in items 1 and 2, respectively, of paragraph (6) of Article 11 of the Act on the Improvement of the Structure of the Financial Industry. The Financial Services Commission uses the liquidity coverage ratio (described below) as the principal liquidity risk management measure, and currently requires each Korean bank to:

• maintain a liquidity coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of highly liquid assets to total net cash outflows over a30-day period) of not less than 90%, from January 1, 2017 until December 31, 2017, with such minimum liquidity coverage ratio to increase in increments of 5% per annum to 100% by 2019;

• maintain a foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio of not less than 60% from January 1, 2017 until December 31, 2017, with such minimum foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio to increase in increments of 10% per annum to 80% by 2019; provided, however, that the foreign currency liquidity ratio (defined as the ratio of foreign currency assets due within three months to foreign currency liabilities due within three months) would apply if the amount of foreign currency assets and the ratio of foreign currency liabilities to total liabilities are less than the respective amount and ratio, or in certain other cases, specified under the Bank Act and the regulations thereunder; and

• submit monthly reports with respect to the maintenance of these ratios.

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Korea is empowered to fix and alter minimum reserve requirements that banks must maintain against their deposit liabilities. The current minimum reserve ratios are:

• 7% of average balances for Won currency demand deposits outstanding;

• 0% of average balances for Won currency employee asset establishment savings deposits, employeelong-term savings deposits, employee house purchase savings deposits,long-term house purchase savings deposits, householdlong-term savings deposits and employee preferential savings deposits outstanding (with respect toemployee-related deposits, only if such deposits were made prior to February 28, 2013); and

• 2% of average balances for Won currency time deposits, installment savings deposits, mutual installments, housing installments and certificates of deposit outstanding.

For foreign currency deposit liabilities, a 2% minimum reserve ratio is applied to time deposits with a maturity of one month or longer, certificates of deposit with a maturity of 30 days or longer and savings deposits with a maturity of six months or longer and a 7% minimum reserve ratio is applied to other deposits. A 1% minimum reserve ratio applies to deposits in offshore accounts, immigrant accounts and resident accounts opened by foreign exchange banks as well as foreign currency certificates of deposit held by account holders of such offshore accounts, immigrant accounts and resident accounts opened by foreign exchange banks.

96

Furthermore, under the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, Kookmin Bank is required to maintain a minimum“mid- tolong-term foreign exchange funding ratio” of 100%.“Mid-to long term foreign exchange funding ratio” refers to the ratio of (1) the total outstanding amount of foreign exchange borrowing with a maturity of more than one year to (2) the total outstanding amount of foreign exchange lending with a maturity of one year or more.

Financial Exposure to Any Individual Customer and Major Shareholder

Under the Bank Act, subject to certain exceptions, the sum of large exposures by a bank—in other words, the total sum of its credits to single individuals, juridical persons or business groups that exceed 10% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions)—generally must not exceed five times the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions). In addition, subject to certain exceptions, banks generally may not extend credit (including loans, guarantees, purchases of securities (only in the nature of a credit) and any other transactions that directly or indirectly create credit risk) in excess of 20% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to a single individual or juridical person, or grant credit in excess of 25% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to a single group of companies as defined in the Monopoly Regulations and Fair Trade Act.

The Bank Act imposes restrictions on the extension of credits by banks to a major shareholder. A “major shareholder” is defined as:

• a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with that shareholder) in excess of 10%; (or 15% in the case of regional banks) in the aggregate of the bank’s total issued and outstanding voting shares; or

• a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with such shareholder) in excess of 4% in the aggregate of the bank’s (excluding regional banks) total issued and outstanding voting shares of a bank (excluding shares subject to the shareholding restrictions on“non-financial business group companies” as described below), where such shareholder is the largest shareholder or has actual control over the major business affairs of the bank through, for example, appointment and dismissal of the officers pursuant to the Enforcement Decree of the Bank Act.Non-financial business group companies primarily consist of: (i) any single shareholding group whosenon-financial company assets comprise no less than 25% of its aggregate net assets; (ii) any single shareholding group whosenon-financial company assets comprise no less than ￦2 trillion in aggregate; or (iii) any mutual fund of which any single shareholding group identified in (i) or (ii) above, owns more than 4% of the total issued and outstanding shares.

Banks may not extend credits to a major shareholder (together with persons who have a special relationship with that shareholder) in an amount greater than the lesser of (x) 25% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) and (y) the relevant major shareholders’ shareholding ratio multiplied by the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions). In addition, the total sum of credits granted to all major shareholders must not exceed 25% of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions).

Interest Rates

Korean banks generally depend on deposits as their primary funding source. Under the Act on Registration of Credit Business and Protection of Finance Users, last amended on March 3, 2016, interest rates on loans made by registered banks in Korea may not exceed 27.9% per annum. Such restriction on interest rates is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2018. Historically, interest rates on deposits and lending were regulated by the Monetary Policy Committee. Controls on deposit interest rates in Korea have been gradually reduced and, in February 2004, the Korean government removed restrictions on all interest rates, except for the prohibition on interest payments on current account deposits. This deregulation process has increased competition for deposits based on interest rates offered and, therefore, may increase a bank’s interest expense.

97

Lending toSmall- andMedium-sized Enterprises

In order to obtain funding from the Bank of Korea at concessionary rates for theirsmall- andmedium-sized enterprise loans, banks are required to allocate a certain minimum percentage of any quarterly increase in their Won currency lending tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises. Currently, this minimum percentage is 45% in the case of nationwide banks and 60% in the case of regional banks. If a bank does not comply with this requirement, the Bank of Korea may:

• require the bank to prepay all or a portion of funds provided to that bank in support of loans tosmall- andmedium-sized enterprises; or

• lower the bank’s credit limit.

Disclosure of Management Performance

For the purpose of protecting depositors and investors in commercial banks, the Financial Services Commission requires commercial banks to publicly disclose certain material matters, including:

• financial condition and profit and loss of the bank and its subsidiaries;

• fund raising by the bank and the appropriation of such funds;

• any sanctions levied on the bank under the Bank Act or any corrective measures or sanctions under the Law on Improvement of Structure of Financial Industry; and

• except as may otherwise have been disclosed by a bank or its financial holding company listed on the KRX KOSPI Market in accordance with the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, occurrence of any of the following events or any other event as prescribed by the applicable regulations:

(i) loans bearing no profit made to a single business group in an amount exceeding 10% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) as of the end of the previous month (where the loan exposure to that borrower is calculated pursuant to the criteria under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business), unless the loan exposure to that group is not more than ￦4 billion; and

(ii) any loss due to court judgments or similar decisions in civil proceedings in an amount exceeding 1% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) as of the end of the previous month, unless the loss is not more than ￦1 billion.

Restrictions on Lending

Pursuant to the Bank Act, commercial banks may not provide:

• loans directly or indirectly secured by a pledge of a bank’s own shares;

• loans directly or indirectly to enable a natural or juridical person to buy the bank’s own shares;

• loans to any of the bank’s officers or employees, other thande minimis loans of up to (i) ￦20 million in the case of a general loan, (ii) ￦50 million in the case of a general loan plus a housing loan or (iii) ￦60 million in the aggregate for general loans, housing loans and loans to pay damages arising from wrongful acts of employees in financial transactions;

• credit (including loans) secured by a pledge of shares of a subsidiary corporation of the bank or to enable a natural or juridical person to buy shares of a subsidiary corporation of the bank; or

• loans to any officers or employees of a subsidiary corporation of the bank, other than general loans of up to ￦20 million or general and housing loans of up to ￦50 million in the aggregate.

98

Regulations Relating to Retail Household Loans

The Financial Services Commission has implemented a number of changes in recent years to the regulations relating to retail household lending by banks. Under the currently applicable regulations:

• as to loans secured by a collateral of housing (including apartments) located nationwide, theloan-to-value ratio (the aggregate principal amount of loans secured by such collateral over the appraised value of the collateral) should not exceed 60% (other than loans secured by collateral of housing (regardless of housing type or location) to be amortized over a period of ten years, for which theloan-to-value ratio should not exceed 70% as described below);

• as to apartments located in areas of high speculation as designated by the government, a borrower is permitted to have only one new loan secured by such apartment;

• where a borrower has two or more loans secured by apartments located in areas of high speculation as designated by the government, the loan with the earliest maturity date must be repaid first and the number of loans must be eventually reduced to one; and

• in the case of a borrower (i) whose spouse already has a loan secured by housing or (ii) who is single and under 30 years old, thedebt-to-income ratio of the borrower in respect of loans secured by apartment(s) located in areas of high speculation as designated by the government should not exceed 40%.

Restrictions on Investments in Property

A bank may not invest in securities set forth below in excess of 100% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions):

• debt securities (within the meaning of paragraph (3) of Article 4 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act) the maturity of which exceeds three years, but excluding government bonds, monetary stabilization bonds issued by the Bank of Korea and bonds within the meaning of item 2, paragraph (6) of Article 11 of the Act on the Improvement of the Structure of the Financial Industry;

A bank may possess real estate property only to the extent necessary for the conduct of its business. The aggregate value of such property may not exceed 60% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions). Any property that a bank acquires by exercising its rights as a secured party, or which a bank is prohibited from acquiring under the Bank Act, must be disposed of within three years, unless specified otherwise by the regulations thereunder.

Restrictions on Shareholdings in Other Companies

Under the Bank Act, a bank may not own more than 15% of shares outstanding with voting rights of another corporation, except where, among other reasons:

• that corporation engages in a category of financial businesses set forth by the Financial Services Commission; or

• the acquisition of shares by the bank is necessary for the corporate restructuring of such corporation and is approved by the Financial Services Commission.

• In the above cases, the total investment in corporations in which the bank owns more than 15% of the outstanding shares with voting rights may not exceed (i) 15% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) or (ii) 30% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) where the acquisition satisfies the requirements determined by the Financial Services Commission.

The Bank Act provides that a bank using its bank accounts and its trust accounts is not permitted to acquire the shares issued by the major shareholder of such bank in excess of an amount equal to 1% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions).

Restrictions on Bank Ownership

Under the Bank Act, a single shareholder and persons who have a special relationship with that shareholder generally may acquire beneficial ownership of no more than 10% of a nationwide bank’s total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights and no more than 15% of a regional bank’s total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights. The Korean government, the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation and bank holding companies qualifying under the Financial Holding Company Act are not subject to this limit. However, pursuant to an amendment to the Bank Act which became effective on February 14, 2014,non-financial business group companies may not acquire beneficial ownership of shares of a nationwide bank in excess of 4% (or 15% in the case of a regional bank) of that bank’s outstanding voting shares, unless they satisfy certain requirements set forth by the Enforcement Decree of the Banking Act, obtain the approval of the Financial Services Commission and agree not to exercise voting rights in respect of shares in excess of the 4% limit (or the 15% limit in the case of a regional bank), in which case they may acquire beneficial ownership of up to 10% of a nationwide bank’s outstanding voting shares. Such amendment grants an exception fornon-financial business group companies which, at the time of the enactment of the amended provisions, held more than 4% of the shares of a bank.

In addition, if a foreign investor, as defined in the Foreign Investment Promotion Act, owns in excess of 4% of a nationwide bank’s outstanding voting shares,non-financial business group companies may acquire beneficial ownership of up to 10% (or 15% in the case of a regional bank) of that bank’s outstanding voting shares, and in excess of 10% (or 15% in the case of a regional bank), 25% or 33% of that bank’s outstanding

100

voting shares with the approval of the Financial Services Commission in each instance, up to the number of shares owned by the foreign investor. Any other person (whether a Korean national or a foreign investor), with the exception ofnon-financial business group companies described above, may acquire no more than 10% of a nationwide bank’s total voting shares issued and outstanding, unless they obtain approval from the Financial Services Commission in each instance where the total holding will exceed 10% (or 15% in the case of regional banks), 25% or 33% of the bank’s total voting shares issued and outstanding provided that, in addition to the foregoing threshold shareholding ratios, the Financial Services Commission may, at its discretion, designate a separate and additional threshold shareholding ratio.

Deposit Insurance System

The Depositor Protection Act provides insurance for certain deposits of banks in Korea through a deposit insurance system. Under the Depositor Protection Act, all banks governed by the Bank Act are required to pay an insurance premium to the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation on a quarterly basis and the rate is determined under the Enforcement Decree to the Depositor Protection Act. If the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation makes a payment on an insured amount, it will acquire the depositors’ claims with respect to that payment amount. The Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation insures a maximum of ￦50 million per individual for deposits and interest in a single financial institution, regardless of when the deposits were made and the size of the deposits.

Laws and Regulations Governing Other Business Activities

A bank must register with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance to enter the foreign exchange business, which is governed by the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act of Korea. A bank must obtain the permission of the Financial Services Commission to enter the securities business, which is governed by regulations under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. Under these laws, a bank may engage in the foreign exchange business, securities repurchase business, governmental/public bond underwriting business and governmental bond dealing business.

Trust Business

A bank must obtain approval from the Financial Services Commission to engage in trust businesses. The Trust Act and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act govern the trust activities of banks, and they are subject to various legal and accounting procedures and requirements, including the following:

• under the Trust Act, assets accepted in trust by a bank in Korea must be segregated from other assets in the accounts of that bank; and

• depositors and other general creditors cannot obtain or assert claims against the assets comprising the trust accounts in the event the bank is liquidated orwound-up.

The bank must make a special reserve of 25% or more of fees from each unspecified money trust account for which a bank guarantees the principal amount and a fixed rate of interest until the total reserve for that account equals 5% of the trust amount. Since January 1999, the Korean government has prohibited Korean banks from offering new guaranteed fixed rate trust account products whose principal and interest are guaranteed.

Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which became effective in February 2009, a bank with a trust business license (such as Kookmin Bank) is permitted to offer both specified money trust account products and unspecified money trust account products. Previously, banks were not permitted to offer unspecified money trust account products pursuant to the Indirect Investment Asset Management Act, which is no longer in effect following the effectiveness of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.

101

Credit Card Business

General

In order to enter the credit card business, a company must obtain a license from the Financial Services Commission. Credit card businesses are governed by the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, enacted on August 28, 1997 and last amended on March 29, 2016, which sets forth specific requirements with respect to the credit card business as well as generally prohibiting unsound business practices relating to the credit card business which may infringe on the rights of credit card holders or negatively affect the soundness of the credit card industry. Credit card companies, including ourwholly-owned subsidiary, KB Kookmin Card Co., Ltd., are regulated by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service.

Disclosure and Reports

Under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act and the regulations thereunder, a credit card company is required to disclose on a periodic andon-going basis certain material matters and events. In addition, a credit card company must submit monthly and/or quarterly business reports with respect to its results of operations to the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, in accordance with the guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Service.

Restrictions on Funding

Under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act and the regulations thereunder, a credit card company must ensure that its total assets do not exceed an amount equal to six times its equity capital, and that the ratio of its adjusted equity capital to its adjusted total assets is not less than 8%. However, if a credit card company is unable to comply with such limit upon the occurrence of unavoidable events, such as drastic changes in the domestic and global financial markets, such limit may be adjusted through a resolution of the Financial Services Commission.

Risk of Loss Due to Lost, Stolen, Forged or Altered Credit Cards

Under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, a credit card company is liable for any loss arising from the unauthorized use of credit cards or debit cards after it has received notice from the holder of the loss or theft of the card. A credit card company is also responsible for any losses resulting from the use of forged or altered credit cards, debit cards andpre-paid cards. A credit card company may, however, transfer all or part of this latter risk of loss to holders of credit card in the event of willful misconduct or gross negligence by holders of credit card if the terms and conditions of the agreement entered between the credit card company and members of such cards specifically provide for that transfer.

For these purposes, disclosure of a customer’s password that is made intentionally or through gross negligence, or the transfer of or giving as collateral of the credit card or debit card, is considered willful misconduct or gross negligence. However, a disclosure of a cardholder’s password that is made under irresistible force or threat to cardholder or his/her relatives’ life or health will not be deemed as willful misconduct or negligence of the cardholder.

Each credit card company must institute appropriate measures to fulfill these obligations, such as establishing provisions, purchasing insurance or joining a cooperative association.

Pursuant to the Enforcement Decree to Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, a credit card company will be liable for any losses arising from loss or theft of a credit card (which was not from the holder’s willful misconduct or negligence) during the period beginning 60 days before the notice by the holder to the credit card company.

102

Pursuant to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, the Financial Services Commission may either restrict the limit or take other necessary measures against the credit card company with respect to such matters as the maximum limits on the amount per credit card, details of credit card terms and conditions, management of credit card merchants and collection of claims, including the following:

• maximum limits for cash advances on credit cards;

• use restrictions on debit cards with respect to per day or per transaction usage;

• aggregate issuance limits and maximum limits on the amount per card onpre-paid cards; and

• other matters prescribed by the Enforcement Decree to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act.

Lending Ratio in Ancillary Business

Pursuant to the Enforcement Decree to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act, a credit card company must maintain an aggregate quarterly average outstanding lending balance to credit cardholders (including cash advances and credit card loans, but excluding restructured loans) no greater than the sum of (i) its aggregate quarterly average outstanding credit card balance arising from the purchase of goods and services and (ii) the aggregate quarterly debit card transaction volume.

Issuance of New Cards and Solicitation of New Cardholders

The Enforcement Decree to the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act establishes the conditions under which a credit card company may issue new cards and solicit new members. New credit cards may be issued only to the following persons:

• persons who are at least 19 years old when they apply for a credit card;

• persons whose capability to pay bills as they come due has been verified using standards established by the credit card company; and

• in the case of minors who are 18 years old, persons who submit documents evidencing employment as of the date of the credit card application, such as an employment certificate, or persons for whom the issuance of a credit card is necessitated by governmental policies, such as financial aid.

In addition, a credit card company may not solicit credit card members by:

• providing economic benefits or promising to provide economic benefits in excess of 10% of the annual credit card fee (in the case of credit cards with annual fees that are less than the average of the annual fees charged by the major credit cards in Korea, the annual fee will be deemed to be equal to such average annual fee) in connection with issuing a credit card; provided, however, that providing economic benefits or promising to provide economic benefits not exceeding the amount of the annual credit card fee to an applicant that becomes a credit card member through an online platform is permissible;

• soliciting applicants on roads, public places or along corridors used by the general public;

• soliciting applicants through visits, except those visits made upon prior consent and visits to a business area;

• soliciting applicants through the Internet without verifying whether the applicant is who he or she purports to be, by means of a certified digital signature under the Digital Signature Act; and

• soliciting applicants through pyramid sales methods.

103

Compliance Rules on Collection of Receivable Claims

Pursuant to Supervisory Regulation on the Specialized Credit Financial Business, a credit card company may not:

�� exert violence or threaten violence;

• inform a related party (a guarantor of the debtor, blood relative or fiancée of the debtor, a person living in the same household as the debtor or a person working in the same workplace as the debtor) of the debtor’s obligations without just cause;

• provide false information relating to the debtor’s obligation to the debtor or his or her related parties;

• threaten to sue or sue the debtor for fraud despite lack of affirmative evidence to establish that the debtor has submitted forged or false documentation with respect to his/her capacity to make payment;

• visit or telephone the debtor during late evening hours (between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.); and

• utilize other uncustomary methods to collect the receivables that interfere with the privacy or the peace in the workplace of the debtor or his or her related parties.

Regulations on Class Actions Regarding Securities

The Law on Class Actions Regarding Securities was enacted as of January 20, 2004 and last amended on May 28, 2013. The Law on Class Actions Regarding Securities governs class actions suits instituted by one or more representative plaintiff(s) on behalf of 50 or more persons who claim to have been damaged in a capital markets transaction involving securities issued by a listed company in Korea.

Applicable causes of action with respect to such suits include:

• claims for damages caused by misleading information contained in a securities statement;

• claims for damages caused by the filing of a misleading business report,semi-annual report, or quarterly report;

• claims for damages caused by insider trading or market manipulation; and

• claims instituted against auditors for damages caused by accounting irregularities.

Any such class action may be instituted upon approval from the presiding court and the outcome of such class action will have a binding effect on all potential plaintiffs who have not joined the action, with the exception of those who have filed an opt out notice with such court.

Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act

On July 3, 2007, the National Assembly of Korea passed the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a new law consolidating six laws regulating capital markets. The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act became effective in February 2009.

The following is a summary of the major changes introduced under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.

Consolidation of CapitalMarkets-Related Laws

Prior to the effectiveness of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, there were separate laws regulating various types of financial institutions depending on the type of financial institution (for example,

104

securities companies, futures companies, trust business companies and asset management companies) and subjecting financial institutions to different licensing and ongoing regulatory requirements (for example, the Korean Securities Exchange Act, the Futures Business Act and the Indirect Investment Asset Management Business Act). By applying one uniform set of rules to the same financial business having the same economic function, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act attempts to improve and address issues caused by the current regulatory system under which the same economic function relating to capitalmarkets-related businesses are governed by multiple regulations. To this end, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act categorizes capitalmarkets-related businesses into six different functions, as follows:

• dealing (trading and underwriting of “financial investment products” (as defined below)),

• brokerage (brokerage of financial investment products),

• collective investment (establishment of collective investment schemes and the management thereof),

• investment advice,

• discretionary investment management, and

• trusts (together with the five businesses set forth above, the “Financial Investment Businesses”).

Therefore, all financial businesses relating to financial investment products have been reclassified as one or more of the Financial Investment Businesses described above, and financial institutions are subject to the regulations applicable to their relevant Financial Investment Business(es), irrespective of the type of the financial institution (for example, in principle, derivative businesses conducted by former securities companies and futures companies are subject to the same regulations under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act).

The banking business and insurance business are not subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and continue to be regulated under separate laws. However, they may become subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act if their activities involve any financial investment businesses requiring a license pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.

Comprehensive Definition of Financial Investment Products

In an effort to encompass the various types of securities and derivative products available in the capital markets, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act sets forth a comprehensive term “financial investment products,” defined to mean all financial products with a risk of loss in the invested amount (in contrast to “deposits,” which are financial products for which the invested amount is protected or preserved). Financial investment products are classified into two major categories: (i) “securities” (relating to financial investment products where the risk of loss is limited to the invested amount) and (ii) “derivatives” (relating to financial investment products where the risk of loss may exceed the invested amount). As a result of the general andopen-ended manner in which financial investment products are defined, any future financial product could potentially come within the scope of the definition of financial investment products, thereby enabling Financial Investment Companies (as defined below) to handle a broader range of financial products. Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, securities companies, asset management companies, futures companies and other entities engaging in any Financial Investment Business are classified as “Financial Investment Companies.”

New License System and the Conversion of Existing Licenses

Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, Financial Investment Companies are able to choose what Financial Investment Business to engage in (via a “check the box” method set forth in the relevant license application), by specifying the desired (i) Financial Investment Business, (ii) financial investment product and (iii) target customers to which financial investment products may be sold or dealt to (i.e., general investors or professional investors). Licenses will be issued under the specific business

105

sub-categories described in the foregoing sentence. For example, it would be possible for a Financial Investment Company to obtain a license to engage in the Financial Investment Business of (i) dealing (ii) over the counter derivatives products (iii) only with sophisticated investors.

Financial institutions that engage in business activities constituting a Financial Investment Business are required to take certain steps, such as renewal of their license or registration, in order to continue engaging in such business activities. Financial institutions that are not licensed Financial Investment Companies are not permitted to engage in any Financial Investment Business, subject to the following exceptions: (i) banks and insurance companies are permitted to engage in certain categories of Financial Investment Business; and (ii) other financial institutions that engaged in any Financial Investment Business prior to the effective date of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (whether in the form of a concurrent business or an incidental business) are permitted to continue such Financial Investment Business for a period not exceeding six months commencing on the effective date of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.

Expanded Business Scope of Financial Investment Companies

Under the previous regulatory system in Korea, it was difficult for a financial institution to explore a new line of business or expand upon its existing line of business. For example, a financial institution licensed as a securities company generally was not permitted to engage in the asset management business. In contrast, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, pursuant to the integration of its current businesses involving financial investment products into a single Financial Investment Business, a licensed Financial Investment Company is permitted to engage in all types of Financial Investment Businesses, subject to satisfying relevant regulations (for example, maintaining an adequate “Chinese Wall,” to the extent required). As to incidental businesses (i.e., a financial related business which is not a Financial Investment Business), the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act generally allows a Financial Investment Company to freely engage in such incidental businesses by shifting away from the previouspositive-list system towards a more comprehensive system. In addition, a Financial Investment Company is permitted to outsource marketing activities by contracting “introducing brokers” that are individuals but not employees of the Financial Investment Company. Financial Investment Companies are permitted (i) to engage in foreign exchange businesses related to their Financial Investment Business and (ii) to participate in the settlement network, pursuant to an agreement among the settlement network participants.

Improvement in Investor Protection Mechanism

While the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act widens the scope of financial businesses in which financial institutions are permitted to engage, a more rigorousinvestor-protection mechanism is also imposed upon Financial Investment Companies dealing in financial investment products. The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act distinguishes general investors from sophisticated investors and provides new or enhanced protections to general investors. For instance, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act expressly provides for a strictknow-your-customer rule for general investors and imposes an obligation that Financial Investment Companies should market financial investment products suitable to each general investor, using written explanatory materials. Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a Financial Investment Company could be liable if a general investor proves (i) damage or losses relating to such general investor’s investment in financial investment products solicited by such Financial Investment Company and (ii) the absence of the requisite written explanatory materials, without having to prove fault or causation. With respect to conflicts of interest between Financial Investment Companies and investors, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act expressly requires (i) disclosure of any conflict of interest to investors and (ii) mitigation of conflicts of interest to a comfortable level or abstention from the relevant transaction.

106

Other Changes of Securities/Fund Regulations

The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act also affected various securities regulations including those relating to public disclosure, insider trading and proxy contests, which were previously governed by the Korean Securities Exchange Act. For example, the 5% and 10% reporting obligations under the Korean Securities Exchange Act has become more stringent. The Indirect Investment and Asset Management Business Act strictly limited the kind of vehicles that could be utilized under a collective investment scheme, restricting the range of potential vehicles to trusts and corporations, and the type of funds that can be used for investments. However, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, these restrictions have been significantly liberalized, permitting all vehicles that may be created under Korean law, such as limited liability companies or partnerships, to be used for the purpose of collective investments and allowing investment funds to be much more flexible as to their investments.

Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies

The Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies, which became effective on August 1, 2016, was enacted to address the need for strengthened regulations on corporate governance of financial institutions and to serve as a uniform set of regulations on corporate governance matters applicable to financial institutions across a variety of industry sectors. It contains several key measures, including (i) eligibility requirements for officers of financial institutions and standards for determining whether officers of financial institutions may hold concurrent positions in other companies, (ii) standards for composition and operation of the board of directors of financial institutions, (iii) standards for establishment, composition and operation of various committees of the board of directors of financial institutions, (iv) regulations on internal control and risk management, (v) requirements and procedures for the approval of a change of major shareholders and (vi) special regulations to protect the rights of minority shareholders of financial institutions.

Environment

In 2015, our operations became subject to the Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth, which was enacted in April 2010, and the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System Act, which was enacted in May 2012. The Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth and the regulations thereunder establish the greenhouse gas target management system, which requires companies to establish and achieve greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption targets on an annual basis. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System Act and the regulations thereunder establish the Korean emissions trading scheme, under which companies are allocated a limited volume of emission allowances and are allowed to trade excess emission allowances.

We actively seek to engage in environmentally responsible management of our operations. We have developed a program for our operations to achieve energy efficiency objectives and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to lessen our impact on the environment.

Item 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Item 5.A. Operating Results

Overview

The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries over which substantive control is exercised through majority ownership of voting stock and/or other means. Investments in jointly controlled entities and associates (which are companies over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence) are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.

Trends in the Korean Economy

Our financial position and results of operations have been and will continue to be significantly affected by financial and economic conditions in Korea. In recent years, commercial banks, consumer finance companies and other financial institutions in Korea have made significant investments and engaged in aggressive marketing in retail lending (including mortgage and home equity loans), leading to substantially increased competition in this segment. Furthermore, in 2014 and 2015, the Korean government implemented several measures to encourage consumer spending and revive the housing market in Korea, including loosening regulations on mortgage lending, which contributed to an increase in our portfolio of retail loans from ￦119,249 billion as of December 31, 2014 to ￦124,194 billion as of December 31, 2015 and ￦134,956 billion as of December 31, 2016. However, the Korean government introduced measures in the second half of 2016 to tighten regulations on mortgage lending and housing subscription in response to the rapid growth in consumer debt and concerns over speculative investments in real estate in certain areas. Signs of decreases in housing prices following the implementation of such measures, together with the high level of consumer debt, could result in further declines in consumer spending and reduced economic growth, which may lead to increases in delinquency levels of our retail loan portfolio. In 2016, we recorded charge-offs of ￦295 billion and provision for loan losses of ￦82 billion in respect of our retail loan portfolio, compared to charge-offs of ￦354 billion and provision for loan losses of ￦116 billion in 2015 and charge-offs of ￦574 billion and provision for loan losses of ￦340 billion in 2014. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to our retail credit portfolio.”

Our loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprises increased from ￦71,960 billion as of December 31, 2014 to ￦86,065 billion as of December 31, 2016. Substantial growth in lending in Korea to small- andmedium-sized enterprises in recent years, and financial difficulties experienced by such enterprises as a result of, among other things, adverse economic conditions in Korea and globally, may lead to increasing delinquencies and a deterioration in overall asset quality in the credit exposures of Korean banks to small- andmedium-sized enterprises. In 2016, we recorded charge-offs of ￦467 billion in respect of our loans to small- andmedium-sized enterprises, compared to charge-offs of ￦412 billion in 2015 and ￦746 billion in 2014. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to our small- andmedium-sized enterprise loan portfolio—We have significant exposure to small- andmedium-sized enterprises, and any financial difficulties experienced by these customers may result in a deterioration of our asset quality and have an adverse impact on us.”

The Korean economy is closely tied to, and is affected by developments in, the global economy. The overall prospects for the Korean and global economy remain uncertain. In recent years, the global financial markets have experienced significant volatility as a result of, among other things:

• the financial difficulties affecting many governments worldwide, in particular in Europe and Latin America;

• the slowdown of economic growth in China and other major emerging market economies;

• interest rate fluctuations as well as the possibility of further increases in policy rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks; and

111

• political and social instability in various countries in the Middle East, including Syria, Iraq and Yemen, as well as the recent referendum in the United Kingdom in June 2016, in which a majority of voters voted in favor of Brexit.

In light of the high level of interdependence of the global economy, difficult conditions in the global financial markets, including as a result of any of the foregoing developments, could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and financial markets, and in turn on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also exposed to adverse changes and volatility in global and Korean financial markets as a result of our liabilities and assets denominated in foreign currencies and our holdings of trading and investment securities, including structured products. The value of the Won relative to major foreign currencies in general and the U.S. dollar in particular has fluctuated widely in recent years. See “Item 3.A. Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates.” A depreciation of the Won will increase our cost in Won of servicing our foreign currency-denominated debt, while continued exchange rate volatility may also result in foreign exchange losses for us. Furthermore, as a result of adverse global and Korean economic conditions, there has been significant volatility in securities prices, including the stock prices of Korean and foreign companies in which we hold an interest. Such volatility has resulted in and may lead to further trading and valuation losses on our trading and investment securities portfolio as well as impairment losses on our investments accounted for under the equity method.

As a result of volatile conditions and weakness in the Korean and global economies, as well as factors such as the uncertainty surrounding the global financial markets, fluctuations in oil and commodity prices, interest and exchange rate fluctuations, higher unemployment, lower consumer confidence, increased stock market volatility, potential tightening of fiscal and monetary policies and continued tensions with North Korea, the economic outlook for the financial services sector in Korea in 2017 and for the foreseeable future remains uncertain.

Acquisitions

In recent years, we have engaged in a number of acquisitions, which have affected, and may continue to affect, our results of operations from period to period.

In March 2014, we acquired 52.02% of the outstanding shares of Woori Financial Co., Ltd., a publicly listed Korean consumer finance company, from Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. for ￦280 billion, and subsequently renamed the entity KB Capital Co., Ltd. KB Capital is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary. See Note 40 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. As of December 31, 2016, KB Capital had total assets of ￦7,428 billion and total equity of ￦788 billion, and in 2016, its total revenues amounted to ￦473 billion and its profit for the year amounted to ￦97 billion. In April 2017, we launched a tender offer to acquire all of the 10,311,498 common shares of KB Capital that we do not own, representing 47.98% of its outstanding common shares, at a cash tender offer price of ￦27,500 per common share. If all such common shares are tendered in the tender offer, which is scheduled to expire on May 12, 2017, we expect that the total cost of the tender offer (including commissions and certain ancillary expenses) will amount to approximately ￦284 billion, which we intend to fund through borrowings and the issuance of debt securities. In the event that not all such common shares are tendered in the tender offer, we plan to engage in a comprehensive stock swap to exchange the remaining common shares of KB Capital for shares of our common stock (in the form of either newly issued shares or treasury shares), at a swap ratio of 0.5201639 shares of our common stock for each common share of KB Capital. The comprehensive stock swap, which may be subject to approval at a shareholders’ meeting of KB Capital and is scheduled to be completed in July 2017, may result in dilution of the interests of existing holders of our common stock, depending on whether new shares of our common stock are required to be issued in the transaction. We expect that, following the tender offer and the comprehensive stock swap, KB Capital will become our wholly owned subsidiary and will be delisted from the Korea Exchange. The completion of the tender offer and the comprehensive stock swap is subject to a number of conditions and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee that they will be completed as planned.

