An investment in the American depositary shares representing our common shares involves a number of risks. You should carefully consider the following information about the risks we face, together with the other information contained in this annual report, in evaluating us and our business.
Risks Relating to the Recent Economic and Market CrisisOur Overall Business
Difficult conditions and turbulence in the Korean and global economy and financial markets may adversely affect our business, asset quality, capital adequacy and earnings.
Most of our assets are located in, and we generate most of our income from, Korea. Accordingly, our business and profitability are largely dependent on the general economic and social conditions in Korea, including interest rates, inflation, exports, personal expenditures and consumption, unemployment, demand for business products and services, debt service burden of households and businesses, the general availability of credit, the asset value of real estate and securities and other factors affecting the financial well-being of our corporate and retail customers.
The Korean economy is closely integrated with, and is significantly affected by, developments in the global economy. In light of the ongoing general economic weakness and political turbulence in Europe, signs of cooling economy for China and financial markets. The ongoing difficulties affecting the European, U.S. and global financial sectors, adverse conditions and volatilitycontinuing political instability in the worldwide credit and financial markets, fluctuations in oil and commodity pricesMiddle East and the general weaknessformer republics of the European, U.S., Chinese and global economy have increasedSoviet Union, including Russia, among others, significant uncertainty remains as to the uncertainty of global economic prospects in general and havehas adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the Korean economy. DueIn addition, as the Korean economy matures, it is increasingly exposed to recent liquiditythe risk of a “scissor effect”, namely being pursued by competitors in less advanced economies while not having fully caught up with competitors in advanced economies, which risk is amplified by the fact that Korean economy is heavily dependent on exports. The Korean economy also continues to face other difficulties, including sluggishness in domestic consumption and credit concerns and volatilityinvestment, weakness in the global financial markets, the value of the Won relativereal estate market, rising household debt, potential declines in productivity due to the U.S. Dollar has also fluctuated significantlyaging demographics and a rise in recent years. Furthermore, as a result of adverse global and Korean economic conditions, there has been continuing volatility in the stock prices of Korean companies. While the global economy showed some signs of stabilization and improvement starting in 2010 following the global credit and financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, substantial uncertainties remain, among others, in the form of fiscal and financial crisis in several European countries (including Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Portugal), a downgrade in the sovereign or other credit ratings of governments and financial institutions in Europe and the United States and signs of cooling of the Chinese economy, and the overall prospects for the Korean and global economy in 2013 and beyond remain uncertain. Although we have exposure to certain troubled European countries, namely Spain, Ireland, Italy and Portugal, our aggregate exposure to such countries only amounted to ￦57.3 billion as of December 31, 2012, which is approximately 0.02% of our total assets as of December 31, 2012. However, anyyouth unemployment. Any future deterioration of the European or other economies, and in turn, the global and Korean economy,economies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In particular, difficulties in financial and economic conditions could result in significant deterioration in the quality of our assets and accumulation of higher provisioning, allowances for loan losses and charge-offs as an increasing number of our corporate and retail customers declare bankruptcy or insolvency or otherwise face increasing difficulties in meeting their debt obligations. For example, during the global financial crisis in 2008 to
2009, our delinquent and non-performing loans increased significantly before returning largely to pre-crisis levels in 2009 due in part to our preemptive measures and improvements in the general economy. In addition, since 2010 the continuing slump in the real estate market and the shipbuilding industry haveand shipping industries has led to increased delinquency among our corporate borrowers in the construction, real estate leasing, shipbuilding and shipping industries (and in certain cases, even insolvency, and/or corporate restructurings and/or voluntary arrangements with creditors, as was recently the case for Kukdong Engineering & Constructionthe current and its parent Woongjin Holdings). For example, in April 2013, as a resultformer member companies of the continued stagnation in the shipbuilding industry, STX Offshore & Shipbuilding, the flagship member company of one of the leading conglomerates STX Group, entered into a voluntary arrangement with its creditors (including Shinhan Bank)Keangnam Enterprises and Dongbu Steel, to improve its credit situation.each of which we have limited exposure). While we have sought to actively reduce our exposure to such troubled industries through preemptive risk management policies, we cannot assure you that we will not experience further loan losses from borrowers in these industries since the quality of their assets may further deteriorate due to the continued slump in these industries or for other reasons. Shinhan Bank’s delinquency ratio (based on one or more month of delinquency) increased from 0.48% in 2010 to 0.60% in 2011 and 0.61% in 2012.2012, but decreased to 0.39% in 2013 and further to 0.31% in 2014, primarily due to Shinhan Bank’s active efforts to reduce its exposure to such troubled industries and other at-risk borrowers through preemptive risk management policies and increased lending to borrowers with high-quality credit profiles as part of Shinhan Bank’s strategic initiative to improve its asset quality. As for Shinhan Card, its delinquency ratio under the Financial Services Commission guidelines increased from 2.0%2.01% in 2010 to 2.3%2.27% in 2011 and 2.6%2.64% in 2012 largely as a result of an increase in Shinhan Card’sits assets, but it may continuebefore stabilizing to experience an increase2.15% and 2.18% in delinquency ratio2013 and 2014, respectively, largely as it seeksa result of its enhanced preemptive risk management and controlled asset growth as well as the sale of large non-performing loans to maintain or enlargeimprove its asset base amid intensifying competition among credit card companies to gain market share.quality.
Moreover, as was the case during the recent global financial crisis, depending on the nature of the difficulties in the financial markets and general economy, we may be forced to scale back certain of our core lending activities and other operations and/or borrow money at a higher funding cost or face a tightening in the net interest spread, any of which may have a negative impact on our earnings and profitability. Furthermore, while we and our principal subsidiaries currently maintain a capital adequacy ratio at a level higher than the required regulatory minimum, there is no guarantee that an even higher capital requirement will not be imposed by the Government in case of a renewed economic crisis.
In addition, given the highly integrated nature of financial systems and economic relationships worldwide, there may be other, unanticipated systemic or other risks that may not be presently predictable. Any of these risks if materialized may have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Our Overall Business
Competition in the Korean financial services industry is intense, and may further intensify as a result of further deregulation.intensify.
Competition in the Korean financial services industry is, and is likely to remain, intense.intense, including as a result of the sustained low interest rate environment (which narrows opportunities to make profit based on the spread between lending rates and funding rates), the continuing sluggishness in the general economy, the growing maturation and saturation of the industry as a whole, the entry of new market participants and deregulation, among others.
In the banking sector, Shinhan Bank competes principally with other national commercial banks in Korea, but also faces competition from a number of additional banking institutions, including branches and subsidiaries of foreign banks operating in Korea, regional banks, government-owned development banks and Korea’s specialized banks, such as Korea Development Bank, the Industrial Bank of Korea and the National Association of Agriculture and Fisheries, as well as various other types of financial service providers, including savings institutions (such as mutual savings and finance companies, credit unions and credit cooperatives), investment companies (such as securities brokerage firms, merchant banking corporations and asset management companies) and life insurance companies. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Korea had seven major nationwide domestic commercial banks (including Citibank Korea Inc. and Standard Chartered Bank Korea Limited, both of which are domestic commercial banks acquired by global financial institutions), six regional commercial banks and branches and subsidiaries of 3940 foreign banks. We believe that foreignForeign financial institutions, many of which have greater experiences and resources than we do, willmay continue to enter the Korean market and compete with us in providing financial products and services either by themselves or in partnership with existing Korean financial institutions.
In the small- and medium-sized enterprise and retail banking segments, which have been Shinhan Bank’s traditional core businesses, competition is expected to increase further, although in a more limited fashion compared to that prior to thefurther. In recent global financial crisis. Prior to the crisis, mostyears, Korean banks, including Shinhan Bank, focused on enlarging their assets through aggressive loan growth from small- and medium-sized
enterprises and retail customers and, to a lesser extent, from large corporate borrowers, while developing fee income businesses, including bancassurance and investment products, as complementary sources of revenue. Following the crisis, the Korean banks, including Shinhan Bank, arehave increasingly focusingfocused on stable asset growth based on quality credit, such as corporate borrowers with high credit ratings, loans to “small office, home office” (“SOHO”) with high levels of collateralization, and mortgage and home equity loans within the limits of the prescribed loan-to-value ratios and debt-to-income ratios, while reducing their credit exposure to small- and medium-sized enterprises.ratios. This common shift in focus toward stable growth based on less risky assets may result in lower net interest margin and reduced overall profitability, especiallyhas intensified competition as the banks compete for the same limited pool of quality credit by engaging in price competition or by other means.means although Shinhan Bank has traditionally focused, and will continue to focus, on enhancing profitability rather than increasing asset size or market share, and has avoided, to the extent practicable, engaging in price competition by way of lowering lending rates. In addition, such competition may result in lower net interest margin and reduced overall profitability, especially if the low interest rate environment were to continue for a significant period of time. Therefore, if competing financial institutions seek to expand market share by lowering their lending rates, Shinhan Bank may suffer customer loss, especially among customers who select their lenders principally on the basis of lending rates. In response thereto or for other strategic reasons, Shinhan Bank may subsequently lower theirits own lending rates to stay competitive, which could lead to a decrease in its net interest margins and outweigh any positive impact on the net interest margin from a general rise in market interest rates. Any future decline in Shinhan Bank’s customer base or its net interest margins could have an adverse effect on itsour results of operations and financial condition.
