FINANCIAL CRISIS LOCK DOWN BANK MANAGEMENT PLANS
MAEIL BUSINESS NEWSPAPER & MK.CO.KR:10/23/2008
Ripple effect of the global financial crisis is deadlocking domestic
banks from implementing bulky management agendas.
Frozen domestic and international investment environments are murky or
indefinitely postponing key schedules, such as stake selloffs to secure
liquidity or stake acquirement in foreign banks.
According to financial industry sources on October 23, Kookmin Bank was
recently gridlocked in selling its stake in ING Life Insurance. The resolution
had been passed during a board meeting earlier this month to secure 600 billion
won liquidity by reselling its 14.9 percent stake in ING Life Insurance for
500,000 won per share back to ING Group. However, warning lights flashed as ING
Group was recently cornered in need of a bailout due to a liquidity crisis.
Selling 4 trillion won worth its own shares that had been gained whilst
restructuring into a holding company also seems like a difficult task.
Meanwhile, Woori Bank is in an awkward position to fulfill the MOU
concluded with Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation in Q3 as the bank is
expected to suffer over 100 billion won losses in relations to the U.S.
subprime mortgage triggered by the international financial market’s credit
crunch. Korea Exchange Bank (KEB) delayed plans to expand equity capital and
apply for confirmation as a financial investment company for its affiliate, KEB
Futures, to beyond next year February when Capital Market Consolidation Act
will be enforced.
Hana Bank had contracted on July 24 last year to obtain 19.67 percent
stake in Chinese Jilin Bank at 2.16 billion yuan but is pushing back the final
stake buyout.
Privatization plan for Korea Development Bank (KDB) is also foggy. KDB
is hoping the plan to be confirmed with the revised KDB bill being passed in
the coming National Assembly’s regular session, yet nothing is clear. Not only
is KDB’s role as a state-run bank being signified in times of the financial
crisis but with a string of investment banks which KDB had set as role models
going bankrupt, assertions are raised suggesting the goal to be reset.

KOOKMIN BANK DECLARES ‘EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT’
MAEIL BUSINESS NEWSPAPER & MK.CO.KR: 10/20/2008
The largest domestic bank, Kookmin bank, has declared an ‘emergency
management’, the core of which is cutting executive salaries for next year and
fixing the number of branches.
While local banks are facing uphill due to a severe foreign currency and
won liquidity shortage, KIKO losses, and the rise in delinquency ratio of
small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Kookmin Bank has become the first
domestic bank to officially proclaim an ‘emergency management’.
According to financial industry sources on October 20, Kookmin Bank
executives have confirmed its management paradigm for next year titled as a
‘New Start Management’ upon holding a 12-hour marathon meeting on October 17 in
Kookmin Bank’s training center in Ilsan City.
Kookmin Bank executives, during the meeting, reached an agreement on
adopting an emergency management system, and declared to carry out preemptive
and active countermeasures against the crisis on the basis of efficient,
prompt, and creative management. Major challenges of a ‘New Start Management’
were selected as follows: continuous expense reduction, reinforcement in crisis
management, advancement in customer management, and improvement in product development.
In particular, in order for expense reduction, Kookmin Bank decided to
cut executive salaries by around five percent for the first time since it had
merged with Korea Long-Term Credit Bank in 2002. Also, the bank confirmed not
to increase the current number of its branches (1,222 as of end of September).
Kookmin Bank Governor Kang Jeong-won was conveyed to have stated during
the meeting on October 17, “In an effort to wisely surmount the current crisis and
purse the bank’s long-term development, the comprehensive measures regarding
crisis management should be immediately conceived.”
Subsequent to the Kookmin Bank’s announcement on its emergency
management, other local banks are predicted to come up with corresponding
measures too; Woori Bank and Shinhan Banks are currently reviewing specific
plans on expense reduction.