112

In June 2015, we acquired 19.47% of the outstanding shares of LIG Insurance Co., Ltd., a publicly listed Korean property and casualty insurance company, from a group of individual shareholders for ￦651 billion, and subsequently renamed the entity KB Insurance Co., Ltd. In November 2015, we increased our shareholding in KB Insurance to 33.29% by acquiring its treasury shares for ￦231 billion, and in December 2016, we further increased our shareholding to 39.81% by purchasing new shares of KB Insurance for ￦171 billion in a rights offering. KB Insurance is accounted for as an equity method investee in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. As of December 31, 2016, KB Insurance had total assets of ￦29,439 billion and total equity of ￦2,447 billion, and in 2016, its total revenues amounted to ￦11,318 billion and its profit for the year amounted to ￦302 billion. In April 2017, in addition to the tender offer for common shares of KB Capital, we launched a tender offer to acquire all of the 40,027,241 common shares of KB Insurance that we do not own, representing 60.19% of its outstanding common shares, at a cash tender offer price of ￦33,000 per common share. If all such common shares are tendered in the tender offer, which is scheduled to expire on May 12, 2017, we expect that the total cost of the tender offer (including commissions and certain ancillary expenses) will amount to approximately ￦1,321 billion, which we intend to fund through existing cash, borrowings and the issuance of debt securities. In the event that not all such common shares are tendered in the tender offer, we plan to engage in a comprehensive stock swap to exchange the remaining common shares of KB Insurance for shares of our common stock (in the form of either newly issued shares or treasury shares), at a swap ratio of 0.57287 shares of our common stock for each common share of KB Insurance. Similar to the planned comprehensive stock swap relating to common shares of KB Capital, the comprehensive stock swap relating to common shares of KB Insurance, which may be subject to approval at a shareholders’ meeting of KB Insurance and is scheduled to be completed in July 2017, may result in dilution of the interests of existing holders of our common stock, depending on whether new shares of our common stock are required to be issued in the transaction. We expect that, following the tender offer and the comprehensive stock swap, KB Insurance will become our wholly owned subsidiary and will be delisted from the Korea Exchange. The completion of the tender offer and the comprehensive stock swap is subject to a number of conditions and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee that they will be completed as planned.

In addition, in May 2016, we acquired 22.56% of the outstanding shares of Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd., a publicly listed Korean securities firm, from Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. and other shareholders for ￦1,242 billion, and further increased our shareholding in Hyundai Securities to 29.62% in June 2016 by acquiring treasury shares of Hyundai Securities for ￦107 billion. In October 2016, we increased our shareholding in Hyundai Securities to 100% by effecting a comprehensive stock swap of the outstanding shares of Hyundai Securities for 31,759,844 newly issued shares of common stock of our company, as a result of which Hyundai Securities became a consolidated subsidiary. In connection with such comprehensive stock swap, we recognized gains on bargain purchase of ￦629 billion, representing the excess of the total identifiable net assets of Hyundai Securities over the total consideration transferred (consisting of the sum of the fair value of our holdings of Hyundai Securities shares at the time of the comprehensive stock swap and the value of our common shares issued in the comprehensive stock swap), which was recorded as part of ournon-operating income for 2016. See Note 44.1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. Following such transaction, we merged an existing subsidiary, KB Investment & Securities, with and into Hyundai Securities in December 2016 and changed the name of the surviving entity to KB Securities Co., Ltd. As of December 31, 2016, KB Securities had total assets of ￦32,383 billion and total equity of ￦4,184 billion, and in 2016, its total revenues amounted to ￦2,444 billion and its loss for the year amounted to ￦93 billion, excluding the revenues and profit of Hyundai Securities for the period before it became our consolidated subsidiary.

Critical Accounting Policies

The notes to our consolidated financial statements contain a summary of our significant accounting policies, including a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements. Certain of these policies are critical to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. We discuss these critical accounting policies below.

Impairment of Loans and Allowances for Loan Losses

We evaluate our loan portfolio for impairment on an ongoing basis. We have established allowances for loan losses, which are available to absorb probable losses that have been incurred in our loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. If we believe that additions or changes to the allowances for loan losses are required, we record a provision for loan losses (as part of our provision for credit losses), which is treated as a charge against current income. Loan exposures that we deem to be uncollectible, including actual loan losses, net of recoveries of previouslywritten-off amounts, are charged directly against the allowances for loan losses.

Our accounting policies for losses arising from the impairment of loans and allowances for loan losses are described in Note 3.6 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. We base the level of our allowances for loan losses on an evaluation of the risk characteristics of our loan portfolio. The evaluation considers factors such as historical loss experience, the financial condition of our borrowers and current economic conditions.

Allowances represent our management’s best estimate of losses incurred in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Our management is required to exercise judgment in making assumptions and estimates when calculating loan allowances on both individually and collectively assessed loans.

The determination of the allowances required for loans which are deemed to be individually significant often requires the use of considerable management judgment concerning such matters as economic conditions, the financial performance of the counterparty and the value of any collateral held for which there may not be a readily accessible market. Once we have identified loans as impaired, we generally value them either based on

114

the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if a loan is collateral dependent. The actual amount of the future cash flows and their timing may differ from the estimates used by our management and consequently may cause actual losses to differ from the reported allowances.

The allowances for portfolios of smaller-balance homogenous loans, such as those to individuals and small business customers, and for those loans which are individually significant but for which no objective evidence of impairment exists, are determined on a collective basis. The collective allowances are calculated on a portfolio basis using statistical models which incorporate numerous estimates and judgments. We perform a regular review of the models and underlying data and assumptions.

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included total allowances for loan losses of ￦2,278 billion as of that date. Our total loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, amounted to ￦884 billion and we recorded a provision for loan losses (which forms a part of the provision for credit losses, together with provisions for unused loan commitments, acceptances and guarantees, financial guarantee contracts and other financial assets) of ￦579 billion in 2016.

We believe that the accounting estimates related to our impairment of loans and allowances for loan losses are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they are highly susceptible to change from period to period because they require us to make assumptions about future default rates and losses relating to our loan portfolio; and (2) any significant difference between our estimated loan losses (as reflected in our allowances for loan losses) and actual loan losses could require us to take an additional provision which, if significant, could have a material impact on our profit. Our assumptions about estimated losses require significant judgment because actual losses have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to do so, based on a variety of factors.

Valuation of Financial Instruments

Our accounting policy for determining the fair value of financial instruments is described in Notes 3.3 and 6 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price in an actively traded market. In the event that the market for a financial instrument is not active, a valuation technique is used. The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable market data and, as such, the reliability of the fair value measurement is high. However, certain financial instruments are valued on the basis of valuation techniques that feature one or more significant market inputs that are unobservable. Valuation techniques that rely to a greater extent on unobservable inputs require a higher level of management judgment to calculate a fair value than those based wholly on observable inputs.

Valuation techniques used to calculate fair values are discussed in Note 6.1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The main assumptions and estimates which our management considers when applying a model with valuation techniques are:

• The likelihood and expected timing of future cash flows on the instrument. These cash flows are usually governed by the terms of the instrument, although judgment may be required when the ability of the counterparty to service the instrument in accordance with the contractual terms is in doubt. Future cash flows may be sensitive to changes in market rates.

• Selecting an appropriate discount rate for the instrument. The determination of this rate is based on an assessment of what a market participant would regard as the appropriate spread of the rate for the instrument over the appropriate risk-free rate.

• Judgment to determine what model to use to calculate fair value in areas where the choice of valuation model is particularly subjective (for example, valuation of complex derivative products).

115

The financial instruments carried at fair value have been categorized under the three levels of the IFRS fair value hierarchy as follows:

• Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are intended to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

For financial instruments traded in theover-the-counter market, we measure the fair value of such instruments as the arithmetic mean of prices obtained from Korea Asset Pricing (an affiliate of Fitch Ratings), KIS Pricing (an affiliate of Moody’s Investors Service), NICE Pricing and Information and FN Pricing, all four of which are recognized as major qualified independent pricing services in Korea. There are extremely rare cases where we do not receive price quotes from all three of the pricing services described above. In such cases, we contact the pricing service which did not submit a price quote to discuss the reason why it cannot provide a price and, following such discussion, we use the arithmetic mean of only the prices obtained from the other pricing services so long as there is no reason to believe that the prices that have been submitted are inadequate. We generally do not adjust the prices we obtain from these independent pricing services, as the variance among such prices is insignificant in most cases (primarily because most of the financial instruments we hold consist of government bonds and highly-rated corporate bonds, there is a high volume of transactions in theover-the-counter market and actual transaction prices are monitored and referenced by the pricing services).

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included financial assets measured at fair value using a valuation technique of ￦44,877 billion, representing 68.82% of total financial assets measured at fair value, and financial liabilities measured at fair value using a valuation technique of ￦14,311 billion, representing 89.84% of total financial liabilities measured at fair value.As used herein, the fair value using a valuation technique means the fair value at Level 2 and Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

We believe that the accounting estimates related to the determination of the fair value of financial instruments are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they may be highly susceptible to change from period to period based on factors beyond our control; and (2) any significant difference between our estimate of the fair value of these financial instruments on any particular date and either their estimated fair value on a different date or the actual proceeds that we receive upon sale of these financial instruments could result in valuation losses or losses on disposal which may have a material impact on our profit. Our assumptions about the fair value of financial instruments we hold require significant judgment because actual valuations have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to do so, based on a variety of factors.

Deferred Income Tax Assets

Our accounting policy for the recognition of deferred income tax assets is described in Notes 3.22 and 16 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The recognition of deferred income tax assets relies on an assessment of the probability and sufficiency of future taxable profits, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and ongoing tax planning strategies.

We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to

116

the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized. This assessment requires significant management judgment and assumptions. In determining the amount of deferred income tax assets, we use historical tax capacity and profitability information and, if relevant, forecasted operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carry-forward periods, available tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations.

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included deferred income tax assets and liabilities of ￦134 billion and ￦103 billion, respectively, as of that date, after offsetting of ￦1,150 billion of deferred income tax liabilities and assets.

We believe that the estimates related to our recognition and measurement of deferred income tax assets are a “critical accounting policy” because: (1) they may be highly susceptible to change from period to period based on our assumptions regarding our future profitability; and (2) any significant difference between our estimates of future profits on any particular date and estimates of such future profits on a different date could result in an income tax expense or benefit which may have a material impact on our profit from period to period. Our assumptions about our future profitability require significant judgment and are inherently subjective.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Our accounting policy for the recognition of uncertain tax positions is described in Note 3.22 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

We recognize our uncertain tax positions in our financial statements based on the guidance in International Accounting Standards 12, or IAS 12,Income Taxes, which allows recognition of tax payments as current income tax assets to the extent it is probable that they will be recovered from the tax authorities.

We believe that the estimates related to our recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions are a “critical accounting policy” because they are measured upon the facts and circumstances that exist as of each reporting period and involve significant management judgment. Subsequent changes in judgment based upon new information may lead to changes in recognition, derecognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions.

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Interest income.Interest income decreased 3.4% from ￦10,376 billion in 2015 to ￦10,022 billion in 2016, primarily as a result of a 2.3% decrease in interest on loans and a 10.0% decrease in interest on debt securities in our financial investments portfolio. Average yields on our interest earning assets decreased 34 basis points from 3.67% in 2015 to 3.33% in 2016, which reflected a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2016 compared to 2015. The effect of this decrease was partially offset by a 6.7% increase in the average volume of our interest earnings assets from ￦282,315 billion in 2015 to ￦301,185 billion in 2016, principally due to growth in our loan portfolio.

The 2.3% decrease in interest on loans from ￦9,235 billion in 2015 to ￦9,021 billion in 2016 was primarily the result of:

• a 34 basis point decrease in the average yields on corporate loans from 3.42% in 2015 to 3.08% in 2016, which was partially offset by a 6.5% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦105,821 billion in 2015 to ￦112,657 billion in 2016;

• a 23 basis point decrease in the average yields on home equity loans from 3.12% in 2015 to 2.89% in 2016, which was partially offset by a 1.4% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦33,572 billion in 2015 to ￦34,048 billion in 2016;

• a 28 basis point decrease in the average yields on mortgage loans from 3.02% in 2015 to 2.74% in 2016, which was partially offset by an 8.1% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦51,467 billion in 2015 to ￦55,638 billion in 2016; and

• a 57 basis point decrease in the average yields on other consumer loans from 5.21% in 2015 to 4.64% in 2016, which was mostly offset by an 11.8% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦35,351 billion in 2015 to ￦39,506 billion in 2016.

The average yields on corporate loans, home equity loans, mortgage loans and other consumer loans decreased mainly as a result of the decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea applicable to such loans from 2015 to 2016. The increase in the average volume of corporate loans mainly reflected our increased marketing efforts as well as increased demand for such loans from corporate borrowers in Korea. The increase in the average volume of home equity loans and mortgage loans mainly reflected increased demand for such loans in Korea, following initiatives by the Korean government in 2015 to revive the housing market in Korea by loosening regulations on mortgage lending. The increase in the average volume of other consumer loans mainly reflected higher demand for such loans in Korea.

Overall, the average yields on our loans decreased by 33 basis points from 3.83% in 2015 to 3.50% in 2016, while the average volume of our loans increased 7.0% from ￦240,912 billion in 2015 to ￦257,687 billion in 2016.

Debt securities in our financial investments portfolio consist ofavailable-for-sale debt securities andheld-to-maturity debt securities, including debt securities issued by government-owned or -controlled enterprises or financial institutions and debt securities issued by Korean banks and other financial institutions. The 10.0% decrease in interest on debt securities in our financial investments portfolio from ￦989 billion in 2015 to ￦890 billion in 2016 was primarily the result of a 50 basis point decrease in average yields on such debt securities from 3.05% in 2015 to 2.55% in 2016, which was partially offset by a 7.5% increase in the average volume of such debt securities from ￦32,423 billion in 2015 to ￦34,868 billion in 2016. The decrease in

118

average yields on such debt securities was primarily due to a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea for debt securities from 2015 to 2016. The increase in the average volume of such debt securities primarily reflected an increase in our purchases of debt securities issued by government-owned or -controlled enterprises and financial institutions.

Interest expense.Interest expense decreased 13.3% from ￦4,173 billion in 2015 to ￦3,619 billion in 2016 primarily due to an 18.4% decrease in interest expense on deposits, which was offset in part by a 6.6% increase in interest expense on debts. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 33 basis points from 1.60% in 2015 to 1.27% in 2016, which was driven mainly by the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2016. The effect of this decrease was offset in part by an 8.9% increase in the average volume of interest bearing liabilities from ￦260,770 billion in 2015 to ￦283,868 billion in 2016, which mainly reflected an increase in the average volume of deposits.

The 18.4% decrease in interest expense on deposits from ￦3,035 billion in 2015 to ￦2,477 billion in 2016 was primarily due to a 47 basis point decrease in the average cost of time deposits from 2.16% in 2015 to 1.69% in 2016, which was offset in part by a 1.3% increase in the average volume of such deposits from ￦123,977 billion in 2015 to ￦125,612 billion in 2016. The decrease in the average cost of time deposits mainly reflected a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea from 2015 to 2016. The increase in the average volume of time deposits was principally due to an increase in time deposits for corporate customers. Overall, the average cost of our deposits decreased by 35 basis points from 1.44% in 2015 to 1.09% in 2016, while the average volume of our deposits increased 7.9% from ￦210,236 billion in 2015 to ￦226,857 billion in 2016.

The 6.6% increase in interest expense on debts from ￦271 billion in 2015 to ￦289 billion in 2016 was mainly due to a 16.0% increase in the average volume of debts from ￦19,649 billion in 2015 to ￦22,798 billion in 2016, which was partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the average cost of debts from 1.38% in 2015 to 1.27% in 2016. The increase in the average volume of debts was principally due to increased use of repurchase agreements to meet our funding needs. The decrease in the average cost of debts mainly reflected the general decrease in market interest rates in Korea in 2016.

Net interest margin.Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income to average interest earning assets. Our overall net interest margin decreased from 2.20% in 2015 to 2.13% in 2016, as a 3.2% increase in our net interest income from ￦6,203 billion in 2015 to ￦6,403 billion in 2016 was outpaced by a 6.7% increase in the average volume of our interest earnings assets from ￦282,315 billion in 2015 to ￦301,185 billion in 2016. The 6.7% growth in average interest earning assets was outpaced by an 8.9% increase in average interest bearing liabilities from ￦260,770 billion in 2015 to ￦283,868 billion in 2016, while the decrease in interest income was outpaced by a decrease in interest expense, resulting in an increase in net interest income. However, our net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average yield on our interest earning assets and the average cost of our interest bearing liabilities, declined slightly from 2.07% in 2015 to 2.06% in 2016. The decline in our net interest spread reflected a larger decrease in the average yield of our interest earning assets, relative to the decrease in the average cost of our interest bearing liabilities, primarily due to the earlier adjustment of interest rates on interest earning assets compared to interest rates on interest bearing liabilities in the context of the lower interest rate environment in 2016.

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Interest income.Interest income decreased 10.8% from ￦11,635 billion in 2014 to ￦10,376 billion in 2015, primarily as a result of a 10.6% decrease in interest on loans. Average yields on our interest earning assets decreased 67 basis points from 4.34% in 2014 to 3.67% in 2015, which reflected a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea in 2015 compared to 2014. The effect of this decrease was partially offset by a 5.2% increase in the average volume of our interest earnings assets from ￦268,330 billion in 2014 to ￦282,315 billion in 2015, principally due to growth in our loan portfolio.

119

The 10.6% decrease in interest on loans from ￦10,325 billion in 2014 to ￦9,235 billion in 2015 was primarily the result of:

• a 65 basis point decrease in the average yields on corporate loans from 4.07% in 2014 to 3.42% in 2015, which was partially offset by a 3.9% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦101,875 billion in 2014 to ￦105,821 billion in 2015;

• a 61 basis point decrease in the average yields on mortgage loans from 3.63% in 2014 to 3.02% in 2015, which was partially offset by a 6.9% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦48,160 billion in 2014 to ￦51,467 billion in 2015;

• a 91 basis point decrease in the average yields on other consumer loans from 6.12% in 2014 to 5.21% in 2015, which was partially offset by a 7.2% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦32,981 billion in 2014 to ￦35,351 billion in 2015; and

• a 68 basis point decrease in the average yields on home equity loans from 3.80% in 2014 to 3.12% in 2015, which was partially offset by a 4.8% increase in the average volume of such loans from ￦32,030 billion in 2014 to ￦33,572 billion in 2015.

The average yields on corporate loans, mortgage loans, other consumer loans and home equity loans decreased mainly as a result of the decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea applicable to such loans from 2014 to 2015. The increase in the average volume of corporate loans mainly reflected our increased marketing efforts as well as increased demand for such loans in Korea. The increase in the average volume of mortgage loans was primarily due to increased demand for such loans in Korea, following initiatives by the Korean government to revive the housing market in Korea by loosening regulations on mortgage lending.The increase in the average volume of other consumer loans mainly reflected higher demand for such loans in Korea. The increase in the average volume of home equity loans was principally due to increased demand for such loans in Korea, following the loosening of the maximumloan-to-value ratios, to which our home equity loans are subject, by the Korean government.

Overall, the average yields on our loans decreased by 68 basis points from 4.51% in 2014 to 3.83% in 2015, while the average volume of our loans increased 5.2% from ￦228,989 billion in 2014 to ￦240,912 billion in 2015.

Interest on debt securities in our financial investments portfolio decreased 11.7% from ￦1,120 billion in 2014 to ￦989 billion in 2015, primarily as a result of a 50 basis point decrease in average yields on such debt securities from 3.55% in 2014 to 3.05% in 2015, which was partially offset by a 2.8% increase in the average volume of such debt securities from ￦31,530 billion in 2014 to ￦32,423 billion in 2015. The decrease in average yields on such debt securities was primarily due to a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea for debt securities from 2014 to 2015. The increase in the average volume of such debt securities primarily reflected an increase in our purchases of debt securities issued by Korean banks and other financial institutions.

Interest expense.Interest expense decreased 20.0% from ￦5,219 billion in 2014 to ￦4,173 billion in 2015 primarily due to a 21.1% decrease in interest expense on deposits, which was enhanced by a 16.0% decrease in interest expense on debentures. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 52 basis points from 2.12% in 2014 to 1.60% in 2015, which was driven mainly by the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2015. The effect of this decrease was offset in part by a 5.7% increase in the average volume of interest bearing liabilities from ￦246,692 billion in 2014 to ￦260,770 billion in 2015, which mainly reflected an increase in the average volume of debentures.

The 21.1% decrease in interest expense on deposits from ￦3,845 billion in 2014 to ￦3,035 billion in 2015 was primarily due to a 54 basis point decrease in the average cost of time deposits from 2.70% in 2014 to 2.16% in 2015, which was enhanced by a 4.8% decrease in the average volume of such deposits from ￦130,258 billion in 2014 to ￦123,977 billion in 2015. The decrease in the average cost of time deposits mainly reflected a

120

decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea from 2014 to 2015. The decrease in the average volume of time deposits was principally due to a decrease in time deposits for corporate customers. Overall, the average cost of our deposits decreased by 49 basis points from 1.93% in 2014 to 1.44% in 2015, while the average volume of our deposits increased 5.4% from ￦199,559 billion in 2014 to ￦210,236 billion in 2015.

The 16.0% decrease in interest expense on debentures from ￦1,032 billion in 2014 to ￦867 billion in 2015 was mainly due to an 87 basis point decrease in the average cost of debentures from 3.68% in 2014 to 2.81% in 2015, which was offset in part by a 10.1% increase in the average volume of debentures from ￦28,048 billion in 2014 to ￦30,885 billion in 2015. The decrease in the average cost of debentures mainly reflected the general decrease in market interest rates in Korea, including for long-term debentures, in 2015. The increase in the average volume of debentures was principally due to increased use of long-term debentures to meet our funding needs.

Net interest margin.Our overall net interest margin decreased from 2.39% in 2014 to 2.20% in 2015, as a 3.3% decrease in our net interest income from ￦6,416 billion in 2014 to ￦6,203 billion in 2015 was enhanced by a 5.2% increase in the average volume of our interest earning assets from ￦268,330 billion in 2014 to ￦282,315 billion in 2015. The growth in average interest earning assets was outpaced by a 5.7% increase in average interest bearing liabilities from ￦246,692 billion in 2014 to ￦260,770 billion in 2015, while the decrease in interest income outpaced a decrease in interest expense, resulting in a decrease in net interest income. Our net interest spread declined from 2.22% in 2014 to 2.07% in 2015. The decline in our net interest spread reflected a larger decrease in the average yield of our interest earning assets, relative to the decrease in the average cost of our interest bearing liabilities, primarily due to the earlier adjustment of interest rates on interest earning assets compared to interest rates on interest bearing liabilities in the context of the lower interest rate environment, as well as the continuing rate-based competition in the Korean banking industry for the marketing of both loan and deposit products.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses includes provision for loan losses, provision for unused loan commitments, provision for acceptances and guarantees, provision for financial guarantee contracts and provision for other financial assets, in each case net of reversal of provisions.For a discussion of our loan loss provisioning policy, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Loan Portfolio—Provisioning Policy.”

In accordance with the guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Service, if our provision for loan losses is deemed insufficient for regulatory purposes, we compensate for the difference by recording a regulatory reserve for credit losses, which is segregated within retained earnings. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Loan Portfolio—Regulatory Reserve for Credit Losses” and Note 26 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our provision for credit losses decreased 48.0% from ￦1,037 billion in 2015 to ￦539 billion in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses in respect of our corporate loans. Such decrease resulted mainly from an improvement in the overall asset quality of our corporate loan portfolio, including a decrease in impaired corporate loans.

Our write-offs, net of recoveries, decreased 4.5% from ￦926 billion in 2015 to ￦884 billion in 2016, primarily due to decreases in write-offs of retail loans and an increase in recoveries fromwritten-off corporate loans.

Our reversal of provision for acceptances and guarantees and unused loan commitments decreased 44.3% from ￦70 billion in 2015 to ￦39 billion in 2016, due mainly to a decrease in reversal of provision for acceptances and guarantees issued on behalf of shipbuilding companies.

121

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our provision for credit losses decreased 15.6% from ￦1,228 billion in 2014 to ￦1,037 billion in 2015, primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses in respect of our retail loans. Such decrease resulted mainly from an improvement in the overall asset quality of our retail loan portfolio.

Our write-offs, net of recoveries, decreased 40.6% from ￦1,560 billion in 2014 to ￦926 billion in 2015, primarily due to decreases in write-offs of corporate loans and retail loans.

Our reversal of provision for acceptances and guarantees and unused loan commitments increased more than threefold from ￦21 billion in 2014 to ￦70 billion in 2015, due mainly to an increase in reversal of provision for acceptances and guarantees issued on behalf of shipbuilding companies.

Allowances for Loan Losses

We establish allowances for loan losses with respect to loans to absorb such losses. We assess individually significant loans on acase-by-case basis and other loans on a collective basis. In addition, if we determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for a loan, we include such loan in a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics and assess them collectively for impairment regardless of whether such loan is significant. For further information on allowances for loan losses, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Impairment of Loans and Allowances for Loan Losses” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Loan Portfolio—Allocation and Analysis of Allowances for Loan Losses.”

Corporate Loans.The following table shows, for the periods indicated, certain information regarding our impaired corporate loans:

	As of December 31,
	2014			2015			2016
Impaired corporate loans as a percentage of total corporate loans		2.0	%		1.9	%		1.4	%
Allowances for loan losses for corporate loans as a percentage of total corporate loans		1.5			1.5			1.2
Allowances for loan losses for corporate loans as a percentage of impaired corporate loans		72.7			80.4			83.4
Net charge-offs of corporate loans as a percentage of total corporate loans		0.8			0.5			0.4

During 2016, both impaired corporate loans and allowances for loan losses for corporate loans, as a percentage of total corporate loans, decreased primarily due to a decrease in our impaired corporate loans, which mainly reflected our efforts to improve the asset quality of our corporate loan portfolio, as well as an increase in our total corporate loans. Such decrease in our impaired corporate loans outpaced a decrease in allowances for loan losses for corporate loans, which caused the level of allowances for loan losses for corporate loans as a percentage of impaired corporate loans to increase during 2016.

During 2015, impaired corporate loans as a percentage of total corporate loans decreased slightly as the rate of increase in the amount of our total corporate loans outpaced the rate of increase in our impaired corporate loans. Allowances for loan losses for corporate loans as a percentage of total corporate loans remained constant, while allowances for loan losses for corporate loans as a percentage of impaired corporate loans increased during 2015, reflecting an increase in allowances for loan losses in tandem with the growth in our corporate loan portfolio, which outpaced the increase in our impaired corporate loans.

During 2014, impaired corporate loans and allowances for loan losses for corporate loans, each as a percentage of total corporate loans, decreased primarily due to a decrease in our impaired corporate loans, which

122

mainly reflected our efforts to improve the asset quality of our corporate loan portfolio. Such decrease in our impaired corporate loans outpaced a decrease in allowances for loan losses for corporate loans, which caused the level of allowances for loan losses for corporate loans as a percentage of impaired corporate loans to increase during 2014.

Retail Loans.The following table shows, for the periods indicated, certain information regarding our impaired retail loans:

	As of December 31,
	2014			2015			2016
Impaired retail loans as a percentage of total retail loans		0.6	%		0.5	%		0.4	%
Allowances for loan losses for retail loans as a percentage of total retail loans		0.5			0.4			0.4
Allowances for loan losses for retail loans as a percentage of impaired retail loans		70.1			80.3			83.6
Net charge-offs of retail loans as a percentage of total retail loans		0.4			0.1			0.1

During 2016, impaired retail loans as a percentage of total retail loans decreased slightly as the effect of a decrease in our impaired retail loans, which reflected an improvement in the asset quality of our retail loan portfolio, was enhanced by an increase in the amount of our total retail loans. Allowances for loan losses for retail loans as a percentage of total retail loans remained constant, while allowances for loan losses for retail loans as a percentage of impaired retail loans increased during 2016, as the decrease in our impaired retail loans outpaced a decrease in allowances for loan losses for retail loans.

During 2015, both impaired retail loans and allowances for loan losses for retail loans, as a percentage of total retail loans, decreased slightly as the effect of decreases in our impaired retail loans and such allowances, which reflected an improvement in the asset quality of our retail loan portfolio, was enhanced by an increase in the amount of our total retail loans. Such decrease in our impaired retail loans outpaced the decrease in allowances for loan losses for retail loans, which caused the level of allowances for loan losses for retail loans as a percentage of impaired retail loans to increase during 2015.

During 2014, impaired retail loans as a percentage of total retail loans decreased as the effect of a decrease in our impaired retail loans, which reflected an improvement in the asset quality of our retail loan portfolio, was enhanced by an increase in the amount of our total retail loans. Such decrease in our impaired retail loans outpaced a decrease in allowances for loan losses for retail loans, which caused the level of allowances for loan losses for retail loans as a percentage of impaired retail loans to increase during 2014.

Credit Card Balances.The following table shows, for the periods indicated, certain information regarding our impaired credit card balances:

	As of December 31,
	2014			2015			2016
Impaired credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances		1.7	%		2.3	%		2.2	%
Allowances for loan losses for credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances		3.4			3.3			3.1
Allowances for loan losses for credit card balances as a percentage of impaired credit card balances		195.3			143.2			137.1
Net charge-offs as a percentage of total credit card balances		2.5			2.0			1.6

During 2016, both impaired credit card balances and allowances for loan losses for credit card balances, as a percentage of total credit card balances, decreased as the rate of increase in our impaired credit card balances and

123

such allowances was outpaced by the rate of increase in the amount of our total credit card balances. Such increase in our impaired credit card balances outpaced the increase in allowances for loan losses for credit card balances, which caused the level of allowances for loan losses for credit card balances as a percentage of impaired credit card balances to decrease during 2016.

During 2015, impaired credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances increased as the rate of increase in our impaired credit card balances outpaced the rate of increase in the amount of our total credit card balances. Allowances for loan losses for credit card balances as a percentage of both total credit card balances and impaired credit card balances decreased during 2015, primarily as a result of an improvement in the asset quality of our existing impaired credit card balances. 

During 2014, impaired credit card balances as a percentage of total credit card balances decreased slightly as the rate of decrease in our impaired credit card balances outpaced the rate of decrease in the amount of our total credit card balances. Allowances for loan losses for credit card balances as a percentage of both total credit card balances and impaired credit card balances similarly decreased slightly during 2014, primarily as a result of an improvement in the asset quality of our existing impaired credit card balances.

Net Fee and Commission Income

The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the components of our net fee and commission income:

	Year Ended December 31,									Percentage Change
	2014			2015			2016			2015/2014			2016/2015
	(in billions of Won)									(%)
Fee and commission income	￦	2,666		￦	2,971		￦	3,151			11.4	%		6.1	%
Fee and commission expense		(1,283	)		(1,436	)		(1,566	)		11.9			9.1
Net fee and commission income	￦	1,383		￦	1,535		￦	1,585			11.0			3.3

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our net fee and commission income increased 3.3% from ￦1,535 billion in 2015 to ￦1,585 billion in 2016, primarily due to a 6.1% increase in fee and commission income from ￦2,971 billion in 2015 to ￦3,151 billion in 2016, which was offset in part by a 9.1% increase in fee and commission expense from ￦1,436 billion in 2015 to ￦1,566 billion in 2016.

The 6.1% increase in fee and commission income was mainly the result of increases in securities brokerage fees, lease fees and credit card related fees and commissions received. Securities brokerage fees increased 76.1% from ￦88 billion in 2015 to ￦155 billion in 2016 primarily due to the growth of our securities brokerage business as a result of our acquisition of Hyundai Securities in October 2016. Lease fees increased 100.0% from ￦38 billion in 2015 to ￦76 billion in 2016, which mainly reflected an increase in fees received on automobile leases and other lease-related income. Credit card related fees and commissions received increased 2.9% from ￦1,223 billion in 2015 to ￦1,259 billion in 2016, primarily as a result of increased use of credit cards by our customers.

The 9.1% increase in fee and commission expense was primarily due to an 10.6% increase in credit card related fees and commissions paid from ￦1,094 billion in 2015 to ￦1,210 billion in 2016. The increase in credit card related fees and commissions paid mainly reflected an increase in credit card marketing expenses.

124

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our net fee and commission income increased 11.0% from ￦1,383 billion in 2014 to ￦1,535 billion in 2015, primarily due to an 11.4% increase in fee and commission income from ￦2,666 billion in 2014 to ￦2,971 billion in 2015, which was offset in part by an 11.9% increase in fee and commission expense from ￦1,283 billion in 2014 to ￦1,436 billion in 2015.

The 11.4% increase in fee and commission income was mainly the result of increases in credit card related fees and commissions received, debit card related fees and commissions and trust and other fiduciary fees. Credit card related fees and commissions received increased 10.5% from ￦1,107 billion in 2014 to ￦1,223 billion in 2015 primarily due to increased use of credit cards by our customers.Debit card related fees and commissions increased 16.8% from ￦292 billion in 2014 to ￦341 billion in 2015, which mainly reflected the impact of the government initiative to encourage the use of debit cards. Trust and other fiduciary fees increased 17.3% from ￦231 billion in 2014 to ￦270 billion in 2015, primarily due to an increase in sales of equity-linked securities.

The 11.9% increase in fee and commission expense was primarily due to an 11.6% increase in credit card related fees and commissions paid from ￦980 billion in 2014 to ￦1,094 billion in 2015. The increase in credit card related fees and commissions paid mainly reflected an increase in fees paid to value-added network providers, attributable primarily to increased use of credit cards by our customers.

For further information regarding our net fee and commission income, see Note 28 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Net Gain (Loss) on Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

⁽¹⁾ “N/M” means not meaningful.