In the credit card sector, Shinhan Card competes principally with existing “monoline” credit card companies, credit card divisions of commercial banks, consumer finance companies, other financial institutions and, recently, credit card service providers allied with mobile telecommunications service providers in Korea. Competition has been historically intense in this sector and the market has shown signs of saturation as existing and new credit card service providers such as credit card companies spun off from KB Financial Group, mademake significant investments and engagedengage in aggressive marketing campaigns and promotions to acquire new customers and target customers with high credit quality. While competition has subsided somewhat recently due to stricter government regulations, such as curbs on excessive marketing expenses, competition remains intense and credit card issuers may continue to compete with Shinhan Card for customers by offering lower interest rates and fees, higher credit limits, more attractive promotions and incentives and alternative products such as phone cards, gift cards and low-interest consumer loan products. As a result, Shinhan Card may lose customers or service opportunities to competing credit card issuers and/or incur higher marketing expenses. In addition, recentthe Government regulations adopted in 2012 mandating lower merchant fees chargeable to small- and medium-sized businesses and the Government guidelines issued in 2013 suggesting lower standard interest rates for cash advances and card loans have reduced and are likely to reducecontinue to limit the revenues of credit card companies, including Shinhan Card. Furthermore, the Government’s recent guidelines to bolster consumer protection and protect customers’ personal data in the aftermath of data leaks at certain credit companies (not including Shinhan Card) may result in additional compliance costs for Shinhan Card. Customer attrition, together with any further lowering of fees or reduction in base and market interest rates and/or additional expenses from more extensive marketing and promotional campaigns that Shinhan Card might implement to acquire and retain customers, could reduce its revenues and earnings. Furthermore, the average credit quality of Shinhan Card’s customers may declinedeteriorate if customers with higher credit quality borrow from Shinhan Card’sour competitors rather than from Shinhan Card.Card and it may become more difficult for Shinhan Card to attract and maintain quality customers. In general, the growth, market share and profitability of Shinhan Card’s operations may decline or become negative as a result of market saturation in this sector, interest rate competition, pressure to lower fee rates and incur higher marketing expenses, as well as Government regulation and social and economic developments in Korea that are beyond our control, such as changes in consumer confidence levels, spending patterns or public perception of credit card usage and consumer debt. If Shinhan Card fails to maintain or attract new cardholders or increase the card usage by existing customers or experiences deterioration in its asset quality and a rise in delinquency, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In other financial services sectors, our other subsidiaries also compete in a highly fragmented market. Some of our competitors, particularly the major global financial institutions, have greater experience and resources than we do.
Consolidation among our rival institutions may also add competition in the markets in which we and our subsidiaries conduct business. The Korean banking industry may undergo further consolidation either voluntarily or as part of government-led initiatives.initiatives, including privatization, although the Government announced in March 2013 that it would no longer pursue privatization of Korea Development Bank and Industrial Bank of Korea. Some of the financial institutions resulting from these developments may, by virtue of their increased size, expanded business scope and more efficient operations, provide greater competition for us. For example, partly to facilitate the Government may eventually privatize Korea Development Bank, onesale of Government-invested members of the Government’s key policy banks, through an initial public offering. In January 2010, the Government announced its intent to sell its controlling stake informer Woori Financial Group onewhich had not materialized despite a prolonged attempt to sell them as a whole, beginning in 2013 the Government has promoted the sale of such members in three separate groups (namely, commercial banking, regional banking, and securities and investment). As a result, the securities and investment members of the top three financial holding companies in Korea in terms of assets as of December 31, 2012 with a similarly ranked banking operation. Ifformer Woori Financial Group (including Woori Investment & Securities) were sold to other domestic financial institutions in the first half of 2014 and their regional banking members (namely, Kyongnam Bank and Gwangju Bank) were sold to other domestic financial institutions in October 2014. In November 2014, Woori Financial Group was dissolved and merged into Woori Bank, with all the remaining subsidiaries of the former Woori Financial Group having been converted into subsidiaries of Woori Bank. The Government continues to seek to sell Woori Bank, and the outlook for such sale remains uncertain. If one of major competitors or a foreign financial institution were to acquire Woori Bank or any of its major operating subsidiaries, were to be acquired by a rival bank or financial holding company, the consolidated entity willmay have a greater scale of
operations, including a larger customer base, and financial resources than us, which may hurt our ability to compete effectively. In addition, in February 2012,April 2013, Korea Exchange Bank became part of Hana Financial Group which ownsafter acquisition of the former by the latter in February 2012, and operatesin October 2014, Korea Exchange Bank entered into an agreement to be merged into Hana Bank, one of the major commercial banks in Korea,
received regulatory approval to acquire a controlling equity interest in Korea Exchange Bank, another major commercial bank in Korea, from Lone Star Funds, and in April 2013 Korea Exchange Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hana Financial Group and was delisted. In March 2012, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, another policy bank of the Government, was reorganized into a holding company structure pursuant to which several of its financial business units were spun off into separate subsidiaries, including banking, life insurance and non-life insurance units. Furthermore, former specialized policy banking institutions, such as the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and Industrial Bank of Korea are in the course of actively expanding their retail operations.Korea. Any of these developments may place us at a competitive disadvantage and outweigh any potential benefit to us in the form of opportunities to acquire new customers who are displeased with the level of services at the newly reorganized entities or to provide credit facilities to corporate customers who wish to maintain relationships with a wide range of banks in order to diversify their sources of funding.
As the Korean economy further develops and new business opportunities arise, more competitors may enter the financial services industry. Recently, banks are beginning to compete for new customers and it is likely that competition between bank-operated credit card companies and independent card companies willmay increase substantially. For example, as part of the aforementioned privatization efforts by the Government, Woori Card may be sold to another major credit card company, in 2009, Hana SKwhich case it is possible that a credit card company comparable to Shinhan Card was launchedin terms of asset size and customer base may newly emerge. Furthermore, as online service providers with large-scale user networks, such as Daum Kakao, make significant inroads in providing virtual payment services through a partnership between Hana Financial Group Inc.system based on a growing convergence of financial services and SK Telecom.technology commonly referred to as “fintech”, competition for online customers is growing not just among commercial banks, but also from online service providers. Accordingly, the commercial banks are facing increasing pressure to upgrade their service platforms to attract and maintain online users, which represents a growing customer base compared to traditional customers who have primarily conducted banking in-person at physical banking branches. In addition, in November 2011, BC Card became a subsidiary of KT Group while the KDB Group and Korea Post have recently announced their intentions to enter the credit card industry. Furthermore, large non-financial institutions, such as mobile telecommunications companies, have also been reported to be consideringwhich on a combined basis service most of the Korean population, may expand entry into the Korean credit card and consumer finance businesses by way of convergence with the existing and future mobile telephone networks. SK Telecom, Korea Telecom and LG Uplus have been actively providing mobile phone payment services through payment solutions tailored for smartphones. As these companies are the three largest telecommunications service providers in Korea serving a substantial majority of the Korean population,Accordingly, a widespread consumer acceptance of mobile phone payment services in lieu of credit card services could pose a seriousadd to competitive threat to the existing credit card service providers, including our credit card subsidiary.
Competition inRecently, following the Korean financial services industry may also intensify as a result of deregulation. For example, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which became effective in February 2009, promotes integration and rationalization of the Korean capital markets and financial investment products industry by permitting a wider range of financial services providers to engage in a broader sphere of financial activities, including depositary services, and has, to a significant extent, removed the regulatory barriers between securities brokerage, asset management, derivative financial services and trust services in favor of creating financial investment companies that may engage in all of the foregoing activities. Accordingly, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act enables the creation of large financial institutions that can offer both commercial and investment banking and asset management services modeled after the major global financial institutions based in the United States and Europe. Recently, in light of the recent global financial crisis, the Government has subjected Korean financial institutions to stricter regulatory requirements and guidelines in areas of asset quality, capital adequacy, liquidity and residential and other lending practices, which has had a dampening effect on competition. The Financial Services Commission implemented the capital requirements of Basel III, the minimum requirements of which are being phased in sequentially from December 1, 2013 and will become fully effective on January 1, 2019, based on the guidelines set forth in the amended Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business and the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business. In addition, the Financial Services Commission announced its plan to implement Basel III requirements relating to liquidity coverage ratio and countercyclical capital buffer in 2015 and 2016, respectively, among other Basel III requirements. However, there is no assurance that these measures will continue to curb competition or that the Government will not reverse or reduce such measures or introduce other deregulatory measures, which may further intensify competition in the Korean financial services industry.
If we are unable to compete effectively in the changing business and regulatory environment, our profit margin and market share may erode and our future growth opportunities may become limited, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and financial condition.operations.
We and our subsidiaries need to maintain our capital ratios above minimum required levels, and the failure to so maintain could result in the suspension of some or all of our operations.
We and our subsidiaries in Korea are required to maintain specified capital adequacy ratios. For example, effective January 1, 2015, we and our banking subsidiaries in Korea are required to maintain a minimum Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 4.0%6.0%, a common equity Tier I ratio of 4.5% and a BIS ratio of 8.0%. These ratios measure the respective regulatory capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets on a consolidated basis and are determined based on guidelines of the Financial Services
Commission. In addition, our subsidiaries Shinhan
Card, Shinhan Life Insurance and Shinhan Investment are required to maintain a consolidated adjusted equity capital ratio of 8.0%, a solvency ratio of 100% and a net operating capital ratio of 150%, respectively.
