IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS
Prospective investors should be aware that certain intermediaries in the context of this offering of the Notes, including certain underwriters, are “capital market intermediaries” (“CMIs”) subject to Paragraph 21 of the SFC Code of Conduct for Persons Licensed by or Registered with the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (the “SFC Code”). This notice to prospective investors is a summary of certain obligations the SFC Code imposes on such CMIs, which require the attention and cooperation of prospective investors. Certain CMIs may also be acting as “overall coordinators” (“OCs”) for this offering and are subject to additional requirements under the SFC Code.
S-4
Table of Contents
Prospective investors who are the directors, employees or major shareholders of The Export-Import Bank of Korea (the “Issuer”), a CMI or its group companies would be considered under the SFC Code as having an association (“Association”) with the Issuer, the CMI or the relevant group company. Prospective investors associated with the Issuer or any CMI (including its group companies) should specifically disclose this when placing an order for the Notes and should disclose, at the same time, if such orders may negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to this offering.
Prospective investors who do not disclose their Associations are hereby deemed not to be so associated. Where prospective investors disclose their Associations but do not disclose that such order may negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to this offering, such order is hereby deemed not to negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to this offering. Prospective investors should ensure, and by placing an order prospective investors are deemed to confirm, that orders placed are bona fide, are not inflated and do not constitute duplicated orders (i.e., two or more corresponding or identical orders placed via two or more CMIs). If a prospective investor is an asset management arm affiliated with any underwriter, such prospective investor should indicate when placing an order if it is for a fund or portfolio where the underwriter or its group company has more than a 50 per cent. interest, in which case it will be classified as a “proprietary order” and subject to appropriate handling by CMIs in accordance with the SFC Code and should disclose, at the same time, if such “proprietary order” may negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to this offering. Prospective investors who do not indicate this information when placing an order are hereby deemed to confirm that their order is not a “proprietary order”. If a prospective investor is otherwise affiliated with any underwriter, such that its order may be considered to be a “proprietary order” (pursuant to the SFC Code), such prospective investor should indicate to the relevant underwriter when placing such order. Prospective investors who do not indicate this information when placing an order are hereby deemed to confirm that their order is not a “proprietary order”. Where prospective investors disclose such information but do not disclose that such “proprietary order” may negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to this offering, such “proprietary order” is hereby deemed not to negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to this offering.
Prospective investors should be aware that certain information may be disclosed by CMIs (including private banks) which is personal and/or confidential in nature to the prospective investor. By placing an order, prospective investors are deemed to have understood and consented to the collection, disclosure, use and transfer of such information by the underwriters and/or any other third parties as may be required by the SFC Code, including to the Issuer, any OCs, relevant regulators and/or any other third parties as may be required by the SFC Code, it being understood and agreed that such information shall only be used for the purpose of complying with the SFC Code, during the bookbuilding process for this offering.

Form and settlement
We will issue each series of the Notes in the form of one or more fully registered global notes, registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. Except as described in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of the Securities—Description of Debt Securities—Global Securities,” the global notes will not be exchangeable for Notes in definitive registered form, and will not be issued in definitive registered form. Financial institutions, acting as direct and indirect participants in DTC, will represent your beneficial interests in the global notes. These financial institutions will record the ownership and transfer of your beneficial interest through book-entry accounts.

We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional debt securities with the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes.

Project Evaluation and Selection Process
Under our project evaluation and selection process, the Eligible Projects or Assets will be identified and selected using the criteria indicated above by our Sustainable Finance Working Group, which is composed of representatives from our Treasury, ESG Management, Credit Policy, Engineering & Environment Advisory and Finance departments. The Sustainable Finance Working Group will review and monitor the allocation of net proceeds from the sale of the 2027 Sustainability Notes on an annual basis, and as necessary, to ensure that the proceeds are allocated to Eligible Projects or Assets in accordance with our Sustainable Finance Framework.
Management of Proceeds
An amount equal to the net proceeds from the issue of the 2027 Sustainability Notes will be deposited in our general funding accounts and earmarked for allocation to Eligible Projects or Assets. We will monitor and track the allocation of the net proceeds from the 2027 Sustainability Notes through our internal records.
Any balance of the net proceeds from the 2027 Sustainability Notes not yet allocated to Eligible Projects or Assets may be managed in cash or cash equivalents or used to repay existing borrowings under our general credit facilities.
Reporting
We will publish a report on the allocation of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2027 Sustainability Notes within one year from the date of issuance of the 2027 Sustainability Notes and annually thereafter until the proceeds from the sale of the 2027 Sustainability Notes have been fully allocated, and as necessary in the event of any material developments. Such reports will include allocation information, such as the aggregate amount allocated to Eligible Projects or Assets, examples of such Eligible Projects or Assets (subject to our confidentiality obligations) and the remaining balance of unallocated proceeds. Impact reporting will be disclosed where possible and will include relevant environmental and/or social impacts associated with the Eligible Projects or Assets that were funded with the net proceeds from the sale of the 2027 Sustainability Notes (the “Impact Reports”).
External Review
DNV, an external consultant, has issued an opinion dated May 12, 2023 on our Sustainable Finance Framework (the “Second Party Opinion”). An independent verifier will also be issuing verification reports
S-10
Table of Contents
(“Verification Reports”) on the allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds from the issue of the 2027 Sustainability Notes on an annual basis, and more frequently in case of any material changes, starting one year after the issuance of the 2027 Sustainability Notes until full allocation. Our Sustainable Finance Framework, the Second Party Opinion and the Impact Reports are, and the Verification Reports will be, publicly available on the following website: https://www.koreaexim.go.kr/he/HPHEOM022M01.
Investment Considerations
The 2027 Sustainability Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors seeking exposure to “green” or “social” assets. We will allocate an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Sustainability Notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, new or existing Eligible Projects or Assets as described in “Use of Proceeds from the Sale of the 2027 Sustainability Notes” above in accordance with our Sustainable Finance Framework, which may be updated from time to time and is currently in alignment with the Green Bond Principles 2021, Social Bond Principles 2021 and Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021 published by the International Capital Markets Association, as well as the Sustainable Blue Economy Finance Principles hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme – Finance Initiative. The examples of Eligible Projects or Assets provided in “Use of Proceeds from the Sale of the 2027 Sustainability Notes” above are for illustrative purposes only and no assurance can be provided by us or any of the Underwriters that disbursements for projects with these specific characteristics will be made by us during the term of the 2027 Sustainability Notes. Our Sustainable Finance Framework is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.
There is currently no market consensus on what precise attributes are required for a particular project or series of notes to be defined as “green” or “social,” and therefore, no assurance can be provided by us or any of the Underwriters to potential investors that selected Eligible Projects or Assets will continue to meet the relevant eligibility criteria or any present or future investor expectations or requirements regarding environmental performance or sustainability impact. Although Eligible Projects or Assets are expected to be selected in accordance with the categories recognized under our Sustainable Finance Framework and are expected to be developed in accordance with relevant legislation and standards, there can be no guarantee that the projects will deliver the environmental or social benefits as anticipated, or that adverse environmental or social impacts will not occur during the design, construction, commissioning and operation of any such projects. In addition, where any negative impacts are insufficiently mitigated, the projects may become controversial and may be criticized by activist groups or other stakeholders.
The Second Party Opinion may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to the structure, market, additional risks discussed above and other factors that may affect the value of the 2027 Sustainability Notes. The Second Party Opinion is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is only current as of the date that the Second Party Opinion was initially issued and may be updated, suspended or withdrawn at any time. Currently, the providers of second party opinions and certifications are not subject to any regulatory regime or oversight. In addition, although we have agreed to certain reporting and use of proceeds obligations in connection with certain environmental and social criteria, our failure to comply with such obligations does not constitute a breach or an event of default under the 2027 Sustainability Notes. A withdrawal of the Second Party Opinion or any failure by us to use an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Sustainability Notes on Eligible Projects or Assets or to meet or continue to meet the investment requirements of certain environmentally- or socially-focused investors with respect to the 2027 Sustainability Notes may affect the value of the 2027 Sustainability Notes and may have consequences for certain investors with portfolio mandates to invest in “green” or “social” assets. The Second Party Opinion is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.
In the event that the 2027 Sustainability Notes are included in any dedicated “green,” “social,” “environmental,” “sustainable” or other similarly-labelled index, no assurance is given by us or any other person that such listing or admission, or inclusion in such index, satisfies any present or future investor expectations or
S-11
Table of Contents
requirements as regards to any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or its investments are required to comply, whether by any present or future applicable laws or regulations or by its own constitutive documents or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates. Each potential investor should carefully consider the factors described in the Sustainable Finance Framework. None of us or the Underwriters make any representation as to whether the 2027 Sustainability Notes fulfil the relevant environmental or social criteria or that an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the 2027 Sustainability Notes will be used for Eligible Projects or Assets.