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our net gain (loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss changed from a net gain of ￦360 billion in 2015 to a net loss of ￦9 billion in 2016. Such change was primarily attributable to a change in net gain (loss) on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss and a 39.6% decrease in net gain on financial assetsheld-for-trading, the effect of which was offset in part by changes in net gain (loss) on both derivatives and financial liabilitiesheld-for-trading.

• Our net gain (loss) on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss changed from a net gain of ￦104 billion in 2015 to a net loss of ￦381 billion in 2016, mainly as a result of a change in net gain (loss) on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss from a net gain of ￦100 billion in 2015 to a net loss of ￦491 billion in 2016.

125

• Our net gain on financial assetsheld-for-trading decreased 39.6% from ￦328 billion in 2015 to ￦198 billion in 2016, primarily due to a 38.3% decrease in net gain on debt securitiesheld-for-trading from ￦311 billion in 2015 to ￦192 billion in 2016.

• Our net gain (loss) on derivativesheld-for-trading changed from a net loss of ￦11 in 2015 to a net gain of ￦173 billion in 2016, principally due to a change in net gain (loss) on stock or stock index derivativesheld-for-trading from a net loss of ￦89 billion in 2015 to a net gain of ￦240 billion in 2016.

• Our net gain (loss) on financial liabilitiesheld-for-trading changed from a net loss of ￦61 billion in 2015 to a net gain of ￦1 billion in 2016, which mainly reflected a 24.4% decrease in losses on financial liabilitiesheld-for-trading from ￦131 billion in 2015 to ￦99 billion in 2016.

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our net gain on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss decreased 18.0% from ￦439 billion in 2014 to ￦360 billion in 2015. This decrease was primarily attributable to a change in net gain (loss) on derivativesheld-for-trading and a 20.8% decrease in net gain on financial assetsheld-for-trading, the effect of which was offset in part by a change in net gain (loss) on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss.

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our general and administrative expenses increased 15.6% from ￦4,524 billion in 2015 to ￦5,229 billion in 2016, primarily as a result of a 20.2% increase in employee compensation and benefits from ￦3,126 billion in 2015 to ￦3,756 billion in 2016. The increase in employee compensation and benefits was principally due to a 130.4% increase in termination benefits from ￦392 billion in 2015 to ￦903 billion in 2016, which resulted mainly from a significant increase in the number of employees participating in the voluntary early retirement program implemented by Kookmin Bank.

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our general and administrative expenses increased 12.8% from ￦4,010 billion in 2014 to ￦4,524 billion in 2015, primarily as a result of a 20.6% increase in employee compensation and benefits from ￦2,593 billion in 2014 to ￦3,126 billion in 2015. The increase in employee compensation and benefits was principally due to a significant increase in termination benefits from ￦1 billion in 2014 to ￦392 billion in 2015, which resulted mainly from a voluntary early retirement program implemented by Kookmin Bank in 2015.

Net Other Operating Expenses

The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the components of our net other operating expenses:

	Year Ended December 31,									Percentage Change
	2014			2015			2016			2015/2014			2016/2015

Net other operating expenses	￦	(1,041	)	￦	(716	)	￦	(534	)		(31.2	)		(25.4	)

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our net other operating expenses decreased 25.4% from ￦716 billion in 2015 to ￦534 billion in 2016 as a 17.9% increase in other operating income from ￦4,598 billion in 2015 to ￦5,419 billion in 2016 outpaced a 12.0% increase in other operating expenses from ￦5,314 billion in 2015 to ￦5,953 billion in 2016.

Other operating income includes principally gain on foreign exchange transactions, income related to insurance, gain on sale ofavailable-for-sale financial assets and other income. The 17.9% increase in other operating income was attributable mainly to a 44.7% increase in gain on foreign exchange transactions from ￦2,465 billion in 2015 to ￦3,568 billion in 2016. The increase in gain on foreign exchange transactions, which was mainly the result of increased exchange rate volatility, was offset in part by an increase in loss on foreign exchange transactions, which is recorded as part of other operating expenses. On a net basis, our net gain on foreign exchange transactions increased 356.9% from ￦58 billion in 2015 to ￦265 billion in 2016.

Other operating expenses include principally loss on foreign exchange transactions, expenses related to insurance, impairment onavailable-for-sale financial assets, loss on sale ofavailable-for-sale financial assets and other expenses. The 12.0% increase in other operating expenses was primarily the result of a 37.2% increase in loss on foreign exchange transactions from ￦2,407 billion in 2015 to ￦3,303 billion in 2016. The increase in loss on foreign exchange transactions, which was mainly due to an increase in the volume of our foreign currency transactions, was more than offset by an increase gain on foreign exchange transactions, which is recorded as part of other operating income as discussed above.

127

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our net other operating expenses decreased 31.2% from ￦1,041 billion in 2014 to ￦716 billion in 2015 as a 48.3% increase in other operating income from ￦3,100 billion in 2014 to ￦4,598 billion in 2015 outpaced a 28.3% increase in other operating expenses from ￦4,141 billion in 2014 to ￦5,314 billion in 2015.

The 48.3% increase in other operating income was attributable mainly to a 65.3% increase in gain on foreign exchange transactions from ￦1,491 billion in 2014 to ￦2,465 billion in 2015 and a more than fourfold increase in gain on sale ofavailable-for-sale financial assets from ￦92 billion in 2014 to ￦404 billion in 2015. The increase in gain on foreign exchange transactions, which was mainly the result of increased exchange rate volatility, was offset in part by an increase in loss on foreign exchange transactions, which is recorded as part of other operating expenses. On a net basis, our net gain on foreign exchange transactions increased 70.6% from ￦34 billion in 2014 to ￦58 billion in 2015. The increase in gain on sale ofavailable-for-sale financial assets was principally due to gains realized in 2015 from sales of shares of Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation, SK Holdings Co., Ltd. and Kumho Industrial Co., Ltd., as well as sales of debt securities, held by us.

The 28.3% increase in other operating expenses was primarily the result of a 65.2% increase in loss on foreign exchange transactions from ￦1,457 billion in 2014 to ￦2,407 billion in 2015. The increase in loss on foreign exchange transactions, which was mainly due to an increase in the volume of our foreign currency transactions, was more than offset by an increase gain on foreign exchange transactions, which is recorded as part of other operating income as discussed above.

For further information regarding our net other operating expenses, see Note 30 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

NetNon-operating Profit (Loss)

The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the components of our netnon-operating profit (loss):

	Year Ended December 31,							Percentage Change
	2014			2015		2016		2015/2014			2016/2015

Netnon-operating profit (loss)	￦	(58	)	￦	344	￦	952		N/M	(1)		176.7

⁽²⁾ “N/M” means not meaningful.

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our netnon-operating profit increased 176.7% from ￦344 billion in 2015 to ￦952 billion in 2016, principally as a result of a 379.3% increase in netnon-operating income from ￦140 billion in 2015 to ￦671 billion in 2016 and, to a lesser extent, a 38.4% increase in share of profit of associates from ￦203 billion in 2015 to ￦281 billion in 2016.

The 379.3% increase in netnon-operating profit was attributable mainly to a 156.4% increase in othernon-operating income from ￦291 billion in 2015 to ￦746 billion in 2016. Such increase mainly reflected gains on bargain purchase of ￦629 billion recognized in connection with a comprehensive stock swap we effected in October 2016 to increase our shareholding in Hyundai Securities to 100%. See “—Overview—Acquisitions.”

The 38.4% increase in share of profit of associates was primarily due to ￦113 billion of gains on equity method accounting recognized with respect to our minority interest in Hyundai Securities in 2016 for the period prior to it becoming a consolidated subsidiary in October 2016.

128

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our netnon-operating profit (loss) changed from a net loss of ￦58 billion in 2014 to a net profit of ￦344 billion in 2015, principally as a result of a change in net othernon-operating income (expense) from a net expense of ￦71 billion in 2014 to net income of ￦140 billion in 2015, as well as a substantial increase in share of profit of associates from ￦13 billion in 2014 to ￦203 billion in 2015.

The change in net othernon-operating income (expense) was attributable mainly to a 298.6% increase in othernon-operating income from ￦73 billion in 2014 to ￦291 billion in 2015. Such increase was primarily due to a 329.0% increase in miscellaneous othernon-operating income from ￦62 billion in 2014 to ￦266 billion in 2015, mainly reflecting gains on bargain purchase of ￦177 billion recognized in connection with the acquisition of treasury shares of KB Insurance in November 2015.

The increase in share of profit of associates was primarily due to ￦195 billion of gains on equity method accounting recognized with respect to our minority interest in KB Insurance in 2015 for the period subsequent to our acquisition of such minority interest in June 2015. See “—Overview—Acquisitions.”

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Our income tax expense is calculated by adding or subtracting changes in deferred income tax liabilities and assets to income tax amounts payable for the period. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits, while deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are those between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets, including unused tax losses and credits, are recognized only to the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred income tax assets can be utilized.See “—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Income Tax Assets.”

Effective January 1, 2015, pursuant to an amendment to the Corporate Income Tax Law, large corporations with net equity in excess of ￦50 billion, including us, have become subject to a 10% additional levy on corporate income if a certain portion of taxable income is not used for investments, wage increases or dividend payments.

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Income tax expense remained relatively constant at ￦439 billion in 2016 compared to ￦437 billion in 2015, despite a 21.4% increase in ourpre-tax income from 2015 to 2016, as a 77.5% increase in current tax expense from ￦342 billion in 2015 to ￦607 billion in 2016 was largely offset by the effect of changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities from an expense of ￦93 billion in 2015 to a benefit of ￦201 billion in 2016.The statutory tax rate was 24.2% in 2015 and 2016. Our effective tax rate was 16.7% in 2016 compared to 20.2% in 2015.

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Income tax expense decreased 10.1% from ￦486 billion in 2014 to ￦437 billion in 2015, although ourpre-tax income increased in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily due to a 33.3% decrease in current tax expense from ￦513 billion in 2014 to ￦342 billion in 2015, attributable mainly to an increase innon-taxable income.Such decrease in current tax expense was offset in part by a change in income tax expense (benefit) recognized directly in equity relating to the value ofavailable-for-sale financial assets from an income tax benefit of ￦79 billion in 2014 to an income tax expense of ￦5 billion in 2015. The statutory tax rate was 24.2% in 2014 and 2015. Our effective tax rate was 20.2% in 2015 compared to 25.6% in 2014.

Results by Principal Business Segment

We compile and analyze financial information for our business segments based upon segment information used by our management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance evaluation. We are organized into six major business segments: retail banking operations, corporate banking operations, other banking operations, credit card operations, investment and securities operations and life insurance operations.

The following table shows, for the periods indicated, our results of operations by segment:

Our other banking operations, which include treasury activities, provide funding to our retail banking operations and corporate banking operations and receive funds procured through the financing activities of such segments, such as deposit-taking activities. When our retail banking operations or corporate banking operations engage in an investing activity, such as lending, the relevant amount is recognized as an inter-segment borrowing from the other banking operations. When our retail banking operations or corporate banking operations engage in a financing activity, such as deposit-taking, the relevant amount is recognized as an inter-segment lending to the other banking operations (or as a reduction in inter-segment borrowings from the other banking operations). Generally, for our retail banking operations, the amounts procured from financing activities are greater than the amounts used in investing activities, whereas for our corporate banking operations, the amounts used in investing activities are greater than the amounts procured from financing activities. The cost of borrowing from the other banking operations is calculated by multiplying the average balance of the amounts used in investing activities by the applicable internal funding rate on such inter-segment borrowings, whereas the income from lending to the other banking operations is calculated by multiplying the average balance of the amounts procured from financing activities by the applicable internal funding rate on such inter-segment lendings. The applicable internal funding rates on inter-segment borrowings tend to be generally higher than the applicable internal funding rates on inter-segment lendings, primarily due to the difference in the maturity structure of interest rates on the amounts used in investing activities and the amounts procured from financing activities. The cost of borrowing from the other banking operations is offset by the income from lending to the other banking

130

operations, and the difference is recorded as expenses related to inter-segment borrowings, within net other operating expenses, for our retail banking operations and corporate banking operations, while a corresponding amount is recorded as income from inter-segment lending, within net other operating income, for our other banking operations.

Retail Banking Operations

This segment consists of retail banking services provided by Kookmin Bank. The following table shows, for the periods indicated, our income statement data for this segment:

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our profit before income tax for this segment increased 376.7% from ￦30 billion in 2015 to ￦143 billion in 2016.

Interest income from our retail banking operations decreased 3.1% from ￦3,858 billion in 2015 to ￦3,740 billion in 2016. This decrease was principally due to decreases in the average yields on mortgage, home equity and other consumer loans, mainly reflecting a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea from 2015 to 2016, which were offset in part by increases in the average volume of such loans from 2015 to 2016.

Our largest and most important funding source is deposits from retail customers, which represent more than half of our total deposits. Interest expense for this segment decreased 21.0% from ￦1,756 billion in 2015 to ￦1,387 billion in 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of time deposits held by retail customers, mainly reflecting a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea from 2015 to 2016.

Net fee and commission income attributable to this segment decreased 11.6% from ￦570 billion in 2015 to ￦504 billion in 2016, mainly due to a decrease in bancassurance fees and trust fees received.

Net other operating expense attributable to this segment increased 9.5% from ￦556 billion in 2015 to ￦609 billion in 2016, mainly as a result of a decrease in net gains on sales of loans.

General and administrative expenses attributable to this segment increased 4.8% from ￦2,006 billion in 2015 to ￦2,102 billion in 2016, primarily due to an increase in termination benefits attributable mainly to an increase in the number of employees participating in the voluntary early retirement program implemented by Kookmin Bank.

131

Provision for credit losses decreased 96.3% from ￦80 billion in 2015 to ￦3 billion in 2016, mainly due to an improvement in the asset quality of retail loans, reflecting a decrease in delinquency rates.

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our profit before income tax for this segment decreased 81.7% from ￦164 billion in 2014 to ￦30 billion in 2015.

Interest income from our retail banking operations decreased 13.0% from ￦4,433 billion in 2014 to ￦3,858 billion in 2015. This decrease was principally due to decreases in the average yields on mortgage, home equity and other consumer loans, mainly reflecting a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea from 2014 to 2015, which were offset in part by increases in the average volume of such loans from 2014 to 2015.

Interest expense for this segment decreased 25.4% from ￦2,353 billion in 2014 to ￦1,756 billion in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of time deposits held by retail customers, mainly reflecting a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea from 2014 to 2015, which was offset in part by an increase in the average volume of such deposits.

Net fee and commission income attributable to this segment increased 8.6% from ￦525 billion in 2014 to ￦570 billion in 2015, mainly due to increases in fee and commission income from sales of beneficiary certificates as agents and guarantee fees received in Won.

Net loss from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss attributable to this segment decreased from ￦20 billion in 2014 to nil in 2015, which primarily reflected the recognition of valuation loss on derivatives in 2014 from the liquidation of certain mortgage loan-related special purpose vehicles, which was not repeated in 2015.

Net other operating expense attributable to this segment increased 32.1% from ￦421 billion in 2014 to ￦556 billion in 2015, mainly as a result of an increase in expenses related to inter-segment borrowings. While the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2015 led to decreases in the internal funding rates applicable to both inter-segment borrowings and lendings from 2014 to 2015, the resulting decrease in income from inter-segment lending for this segment was greater than the decrease in costs of inter-segment borrowing for this segment, for which the amounts procured from financing activities (and thereby recognized as inter-segment lending) are greater than the amounts generated from investing activities (and thereby recognized as inter-segment borrowing), leading to an increase in expenses related to inter-segment borrowings.

General and administrative expenses attributable to this segment increased 18.3% from ￦1,696 billion in 2014 to ￦2,006 billion in 2015, primarily due to an increase in termination benefits attributable mainly to a voluntary early retirement program implemented by Kookmin Bank in 2015.

Provision for credit losses decreased 73.7% from ￦304 billion in 2014 to ￦80 billion in 2015, mainly due to an improvement in the asset quality of retail loans, reflecting a decrease in delinquency rates.

Interest expense for this segment decreased 15.3% from ￦1,193 billion in 2015 to ￦1,011 billion in 2016. This decrease was principally due to a decrease in the average cost of time deposits held by corporate customers, which mainly reflected a decrease in the general level of interest rates in Korea from 2015 to 2016.

Net fee and commission income attributable to this segment decreased 0.9% from ￦233 billion in 2015 to ￦231 billion in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in foreign currency related fees received, which was mostly offset by a decrease in lending activity fees paid.

Net other operating expense attributable to this segment decreased 15.6% from ￦834 billion in 2015 to ￦704 billion in 2016, mainly as a result of a decrease in expenses related to inter-segment borrowings, which was offset in part by a decrease in net gains on sales of loans. While the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2016 led to decreases in the internal funding rates applicable to both inter-segment borrowings and lendings from 2015 to 2016, the resulting decrease in costs of inter-segment borrowing for this segment was greater than the decrease in income from inter-segment lending for this segment, for which the amounts generated from investing activities (and thereby recognized as inter-segment borrowing) are greater than the amounts procured from financing activities (and thereby recognized as inter-segment lending), leading to a decrease in expenses related to inter-segment borrowings.

133

Net fee and commission income attributable to this segment decreased 1.7% from ￦237 billion in 2014 to ￦233 billion in 2015, primarily due to an increase in miscellaneous commission expenses paid in Won, which was offset in part by an increase in trust related commission income.

Net other operating expense attributable to this segment decreased 7.9% from ￦906 billion in 2014 to ￦834 billion in 2015, mainly as a result of a decrease in expenses related to inter-segment borrowings.

Interest income from our other banking operations decreased 15.8% from ￦1,016 billion in 2015 to ￦855 billion in 2016. This decrease was attributable primarily to a decrease in the average yields on debt securities in Kookmin Bank’s financial investments portfolio, mainly reflecting the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2016, which was offset in part by an increase in the average volume of such debt securities.

Interest expense for this segment decreased 8.4% from ￦727 billion in 2015 to ￦666 billion in 2016.

Net fee and commission income attributable to this segment decreased 0.6% from ￦354 billion in 2015 to ￦352 billion in 2016, mainly due to an increase in loan-related fees paid, which was mostly offset by increases in brand licensing fees received from affiliates, asset securitization-related fees received and foreign currency related fees received.

Net gain from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss attributable to this segment decreased 31.0% from ￦287 billion in 2015 to ￦198 billion in 2016, principally as a result of decreases in net gains from financial assets and derivativesheld-for-trading.

135

Net other operating income attributable to this segment decreased 5.8% from ￦968 billion in 2015 to ￦912 billion in 2016, mainly as a result of decreases in net gain on sales ofavailable-for-sale financial assets and in income from inter-segment lendings (attributable primarily to a greater decrease in income from inter-segment lending to the corporate banking operations segment, compared to the decrease in costs of inter-segment borrowing from the retail banking operations segment, in the context of the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2016), which were offset in part by a decrease in impairment losses onavailable-for-sale financial assets and an increase in gains on foreign currency transactions.

General and administrative expenses attributable to this segment increased 26.8% from ￦960 billion in 2015 to ￦1,217 billion in 2016, primarily due to an increase in termination benefits attributable mainly to an increase in the number of employees participating in the voluntary early retirement program implemented by Kookmin Bank.

Reversal of provision for credit losses attributable to this segment decreased 50.9% from ￦55 billion in 2015 to ￦27 billion in 2016, principally due to an increase in provisions for guarantees.

Share of profit of associates attributable to this segment increased 125.0% from ￦8 billion in 2015 to ￦18 billion in 2016, principally as a result of a loss on equity method investment recognized in 2015 on Kookmin Bank’s investment in JSC Bank CenterCredit, which was not repeated in 2016.

Net othernon-operating revenue attributable to this segment decreased 73.4% from ￦192 billion in 2015 to ￦51 billion in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in income related to judgments in legal proceedings.

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our profit before income tax for this segment increased 72.4% from ￦692 billion in 2014 to ￦1,193 billion in 2015.

Interest income from our other banking operations decreased 19.4% from ￦1,261 billion in 2014 to ￦1,016 billion in 2015. This decrease was attributable primarily to a decrease in the average yields on debt securities in Kookmin Bank’s financial investments portfolio, mainly reflecting the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2015, which was offset in part by an increase in the average volume of such debt securities.

Interest expense for this segment decreased 11.2% from ￦819 billion in 2014 to ￦727 billion in 2015. This decrease was principally due to a decrease in the average cost of debentures issued by Kookmin Bank, mainly reflecting the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2015, which was offset in part by an increase in the average volume of such debentures.

Net fee and commission income attributable to this segment increased 12.0% from ￦316 billion in 2014 to ￦354 billion in 2015, mainly due to an increase in fee and commission income from providing agency services to affiliates.

Net gain from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss attributable to this segment decreased 23.7% from ￦376 billion in 2014 to ￦287 billion in 2015, principally as a result of a decrease in net gain on financial instrumentsheld-for-trading.

Net other operating income attributable to this segment increased 73.5% from ￦558 billion in 2014 to ￦968 billion in 2015, mainly as a result of increases in net gain on sales ofavailable-for-sale financial assets and, to a lesser extent, in income from inter-segment lending, which was primarily due to a greater decrease in costs of inter-segment borrowing from the retail banking operations segment, compared to the decrease in income from inter-segment lending to the corporate banking operations segment, in the context of the lower interest rate environment in Korea in 2015.

136

General and administrative expenses attributable to this segment remained relatively constant at ￦960 billion in 2015 compared to ￦966 billion in 2014.

Provision (reversal of provision) for credit losses attributable to this segment changed from a provision of ￦17 billion in 2014 to a reversal of provision of ￦55 billion in 2015, principally due to a decrease in provision for receivables from derivative transactions.

Share of profit of associates attributable to this segment decreased 55.6% from ￦18 billion in 2014 to ￦8 billion in 2015, principally as a result of an increase in loss on equity method investments from Kookmin Bank’s investment in JSC Bank CenterCredit.

Net othernon-operating revenue (expense) attributable to this segment changed from an expense of ￦35 billion in 2014 to a revenue of ￦192 billion in 2015, primarily due to a decrease in othernon-operating expense, including a decrease in impairment losses on assets held for sale and a decrease in expense related to satisfaction of judgments in legal proceedings.

Comparison of 2016 to 2015

Our total liabilities increased 14.7% from ￦300,163 billion as of December 31, 2015 to ￦344,413 billion as of December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a 6.9% increase in deposits from ￦224,268 billion as of December 31, 2015 to ￦239,731 billion as of December 31, 2016. Our deposits increased mainly as a result of an increase in demand deposits.

Our total equity increased 8.2% from ￦28,902 billion as of December 31, 2015 to ￦31,261 billion as of December 31, 2016. This increase resulted principally from an increase in our retained earnings, which was attributable to the profit we generated in 2016.

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

Our total liabilities increased 6.9% from ￦280,843 billion as of December 31, 2014 to ￦300,163 billion as of December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a 6.0% increase in deposits from ￦211,549 billion as of December 31, 2014 to ￦224,268 billion as of December 31, 2015. Our deposits increased mainly as a result of an increase in demand deposits.

Our total equity increased 5.0% from ￦27,513 billion as of December 31, 2014 to ￦28,902 billion as of December 31, 2015. This increase resulted principally from an increase in our retained earnings, which was attributable to the profit we generated in 2015.

Liquidity

Our primary source of funding has historically been and continues to be deposits. Deposits amounted to ￦211,549 billion, ￦224,268 billion and ￦239,731 billion as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, which represented approximately 82.4%, 82.1% and 79.7% of our total funding, respectively. We have been able to use customer deposits to finance our operations generally, including meeting a portion of our liquidity requirements. Although the majority of deposits are short-term, it has been our experience that the majority of our depositors generally roll over their deposits at maturity, thus providing us with a stable source of funding.However, in the event that a substantial number of our depositors do not roll over their deposits or otherwise decide to withdraw their deposited funds, we would need to place increased reliance on alternative sources of funding, some of which may be more expensive than customer deposits, in order to finance our operations. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to liquidity and capital management—Our funding is highly dependent on short-term deposits, which dependence may adversely affect our operations.” In particular, we may increase our utilization of alternative funding sources such as short-term borrowings and cash and cash equivalents (including funds from maturing loans), as well as liquidating our positions in financial assets and using the proceeds to fund parts of our operations, as necessary.

We also obtain funding through debentures and debts to meet our liquidity needs. Debentures represented 11.4%, 11.9% and 11.6% of our total funding as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Debts represented 6.2%, 5.9% and 8.7% of our total funding as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. For further information on our sources of funding, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Assets and Liabilities—Funding.”

The Financial Services Commission of Korea requires each financial holding company in Korea to maintain specific Won and foreign currency liquidity ratios and each bank in Korea to maintain a liquidity coverage ratio and a foreign currency liquidity ratio. These ratios require us and Kookmin Bank to keep the ratio of liquid assets to liquid liabilities above certain minimum levels. For a description of these requirements, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Liquidity” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Liquidity.”

147

We are exposed to liquidity risk arising from withdrawals of deposits and maturities of our debentures and debts, as well as the need to fund our lending, trading and investment activities (including our capital expenditures) and the management of our trading positions. The goal of liquidity management is for us to be able, even under adverse conditions, to meet all of our liability repayments on time and fund all investment opportunities. For an explanation of how we manage our liquidity risk, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Liquidity Risk Management.” In March 2016, we entered into a land purchase agreement for the purchase of a site located in Yeouido, Seoul, on which we plan to construct a new headquarters building for Kookmin Bank. We anticipate that our total capital expenditures for the construction of the building, which is scheduled to be completed in 2020, will amount to approximately ￦420 billion, of which an aggregate amount of ￦158 billion was incurred as of December 31, 2016.

We are a financial holding company, and substantially all of our operations are in our subsidiaries. Accordingly, we rely on distributions from our subsidiaries (as well as associates), direct borrowings and issuances of debt and equity securities to fund our liquidity obligations at the holding company level. We received aggregate dividends of ￦509 billion and ￦316 billion from our subsidiaries in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and ￦695 billion from our subsidiaries and associates in 2016. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks relating to our financial holding company structure and strategy.”

Capital Adequacy

Kookmin Bank is subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Financial Services Commission applicable to Korean banks. The requirements applicable commencing in December 2013 pursuant to amended Financial Services Commission regulations promulgated in July 2013 were formulated based on Basel III, which was first introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Bank for International Settlements in December 2009. Under the amended Financial Services Commission regulations, all banks in Korea are required to maintain certain minimum ratios of common equity Tier I capital, total Tier I capital and total Tier I and Tier II capital to risk-weighted assets. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Capital Adequacy.”

As of December 31, 2016, Kookmin Bank’s total Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratio was 16.32%.

⁽¹⁾ Under the standardized approach, allowances for credit losses in respect of credits classified as normal or precautionary are used to calculate Tier II capital only to the extent they represent up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets. Under the internal ratings-based approach, allowances for credit losses, less estimated losses, are used to calculate Tier II capital only to the extent they represent up to 0.6% of credit risk-weighted assets.

In addition, we, as a bank holding company, are required to maintain certain minimum capital adequacy ratios pursuant to applicable regulations of the Financial Services Commission. See “Item 4.B.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

IFRS 9Financial Instruments, issued in July 2014, is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. IFRS 9 will replace International Accounting Standard 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be classified and measured on the basis of an entity’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. A new impairment model, based on expected credit losses, is introduced and any subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recognized in profit or loss. Also, hedge accounting rules are amended to extend to more hedging relationships and to allow more hedging instruments and hedged items to qualify for hedge accounting. An effective implementation of IFRS 9 requires preparation processes including financial impact assessment, accounting policy establishment, accounting system development and system stabilization. We are in the process of analyzing the financial impact of IFRS 9 on our consolidated financial statements. For further information regarding IFRS 9, see Note 2.1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

For a description of other recent accounting pronouncements under IFRS as issued by the IASB that have been issued but are not yet effective, see Note 2.1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

⁽¹⁾  Excluding executive officers.

We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory. We and our subsidiaries each have a jointlabor-management council which serves as a forum for ongoing discussions between our management and employees. At six of our subsidiaries, Kookmin Bank, KB Securities, KB Kookmin Card, KB Capital, KB Real Estate Trust and KB Credit Information, our employees have a labor union. Every year, the unions at Kookmin Bank, KB Securities, KB Kookmin Card, KB Capital, KB Real Estate Trust and KB Credit Information and their respective managements negotiate and enter into new collective bargaining agreements and negotiate annual wage adjustments.

Our compensation packages consist of base salary and base bonuses. We also provideperformance-based compensation to employees and management officers, including those of our subsidiaries, depending on level of responsibility of the employee or officer and business of the relevant subsidiary. Typically, executive officers, heads of regional headquarters and employees in positions that require professional skills, such as fund managers and dealers, are compensated depending on their individual annual performance evaluation. Also, Kookmin Bank has implemented aprofit-sharing system in order to enhance the performance of Kookmin Bank’s employees. Under this system, Kookmin Bank pays bonuses to its employees, in addition to the base salary and depending on Kookmin Bank’s annual performance.

In January 2016, we implemented a “mileage stock” program, pursuant to which we may grant to our and our subsidiaries’ employees performance-based cash payments that correspond to the market value of our common shares. The accumulated “miles” of common shares can be exercised for cash during a two-year period commencing on theone-year anniversary of the grant date.

We provide a wide range of benefits to our employees, including our executive directors. Specific benefits provided may vary for each of our subsidiaries but generally include medical insurance, employment insurance, workers compensation, employee and spouse life insurance, free medical examinations, child tuition and fee reimbursement, disabled child financial assistance and reimbursement for medical expenses, and other benefits may be provided depending on the subsidiary.

In accordance with the National Pension Act, we contribute an amount equal to 4.5% of employee wages, and each employee contributes 4.5% of his or her wages, into each employee’s personal pension account. In addition, in accordance with the Guarantee of Worker’s Retirement Benefits Act, we have adopted a retirement pension plan for our employees. Contributions under the retirement pension plan are deposited annually into a

159

financial institution, and an employee may elect to receive a monthly pension or alump-sum amount upon retirement. Our retirement pension plans are provided in the form of a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan. The defined benefit plan guarantees a certain payout at retirement, according to a fixed formula based on the employee’s average salary and the number of years for which the employee has been a plan member. The defined contribution plan, in which the employer’s contribution is determined in advance based on one twelfth of an employee’s total annual pay, is managed directly by the employees. Under Korean law, we may not terminate the employment offull-time employees except under certain limited circumstances. However, from time to time, we invite our employees to apply for our early retirement programs, which provide for varying amounts of severance pay based on the duration of time an employee has worked for us, along with several other key features. We believe that such programs enhance our productivity and efficiency by improving our labor structure.

In June 2009, we established an employee stock ownership plan. All of our employees are eligible to participate in this plan. We are not required to, and do not, make cash contributions to this plan. Members of our employee stock ownership association havepre-emptive rights to acquire up to 20% of our shares issued in public offerings by us pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. In August 2009, we offered to members of our employee stock ownership association 6,000,000 of the 30,000,000 new shares of common stock to be issued in our rights offering to our existing shareholders, and the entire amount was subscribed by members of our employee stock ownership association. The employee stock ownership association held 2,018,501 shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2016.

Employees of Kookmin Bank have been eligible to participate in its employee stock ownership plan, which will be terminated once all of our common stock held by the plan (which the plan received following the transfer of Kookmin Bank shares held by it as a result of the comprehensive stock transfer pursuant to which we were established) have been distributed to the relevant Kookmin Bank employees at the requests of such employees following the expiration of the required holding periods. As of December 31, 2016, Kookmin Bank’s employee stock ownership association held 655,350 shares of our common stock.

In order to develop our next generation of leaders and enhance the operational capability of our employees at each of our subsidiaries, we operate various employee training programs. These programs, which are aimed at cultivating financial specialists with higher levels of management and business skills, developing regional experts for increased global capabilities and enhancing employee loyalty, comprise a number of customized programs such as training courses for employees of different positions, domestic and foreign MBA courses and intensive human resources development programs for high performers to cultivate future leaders. For example, Kookmin Bank offers training programs at its employees’ worksites to facilitate access to training, as well as a foreign regional expert training program and a global language training course. We also provide financial and other support for our employees to develop theirfinance-related knowledge and skills by enrolling in training courses or engaging inself-study programs. The broad spectrum of training programs, combined with thestate-of-the-art technologies such as cyber training, satellite broadcasting andmobile-learning, maximizes the level of exposure of the trainees to the contents of the programs. We also believe that our training scheme based on classified training courses and a development evaluation system has facilitated systemic development of employee skills and a spontaneous learning environment.

Legal Proceedings

Excluding the legal proceedings discussed below, we and our subsidiaries are not a party to any legal or administrative proceedings and no proceedings are known by any of us or our subsidiaries to be contemplated by governmental authorities or third parties, which, if adversely determined, may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2010, Fairfield Sentry Limited, or Fairfield, which is currently in liquidation and whose assets were directly or indirectly invested with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, or BLMIS, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Kookmin Bank, which acted as a trustee bank for its clients who invested in Fairfield. Fairfield seeks restitution of approximately US$42 million paid to Kookmin Bank in connection with share redemptions on the ground that such payments were made by mistake, based on inflated values resulting from BLMIS’ fraud. The case is currently pending at such court. Fairfield has filed similar actions against numerous other fund investors to seek recovery of redemption payments.

In May 2012, the trustee appointed for the liquidation of BLMIS filed a lawsuit against Kookmin Bank in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The trustee seeks recovery of approximately US$42 million, which amount is alleged to be equal to the amount of funds that were redeemed from Fairfield between June 2004 and January 2006 by Kookmin Bank. The trustee alleges that Fairfield was a “feeder fund” that invested in BLMIS and redemptions from such BLMIS feeder fund are avoidable and recoverable under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and New York law. The case is currently pending at such court. The trustee has filed similar clawback actions against numerous other institutions.