While we and our subsidiaries currently maintain capital adequacy ratios in excess of the respective required regulatory minimum levels, we or our subsidiaries may not be able to continue to satisfy the capital adequacy requirements for a number of reasons, including an increase in risky assets and provisioning expenses, substitution costs related to the disposal of problem loans, declines in the value of securities portfolios, adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in the capital ratio requirements, the guidelines regarding the computation of capital ratios, or the framework set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”) upon which the guidelines of the Financial Services Commission are based, or other adverse developments affecting our asset quality or equity capital or due to other reasons.
Specifically, beginning on January 1, 2008, the Financial Supervisory Service implemented the new Basel Capital Accord, commonly referred to as Basel II, in Korea, which has affected the measurement of risk by Korean financial institutions, including us and our subsidiaries. Building upon the initial Basel Capital Accord of 1988, commonly referred to as Basel I, which focused primarily on capital adequacy and asset soundness as a measure of risk, Basel II expanded this approach by considering additional risks such as operational risk. Basel II also instituted new measures that require us and our subsidiaries to take into account individual borrower credit risk and operational risk when calculating risk-weighted assets.capital.
In December 2010, the Basel Committee issued final rules in respect of (i) a global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems and (ii) an international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring, which together are commonly referred to as “Basel III.” The new minimum capital requirements, including the minimum common equity Tier 1 requirement of 4.5% and additional capital conservation buffer requirement of 2.5%, are scheduled to becurrently being implemented in phases during the period from January 2013 tountil January 1, 2019. Additional countercyclical capital buffer requirements are also expected to be phased in starting in 2016, which will range at the discretion of national regulators between 0% and 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Basel III introduced a minimum leverage ratio requirement that is currently proposed at 3% on a preliminary basis. The Basel Committee issued the full text of Basel III’s leverage ratio framework and disclosure in parallel withJanuary 2014. Public disclosure of the capital conservation buffer to a maximum levelcomponents of 2.5% effective on January 1, 2019, although individual jurisdictions may choose to implement larger countercyclical capital buffers. Effective January 1, 2011, the leverage ratio is subject to a supervisory monitoring period as well as a parallel run period fromrequired starting January 1, 2013 lasting to January 1, 2017. Further2015. The final calibration of the leverage ratio willand any further adjustments to its definition are currently expected to be carried out in the first half ofcompleted by 2017 with a viewand full compliance therewith is expected to migrating to the minimum regulatory capital requirement of Pillar 1, frombe required beginning January 1, 2018. We are currently in compliance with the Basel Committee’s capital requirement for trading book and complex securitization exposures. On January 13, 2011, the Basel Committee issued further minimum capital requirements to ensure that all classes of capital instruments fully absorb losses at the point of non-viability before taxpayers are exposed to loss. Instruments issued on or after January 1, 2013 may only be included in regulatory capital if the new requirements are met. The capital treatment of securities issued prior to this date will be phased out over a ten-year period commencing January 1, 2013.
The Financial Supervisory Service has announced proposed regulationsamended the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business to implement the capital requirements of Basel III in Korea under which the new Basel III capital requirements were phased in sequentially from September 2012 to November 2012, which regulations were expected to become finalDecember 2013 and became fully effective in December 2012.January 2015. Under the Financial Supervisory Service’s proposed regulations in respectamended Regulation on the Supervision of Basel III capital,the Banking Business, commercial banks in Korea will bemust meet certain minimum capital requirements with respect to risk-weighted assets. Specifically, effective from December 1, 2013, commercial banks are required to maintain a minimum total capital adequacy (BIS) ratio of 8.0%, a minimum common equitystock capital ratio of 3.5% and a minimum Tier I capital ratio of 4.5% and, effective from January 1, 2015, commercial banks are required to maintain a minimum total capital adequacy (BIS) ratio of 8.0%, a minimum common stock capital ratio of 4.5% and a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, which minimum. Effective January 1, 2015, if any bank fails to satisfy the above requirements, such bank will be phased in sequentially from January 1, 2013 and become fully effective on January 1, 2016. Starting January 1, 2016,subject to prompt corrective measures. In addition to such minimum capital requirements, capital conservation buffer requirements will be phased in sequentially throughfrom January 1,2016, at which time commercial banks will be required to reserve at least a 0.625% capital surcharge in its capital conservation buffer, and from January 2019, at which datetime commercial banks will be required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. However, in December 2012 the Financial Services Commission announced that it would delay the implementation of Basel III, and therefore the above proposed regulations have been delayed indefinitely. AccordingIf a commercial bank fails to this announcement, the timing and other detailsmaintain such capital conservation buffer requirements, such bank will be subject to certain restrictions relating to its use of income, such as distributing dividends and purchasing treasury stock. In addition, under the implementationamended Regulation on the Supervision of proposed regulations and the actual requirements (including in relationBanking Business, equity securities issued after December 1, 2013 must include a contingent capital feature as required under Basel III’s capital requirements. For equity securities issued before December 1, 2013, a certain amount thereof will be derecognized annually as equity securities pursuant to the capital adequacy ratios)transitional provisions of such amended regulations. However, equity securities issued after September 12, 2010 containing step-up provisions do not benefit from such transitional provisions and are to be decidednot recognized as equity securities in their full amount. Accordingly, the future in considerationSeries 12 non-voting redeemable preferred

Memorandum and Articles of among others, how other countries (including the United States and Europe) plan to implement Basel III.Incorporation — Description of Preferred Stock — Preferred Stock” for more details regarding our Series 12 non-voting redeemable preferred shares.
Our holding company is currently in compliance with Basel I requirementsWe and our banking subsidiaries are currently in compliance with Basel IIIII requirements and we and our banking subsidiaries are actively taking steps
to comply with the additional requirements under Basel III, as it becomes applicable. There can bein effect since December 1, 2013. However, there is no assurance that new requirements under Basel IIIwe will not require an increase in our banking subsidiaries’ credit risk capital requirements in the future, which may require our banking subsidiariescontinue to either improve their asset quality or raise additional capital.
Ifbe able to do so for whatsoever reason, and if the capital adequacy ratios of us or our subsidiaries were to fall below the required levels, the Financial Services Commission maymight impose penalties ranging from a warning to suspension or revocation of our or our subsidiaries’ business licenses. In order to maintain the capital adequacy ratios above the required levels, we or our subsidiaries may be required to raise additional capital through equity financing, but there is no assurance that we or our subsidiaries will be able to do so on commercially favorable terms or at all and, even if successful, any such capital raising may have a dilutive effect on our shareholders with respect to their interest in us or on us with respect to our interest in our subsidiaries.
Liquidity, funding management and credit ratings are critical to our ongoing performance.
Liquidity is essential to our business as a financial intermediary, and we may seek additional funding in the near future to satisfy liquidity needs, meet regulatory requirements, enhance our capital levels or fund the growth of our operations as opportunities arise.
For example, Basel III includes an international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring, as noted above, including a new minimum liquidity standard, known as the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”), which is designed to ensure that banks have an adequate stock of unencumbered high quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) that can be easily and speedily converted into cash in the private marketplace to survive a significant stress scenario lasting 30 calendar days. The LCR is computed as (a) the value of a banking organization’s HQLA, divided by (b) its total expected net cash outflows over the next 30 calendar days under stress scenarios. The minimum LCR is 100%. In January 2013, the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision released a revised formulation of the LCR, one of two quantitative liquidity measures approved in December 2010 as part of Basel III. The Basel Committee extended the timetable for full phase-in of the LCR fromto the effect that the minimum LCR has become 60% as of January 1, 2015 toand will thereafter rise by an annual increment of 10% so that the minimum LCR will be 100% as of January 1, 2019. TheIn December 2014, the Financial Supervisory Service is expected to promulgate proposedServices Commission promulgated regulations to implement the liquidity requirements of Basel III.III, including raising the minimum LCR to 80% as of January 1, 2015 and thereafter by an annual increment of 5% so that the minimum LCR for commercial banks in Korea will be 100% as of January 1, 2019.
A substantial part of the liquidity and funding requirements for our banking subsidiaries is met through short-term customer deposits, which typically roll over upon maturity. While the volume of our customer deposits has generally been stable over time, customer deposits have from time to time declined substantially due to the popularity of other, higher-yielding investment opportunities, namely stocks and mutual funds, for example, during times of bullish stock markets. During such times, our banking subsidiaries were required to obtain alternative funding at higher costs. There is no assurance that a similar development will not occur in the future. In addition, duein recent years, we have faced increasing pricing competition from our competitors with respect to the deregulationour deposit products. If we do not continue to offer competitive interest rates to our deposit customers, we may lose their business, which has traditionally provided a stable and low-cost source of depositary and settlement services as afunding. In addition, even if we are able to match our competitors’ pricing, doing so may result in an increase in our funding costs, which may have an adverse impact on our results of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, our banking subsidiaries may experience a decrease in customer deposits due to intensified competition among a more diversified group of financial services providers.operation.
We and our subsidiaries also raise funds in the capital markets and borrow from other financial institutions, the cost of which depends on the market rates and the general availability of credit and the terms of which may limit our ability to pay dividends, make acquisitions or subject us to other restrictive covenants. In addition, during times of sudden and significant devaluations of the Korean Won against the U.S. dollar as was the case recently amid the global liquidity crisis, Korean commercial banks, including our banking and credit card subsidiaries, had temporary difficulties in refinancing or obtaining optimal amounts of foreign currency-denominated funding on terms commercially acceptable to us. While we and our subsidiaries are not currently facing liquidity difficulties in any material respect, if we or our subsidiaries are unable to obtain the funding we need on terms commercially acceptable to us for an extended period of time for whatever reason, we may not be able to ensure our financial viability, meet regulatory requirements, implement our strategies or compete effectively.