For the first nine months of 2023, we had net income ofW932 billion compared toW584 billion for the corresponding period of 2022, primarily due to a change to a reversal of impairment loss on credit ofW359 billion for the first nine months of 2023 from an additional impairment loss on credit ofW184 billion for the corresponding period of 2022, mainly reflecting a general improvement in the overall asset quality of our loan portfolio in the first nine months of 2023. Such effect was in part offset by a change to net other operating expenses ofW15 billion for the first nine months of 2023 from net other operating income ofW149 billion for the corresponding period of 2022, primarily due to a change to net losses on fair value hedged items ofW12 billion for the first nine months of 2023 from net gains on fair value hedged items ofW151 billion for the corresponding period of 2022.
As of September 30, 2023, our total assets increased toW128,901 billion fromW122,070 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in Loan Credits toW94,323 billion as of September 30, 2023 fromW91,725 billion as of December 31, 2022 and an increase in cash and due from financial institutions toW11,079 billion as of September 30, 2023 fromW9,931 billion as of December 31, 2022.
As of September 30, 2023, our total liabilities increased toW110,257 billion fromW106,634 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in debentures toW94,421 billion as of September 30, 2023 fromW87,792 billion as of December 31, 2022.
The increases in assets and liabilities were primarily due to increases in the volume of loans and debt, respectively. The depreciation of the Won against the U.S. dollar as of September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 magnified the effect of the increases in the volume of loans and debt, as a majority of our assets and liabilities consisted of foreign currency loans and debt (including significant percentages in U.S. dollars).
As of September 30, 2023, our total shareholders’ equity increased toW18,645 billion fromW15,436 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in capital stock toW14,773 billion as of September 30, 2023 fromW12,773 billion as of December 31, 2022 due to the Government’s contribution ofW2,000 billion to our capital in the form of shares of Korea Land and Housing Corporation in March 2023, and an increase in retained earnings toW2,849 billion as of September 30, 2023 fromW2,051 billion as of December 31, 2022.
Based on preliminary data, our capital adequacy ratio as of September 30, 2023, on a consolidated basis, was 14.8%, an increase from 13.4% as of December 31, 2022.

For the first half of 2023, we had net income ofW949 billion compared toW486 billion for the corresponding period of 2022. The principal factors for the increase in net income included (i) a change to net gains on hedging derivative assets ofW387 billion for the first half of 2023 from net losses on hedging derivative assets ofW2,710 billion for the corresponding period of 2022 and (ii) a change to a reversal of impairment loss on credit ofW434 billion for the first half of 2023 from an additional impairment loss on credit ofW94 billion for the corresponding period of 2022, mainly reflecting a general improvement in the overall asset quality of our loan portfolio in the first nine months of 2023.
The above factors were largely offset by (i) an 87% decrease in net other operating income toW323 billion for the first half of 2023 fromW2,489 billion for the corresponding period of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in net gains on fair value hedged items toW324 billion for the first half of 2023 fromW2,481 billion for the corresponding period of 2022 and (ii) a change to net losses on foreign exchange transactions ofW513 billion for the first half of 2023 from net gains on foreign exchange transactions ofW476 billion for the corresponding period of 2022, mainly as a result of higher exchange rate volatility in the first half of 2023 compared to the corresponding period of 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, our total assets increased toW127,392 billion fromW122,070 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in cash and due from financial institutions to W15,286 billion as of June 30, 2023 from W9,931 billion as of December 31, 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, our total liabilities increased toW108,762 billion fromW106,634 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in debentures toW93,174 billion as of June 30, 2023 fromW87,792 billion as of December 31, 2022, the effect of which was offset in large part by a decrease in borrowings toW6,424 billion as of June 30, 2023 fromW10,113 billion as of December 31, 2022.
The depreciation of the Won against the U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 magnified the effect of the increase in the volume of cash and due from financial institutions and debentures, as a majority of such assets and liabilities were denominated in foreign currencies (including significant percentages in U.S. dollars).
As of June 30, 2023, our total shareholders’ equity increased toW18,630 billion fromW15,436 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in capital stock toW14,773 billion as of June 30, 2023 fromW12,773 billion as of December 31, 2022 due to the Government’s contribution ofW2,000 billion to our capital in the form of shares of Korea Land and Housing Corporation in March 2023, and an increase in retained earnings toW2,865 billion as of June 30, 2023 fromW2,051 billion as of December 31, 2022.
Operations
Loan Operations
In the first half of 2023, we provided total loans ofW31,356 billion, a decrease of 3.5% from the corresponding period of 2022.
Export Credits
As of June 30, 2023, export credits in the amount ofW38,281 billion represented 43.2% of our total outstanding Loan Credits. Our disbursements of export credits amounted toW16,777 billion in the first half of 2023, a decrease of 5.1% from the corresponding period of 2022, which was mainly due to a decrease in demand for loan and trade financing from domestic exporters. The depreciation of the Won against the U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022 partially offset the effect of the decrease in the volume of export credits in the first half of 2023, as a majority of our export credits consisted of foreign currency credits (including a significant percentage in U.S. dollars).
Overseas Investment Credits
As of June 30, 2023, overseas investment credits amounted toW37,419 billion, representing 42.3% of our total outstanding Loan Credits. Our disbursements of overseas investment credits in the first half of 2023 decreased by 16.1% toW7,452 billion from the corresponding period of 2022, primarily due to decreased demand in overseas investment and project credits. The depreciation of the Won against the U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022 partially offset the effect of the decrease in the volume of overseas investment credits in the first half of 2023, as a majority of our overseas investment credits consisted of foreign currency credits (including a significant percentage in U.S. dollars).
Import Credits
As of June 30, 2023, import credits in the amount ofW9,994 billion represented 11.3% of our total outstanding Loan Credits. Our disbursements of import credits amounted toW7,127 billion in the first half of 2023, an increase of 20.2% over the corresponding period of 2022, which was mainly due to an increase in