In June 2012, Korea Lottery Services Co., Ltd., a lottery system operator in connection with Kookmin Bank’s former lottery operations, filed a lawsuit against Kookmin Bank in the Seoul Central District Court seeking ￦1 billion in damages it allegedly suffered because Kookmin Bank entered into a seven-year service contract with Korea Lottery Services when Kookmin Bank had a five-year lottery operations contract with the Korean government. Kookmin Bank terminated the service contract with Korea Lottery Services upon the expiration of its lottery operations contract with the Korean government, which did not reappoint Kookmin Bank as a lottery operator. In March 2015, Korea Lottery Services increased the amount of damages claimed to ￦108 billion. The Seoul Central District Court dismissed the case in June 2015 and Korea Lottery Services appealed the case to the Seoul High Court, which dismissed the case in February 2016. Korea Lottery Services appealed the case to the Supreme Court of Korea in March 2016, which ruled in favor of Kookmin Bank in December 2016.

In July 2012, the Korea Fair Trade Commission commenced an investigation into alleged collusion among domestic financial institutions, including banks and securities companies, in setting interest rates applicable to three-month certificates of deposit. Such rates were used as a benchmark for banks’ lending rates until a new benchmark rate for bank lending was introduced in December 2012. In February 2016, the Korea Fair Trade Commission sent its formal written report of findings to six commercial banks, including Kookmin Bank, and the respondents submitted their response briefs in April 2016. In July 2016, citing insufficient evidence to prove violation of Korean fair trade laws, the Korea Fair Trade Commission announced that it has decided to terminate its investigation. However, the Korea Fair Trade Commission noted that it could resume its investigation in the future if it finds sufficient evidence to prove that the domestic commercial banks violated Korean fair trade laws.

In November 2012, Kookmin Bank filed a lawsuit against theExport-Import Bank of Korea and other creditor financial institutions comprising the creditors’ committee of a Korean shipbuilding company which is a borrower of Kookmin Bank and is currently in workout. Kookmin Bank voted against extending new credit to such borrower and exercised its appraisal rights. Kookmin Bank is seeking ￦103 billion as compensation for damages and payment of the purchase price of debt held by Kookmin Bank. In November 2012, theExport-Import Bank of Korea and other creditor financial institutions of the borrower filed a counter lawsuit against Kookmin Bank seeking ￦46 billion in damages in connection with the borrower’s debt restructuring

163

plan. In August 2014, the Seoul Central District Court ruled partially in favor of Kookmin Bank in its lawsuit against theExport-Import Bank of Korea and other creditor financial institutions of the borrower, but ruled against Kookmin Bank in the counter lawsuit brought against Kookmin Bank. Both cases were appealed to the Seoul High Court, which dismissed the appeals in February 2016. Both cases have been appealed to the Supreme Court of Korea in February 2016, where they are currently pending.

In February 2014, the Financial Services Commission suspended the new credit card issuance and other related activities of KB Kookmin Card for three months from February to May 2014, in response to an incident involving the misappropriation of the personal information of a large number of its customers by an employee of the Korea Credit Bureau in the first half of 2013. Specifically, during such suspension period, KB Kookmin Card was prohibited from engaging in the following activities:

• adding new subscribers for credit cards, prepaid cards and debit cards or issuing such types of cards (except as permitted by the chairman of the Financial Services Commission for public policy purposes);

• providing new or additional credit lines to credit card customers; and

• providing new services through mail order or telemarketing channels or related to travel or insurance products.

In connection with the misappropriation incident, as of December 31, 2016, certain of KB Kookmin Card’s customers had filed a total of 125 lawsuits against KB Kookmin Card with the aggregate amount of claimed damages amounting to approximately ￦10 billion. The final outcome of such lawsuits remains uncertain. In addition, KB Kookmin Card could become subject to additional litigation and may incur significant costs relating to the compensation of customers for losses incurred as a result of the fraudulent use of the misappropriated personal information.

The KRX KOSPI Market

The KRX KOSPI Market (formerly known as the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange) began its operations in 1956. It has a single trading floor located in Seoul. The KRX KOSPI Market is a membership organization consisting of most of the Korean financial investment companies with a dealing and/or brokerage license and some Korean branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license.

As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the KRX KOSPI Market was approximately ￦1,308 trillion. The average daily trading volume of equity securities for 2016 was approximately 377 million shares and the average daily transaction value was ￦4,523 billion.

The KRX KOSPI Market has the power in some circumstances to suspend trading in the shares of a given company or tode-list a security pursuant to the Listing Regulation of the KRX KOSPI Market. The KRX KOSPI Market also restricts share price movements. All listed companies are required to file accounting reports annually, semiannually and quarterly and to release immediately all information that may affect trading in a security.

The KRX KOSPI Market publishes the KOSPI, which is an index of all equity securities listed on the KRX KOSPI Market, every ten seconds. On January 1, 1983, the method of computing KOSPI was changed from the Dow Jones method to the aggregate value method. In the new method, the market capitalizations of all listed companies are aggregated, subject to certain adjustments, and this aggregate is expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market capitalization of all listed companies as of the base date, January 4, 1980.

Shares are quoted“ex-dividend” on the first trading day of the relevant company’s accounting period. Since the calendar year is the accounting period for the majority of listed companies, this may account for the drop in KOSPI between its closing level at the end of one calendar year and its opening level at the beginning of the following calendar year.

167

With certain exceptions, principally to take account of a share being quoted“ex-dividend” and“ex-rights,” permitted upward and downward movements in share prices of any category of shares on any day are limited under the rules of the KRX KOSPI Market to 30% of the previous day’s closing price of the shares, rounded down as set out below:

Previous Day’s Closing Price (￦)	Rounded Down to ￦
Less than 1,000		1
1,000 to less than 5,000		5
5,000 to less than 10,000		10
10,000 to less than 50,000		50
50,000 to less than 100,000		100
100,000 to less than 500,000		500
500,000 or more		1,000

As a consequence, if a particular closing price is the same as the price set by the fluctuation limit, the closing price may not reflect the price at which persons would have been prepared, or would be prepared to continue, if so permitted, to buy and sell shares. Orders are executed on an auction system with priority rules to deal with competing bids and offers.

Due to the deregulation of restrictions on brokerage commission rates, the brokerage commission rate on equity securities transactions may be determined by the parties, subject to commission schedules being filed with the KRX KOSPI Market by the financial investment companies with a brokerage license. In addition, a securities transaction tax will generally be imposed on the transfer of shares or certain securities representing rights to subscribe for shares. An agriculture and fishery special surtax of 0.15% of the sales prices will also be imposed on transfer of these shares and securities on the KRX KOSPI Market. See “Item 10.E. Taxation—Korean Taxation.”

The Korean securities markets are principally regulated by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which replaced the Korean Securities Exchange Act in February 2009. The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act imposes restrictions on insider trading, price manipulation and deceptive action (including unfair trading), requires specified information to be made available by listed companies to investors and establishes rules regarding margin trading, proxy solicitation, takeover bids, acquisition of treasury shares and reporting requirements for stockholders holding substantial interests.

Protection of Customer’s Interest in Case of Insolvency of Financial Investment Companies with a Brokerage License

Under Korean law, the relationship between a customer and a financial investment company with a brokerage license in connection with a securities sell or buy order is deemed to be consignment and the securities acquired by a consignment agent (i.e., the financial investment company with a brokerage license) through such sell or buy order are regarded as belonging to the customer in so far as the customer and the consignment agent’s creditors are concerned. Therefore, in the event of a bankruptcy or reorganization procedure involving a financial investment company with a brokerage license, the customer of such financial investment company is entitled to the proceeds of the securities sold by such financial investment company.

When a customer places a sell order with a financial investment company with a brokerage license which is not a member of the KRX KOSPI Market, and that financial investment company places a sell order with another financial investment company with a brokerage license, which is a member of the KRX KOSPI Market, the customer is still entitled to the proceeds of the securities sold and received by thenon-member company from the member company regardless of the bankruptcy or reorganization of thenon-member company.

Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the KRX KOSPI Market is obliged to indemnify any loss or damage incurred by a counterparty as a result of a breach by its members. If a financial investment company with a brokerage license which is a member of the KRX KOSPI Market breaches its

169

obligation in connection with a buy order, the KRX KOSPI Market is obliged to pay the purchase price on behalf of the breaching member. Therefore, the customer can acquire the securities that have been ordered to be purchased by the breaching member.

When a customer places a buy order with anon-member company and thenon-member company places a buy order with a member company, the customer has the legal right to the securities received by thenon-member company from the member company because the purchased securities are regarded as belonging to the customer in so far as the customer and thenon-member company’s creditors are concerned.

As the cash deposited with a financial investment company with a brokerage license is regarded as belonging to such financial investment company, which is liable to return the same at the request of its customer, the customer cannot take back deposited cash from such financial investment company if a bankruptcy or reorganization procedure is instituted against such financial investment company and, therefore, can suffer from loss or damage as a result. However, the Depositor Protection Act provides that the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation will, upon the request of the investors, pay investors an amount equal to the full amount of cash deposited with a financial investment company with a brokerage license prior to August 1, 1998 in case of such financial investment company’s bankruptcy, liquidation, cancellation of securities business license or other insolvency events. However, this indemnification was available only until the end of 2000. From 2001, the maximum amount to be paid to each customer is limited to ￦50 million. Pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, financial investment companies with a dealing and/or brokerage license are required to deposit the cash received from its customers to the extent the amount is not covered by the insurance with the Korea Securities Finance Corporation, a special entity established pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.Set-off or attachment of cash deposits by such financial investment companies is prohibited. The premiums related to this insurance are paid by such financial investment companies.

Reporting Requirements for Holders of Substantial Interests

Any person whose direct or beneficial ownership of our common stock with voting rights, whether in the form of shares of common stock or ADSs, certificates representing the rights to subscribe for shares orequity-related debt securities including convertible bonds and bonds with warrants (which we refer to collectively as “Equity Securities”), together with the Equity Securities beneficially owned by certain related persons or by any person acting in concert with the person, accounts for 5% or more of the total issued and outstanding shares (Equity Securities of us held by such persons and treasury stock) is required to report the status and purpose (in terms of whether the purpose of the shareholding is to exercise control over our management) of the holdings to the Financial Services Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market within five business days after reaching the 5% ownership interest. In addition, any change in (i) the ownership interest subsequent to the report that equals or exceeds 1% of the total issued and outstanding Equity Securities of us or (ii) the purpose of the shareholding is required to be reported to the Financial Services Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market within five business days from the date of the change.

Violation of these reporting requirements may subject a person to criminal sanctions such as fines or imprisonment, an administrative fine of up to 0.001% of the aggregate market value of the total issued and outstanding stock or ￦500 million, whichever is lower, and/or a loss of voting rights with respect to the ownership of Equity Securities exceeding 5% of the total issued and outstanding Equity Securities with respect to which the reporting requirements were violated. Furthermore, the Financial Services Commission may order the disposal of the unreported Equity Securities.

In addition to the reporting requirements described above, any person whose direct or beneficial ownership of our stock accounts for 10% or more of the total issued and outstanding stock (which we refer to as a “major stockholder”) must report the status of his/her shareholding to the Korea Securities and Futures Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market within five days after becoming a major stockholder. In addition, any change in the ownership interest subsequent to the report must be reported to the Korea Securities and Futures Commission and

170

the KRX KOSPI Market within five days of the occurrence of the change, provided that such reporting obligation would not apply if the change in the ownership interest consists of less than 1,000 shares and the amount of such change is less than ￦10 million. Violation of these reporting requirements may subject a person to criminal sanctions such as fines or imprisonment.

Any single stockholder and persons who stand in a special relationship with that stockholder that acquire more than 4% of the voting stock of a nationwide Korean bank pursuant to the Bank Act will be subject to reporting requirements. In addition, any single stockholder and persons who stand in a special relationship with that stockholder that acquire in excess of 10% of a nationwide bank’s total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights must receive approval from the Financial Services Commission to acquire shares in each instance where the total shareholding would exceed 10%, 25% or 33%, respectively, of the bank’s total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Restrictions on Bank Ownership.”

Restrictions Applicable to ADSs

No Korean governmental approval is necessary for the sale and purchase of our ADSs in the secondary market outside Korea or for the withdrawal of shares of our common stock underlying the ADSs and the delivery inside Korea of shares in connection with the withdrawal, provided that a foreigner who intends to acquire the shares must obtain an investment registration card from the Financial Supervisory Service as described below. The acquisition of the shares by a foreigner must be immediately reported to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, either by the foreigner or by his standing proxy in Korea.

Persons who have acquired shares of our common stock as a result of the withdrawal of shares underlying our ADSs may exercise their preemptive rights for new shares, participate in free distributions and receive dividends on shares without any further Korean governmental approval.

Under current Korean laws and regulations, the depositary is required to obtain our prior consent for the number of shares of our common stock to be deposited in any given proposed deposit that exceeds the difference between:

(1) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock deposited by us for the issuance of our ADSs (including deposits in connection with the initial issuance and all subsequent offerings of our ADSs and stock dividends or other distributions related to these ADSs); and

(2) the number of shares of our common stock on deposit with the depositary at the time of such proposed deposit.

We have agreed to grant such consent to the extent that the total number of shares on deposit with the depositary would not exceed 116,583,985 at any time.

Restrictions Applicable to Shares

As a result of amendments to the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws and Financial Services Commission regulations (which we refer to collectively as the “Investment Rules”) adopted in connection with the stock market opening from January 1992 and after that date, foreigners may invest, with limited exceptions and subject to procedural requirements, in all shares of Korean companies, whether listed on the KRX KOSPI Market or on the KRX KOSDAQ Market, unless prohibited by specific laws. Foreign investors may trade shares listed on the KRX KOSPI Market or on the KRX KOSDAQ Market only through the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market, except in limited circumstances, including:

• odd-lot trading of shares;

171

• acquisition of shares (which we refer to as “Converted Shares”) by exercise of warrants, conversion rights or exchange rights under bonds with warrants, convertible bonds or exchangeable bonds or withdrawal rights under depositary receipts issued outside of Korea by a Korean company;

• acquisition of shares as a result of inheritance, donation, bequest or exercise of stockholders’ rights, including preemptive rights or rights to participate in free distributions and receive dividends;

• over-the-counter transactions between foreigners of a class of shares for which the ceiling on aggregate acquisition by foreigners, as explained below, has been reached or exceeded subject to certain exceptions; and

• sale and purchase of shares at fair value between foreigners who are part of an investor group comprised of foreign companies investing under the control of a common investment manager pursuant to applicable laws or contract.

Forover-the-counter transactions of shares between foreigners outside the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market for shares with respect to which the limit on aggregate foreign ownership has been reached or exceeded, a financial investment company with a brokerage license in Korea must act as an intermediary.Odd-lot trading of shares outside the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market must involve a financial investment company with a dealing license as the other party. Foreign investors are prohibited from engaging in margin transactions by borrowing shares from a financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license with respect to shares that are subject to a foreign ownership limit.

The Investment Rules require a foreign investor who wishes to invest in shares on the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market (including Converted Shares and shares being issued for initial listing on the KRX KOSPI Market or on KRX KOSDAQ Market) to register its identity with the Financial Supervisory Service prior to making any such investment. The registration requirement does not, however, apply to foreign investors who acquire Converted Shares with the intention of selling such Converted Shares within three months from the date of acquisition. Upon registration, the Financial Supervisory Service will issue to the foreign investor an investment registration card, which must be presented each time the foreign investor opens a brokerage account with a financial investment company with a brokerage license. Foreigners eligible to obtain an investment registration card include foreign nationals who have not been residing in Korea for a consecutive period of six months or more, foreign governments, foreign municipal authorities, foreign public institutions, international financial institutions or similar international organizations, corporations incorporated under foreign laws and any person in any additional category designated by the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. All Korean offices of a foreign corporation as a group are treated as a separate foreigner from the offices of the corporation outside Korea for the purpose of investment registration. However, a foreign corporation or depositary issuing depositary receipts may obtain one or more investment registration cards in its name in certain circumstances as described in the relevant regulations.

Upon a foreign investor’s purchase of shares through the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market, no separate report by the investor is required because the investment registration card system is designed to control and oversee foreign investment through a computer system. However, a foreign investor’s acquisition or sale of shares outside the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market (as discussed above) must be reported by the foreign investor or his standing proxy to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service at the time of each such acquisition or sale. In particular, if a foreign investor acquires or sells his shares in connection with a tender offer,odd-lot trading of shares or trades of a class of shares for which the aggregate foreign ownership limit has been reached or exceeded, such foreign investor or his standing proxy must ensure that the financial investment company that was engaged to facilitate the transaction reports such transaction to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service. A foreign investor may appoint a standing proxy from among the Korea Securities Depository, foreign exchange banks (including domestic branches of foreign banks), financial investment companies with a dealing and/or brokerage license (including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license), financial investment companies with a collective investment license

172

(including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license) and internationally recognized custodians which will act as a standing proxy to exercise stockholders’ rights or perform any matters related to the foregoing activities if the foreign investor does not perform these activities himself. Generally, a foreign investor may not permit any person, other than its standing proxy, to exercise rights relating to his shares or perform any tasks related thereto on his behalf. However, a foreign investor may be exempted from complying with these standing proxy rules with the approval of the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service in cases deemed inevitable, including by reason of conflict between laws of Korea and the home country of the foreign investor.

Certificates evidencing shares of Korean companies must be kept in the custody of an eligible custodian in Korea. The same entities eligible to act as a standing proxy are eligible to act as a custodian of shares for anon-resident or foreign investor. A foreign investor must ensure that its custodian deposits its shares with the Korea Securities Depository. A foreign investor may be exempted from complying with this deposit requirement with the approval of the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service in circumstances where compliance with that requirement is made impracticable, including cases where compliance would contravene the laws of the foreign investors’ home country.

Under the Investment Rules, with certain exceptions, foreign investors may acquire shares of a Korean company without being subject to any foreign investment ceiling. As one such exception, designated public corporations are subject to a 40% ceiling on the acquisition of shares by foreigners in the aggregate. In addition, designated public corporations may set a ceiling on the acquisition of shares by a single person in their articles of incorporation. Furthermore, an investment by a foreign investor in 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares with voting rights of a Korean company is defined as a foreign direct investment under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act of Korea. Generally, a foreign direct investment must be reported to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea. The acquisition of shares of a Korean company by a foreign investor may also be subject to certain foreign or other shareholding restrictions in the event that the restrictions are prescribed in a specific law that regulates the business of the Korean company. For a description of such restrictions applicable to Korean banks, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks—Restrictions on Bank Ownership.”

Description of Capital Stock

Set forth below is information relating to our capital stock, including brief summaries of certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, the Korean Commercial Code, Financial Investment Services and Capital

173

Markets Act and certain related laws of Korea, all as currently in effect. The following summaries do not purport to be complete and are subject to the articles of incorporation and the applicable provisions of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the Korean Commercial Code, and certain other related laws of Korea.

As of December 31, 2016, our authorized share capital is 1,000,000,000 shares. Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, we are authorized to issue shares with preferred dividend,non-voting shares, class shares with conversion rights, class shares with redemption rights and shares with a combination of all or any of the foregoing characteristics (collectively, “Class Shares”), as well as common shares. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, we are authorized to issue Class Shares up toone-half of all of our issued and outstanding shares.

Under our articles of incorporation, dividends onnon-voting shares with preferred dividend are required to be at least 1% per annum of the par value and the board of directors must determine at the time of issuance of such shares the dividend rate, type of distributable properties, method of determining the value of distributable properties and conditions on payment of dividends. Also, we may, pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors, issue suchnon-voting shares with preferred dividend as redeemable shares that may be redeemed with profits at the relevant shareholder’s or our discretion, up toone-half of all of our issued and outstanding shares.

In addition, pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors, we may issue shares that are convertible into common shares or Class Shares at the request of the relevant shareholders, up to 20% of all of our issued and outstanding shares. The period during which a relevant shareholder may make a request for conversion may be determined by a resolution of the board of directors and must be a period between one and ten years from the issue date.

Furthermore, through an amendment of the articles of incorporation, we may create new classes of shares, which may be common shares or Class Shares having additional features as prescribed under the Korean Commercial Code. See “—Voting Rights.”

As of the date of this annual report, 418,111,537 shares of common stock were issued and 418,111,537 shares of common stock were outstanding. No Class Shares are currently outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares arefully-paid andnon-assessable, and are in registered form. Our authorized but unissued share capital consists of 581,888,463 shares. We may issue the unissued shares without further stockholder approval, subject to a board resolution as provided in the articles of incorporation. See “—Preemptive Rights and Issuances of Additional Shares” and “—Dividends and Other Distributions—Distribution of Free Shares.”

Our articles of incorporation provide that our stockholders may, by special resolution, grant to our and our subsidiaries’ officers and employees stock options exercisable for up to 15% of the total number of our issued and outstanding shares. Our board of directors may also grant stock options to officers and employees other than directors exercisable for up to 1% of our issued and outstanding shares, provided that such grant must be approved by a resolution of the subsequent general meeting of stockholders. As of March 31, 2017, none of our officers, directors and employees held options to purchase shares of our common stock. See “Item 6.E. Share Ownership—Stock Options.”

Share certificates are issued in denominations of one, five, ten, 50, 100, 500, 1,000 and 10,000 shares.

Organization and Register

We are a financial holding company established under the Financial Holding Company Act. We are registered with the commercial registry office of Seoul Central District Court.

174

Dividends and Other Distributions

Dividends

Dividends are distributed to stockholders in proportion to the number of shares of the relevant class of capital stock owned by each stockholder following approval by the stockholders at an annual general meeting of stockholders. Subject to the requirements of the Korean Commercial Code and other applicable laws and regulations, we expect to pay full annual dividends on newly issued shares for the year in which the new shares are issued.

We declare our dividend annually at the annual general meeting of stockholders, which are held within three months after the end of each fiscal year. Once declared, the annual dividend must be paid to the stockholders of record as of the end of the preceding fiscal year within one month after the annual general meeting unless otherwise resolved thereby. Annual dividends may be distributed either in cash or in shares provided that shares must be distributed at par value and, if the market price of the shares is less than their par value, dividends in shares may not exceedone-half of the total annual dividend (including dividends in shares).

Under the Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation, we do not have an obligation to pay any annual dividend unclaimed for five years from the payment date.

The Financial Holding Company Act and related regulations require that each time a Korean financial holding company pays an annual dividend, it must set aside in its legal reserve to stated capital an amount equal to at leastone-tenth of its net income after tax until the amount set aside reaches at least the aggregate amount of its stated capital. Unless it sets aside this amount, a Korean financial holding company may not pay an annual dividend. We intend to set aside allowances for loan losses and reserves for severance pay in addition to this legal reserve.

For information regarding Korean taxes on dividends, see “Item 10.E. Taxation—Korean Taxation.”

Distribution of Free Shares

In addition to permitting dividends in the form of shares to be paid out of retained or current earnings, the Korean Commercial Code permits a company to distribute to its stockholders, in the form of free shares, an amount transferred from the capital surplus or legal reserve to stated capital. These free shares must be distributed pro rata to all stockholders. Our articles of incorporation provide that the types of shares to be distributed to the holders ofnon-voting shares with preferred dividend will be the same type ofnon-voting shares with preferred dividend held by such holders.

Preemptive Rights and Issuances of Additional Shares

Unless otherwise provided in the Korean Commercial Code, a company may issue authorized but unissued shares at such times and upon such terms as the board of directors of the company may determine. The company must offer the new shares on uniform terms to all stockholders who have preemptive rights and who are listed on the stockholders’ register as of the applicable record date. Our stockholders will be entitled to subscribe for any newly issued shares in proportion to their existing shareholdings. However, as provided in our articles of incorporation, new shares may be issued to persons other than existing stockholders if such shares are:

(1) publicly offered pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, (2) issued to an employee stock ownership association, (3) issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, (4) issued for the issuance of our depositary receipts, (5) issued to certain foreign or domestic financial institutions or institutional investors to raise funds to meet urgent needs for our management or operations or (6) issued primarily to a third party who has contributed to the management of

175

our business, including by providing financing, credit, advanced financing technique,know-how or entering into close business alliances, except that, in the case of issuances of new shares under (1), (4), (5) and (6) above, the number of new shares issued to persons other than existing stockholders may not exceed 50% of our total issued and outstanding capital stock.

Public notice of the preemptive rights to new shares and the transferability thereof must be given not less than two weeks (excluding the period during which the stockholders’ register is closed) prior to the record date. We will notify the stockholders or persons other than existing stockholders, who are entitled to subscribe for newly issued shares of the deadline for subscription at least two weeks prior to the deadline. If such stockholders or persons fail to subscribe on or before such deadline, their preemptive rights will lapse. Our board of directors may determine how to distribute shares in respect of which preemptive rights have not been exercised or where fractions of shares occur.

Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, members of a company’s employee stock ownership association, whether or not they are stockholders, will have a preemptive right, subject to certain exceptions, to subscribe for up to 20% of the shares publicly offered pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. This right is exercisable only to the extent that the total number of shares so acquired and held by such members does not exceed 20% of the total number of shares then issued and outstanding.

Voting Rights

Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share. However, voting rights with respect to shares of common stock that we hold or any of our subsidiaries holds may not be exercised. Unless stated otherwise in a company’s articles of incorporation, the Korean Commercial Code permits holders of an aggregate of 1% or more of the issued and outstanding shares with voting rights to request cumulative voting when electing two or more directors. Our articles of incorporation do not prohibit cumulative voting. The Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation provide that an ordinary resolution may be adopted if approval is obtained from the holders of at least a majority of those shares of common stock present or represented at such meeting and such majority also represents at leastone-fourth of the total of our issued and outstanding voting shares. Holders ofnon-voting shares (other than enfranchisednon-voting shares) will not be entitled to vote on any resolution or to receive notice of any general meeting of stockholders unless the agenda of the meeting includes consideration of a resolution on which such holders are entitled to vote. The Korean Commercial Code provides that a company’s articles of incorporation may prescribe conditions for the enfranchisement ofnon-voting shares. For example, if our annual general stockholders’ meeting resolves not to pay to holders ofnon-voting shares with preferred dividend the annual dividend as determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance of such shares, the holders ofnon-voting shares with preferred dividend will be entitled to exercise voting rights from the general stockholders’ meeting following the meeting adopting such resolution to the end of a meeting to declare to pay such dividend with respect to thenon-voting shares with preferred dividend. Holders of such enfranchisednon-voting shares with preferred dividend will have the same rights as holders of common stock to request, receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting of stockholders.

The Korean Commercial Code provides that to amend the articles of incorporation, which is also required for any change to the authorized share capital of the company, and in certain other instances, including removal of a director of a company, dissolution, merger or consolidation of a company, transfer of the whole or a significant part of the business of a company, acquisition of all of the business of any other company, acquisition of a part of the business of any other company having a material effect on the business of the company or issuance of new shares at a price lower than their par value, a special resolution must be adopted by the approval of the holders of at leasttwo-thirds of those shares present or represented at such meeting and such special majority also represents at leastone-third of the total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights of the company.

176

In addition, in the case of amendments to the articles of incorporation or any merger or consolidation of a company or in certain other cases, where the rights or interest of the holders of Class Shares are adversely affected, a resolution must be adopted by a separate meeting of holders of Class Shares. Such a resolution may be adopted if the approval is obtained from stockholders of at leasttwo-thirds of the Class Shares present or represented at such meeting and such shares also represent at leastone-third of the total issued and outstanding Class Shares of the company.

A stockholder may exercise his voting rights by proxy given to another stockholder. The proxy must present the power of attorney prior to the start of a meeting of stockholders.

Liquidation Rights

In the event we are liquidated, the assets remaining after the payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes will first be distributed to holders of Class Shares which have a preference right in respect of the distribution of residual properties as determined by our board of directors at the time of their issuance, and the residue thereafter will be distributed to the other stockholders in proportion to the number of shares held by them.

General Meetings of Stockholders

There are two types of general meetings of stockholders: annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings. We are required to convene our annual general meeting within three months after the end of each fiscal year. Subject to a board resolution or court approval, an extraordinary general meeting of stockholders may be held when necessary or at the request of the holders of an aggregate of 3% or more of our issued and outstanding shares, or the holders of an aggregate of 0.75% or more of our issued and outstanding stock with voting rights, who have held those shares at least for six months, under the Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies and itssub-regulations. Under the Korean Commercial Code, an extraordinary general meeting of stockholders may also be convened at the request of our Audit Committee, subject to a board resolution or court approval. Holders ofnon-voting shares may be entitled to request a general meeting of stockholders only to the extent thenon-voting shares have become enfranchised as described under the section entitled “—Voting Rights” above, hereinafter referred to as “enfranchisednon-voting shares.” Meeting agendas will be determined by the board of directors or proposed by holders of an aggregate of 3% or more of the issued and outstanding shares with voting rights, or by holders of an aggregate of 0.1% or more of our issued and outstanding shares with voting rights, who have held those shares for at least six months, by way of a written proposal to the board of directors at least six weeks prior to the meeting, under the Act on the Corporate Governance of Financial Companies and itssub-regulations. Written notices ore-mail notices stating the date, place and agenda of the meeting must be given to the stockholders at least two weeks prior to the date of the general meeting of stockholders. Notice may, however, be given to holders of 1% or less of the total number of issued and outstanding shares which are entitled to vote, either by placing at least two public notices at least two weeks in advance of the meeting in at least two daily newspapers or by placing a notice through the electronic disclosure system operated by the Financial Supervisory Service or the Korea Exchange. Stockholders who are not on the stockholders’ register as of the record date will not be entitled to receive notice of the general meeting of stockholders, and they will not be entitled to attend or vote at such meeting. Holders of enfranchisednon-voting shares who are on the stockholders’ register as of the record date will be entitled to receive notice of the general meeting of stockholders and they will be entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. Otherwise, holders ofnon-voting shares will not be entitled to receive notice of or vote at general meetings of stockholders.

The general meeting of stockholders will be held at our head office, which is our registered head office, or, if necessary, may be held anywhere in the vicinity of our head office.

Rights of Dissenting Stockholders

Pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the Act on the Improvement of the Structure of the Financial Industry, in certain limited circumstances (including, without limitation, if we

177

transfer all or any significant part of our business, if we acquire a part of the business of any other company and such acquisition has a material effect on our business or if we merge or consolidate with another company), dissenting holders of shares of our common stock and our stock with preferred dividend who acquired such shares prior to the announcement of the relevant resolution of the board of directors (or up to one day after such announcement in the event that such resolution is made by the board of directors pursuant to an Enforcement Decree) will have the right to require us to purchase their shares by providing written notice to us.To exercise such a right, stockholders must submit to us a written notice of their intention to dissent prior to the general meeting of stockholders. Within 20 days (10 days in the case of a merger or consolidation under the Law on Improvement of the Structure of the Financial Industry) after the date on which the relevant resolution is passed at such meeting, such dissenting stockholders must request in writing that we purchase their shares. We are obligated to purchase the shares from dissenting stockholders within one month after the end of such request period (within two months after the receipt of such request in the case of a merger or consolidation under the Law on Improvement of the Structure of Financial Industry) at a price to be determined by negotiation between the stockholder and us. If we cannot agree on a price with the stockholder through such negotiations, the purchase price will be the arithmetic mean of:

• the weighted average of the daily stock prices on the KRX KOSPI Market for thetwo-month period prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution;

• the weighted average of the daily stock prices on the KRX KOSPI Market for theone-month period prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution; and

• the weighted average of the daily stock prices on the KRX KOSPI Market for theone-week period prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution.

However, any dissenting stockholder who wishes to contest the purchase price may bring a claim in court.

Required Disclosure of Ownership

Under Korean law, stockholders who beneficially hold more than a certain percentage of our common stock, or who are related to or are acting in concert with other holders of certain percentages of our common stock or our other equity securities, must report the status of their holdings to the Financial Services Commission and other relevant governmental authorities. For a description of such required disclosure of ownership, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Restrictions on Ownership of a Financial Holding Company” and “Item 9.C. Markets—Reporting Requirements for Holders of Substantial Interests.”

Other Provisions

Register of Stockholders and Record Dates

We maintain the register of our stockholders at our principal office in Seoul, Korea. We register transfers of shares on the register of stockholders upon presentation of the share certificates.

The record date for annual dividends is December 31. For the purpose of determining the holders of shares entitled to annual dividends, the register of stockholders may be closed for the period beginning from January 1 and ending on January 31. Further, the Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation permit us upon at least two weeks’ public notice to set a record date and/or close the register of stockholders for not more than three months for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to certain rights pertaining to the shares. However, in the event that the register of stockholders is closed for the period beginning from January 1 and ending on January 31 for the purpose of determining the holders of shares entitled to attend the annual general meeting of stockholders, the Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation waive the requirement to provide at least two weeks’ public notice.The trading of shares and the delivery of certificates in

178

respect thereof may continue while the register of stockholders is closed. Also, we may distribute dividends to stockholders on a quarterly basis, and the record dates for these quarterly dividends are the end of March, June and September of each year.

Annual Reports

At least one week before the annual general meeting of stockholders, we must make our management report to shareholders and audited financial statements available for inspection at our head office and at all of our branch offices. Copies of this report, the audited financial statements and any resolutions adopted at the general meeting of stockholders are available to our stockholders.

Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, we must file with the Korean Financial Services Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market an annual business report within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, ahalf-year business report within 45 days after the end of the first six months of each fiscal year and quarterly business reports within 45 days after the end of the first three months and nine months of each fiscal year, respectively. Copies of such business reports will be available for public inspection at the Korean Financial Services Commission and the KRX KOSPI Market.