Credit ratings affect the cost and other terms upon which we and our subsidiaries are able to obtain funding. Domestic and international rating agencies regularly evaluate us and our subsidiaries, and their ratings of our and our subsidiaries’ long-term debt are based on a number of factors, including our financial strength as well as
conditions affecting the financial services industry generally and the Korean economy in Korea.general. There can be no assurance that the rating agencies will maintain our current ratings or outlooks. There is no assurance that Shinhan Bank, Shinhan Card, any of our other major subsidiaries or our holding company will not experience a downgrade in their respective credit ratings and outlooks for reasons related to the general Korean economy or reasons specific to such entity. Any downgrade in the credit ratings and outlooks of us and our subsidiaries will likely increase the cost of our funding, limit our access to capital markets and other borrowings, require us to postprovide additional collateralcredit enhancement in financial transactions, and could increase the amount of regulatory liquidity we will be required to hold when Basel III liquidity requirements become effective, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity, net interest margins and profitability, and in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, bond and equity prices, and other market factors have affected and will continue to affect our business.business, results of operation and financial condition.
The most significant market risks we face are interest rate, foreign exchange and bond and equity price risks. Changes in interest rate levels, yield curves and spreads may affect the interest rate margin realized between lending and borrowing costs. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly in the Korean Won-U.S. dollarDollar exchange rates, affect the value of our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the reported earnings of our non-Korean subsidiaries and income from foreign exchange dealings, and substantial and rapid fluctuations in the exchange rates may cause difficulty in obtaining foreign currency-denominated financing in international financial markets on commercial terms acceptable to us or at all. The performance of financial markets may affect bond and equity prices and, therefore, cause changes in the value of our investment and trading portfolios. While we have implemented risk management systems to mitigate and control these and other market risks to which we are exposed, it is difficult to predict with accuracy changes in economic or market conditions and to anticipate the effects that such changes could have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant or sustained decreaseOf particular importance is the change in the base and market interest rates could decrease our net interest margin due to a mismatch in our assets and liabilities structures, which could have a material adverse effect on our asset quality and profitability.
Commencingrates. Since the onset of the global financial crisis in the second half of 2008, Korea, like many other countries, has experienced a low interest ratesrate environment despite some marginal fluctuations, in Korea declinedpart due to historically low levels as the government soughtGovernment’s policy to stimulate the economy through active rate-lowering measures. As the Korean economy showed signs of recovery, the Korean government increasedSince January 1, 2011, the base interest rate set by an aggregatethe Bank of 125 basis points duringKorea has remained within the period of 2010band between 1.75% and 2011 from 2.0% in 2010 to 3.25% in 2011; however, as an effort to spur domestic economy amid signs of protracted recession, the Korean government decreased. In March 2015, the base interest rate by an aggregatewas set at a historic low of 50 basis points during the period of 2011 and 2012 from 3.25% in 2011 to 2.75% in 2012 in order to stimulate the economy.1.75%.
Interest rate movements, in terms of magnitude and timing as well as their relative impacts on our assets and liabilities, have a significant impact on our net interest margin and profitability, particularly with respect to our financial products that are sensitive to such movements. For example, if the interest rates applicable to our loans (which are recorded as assets) decrease or increase at a slower pace or by a thinner margin than the interest rates applicable to our deposits (which are recorded as liabilities), our net interest margin will shrink and our profitability will be negatively affected. In addition, the relative size and composition of our variable rate loans and deposits (as compared to our fixed rate loans and deposits) may also impact our net interest margin. Furthermore, the difference in the average term of our interest-earning assets (primarily loans) compared to our interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits) may also impact our net interest margin. For example, since our deposits tend to have longer terms, on average, than those of our loans, our deposits are on average less sensitive to movements in the base interest rates on which our deposits and loans tend to be pegged, and therefore, a decrease in the base interest rates tends to decrease our net interest margin while an increase in the base interest rates tend to increase our net interest margin while a decrease in the base interest rates tendtends to have the opposite effect. While we continually managesmanage our assets and liabilities to minimize our exposure to interest rate volatility, such efforts by us may not mitigate the impact of interest rate volatility in a timely or effective
manner, and our net interest margin, and in turn our financial condition and results of operations, and financial condition, could suffer significantly.
We cannot assure you when and to what extent the Korean governmentGovernment will in the future raiseadjust the base interest rate, to which the market interest rate correlate, as such determinationcorrelate. A decision to adjust the base interest rate is subject to many policy considerations, including the general economic cycle, inflationary levels, interest rates in other economies and foreign currency exchange rates, among others. IfIn general, a decrease in interest rates adversely affects our interest income due to the differential maturity structure for our assets and liabilities as discussed above. Conversely, if there were to be a significant or sustained increase in interest rates, all else being equal, such movement would lead to a decline in the value of traded debt securities and could also raise our funding costs, while reducing loan demand, especially among retail customers. Rising interest rates may therefore require us to re-balance our assets and liabilities in order to minimize the risk of potential mismatches in our asset liability management and to maintain our profitability. In additional,addition, rising interest rates may adversely affect the Korean economy and the financial condition of our corporate and retail borrowers, including holders of our credit cards, which in turn may lead to deterioration of asset quality for our credit portfolio. Since most of our retail and corporate loans bear interest at rates that adjust periodically based on prevailing market rates, a sustained increase in interest rates will increase the funding costs of our borrowers and couldmay adversely affect their ability to make payments on their outstanding loans.
We may incur losses associated with our counterparty exposures.
We face the risk that counterparties will be unable to honor contractual obligations to us or our subsidiaries. These parties may default on their obligations to us or our subsidiaries due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons. This risk may arise, for example, from entering into swaps or other derivative contracts under which counterparties have obligations to make payments to us or our subsidiaries or in executing currency or other trades that fail to settle at the required time due to non-delivery by the counterparty or systems failure by clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries. CounterpartyAny realization of counterparty risk has increased especially in light of the global credit crisis and global economic downturn starting in 2008. For example, Shinhan Investment, our securities brokerage subsidiary, recorded losses of ￦91 billion in 2008 as a result of the bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers. There is no guarantee that similar losses to what happened during the global credit crisis of 2008 will not happen in the future, and such occurrence may have a material adverse effect onadversely affect our business, operations and financial condition and results of operations.condition.
Risks Relating to Our Banking Business
We have significant exposure to small- and medium-sized enterprises, and financial difficulties experienced by such enterprises may result in a deterioration of our asset quality.
Our banking activities are conducted primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Shinhan Bank. One of our core banking businesses has historically been and continues to be lending to small- and medium-sized enterprises (as defined in “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Our Principal Activities — Corporate and Investment Banking Services — Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises Banking”). Our loans to such enterprises amounted to ￦51,266W51,324 billion as of December 31, 2010, ￦52,2682012,W55,062 billion as of December 31, 20112013 and ￦51,324W59,889 billion as of December 21, 2012,31, 2014, representing 27.8%25.37%, 26.8%26.47% and 25.37%26.75%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio as of such dates.
Compared to loans to large corporations, which tend to be better capitalized and weather business downturns with greater ease, or loans to individuals and households, which tend to be secured with homes and with respect to which the borrowers are therefore less willing to default, loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises have historically had a relatively higher delinquency ratio. Prior to the onset of the recent global financial crisis, loans to such enterprises were the targets of aggressive lending by Korean banks, including Shinhan Bank, as part of their campaigns to increase their respective market shares. Many small- and medium-sized enterprises represent sole proprietorships or small businesses dependent on a relatively limited number of suppliers or customers and tend to be affected to a greater extent than large corporate borrowers by fluctuations in the Korean and global economy. In addition, small- and medium-sized enterprises often maintain less sophisticated financial records than large corporate borrowers. Therefore, it is generally more difficult for us to judge the level of risk inherent in lending to these enterprises, as compared to large corporations. In addition, many small- and medium-sized enterprises have closeare dependent on business relationships with large corporations in Korea, primarily as suppliers.
Any difficulties encountered by those large corporations would likely hurt the liquidity and financial condition of related small- and medium-sized enterprises, including those to which we have
exposure, also resulting in an impairment of their ability to repay loans. As large Korean corporations continue to expand into China and other countries with lower labor costs and other expenses through relocating their production plants and facilities to such countries, such development may have a material adverse impact on such small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Financial difficulties experienced by small- and medium-sized enterprises as a result of, among other things, recent economic difficulties in Korea and globally and aggressive marketing and intense competition among banks to lend to this segment in recent years, coupled with our efforts to counter asset quality deterioration through conservativecontrolled lending policy, have led to a fluctuation in the asset quality of our loans to this segment. As of December 31, 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 2012, under IFRS,2014, Shinhan Bank’s delinquent loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises were ￦492W487 billion, ￦597W320 billion and ￦487W332 billion, respectively, representing delinquency ratios (net of charge-offs and loan sales) of 0.86%0.89%, 1.04%0.55% and 0.89%0.53%, respectively. If the ongoing difficulties in the Korean or global economy were to be sustainedcontinue or experience an even more severe downturn,further aggravate, the delinquency ratio for our loans to the small- and medium-sized enterprises may rise significantly.
