Under the terms of the deposit agreement, no consent is required if the shares of common stock are obtained through a dividend, free distribution, rights offering or reclassification of such stock. We have consented, under the terms of the deposit agreement, to any deposit to the extent that, after the deposit, the number of deposited shares of common stock does not exceed 80% of an aggregate of 33,600,000 shares of common stock (including shares of common stock sold in the form of ADSs) sold in the initial public offering in July 2004 and 1,715,700 shares of common stock (including shares of common stock sold in the form of ADSs) sold pursuant to the over-allotment option in September 2004, or any greater number of shares of common stock we determine from time to time (i.e., as a result of a subsequent offering, stock dividend or rights offer), unless the deposit is prohibited by applicable laws or violates our articles of incorporation; provided, however, that in the case of any subsequent offer by us or our affiliates, the 80% limit on the number of shares of common stock on deposit shall not apply to such offer and the number of shares of common stock issued, delivered or sold pursuant to the offer (including shares of common stock in the form of ADSs) shall be eligible for deposit under the deposit agreement, except to the extent such deposit is prohibited by applicable laws or violates our articles of incorporation or we determine with the depositary to limit the number of shares of common stock so offered that would be eligible for deposit under the deposit agreement in order to maintain liquidity for the shares in Korea as may be requested by the relevant Korean authorities. We might not consent to the deposit of any additional common stock. As a result, if a holder surrenders ADSs and withdraws common stock, it may not be able to deposit the common stock again to obtain ADSs.