Transfer of Shares

Under the Korean Commercial Code, the transfer of shares is effected by the delivery of share certificates. The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act provides, however, that in case of a company listed on the KRX KOSPI Market such as us, share transfers can be effected by thebook-entry method. In order to assert stockholders’ rights against us, the transferee must have his name and address registered on the register of stockholders. For this purpose, stockholders are required to file with us their name, address and seal.Non-resident stockholders must notify us of the name of their proxy in Korea to which our notice can be sent.

Under current Korean regulations, the following entities may act as agents and provide related services for foreign stockholders:

• the Korea Securities Depository;

• internationally recognized foreign custodians;

• financial investment companies with a dealing license (including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license);

• financial investment companies with a brokerage license (including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license);

• foreign exchange banks (including domestic branches of foreign banks); and

• financial investment companies with a collective investment license (including domestic branches of foreign financial investment companies with such license).

In addition, foreign stockholders may appoint a standing proxy among the foregoing and generally may not allow any person other than the standing proxy to exercise rights to the acquired shares or perform any tasks related thereto on their behalf. Certain foreign exchange controls and securities regulations apply to the transfer of shares bynon-residents ornon-Koreans. See “Item 9.C. Markets” and “Item 10.D. Exchange Controls.” Except as provided in the Financial Holding Company, the ceiling on the aggregate shareholdings of a single stockholder and persons who stand in a special relationship with such stockholder is 10% of our issued and outstanding voting shares. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies—Restrictions on Ownership of a Financial Holding Company.”

179

Acquisition of Our Shares

Under the Korean Commercial Code, we may acquire our own shares upon a resolution of a general meeting of shareholders by either (i) purchasing them on a stock exchange or (ii) purchasing a number of shares, other than the redeemable shares as set forth in Article 345, Paragraph (1) of the Korean Commercial Code, from each shareholder in proportion to their existing shareholding ratio through the methods set forth in the Presidential Decree, provided that the total purchase price does not exceed the amount of our profit that may be distributed as dividends in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

Additionally, pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and regulations under the Financial Holding Company Act and after submission of certain reports to the Korean Financial Services Commission, we may purchase our own shares on the KRX KOSPI Market or through a tender offer, subject to the restrictions that:

• the aggregate purchase price of such shares may not exceed the total amount available for distribution of dividends at the end of the preceding fiscal year; and

• the purchase of such shares shall meet therisk-adjusted capital ratio requirements prescribed in the regulations under the Financial Holding Company Act based on Bank for International Settlements standards.

Subject to certain limited exceptions, our subsidiaries will not be permitted to acquire our shares pursuant to the Financial Holding Company Act.

Item 10.C. Material Contracts

None.

Item 10.D. Exchange Controls

General

The Foreign Exchange Transaction Act of Korea and the Enforcement Decree and regulations under that Act and Decree, which we refer to collectively as the “Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws,” regulate investment in Korean securities bynon-residents and issuance of securities outside Korea by Korean companies.Non-residents may invest in Korean securities pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws. The Financial Services Commission has also adopted, pursuant to its authority under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, regulations that restrict investment by foreigners in Korean securities and regulate issuance of securities outside Korea by Korean companies.

Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, (1) if the Korean government deems that it is inevitable due to the outbreak of natural calamities, wars, conflict of arms or grave and sudden changes in domestic or foreign economic circumstances or other situations equivalent thereto, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance may temporarily suspend payment, receipt or the whole or part of transactions to which the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws apply, or impose an obligation tosafe-keep, deposit or sell means of payment in or to certain Korean governmental agencies or financial institutions; and (2) if the Korean government deems that international balance of payments and international finance are confronted or are likely to be confronted with serious difficulty or the movement of capital between Korea and abroad brings or is likely to bring about serious obstacles in carrying out its currency policies, exchange rate policies and other macroeconomic policies, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance may take measures to require any person who intends to perform capital transactions to obtain permission or to require any person who performs capital transactions to deposit part of the payments received in such transactions at certain Korean governmental agencies or financial institutions, in each case subject to certain limitations.

180

Restrictions Applicable to Shares

Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, a foreign investor who intends to acquire shares must designate a foreign exchange bank at which he must open a foreign currency account and a Won account exclusively for stock investments. No approval is required for remittance into Korea and deposit of foreign currency funds in the foreign currency account. Foreign currency funds may be transferred from the foreign currency account at the time required to place a deposit for, or settle the purchase price of, a stock purchase transaction to a Won account opened at a financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license. Funds in the foreign currency account may be remitted abroad without any Korean governmental approval.

Dividends on shares of Korean companies are paid in Won. No Korean governmental approval is required for foreign investors to receive dividends on, or the Won proceeds of the sale of, any shares to be paid, received and retained in Korea. Dividends paid on, and the Won proceeds of the sale of, any shares held by anon-resident of Korea must be deposited either in a Won account with the investor’s financial investment company with a dealing and/or brokerage license or in his Won account. Funds in the investor’s Won account may be transferred to his foreign currency account or withdrawn for local living expenses up to certain limitations. Funds in the Won account may also be used for future investment in shares or for payment of the subscription price of new shares obtained through the exercise of preemptive rights.

Financial investment companies with dealing and/or brokerage licenses are allowed to open foreign currency accounts with foreign exchange banks exclusively for accommodating foreign investors’ stock investments in Korea. Through these accounts, such financial investment companies may enter into foreign exchange transactions on a limited basis, such as conversion of foreign currency funds and Won funds, either as a counterparty to or on behalf of foreign investors, without the investors having to open their own accounts with foreign exchange banks.

Item 10.E. Taxation

United States Taxation

This summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences for a U.S. holder (as defined below) of acquiring, owning, and disposing of common shares or ADSs. This summary applies to you only if you hold the common shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. This summary does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

• a dealer in securities or currencies;

• a trader in securities that elects to use amark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings;

• a bank;

• a life insurance company;

• atax-exempt organization;

• an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a partner in such partnership;

• a person that holds common shares or ADSs that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate or currency risks;

• a person that holds common shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes;

• a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar; or

• a person that owns or is deemed to own 5% or more of any class of our stock.

181

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder, and published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

This summary does not discuss the application of the Medicare net investment income tax or the alternative minimum tax.

Please consult your own tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local, and other tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing of common shares or ADSs in your particular circumstances.

For purposes of this summary, you are a “U.S. holder” if you are the beneficial owner of a common share or an ADS and are:

• a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a U.S. domestic corporation; or

• otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis with respect to income from the common share or ADS.

In general, if you are the beneficial owner of ADSs, you will be treated as the beneficial owner of the common shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no gain or loss will be recognized if you exchange an ADS for the common share represented by that ADS.

Dividends

The gross amount of cash dividends that you receive (prior to deduction of Korean taxes) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as foreign source “passive category” dividend income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Dividends paid in Won will be included in your income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of your receipt of the dividend, in the case of common shares, or the depositary’s receipt, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If such a dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.

Subject to certain exceptions forshort-term and hedged positions, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by an individual with respect to the ADSs will be subject to taxation at reduced rates if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid on the ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if (i) the ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and (ii) we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“PFIC”). The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and will qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. Based on our audited financial statements, we believe that we were not a PFIC in our 2015 or 2016 taxable year. In addition, based on our audited financial statements and current expectations regarding our income, assets and activities, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2017 taxable year.

Distributions of additional shares in respect of common shares or ADSs that are made as part of apro-rata distribution to all of our stockholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Sale or Other Disposition

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain or loss you realize on a sale or other disposition of common shares or ADSs generally will be treated as U.S. source capital gain or loss, and will belong-term capital gain or loss if the common shares or ADSs were held for more than one year. Your ability to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited.Long-term capital gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder generally is subject to taxation at reduced rates.

182

Foreign Tax Credit Considerations

You should consult your own tax advisers to determine whether you are subject to any special rules that limit your ability to make effective use of foreign tax credits, including the possible adverse impact of failing to take advantage of benefits under the income tax treaty between the United States and Korea. If no such rules apply, you may claim a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability for Korean taxes withheld from dividends on the common shares or ADSs, so long as you have owned the common shares or ADSs (and not entered into specified kinds of hedging transactions) for at least a16-day period that includes theex-dividend date. Instead of claiming a credit, you may, if you so elect, deduct such Korean taxes in computing your taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. tax law. Korean taxes withheld from a distribution of additional shares that is not subject to U.S. tax may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as imposed on “general category” income. Such treatment could affect your ability to utilize any available foreign tax credit in respect of such taxes.

Any Korean securities transaction tax or agriculture and fishery special surtax that you pay will not be creditable for foreign tax credit purposes.

Foreign tax credits will not be allowed for withholding taxes imposed in respect of certainshort-term or hedged positions in securities and may not be allowed in respect of arrangements in which a U.S. holder’s expected economic profit is insubstantial.

The calculation of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a U.S. holder that elects to deduct foreign taxes, the availability of deductions involve the application of complex rules that depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. You should consult your own tax advisers regarding the creditability or deductibility of such taxes.

Specified Foreign Financial Assets

Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at anon-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by anon-U.S. issuer (which would include the common shares or ADSs) that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisers concerning the application of these rules to their investment in the common shares or ADSs, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Rules

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certainU.S.-related financial intermediaries are subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding unless the holder (i) is a corporation or other exempt recipient and demonstrates this when required or (ii) provides a taxpayer identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. Holders that are not U.S. persons generally are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, such a holder may be required to provide a certification of itsnon-U.S. status in connection with payments received within the United States or through aU.S.-related financial intermediary.

183

Korean Taxation

The following summary of Korean tax considerations applies to you so long as you are not:

• a resident of Korea;

• a corporation with its head office, principal place of business or place of effective management in Korea; or

• engaged in a trade or business in Korea through a permanent establishment or a fixed base to which the relevant income is attributable or with which the relevant income is effectively connected.

Taxation of Dividends on Common Shares or ADSs

We will deduct Korean withholding tax from dividends paid to you (whether payable in cash or in shares) at a rate of 22.0% (inclusive of local income surtax). If you are a qualified resident and a beneficial owner of the dividends in a country that has entered into a tax treaty with Korea, you may qualify for a reduced rate of Korean withholding tax. See “—Tax Treaties” below for a discussion on treaty benefits. If we distribute to you free shares representing a transfer of earning surplus or certain capital reserves intopaid-in capital, that distribution may be subject to Korean withholding tax.

Taxation of Capital Gains from Transfer of Common Shares or ADSs

As a general rule, capital gains earned bynon-residents upon transfer of our common shares or ADSs are subject to Korean withholding tax at the lower of (1) 11.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the gross proceeds realized or (2) subject to the production of satisfactory evidence of acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs of the common shares or ADSs, 22.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the net realized gain, unless exempt from Korean income taxation under the applicable Korean tax treaty with thenon-resident’s country of tax residence. See “—Tax Treaties” below for a discussion on treaty benefits. Even if you do not qualify for an exemption under a tax treaty, you will not be subject to the foregoing withholding tax on capital gains if you qualify under the relevant Korean domestic tax law exemptions discussed in the following paragraphs.

In regards to the transfer of our common shares through the Korea Exchange, you will not be subject to the withholding tax on capital gains (as described in the preceding paragraph) if you (1) have no permanent establishment in Korea and (2) did not own or have not owned (together with any shares owned by any person with which you have a certain special relationship) 25% or more of the total issued and outstanding shares, which may include the common shares represented by the ADSs, at any time during the calendar year in which the sale occurs and during the five consecutive calendar years prior to the calendar year in which the sale occurs.

Under Korean tax law, ADSs are viewed as shares of common stock for capital gains tax purposes. Accordingly, capital gains from the sale or disposition of ADSs are taxed (if such sale or disposition constitutes a taxable event) as if such gains are from the sale or disposition of the underlying common shares. Capital gains that you earn (regardless of whether you have a permanent establishment in Korea) from a transfer of ADSs outside of Korea will generally be exempt from Korean income taxation by virtue of the Special Tax Treatment Control Law of Korea, or the STTCL, provided that the issuance of the ADSs is deemed to be an overseas issuance under the STTCL. However, if you transfer ADSs after having converted the underlying common shares, such exemption under the STTCL will not apply and you will be required to file a corporate income tax return and pay tax in Korea with respect to any capital gains derived from such transfer unless the purchaser or a financial investment company with a brokerage license, as applicable, withholds and pays such tax.

If you are subject to tax on capital gains with respect to the sale of ADSs, or of our common shares you acquired as a result of a withdrawal, the purchaser or, in the case of the sale of the common shares on the Korea Exchange or through a financial investment company with a brokerage license in Korea, such financial

184

investment company is required to withhold Korean tax from the sales price in an amount equal to the lower of (1) 11.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the gross realization proceeds or (2) subject to the production of satisfactory evidence of acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs of the common shares or ADSs, 22.0% (inclusive of local income surtax) of the net realized gain, and to make payment of these amounts to the Korean tax authority, unless you establish your entitlement to an exemption under an applicable tax treaty or domestic tax law. See the discussion under “—Tax Treaties” below for an additional explanation on claiming treaty benefits.

Tax Treaties

Korea has entered into a number of income tax treaties with other countries (including the United States), which would reduce or exempt Korean withholding tax on dividends on, and capital gains on transfer of, the common shares or ADSs. For example, under theKorea-United States income tax treaty, reduced rates of Korean withholding tax of 16.5% or 11.0% (depending on your shareholding ratio and inclusive of local income surtax) on dividends and an exemption from Korean withholding tax on capital gains are available to residents of the United States that are beneficial owners of the relevant dividend income or capital gains, subject to certain exceptions. However, under Article 17 (Investment or Holding Companies) of theKorea-United States income tax treaty, such reduced rates and exemption do not apply if (i) you are a United States corporation, (ii) by reason of any special measures, the tax imposed on you by the United States with respect to such dividend income or capital gains is substantially less than the tax generally imposed by the United States on corporate profits and (iii) 25% or more of your capital is held of record or is otherwise determined, after consultation between competent authorities of the United States and Korea, to be owned directly or indirectly by one or more persons who are not individual residents of the United States. Also, under Article 16 (Capital Gains) of theKorea-United States income tax treaty, the exemption on capital gains does not apply if (a) you have a permanent establishment in Korea and any shares of common stock in which you hold an interest and which gives rise to capital gains are effectively connected with such permanent establishment, (b) you are an individual and you maintain a fixed base in Korea for an aggregate of 183 days or more during a given taxable year and your ADSs or common shares giving rise to capital gains are effectively connected with such fixed base or (c) you are an individual and you are present in Korea for an aggregate of 183 days or more during a given taxable year.

You should inquire for yourself whether you are entitled to the benefit of a tax treaty between Korea and the country where you are a resident. It is the responsibility of the party claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty in respect of dividend payments or capital gains to submit to us, the purchaser or the financial investment company, as applicable, a certificate as to his tax residence. In the absence of sufficient proof, we, the purchaser or the financial investment company, as applicable, must withhold tax at the normal rates. Furthermore, in order for you to claim the benefit of a tax rate reduction or tax exemption on certain Korean source income (such as dividends or capital gains) under an applicable tax treaty, Korean tax law requires you (or your agent) to submit an application (for reduced withholding tax rate, “application for entitlement to reduced tax rate,” and in the case of exemptions from withholding tax, “application for tax exemption,” along with a certificate of your tax residency issued by a competent authority of your country of tax residence, subject to certain exceptions) as the beneficial owner of such Korean source income (“BO application”). For example, a U.S. resident would be required to provide Form 6166 as a certificate of tax residency together with the application for entitlement to reduced tax rate or the application for tax exemption. Such application should be submitted to the withholding agent prior to the payment date of the relevant income. Subject to certain exceptions, where the relevant income is paid to an overseas investment vehicle (which is not the beneficial owner of such income) (“OIV”), a beneficial owner claiming the benefit of an applicable tax treaty with respect to such income must submit its BO application to such OIV, which must submit an OIV report and a schedule of beneficial owners to the withholding agent prior to the payment date of such income. In the case of a tax exemption application, the withholding agent is required to submit such application (together with the applicable OIV report in the case of income paid to an OIV) to the relevant district tax office by the ninth day of the month following the date of the payment of such income.

185

Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax

If you die while holding an ADS or donate an ADS, it is unclear whether, for Korean inheritance and gift tax purposes, you will be treated as the owner of the common shares underlying the ADSs. If the tax authority interprets depositary receipts as the underlying share certificates, you may be treated as the owner of the common shares and your heir or the donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance or gift tax presently at the rate of 10% to 50%, provided that the value of the ADSs or the common shares is greater than a specified amount.

If you die while holding a common share or donate a common share, your heir or donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance or gift tax at the same rate as indicated above.

At present, Korea has not entered into any tax treaty relating to inheritance or gift taxes.

Securities Transaction Tax

If you transfer our common shares on the Korea Exchange, you will be subject to securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.15% and an agriculture and fishery special surtax at the rate of 0.15% of the sale price of the common shares. If your transfer of the common shares is not made on the Korea Exchange, subject to certain exceptions, you will be subject to securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.5% and will not be subject to an agriculture and fishery special surtax.

Under the Securities Transaction Tax Law, depositary receipts (such as American depositary receipts) constitute share certificates subject to the securities transaction tax. However, the transfer of depositary receipts listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market, or other qualified foreign exchanges is exempt from the securities transaction tax.

In principle, the securities transaction tax, if applicable, must be paid by the transferor of the common shares or ADSs. When the transfer is effected through a securities settlement company, such settlement company is generally required to withhold and pay the tax to the tax authorities. When such transfer is made through a financial investment company only, such financial investment company is required to withhold and pay the tax. Where the transfer is effected by anon-resident without a permanent establishment in Korea, other than through a securities settlement company or a financial investment company, the transferee is required to withhold the securities transaction tax.

Non-reporting orunder-reporting of securities transaction tax will generally result in penalties equal to 20% to 60% of thenon-reported tax amount or 10% to 60% ofunder-reported tax amount. Also, a failure to timely pay securities transaction tax will result in a penalty equal to 10.95% per annum of the due but unpaid tax amount. The penalties are imposed on the party responsible for paying the securities transaction tax or, if such tax is required to be withheld, on the party that has the obligation to withhold.

Item 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Overview

As a financial services provider, we are exposed to various risks related to our lending and trading businesses, our funding activities and our operating environment, principally through Kookmin Bank, our banking subsidiary. Our goal in risk management is to ensure that we identify, measure, monitor and control the various risks that arise, and that our organization adheres strictly to the policies and procedures which we establish to address these risks. Under our internal regulations pertaining to our consolidated capital adequacy ratio and internal standards for risk appetite and internal capital under Basel III, we identify the following eight separate categories of risk inherent in our business activities: credit risk, market risk, operational risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit concentration risk, reputation risk and strategic risk. Of these, the principal risks to which we are exposed are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk, and we strive to manage these and other risks within acceptable limits.

Organization

We have amulti-tiered risk management governance structure. Our Risk Management Committee is ultimately responsible forgroup-wide risk management, and directs our various subordinate risk management entities. The Risk Management Council coordinates the implementation of directives set forth by the Risk Management Committee with the relevant risk management units of our subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Risk Management Committee of each of our subsidiaries, based on the Risk Management Committee’s directives, determines risk management strategies and implements risk management policies and guidelines for such subsidiary and directs the activities of the subsidiary’s risk management units within the risk guidelines set at the group level. Each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee generally receives inputs from the respective risk management units of such subsidiary, which report to the Risk Management Committee.

The following chart sets out our risk management governance structure as of the date of this annual report:

187

Risk Management Committee

Our Risk Management Committee is aboard-level committee that is responsible for overseeing all risks and advising the board of directors with respect to riskmanagement-related issues. The committee consists of onenon-standing director and threenon-executive directors (one of whom serves as the chairman of the committee), and convenes on a quarterly basis. Its major roles include:

• establishing risk management strategies in accordance with the directives of the board of directors;

• determining our target risk appetite;

• allocating risk capital to each subsidiary and approving our subsidiaries’ risk limits; and

• reviewing the level of risks we are exposed to and the appropriateness of our risk management policies, systems and operations.

Risk Management Council

Our Risk Management Council is responsible for coordinating with the risk management units of our subsidiaries to ensure that they implement the policies, guidelines and limits established by the Risk Management Committee. The Risk Management Council is comprised of our chief risk management officer and the chief risk management officers of all of our subsidiaries. It operates independently from all business units and convenes on a quarterly basis. Its responsibilities include:

• analyzing our risk status by using information provided by oursubsidiary-level risk management units;

• adjusting the integrated risk capital allocation plan and risk limits for each of our subsidiaries; and

• coordinating issues relating to thegroup-wide integration of our risk management functions.

Subsidiary Risk Management Committees

Each of our subsidiaries has delegated risk management authority to its Subsidiary Risk Management Committee. Each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee measures and monitors the various risks faced by the relevant subsidiary and reports to that subsidiary’s board of directors regarding decisions that it makes on risk management issues. It also makes certain strategicrisk-related decisions regarding the operations of the relevant subsidiary, such as setting total exposure limits, allocating credit risk limits and marketrisk-related limits and determining which market risk derivatives instruments the subsidiary can trade. The major activities of each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee include:

• determining and monitoring risk policies, guidelines, limits and tolerance levels and the level of subsidiary risk in accordance with group policy;

• reviewing and analyzing the subsidiary’s risk profile;

• setting limits for and adjusting the risk capital allocation plan and risk levels for each business unit within the subsidiary; and

• monitoring compliance with ourgroup-wide risk management policies and practices at the business unit and subsidiary level.

Each Subsidiary Risk Management Committee is comprised of the subsidiary’s chief executive officer and thenon-executive directors on its board of directors.

188

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the risk of expected and unexpected losses in the event of borrower or counterparty defaults. Credit risk management aims to improve asset quality and generate stable profits while reducing risk through diversified and balanced loan portfolios. We determine the creditworthiness of each type of borrower or counterparty through reviews conducted by our credit experts and through our credit rating systems, and we set a credit limit for each borrower or counterparty.

We assess and manage all credit exposures. We measure expected losses and internal capital on assets (whetheron- oroff-balance sheet) that are subject to credit risk management and use expected losses and internal capital as management indicators. We manage credit risk by allocating credit risk internal capital limits. In addition, we control credit concentration risk exposure by applying and managing total exposure limits to prevent excessive risk concentration to particular industries or borrowers. Credit exposures that we assess and manage include loans to borrowers and counterparties, investments in securities, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, derivatives and commitments. Our risk appetite, which is the ratio of our required internal capital to our estimated available book capital, is approved by the Risk Management Committee once a year. Thereafter, we calculate internal capital every month for all of our subsidiaries and on a holding company level based on attributed internal capital in accordance with the risk appetite as approved by the Risk Management Committee, and measure and report profiles of credit risk on a holding company level and by subsidiary regularly to our senior management, including our Risk Management Committee.

We use expected default rates and recovery rates to determine the expected loss rate of a borrower or counterparty. We use the expected loss rate to make credit related decisions, including pricing, loan approval and establishment of standards to be followed at each level of decision making. These rates are calculated using information gathered from our internal database. With respect to large corporate borrowers, we also use information provided by external credit rating services to calculate default rates and recovery rates.

Our credit risk management processes include:

• establishing credit policy;

• credit evaluation and approval;

• industry assessment;

• total exposure management;

• collateral evaluation and monitoring;

• credit risk assessment;

• early warning and credit review; and

• post-credit extension monitoring.

Credit Evaluation

Kookmin Bank evaluates the ability of all loan applicants to repay their debts before it approves any loans, except for loans fully guaranteed by letters of guarantee issued by the Credit Guarantee Fund and the Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, for loans fully secured by deposits and for other loans similarly guaranteed or secured. Kookmin Bank assigns each borrower or guarantor a credit rating based on the judgment of its experts or scores calculated using the appropriate credit rating system. Factors that Kookmin Bank considers in assigning credit ratings include both financial factors andnon-financial factors, such as its perception of a borrower’s reliability, management and operational risk and risk relating to the borrower’s industry. The credit rating process differs according to the type, size and characteristics of a borrower.

189

Kookmin Bank uses its internally developed credit rating systems to rate potential borrowers. As the characteristics of each customer segment differ, Kookmin Bank uses several credit rating systems for its customers. The nature of the credit rating system used for a particular borrower depends on whether the borrower is an individual, a “small office/home office” customer, asmall- andmedium-sized enterprise or a large company. For large companies and small- andmedium-sized enterprises, Kookmin Bank has 17 credit ratings ranging from AAA to D for risk management purposes. For retail customers, it has 13 credit ratings ranging from grade 1 to grade 13.

Based on the credit rating of a borrower, Kookmin Bank applies different credit policies, which affect factors such as credit limit, loan period, loan pricing, loan classification and provisioning. Kookmin Bank also uses these credit ratings in evaluating itsbank-wide risk management strategy. Factors Kookmin Bank considers in making this evaluation include the profitability of each company or transaction, performance of each business unit and portfolio management. Kookmin Bank monitors the credit status of borrowers and collect information to adjust its ratings appropriately. If Kookmin Bank changes a borrower’s credit rating, it will also change the credit policies relating to that borrower and may also change the policies underlying its loan portfolio.

Retail Loan Approval Process

Mortgage Loans and Secured Retail Loans. Branch staff employees of Kookmin Bank forward loan applications to processing centers and Kookmin Bank’s processing center staff reviews mortgage loans and retail loans secured by real estate or guarantees. However, in the case of loans secured by deposits with Kookmin Bank, its branch staff approves such loans. Kookmin Bank makes lending decisions based on its assessment of the value of the collateral, debt service capability and the borrower’s score generated from its credit scoring systems.

For mortgage loans and loans secured by real estate, Kookmin Bank evaluates the value of the real estate offered as collateral using a database it has developed that contains information about real estate values throughout Korea. Kookmin Bank also uses information from a third party provider about the real estate market in Korea, which gives itup-to-date market value information for Korean real estate. In addition, Kookmin Bank’s processing center staff employees review the value of real estate provided by the evaluation system to ensure there are no significant discrepancies. Kookmin Bank bases decisions regarding the approval of such loans primarily on the results of its credit scoring systems.

For loans secured by deposits, Kookmin Bank will generally grant loans up to 95%of the deposit amount if it holds the deposit.

With respect to mortgage loans and secured retail loans, Kookmin Bank screens customers based on various criteria that indicate whether the customer may have deteriorating credit using internal information and rating information from credit bureaus. Kookmin Bank also evaluates debt service capability for eligible customers pursuant to certain checklist items, such as profession, annual income, credit card overdue information, transaction history (with both it and other financial institutions) and other relevant credit information.

Kookmin Bank generally decides whether to evaluate a loan application within three to five days after recording the relevant information in its credit scoring systems.

Unsecured Retail Loans. Kookmin Bank reviews applications for unsecured retail loans in accordance with its credit scoring systems. These automated systems evaluate loan applications and determine an appropriate pricing for the loan. The major benefits of using a credit scoring system are that it yields uniform results regardless of the user and that it can be used effectively by employees who do not necessarily have extensive experience in credit evaluation. The staff of Kookmin Bank’s processing centers reviews the results of the credit scoring system based on information input by its branch staff and, if approved, issues the loan.

190

Kookmin Bank’s credit scoring systems take into account factors including borrower’s income, assets, profession, transaction history (with both it and other financial institutions) and other relevant credit information. The systems rank each borrower in an appropriate grade, and that grade is used as a factor in deciding whether to approve loans as well as to determine loan amounts. Kookmin Bank generally bases its decisions on the results of its credit scoring systems to evaluate applications.

Corporate Loan Approval Process

We approve corporate loans at different levels of our organization depending on the size and type of the loan, the credit risk level assessed by the credit rating system, whether the loan is secured by collateral and, if secured, the value of the collateral. The lowest level of authority is the branch staff employee of Kookmin Bank, who can approve small loans and loans that have the lowest range of credit risk. Larger loans and loans with higher credit risk are approved by higher levels of authority depending on where they fall in a matrix of loan size and credit risk. Depending on the size and terms of any particular loan or the credit risk relating to a particular borrower, more than one entity may review the application, although generally loan applications are reviewed only by the entity having corresponding authority to approve the loan.

Kookmin Bank evaluates all of its corporate borrowers by using credit rating systems, except for applicants whose borrowings are fully secured by deposits or applicants who have obtainedthird-party guarantees from the government or certain other very highly rated guarantors. See “—Credit Evaluation.”

Forowner-operated enterprises (which we refer to as SOHOs) with total outstanding loans of ￦1 billion or less, Kookmin Bank has put in place a retail SOHO credit rating system, which adopts simplified credit evaluation modeling procedures and has the same structure and process as the credit rating system for individual retail borrowers. This system consists of a scoring model and a preliminary examination checklist. The scoring model analyzes information with respect to the customer’s personal information and bank transaction history, as well as information from credit bureaus. The preliminary examination checklist is based on information regarding the customer’s credit delinquencies and history ofwrite-offs. This system classifies customers into 13 possible credit ratings.

For SOHOs with total outstanding loans of more than ￦1 billion, Kookmin Bank has put in place a separate credit rating system known as “SOHO CRS.” For othersmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, Kookmin Bank has put in place a similar credit rating system known as CRS. For large corporations, Kookmin Bank has put in place a similar credit rating system known as LCRS. For financial institutions, certainnon-profit organizations and public institutions, Kookmin Bank has put in place a credit rating system known as FNP CRS. The SOHO CRS, the CRS, the LCRS and the FNP CRS models consist of the following three parts:

• Financial Model. The financial model uses the borrower’s current status and trend of financial ratios calculated using its financial statements. The financial model classifies potential borrowers into one of three size categories and one of five types of industry. This model incorporates logistic regression and statistical methods, which use financial ratios such as stability ratio, cash flow ratio, profitability ratio and turnover ratio to make credit determinations.

• Non-financial Model.Thenon-financial model uses various qualitative and quantitative factors, such as future repayment capability, market prospects, management capability and business capability, to evaluate borrowers. The factors that are evaluated and the weighting given to each factor vary by type of industry and size of company.

• Default Signal Check Model.The default signal check model checks factors that have low frequency of occurrence but are highly likely to lead to a default in the event of an occurrence. The results of the default signal check model may be used to cap a borrower’s credit grade.

In addition to the three parts outlined above, the SOHO CRS also includes a “CEO Evaluation Model,” which analyzes information with respect to personal information and bank transaction history of the individual owner of such SOHO.

191

We often refer to corporate information gathered or ratings assigned by external credit rating agencies, such as Korea Information Service, National Information & Credit Evaluation Inc. and Korea Management Consulting & Credit Rating Corporation, in order to improve the accuracy of our credit ratings.

Credit Card Approval Process

We make decisions on all credit card approvals based on the Financial Supervisory Service standard of review for payment ability (such as the occupation and income of the applicant), as well as a combination of KB Kookmin Card’s internal application scoring system and a credit scoring system developed by independent credit bureaus.

KB Kookmin Card’s application scoring system reflects various credit information, including basic customer information (such as credit history), transaction history with it, if any, delinquency and transaction history with other card companies and financial institutions and credit information provided by the Korea Federation of Banks and other credit bureaus. KB Kookmin Card also considers repayment ability, total assets, total outstanding debts and the length of the applicant’s relationship, if any, and past contribution to our profitability, if any.

The credit scoring system developed by credit bureaus, reflects various sources of information regarding the credit risk of customers, including delinquency and transaction history with other credit card companies and financial institutions.

On the basis of the standard of review for payment ability and the combination of the scores from our application scoring system and the credit scoring system developed by independent credit bureaus, KB Kookmin Card establishes, among other things, the term of any new approvals, initial limits and differentiation of fee rates with respect to its credit cards. KB Kookmin Card’s systems allow it to differentiate applicants into groups that receive immediate credit card approval or rejection, or that may require it to further investigate that applicant’s credit qualifications. The initial limits of new applicants are based on their estimated disposable income, which is based on their occupation and the value of their personal assets. KB Kookmin Card applies its fee rates to applicants differently according to risk premium and profitability.

Total Exposure Management

We establish and manage total exposure limits for corporations,chaebols and industries, as well as certainsmall- andmedium-sized enterprises, in order to optimize the use of credit availability and avoid excessive risk concentration. We establish total exposure limits for large corporations to which we have exposures (in the form of securities or loans) of over ￦30 billion,small- andmedium-sized enterprises to which we have exposures (in the form of securities or loans) of over ￦20 billion andchaebols designated by the Financial Supervisory Service or by Kookmin Bank, by reviewing factors such as their industry, size, cash flows, financial ratios and credit ratings, while establishing exposure limits for industries by peer group, as defined by us, by reviewing the sales growth rate and risk concentration for each industry. These total exposure limits are set following approval by Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council after review by the Credit Risk Management Subcommittee.

Kookmin Bank’s maximum exposure limit is within 25% of its Tier I and Tier II capital for a singlechaebol, and within 10% of its Tier I and Tier II capital for an individual large corporation.

We manage and control exposure limits on a daily basis. The principal system that we use for this purpose is the Total Exposure Management System. This system allows us to monitor and control our total exposure to large corporations,chaebols and industries. We monitor our exposure to large corporations to which we have an exposure of ￦30 billion or more, individual corporations to which we have an exposure of more than ￦20 billion, and also our exposure to 64chaebols, which comprise the 39 largest highly-indebted business groups amongchaebols in Korea designated as such by the Financial Supervisory Service based on their

192

outstanding exposures as well as 25chaebols selected for monitoring by the Head of Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Group. We also monitor our exposure to industries by peer groups. Our Total Exposure Management System integrates all of ourcredit-related risk including credit extended by our overseas branches and affiliates. The assets subject to the system include allWon-denominated and foreigncurrency-denominated loans, all assets in trust accounts except specified money trusts, guarantees,trade-related credits, commercial paper, corporate bonds and other securities and derivatives.