Of particular concern is theour significant exposure we have to enterprises in the real estate and leasing and construction industries. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank had outstanding loans to the real estate and leasing and construction industries (many of which are small- and medium-sized enterprises) of ￦15,717W17,639 billion and ￦4,898W3,148 billion, respectively, representing 9.4%9.30% and 2.9%1.66%, respectively, of ourits total loan portfolio as of such date. We also have other exposure to borrowers in these sectors of the Korean economy, including extending guarantees for the benefit of such companies and holding debt and equity securities issued by such companies. In addition, Shinhan Bank has exposure to borrowers in the shipbuilding and shipping industries, which are continuinghave yet to experience business downturns.stage a meaningful turnaround.
The enterprises in the real estate development and construction industries in Korea, which are heavily concentrated in the housing market, are currently experiencing a prolonged downturn characterized by reducedcontinue to experience sluggish growth due to stagnant real estate demand and stagnantdepressed real estate prices, especially in areas outside of Seoul, largely due to a combination of excessive supply of residential property, sustained efforts by the Korean governmentGovernment to stem speculation in the housing market, ongoing economic sluggishness in Korea and globally and the demographic changes in the Korean population. We also have a limited exposure to real estate project financing, particularly by construction companies that have built residential units in provinces outside the metropolitan Seoul area, which have experienced a relatively low rate of pre-sales, the proceeds from which the construction companies primarily rely on as a key source for their liquidity and cash flow.
The delinquency ratio for the small- and medium-sized enterprises in the construction industry may increase significantly if restructuring of troubled companies in this industry intensifies as a result of a Government initiative or concerted efforts by lending institutions to improve their asset quality. For example, in 2009 and 2010, in an effort to curtail further deterioration in the credit quality of troubled companies in certain industries that have been disproportionately affected by the recent global economic crisis, the Government encouraged a swift review of the credit quality of such companies and restructuring of troubled companies by creditor financial institutions, including Shinhan Bank. In accordance with such program, 29 construction companies became subject to workouts in February and March 2009. In addition, in June 2010, the Government announced that, following review of credit risk relating to 1,985 companies in Korea with outstanding debt of ￦50 billion or more, 65 of such companies would be subject to restructuring in the form of workout, liquidation or court receivership. Of the 65 companies, 16 were construction companies. There is no assurance that credit exposure to companies in the construction or other troubled industries will not increase in the future as a result of an economic downturn or for other reasons, and additional restructuring may follow as a result of a Government initiative or otherwise.
Any of the foregoing developments may result in deterioration in the asset quality of our banking subsidiaries. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Description of Assets and Liabilities — Credit Exposures to Companies in Workout Court Receivership or Composition.and Recovery Proceedings.” According to the annual evaluation conducted pursuant to the Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act in relation to exposure to troubled companies (which examines each large corporation with credit exposure of ￦50 billion or more and small- to –medium enterprises with credit exposure of ￦5 billion to ￦50 billion), in 2011 we had an aggregate exposure of ￦149.3 billion to
five conglomerates (for which we set out provisions in the aggregate amount of ￦15.6 billion) and an aggregate exposure of ￦113.2 billion to eight small- to medium-sized enterprises (for which we set out provisions in the aggregate amount of ￦15.9 billion) and in 2012 we had an aggregate exposure of ￦142.0 billion to four conglomerates (for which we set out provisions in the aggregate amount of ￦85.6 billion) and an aggregate exposure of ￦18.5 billion to one small- to medium-sized enterprise (for which we set out provisions in the aggregate amount of ￦18.5 billion).
We have been taking active steps to curtail delinquency among our small- and medium-sized enterprise customers, including by way of strengthening loan application review processes and closely monitoring borrowers in troubled sectors. Despite such efforts, there is no assurance that the delinquency ratio for our loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises will not rise in the future, especially if the Korean economy were to face renewed difficulties and a subsequent deterioration in the liquidity and cash flow of these borrowers. A significant rise in the delinquency ratios among these borrowers would lead to increased charge-offs and higher provisioning and reduced interest and fee income, from this segment in the future, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A decline in the value of the collateral securing our loans or our inability to fully realize the collateral value may adversely affect our credit portfolio.
Most of our mortgage and home equity loans are secured by borrowers’ homes, other real estate, other securities and guarantees (which are principally provided by the Government and other financial institutions), and a substantial portion of our corporate loans are also secured, including by real estate. As of December 31, 2012,
2014, the secured portion of Shinhan Bank’s loans amounted to ￦82,550W88,899 billion, or 57.2%55.6% of its total loans. There is no assurance that the collateral value will not materially decline in the future. Shinhan Bank’s general policy for mortgage and home equity loans is to lend up to 40% to 60%70% of the appraised value of the collateral and to periodically re-appraise such collateral. However, in light of the sustained downturn in the real estate market in Korea, the value of the collateral may fall below the outstanding principal balance of the underlying mortgage loans. Borrowers of such under-collateralized mortgages or loans may be forced to pay back all or a portion of such mortgage loans or, if unable to meet the collateral requirement through such repayment, sell the underlying collateral, which sales may lead to a further decline in the price of real estate in general and set off a chain reaction for other borrowers due to the further decline in the value of collateral. Declines in real estate prices reduce the value of the collateral securing our mortgage and home equity loans, and such reduction in the value of collateral may result in our inability to cover the uncollectible portion of our secured loans. A decline in the value of the real estate or other collateral securing our loans, or our inability to obtain additional collateral in the event of such decline, may result in the deterioration of our asset quality and require us to make additional loan loss provisions. In Korea, foreclosure on collateral generally requires a written petition to a Korean court. Foreclosure procedures in Korea generally take seven months to one year from initiation to collection depending on the nature of the collateral, and foreclosure applications may be subject to delays and administrative requirements, which may result in a decrease in the recovery value of such collateral. There can be no assurance that we will be able to realize the full value of collateral as a result of, among others, delays in foreclosure proceedings, defects in the perfection of collateral and general declines in collateral value. Our failure to recover the expected value of collateral could expose us to significant losses.
Guarantees received in connection with our real estate financing may not provide sufficient coverage.
Primarily through Shinhan Bank, we, alone or together with other financial institutions, provide financing to real estate development projects, which are concentrated largely in the construction of residential and, to a lesser extent, commercial complexes. Developers in Korea commonly use project financing to acquire land and pay for related project development costs. As a market practice, lenders in project financing, including Shinhan Bank, generally receive from general contractors a performance guarantee for the completion of projects by the developers as well as a payment guarantee for the loans raised by a special purpose financing vehicle established by the developers in order to procure the construction orders, as the developers tend to be small and highly leveraged. WhileAs of December 31, 2014, the general contractors tend to be large and well-established construction companies, giventotal outstanding amount of Shinhan Bank’s real estate project financing-related exposure was approximatelyW1.1 trillion, which represents a significant decrease over the years as Shinhan Bank has actively reduced new exposures in this area in light of the sustained downturn in the Korean real estate market and the construction industry in general, there is no guarantee that even such companies will have sufficient liquiditymarket. However, if defaults were to back up their guarantees made for the benefit of the developers if the
real estate development projects do not generate sufficient cash flow from pre-sales of the residential or commercial units. This is particularly the case for development projects outside the Seoul metropolitan area, which in recent years have had lower than expected levels of pre-sales. If defaults arisesignificantly increase under our existing loans to real estate development projects and the general contractors fail to pay the guaranteed amount necessary to cover the amount of our financings, thissuch development may have a material adverse effect onadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A limited portion of our credit exposure is concentrated in a relatively small number of large corporate borrowers, and future financial difficulties experienced by them may have an adverse impact on us.
Of Shinhan Bank’s 20 largest corporate exposures as of December 31, 2012, five2014, nine were companies that are or were members of the main debtor groups as identified by the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, which are largely comprised ofchaebols. chaebols. As of such date, the total amount of Shinhan Bank’s exposures to the main debtor groups was ￦29,976W31,225 billion, or 11.7%12.8%, of its total exposure. As of that date, Shinhan Bank’s single largest outstandingchaebol exposure to a main debtor group (mostly comprised of chaebols) amounted to ￦3,414W4,375 billion, or 1.3%1.8%, of ourits total exposures. In September 2012, Woongjin Holdings and Kukdong Engineering & Construction Co., large Korean corporationsLargely due to which Shinhan Bank had exposure in the amount of ￦14.9 billion and ￦44.9 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2012 filed for court receivership, and accordingly, Shinhan Bank established loan loss provisions for the full amount of such exposures as of December 31, 2012. In addition, in April 2013, as a result of the continued stagnation in the shipbuilding industry,and construction industries, current and former member companies of the STX Offshore & Shipbuilding, the flagship member company ofGroup, one of the leading conglomerates STX Group,in Korea, entered into voluntary arrangements with their creditors (including Shinhan Bank) to improve their credit situation, and in October 2013, Keangnam Enterprises Co., Ltd., a construction company in Korea, entered into workout proceedings. In October 2014, Dongbu Steel also entered into a voluntary arrangement with its creditors (including Shinhan Bank)led by Korea Development Bank, but our exposure to improve its credit situation. Ifthis company remains limited. Partly as a result of our active past efforts to reduce exposure to the shipbuilding and construction sectors, we currently have limited exposure to the aforementioned troubled companies. However, if the credit quality of our exposures to these and
other large corporations, including those in the main debtor groups, declines, we may be required to record additional loan loss provisions in respect of loans and impairment losses in respect of securities, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and capital adequacy. We cannot assure you that the allowances we have established against these exposures will be sufficient to cover all future losses arising from such exposures, especially in the case of a prolonged or renewed economic downturn.