KOOKMIN BANK TO ANNOUNCE TENDER OFFER TO ACQUIRE KEB
MAEIL BUSINESS NEWSPAPER & MK.CO.KR: 07/16/2008
Kookmin Bank has decided to announce its tender offer to acquire Korea
Exchange Bank (KEB).
According to Korea’s financial supervisory authorities and industry
sources on July 16, Kookmin Bank has been contacting KEB’s majority
shareholder, Lone Star, and financial authorities over the past few months to
acquire KEB via tender offer.
A high-ranking official from the financial supervisory authorities
disclosed, “Kookmin Bank has been preparing for KEB tender offer, minding that
the contract between HSBC and Lone Star will be cancelled after late July. If
its tender offer succeeds, Kookmin Bank could also secure management right over
KEB.”
Tender offer is a type of takeover bid. It is public, open offer by an acquirer
to all stockholders of a publicly traded corporation such as: “Kookmin Bank
offers to purchase a 33 percent stake in KEB for 15,000 won per share from when
to when.” Not only KEB’s largest shareholder Lone Star -- holding a 51.02
percent stake at the end of March -- but other shareholders such as the Bank of
Korea (6.12 percent), Export-Import Bank of Korea (6.25 percent) and others
(36.61 percent) can also sell portions of their stakes at the price offered by
Kookmin Bank.
Kookmin Bank is already known to have tapped in their tender offer
method to Lone Star, increasing the possibility that Lone Star could comply.
Moreover, Kookmin Bank is most preferred in the takeover bid thanks to its
affluent funding capacity compared to other domestic commercial banks that are
interested in acquiring KEB.
Nonetheless, M&A via tender offer must also receive approval from
the financial supervisory authorities as it had been the case between HSBC and
Lone Star.

S&P raises Kookmin Bank's debt rating to 'A'
Yonhap News: 2007/03/21
SEOUL, March 21 (Yonhap) -- Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
raised its long-term debt rating of Kookmin Bank to "A" from "A
minus" on Wednesday, citing its improving asset quality and strong
capitalization.
The global ratings agency said the outlook for the foreign and local
currency debt ratings of Kookmin, South Korea's top lender, is stable.
"The upgrade reflects the bank's improving overall credit profile
and conservative asset growth strategy for the past few years," the agency
said in a statement.
The agency also said the outlook could be revised to positive if a
significant improvement in revenue diversification and earnings stability
follows.
Kookmin Bank reported its earnings for 2006 came to a record 2.47
trillion won (US$2.92 billion), up 9.76 percent from 2.25 trillion won a year
earlier.
The credit appraiser also upgraded the debt
ratings of state-run Industrial Bank of Korea and National Agricultural
Cooperative Federation to "A" from "A minus" each on
improving financial health and strengthening capitalization.
Lawsuits Flood Banks
KOREA TIMES: 03-21-2007
By Na Jeong-ju / Staff Reporter
Kookmin Bank and other major commercial lenders are engaged in hundreds
of lawsuits involving financial fraud and other business-related litigation
cases.
According to regulatory filings to the Financial Supervisory Service
(FSS), the total amount of damages sought in 177 lawsuits filed against Kookmin
stood at 513 billion won as of the end of 2006 _ one fifth of the banks 2.47
trillion won in net profits that year.
If the claim for 446 billion won sought by a local lottery operator in a
case filed in January this year is included, the total amount reaches nearly 1
trillion won.
Bank officials said that they have set aside sufficient reserves to
cover possible losses in lawsuits and therefore they will not have any major
impact on Kookmin’s financial health.
However, they noted that clients are increasingly relying on lawsuits to
protect their rights.
``Individual consumers have become more keen on protecting their
rights,’’ a Kookmin Bank spokesman said. ``In the past they would just pick fights
with bank tellers if they are dissatisfied. But now they are more likely to
file complaints.’’
The official said lawsuits filed by clients are likely to continue to
increase in the future, but that they will not have a major impact on the
bank’s overall operations.
Shinhan Bank is also wrangling with 212 lawsuits with claims amounting
to 241 billion won.