Collateral Evaluation and Monitoring System

Kookmin Bank uses the Collateral Evaluation and Monitoring System to manage the liquidation value of collateral it holds. The Collateral Evaluation and Monitoring System is a computerized collateral management system that can be accessed from Kookmin Bank’s headquarters and its branches. Using this system, Kookmin Bank can more accurately assess the actual liquidation value of collateral, determine the recovery rate on its loans and use this information in setting its credit risk management and loan policies. Kookmin Bank can monitor the value of all the collateral a borrower provides and the value of that collateral based on its liquidation value. When appraising the value of real estate collateral, which makes up the largest part of Kookmin Bank’s collateral, Kookmin Bank consults a regularly updated database provided by a third party that tracks the prices at which various types of real estate in various regions of Korea are sold. Kookmin Bank appraises the value of collateral when it makes a loan, when the loan is due for renewal and when events occur that may change the value of the collateral.

Credit Risk Management and Monitoring

Kookmin Bank’s Credit Risk Department manages and regulates our loan portfolio policies. It also analyzes and monitors our loan portfolios and monitors our compliance with the applicable limits for credit risk. Moreover, it separately manageshigh-risk products, such as real estate project financing loans andover-the-counter derivative products, by setting appropriate limits.

Credit Review

Kookmin Bank’s credit review function is independent of the business groups which manage our assets. Its Credit Review Department:

• reviews internal credit regulations, policies and systems;

• analyzes the credit status of selected loan assets and verifies the appropriateness of the credit evaluations/approvals made by branches and headquarters; and

• evaluates the corporate credit risk of potentially insolvent companies.

More specifically, Kookmin Bank’s Credit Review Department continuously reviews the financial condition of selected borrowers with respect to their current debt, collateral, business, transactions with related parties and debt service capability. Based on such review, Kookmin Bank may adjust the borrower’s credit rating, lending policy or asset quality classification of the loan provided to the borrower, depending on the applicable circumstances. Kookmin Bank also regularly reviews other aspects of the lending process, including industries and regions in which its borrowers operate and the quality of its domestic and overseas assets. Kookmin Bank’s industry reviews focus on growth, stability, competition and ability to adapt to a changing environment. Based on the results of a particular industry review, Kookmin Bank may revise the total exposure limit assigned to that industry and lending policy for each company within that industry. When a review takes place, Kookmin Bank may adjust not only credit ratings of its borrowers based on a variety of factors, but also asset quality classification, credit limits and applied interest rates or its credit policies. Credit review results are reported to Kookmin Bank’s chief risk officer and its Risk Management Committee on a quarterly basis.

193

Kookmin Bank’s Credit Review Department also conductson-site reviews of selected branches that are experiencing increasing delinquency ratios and bad debts. During these visits Kookmin Bank examines the loan processes and recommends improvement plans and appropriatefollow-up measures.

Also, based on guidelines provided by the Financial Supervisory Service to all Korean banks, Kookmin Bank operates a corporate credit risk assessment program to facilitate the identification of weak companies and possible commencement of corporate restructuring. Through this program, Kookmin Bank, together with other banks, is able to detect symptoms of financially troubled companies at an early stage, assess related credit risk and support the normalization of companies that are likely to turnaround through a workout process, or seek to liquidate those companies that are not likely to recover.

Kookmin Bank’s Credit Review Department also analyzes issues related to credit risk and provides information necessary for the formulation of effective credit policies and strategies and for effective credit risk management.

Market Risk Management

The major risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk on debt instruments and interest bearing securities and, to a lesser extent, stock price risk and foreign exchange risk. The financial instruments that expose us to these risks are securities and financial derivatives. We are not exposed to commodity risk, the other recognized form of market risk, as we currently do not engage in commodities trading. We are also exposed to interest rate risk and liquidity risk in Kookmin Bank’s banking book. We divide market risk into risks arising from trading activities and risks arising fromnon-trading activities.

Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council establishes overall market risk management principles. It has delegated the responsibility for the market risk management for trading activities to the Market Risk Management Subcommittee of Kookmin Bank, which is chaired by Kookmin Bank’s chief risk officer. This subcommittee meets on a regular basis each month and as required to respond to developments in the market and the economy. Based on the policies approved by Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council, the Market Risk Management Subcommittee reviews and approves reports as required that include trading profits and losses, position reports, limit utilization, sensitivity analysis and VaR results for our trading activities.

Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council is responsible for interest rate and liquidity risk management for itsnon-trading activities. The council meets on a regular basis and as required to respond to developments in the market and the economy. Members of the Risk Management Council, acting through Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Department, review Kookmin Bank’s interest rate and liquidity gap position monthly, as well as the business profile and its impact on asset and liability management.

To ensure adequate interest rate and liquidity risk management, we have assigned the responsibilities for our asset and liability risk management to Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Department in Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Group, which monitors and reviews the asset and liability operating procedures and activities of Kookmin Bank’s Financial Planning Department, and independently reports to the management on the related issues.

Market Risk Management for Trading Activities

Our trading activities consist of:

• trading activities for our own account to realizeshort-term trading profits inWon-denominated debt and equities markets and foreign exchange markets based on ourshort-term forecast of changes in the market situation; and

• trading activities involving derivatives, such as swaps, forwards, futures and option transactions, to realize profits primarily from selling derivative products to our customers and to hedge market risk

194

incurred from those activities. In addition, certain derivative products that we use to hedge our own market risk are classified as trading activities as they do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under IFRS. We believe, however, that certain of these products are effective as economic hedges.

We use derivative instruments to hedge our market risk and, to a limited extent, to make profits by trading derivative products within acceptable risk limits. The principal objective of our hedging strategy is to manage our market risk within established limits. We use the following hedging instruments to manage relevant risks:

• to hedge interest rate risk arising from its trading activities, the Trading/Capital Markets Department of Kookmin Bank occasionally uses interest rate futures (Korea Treasury Bond Futures) and interest rate swaps;

• to hedge stock price risk arising from its trading activities, the Trading/Capital Markets Department of Kookmin Bank selectively uses stock index futures;

• to hedge interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk arising from our foreigncurrency-denominated asset and liability positions as well as our trading activities, the Treasury Unit within the Capital Markets Department of Kookmin Bank uses interest rate swaps,cross-currency interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forwards and futures,Euro-dollar futures and currency options; and

• to change the interest rate characteristics of certain assets and liabilities after the original investment or funding, we use swaps. For example, depending on the market situation, we may choose to obtain fixed rate funding instead of floating rate funding if we believe that the terms are more favorable, which we can achieve by entering into interest rate swaps.

We generally manage our market risk at the portfolio level. To control our exposure to market risk, we use internal capital limits set by Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Committee for Kookmin Bank and at the group level within Kookmin Bank, VaR, position and stop loss limits set by Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council for Kookmin Bank and at the group level within Kookmin Bank, and VaR, position, stop loss and sensitivity limits (PVBP, Delta, Gamma, Vega) set by Kookmin Bank’s Market Risk Management Subcommittee at the department level within Kookmin Bank. We prepared our risk control and management guidelines for derivative trading based on the regulations and guidelines promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Service.

In addition, we have implemented internal processes which include a number of key controls designed to ensure that fair value is measured appropriately, particularly where a fair value model is internally developed and used to price a significant product. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results—Critical Accounting Policies—Valuation of Financial Instruments” and Notes 3.3 and 6 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. For example, each year, Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Department reviews the existing pricing and valuation models, with a focus on their underlying modeling assumptions and restrictions, to assess the appropriateness of their continued use. In consultation with Kookmin Bank’s Trading Department, the Risk Management Department recommends potential valuation models to Kookmin Bank’s Fair Value Evaluation Committee. Upon approval by Kookmin Bank’s Fair Value Evaluation Committee, the selected valuation models are reported to its Market Risk Management Subcommittee.

We monitor market risk arising from trading activities of our business groups and departments. The market risk measurement model we use for both ourWon-denominated trading operations and foreigncurrency-denominated trading operations is implemented through our integrated market risk management system called Adaptiv, which enables us to generate consistent VaR numbers for all trading activities.

Value at Risk analysis.We use VaR to measure market risk. VaR is a statistically estimated maximum amount of loss that could occur over a given period of time at a given level of confidence. VaR is a commonly used market risk management technique. However, this approach does have some shortcomings. VaR estimates possible losses over a certain period at a particular confidence level using past market movement data. Past market movement, however, is not necessarily a good indicator of future events, as there may be conditions and

195

circumstances in the future that the model does not anticipate. As a result, the timing and magnitude of the actual losses can be different depending on the assumptions made at the time of calculation. In addition, the time periods used for the model, generally one or ten days, are assumed to be a sufficient holding period before liquidating the relevant underlying positions. If these holding periods are not sufficient, or too long, the VaR results may understate or overstate the potential loss. Different VaR methodologies and distributional assumptions could produce a materially different VaR. VaR is most appropriate as a risk measure for trading positions in liquid capital markets and will understate the risk associated with severe events, such as a period of extreme illiquidity.

We use a 99% single tail confidence level to measure VaR, which means the actual amount of loss may exceed the VaR, on average, once out of 100 business days. Until 2011, we used the“variance-covariance method” or parametric VaR (“PVaR”) methodology to measure our daily VaR, which took into account the diversification effects among different risk categories as well as within the same risk category. In 2012, we received authorization from the Financial Services Commission to use a historical simulation VaR (“HSVaR”) methodology, which we believe to be more accurate and responsive in reflecting market volatilities, to measure market risk. Ourten-day HSVaR method, which is computed using a full valuation and is computationally intensive, uses an archive of historic price data and the VaR for a portfolio is estimated by creating a hypothetical time series of returns on that portfolio, obtained by running the portfolio through actualten-day historical data and computing the changes that would have occurred in eachten-day period.

The following table shows the volume and types of positions held by Kookmin Bank for which the VaR method is used to measure market risk as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Standardized Method. Market risk for positions not measured by VaR are measured using the standardized method for measuring marketrisk-based required equity capital specified by the Financial Supervisory Service, which takes into account certain risk factors.Under the standardized method, the required equity capital is measured using therisk-weighted values for each risk factor. The method used to measure the marketrisk-based required equity capital for each risk factor is as follows:

• Interest rate risk:

• General market risk: General market risk relates to the risk of losses from macroscopic events which could have an impact on interest rates, stock prices, exchange rates, and market prices of general commodities. General market interest rate risk of a debt security is calculated on its net position, taking into consideration the remaining maturity and coupon rate.

197

• Specific risk: Specific risk relates to the risk of loss from changes in credit risk of issuers of debt securities or equities, excluding changes in general market prices. Specific interest rate risk of a debt security is measured by multiplying the interest rate position appraised based on the market price of such security by therisk-weighted value applicable to the type of debt security, credit rating and the remaining maturity.

• Equity risk: General and specific equity risk are calculated by multiplying the bought or sold position by the relevantrisk-weighted values.

• Foreign exchange risk: Foreign exchange risk is measured by multiplying the larger of the absolute values among the net bought or sold positions of each currency by the relevantrisk-weighted values.

• Option risk: Option risk is measured using the delta, gamma and vega of the option.

The standardized method is used to measure the market risk of the positions for which the Financial Supervisory Service has not approved the use of the VaR method. In addition, we use the standardized method for positions which are held by certain subsidiaries or for which measuring VaR is difficult due to the lack of daily position data. See Note 4.4.2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

The following table shows the volume and types of instruments held by Kookmin Bank for which the standardized method is used to measure its required equity capital as of December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

⁽¹⁾  In the first half of 2015, Kookmin Bank received approval from the Financial Supervisory Service to use its internal VaR model, in lieu of the standardized method, to measure the market risk of certain instruments held by Kookmin Bank, including30-year government bonds held by Kookmin Bank, as well as positions held by certain subsidiaries of Kookmin Bank, including Kookmin Bank (China) Ltd.

Back-Testing. We conduct back testing on a daily basis to validate the adequacy of our market risk model. In back testing, we compare both the actual and hypothetical profit and loss with the VaR calculations and analyze any results that fall outside our predetermined confidence interval of 99%. The number of times the actual changes in fair values, earnings or cash flows from the market risk sensitive instruments exceeded the VaR amounts in 2014, 2015 and 2016 was 1, 6 and 4, respectively.

Stress testing. In addition to VaR, which assumes normal market situations, we use stress testing to assess our market risk exposure to abnormal market fluctuations. Abnormal market fluctuations include significant declines in the stock market and significant increases in the general level of interest rates. This is an important way to supplement VaR, as VaR is a statistical expression of possible loss under a given confidence level and holding period. It does not cover potential loss if the market moves in a manner that is outside our normal expectations. Stress testing projects the anticipated change in value of holding positions under certain scenarios assuming that no action is taken during a stress event to change the risk profile of a portfolio. According to Kookmin Bank’s stress testing, we estimate that as of December 31, 2016, Kookmin Bank’s trading portfolio could have lost ￦291 billion for an assumedshort-term extreme decline of approximately 25% in the equity market and an approximate 50 basis point increase in the Korean treasury bond rates under an abnormal stress environment.

We monitor the impact of market turmoil or any abnormality by conducting stress tests and confirming that the results are within our market risk limits. If the impact is large, Kookmin Bank’s chief risk officer may request that our portfolio be restructured or other appropriate action be taken.

Interest Risk

Interest risk from trading activities arises mainly from our trading ofWon-denominated debt securities. Our trading strategy is to benefit fromshort-term movements in the prices of debt securities arising from changes in interest rates. As our trading accounts aremarked-to-market daily, we manage the interest risk related to our trading accounts using marketvalue-based tools such as VaR and sensitivity analysis. As of December 31, 2016, the VaR of Kookmin Bank’s interest risk from trading was ￦14.9 billion and the weighted average duration, or weighted average maturity, of itsWon-denominated debt securities at fair value through profit or loss was approximately 2.2 years.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises because we have assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than Won, as well asoff-balance sheet items such as foreign exchange forwards and currency swaps. Our assets

199

and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese Yen, Euro, Kazakhstan Tenge and Chinese Renminbi have typically accounted for the majority of our foreign currency assets and liabilities.

The difference between our foreign currency assets and liabilities is offset against forward foreign exchange positions, currency options and currency swaps to obtain our net foreign currency open position. Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council and Market Risk Management Subcommittee oversee Kookmin Bank’s foreign exchange exposure for both trading andnon-trading purposes by establishing a limit for this net foreign currency open position, together with stop loss limits. VaR limits are established on a combined basis for our domestic operations and foreign branches.

The following table shows Kookmin Bank’snon-consolidated net open positions at the end of 2014, 2015 and 2016. Positive amounts represent long positions and negative amounts represent short positions. The net open positions held by subsidiaries other than Kookmin Bank are not significant.

Equity Price Risk

Equity price risk results from our equity derivatives trading portfolio in Won since we do not have any trading exposure to shares denominated in foreign currencies other than foreign equity index futures.

The equity derivatives trading portfolio in Won consists ofexchange-traded stocks and equity derivatives under strict limits on diversification as well as position limits and stop loss limits.

Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council and Market Risk Management Subcommittee set annual and monthly stop loss limits that are monitored by Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Department. In order to ensure timely action, the stop loss limit of individual securities is monitored by the relevant middle office.

As of December 31, 2016, Kookmin Bank’s equity trading position was ￦34 billion.

Derivative Market Risk

Our derivative trading includes interest rate andcross-currency swaps, foreign exchange forwards, stock index and interest rate futures and currency options. These activities consist primarily of the following:

• sales oftailor-made derivative products that meet various needs of our corporate customers and related transactions to reduce our exposure resulting from those sales;

• taking positions in limited cases when we expectshort-swing profits based on our market forecasts; and

• trading to hedge our interest rate and foreign currency risk exposure as described above.

200

Market risk from trading derivatives is not significant since our derivative trading activities are primarily driven by customer deals with very limited open trading positions.

Market Risk Management forNon-Trading Activities

Interest Rate Risk

Our principal market risk fromnon-trading activities is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises due to mismatches in the maturities orre-pricing periods of theserate-sensitive assets and liabilities. We measure interest rate risk for Won and foreign currency assets and liabilities in our bank accounts (including derivatives) and our principal guaranteed trust accounts. Most of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are denominated in Won and our foreigncurrency-denominated assets and liabilities are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars.

Our principal interest rate risk management objectives are to generate stable net interest revenues and to protect our asset value against interest rate fluctuations. We principally manage this risk for ournon-trading activities by analyzing and managing maturity and duration gaps between our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. In addition, we use hedging instruments for interest rate risk management for ournon-trading assets and liabilities.

Interest rate gap analysis measures expected changes in net interest revenues by calculating the difference in the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at each maturity and interest resetting date. We perform interest rate gap analysis forWon-denominated and foreigncurrency-denominated assets and trust assets on a monthly basis or more frequently when deemed necessary.

Interest Rate Gap Analysis.We perform interest rate gap analysis based on interest rate repricing maturities of assets and liabilities. However, for some of our assets and liabilities with either no maturities or unique characteristics, we use or assume certain maturities, including the following examples:

• With respect to asset maturities, we assume remaining maturities of primerate-linked loans with remaining maturities of over one year to be one year and use the actual maturities for primerate-linked loans with remaining maturities of less than one year.

• With respect to liability maturities, we use last 36 months’ average balance to segregate“non-core” and “core” demand deposits. We assume“non-core” demand deposits to have remaining maturities of one month or less, and we assume “core” demand deposits to have remaining maturities between one month and five years.

Duration Gap Analysis. We also perform duration gap analysis to measure and manage interest rate risk. Duration gap analysis is a morelong-term risk indicator than interest rate gap analysis, as interest rate gap analysis focuses more on accounting income as opposed to the market value of the assets and liabilities. We emphasize duration gap analysis because, in the long run, our principal concern with respect to interest rate fluctuations is the net asset value rather than net interest revenue changes. In 2016, ourWon-denominated asset and liability duration gap was positive and it moved between (+)0.043 years and (+)0.104 years. Accordingly, our net asset value would have declined (or increased) between ￦108 billion and ￦269 billion if interest rates had decreased (or increased) by one percentage point.

For duration gap analysis we use or assume the same maturities for different assets and liabilities that we use or assume for our interest rate gap analysis.

The following table shows Kookmin Bank’s duration gaps and net asset value changes when interest rates decrease by one percentage point as of the specified dates, on anon-consolidated basis.

We set interest rate risk limits using historical interest rate volatility of financial bonds and duration gaps with respect to expected asset and liability positions based on our annual business plans. The Risk Management Department in Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Group submits interest rate gap analysis reports, duration gap analysis reports and interest rate risk limit compliance reports monthly to Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Council and quarterly to Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Committee.

Interest Rate VaR Analysis. Interest rate VaR is the estimated maximum possible loss on netnon-trading assets due to unfavorable changes in interest rates. We calculate interest rate VaR based on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, excluding trading positions, at a 99.9% confidence level. In 2012, we changed our method of calculating the interest rate impact from the previous internal simulation method of applying probable interest rate scenarios to a historical simulation method which uses actual historical price, volatility and yield changes in comparison with the current position to generate hypothetical portfolios and calculate a distribution of position and portfolio market value changes. The previous internal simulation method used extreme values in applying hypothetical interest rates to each maturity period, which we believe may result in exaggerated interest rate VaR values. Accordingly, we believe that the change in our interest rate VaR methodology to a historical

203

simulation method will allow us to benefit from more sophisticated risk measurements using practical scenarios. Using the historical simulation method, Kookmin Bank’s interest rate VaR was ￦112 billion as of December 31, 2014, ￦95 billion as of December 31, 2015 and ￦76 billion as of December 31, 2016.See Note 4.4.3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We manage foreign exchange rate risk arising from ournon-trading operations together with such risks arising from our trading operations. See “—Market Risk Management for Trading Activities—Foreign Exchange Risk” above.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk is the risk of insolvency or loss due to a disparity between the inflow and outflow of funds resulting from, for example, maturity mismatches, obtaining funds at a high price or disposing of securities at an unfavorable price due to lack of available funds. We manage our liquidity in order to meet our financial liabilities from withdrawals of deposits, redemption of matured debentures and repayments at maturity of borrowed funds. We also require sufficient liquidity to fund loans, to extend other credits and to invest in securities. Our liquidity management goal is to meet all our liability repayments on time and fund all investment opportunities even under adverse conditions. To date, we have not experienced significant liquidity risk.

We maintain liquidity by holding sufficient quantities of assets that can be liquidated to meet actual or potential demands for funds from depositors and others. We also manage liquidity by ensuring that the excess of maturing liabilities over maturing assets in any period is kept to manageable levels relative to the amount of funds we believe we could raise by issuing securities. We seek to minimize our liquidity costs by managing our liquidity position on a daily basis and by limiting the amount of cash at any time that is not invested in interest earning assets or securities.

We maintain diverse sources of liquidity to facilitate flexibility in meeting our funding requirements. We fund our operations principally by accepting deposits from retail and corporate depositors, accessing the call loan market (ashort-term market for loans with maturities of less than 90 days), issuing debentures and borrowing from the Bank of Korea. We use the majority of funds we raise to extend loans or purchase securities. Generally, deposits are of shorter average maturity than loans or investments.

ForWon-denominated assets and liabilities, we manage liquidity using a cash flow structure based on holdingshort-term liabilities andlong-term assets. Generally, the average initial contract maturity of our newWon-denominated time deposits was less than one year, while during the same period most of our new loans and securities had maturities over one year.

We manage liquidity risk within the limits set on Won and foreign currency accounts in accordance with the regulations of the Financial Services Commission. The Financial Services Commission requires Korean banks, including Kookmin Bank, to maintain a liquidity coverage ratio of not less than 90% from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (compared to not less than 85% from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016), with such minimum liquidity coverage ratio to increase in increments of 5% per annum to 100% by 2019. The Financial Services Commission defines the liquidity coverage ratio as the ratio of highly liquid assets to total net cash outflows over a30-day period. The highly liquid assets and total net cash outflows included in the calculation of the liquid coverage ratio are determined in accordance with the “Standards for Calculation of Liquidity Coverage Ratio” under the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business. In addition, the Financial Services Commission requires Korean banks, including Kookmin Bank, to maintain a foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio of not less than 60% from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, with such minimum foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio to increase in increments of 10% per annum to 80% by 2019; provided, however, that the foreign currency liquidity ratio (defined as the ratio of foreign currency assets due within three

204

months to foreign currency liabilities due within three months) would apply if the amount of foreign currency assets and the ratio of foreign currency liabilities to total liabilities are less than the respective amount and ratio specified under the regulations of the Bank Act.

Kookmin Bank’s Asset Liability Management Department is responsible for daily liquidity management with respect to its Won and foreign currency exposure. It reports monthly plans for funding and operations to the Asset Liability Management Committee of Kookmin Bank, which discusses factors such as interest rate movements and maturity structures of its deposits, loans and securities and establishes strategies with respect to deposit and lending rates.

The following table shows Kookmin Bank’s liquidity coverage ratio and foreign currency liquidity ratio as of December 31, 2016 in accordance with Financial Services Commission regulations:

Operational Risk Management

Overall Status

There is no complete consensus on the definition of operational risk in the banking industry. We define operational risk broadly to include all financial andnon-financial risks, other than credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk, that may arise from our operations that could negatively impact our capital, including the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events as defined under Basel II. Our operational risk management objectives include not only satisfying regulatory requirements, but also providing internal support through the growth of a strong risk management culture, reinforcement of internal controls, improvement of work processes and provision of timely feedback to management members and staff throughout the group.

205

Each of our subsidiaries manages operational risks related to its own business, and we regularly monitor them. Kookmin Bank, our banking subsidiary, uses an operational risk management framework meeting the Basel II Advanced Measurement Approach, or AMA, under which Kookmin Bank:

• calculates its operational risk VaR on a quarterly basis using the “loss distribution approach VaR” and “scenario based VaR” methodology, and monitors operational risk in terms of Key Risk Indicators, or KRIs, using tolerance levels for each indicator;

• executes integrated compliance and operational risk Control Self Assessments, or CSAs, that enhance the effect on internal controls, which Kookmin Bank employees are able to access and use for process improvement;

• collects and analyzes internal and external loss data;

• conducts scenario analyses to evaluate exposure tohigh-severity events;

• manages certaininsurance-related activities relating to insurance strategies established to mitigate operational risk;

• examines operational risks arising in connection with the development of, changes in or discontinuance of products, policies or systems;

• uses a detailed business continuity plan covering all of its operations and locations to prepare against unexpected events, including analternateback-up site for use in disaster events as well as annualfull-scale testing of such site;

• refinesbank-wide operational risk policies and procedures;

• provides appropriate training and support to business line operational risk managers; and

• reports overall operational risk status to our senior management.

While Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Department advises relevant business units with respect to the review of and suggested improvements on related operational processes and procedures, each of Kookmin Bank’s relevant business units has primary responsibility for the management of its own operational risk. In addition, the Operational Risk Unit, which is part of Kookmin Bank’s Risk Management Department, monitorsbank-wide operational risk. Kookmin Bank also has business line operational risk managers in all of its subsidiaries, departments and branches who periodically conduct CSAs and monitor KRIs. For example, Kookmin Bank has developed KRIs relating to customer data protection, which are applied and monitored at all domestic branches and offices. In addition, in order to strengthen risk management of its overseas operations, Kookmin Bank designates expert auditors for overseas branches and conducts internal audits designed especially to check key risks identified for each overseas branch. Kookmin Bank has also established a risk CSA system for overseas branches, pursuant to which all employees (including locally hired staff) of such branches are required to perform a risk CSA on a quarterly basis. Furthermore, Kookmin Bank regularly monitors operational risks related to new businesses as well as existing operating processes and seeks to develop appropriate new KRIs and risk CSA measures on an ongoing basis. Through such methods, Kookmin Bank is able to ensure proper monitoring and measurement of operational risk in each of its business groups and overseas operations.

Internal Control

To monitor and control operational risks, we maintain a system of comprehensive policies and have put in place a control framework designed to provide a stable andwell-managed operational environment throughout our organization. We have in place regular staff rotation and a mandatory leave policy for employees in certain high-risk categories to safeguard against fraud and to check for weaknesses in internal controls. In addition, we maintain an external whistleblower “ombudsman” channel to encourage whistleblowing and voluntary reporting of fraudulent behavior.

206

Each of our subsidiaries establishes its own internal control system in accordance with thegroup-level internal control principles. Our Compliance Supporting Department is responsible for monitoring and advising our subsidiaries regarding their internal control systems. Our Audit Committee, which consists of fournon-executive directors, is an independent authority that evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of ourgroup-wide internal control systems and business processes and monitors our subsidiaries’ compliance with such systems and processes, as well as reviews the reliability of our financial statements to secure the transparency and stability of our management (including through the activities of our independent auditors). In particular, we have establishedgroup-wide internal guidelines with respect to our subsidiaries’ reporting requirements. Our subsidiaries review their operations and their level of compliance with internal control systems and business processes on a periodic basis and, as part of this process, they are required to report any problems discovered and any remedial actions taken to our chief compliance officer, who is responsible for reporting to our Audit Committee. Based on the results of these reports, or on an ad hoc basis in response to any problem or potential problem that it identifies, the Audit Committee may direct a subsidiary to conduct an audit of its operations or, if it chooses to do so, conduct its own audit of those operations. The Audit Committee interacts on a regular basis with our Audit Department, Compliance Supporting Department and our independent auditors. In carrying out these duties, the Audit Committee ultimately protects our property for the benefit of our shareholders, investors and customers by independently monitoring our management.

Our Audit Department supports our Audit Committee in monitoring our accounting and business operations and overseeing the management of our subsidiaries’ internal control systems by performing the following activities:

• general audits, which includefull-scale audits of the overall operations performed according to an annual audit plan, and sectional audits of selected operations; and

• special audits of troubled or weak operations, which are performed when our Audit Committee or executive officer responsible for audits deems it necessary or pursuant to requests by our board, executive officers or supervisory authorities, such as the Financial Supervisory Service.

The Financial Supervisory Service periodically conducts a general examination of our operations. It also performs specific audits on particular aspects of our operations, such as risk management, credit monitoring and liquidity, as the need arises.

Kookmin Bank’s Audit Department is the execution body for its audit committee and supports Kookmin Bank’s management objectives by auditing the operations of its branches using a risk analysis system and reviewing the operations of its headquarters and subsidiaries through the use of“risk-based audit” in accordance with the “business measurement process” audit methodology, which requires that the Audit Department evaluate the risk and process of its business units and concentrate its audit capacity with respect to high risk areas.

As a result of recent regulatory trends, Kookmin Bank’s Audit Department is continuing its efforts to establish an advanced audit system andvalue-added internal audit by introducingrisk-based audit techniques.

Our Compliance Supporting Department operates a compliance system to ensure that all of our employees comply with the relevant laws and regulations. This system’s main function is to establish and manage our compliance program, educate employees and management and improve our internal control process.

Legal Risk

We consider legal risk as a part of our operational risk. The uncertainty of the enforceability of the obligations of our customers and counterparties creates legal risk. Changes in laws and regulations could also adversely affect us. Legal risk is higher in new areas of business where the law is often untested in the courts, although legal risk can also increase in our traditional business to the extent that the legal and regulatory landscape in Korea is changing and many new laws and regulations governing the financial industry remain

207

untested. Our Compliance Supporting Department seeks to minimize legal risk by using stringent legal documentation, employing procedures designed to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and consulting legal advisers.

IT System Operational Risk

The integrity of our IT systems, and their ability to withstand potential catastrophic events, are crucial to our continuing operations. Accordingly, we are continuing to strengthen our disaster recovery capabilities. In order to minimize operational risks relating to our IT systems, we have implemented amulti-CPU system that runs multiple CPUs simultaneouslyon-site and ensures system continuity in case any of the CPUs fails. This system backs up our data systems at anoff-site location on areal-time basis to ensure that our operations can be carried out normally and without material interruption in the event of CPU failure. Also, in order to protect our Internet banking services from system failures and cyber attacks, we process our Internet transactions through three separate data processing centers.

We currently test our disaster recovery systems on a quarterly basis, with the comprehensive testing including our branches and the main IT center’s disaster recovery system. Our disaster recovery capabilities involve a number of operations other than our core banking operations, including credit card and call center transactions. Internally, our System Operations Department monitors all of our computerized network processes and IT systems. This department monitors and reports on any unusual delays or irregularities reported by our branches. In addition, Kookmin Bank’s Information Security Department is responsible for the daily monitoring of its information security system. Our business operations regularly conduct IT security inspections with respect to such operations and have implemented measures to identify and respond collectively to security breach attempts, such as hacking attempts.

In particular, at Kookmin Bank, we have taken steps to establish a comprehensive security system aimed at detecting and responding to internal and external threats to its IT system and have implemented network segregation on the computers of all employees so that Intranet and Extranet functions are segregated. We have endeavored to enhance protection of customer data by using personal identification numbers internally generated and managed by Kookmin Bank in all customer financial transaction, in lieu of the resident registration numbers of its customers, and by amending forms and templates to minimize collection of potentially sensitive customer data. Kookmin Bank’s chief information security officer is responsible for ensuring protection of information assets and technologies and reducing IT risks.

At KB Kookmin Card, we have taken steps to strengthen its information security infrastructure by implementing a solution to prevent attacks on its website and a security system to prevent unauthorized access to local networks and information, as well as an anti-photography system to prevent information leaks via photographs taken with smartphones. As part of strengthening its operational processes and procedures for customer information protection, KB Kookmin Card prohibits use of portable devices within the premises, requires managerial approval for all documents sent externally, including via email, and continuously monitors compliance with data protection policies, including through spot inspection of each department.

In 2009, Kookmin Bank obtained ISO 27001 certification, which relates to information security. In 2011, Kookmin Bank also obtained ISO 20000 certification, which relates to IT service management, and BS 25999 certification, which relates to business continuity management. Kookmin Bank is the first Korean bank to have obtained all three such international certifications. In addition, in 2013, 2015 and 2016, Kookmin Bank, we and KB Kookmin Card, respectively, obtained ISMS certification, which relates to information security management.

We implement various year-round education programs and training sessions designed to raise the information security awareness of both management and employees.

Item 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

Fees and Charges

Under the terms of the deposit agreement, as a holder of our ADSs, you are required to pay the following service fees to the depositary:

Services	Fees
Issuance of ADSs	Up to $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) issued
Delivery of deposited shares against surrender of ADSs	Up to $5.00 per 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) surrendered
Distribution of cash dividends or other cash distributions	Up to $0.02 per ADS held
Transfer of ADSs, combination andsplit-up of American depositary receipts or interchange of certificated and uncertificated ADSs	Up to $1.50 per American depositary receipt transferred
Distribution or sale of securities pursuant to stock dividends, free stock distributions, exercise of rights or any othernon-cash distributions	A fee equivalent to the fee that would be payable if securities distributed or sold, as the case may be, had been shares and such shares had been deposited for issuance of ADSs
Depositary Services	Up to $0.02 per ADS (or portion thereof) held on the applicable record date(s) established by the depositary

As a holder of our ADSs, you are also responsible for paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the depositary and certain taxes and governmental charges such as:

• Fees for the transfer and registration of shares charged by the registrar and transfer agent for the shares in Korea (i.e., upon deposit and withdrawal of shares).

• Expenses incurred for converting foreign currency into U.S. dollars.

• Expenses for cable, telex and fax transmissions and for delivery of securities.

• Taxes and duties upon the transfer of securities (i.e., when shares are deposited or withdrawn from deposit).

• Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the delivery or servicing of shares on deposit or other deposited securities.