In May 2010, creditor financial institutions entered into agreements with eightAs of December 31, 2014, 10 main debtor groups largely comprised ofchaebols, underto which such groups agreed to undertake plans to improve their financial conditions, including through the sale of subsidiaries. While Shinhan Bank was not the main creditor financial institutionhas credit exposure remained subject to any of these main debtor groups, Shinhan Bank was one of the creditor financial institutions and has exposure to a limited number of such corporations and main debtor groups. These main debtor groups arerestructuring programs or were otherwise making significant efforts to improve their financial conditions, such as by obtaining intragroup loans and entering into agreements to further improve their capital structures. As of December 31 2012, six main debtor groups are subject to the restructuring program. There is no assurance that there will not be future restructuring with Shinhan Bank’s major corporate customers or that such restructuring will not result in significant losses to Shinhan Bank with less than full recovery. In addition, bankruptcies or financial difficulties of large corporations, includingchaebolgroups, may have the adverse ripple effect of triggering delinquencies and impairment of our loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises that supply parts or labor to such corporations. If we experience future losses from our exposures to large corporations, includingchaebolgroups, it may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Description of Assets and Liabilities — Loans — Loan Portfolio — Exposure to Main Debtor Groups.”
Any deterioration in the asset quality of our guarantees and acceptances will likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the normal course of banking activities, we make various commitments and incur certain contingent liabilities in the form of guarantees and acceptances. Financial guarantees, which are contracts that require us to make specified payments to reimburse the beneficiary of the guarantee for a loss such beneficiary incurs because the debtor in respect of which the guarantee is given fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of the relevant debt instrument, are recognized initially at fair value, and such initial fair value is amortized over the life of the financial guarantee. Other guarantees are recorded as off-balance sheet items in the footnotes to our financial statements and those guarantees that we have confirmed to make payments are recorded on the
statements of financial position. As of December 31, 2012,2014, we had aggregate guarantees and acceptances of ￦14,788W15,110 billion, for which we provided allowances for losses of ￦112W107 billion. Such guarantees and acceptances include refund guarantees provided by us to shipbuilding companies, which involve guaranteeing a refund payment of the initial cash payment (typically 25% of the contract amount for ship orders) received by shipbuilders from buyers in the event that such shipbuilders are unable to deliver the ships in time or otherwise default under the shipbuilding contracts. In recent years, small-Small- and medium-sized shipbuilding companies have faced increasingcontinue to face financial difficulties due to the sluggishness of the global economic downturneconomy and the resulting slowdown in shipbuilding orders, which has increased the risk that they may default on their shipbuilding contracts and we may have to make payments under the refund guarantees. The refund guarantees provided by us to small- and medium-sized shipbuilding companies amounted to approximately ￦80.7W83 billion as of December 31, 2012.2014. If there is significant deterioration in the quality of assets underlying our guarantees and acceptances, our allowances may be insufficient to cover actual losses resulting in respect of these liabilities, or the losses we incur on the relevant guarantees and acceptances may be larger than the outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans.
Risks Relating to Our Credit Card Business
Future changes in market conditions as well as other factors, such as stricter regulation, may lead to reduced revenues and deterioration in the asset quality of credit card receivables.
In recent years, credit card and other consumer debt has increased significantly in Korea. As of December 31, 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 2012,2014, Shinhan Card’s interest-earning credit card assets amounted to ￦19,460W20,027 billion, ￦19,772W19,626 billion and ￦20,027W20,550 billion, respectively. Our large exposure to credit card and other consumer debt means that we are exposed to changes in economic conditions affecting Korean consumers in general. For example, a rise in unemployment, an increase in interest rates, a downturn in the real estate market, or a general contraction or other difficulties affecting the Korean economy may lead Korean consumers to reduce spending (a substantial portion of which is conducted through credit card transactions), which in turn leads to
reduced earnings for our credit card business, as well as to higher default rates on credit card loans, deterioration in the quality of our credit card assets and increased difficulties in recovering written-off assets from which a significant portion of Shinhan Card’s revenues is derived. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, recent Government regulations aimed at protecting small- and medium-sized enterprises, such as the reduction of fees chargeable to small- and medium-sized merchants, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues. Starting in 2012, the Government enlarged the definition of a small- and medium-sized merchant to those with annual sales of up to ￦200 million and lowered fees chargeable to such merchants to 1.8% in January 2012 and further to 1.5% in September 2012. The Government has also recently implemented measures regulating marketing costs in order to control excessive marketing campaigns and curtail undue marketing expenses. While the regulations lowering merchant fees is expected to have a negative impact on Shinhan Card’s revenues, we believe that such negative impact will be partially offset by the Government’s regulations restricting marketing expenses to reasonable levels. However, the Government may, in the future, impose further reduction in merchant fees chargeable by credit card companies. Furthermore, the Government may also introduce tax incentives and other measures to encourage the use of check cards (akin to debit cards in the United States where all outstanding balances are settled monthly) in lieu of credit cards in an attempt to preempt a potential rise in delinquency among credit card users, and if check cards are widely used in lieu of credit cards, this would reduce interest income from credit cards, which generally have a longer repayment period than that of check cards, and may have an adverse impact on Shinhan Card’s revenues and results of operations. In line with industry practice, Shinhan Card restructured certain of its delinquent loan balances. As of December 31, 2012, these restructured loans outstanding amounted to ￦208 billion.
Competition in the Korean credit card industry is intense and growing market saturation in the credit card sector may adversely affect growth prospects and profitability of Shinhan Card.
Competition in the credit card and consumer finance businesses remains intense as existing credit card companies, commercial banks, consumer finance companies and other financial and mobile telecommunications institutions in Korea have made significant investments and engaged in aggressive marketing campaigns and
promotions in these areas, notwithstanding the recent introduction of stricter regulatory measures, such as the reduction of merchant fees chargeable by credit card companies and the regulation of their marketing expenses. While the rapid increase in competition has somewhat subsided due to the less favorable regulatory environment engendered by recent implementation of various new laws such as restrictions on excessive marketing expenses and lowering of certain categories of merchant fees, competition remains intense. The growth, market share and profitability of our credit card subsidiary’s operations may decline or become negative as a result of market saturation in this sector, interest rate competition, pressure to lower fee rates and incur higher marketing expenses, as well as Government regulation and social and economic developments in Korea, such as changes in consumer confidence levels, spending patterns or public perception of credit card usage and consumer debt. For example, other credit card issuers may compete with Shinhan Card for customers by offering lower interest rates and fees, higher credit limits, different product offerings and/or better customer service, which may lead to a loss by Shinhan Card of accounts and/or account balances to competing credit card issuers. Customer attrition from any or all of Shinhan Card’s products, together with any lowering of interest rates or fees that Shinhan Card might implement to retain customers and higher marketing expenses could reduce its revenues and earnings. As the credit card market further matures and becomes more saturated in terms of the number of cardholders and transaction volume, the average credit quality of Shinhan Card’s customers may deteriorate if customers with higher credit quality borrow from our competitors rather than Shinhan Card and it may become more difficult for Shinhan Card to attract and maintain quality customers.
Shinhan Card’s ability to maintain its market position and continue its asset growth in the future will depend on, among others, its ability to (i) develop and market new products and services that are attractive to its customers, (ii) generate funding at commercially reasonable rates and in amounts sufficient to support preservation of assets and further asset growth, (iii) develop the personnel and systemic infrastructure necessary to manage its growth and increasingly diversified business operations and (iv) manage increasing delinquencies. In addition, external factors such as competition and Government regulation in Korea may limit Shinhan Card’s ability to maintain its growth, and economic and social developments in Korea, such as changes in consumer confidence levels or spending patterns, as well as changes in the public perception of credit card usage and consumer debt, could have an adverse impact on the growth of Shinhan Card’s credit card assets in the future. Furthermore, if Shinhan Card fails to simultaneously manage its asset quality and its asset growth or sacrifices asset quality in exchange for asset growth, its delinquency ratio may be adversely affected. If the rate of growth of Shinhan Card’s assets declines or becomes negative or its delinquency ratio increases, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Shinhan Card may not be able to increase consumer and business spending and borrowing on its card products or manage the costs of its cardholder benefits intended to stimulate such use.
Increasing consumer and corporate spending and borrowing on our card products and growth in card lending balances depend in part on Shinhan Card’s ability to develop and issue new or enhanced card and prepaid products and increase revenue from such products and services.services, as well as the level of discretionary income among our cardholders, which is largely affected by macroeconomic factors beyond our control. In addition, credit card companies in Korea, including Shinhan Card, may not be able to enjoy any rapid growth in revenue over the long term due to the maturing nature of the credit card industry, in part due to oversaturation of credit card service providers. Shinhan Card’s future earnings and profitability also depend on its ability to attract new cardholders, reduce cardholder attrition, increase merchant coverage and capture a greater share of customers’ total credit card spending in Korea and overseas. Shinhan Card may not be able to manage and expand cardholder benefits in a cost-effective manner or contain the growth of marketing, promotion and reward expenses to a commercially reasonable level. If Shinhan Card is not successful in increasing customer spending, maintaining or inexpanding its market position and asset growth, or containing costs or cardholder benefits, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be negatively affected.
Our customers may become victims to “voice phishing”, other financial scams or cyber security breaches, for which we may be required to make monetary compensationIn addition, Government regulations aimed at protecting small- and suffer damage to our business and reputation.
