liability organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (the
Company), at a purchase price of $17.05 per
Common Share and per ADS (or any higher price per Common Share
and per ADS that is paid in the tender offer the Offer
Price), net to the seller in cash without interest
thereon, less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase
dated September 29, 2006 (which, together with any amendments
and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the Offer

interest thereon, less any required withholding taxes.
Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