Depositary fees payable upon the issuance and surrender of ADSs are typically paid to the depositary by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) receiving the newly issued ADSs from the depositary and by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) delivering the ADSs to the depositary for surrender. The brokers in turn charge these fees to their clients. Depositary fees payable in connection with distributions of cash or securities to ADS holders and the depositary services fee are charged by the depositary to the holders of record of ADSs as of the applicable ADS record date.

The depositary fees payable for cash distributions are generally deducted from the cash being distributed. In the case of distributions other than cash (i.e., stock dividend, rights), the depositary charges the applicable fee to the ADS record date holders concurrent with the distribution. In the case of ADSs registered in the name of the investor (whether certificated or uncertificated in direct registration), the depositary sends invoices to the applicable record date ADS holders. In the case of ADSs held in brokerage and custodian accounts (via the Depository Trust Company, or DTC), the depositary generally collects its fees through the systems provided by

209

DTC (whose nominee is the registered holder of the ADSs held in DTC) from the brokers and custodians holding ADSs in their DTC accounts. The brokers and custodians who hold their clients’ ADSs in DTC accounts in turn charge their clients’ accounts the amount of the fees paid to the depositary.

In the event of refusal to pay the depositary fees, the depositary may, under the terms of the deposit agreement, refuse the requested service until payment is received or may set off the amount of the depositary fees from any distribution to be made to such holder of ADSs.

Note that the fees and charges you may be required to pay may vary over time and may be changed by us and by the depositary. You will receive prior notice of such changes.

Fees and Payments from the Depositary to Us

In 2016, we received the following payments from the depositary:

Reimbursement of listing fees:	$	51,972
Reimbursement of SEC filing fees:	$	40,305
Reimbursement of expenses related to proxy process (printing, postage and distribution) and ADS holders identification:	$	72,697
Reimbursement of legal fees:	$	322,200
Reimbursement of expenses related to our investor relations activities (investor conferences and investor relations agency fees, etc.):	$	119,405

In addition, as part of its service to us, the depositary waives its fees for the standard costs and operating expenses associated with the administration of the ADS facility.

Item 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016. Our management has excluded Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 in accordance with the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently-acquired business may be omitted from our scope in the year of acquisition. In October 2016, we acquired a 100% shareholding in Hyundai Securities through a comprehensive stock swap, as a result of which Hyundai Securities became a consolidated subsidiary. In December 2016, we merged an existing subsidiary, KB Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., with and into Hyundai Securities and changed the name of the surviving entity to KB Securities. Hyundai Securities and its subsidiaries accounted for approximately 7.19% of our consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2016 and its revenue for the period subsequent to its consolidation in 2016 amounted to 5.20% of our consolidated total revenue.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been audited by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report included herein which expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

The attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm is furnished in Item 18 of this Form20-F.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As a result of our acquisition of a 100% shareholding in Hyundai Securities in October 2016 and the subsequent merger of KB Investment & Securities with and into Hyundai Securities (renamed to KB Securities) in December 2016, we are evaluating and implementing changes to processes, policies and other components of our internal control over financial reporting as part of our ongoing integration activities. Our management continues to be engaged in efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control procedures and the design

211

of those control procedures in connection with the acquisition of KB Securities, with a plan to report its evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Hyundai Securities at December 31, 2017. Except for the foregoing, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Differences in Corporate Governance Practices

Pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange applicable to foreign private issuers like us that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we are required to disclose significant differences between the New York Stock Exchange’s corporate governance standards and those that we follow under Korean law and in accordance with our own internal procedures. The following is a summary of such significant differences:

NYSE Corporate Governance Standards	KB Financial Group
Director Independence
Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors.	The majority of our board of directors is independent (as defined in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange’s standards), as seven out of nine directors arenon-executive directors.
Executive Session
Non-management directors must meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. Independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year.	Ournon-executive directors hold executive sessions as needed in accordance with the Regulation of the Board of Directors.
Nomination/Corporate Governance Committee
A nomination/corporate governance committee of independent directors is required. The committee must have a charter that addresses the purpose, responsibilities (including development of corporate governance guidelines) and annual performance evaluation of the committee.	We maintain aNon-executive Director Nominating Committee composed of threenon-executive directors and our chief executive officer. We maintain a Corporate Governance Committee composed of threenon-executive directors,one non-standing director and our chief executive officer.
Compensation Committee
A compensation committee of independent directors is required. The committee must have a charter that addresses the purpose, responsibilities and annual performance evaluation of the committee. The charter must be made available on the company’s website. In addition, in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules adopted pursuant to Section 952 of theDodd-Frank Act, the New York Stock Exchange listing standards were amended to expand the factors relevant in determining whether a committee member has a relationship with the company that will materially affect that member’s duties to the compensation committee. Additionally, the committee may obtain or retain the advice of a compensation adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to determining that adviser’s independence from management.	We maintain an Evaluation and Compensation Committee composed of fournon-executive directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of KB Financial Group Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KB Financial Group Inc. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2016. We have also excluded Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Hyundai Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent 7.19% and 5.20%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The Group does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

• Amendments to IAS 12,Income Tax

Amendments to IAS 12 clarify how to account for deferred tax assets related to debt instruments measured at fair value. IAS 12 provides requirements on the recognition and measurement of current or deferred tax liabilities or assets. The amendments issued clarify the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses, to address diversity in practice. The Group will apply the amendments for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 with early application permitted. The Group does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

• Amendments to IFRS 2,Share-based Payment

Amendments to IFRS 2 clarifies accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. And also, clarifies that the measurement approach should treat the terms and conditions of a cash-settled award in the same way as for an equity-settled award. The Group will apply the amendments for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early application permitted. The Group does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

• IFRS 9,Financial Instruments

The new standard for financial instruments issued in July 2014 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early application permitted. This standard will replace IAS 39Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Group will apply the standards for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

The standard requires retrospective application with some exceptions. For example, the entity is not required to restate prior periods in relation to classification, measurement and impairment of financial instruments. The standard requires prospective application of its hedge accounting requirements for all hedging relationships except the accounting for time value of options and other exceptions.

IFRS 9Financial Instruments requires all financial assets to be classified and measured on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. A new impairment model, an expected credit loss model, is introduced and any subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recognized in profit or loss. Also, hedge accounting rules amended to extend the hedging relationship, which consists only of eligible hedging instruments and hedged items, qualifies for hedge accounting.

An effective implementation of IFRS 9 requires preparation processes including financial impact assessment, accounting policy establishment, accounting system development and the system stabilization. The impact on the Group’s financial statements due to the application of the standard is dependent on judgements made in applying the standard, financial instruments held by the Group and macroeconomic variables.

Within the Group, IFRS 9 Task Force Team (‘TFT’) has been set up to prepare for implementation of IFRS 9 since October 2015. There are three stages for implementation of IFRS 9, such as analysis, design and

F-12

implementation, and preparation for application. The Group is analyzing the financial impacts of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements.

Stage	Period	Process
1	From Oct. to Dec. 2015 (for 3 months)	Analysis of GAAP differences and development of methodology
2	From Jan. to Dec. 2016 (for 12 months)	Development of methodology, definition of business requirement, and the system development and test.
3	From Jan. 2017 to Mar. 2018 (for 15 months)	Preparation for opening balances of the financial statements

Meanwhile, the following areas are likely to be affected in general.

(a) Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets

When implementing IFRS 9, the classification of financial assets will be driven by the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and contractual terms of cash flow. The following table shows the classification of financial assets measured subsequently at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income and at fair value through profit or loss. If a hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset, the classification of the hybrid contract shall be determined for the entire contract without separating the embedded derivative.

Business model	Contractual cash flows characteristics
	Solely represent payments of principal and interest	All other
Hold the financial asset for the collection of the contractual cash flows	Measured at amortized cost1	Recognized at fair value through profit or loss2
Hold the financial asset for the collection of the contractual cash flows and trading	Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income1
Hold for trading and others	Measured at fair value through profit or loss

¹ A designation at fair value through profit or loss is allowed only if such designation mitigates an accounting mismatch (irrevocable).

² A designation at fair value through other comprehensive income is allowed only if the financial instrument is the equity investment that is not held for trading (irrevocable).

With the implementation of IFRS 9, the criteria to classify the financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are more strictly applied than the criteria applied with IAS 39. Accordingly, the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss may increase by implementing IFRS 9 and may result an extended fluctuation in profit or loss.

(b) Classification and Measurement of Financial Liabilities

IFRS 9 requires the amount of the change in the liability’s fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk to be recognized in other comprehensive income, unless this treatment of the credit risk component creates or enlarges a measurement mismatch. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income are not subsequently transferred to profit or loss.

F-13

Under IAS 39, all financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss recognized their fair value movements in profit or loss. However, under IFRS 9, certain fair value movements will be recognized in other comprehensive income and as a result, profit or loss from fair value movements may decrease.

(c) Impairment: Financial Assets and Contract Assets

IFRS 9 sets out a new forward looking ‘expected credit loss impairment model’ which replaces the incurred loss model under IAS 39 that impaired asset if there is objective evidence and applies to:

• Financial assets measured at amortized cost,

• Debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and

• Certain loan commitments and financial guaranteed contracts.

Under IFRS 9, a credit event (or impairment ‘trigger’) no longer has to occur before credit losses are recognized. The Group will always recognize (at a minimum)12-month expected credit losses in profit or loss. Lifetime expected losses will be recognized on assets for which there is a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition.

Stage		Loss allowance
1	No significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition	12-month expected credit losses: expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date
2	Significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition	Lifetime expected credit losses: expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument
3	Objective evidence of impairment

Under IFRS 9, the asset that is credit-impaired at initial recognition would recognize all changes in lifetime expected credit losses since the initial recognition as a loss allowance with any changes recognized in profit or loss.

(d) Hedge Accounting

Hedge accounting mechanics (fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedge of net investments in a foreign operations) required by IAS 39 remains unchanged in IFRS 9, however, the new hedge accounting rules will align the accounting for hedging instruments more closely with the Group’s risk management practices. As a general rule, more hedge relationships might be eligible for hedge accounting, as the standard introduces a more principles-based approach. IFRS 9 allows more hedging instruments and hedged items to qualify for hedge accounting, and relaxes the hedge accounting requirement by removing two hedge effectiveness tests that are a prospective test to ensure that the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective and a quantitative retrospective test (within range of80-125%) to ensure that the hedging relationship has been highly effective throughout the reporting period.

With implementation of IFRS 9, volatility in profit or loss may be reduced as some items that were not eligible as hedged items or hedging instruments under IAS 39 are now eligible under IFRS 9.

• IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued in May 2014 replaces IAS 18Revenue, IAS 11Construction Contracts, Interpretation 2031Revenue-Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services, Interpretation 2113Customer Loyalty Programs, Interpretation 2115Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate and Interpretation 2118Transfers of assets from customers.

F-14

IAS 18 and other, the current standard, provide revenue recognition criteria by type of transactions; such as, sales goods, the rendering of services, interest income, royalty income, dividend income, and construction contracts. However, IFRS 15, the new standard, is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer—so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. A new five-step process must be applied before revenue from contract with customer can be recognized:

• Identify contracts with customers

• Identify the separate performance obligation

• Determine the transaction price of the contract

• Allocate the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations, and

• Recognize the revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Group will apply new standard for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early application permitted. The Group has assessed the impact of IFRS 15 and expects that the standard will have no significant effect, when applied, on the consolidated financial statements.

• IFRS 16, Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ with an effective date of annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 results in lessees accounting for most leases within the scope of the standard in a manner similar to the way in which finance leases are currently accounted for under IAS 17 ‘Leases’. Lessees will recognise a ‘right of use’ asset and a corresponding financial liability on the balance sheet. The asset will be amortized over the length of the lease and the financial liability measured at amortized cost. Lessor accounting remains substantially the same as in IAS 17. The group is assessing the impact of IFRS 16.

2.2 Measurement Basis

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified.

2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Parent Company’s functional and presentation currency(Note 3.2.1 and 3.2.2).

2.4 Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the application of accounting policies, certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that may have a significant impact on the assets (liabilities) and incomes (expenses). Management’s estimates of outcomes may differ from actual outcomes if management’s estimates and assumptions based on management’s best judgment at the reporting date are different from the actual environment.

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and any change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in profit or loss in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only. Alternatively if the change in accounting estimate affects both the period of change and future periods, that change is recognized in the profit or loss of all those periods.

F-15

Uncertainty in estimates and assumptions with significant risk that may result in material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

2.4.1 Income taxes

The Group is operating in numerous countries and the income generated from these operations is subject to income taxes based on tax laws and interpretations of tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. If certain portion of the taxable income is not used for investments, increase in wages, or dividends in accordance with the Tax System for Recirculation of Corporate Income, the Group is liable to pay additional income tax calculated based on the tax laws. The new tax system is effective for three years from 2015. Accordingly, the measurement of current and deferred income tax is affected by the tax effects from the new system. As the Group’s income tax is dependent on the investments, increase in wages and dividends, there exists uncertainty with regard to measuring the final tax effects.

2.4.2 Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments where no active market exists or where quoted prices are not otherwise available is determined by using valuation techniques. Financial instruments, which are not actively traded in the market and those with less transparent market prices, will have less objective fair values and require broad judgment on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty in market factors and assumptions in price determination and other risks.

As described in the significant accounting policies in Note 3.3, ‘Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments’, diverse valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments, from generally accepted market valuation models to internally developed valuation models that incorporate various types of assumptions and variables.

2.4.3 Provisions for credit losses (allowances for loan losses, provisions for acceptances and guarantees, and unused loan commitments)

The Group determines and recognizes allowances for losses on loans through impairment testing and recognizes provisions for guarantees, and unused loan commitments. The accuracy of provisions for credit losses is determined by the methodology and assumptions used for estimating expected cash flows of the borrower for individually assessed allowances of loans, collectively assessed allowances for groups of loans, guarantees and unused loan commitments.

2.4.4 Net defined benefit liability

The present value of net defined benefit liability depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions (Note 24).

2.4.5 Impairment of goodwill

The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based onvalue-in-use calculations to test whether goodwill has suffered any impairment (Note 15).

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

F-16

3.1 Consolidation

3.1.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are companies that are controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The existence and effects of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date when control is transferred to the Group andde-consolidated from the date when control is lost.

If a subsidiary uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to make the subsidiary’s accounting policies conform to those of the Group when the subsidiary’s financial statements are used by the Group in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to thenon-controlling interests, if any. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to thenon-controlling interests even if this results in thenon-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Transactions withnon-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions; that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals tonon-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity isre-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred is measured at the fair values of the assets transferred, and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes anynon-controlling interest in the acquiree on anacquisition-by-acquisition basis in the event of liquidation, either at fair value or at thenon-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group applies the book amount method to account for business combinations of entities under a common control. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their book amounts on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. In addition, the difference between the sum of consolidated book amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred and accumulated other comprehensive income; and the consideration paid is recognized as capital surplus.

3.1.2 Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence in the financial and operating policy decisions. If the Group holds 20% or more of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the Group has significant influence.

F-17

Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the investee and changes in the investee’s equity after the date of acquisition. The Group’s share of the profit or loss of the investee is recognized in the Group’s profit or loss. Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Profit and loss resulting from ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’ transactions between the Group and associates are eliminated to the extent at the Group’s interest in associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains except that they are only eliminated to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

If associates use accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to make the associate’s accounting policies conform to those of the Group when the associate’s financial statements are used by the Group in applying equity method.

After the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee.

The Group determines at each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that the investments in the associates are impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associates and its carrying value and recognizes the amount as‘non-operating income(expense)’ in the statements of comprehensive income.

3.1.3 Structured entity

A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity. When the Group decides whether it has power to the structured entities in which the Group has interests, it considers factors such as the purpose, the form, the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of a structured entity, the nature of its relationship with a structured entity and the amount of exposure to variable returns.

3.1.4 Trusts and funds

The Group provides management services for trust assets, collective investment and other funds. These trusts and funds are not consolidated in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, except for trusts and funds over which the Group has control.

3.1.5 Intra-group transactions

All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains arising on intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains except that they are only eliminated to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

3.2 Foreign Currency

3.2.1 Foreign currency transactions

A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate which is the spot exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined andnon-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

F-18

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous consolidated financial statements are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on net investments in a foreign operation and financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment. When gains or losses on anon-monetary item are recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of those gains or losses are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Conversely, when gains or losses on anon-monetary item are recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of those gains or losses are also recognized in profit or loss.

3.2.2 Foreign operations

The financial performance and financial position of all foreign operations, whose functional currencies differ from the Group’s presentation currency, are translated into the Group’s presentation currency using the following procedures.

Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income presented are translated at average exchange rates for the period. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Any goodwill arising from the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition of that foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus, they are expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and are translated into the presentation currency at the closing rate.

On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation, recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the gains or losses on disposal are recognized. On the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the Group redistributes the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income to thenon-controlling interests in that foreign operation. In any other partial disposal of a foreign operation, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss only the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income.

3.3 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments

3.3.1 Initial recognition

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in its statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets (a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial instruments within the time frame established generally by market regulation or practice) is recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

The Group classifies financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,held-to-maturity financial assets,available-for-sale financial assets, or loans and receivables, or other financial assets. The Group classifies financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the nature and holding purpose of the financial instrument at initial recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

At initial recognition, a financial asset or financial liability is measured at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are

F-19

directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. The fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price (that is, the fair value of the consideration given or received) in an arm’s length transaction.

3.3.2 Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial instruments are measured at amortized cost or fair value based on classification at initial recognition.

Amortized cost

The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition and adjusted to reflect principal repayments, cumulative amortization using the effective interest method and any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or uncollectibility.

Fair value

Fair values, which the Group primarily uses for the measurement of financial instruments, are the published price quotations based on market prices or dealer price quotations of financial instruments traded in an active market where available. These are the best evidence of fair value. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, an entity in the same industry, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

If the market for a financial instrument is not active, fair value is determined either by using a valuation technique or independent third-party valuation service. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, referencing to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

The Group uses valuation models that are commonly used by market participants and customized for the Group to determine fair values of commonover-the-counter (OTC) derivatives such as options, interest rate swaps and currency swaps which are based on the inputs observable in markets. For more complex instruments, the Group uses internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally used within the industry, or a value measured by an independent external valuation institution as the fair values if all or some of the inputs to the valuation models are not market observable and therefore it is necessary to estimate fair value based on certain assumptions.

The Group’s Fair Value Evaluation Committee, which consists of the risk management department, trading department and accounting department, reviews the appropriateness of internally developed valuation models, and approves the selection and changing of the external valuation institution and other considerations related to fair value measurement. The review results on the fair valuation models are reported to the Market Risk Management subcommittee by the Fair Value Evaluation Committee on a regular basis.

If the valuation technique does not reflect all factors which market participants would consider in setting a price, the fair value is adjusted to reflect those factors. Those factors include counterparty credit risk,bid-ask spread, liquidity risk and others.

The chosen valuation technique makes maximum use of market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. It incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and is consistent with economic methodologies applied for pricing financial instruments. Periodically, the Group calibrates the valuation technique and tests its validity using prices of observable current market transactions of the same instrument or based on other relevant observable market data.

F-20

3.3.3 Derecognition

Derecognition is the removal of a previously recognized financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position. The Group derecognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when, and only when:

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or the financial assets have been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are also transferred, or all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are neither substantially transferred nor retained and the Group has not retained control. If the Group neither transfers nor disposes of substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset.

If the Group transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset in its entirely and recognize a financial liability for the consideration received.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

3.3.4 Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparty.

3.4 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, foreign currency, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.5Non-derivative Financial Assets

3.5.1 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category comprises twosub-categories: financial assets classified as held for trading, and financial assets designated by the Group as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

Anon-derivative financial asset is classified as held for trading if either:

• It is acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term, or

• It is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking.

F-21

The Group may designate certain financial assets, other than held for trading, upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss when one of the following conditions is met:

• It eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as ‘an accounting mismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases.

• A group of financial assets is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the Group’s key management personnel.

• A contract contains one or more embedded derivatives; the Group may designate the entire hybrid (combined) contract as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss if allowed by IAS 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement.

After initial recognition, a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value and gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Interest income, dividend income, and gains or losses from sale and repayment from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as net gains on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

3.5.2 Financial Investments

Available-for-sale andheld-to-maturity financial assets are presented as financial investments.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Profit or loss of financial assets classified as available for sale, except for impairment loss and foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from changes in amortized cost of debt securities, is recognized as other comprehensive income, and cumulative profit or loss is reclassified from equity to current profit or loss at the derecognition of the financial asset, and it is recognized as part of other operating profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

However, interest income measured using the effective interest method is recognized in current profit or loss, and dividends of financial assets classified asavailable-for-sale are recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

Available-for-sale financial assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate. Foravailable-for-sale debt securities denominated in foreign currency, exchange differences resulting from changes in amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss as part of other operating income and expenses. Foravailable-for-sale equity securities denominated in foreign currency, the entire change in fair value including any exchange component is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Held-to-maturity financial assets

Held-to-maturity financial assets arenon-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.Held-to-maturity financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method after initial recognition and interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.

3.5.3 Loans and receivables

Non-derivative financial assets which meet the following conditions are classified as loans and receivables:

• Those with fixed or determinable payments.

• Those that are not quoted in an active market.

F-22

• Those that the Group does not intend to sell immediately or in the near term.

• Those that the Group, upon initial recognition, does not designate asavailable-for-sale or as at fair value through profit or loss.

After initial recognition, these are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

If the financial asset is purchased under an agreement to resale the asset at a fixed price or at a price that provides a lender’s return on the purchase price, the consideration paid is recognized as loans and receivables.

3.6 Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred, if and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. However, losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognized.

Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired includes the following loss events:

• Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor.

• A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments.

• The lender, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider.

• It becomes probable that the borrower will declare bankruptcy or undergo financial reorganization.

• The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

• Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.

In addition to the types of events in the preceding paragraphs, objective evidence of impairment for an investment in an equity instrument classified as anavailable-for-sale financial asset includes a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost. The Group considers the decline in the fair value of over 30% against the original cost as a “significant decline”. A decline is considered as prolonged if the period, in which the fair value of the financial asset has been below its original cost at initial recognition, is same as or more than six months.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured and recognized in profit or loss as either provisions for credit loss or other operating income and expenses.

3.6.1 Loans and receivables

The amount of the loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant (individual assessment of impairment).

F-23

Financial assets that are not individually significant assess objective evidence of impairment individually or collectively. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment (collective assessment of impairment).

Individual assessment of impairment

Individual assessment of impairment losses are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows of a loan at its original effective interest rate and comparing the resultant present value with the loan’s current carrying amount. This process normally encompasses management’s best estimate, such as operating cash flow of the borrower and net realizable value of any collateral held.

Collective assessment of impairment

A methodology based on historical loss experience is used to estimate inherent incurred loss on groups of assets for collective assessment of impairment. Such methodology incorporates factors such as type of collateral, product and borrowers, credit rating, loss emergence period, recovery period and applies probability of default on a group of assets and loss given default by type of recovery method. Also, consistent assumptions are applied to form a formula-based model in estimating inherent loss and to determine factors on the basis of historical loss experience and current condition. The methodology and assumptions used for collective assessment of impairment are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

Impairment loss on loans reduces the carrying amount of the asset through use of an allowance account, and when a loan becomes uncollectable, it is written off against the related allowance account. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and is objectively related to the subsequent event after recognition of impairment, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognized in profit or loss.

3.6.2Available-for-sale financial assets

When a decline in the fair value of anavailable-for-sale financial asset has been recognized in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss (the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss) that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as part of other operating income and expenses. The impairment loss onavailable-for-sale financial assets is directly from the carryng amount.

If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified asavailable-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, a portion of the impairment loss is reversed up to but not exceeding the previously recorded impairment loss, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss as part of other operating income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. However, impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for anavailable-for-sale equity instrument classified as available for sale are not reversed through profit or loss.

3.6.3Held-to-maturity financial assets

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss onheld-to-maturity financial assets carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss as part of other operating income and expenses. The impairment loss onheld-to-maturity financial assets is directly deducted from the carrying amount.

F-24

In the case of a financial asset classified as held to maturity, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and it is objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment is recognized, a portion of the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed up to but not exceeding the extent of amortized cost at the date of recovery. The amount of reversal is recognized in profit or loss as part of other operating income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

3.7 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group enters into numerous derivative financial instrument contracts such as currency forwards, interest rate swaps, currency swaps and others for trading purposes or to manage its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange, amongst others. These derivative financial instruments are presented as derivative financial instruments within the consolidated financial statements irrespective of transaction purpose and subsequent measurement requirement.

The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the risk of changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge) and the risk of changes in cash flow (cash flow hedge). The Group designatesnon-derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the risk of foreign exchange of a net investment in a foreign operation (hedge of net investment).

At the inception of the hedge, there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. That documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value attributable to the hedged risk.

3.7.1 Derivative financial instruments held for trading

All derivative financial instruments, except for derivatives that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from a change in fair value are recognized in profit or loss as part of net gains or losses on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

3.7.2 Fair value hedges

If derivatives qualify for a fair value hedge, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss as part of other operating income and expenses. Fair value hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the Group revokes the designation. Once fair value hedge accounting is discontinued, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item is fully amortized to profit or loss by the maturity of the financial instrument using the effective interest method.

3.7.3 Cash flow hedges

The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized directly in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in profit or loss. The associated gains or losses that were previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast cash flows affects profit or loss. Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the Group revokes the designation. When the cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the cumulative gains or losses on the hedging instrument that have been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss over the year in which the forecast transaction occurs. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gains or losses that had been recognized in other comprehensive income are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

F-25

3.7.4 Hedge of net investment

If financial liabilities qualify for a net investment hedge, the effective portion of changes in fair value of hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized in profit. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge that has been recognized in other comprehensive income will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation in accordance with IAS 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

3.7.5 Embedded derivatives

An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract and a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative and the hybrid (combined) instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of an embedded derivative separated from the host contract are recognized in profit or loss as part of net gains or losses on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

3.7.6 Day one gain and loss

If the Group uses a valuation technique that incorporates data not obtained from observable markets for the fair value at initial recognition of the financial instrument, there may be a difference between the transaction price and the amount determined using that valuation technique. In these circumstances, the difference is deferred and not recognized in profit or loss, and is amortized by using the straight-line method over the life of the financial instrument. If the fair value of the financial instrument is subsequently determined using observable market inputs, the remaining deferred amount is recognized in profit or loss as part of net gains or losses on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss or other operating income and expenses.

3.8 Property and Equipment

3.8.1 Recognition and measurement

All property and equipment that qualify for recognition as an asset are measured at cost and subsequently carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of property and equipment includes any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they prolong the useful life or enhance values of the assets but the costs of theday-to-day servicing of the assets such as repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. When part of an item of an asset has a useful life different from that of the entire asset, it is recognized as a separate asset.

3.8.2 Depreciation

Land is not depreciated, whereas other property and equipment are depreciated using the method that reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Group. The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual value. As for leased assets, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

F-26

Each part of an item of property and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.

The depreciation method and estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Property and equipment	Depreciation method	Estimated useful life
Buildings and structures	Straight-line	40 years
Leasehold improvements	Declining-balance/ Straight-line	4 years
Equipment and vehicles	Declining-balance/ Straight-line	3~8 years
Finance leased assets	Declining-balance	8 months ~ 5 years and 8 months

The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reviewed at least at each financial year end, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

3.9 Investment Properties

3.9.1 Recognition and Measurement

Properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both are classified as investment properties. Investment properties are measured initially at their cost and subsequently the cost model is used.

3.9.2 Depreciation

Land is not depreciated, whereas other investment properties are depreciated using the method that reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Group. The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual value.

The depreciation method and estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Investment property	Depreciation method	Estimated useful life
Buildings	Straight-line	40 years

The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reviewed at least at each financial year end and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

3.10 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are measured initially at cost and subsequently carried at their cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets, except for goodwill and membership rights, are amortized using the straight-line method with no residual value over their estimated useful economic life since the asset is available for use.

Intangible assets	Amortization method	Estimated useful life
Industrial property rights	Straight-line	3~10 years
Software	Straight-line	3~5 years
Finance leased assets	Straight-line	8 months ~ 5 years and 8 months
Others	Straight-line	2~30 years

F-27

The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Where an intangible asset is not being amortized because its useful life is considered to be indefinite, the Group carries out a review in each accounting period to confirm whether or not events and circumstances still support the assumption of an indefinite useful life. If they do not, the change from the indefinite to finite useful life is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

3.10.1 Goodwill

Recognition and measurement

Goodwill acquired from business combinations before January 1, 2010, is stated at its carrying amount which was recognized under the Group’s previous accounting policy, prior to the transition to IFRS.

Goodwill acquired from business combinations after January 1, 2010, is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, fair value ofnon-controlling interest and the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

For each business combination, the Group decides whether thenon-controlling interest in the acquiree is initially measured at fair value or at thenon-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.

Acquisition-related costs incurred to effect a business combination are charged to expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, except for the costs to issue debt or equity securities.

Additional acquisitions ofnon-controlling interest

Additional acquisitions ofnon-controlling interests are accounted for as equity transactions. Therefore, no additional goodwill is recognized.

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is not amortized and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. However, goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in associates is not separately recognized and an impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, which forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in the associates.

3.10.2 Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it enhances values of the assets. Internally generated intangible assets, such as goodwill and trade name, are not recognized as assets but expensed as incurred.

3.11 Leases

3.11.1 Finance lease

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. At the commencement of the lease term, the Group recognizes finance leases as assets and liabilities in its statements of financial position at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. Any initial direct costs of the lessee are added to the amount recognized as an asset.

F-28

Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

The depreciable amount of a leased asset is allocated to each accounting period during the period of expected use on a systematic basis consistent with the depreciation policy the Group adopts for depreciable assets that are owned. If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use is the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

3.11.2 Operating lease

A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

Leases in the financial statements of lessors

Lease income from operating leases are recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which use benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished. Initial direct costs incurred by lessors in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

Leases in the financial statements of lessees

Lease payments under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the asset’s benefit.

3.12 Greenhouse Gas Emission Rights and Liabilities

The Group measured at zero the emission rights received free of charge from the government following the Enforcement of Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Allowances. Emission rights purchased are measured initially at cost and subsequently carried at their costs less any accumulated impairment losses. Emission liabilities are measured as the sum of the carrying amount of emission allowances held by the Group and best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation for any excess emissions at the end of reporting period. The emission rights and liabilities are classified as ‘intangible assets’ and ‘provisions’, respectively, in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The emission rights held for trading are measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. The changes in fair value and gain or loss on disposal are classified asnon-operating income and expenses.

3.13 Impairment ofNon-Financial Assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that anon-financial asset, except for (i) deferred income tax assets, (ii) assets arising from employee benefits and(iii) non-current assets (or group of assets to be sold) classified as held for sale, may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. However, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the Group tests (i) goodwill acquired in a business combination, (ii) intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and (iii) intangible assets not yet available for use for impairment annually by comparing their carrying amount with their recoverable amount.

F-29

The recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs (the asset’s cash-generating unit). A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit that are discounted by apre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss and recognized immediately in profit or loss. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset, other than goodwill, may no longer exist or may have decreased, and an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

3.14Non-Current Assets Held for Sale

Anon-current asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale must be highly probable. Anon-current asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell which is measured in accordance with the applicable IFRS, immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale.

Anon-current asset while it is classified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale is not depreciated (or amortized).

Impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. Gains are recognized for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized.

3.15 Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading. After initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value, and gains or losses from sale and repayment of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized as net gains on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

3.16 Insurance Contracts

KB Life Insurance Co., Ltd., one of the subsidiaries of the Group, issues insurance contracts.

F-30

Insurance contracts are defined as “a contract under which one party (the insurer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder”. A contract that qualifies as an insurance contract remains an insurance contract until all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Such a contract that does not contain significant insurance risk is classified as an investment contract and is within the scope of IAS 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement to the extent that it gives rise to a financial asset or financial liability, except if the investment contract contains a Discretionary Participation Features (DPF). If the contract has a DPF, the contract is subject to IFRS 4,Insurance Contracts. The Group recognizes assets (liabilities) and gains (losses) relating to insurance contracts as other assets (liabilities) in the statements of financial position, and as other operating income (expenses) in the statements of comprehensive income, respectively.

3.16.1 Insurance premiums

The Group recognizes collected premiums as revenue on the due date of collection of premiums from insurance contracts and the collected premium which is unmatured at the end of the reporting period is recognized as unearned premium.

3.16.2 Insurance liabilities

The Group recognizes a liability for future claims, refunds, policyholders’ dividends and related expenses as follows:

Premium reserve

A premium reserve refers to an amount based on the net premium method for payment of future claims with respect to events covered by insurance policies which have not yet occurred as of the reporting period.

Reserve for outstanding claims

A reserve for outstanding claims refers to the amount not yet paid, out of an amount to be paid or expected to be paid with respect to the insured events which have arisen as of the end of each fiscal year.

Unearned premium reserve

Unearned premium refers to the portion of the premium that has been paid in advance for insurance that has not yet been provided. An unearned premium reserve refers to the amount maintained by the insurer to refund in the event of either party cancelling the contract.

Policyholders’ dividends reserve

Policyholders’ dividends reserve including an interest rate guarantee reserve, a mortality dividend reserve and an interest rate difference dividend reserve is recognized for the purpose of provisioning for policyholders’ dividends in the future in accordance with statutes or insurance terms and conditions.