In recent years, financial scams known as voice phishing have been on the rise in Korea. While voice phishing takes many forms and has evolved over time in terms of sophistication, it typically involves the scammer making a phone call to a victim under false pretenses (for example, the scammer pretending to be a member of law enforcement, an employee of a financial institution or even an abductor of the victim’s child) and
luring the victim to transfer money to an untraceable account controlled by the scammer. More recently, voice phishing has increasingly taken the form of the scammer “hacking” or otherwise wrongfully obtaining personal financial information of the victim (such as credit card numbers or Internet banking login information) over the telephone or other means and illegally using such information to obtain credit card loans or cash advances through automated telephone banking or Internet banking. Reportedly, a substantial number of such scammers belong to international criminal syndicates with bases overseas,medium-sized enterprises, such as China, with operatives in Korea.
In responsethe reduction of fees chargeable to the growing incidents of voice phishing, regulatory authorities have undertaken a number of steps to protect consumers against voice phishingsmall- and other financial scams. However, there is no assurance however that the regulatory activities will have the desired effect of substantially eradicating or even containing the incidents of voice phishing or other financial scams. In addition, in November and December 2011, the Financial Supervisory Service conducted an investigation of major credit card companies, including Shinhan Card, in relation to card loan-related voice phishing, with a focus on whether these companies are in compliance with the related Financial Supervisory Service regulations and the scope of damage suffered by their customers as a result of voice phishing. No official results of such investigation have been made available to us or Shinhan Card to-date.
Pursuant to guidelines set forth by the Credit Finance Association of Korea, credit card companies in Korea, including Shinhan Card, adopted a standard compensation scheme for victims of voice phishing, under which the credit card companies would compensate up to 50% of the damage suffered by such victims, depending on the nature of the victims (for example, more compensation if the victim is handicapped or at the lowest income bracket) and the level of precautionary steps undertaken by the relevant credit card company before approving the credit card loans or cash advances in connection with voice phishing; provided that if the applicant personally made the application, for example, through an ATM terminal or an outcall procedure was undertaken to confirm the personal identity of the applicant, no compensation would be made. The compensation scheme applies to claims of voice phishing received for the period from January 1, 2011 to December 8, 2011. Although the financial institutions are often not legally at fault for the damage suffered by victims of voice phishing, the compensation scheme was adopted largely in consideration of social responsibility among financial institutions and that the financial institutions were not required to, and therefore in many instances did not, confirm the personal identity of the card loan or cash advance applicants prior to the adoption of such scheme. On December 8, 2011, Shinhan Card began implementing a mandatory outcall procedure to verify the personal identity of applicants for card loans and cash advances if not requested in person. In January 2012 financial institutions, Financial Supervisory Service, police and other related institutions formed a joint committee to prevent voice phishing incidents and implemented preventive measures such as enforcing a 10 minute delay for withdrawal of credit card loans of ￦3 million or more from an automated teller machine.
In 2012, Shinhan Card received 1,361 customer claims in relation to voice phishing in the aggregate amount of ￦9.5 billion. In 2012, Shinhan Card reserved as other provisioning ￦0.4 billion to cover potential liability.
Other than voice phishing, the cyber security risks relating to our businesses primarily involve the potential security breaches of our customers’ personal and financial information and illegal use thereof through system-wide “hacking” or other means. We are fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of cyber security and consumer protection measures and upgrading them continually. We believe that our ISO 27001-certified security management system is among the best-in-class in the industry. Our security management system continuously monitors for signs of potential cyber attacks, and is designed to provide early warning alerts to enable prompt actions on our part. We also actively provide employee training on cyber security and have adopted advanced security infrastructure for online financial services such as mandatory website certification and keyboard security functions. In addition, in compliance with applicable regulations we have recently obtained insurance to cover cyber security breaches up to ￦2 billion in relation to our banking business, ￦3 billion for our securities investment business and ￦1 billion for our credit card business. In addition, in light of the growing use of smartphones and other mobile devices to access financial services, we have implemented security measures to provide a secure mobile banking service as well as to prevent illegal leakage or sharing of customer data and otherwise enhance customer privacy.
We do not believe that the currently outstanding claims in relation to voice phishing will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, other than voice phishing incidents and the recent cyber security attacks as discussed above, we have not experienced any material security breaches in the past. Furthermore, we are actively taking steps to implement preventive and other steps recommended or required by the regulatory authorities in relation to actual and potential financial scams. However, major financial institutions in Korea, including us, have fallen victim to cyber security attacks in the past, and given the unpredictable and continually evolving nature of cyber security threats due to advances in technology or other reasons, we cannot assure you that, notwithstanding our best efforts at maintaining the best-in-class cyber security systems, we will not be vulnerable to major cyber security attacks in the future, whichmedium-sized merchants, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionrevenues from Shinhan Card. In January 2012, the Government expanded the definition of a small- and medium-sized merchant to include those with annual sales of up toW200 million and effective September 2012, lowered fees chargeable to such merchants from 1.8% to 1.5% with respect to credit cards. In 2013, the Government also implemented measures regulating marketing costs in order to control excessive marketing campaigns and curtail undue marketing expenses, which had the effect of impeding revenue growth for credit card companies, but also reduced or slowed the growth in their marketing expenses. In addition, effective December 2013, the Government introduced guidelines to curb the interest rates that credit card companies, including Shinhan Card, may charge on card loans and cash advances. Furthermore, the Government also provides tax incentives, among others, for the use of check cards (where the amounts paid with check cards are instantly debited from the customer’s bank accounts) to encourage the use of check cards in lieu of credit cards in an attempt to preempt a potential rise in delinquency among credit card users, and if check cards are widely used in lieu of credit cards, this would reduce interest income from credit cards, which generally have a longer repayment period than that of check cards, and may have an adverse impact on Shinhan Card’s revenues and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to incur substantial costs in terms of compensation to victims of cyber security attacks and compliance costs with the present and future regulatory restrictions as well as suffer reputational costs as well as reparation and other costs related to system malfunction in the case of a widespread cyber security breach.
Risks Relating to Our Other Businesses
We may incur significant losses from our investments and, to a lesser extent, trading activities due to market fluctuations.
We enter into and maintain large investment positions in fixed income products, primarily through our treasury and investment operations. We describe these activities in “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Our Principal Activities — Corporate and Investment Banking Services.” We also maintain smaller trading positions, including equity and equity-linked securities and derivative financial instruments as part of our operations. Taking these positions entails making assessments about financial market conditions and trends. The revenues and profits we derive from many of these positions and related transactions are dependent on market prices, which are beyond our control. When we own assets such as debt or equity securities, a decline in market prices, for example, as a result of fluctuating market interest rates or stock market indices, can expose us to trading and valuation losses. If market prices move in a way that we have not anticipated, we may experience losses. In addition, when markets are volatile and subject to rapid changes in the price directions, the actual market prices may be contrary to our assessments and lead to lower than anticipated revenues or profits, or even result in losses, with respect to the related transactions and positions.
We may generate losses from our brokerage and other commission- and fee-based business.
We, through our investment and other subsidiaries, currently provide, and seek to expand the offerings of, brokerage and other commission- and fee-based services. Downturns in stock markets typically lead to a decline in the volume of transactions that we execute for our customers and, therefore, to a decline in our non-interest revenues. In addition, because the fees that we charge for managing our clients’ portfolios are often based on the size of the assets under management, a downturn in the stock market, which has the effect of reducing the value of our clients’ portfolios or increasing the amount of withdrawals, also generally reduces the fees we receive from our securities brokerage, trust account management and other asset management services. Even in the absence of a market downturn, below-market performance by our securities, trust account or asset management subsidiaries may result in increased withdrawals and reduced cash inflows, which would reduce the revenue we receive from these businesses. In addition, protracted declines in asset prices can reduce liquidity for assets held by us and lead to material losses if we cannot close out or otherwise dispose of deteriorating positions in a timely way or at commercially reasonable prices.
Other Risks Relating to Us as the Holding Company
Our ability to continue to pay dividends and service debt will depend on the level of profits and cash flows of our subsidiaries.
We are a financial holding company with minimal operating assets other than the shares of our subsidiaries. Our primary source of funding and cash flow is dividends from, or disposition of our interests in, our subsidiaries or our cash resources, most of which are currently the result of borrowings. Since our principal assets are the outstanding capital stock of our subsidiaries, our ability to pay dividends on our common and preferred shares and service debt will mainly depend on the dividend payments from our subsidiaries.
Companies in Korea are subject to certain legal and regulatory restrictions with respect to payment of dividends. For example, under the Korean Commercial Code, dividends may only be paid out of distributable income, which is calculated by subtracting the aggregate amount of a company’s paid-in capital and certain mandatory legal reserves from its net assets, in each case as of the end of the prior fiscal year. In addition, financial companies in Korea, including banks, credit card companies, securities companies and life insurers, such as our subsidiaries, must meet minimum capital requirements and capital adequacy ratios applicable to their respective industries before dividends can be paid. For example, under the Banking Act, a bank also is required to credit at least 10% of its net profit to a legal reserve each time it pays dividends on distributable income until such time when this reserve equals the amount of its total paid-in capital, and under the Banking Act, the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act and the regulations promulgated by the Financial Services Commission, if a bank or a credit card company fails to meet its required capital adequacy ratio or is otherwise subject to the management improvement measures imposed by the Financial Services Commission, then the Financial Services Commission may restrict the declaration and payment of dividend by such a bank or credit card company. In addition, if our or our subsidiaries’ capital adequacy ratios fall below the required levels, our ability to pay dividends may be restricted by the Financial Services Commission.