The number of lawsuits against Woori Bank is 239, the largest among the
four largest banks, with claims amounting to 1.8 trillion won.
Hana Bank has been sued 117 times involving 163 billion won in claims.
``Bank officials lax ethics often result in financial fraud which
triggers damage suits later. Banks have begun to strengthen their internal
monitoring systems to stem bank officials’ scams. With this effort,
embezzlement and other financial fraud by bank officials are abating,’’ an FSS
official said.
Kookmin Raises Stake in Cultural Marketing
KOREA TIMES: 03-18-2007
By Yoon Ja-young /Staff Reporter
Banks are making strenuous efforts to differentiate marketing strategy
amid cutthroat competition. Their marketing strategies have become complicated
as simple promotion is meaningless amid the continuous launch of new, similar
products.
Marketing experts at Kookmin Bank, for example, have turned their eyes
to culture, enhancing the corporate image as well as promoting products.
The bank is transforming its previous conservative stereotypical image
into one that is young and dynamic.
Kookmin Bank successfully hosted a B-boy competition for underground
break-dancers, and held a Kart Rider competition, an online racing game popular
among young workers.
The bank plans to develop the B-boy competition into a world
competition, on top of holding a variety of events for college students and
rookies.
Another theme of their marketing strategy is family. The bank invited
mothers and children to a performance by popular magician Choi Hyun-woo, and
presented couples with tickets for the musical ``I Love You.’’
It also invited underprivileged children to the puppet show ``Balhae
Princess,’’ combining social welfare activities with cultural marketing.
VIP customers were invited to musicals such as ``Miss Saigon’’ and
``Evita,’’ and the bank hosted a fashion show of designer Lee Young-hee to celebrate
the launch of bank accounts for female customers.
The bank said it would systemize diverse marketing strategies. ``We hope
to segment target customers, adopting different marketing strategies for each
generation and region,’’ a PR official at the bank said.
He said the bank would focus on housewives this year, who have become
the decision makers as regards consumption and are very picky about cultural
marketing. It would continue its ``KB music tour’’ this year, which has provided
local customers with chances to enjoy music concerts.
``We want to have a friendly brand image, helping customers enjoy
diverse cultural events and contributing to the cultural industry as well,’’
the bank said.
Banks Incubate Experts to Expand Overseas Network
KOREA TIMES: 03-18-2007
By Na Jeong-ju /Staff Reporter
Banks are gearing up efforts to find acquisition targets in emerging
markets, while introducing programs to train their employees at foreign
financial firms.
Kookmin Bank, the country's largest lender, sent 18 employees to seven
countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia and Russia, this month to
give them opportunities to learn about banking systems in the target markets.
After completing required courses at local financial firms, they will be asked
to pave the way for the bank to enter the markets, according to Kookmin
officials.
``Their missions will include gathering information about the markets
and analyzing the pros and cons of opening businesses there,'' a Kookmin official
said.
Woori Bank, the third largest lender, has also dispatched a total of 29
employees to China, Brazil and other countries since 2002 in preparation for
possible merger negotiations with local banks. Shinhan Bank and Hana Bank also
introduced on-the-job training programs for employees at their overseas
branches and local financial firms.
``One of the key barriers for advancing into foreign markets is a lack
of employees who are capable of playing bridging roles,'' an Woori official
said. ``We are making efforts to establish a pool of regional experts who can
help the bank take firm roots in target nations.''
In order to penetrate the markets quicker, banks are seeking mergers
with local financial firms. The training programs reflect changes in the ways
they invest in overseas markets, according to bank officials.
Kookmin says it will select merger targets from small banks in 10
countries, including Russia, China, India, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and
the United Arab Emirates.
Recently, it was rumored to be seeking a controlling stake in Bank
International Indonesia, an Indonesian commercial bank, in which it bought a
14.22 percent stake in 2003. It has denied the rumor, but said its efforts to
find merger targets in foreign countries will continue.