demand for financing for raw materials used for export and domestic consumption. The depreciation of the Won against the U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022 magnified the effect of the increase in the volume of import credits in the first half of 2023, as a majority of our import credits consisted of foreign currency credits (including a significant percentage in U.S. dollars).
Guarantee Operations
Guarantee commitments as of June 30, 2023 increased toW55,545 billion fromW53,388 billion as of December 31, 2022. Guarantees we had confirmed as of June 30, 2023 increased toW40,919 billion fromW39,373 billion as of December 31, 2022.

Economic Sanctions
The sixth paragraph under “The Export-Import Bank of Korea—Description of Assets and Liabilities—Economic Sanctions” in the accompanying prospectus shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“We engage in limited business related to Russia, including dealings with the government of the Russian Federation under a legacy loan arrangement, the extension of credit to two Russian financial institutions that have been designated for U.S. (but not Singaporean) blocking sanctions and a guarantee arrangement involving a Russian company that has become subject to U.S. (but not Singaporean) sanctions.”
The eighth paragraph under “The Export-Import Bank of Korea—Description of Assets and Liabilities—Economic Sanctions” in the accompanying prospectus shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“Our arrangements with two Russian financial institutions, which involve the extension of credit and have historically included dealings in U.S. dollars involving U.S. financial institutions, were all in place prior to February 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the two Russian financial institutions owed us approximately US$200 million. The provisioning level we established for that credit exposure as of September 30, 2023 was 92.7%. Our dealings with the Russian financial institutions have been conducted at all times in full compliance with applicable sanctions. In 2022, we paused all dealings with the Russian financial institutions, and such dealings remain paused, meaning we have not engaged in any additional dealings (including any payments under the credit arrangements) with the Russian financial institutions since June 2022 (even if the contemplated transactions would not have been prohibited or restricted by applicable sanctions) and we are currently unable to accept any payments from the Russian financial institutions under the credit arrangements. We are continuing to evaluate these credit arrangements and will only engage in additional dealings with the two relevant Russian financial institutions that are fully compliant with applicable sanctions.”
The last paragraph under “The Export-Import Bank of Korea—Description of Assets and Liabilities—Economic Sanctions” in the accompanying prospectus shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“We entered into a guarantee arrangement in 2020 that involves a Russian company that became subject to U.S. sanctions in 2023. To date, we have made no payments to the Russian company under the guarantee arrangement. Our maximum liability under the guarantee arrangement, which will expire in 2025, is less than EUR 2 million. We will only engage in dealings under the guarantee arrangement that are fully compliant with applicable sanctions.
We do not have any other dealings with the government of the Russian Federation, any Russian Federation government stated-owned entities, or any other sanctioned Russian parties.”

2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
(1) | Basis of condensed separate financial statement preparation |
These condensed separate interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as part of the period covered by the Bank’s K-IFRS annual financial statements. These condensed separate interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.
These financial statements are separate financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No.1027, ‘Separate Financial Statements’ presented by a parent, an investor with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee, in which the investments are accounted for at cost.
The Bank’s accounting policies applied for the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied for the preparation of separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(2) | Functional Currency |
Items included in the separate financial statements in the Bank are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The separate financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Bank’s functional and presentation currency.

Table of Contents
(3) | New and amended standards and interpretation adopted by the Bank |
The Bank has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commenced January 1, 2023.
1) | Amendments to K-IFRS No.1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – Disclosure of ‘Accounting Policies’ |
It defines significant accounting policy information and mandates its disclosure. The amendment to this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
2) | Amendments to K-IFRS No.1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – Disclosure of Gains and Losses from Financial Liabilities with Exercise Price Adjustment Conditions |
It mandates the disclosure of the book value and related gains or losses of financial liabilities when a part or all of financial instruments with conditions that adjust the exercise price based on the issuer’s stock price fluctuations are classified as financial liabilities. The amendment to this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
3) | Amendments to K-IFRS No.1008 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’ – Definition of ‘Accounting Estimates’ |
It defines accounting estimates and clarifies the method of distinguishing them from changes in accounting policies. The amendment to this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
4) | Amendments to K-IFRS No.1012 ‘Income Taxes’ – Deferred Income Taxes on Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction |
It added a condition that a transaction does not generate taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences at the same time of the transaction to the initial recognition exception requirements of a transaction where assets or liabilities are first recognized. The amendment to this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on financial statements.
(4) | New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Bank |
The following new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2023 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Bank.
Amendments to K-IFRS No.1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the substantive rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise the right to defer settlement of the liability or the management’s expectations thereof. Also, the settlement of liability includes the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments; however, it would be excluded if an option to settle the liability by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments is recognized separately from the liability as an equity component of a compound financial instrument. The amendments should be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and earlier application is permitted. The Bank does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.
3. | SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS: |
The preparation of separate financial statements requires the application of accounting policies, especially certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that may have a significant impact on assets
S-31
Table of Contents
(liabilities) and income (expenses). The management’s estimate of outcome may differ from an actual outcome if the management’s estimates and assumptions based on its best judgment at the reporting date are different from the actual environment.
Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and the 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, or the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both. Significant judgments are the same as those applied in preparation of the annual separate financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

4-3. Liquidity risk
(1) | Overview of liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to meet its payment obligations arising from financial liabilities as they become due. The Bank discloses all financial asset, financial liabilities and off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments and analysis of the contractual maturity, which are related to liquidity risk, into seven categories. The cash flows disclosed in the maturity analysis are undiscounted contractual amounts, including principal and future interest, which resulted in disagreement with the discounted cash flows included in the separate statements of financial position. However, for derivatives, each discounted cash flow consisting of current fair value is presented.

(2) | Principles of the liquidity risk management |
1) | Liquidity risk is managed with integration. The Bank measures, reports and controls liquidity risk by quantification with reasonable method. |
2) | Liquidity risk reflects financing plans and fund-using plans, and the Bank reports the liquidity risk with preciseness, timeliness and consistency. |
3) | The Bank establishes liquidity risk management strategy by analyzing liquidity maturity, liquidity gap structure and market environment. |
(3) | Liquidity risk management |
Risk management department monitors changes by liquidity risk sources and compliance of risk limits. It notifies related departments to prepare countermeasures in case the measured liquidity risk is close to risk limits. Also, it analyzes crisis situations and effects of the crisis situations and reports to the Risk Management Committee on a regular basis. Each related department monitors changes of liquidity risk sources and compliance of risk limits by itself and if exposure to new risk is expected, it discusses the matter with the head of risk management department.