3.16.3 Liability adequacy test

The Group assesses at each reporting period whether its insurance liabilities are adequate, using current estimates of all future contractual cash flows and related cash flow such as claims handling cost, as well as cash flows resulting from embedded options and guarantees under its insurance contracts in accordance with IFRS 4. If the assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities is inadequate in light of the estimated future cash flows, the entire deficiency is recognized in profit or loss and reserved as insurance liabilities. Future cash flows from long-term insurance are discounted at a future rate of return on operating assets, whereas future

F-31

cash flows from general insurance are not discounted to present value. For liability adequacy tests of premium and unearned premium reserves, the Group considers all cash flow factors such as future insurance premium, deferred acquisition costs, operating expenses and operating premiums. In relation to the reserve for outstanding claims, the Group elects a model that best reflects the trend of paid claims among several statistical methods to perform the adequacy test.

3.16.4 Deferred acquisition costs

Acquisition cost is deferred in an amount actually spent for an insurance contract and equally amortized over the premium payment period or the period in which acquisition costs are charged for the relevant insurance contract. Acquisition costs are amortized over the shorter of seven years or premium payment period; if there is any unamortized acquisition costs remaining as of the date of surrender or lapse, such remainder shall be amortized in the period in which the contract is surrendered or lapsed.

3.17 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround many events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of provisions, and where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provisions are the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.

Provisions on confirmed and unconfirmed acceptances and guarantees, unfunded commitments of credit cards and unused credit lines of consumer and corporate loans are recognized using a valuation model that applies the credit conversion factor, probability of default, and loss given default.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provisions are reversed.

If the Group has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognized and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the minimum net cost to exit from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfill it.

3.18 Financial Guarantee Contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer (the Group) to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognized at fair value. After initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts are measured at the higher of:

• The amount determined in accordance with IAS 37,Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and

• The initial amount recognized, less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with IAS 18,Revenue.

F-32

3.19 Equity Instruments issued by the Group

An equity instrument is any contract or agreement that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

3.19.1 Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are deducted from the equity.

3.19.2 Treasury shares

If entities of the Group acquire the Parent Company’s equity instruments, those instruments (‘treasury shares’) are deducted from equity. No gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of own equity instruments.

3.20 Revenue Recognition

3.20.1 Interest income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognized using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability (or groups of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. In those rare cases when it is not possible to estimate reliably the cash flows or the expected life of a financial instrument (or group of financial instruments), the Group uses the contractual cash flows over the full contractual term of the financial instrument (or group of financial instruments).

Interest on impaired financial assets is recognized using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.

3.20.2 Fee and commission income

The Group recognizes financial service fees in accordance with the accounting standard of the financial instrument related to the fees earned.

Fees that are an integral part of the effective interest of a financial instrument

Such fees are generally treated as adjustments of effective interest. Such fees may include compensation for activities such as evaluating the borrower’s financial condition, evaluating and recording guarantees, collateral and other security arrangements, negotiating the terms of the instrument, preparing and processing documents and closing the transaction and origination fees received on issuing financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. However, fees relating to the creation or acquisition of a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss are recognized as revenue immediately.

F-33

Fees earned as services are provided

Such fees are recognized as revenue as the services are provided. The fees include fees charged for servicing a financial instrument and charged for managing investments.

Fees that are earned on the execution of a significant act

Such fees are recognized as revenue when the significant act has been completed.

Commission on the allotment of shares to a client is recognized as revenue when the shares have been allotted and placement fees for arranging a loan between a borrower and an investor is recognized as revenue when the loan has been arranged.

A syndication fee received by the Group that arranges a loan and retains no part of the loan package for itself (or retains a part at the same effective interest rate for comparable risk as other participants) is compensation for the service of syndication. Such a fee is recognized as revenue when the syndication has been completed.

3.20.3 Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial investment is recognized in profit or loss as part of net gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and other operating income and expenses, respectively.

3.21 Employee Compensation and Benefits

3.21.1 Post-employment benefits

Defined benefit plans

All post-employment benefits, other than defined contribution plans, are classified as defined benefit plans. The amount recognized as a defined benefit liability is the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets at the end of the reporting period.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the Projected Unit Credit method. The rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligations is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds. The currency and term of the corporate bonds are consistent with the currency and estimated term of the post-employment benefit obligations. Actuarial gains and losses including experience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When the total of the present value of the defined benefit obligation minus the fair value of plan assets results in an asset, it is recognized to the extent of the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Past service cost is the change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, which arises when the Group introduces a defined benefit plan or changes the benefits of an existing defined benefit plan. Such past service cost is immediately recognized as an expense for the year.

Defined contribution plans

The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.

F-34

3.21.2 Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service is recognized as a liability (accrued expense), after deducting any amount already paid.

The expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus payments are recognized as liabilities when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

3.21.3 Share-based payment

The Group has share option and share grant programs to directors and employees of the Group. When the options are exercised, the Group can either select to issue new shares or distribute treasury shares, or compensate the difference in fair value of shares and exercise price.

For a share-based payment transaction in which the terms of the arrangement provide the Group with the choice of whether to settle in cash or by issuing equity instruments, the Group determines that it has a present obligation to settle in cash because the Group has a past practice and a stated policy of settling in cash. Therefore, the Group accounts for the transaction in accordance with the requirements of cash-settled share-based payment transactions.

The Group measures the services acquired and the liability incurred at fair value, and the fair value is recognized as expense and accrued expenses over the vesting period. Until the liability is settled, the Group remeasures the fair value of the liability at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the year.

3.21.4 Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group shall recognize a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. Termination benefits are measured by considering the number of employees expected to accept the offer in the case of a voluntary early retirement. Termination benefits over 12 months after the reporting period are discounted to present value.

3.22 Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and deferred income tax expense. Current and deferred income tax are recognized as income or expense for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from (a) a transaction or an event which is recognized, in the same or a different period outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and (b) a business combination.

3.22.1 Current income tax

Current income tax is the amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit (loss) for a period. A difference between the taxable profit and accounting profit may arise when income or expense is included in accounting profit in one period, but is included in taxable profit in a different period. Differences may also arise if there is revenue that is exempt from taxation, or expense that is not deductible in determining taxable profit

F-35

(loss). Current income tax liabilities (assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The Group offsets current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities if, and only if, the Group (a) has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and (b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.22.2 Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the asset-liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax based amount of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. However, deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liabilities for which the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The Group reduces the carrying amount of a deferred income tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The Group offsets deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities; and the deferred income tax assets and the deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity; or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current income tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred income tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

3.22.3 Uncertain tax positions

Uncertain tax positions arise from tax treatments applied by the Group which may be challenged by the tax authorities due to the complexity of the transaction or different interpretation of the tax laws, a claim for rectification brought by the Group, or an appeal for a refund claimed from the tax authorities related to additional assessments. The Group recognizes its uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements based on the guidance in IAS 12. The income tax asset is recognized if a tax refund is probable for taxes paid and levied by the tax authority. However, interest and penalties related to income tax are recognized in accordance with IAS 37.

F-36

3.23 Earnings per Share

The Group calculates basic earnings per share amounts and diluted earnings per share amounts for profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent Company and presents them in the statement of comprehensive income. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Group adjusts profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares including convertible bonds and share options.

3.24 Operating Segments

Operating segments are components of the Group where separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Segment information includes items which are directly attributable and reasonably allocated to the segment.

3.25 United States dollar amounts

The Group operates primarily in Korea and its official accounting records are maintained in Korean won. The U.S. dollar amounts are provided herein as supplementary information solely for the convenience of the reader. Korean won amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars at the rate of ￦1203.73 to U.S. $1.00, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York buying exchange rate in effect at noon, December 30, 2016.

4.3 Liquidity Risk

4.3.1 Overview of Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is a risk that the Group becomes insolvency due to uncertain liquidity caused by unexpected cash outflows, or a risk of borrowing high interest debts or disposal of liquid and other assets at a substantial discount. The Group manages its liquidity risk through analysis of the contractual maturity of interest-bearing assets and liabilities, assets and liabilities related to the other cash flow, andoff-balance sheet items related to cash flow of currency derivative instruments and others.

Cash flows disclosed for the maturity analysis are undiscounted contractual principal and interest to be received (paid) and; thus, are not identical to the amount in the financial statements that are based on the present value of expected cash flows in some cases. The amount of interest to be received or paid on floating rate assets and liabilities is measured on the assumption that the current interest rate would be the same through the maturity.

F-48

4.3.2. Liquidity Risk Management and Indicator

The liquidity risk is managed by risk management policy and liquidity risk management guidelines which are applied to the risk management policies and procedures that address all the possible risks that arise from the overall business of the Group.

The Group computes and manages cumulative liquidity gap and liquidity rate subject to every transactions that affect cash flow in Korean won and foreign currencies andoff-balance sheet transactions in relation to the liquidity. The Group regularly reports to the Risk Planning Council and Risk Management Committee.

4.3.3. Analysis of Remaining Contractual Maturity of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Cash flows disclosed below are undiscounted contractual principal and interest to be received (paid) and; thus, are not identical to the amount in the consolidated financial statements that are based on the present value of expected cash flows. The amount of interest to be received or paid on floating rate assets and liabilities is measured on the assumption that the current interest rate would be the same through the maturity.

¹ The amounts of ￦7,127,248 million and ￦9,307,958 million, which are restricted due from the financial institutions as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, are excluded.

²  Financial assets/liabilities held for trading, financial assets/liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and derivatives held for trading are not managed by contractual maturity because they are expected to be traded or redeemed before maturity. Therefore, the carrying amounts of those financial instruments are classified as ‘On demand’ category. However, the cash flows of the embedded derivatives (e.g. conversion options and others) which are separated from their host contracts in accordance with the requirement of IAS 39, are considered in the cash flows of the host contracts.

³ Cash flows of derivative instruments held for fair value hedging are shown at net cash flow by remaining contractual maturity.

⁴ Equity investments in financial assets classified asavailable-for-sale are generally included in the ‘On demand’ category as most are available for sale at anytime. However, in the case of equity investments restricted for sale, they are shown in the period in which the restriction is expected to expire.

⁵ Deposits that are contractually repayable on demand or on short notice are classified under the ‘On demand’ category.

⁶ Commitments are included under the ‘On demand’ category because payments will be made upon request.

4.4 Market Risk

4.4.1 Overview of Market Risk

Concept

Market risk is the risk of possible losses which arise from changes in market factors; such as, interest rate, stock price, foreign exchange rate and other market factors that affect the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments; such as, securities and derivatives amongst others. The most significant risks associated with trading positions are interest rate risks, currency risks and also, stock price risks. In addition, the Group is exposed to interest rate risks associated withnon-trading positions. The Group classifies exposures to market risk into either trading ornon-trading positions. The Group measures and manages market risk separately for each subsidiary.

Risk Management

The Group sets internal capital limits for market risk and interest rate risk and monitors the risks to manage the risk of trading andnon-trading positions. The Group maintains risk management systems and procedures; such as, trading policies and procedures, and market risk management guidelines for trading positions, and interest rate risk management guidelines fornon-trading positions in order to manage market risk efficiently. The procedures mentioned are implemented with approval from the Risk Management Committee and Risk Management Council.

Kookmin Bank, one of the subsidiaries, establishes market risk management policy, sets position limits, loss limits and VaR limits of each business group and approves newly developed instruments through its Risk Management Council. The Market Risk Management Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), is the decision maker and sets position limits, loss limits, VaR limits, sensitivity limits and scenario loss limits for each division, at the level of each individual business department.

F-52

The ALCO of Kookmin Bank determines the operational standards of interest and commission, the details of the establishment and prosecution of the Asset Liability Management (ALM) policies and enacts and amends relevant guidelines. The Risk Management Committee and Risk Management Council monitor the establishment and enforcement of ALM risk management policies, and enact and amend ALM risk management guidelines. The interest rate risk limit is set based on the future assets/liabilities position and interest rate volatility estimation reflects the annual work plan. The Financial Planning Department and Risk Management Department measures and monitors the interest risk status and limits on a regular basis. The status and limits of interest rate risks; such as, interest gap, duration gap and interest rate VaR (Value at Risk), are reported to the ALCO and Risk Management Council on a monthly basis and to the Risk Management Committee on a quarterly basis. To ensure adequacy of interest rate and liquidity risk management, the Risk Management Department assigns the limits, monitors and reviews the risk management procedures and tasks conducted by the Financial Planning Department. Also, the Risk Management Department independently reports related information to the management.

4.4.2 Trading Position

Definition of a trading position

Trading positions subject to market risk management are defined under the Trading Policy and Guideline, and the basic requirements are as follows:

• The trading position is not restricted for sale, is measured daily at fair value, and its significant inherent risks are able to be hedged in the market.

• The criteria for classification as a trading position are clearly defined in the Trading Policy and Guideline, and separately managed by the trading department.

• The trading position is operated in accordance with the documented trading strategy and managed through position limits.

• The operating department or professional dealers have an authority to enforce a deal on the trading position within predetermined limits withoutpre-approval.

• The trading position is reported periodically to management for the purpose of the Group’s risk management

Observation method on market risk arising from trading positions

Subsidiaries of the Group calculate VaR to measure the market risk by using market risk management systems on the entire trading portfolio. Generally, the Group manages market risk on the trading portfolio. In addition, the Group controls and manages the risk of derivative trading based on the regulations and guidelines formulated by the Financial Supervisory Service.

VaR (Value at Risk)

i. VaR (Value at Risk)

Kookmin Bank, one of the subsidiaries, uses thevalue-at-risk methodology to measure the market risk of trading positions. Kookmin Bank uses the10-day VaR, which estimates the maximum amount of loss that could occur in ten days under an historical simulation model which is considered to be a full valuation method. The distributions of portfolio’s value changes are estimated based on the data over the previous 250 business days, andten-day VaR is calculated by subtracting net present market value from the value measured at a 99% confident level of portfolio’s value distribution results.

VaR is a commonly used market risk measurement technique. However, the method has some shortcomings. VaR estimates possible losses over a certain period at a particular confidence level using past market movement

F-53

data. Past market movements are, however, not necessarily a good indicator of future events, as there may be conditions and circumstances in the future that the model does not anticipate. As a result, the timing and magnitude of the actual losses may vary depending on the assumptions made at the time of the calculation. In addition, the time periods used for the model, generally one or ten days, are assumed to be a sufficient holding period before liquidating the relevant underlying positions. If these holding periods are not sufficient, or too long, the VaR results may understate or overstate the potential loss.

A subsidiary which hold trading positions uses an internal model (VaR) to measure general risk, and a standard method to measure each individual risk. When the internal model is not permitted for certain market risk, the Group uses the standard method. Therefore, the market risk VaR may not reflect the market risk of each individual risk and some specific positions. And also, from this year,non-banking subsidiaries use the same standard method applied to measure regulatory capital for improvement of market risk VaR management utility (improvement of relation with regulatory capital).

ii. Back-Testing

Back-testing is conducted on a daily basis to validate the adequacy of the market risk model. In back-testing, the Group compares both the actual and hypothetical profit and loss with the VaR calculations.

iii. Stress Testing

Stress testing is carried out to analyze the impact of abnormal market situations on the trading andavailable-for-sale portfolio. It reflects changes in interest rates, stock prices, foreign exchange rates, implied volatilities of derivatives and other risk factors that have significant influence on the value of the portfolio. The Group uses historical scenarios and hypothetical scenarios for the analysis of abnormal market situations. Stress testing is performed at least once every year.

VaR at a 99% confidence level of interest rate, stock price and foreign exchange rate risk for trading positions with aten-day holding period by a subsidiary as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, are as follows:

Details of risk factors

i. Interest rate risk

Trading position interest rate risk usually arises from debt securities denominated in Korean won. The Group’s trading strategy is to benefit from short-term movements in the prices of debt securities arising from changes in interest rates. The Group manages interest rate risk on trading positions using market value-based tools such as VaR and sensitivity analysis (Price Value of a Basis Point: PVBP).

ii. Stock price risk

Stock price risk only arises from trading securities denominated in Korean won as the Group does not have any trading exposure to shares denominated in foreign currencies. The trading securities portfolio in Korean won are composed of exchange-traded stocks and derivative instruments linked to stock with strict limits on diversification.

iii. Foreign exchange rate risk

Foreign exchange rate risk arises from holding assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and foreign currency derivatives. Net foreign currency exposure mostly occurs from the foreign assets and liabilities which are denominated in US dollars and Chinese Yuan. The Group sets both loss limits and net foreign currency exposure limits and manages comprehensive net foreign exchange exposures which consider both trading andnon-trading portfolios.

4.4.3Non-trading position

Definition ofnon-trading position

Managed interest rate risk innon-trading position includeson- oroff-balance sheet assets, liabilities and derivatives that are sensitive to interest rate, except trading position for market risk. The interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are interest-bearing assets and liabilities that create interest income and expenses.

Observation method on market risk arising fromnon-trading position

Interest rate risk occurs due to mismatches on maturities and interest rate reset periods between interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Group manages the risk through measuring and managing interest rate VaR and EaR that are maximum expected decreases in net asset value (NPV) and net interest income (NII) for one year, respectively, arising from unfavorable changes in market interest rate.

F-56

Interest Rate VaR

Interest rate VaR is the maximum possible loss due to interest rate risk under a normal distribution at a 99.9% confidence level. The measurement results of risk as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, are as follows:

4.5 Operational Risk

4.5.1 Concept

The Group defines operational risk broadly to include all financial andnon-financial risks that may arise from operating activities and could cause a negative effect on capital.

4.5.2 Risk Management

The purpose of operational risk management is not only to comply with supervisory and regulatory requirements but also to promote a risk management culture, strengthen internal controls, innovate processes and provide timely feedback to management and employees. In addition, Kookmin Bank established Business Continuity Plans (BCP) to ensure critical business functions can be maintained, or restored, in the event of material disruptions arising from internal or external events. It has constructed replacement facilities as well as has carried out exercise drills for head office and IT departments to test its BCPs.

4.6. Capital Adequacy

The Group complies with the capital adequacy standard established by the Financial Services Commission. The capital adequacy standard is based on Basel III published by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Bank of International Settlements in June 2011, and was implemented in Korea in December 2013. The Group is required to maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of at least 5.375%(2015: 4.5%), a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 6.875%(2015: 6.0%) and a minimum Total Regulatory Capital of 8.875%(2015: 8.0%) as of December 31, 2016.

F-58

The Group’s equity capital is classified into three categories in accordance with the Supervisory Regulations and Detailed Supervisory Regulations on Financial Holding Companies:

• Common Equity Tier 1 Capital: Common equity Tier 1 Capital represents the issued capital that takes the first and proportionately greatest share of any losses and represents the most subordinated claim in liquidation of the Group, and not repaid outside of liquidation. It includes common shares issued, capital surplus, retained earnings,non-controlling interests of consolidated subsidiaries, accumulated other comprehensive income, other capital surplus and others.

• Additional Tier 1 Capital: Additional Tier 1 Capital includes (i) perpetual instruments issued by the Group that meet the criteria for inclusion in Additional Tier 1 capital, and (ii) stock surplus resulting from the issue of instruments included in Additional Tier 1 capital and others.

• Tier 2 Capital: Tier 2 Capital represents the capital that takes the proportionate share of losses in the liquidation of the Group. Tier 2 Capital includes a fund raised by issuing subordinated debentures maturing in not less than five years that meet the criteria for inclusion in Additional Tier 2 capital, and the allowance for loan losses which are accumulated for assets classified as normal or precautionary as a result of classification of asset soundness in accordance with Regulation on Supervision of Financial Holding Companies and others.

Risk weighted asset means the inherent risks in the total assets held by the Group. The Group calculates risk weighted asset by each risk (credit risk, market risk, and operational risk) based on the Supervisory Regulations and Detailed Supervisory Regulations on Financial Holding Companies and uses it for BIS ratio calculation.

The Group assesses and monitors its adequacy of capital by using the internal assessment and management policy of the capital adequacy. The assessment of the capital adequacy is conducted by comparing available capital (actual amount of available capital) and internal capital (amount of capital enough to cover all significant risks under target credit rate set by the Group). The Group monitors the soundness of finance and provides risk adjusted basis for performance review using the assessment of the capital adequacy.

Internal Capital is the amount of capital to prevent the inability of payment due to unexpected loss in the future. The Group measures, allocates and monitors internal capital by risk type and subsidiaries.

The Risk Management Council of the Group determines the Group’s risk appetite and allocates internal capital by risk type and subsidiary. Each subsidiary efficiently operates its capital within a range of allocated internal capital. The Risk Management Department of the Group monitors the limit on internal capital and reports the results to management and the Risk Management Council. The Group maintains the adequacy of capital through proactive review and approval of the Risk Management Committee when the internal capital is expected to exceed the limits due to new business or business expansion.

Details of the Group’s capital adequacy calculation in line with Basel III requirements as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, are as follows:

	2015		2016
	(In millions of Korean won)

The fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. For each class of financial assets and financial liabilities, the Group discloses the fair value of that class of assets and liabilities in a way that permits it to be compared with its carrying amount at the end of each reporting period. The best evidence of fair value of financial instruments is a quoted price in an active market.

F-64

Methods of determining fair value for financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and due from financial institutions	The carrying amounts of cash and demand due from financial institutions and payment due from financial institutions are a reasonable approximation of fair values. These financial instruments do not have a fixed maturity and are receivable on demand. Fair value of ordinary due from financial institutions is measured using DCF model (Discounted Cash Flow Model).
Investment securities	The fair value of financial instruments that are quoted in active markets is determined using the quoted prices. Fair value is determined through the use of external professional valuation institution where quoted prices are not available. The institutions use one or more of the following valuation techniques including DCF Model, Free Cash Flow to Equity Model, Comparable Company Analysis, Dividend Discount Model, Risk Adjusted Discount Rate Method, and Net Asset Value Method.
Loans	DCF model is used to determine the fair value of loans. Fair value is determined by discounting the expected cash flows, which are contractual cash flows adjusted by the expected prepayment rate, at appropriate discount rate.
Derivatives and Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss	For exchange traded derivatives, quoted price in an active market is used to determine fair value and for OTC derivatives, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses internally developed valuation models that are widely used by market participants to determine fair values of plain vanilla OTC derivatives including options, interest rate swaps, and currency swaps, based on observable market parameters. However, some complex financial instruments are valued using appropriate models developed from generally accepted market valuation models including the Finite Difference Method, the Monte Carlo Simulation, Black-Scholes Model, Hull and White Model, Closed Form and Tree Model or valuation results from independent external professional valuation institution.
Deposits	Carrying amount of demand deposits is regarded as representative of fair value because they do not have a fixed maturity and are payable on demand. Fair value of time deposits is determined using a DCF model. Fair value is determined by discounting the expected cash flows, which are contractual cash flows adjusted by the expected prepayment rate, at an appropriate discount rate.
Debts	Carrying amount of overdraft in foreign currency is regarded as representative of fair value because they do not have a fixed maturity and are payable on demand. Fair value of other debts is determined using a DCF model discounting contractual future cash flows at an appropriate discount rate.
Debentures	Fair value is determined by using the valuations of external professional valuation institution, which are calculated using market inputs.
Other financial assets and liabilities	The carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair values. These financial instruments are temporary accounts used for other various transactions and their maturities are relatively short or not defined. However, fair value of finance lease liabilities is measured using a DCF model.

Fair value hierarchy

The Group believes that valuation methods used for measuring the fair values of financial instruments are reasonable and that the fair values recognized in the statements of financial position are appropriate. However, the fair values of the financial instruments recognized in the statements of financial position may be different if other valuation methods or assumptions are used. Additionally, as there is a variety of valuation techniques and assumptions used in measuring fair value, it may be difficult to reasonably compare the fair value with that of other financial institutions.

The Group classifies and discloses fair value of the financial instruments into the three-level hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: The fair values are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: The fair values are based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety shall be determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement.

¹  The amounts of equity securities carried at cost in “Level 3”, which do not have a quoted market price in an active market and cannot be measured reliably at fair value, are ￦121,683 million and ￦223,398 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. These equity securities are carried at cost because it is practically difficult to quantify the intrinsic values of the equity securities issued by unlisted public andnon-profit entities. In addition, due to significant fluctuations in estimated cash flows arising from entities being in its initial stages, which further results in varying and unpredictable probabilities, unlisted equity securities issued by project financing cannot be reliably and reasonably assessed. Therefore, these equity securities are carried at cost. The Group has no plan to sell these instruments in the near future.

6.2 Level 3 of the Fair Value Hierarchy Disclosure

6.2.1 Valuation Policy and Process for Fair Value Measurement Categorized Within Level 3.

The Group uses external, independent and qualified professional valuer’s valuation to determine the fair value of the Group’s assets at the end of every reporting period.

Where a reclassification between the levels of the fair value hierarchy occurs for a financial asset or liability, the Group’s policy is to recognize such transfers as having occurred at the beginning of the reporting period.

Sensitivity analysis of changes in unobservable inputs

Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments is performed to measure favorable and unfavorable changes in the fair value of financial instruments which are affected by the unobservable parameters, using a statistical technique. When the fair value is affected by more than two input parameters, the amounts represent the most favorable or most unfavorable. Level 3 financial instruments subject to sensitivity analysis are equity-related derivatives, currency-related derivatives and interest rate-related derivatives whose fair value changes are recognized in profit or loss as well as debt securities and unlisted equity securities (including private equity funds) whose fair value changes are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

The results of the sensitivity analysis from changes in inputs are as follows:

¹  For financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in fair value are calculated by shifting principal unobservable input parameters such Volatility of the underlying asset or Correlation between underlying asset by ± 10%.

²  For stock and index-related derivatives, the changes in fair value are calculated by shifting principal unobservable input parameters such as the correlation of rates of return on stocks and the volatility of the underlying asset by ± 10%. For currency-related derivatives, the changes in fair value are calculated by shifting the unobservable input parameters, such as the loss given default ratio by ± 1%. For interest rate-related derivatives, the correlation of the interest rates or the volatility of the underlying asset is shifted by ± 10% to calculate the fair value changes.

³ For debt securities,the changes in fair value are calculated by shifting principal unobservable input parameters; such as, discount rate by ± 1%.

⁴  For equity securities, the changes in fair value are calculated by shifting principal unobservable input parameters such as correlation between growth rate (0~0.5%) and discount rate, liquidation value(-1~1%) and discount rate, or recovery rate of receivables’ acquisition cost(-1~1%). Sensitivity of fair values to unobservable parameters of private equity fund is practically impossible, but in the case of equity fund composed of real estates, the changes in fair value are calculated by shifting correlation between discount rate(-1~1%) and volatilities of real estate price(-1~1%).

6.2.4 Day One Gain or Loss

If the Group uses a valuation technique that incorporates data not obtained from observable markets for the fair value at initial recognition of financial instruments, there could be a difference between the transaction price and the amount determined using that valuation technique. In these circumstances, the fair value of financial instruments is recognized as the transaction price, and the difference is deferred and not recognized in profit or loss, and is amortized by using the straight-line method over the life of the financial instrument. When the fair value of the financial instruments is subsequently determined using observable market inputs, the remaining deferred amount is recognized in profit or loss.

The aggregate difference yet to be recognized in profit or loss at the beginning and end of the period and a reconciliation of changes in the balance of this difference for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, are as follows:

	2015			2016

¹ The Company has an obligation to early redeem the asset-backed debentures upon occurrence of an event specified in the agreement such as when the outstanding balance of the eligible asset-backed securitization (ABS), a trust-type ABS, is below the solvency margin ratio(minimum rate: 104.5%) of the beneficiary interest in the trust. In addition, the Company can entrust additional eligible card transaction accounts and deposits. To avoid such early redemption, the Company entrusts accounts and deposits in addition to the previously entrusted card accounts. Accordingly, as asset-backed debenture holders’ recourse is not limited to the underlying assets, the fair value is not disclosed.

² According to the liquidity facility agreement entered between the Special Purpose Companies (SPC) and Woori Bank and NH Bank, if the senior debentures cannot be redeemed by the underlying assets, the senior debentures should be redeemed by borrowings from the liquidity facilities. Accordingly, as senior debenture holders’ recourse is not limited to the underlying assets, the fair value is not disclosed.

The Group transferred the shares of Hyundai Elevator Co., Ltd. to Natixis bank for ￦46,364 million and entered into Total Return Swap contract. In accordance with the agreement, if the stock price of the transferred asset changes, the risk is attributed to the Group first.

Securities under repurchase agreements and loaned securities

The Group continues to recognize the financial assets related to repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions on the statements of financial position since those transactions are not qualified for derecognition even though the Group transfers the financial assets. A financial asset is sold under a repurchase agreement to repurchase the same asset at a fixed price, or loaned under a securities lending agreement to be returned as the same asset.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

The Group’s derivative operations focus on addressing the needs of the Group’s corporate clients to hedge their risk exposure and to hedge the Group’s risk exposure that results from such client contracts. The Group also

F-92

engages in derivative trading activities to hedge the interest rate and foreign currency risk exposures that arise from the Group’s own assets and liabilities. In addition, the Group engages in proprietary trading of derivatives within the Group’s regulated open position limits.

The Group provides and trades a range of derivatives products, including:

• Interest rate swaps, relating to interest rate risks in Korean won

• Cross-currency swaps, forwards and options relating to foreign exchange rate risks,

• Stock price index options linked with the KOSPI index.

In particular, the Group applies fair value hedge accounting using cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and others to hedge the risk of changes in fair values due to the changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates of structured debts in Korean won, financial debentures in foreign currencies, structured deposits in Korean won, and structured deposits in foreign currencies. In addition, the Group applies net investment hedge accounting by designating financial debentures in foreign currencies as hedging instruments to hedge foreign exchange risks on net investments in foreign operations.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, based on management’s analysis, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination for impairment testing, and cash-generating units consist of an operating segment or units which are not larger than an operating segment. The Group recognized the amount of ￦65,288 million related to goodwill acquired in the merger of Housing & Commercial Bank. Of those respective amounts, the amounts of ￦49,315 million and ￦15,973 million were allocated to the Retail Banking and Corporate Banking, respectively. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amount of the unit, including the goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the unit.

The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is measured at the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal. If it is difficult to measure the amount obtainable from the sale, the Group measures the fair value less costs to sell by reflecting the characteristics of the measured cash-generating unit. If it is not possible to obtain reliable information to measure the fair value less costs to sell, the Group uses the asset’s value in use as its recoverable amount. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit. The projections of the future cash flows are based on the most recent financial budget approved by management and generally cover a period of five years. The future cash flows after projection period are estimated on the assumption that the future cash flows will increase by 1.0% for all other cash-generating units. The key assumptions used for the estimation of the future cash flows are the market size and the Group’s market share. The discount rate is apre-tax rate that reflects assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, market risk premium and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted.

24. Net Defined Benefit Liabilities

Defined benefit plan

The Group operates defined benefit plans which have the following characteristics:

• The Group has the obligation to pay the agreed benefits to all its current and former employees.

• Actuarial risk (that benefits will cost more than expected) and investment risk fall, in substance, on the Group.

The defined benefit liability recognized in the statements of financial position is calculated by independent actuaries in accordance with actuarial valuation methods.

The net defined benefit obligation is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit method (the ‘PUC’). Data used in the PUC such as interest rates, future salary increase rate, mortality rate and consumer price index are based on observable market data and historical data which are updated annually.

Actuarial assumptions may differ from actual results, due to changes in the market, economic trends and mortality trends which may impact defined benefit liabilities and future payments. Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period incurred through other comprehensive income.

Changes in the net defined benefit liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, are as follows:

Salary increase rate (%)	0.00 ~ 7.50	0.00 ~ 7.50
Turnover (%)	0.00 ~ 27.00	0.00 ~ 29.00

Mortality assumptions are based on the experience-based mortality table of Korea Insurance Development Institute of 2015.

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions as of December 31, 2016, are as follows:

	Changes in principal assumption		Effect on net defined benefit obligation
			Increase in principal assumption	Decrease in principal assumption
Discount rate (%)		0.5 p.	3.96 decrease	4.24 increase
Salary increase rate (%)		0.5 p.	3.95 increase	3.72 decrease
Turnover (%)		0.5 p.	0.33 decrease	0.34 increase

F-132

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in principal actuarial assumptions is calculated using the projected unit credit method, the same method applied when calculating the defined benefit obligations recognized on the statement of financial position.

37.4 Insurance Risk

Summary of insurance risk

Insurance risk is the risk of loss arising from the actual risk at the time of claims exceeding the estimated risk at the time of underwriting. Insurance risk is classified by insurance price risk and policy reserve risk.

Insurance price risk is the risk of loss arising from differences between premiums from policyholders and actual claims paid.

Policy reserve risk is the risk of loss arising from differences between policy reserves the Group holds and actual claims to be paid.

F-153

Concentration of insurance risk and reinsurance policy

The Group uses reinsurance with the intent to expand the ability of underwriting insurance contracts through mitigating the exposure to insurance risk, and generates synergy by joint development of products, management discipline and collecting information on foreign markets.

The Group cedes reinsurance for mortality, illness and other risks arising from insurance contracts where the Group has little experience for a necessary period of time required to accumulate experience.

The Group’s reinsurance is ceded through the following process:

i. In the decision-making process of launching a new product, the Group makes a decision on ceding reinsurance. Subsequently, a reinsurer is selected through bidding, agreements with the relevant departments and final approval by the executive management.

ii. The reinsurance department analyzes the object of reinsurance, the maximum limit of reinsurance and the loss ratio with the relevant departments.

The characteristic and exposure of insurance price risk

The insurance risk of a life insurance company is measured by insurance price risk. As the life insurance coverage is in the form of a fixed payment, the fluctuation of policy reserve is small and the period from insured event to claims payment is not long. The policy reserve risk is managed by assessments of adequacy of the policy reserve.

The Group measures the exposure of insurance price risk as the shortfall of the risk premiums received compared to the claims paid on all insurance contracts for the last one year preceding the reporting date.

The maximum exposure of premium risk as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, follows:
