Calculation criteria and method

Jong Kyoo Yoon    Earned income    Salary    372    - A monthly salary of Won 31 million is paid, which is derived by dividing (i) the amount of annual salary determined by resolution of the Evaluation & Compensation Committee within the limit of the total amount of compensation approved at the shareholders’ meeting by (ii) 12 months. (This amount includes allowances for business expenses)


Table of Contents
      Bonus    182   

- The bonus payment was a short-term performance-based incentive payment paid in the first quarter of 2016 based on the final performance evaluation and resolution by the Evaluation & Compensation Committee, in accordance with the “Proposal on Long- and Short-Term Performance Evaluation and Compensation Scheme for the CEO,” which was approved at a meeting of the Evaluation & Compensation Committee held in the first quarter of 2015.

 

-The short-term performance evaluation index for 2015 comprises financial results (e.g., ROE, RAROC, CIR, real NPL ratio, innovation index) and results related to strategic initiatives (e.g., laying a foundation to become a leading financial group by securing competitive edge or executing inorganic growth strategies). The amount of the short-term incentive payment is determined based on the aggregate score for the index items above as well as the applicable year’s net income, within the range of 0%-100% of the base salary.

 

- With respect to financial results, the major achievements reflected in the performance evaluation included the attainment of key financial indicators that exceeded the target for that year, such as a 22.1% YoY increase in the Company’s net income to Won 1,727.3 billion in 2015 and a decrease in real NPL ratio from 2.65% in 2014 to 1.95% to 2015.

 

- With respect to results related to strategic initiatives, the major achievements reflected in the performance evaluation included contribution to organizational stabilization through management based on communication with front-line workers and development of the management team and structure; strengthening of business competitiveness by enhancing customer-centric sales channels and increasing marketing efforts; generating synergy by promoting cross-selling and enhancing collaboration among affiliates; and pursuit of business portfolio enhancement by acquiring LIG Insurance.