4-4. Market risk
(1) | Overview of market risk |
1) | Definition of market risk |
Market risk is the risk of possible losses that arise from the changes of market factors, such as interest rate, stock price, foreign exchange rate, commodity value. The Bank classifies exposures to market risk into either foreign exchange rate risk or interest rate risk. Foreign exchange risk is the possible losses on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies due to changes of foreign exchange rate. Interest rate risk is the possible losses on assets and liabilities due to changes of interest rate.
2) | Market risk management group |
The Bank operates the Risk Management Committee and the Risk Management Council for managing risks and risk limits. The Risk Management Practices Committee assists the Risk Management Committee and the Risk Management Council for practical matters, such as managing adequate assets and liabilities by analyzing foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and effects by initiating new product. Market risk is managed by product and currency for minimizing segments exposed to changes of foreign exchange, interest rate and securities’ price. Foreign exchange risk is measured by definite method. Interest rate risk is measured by IRRBB standards, definite method and probabilistic method and definite method is used for limits management. Meanwhile, the Bank performs financial crisis analysis supposing exceptional, but possible events for evaluating latent weakness. The analysis is used for important decision making, such as risk mitigation, emergency plan development and limit setup. The results of the analysis are reported to the board of directors and management on a quarterly basis.
(2) | Foreign exchange risk |
1) | Management of foreign exchange risk |
Foreign exchange risk management limit is set up and a risk management division head monitors changes of foreign exchange risk by source and compliance of risk limits regularly. A finance division head also monitors changes of foreign exchange risk by source and compliance of risk limits. The finance division
S-42
Table of Contents
head needs to cooperate with the risk management division head in case it is expected that the Bank will be exposed to a new risk. The risk management division head orders related divisions to prepare countermeasures in case it is apprehended that foreign exchange risk exceeds risk limit. If foreign exchange risk exceeds the risk limit, the risk management division head orders related divisions to prepare countermeasures and reports to Risk Management Committee after resolving the exceeded limit problem.
2) | Measurement of foreign exchange risk |
Foreign exchange risk is managed by foreign exchange VaR and foreign exchange position. Foreign exchange VaR is measured on a monthly basis and foreign exchange position is measured on a daily basis. It is measured separately by currency for assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies exceeding 5% of total assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
3) | Measurement method |
Value at Risk (VaR) |
The Bank uses a yearly VaR to measure market risk. The yearly VaR is a statistically estimated maximum amount of loss that could occur in one year under normal distribution of financial variables. The Bank calculates VaR using equal weighted-average method based on historical changes in market rates, prices and volatilities over the previous five years data and measures VaR at a 99% single tail confidence level. VaR is a commonly used market risk management technique. However, the method has 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 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 day or 10 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.
Stress testing |
The stress testing is carried out to analyze the abnormal market situation reflecting intrinsic volatility of foreign exchange that has significant influent on the value of portfolio.
Results of measurement |
Results of foreign exchange VaR as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows (Korean won in millions):

(3) | Interest rate risk in bank account |
1) | Management of interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk management limit is set up and included in internal capital management limit. A risk management division head monitors changes of interest rate risk by source and compliance of risk limits regularly. A finance division head also monitors changes of interest rate risk by source and compliance of risk limits. The finance division head needs to cooperate with the risk management division head in case it
S-43

is expected that the Bank will be exposed to a new risk. The risk management division head orders related divisions to prepare countermeasures in case it is apprehended that interest rate risk exceeds risk limit. If interest rate risk exceeds the risk limit, the risk management division head orders related divisions to prepare countermeasures and reports to Risk Management Committee after resolving the exceeded limit problem.
2) | Measurement of interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk is managed by measuring ΔNII (Change in Net Interest Income) and ΔEVE (Change in Economic Value of Equity) and uses interest rate sensitivity gap and duration gap as supplementary index. ΔNII and ΔEVE are measured on a monthly basis, and interest rate sensitivity gap and duration gap are measured on a daily basis. The Bank simulates analysis reflecting market environment, product features and the Bank’s strategies.
3) | Measurement method |
Change in Economic Value of Equity (ΔEVE) |
The Bank uses a yearly ΔEVE to measure interest rate risk. The yearly ΔEVE is the maximum amount of loss that could occur in one year under normal distribution of financial variables. The Bank calculates the yearly ΔEVE by using variance-covariance method at a 99% single tail confidence level based on the previous five years data using equal weighted-average method.
ΔEVE 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 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.
Stress testing |
The stress testing is carried out to analyze the abnormal market situation reflecting intrinsic volatility of interest rate that has significant influence on the value of portfolio and is performed at least once in every quarter.

4-5. Capital risk
The Bank follows the standard of capital adequacy established by the Financial Services Commission. The standard is based on Basel III, which was established by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in BIS. In Korea, this standard has been followed since December 2013. According to the standard, the Bank should maintain at least 8% or above of BIS capital ratio for risk-weighted asset, and quarterly report BIS capital ratio to the FSS.
S-44
Table of Contents
According to Korean Banking Supervision rules for operations, the Bank’s capitals are mainly divided into two categories:
(1) | Tier 1 capital (basic capital): Basic capital is composed of capital stock-common and other basic capital. Capital stock-common includes common stock satisfied with qualifications, capital surplus, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, other reserves and non-controlling interests among the common stock of consolidated subsidiaries. Other basic capital includes securities and capital surplus satisfied with qualifications |
(2) | Tier 2 capital (supplementary capital): Supplementary capital is composed of the securities and capital surplus satisfied with qualifications, non-controlling interests among the securities of consolidated subsidiaries and the amounts of less than below 1.25% of credit risk-weighted asset like allowance for credit losses in respect of credits classified as normal or precautionary. |
The risk-weighted asset includes intrinsic risks in total assets, errors of internal operation processes and loss risk from external events. It indicates a size of assets reflecting the level of risks that the Bank bears. The Bank computes the risk-weighted asset by risks (credit risk, market risk and operational risk) and uses it for calculation of BIS capital ratio.

Fair value is the amount at which the assets could be exchanged or the liabilities could be settled in transaction between knowledgeable and willing independent parties. For each class of financial assets and
S-45
Table of Contents
financial liabilities, the Bank discloses the fair value of that class of assets and liabilities in a way that permits them to be compared with their carrying amount at the end of each reporting period. The best estimate of the fair value of a financial instrument is the price quoted in an active market.
Methods for measuring fair value of financial instruments are as follows:
Financial instruments | Method of measuring fair value | |
Loans and receivables | As demand deposits and transferable deposits do not have maturity and are readily convertible to cash, the carrying amounts of these deposits approximate their fair values. Fair values of the deposits with the maturity of more than one year are determined by discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”). DCF model is also used to determine the fair value of loans. Fair value is determined by discounting the cash flows expected from each contractual period by applying the discount rates for each period. | |
Investment securities | Financial investments are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in an active market. If a quoted market price is not available, they are measured by using a price quoted by a third party, such as a pricing service or broker or using the DCF model. | |
Derivatives | For exchange traded derivative, quoted price in active market is used to determine fair value and for OTC (over-the-counter) derivative, fair value is determined primarily using the DCF model. The Bank uses internally developed valuation models that are widely used by market participants to determine fair value of plain OTC derivatives including option, interest rate swap and currency swap based on observable market parameters. However, some complex financial instruments are valued using the results of independent pricing services, where part or all of the inputs are not observable in the market. | |
Borrowings | Fair value is determined using DCF model discounting contractual future cash flows by appropriate discount rate. | |
Debentures | Fair value of debentures denominated in local currency is determined by using the valuation of independent third-party pricing services in accordance with the market prices that are quoted in active markets. Fair value of debentures denominated in foreign currencies is determined by DCF model. |
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities classified as fair value Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are determined by using the valuation of independent third-party pricing services. Meanwhile, carrying amounts of other financial assets and financial liabilities are regarded as an approximation of fair values.
(2) | Fair value hierarchy |
1) | The Bank classifies financial instruments as three level of fair value hierarchy as below: |
Level 1: | Financial instruments measured at quoted prices from active markets are classified as fair value Level 1. This level includes listed equity securities, derivatives, and government bonds traded in an active exchange market. |
Level 2: | Financial instruments measured using valuation techniques where all significant inputs are observable market data are classified as Level 2. This level includes the majority of debt and general OTC derivatives such as swap, futures and options |
Level 3: | Financial instruments measured using valuation techniques where one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data are classified as Level 3. This level includes unlisted equity securities, structured bonds and OTC derivatives. |

18. | RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN: |
The Bank operates both defined benefit plan and defined contribution plan.
(1) | Defined benefit plan |
The Bank operates defined benefit plans, which have the following characteristics:
• | The entity has the obligation to pay the agreed benefits to all its current and past employees. |
• | The entity is liable for actuarial risk (excess of actual payment against expected amount) and investment risk. |
The present value of the defined benefit obligation recognized in the separate statements of financial position is calculated annually by independent actuaries in accordance with actuarial valuation method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using the projected unit credit method (“PUC”).
S-69
Table of Contents
The data used in the PUC, such as interest rates, future salary increase rate, mortality rate, consumer price index and expected return on plan asset, are based on observable market data and historical data, which are annually updated.
Actuarial assumptions may differ from actual results due to change in the market, economic trend and mortality trend, which may affect defined benefit obligation liabilities and future payments. Actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period incurred through other comprehensive income or loss.

20. | DERIVATIVES: |
The Bank operates derivatives both for trading and hedging purposes. Derivatives held for trading purpose are included in financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL.
(1) | Fair value hedge |
Fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, or an identified portion of such an asset, liability or firm commitment, that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect profit or loss. When applying fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk shall adjust the carrying amount of the hedged item and be recognized in profit or loss.
The Bank shall discontinue prospectively the fair value hedge if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the Bank revokes the designation. Any adjustment arising from the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk to the carrying amount of a hedged financial instrument for which the effective interest method is used shall be amortized to profit or loss.
The Bank uses interest rate swaps for hedging changes of fair values in hedged items arising from changes in interest rates. The Bank also uses currency swaps for hedging changes of fair values in hedged items arising from changes in foreign exchange rates.
(2) | Cash flow hedge |
Cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability (such as all or some future interest payments on variable rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction and could affect profit or loss. When applying cash flow hedge, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge shall be recognized in other comprehensive income; and the ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument are recognized in profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, the associated gains or losses that were 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 affect profit or loss.
The Bank shall discontinue prospectively the cash flow hedge if hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the Bank revokes the designation. The forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
S-72
Table of Contents
The Bank uses interest rate swaps for hedging changes of cash flows in hedged items arising from changes in interest rates. The Bank also uses currency swaps for hedging changes of cash flows in hedged items arising from changes in foreign exchange.

(3) | Regulatory reserve for loan losses |
Regulatory reserve for loan losses is calculated and disclosed according to Article 29 (1) and (2), Regulation on Supervision of Banking Business. In accordance with Regulation on Supervision of Banking Business, etc., if the estimated allowance for credit loss determined by K-IFRS for the accounting purpose is lower than those for the regulatory purpose required by Regulation on Supervision of Banking Business, the Bank should reserve such difference as the regulatory reserve for loan losses. Due to the fact that regulatory reserve for loan losses is a voluntary reserve, the amounts that exceed the existing regulatory reserve for loan losses over the compulsory regulatory reserve for loan losses at the period-end date are reversed in profit. In case of accumulated deficit, the Bank should recommence setting aside regulatory reserve for loan losses at the time when accumulated deficit is reduced to zero.

GDP growth in 2019 was 2.2% at chained 2015 year prices, as aggregate private and general government consumption expenditures increased by 3.2%, imports of goods and services decreased by 1.9% and exports of goods and services increased by 0.2%, which more than offset a decrease in gross domestic fixed capital formation by 2.1%, each compared with 2018.
GDP in 2020 contracted by 0.7% at chained 2015 year prices, primarily due to a 4.8% decrease in private consumption expenditures and a 1.7% decrease in exports of goods and services, which were offset in part by a 5.1% increase in general government consumption expenditures, a 3.5% increase in gross domestic fixed capital formation and a 3.1% decrease in imports of goods and services, each compared with 2019. The contraction of the Republic’s GDP in 2020 was primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
GDP growth in 2021 was 4.3% at chained 2015 year prices, as exports of goods and services increased by 11.1%, aggregate private and general government consumption expenditures increased by 4.1% and gross domestic fixed capital formation increased by 3.2%, which more than offset an increase in imports of goods and services by 10.1%, each compared with 2020.
Based on preliminary data, GDP growth in 2022 was 2.6% at chained 2015 year prices, as aggregate private and general government consumption expenditures increased by 4.1% and exports of goods and services increased by 3.4%, which more than offset an increase in imports of goods and services by 3.5% and a decrease in gross fixed capital formation by 0.5%, each compared with 2021.
Based on preliminary data, GDP growth in the first nine months of 2023 was 1.4% at chained 2015 year prices, primarily due to an increase in aggregate private and general government consumption expenditures by 2.1%, an increase in gross fixed capital formation by 2.2% and an increase in exports of goods and services by 0.5%, the effects of which were offset in part by an increase in imports of goods and services by 2.8%, each compared with the corresponding period of 2022.

Balance of Payments and Foreign Trade
Balance of Payments
Based on preliminary data, the Republic recorded a current account surplus of US$16.6 billion in the first nine months of 2023. The current account surplus in the first nine months of 2023 decreased from the current account surplus of US$25.8 billion in the corresponding period of 2022, primarily due to an increase in deficit from the services account and a decrease in surplus from the goods account, the effects of which were offset in large part by an increase in surplus from the income account.

Based on preliminary data, the Republic recorded a trade deficit of US$19.8 billion in the first nine months of 2023. Exports decreased by 11.5% to US$464.2 billion in the first nine months of 2023 from US$524.5 billion in the corresponding period of 2022, primarily due to a deterioration in the domestic economic conditions of the Republic’s major trading partners and a downturn in the semiconductor industry. Imports decreased by 12.6% to US$484.0 billion in the first nine months of 2023 from US$553.7 billion in the corresponding period of 2022, primarily due to a decrease in energy and commodity prices, which also led to decreased unit prices of other major raw materials.
Foreign Currency Reserves
The amount of the Government’s foreign currency reserves was US$417.1 billion as of November 30, 2023.

Table of Contents
Form and Registration
The Notes will be represented by one or more fully registered global notes, which will be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, DTC. Except as described in the accompanying prospectus under “Description of the Securities—Description of Debt Securities—Global Securities,” the global notes will not be exchangeable for Notes in definitive registered form, and will not be issued in definitive registered form. Financial institutions, acting as direct and indirect participants in DTC, will represent your beneficial interests in the global notes. These financial institutions will record the ownership and transfer of your beneficial interest through book-entry accounts. You may hold your beneficial interests in the Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream if you are a participant in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the Notes will take place through DTC participants, including Euroclear and Clearstream. See “Clearance and Settlement—Transfers Within and Between DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream.”
The fiscal agent will not charge you any fees for the Notes, other than reasonable fees for the replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Notes. However, you may incur fees for the maintenance and operation of the book-entry accounts with the clearing systems in which your beneficial interests are held.
For so long as the Notes are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require, in the event that a global note is exchanged for Notes in definitive form, we will appoint and maintain a paying agent in Singapore, where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment or redemption. In addition, in the event that a global note is exchanged for Notes in definitive form, an announcement of such exchange will be made by or on behalf of us through the SGX-ST and such announcement will include all material information with respect to the delivery of the Notes in definitive form, including details of the paying agent in Singapore.
Further Issues
We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional debt securities with the same terms and conditions as any series of the Notes in all respects so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the relevant series of the Notes. We will not issue any such additional debt securities unless the issuance would constitute a “qualified reopening” for U.S. federal income tax purposes or such additional debt securities would otherwise be part of the same “issue” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Notices
While the Notes are represented by the global note deposited with the custodian for DTC, notices to holders may be given by delivery to DTC, and such notices will be deemed to be given on the date of delivery to DTC. The fiscal agent may also mail notices by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder’s last known address as it appears in the security register that the fiscal agent maintains. The fiscal agent will only mail these notices to the registered holder of the Notes. You will not receive notices regarding the Notes directly from us unless we reissue the Notes to you in fully certificated form.
Neither the failure to give any notice to a particular holder, nor any defect in a notice given to a particular holder, will affect the sufficiency of any notice given to another holder.

Table of Contents
We have obtained the information in this section from sources we believe to be reliable, including DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. We accept responsibility only for accurately extracting information from such sources. DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform the procedures described below, and they may modify or discontinue them at any time. Neither we nor the registrar will be responsible for DTC’s, Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s performance of their obligations under their rules and procedures. Nor will we or the registrar be responsible for the performance by direct or indirect participants of their obligations under their rules and procedures.
Introduction
The Depository Trust Company
DTC is:
• | a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law; |
• | a “banking organization” under the New York Banking Law; |
• | a member of the Federal Reserve System; |
• | a “clearing corporation” under the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and |
• | a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants. It does this through electronic book-entry changes in the accounts of its direct participants, eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants and by the New York Stock Exchange Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. and the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.
Euroclear and Clearstream
Like DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream hold securities for their participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between their participants through electronic book-entry changes in their accounts. Euroclear and Clearstream provide various services to their participants, including the safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement and lending and borrowing of internationally traded securities. Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream are financial institutions such as underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies. Some of the underwriters participating in this offering are participants in Euroclear or Clearstream. Other banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies have indirect access to Euroclear or Clearstream by clearing through or maintaining a custodial relationship with a Euroclear or Clearstream participant.
Ownership of the Notes through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream
We will issue the Notes in the form of one or more fully registered global notes, registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. Financial institutions, acting as direct and indirect participants in DTC, will represent your beneficial interests in the global notes. These financial institutions will record the ownership and transfer of your beneficial interests through book-entry accounts. You may hold your beneficial interests in the Notes through Euroclear or Clearstream, if you are a DTC participant in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are DTC participants in such systems. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold their Euroclear/Clearstream participants’ beneficial interests in the global notes in their customers’ securities accounts with their depositaries. These depositaries of Euroclear and Clearstream in turn will hold such interests in their customers’ securities accounts with DTC.
S-105
Table of Contents
We and the fiscal agent generally will treat the registered holder of the Notes, initially Cede & Co., as the absolute owner of the Notes for all purposes. Once we and the fiscal agent make payments to the registered holder, we and the fiscal agent will no longer be liable on the Notes for the amounts so paid. Accordingly, if you own a beneficial interest in the global notes, you must rely on the procedures of the institutions through which you hold your interests in the Notes, including DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream and their respective participants, to exercise any of the rights granted to holders of Notes. Under existing industry practice, if you desire to take any action that Cede & Co., as the holder of the global notes, is entitled to take, then Cede & Co. would authorize the DTC participant through which you own your beneficial interest to take such action. The DTC participant would then either authorize you to take the action or act for you on your instructions.
DTC may grant proxies or authorize its DTC participants, or persons holding beneficial interests in the Notes through such DTC participants, to exercise any rights of a holder or take any actions that a holder is entitled to take under the fiscal agency agreement or the Notes. Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s ability to take actions as holder under the Notes or the fiscal agency agreement will be limited by the ability of their respective depositaries to carry out such actions for them through DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream will take such actions only in accordance with their respective rules and procedures.
The fiscal agent will not charge you any fees for the Notes, other than reasonable fees and indemnity satisfactory to the fiscal agent for the replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Notes. However, you may incur fees for the maintenance and operation of the book-entry accounts with the clearing systems in which your beneficial interests are held.
Transfers Within and Between DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream
Trading Between DTC Purchasers and Sellers
DTC participants will transfer interests in the Notes among themselves in the ordinary way according to DTC rules. Participants will pay for such transfers by wire transfer. The laws of some states require certain purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to transfer beneficial interests in the global notes to such purchasers. DTC can act only on behalf of its direct participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect participants and certain banks. Thus, your ability to pledge a beneficial interest in the global notes to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, and to take other actions, may be limited because you will not possess a physical certificate that represents your interest.
Trading Between Euroclear and/or Clearstream Participants
Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will transfer interests in the Notes among themselves according to the rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.
Trading Between a DTC Seller and a Euroclear or Clearstream Purchaser
When the Notes are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant to the account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant, the purchaser must first send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream through a participant at least one business day prior to the settlement date. Euroclear or Clearstream will then instruct its depositary to receive the Notes and make payment for them. On the settlement date, the depositary will make payment to the DTC participant’s account and the Notes will be credited to the depositary’s account. After settlement has been completed, DTC will credit the Notes to Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear or Clearstream will credit the Notes, in accordance with its usual procedures, to the participant’s account, and the participant will then credit the purchaser’s account. These securities credits will appear the next day (European time) after the settlement date. The cash debit from the account of Euroclear or Clearstream will be back-valued to the value date, which will be the preceding day if settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the cash debit will instead be valued at the actual settlement date.
S-106
Table of Contents
Participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will need to make funds available to Euroclear or Clearstream to pay for the Notes by wire transfer on the value date. The most direct way of doing this is to pre-position funds (i.e., have funds in place at Euroclear or Clearstream before the value date), either from cash on hand or existing lines of credit. Under this approach, however, participants may take on credit exposure to Euroclear and Clearstream until the Notes are credited to their accounts one day later.
As an alternative, if Euroclear or Clearstream has extended a line of credit to a participant, the participant may decide not to pre-position funds, but to allow Euroclear or Clearstream to draw on the line of credit to finance settlement for the Notes. Under this procedure, Euroclear or Clearstream would charge the participant overdraft charges for one day, assuming that the overdraft would be cleared when the Notes were credited to the participant’s account. However, interest on the Notes would accrue from the value date. Therefore, in many cases the interest income on the Notes which the participant earns during that one-day period will substantially reduce or offset the amount of the participant’s overdraft charges. Of course, this result will depend on the cost of funds (i.e., the interest rate that Euroclear or Clearstream charges) to each participant.
Since the settlement will occur during New York business hours, a DTC participant selling an interest in the Notes can use its usual procedures for transferring global securities to the depositories of Euroclear or Clearstream for the benefit of Euroclear or Clearstream participants. The DTC seller will receive the sale proceeds on the settlement date. Thus, to the DTC seller, a cross-market sale will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants.
Finally, day traders who use Euroclear or Clearstream and who purchase the Notes from DTC participants for credit to Euroclear participants or Clearstream participants should note that these trades will automatically fail unless one of three steps is taken:
• | borrowing through Euroclear or Clearstream for one day, until the purchase side of the day trade is reflected in the day trader’s Euroclear or Clearstream account, in accordance with the clearing system’s customary procedures; |
• | borrowing the Notes in the United States from DTC participants no later than one day prior to settlement, which would allow sufficient time for the Notes to be reflected in the Euroclear or Clearstream account in order to settle the sale side of the trade; or |
• | staggering the value dates for the buy and sell sides of the trade so that the value date for the purchase from the DTC participant is at least one day prior to the value date for the sale to the Euroclear or Clearstream participant. |
Trading Between a Euroclear or Clearstream Seller and a DTC Purchaser
Due to time-zone differences in their favor, Euroclear and Clearstream participants can use their usual procedures to transfer the Notes through their depositaries to a DTC participant. The seller must first send instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream through a participant at least one business day prior to the settlement date. Euroclear or Clearstream will then instruct its depositary to credit the Notes to the DTC participant’s account and receive payment. The payment will be credited in the account of the Euroclear or Clearstream participant on the following day, but the receipt of the cash proceeds will be back-valued to the value date, which will be the preceding day if settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the receipt of the cash proceeds will instead be valued at the actual settlement date.
If the Euroclear or Clearstream participant selling the Notes has a line of credit with Euroclear or Clearstream and elects to be in debit for the Notes until it receives the sale proceeds in its account, then the back-valuation may substantially reduce or offset any overdraft charges that the participant incurs over that period.
Settlement in other currencies between DTC and Euroclear and Clearstream is possible using free-of-payment transfers to move the Notes, but funds movement will take place separately.

Korean Taxation
The fifth sentence of the third paragraph under “Taxation—Korean Taxation—Tax Treaties” in the accompanying prospectus shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“Even if the beneficial owner was unable to receive the benefit of a tax exemption due to his or her failure to timely submit such application, the beneficial owner may still receive the tax treaty benefits by claiming a tax refund with evidentiary documents to the relevant tax office within five years from the eleventh day of the month following the month during which the payment of such income occurred.”
For a discussion of additional Korean tax considerations that may be relevant to you if you invest in the Notes, please refer to the section “Taxation—Korean Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus.
United States Tax Considerations
The last paragraph under “Taxation—United States Tax Considerations—Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“A U.S. holder generally will not be entitled to credit any Korean tax imposed on the sale or other disposition of the debt securities against such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, except in the case of a U.S. holder that consistently elects to apply a modified version of the U.S. foreign tax credit rules that is permitted under recently issued temporary guidance and complies with the specific requirements set forth in such guidance. Additionally, capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of the debt securities generally will be U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, even if the Korean tax qualifies as a creditable tax, a U.S. holder may not be able to credit the tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability unless such credit can be applied (subject to generally applicable conditions and limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. If the Korean tax is not a creditable tax, the tax would reduce the amount realized on the sale or other disposition of the debt security even if the U.S. holder has elected to claim a foreign tax credit for other taxes in the same year. The temporary guidance discussed above also indicates that the U.S. Department of Treasury and the IRS are considering proposing amendments to the December 2021 regulations and that the temporary guidance can be relied upon until additional guidance is issued that withdraws the temporary guidance. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to a sale or other disposition of the debt security and any Korean tax imposed on such sale or disposition.”
For a discussion of additional U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you if you invest in the Notes and are a U.S. holder, see “Taxation—United States Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus.

Standard Chartered Bank will not effect any offers or sales of any Notes in the United States unless it is through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers as permitted by the regulations of FINRA.
Under the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, if the Underwriters take any Notes of a series, then the Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Notes of such series.
The Underwriters initially propose to offer the Notes directly to the public at the offering prices described on the cover page. After the initial offering of the Notes, the Underwriters may from time to time vary the offering prices and other selling terms.
If a jurisdiction requires that the offering be made by a licensed broker or dealer and the Underwriters or any affiliate of the Underwriters is a licensed broker or dealer in that jurisdiction, the offering shall be deemed to be made by that Underwriter or its affiliate on behalf of us in such jurisdiction.
Certain of the underwriters are expected to make offers and sales both inside and outside the United States through their respective selling agents. Any offers or sales in the United States will be conducted by broker-dealers registered with the SEC.
The Notes are a new class of securities with no established trading market. Applications will be made to the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the Notes on the SGX-ST. The Underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the Notes. However, they are not obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making activities with respect to the Notes at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of any trading market for the Notes.
We have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments which the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of any such liabilities.

Table of Contents
In connection with this offering, any of the Underwriters appointed and acting in its capacity as stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing Managers”) or any person acting on their behalf may purchase and sell the Notes in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves sales of the Notes in excess of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased by the Underwriters in this offering, which creates a short position for the Underwriters. Covering transactions involve purchases of the Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of the Notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes while the offering is in progress. Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes. They may also cause the price of the Notes to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The Stabilizing Managers may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the Stabilizing Managers commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue such transactions at any time, and must discontinue them after a limited period.
The amount of net proceeds of the 2027 Sustainability Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2034 Notes is US$796,248,000, US$793,608,000 and US$395,388,000, respectively, after deducting underwriting discounts but not estimated expenses. Our expenses associated with the Notes offering are estimated to be US$300,000. The Underwriters have agreed to pay certain of our expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Notes.
The Underwriters and certain of their affiliates may have performed certain commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for us and/or our affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us and/or our affiliates in the ordinary course of their business.
The Underwriters or certain of their affiliates may purchase Notes and be allocated Notes for asset management and/or proprietary purposes but not with a view to distribution. The Underwriters or their respective affiliates may purchase Notes for its or their own account and enter into transactions, including credit derivatives, such as asset swaps, repackaging and credit default swaps relating to Notes and/or other securities of us or our subsidiaries or affiliates at the same time as the offer and sale of Notes or in secondary market transactions. Such transactions would be carried out as bilateral trades with selected counterparties and separately from any existing sale or resale of Notes to which this prospectus supplement relates (notwithstanding that such selected counterparties may also be purchasers of Notes).
Important Notice to CMIs (including private banks)
This notice to CMIs (including private banks) is a summary of certain obligations the SFC Code imposes on CMIs, which require the attention and cooperation of other CMIs (including private banks). Certain CMIs may also be acting as OCs for this offering and are subject to additional requirements under the SFC Code.
Prospective investors who are the directors, employees or major shareholders of the Issuer, a CMI or its group companies would be considered under the SFC Code as having an Association with the Issuer, the CMI or the relevant group company. CMIs should specifically disclose whether their investor clients have any Association when submitting orders for the Notes. In addition, private banks should take all reasonable steps to identify whether their investor clients may have any Associations with the Issuer or any CMI (including its group companies) and inform the relevant Underwriters accordingly.
CMIs are informed that the marketing and investor targeting strategy for this offering includes institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, hedge funds, family offices and high net worth individuals, in each case, subject to the selling restrictions set out elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.
S-110
Table of Contents
CMIs should ensure that orders placed are bona fide, are not inflated and do not constitute duplicated orders (i.e., two or more corresponding or identical orders placed via two or more CMIs). CMIs should enquire with their investor clients regarding any orders which appear unusual or irregular. CMIs should disclose the identities of all investors when submitting orders for the Notes (except for omnibus orders where underlying investor information may need to be provided to any OCs when submitting orders). Failure to provide underlying investor information for omnibus orders, where required to do so, may result in that order being rejected. CMIs should not place “X-orders” into the order book.
CMIs should segregate and clearly identify their own proprietary orders (and those of their group companies, including private banks as the case may be) in the order book and book messages.
CMIs (including private banks) should not offer any rebates to prospective investors or pass on any rebates provided by the Issuer. In addition, CMIs (including private banks) should not enter into arrangements which may result in prospective investors paying different prices for the Notes.
The SFC Code requires that a CMI disclose complete and accurate information in a timely manner on the status of the order book and other relevant information it receives to targeted investors for them to make an informed decision. In order to do this, those Underwriters in control of the order book should consider disclosing order book updates to all CMIs.
When placing an order for the Notes, private banks should disclose, at the same time, if such order is placed other than on a “principal” basis (whereby it is deploying its own balance sheet for onward selling to investors). Private banks who do not provide such disclosure are hereby deemed to be placing their order on such a “principal” basis. Otherwise, such order may be considered to be an omnibus order pursuant to the SFC Code. Private banks should be aware that placing an order on a “principal” basis may require the relevant affiliated Underwriter(s) (if any) to categorize it as a proprietary order and apply the “proprietary orders” requirements of the SFC Code to such order.
In relation to omnibus orders, when submitting such orders, CMIs (including private banks) that are subject to the SFC Code should disclose underlying investor information in respect of each order constituting the relevant omnibus order (failure to provide such information may result in that order being rejected). Underlying investor information in relation to an omnibus order should consist of:
• | The name of each underlying investor; |
• | A unique identification number for each investor; |
• | Whether an underlying investor has any “Associations” (as used in the SFC Code); |
• | Whether any underlying investor order is a “Proprietary Order” (as used in the SFC Code); |
• | Whether any underlying investor order is a duplicate order. |
Underlying investor information in relation to omnibus order should be sent to: hkbondsyndicate@anz.com, dl.asia.syndicate@asia.bnpparibas.com, hk_syndicate_omnibus@hsbc.com.hk, Investor.info.hk.bond.deals@jpmorgan.com, Asia-Syndicate@hk.sc.mufg.jp, synhk@sc.com.
To the extent information being disclosed by CMIs and investors is personal and/or confidential in nature, CMIs (including private banks) agree and warrant: (A) to take appropriate steps to safeguard the transmission of such information to any OCs; and (B) that they have obtained the necessary consents from the underlying investors to disclose such information to any OCs. By submitting an order and providing such information to any OCs, each CMI (including private banks) further warrants that they and the underlying investors have understood and consented to the collection, disclosure, use and transfer of such information by any OCs and/or any other third parties as may be required by the SFC Code, including to the Issuer, relevant regulators and/or any other
S-111
Table of Contents
third parties as may be required by the SFC Code, for the purpose of complying with the SFC Code, during the bookbuilding process for this offering. CMIs that receive such underlying investor information are reminded that such information should be used only for submitting orders in this offering. The relevant Underwriters may be asked to demonstrate compliance with their obligations under the SFC Code, and may request other CMIs (including private banks) to provide evidence showing compliance with the obligations above (in particular, that the necessary consents have been obtained). In such event, other CMIs (including private banks) are required to provide the relevant Underwriters with such evidence within the timeline requested.
Delivery of the Notes
We expect to make delivery of the Notes, against payment in same-day funds on or about January 11, 2024, which we expect will be the fifth business day following the date of this prospectus supplement. Under Rule 15c6-l promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, U.S. purchasers are generally required to settle trades in the secondary market in two business days, unless they and the other parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if you wish to trade in the Notes on any day prior to the second business day before the settlement date, because the Notes will initially settle in T+5, you may be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of your trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers in other countries should consult with their own advisors.

The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
Under Canadian securities law, National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (NI 33-105) provides disclosure requirements with respect to potential conflicts of interest between an issuer and underwriters, dealers or placement agents, as the case may be. To the extent any conflict of interest between us and any of the Underwriters (or any other placement agent acting in connection with this offering) may exist in respect of this offering, the applicable parties to this offering are relying on the exemption from these disclosure requirements provided to them by section 3A.3 of NI 33-105 (exemption based on U.S. disclosure).
