* The summary financial information below differs partially from the information disclosed in the Prospectus submitted on September 21, 2016 in connection with the Stock Swap.

The main reason for the difference:

Information relating to the actual exercise of appraisal rights by the dissenting shareholders of Hyundai Securities, which was not available when the Prospectus was submitted, has been reflected to provide the investors with more accurate information.