Damage to our reputation could harm our business.
We are one of the largest and most influential financial institutions in Korea by virtue of our financial track records, market share and the size of our operations and customer base. Our reputation is critical to maintaining our relationships with clients, investors, regulators and the general public. Our reputation can be damaged in numerous ways, including, among others, employee misconduct (including embezzlement), cyber or other security breaches, litigation, compliance failures, corporate governance issues, failure to properly address potential conflicts of interest, the activities of customers and counterparties over which we have limited or no control, prolonged or exacting scrutiny from regulatory authorities and customers regarding our trade practices, or uncertainty about our financial soundness and our reliability. If we are unable to prevent or properly address these concerns, we could lose our existing or prospective customers and investors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our risk management policies and procedures may not be fully effective at all times.
In the course of our operations, we must manage a number of risks, such as credit risks, market risks and operational risks. Although we devote significant resources to developing and improving our risk management policies and procedures and expect to continue to do so in the future, our risk management techniquespractices may not be fully effective at all times in eliminating or mitigating risk exposures in all market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that are unidentified or unanticipated. For example, from time to time, a limited number of our and our subsidiaries’ personnel have engaged in embezzlement of substantial amounts for an extended period of time before such activities were detected by our risk management systems. In response to these incidents, we have strengthened our internal control procedures by, among others, implementing a real-time monitoring system, but there is no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to prevent similar employee misconducts in the future. Management of credit, market and operational risk requires, among others, policies and procedures to record properly and verify a large number of transactions and events, and we cannot assure you that these policies and procedures will prove to be fully effective at all times against all the risks we face.
Legal claims and regulatory risks arise in the conduct of our business.
In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to regulatory oversight and potential legal and administrative liability risk. We are also subject to a variety of other claims, disputes, legal proceedings and government investigations in Korea and other jurisdictions where we are active. These types of proceedings expose us to substantial monetary damages and legal defense costs, injunctive relief, criminal and civil penalties and the potential for regulatory restrictions on our businesses. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted and they could adversely affect our future business.
Due to a global economic slowdown and a deteriorating Korean stock market in the second half of 2008, investment funds whose performance was tied to domestic and foreign stock market indices experienced a sharp
fall in their rates of return. Consequently, investors in these funds brought lawsuits againstShinhan Bank, like many other commercial banks in Korea, that sold suchis currently subject to litigation in relation to investment fund products based on the allegation that such banks used defective sales practices in selling such products, such as failing to comply with disclosure requirements or unfairly inducing them to invest in such products. For example, in 2009, we, like other commercial banks that sold similar products, became a defendant in lawsuits in connection with the sale of foreign currency derivatives products known as “KIKOs,”“KIKOs”. KIKOs, which stands for “knock-in knock-out,” are foreign currency derivative products under the terms of which the seller is obligated to pay the buyer a certain of our customers comprised mostly of small- and medium-sized enterprises. The KIKOs, which are intended to be hedging instruments, operate so thatamount if the value of Korean Won increases toappreciates beyond a certain level we are requiredand the buyer is obligated to pay the purchasersseller a certain amount and if the value of Korean Won falls belowappreciates beyond a certain level,level. Intended as a hedging instrument, these products were sold to mostly small businesses primarily prior to the purchasersonset of KIKOs are required to pay us a certain amount. Asthe global financial crisis in 2008, but when the Korean Won significantly and suddenly depreciated againstduring the U.S. dollar inglobal financial crisis, the second half of 2008, purchasers of KIKOs were required underinvestors became obligated to pay a substantial sum to the relevant contracts to make large payments to us, and some of such purchasers filed lawsuitsbanks, including Shinhan Bank. Subsequently, the investors brought suit to nullify their obligations under the allegation that we did not sufficientlycontracts on grounds of imperfect sale alleging failure on the part of the selling banks to fully disclose the risks in investing in KIKOs and unfairly induced them to make such investments.associated risk. As of December 31, 2012, we2014, the courts had won 26 outconclusively found in our favor in 45 of 3754 KIKO-related cases lost sevenand at the lower court level and four cases are pendingleast partially against us in the lower court level. If we lose our cases on appeal, the court may nullify the contracts under which KIKO products were sold and order us to return payments received from the customers.remaining nine cases. As of December 31, 2012,2014, seven KIKO-related cases were in proceeding for which the aggregate amount of the outstanding KIKO-related claims in dispute was ￦205.9W46.6 billion for whichand we set aside ￦24.4W6.1 billion as allowance.allowance in respect of such claims. See “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Legal Proceedings” for more information on the legal and regulatory proceedings currently pending against us. While it is difficult to predict the outcome of each lawsuit against us, as it will ultimately depend on the specific facts and circumstances underlying such lawsuit, if the courts rule against us, the lawsuits may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the KIKO-related claims, we have also faced complaints and, to a lesser extent, litigation from customers based on claims of (i) inadequate disclosure of risk related to the potential loss of principal when we sold currency forward contracts designed to hedge against currency risks in overseas mutual fund investments, (ii) approval of customer applications for purchases of our investment products with missing information without first confirming such missing items with customers and (iii) our discretionary liquidation of small-size investment funds as permitted under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act but without first seeking customer approval. In connection with the foregoing claims, we were defendants in two court proceedings for an aggregate claim amount of ￦0.8 billion as of December 31, 2012, for which we set aside a minimal amount as allowance. The amount claimed may increase in the course of litigation and there may be other lawsuits that may be brought against us based on similar allegations.
While we plan to rigorously defend our positions in the foregoing lawsuits, it is difficult to predict the final outcome of litigation. The total amount in dispute may increase during the course of litigation and other lawsuits may be brought against us based on similar allegations. Accordingly, these lawsuits, especially if the courts finally rule against us, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, while in response to the foregoingpast or current claims or in order to prevent future legal claims we have implemented extensive employee training and other operational processes and procedures to provide adequate disclosure, prevent unfair inducement and otherwise comply with all relevant laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that, despite due training and other preventive measures, all of our employees in charge of such sales have not breached disclosure requirements, engaged in unfair inducement or committed similar acts or will not do the same in the future and, as a result, we may face additional claims or litigation in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
We may experience disruptions, delays and other difficulties relating to our information technology systems.
We rely on our information technology systems to seamlessly provide our wide-ranging financial services as well as for our daily operations, including billing, online and offline financial transactions settlement and record keeping. We alsocontinually upgrade, from timeand make substantial expenditures to timeupgrade, our group-wide information technology system, including in relation to customer data-sharing and other customer relations management systems. Wesystems, particularly in light of the heightened cyber security risks from advances in technology. Despite our best efforts, however, we may experience disruptions, delays, cyber or other security breaches or other difficulties relating to our information technology systems, and may not timely upgrade our systems as currently planned. Any of these developments may have an adverse effect on our business, particularly if our customers perceive us to not be providing the best-in-class cyber security systems and adversely impactfailing to timely and fully rectify any glitches in our customers’ confidence in us.
Our activities are subject to cyber security risk.
Our activities have been, and will continue to be, subject to an increasing risk of cyber attacks,cyber-attacks, the nature of which is continually evolving. Cyber security risks include unauthorized access, through system-wide “hacking” or other means, to privileged and sensitive customer information, including passwords and account information, of our retail and corporate customers. For example, manyillegal use thereof. The cyber security risk is generally on the rise as a growing number of our customers increasingincreasingly rely on our InternetInternet- and mobile phone-based banking services for various types of financial transactions, the public is developing heightened awareness about the importance of keeping their personal data private and while such transactionsthe financial regulators are protectedplacing greater emphasis on personal data protection by financial service providers. While we vigilantly protect customer data through encryption and other security programs, they arethere is no assurance that such data will not free frombe subject to future security breaches. We have made substantial investments to build and upgrade our systems and defenses to address the growing threats from cyber attacks.cyber-attacks which are increasingly becoming sophisticated based on evolving technology.
For example, in December 2013 it was reported that there was a leakage of personal information of approximately 130,000 customers of Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank in Korea, which leakage was attributed to a third party sub-contractor in the case of Standard Chartered Bank, and an employee in the case of Citibank. In addition, in January 2014, it was reported that there was a leakage of personal information of approximately 100 million customers of NH Card, Lotte Card and KB Card in Korea due to illegal access to such information by an employee of a third party credit information company in the course of developing information technology programs for these three credit card companies, following which the regulatory authorities imposed a brief suspension on telemarketing for all financial institutions in the beginning of 2014. In March 2013, we experienced a temporary interruption in providing online financial services due to large-scale cyber attackscyber-attacks on the security systems of major broadcasting networks and financial institutions in Korea by sources that have yet to be identified. TheWhile the interruption of our online financial services lasted approximately 90 minutes, after which our online system resumed without further malfunction. The Financial Supervisory Service is currently conducting an investigation into the incident. Wemalfunction, we do not believe such incident resulted in any material loss, loss of customer information or other sensitive data or unauthorized financial transactions. The Financial Supervisory Service conducted an investigation into the incident and found that Shinhan Bank and Jeju Bank had not properly maintained their information technology administrator accounts and vaccine servers. As a result, in December 2013, the Financial Supervisory Service notified Shinhan Bank and Jeju Bank of an institutional caution (which does not give rise to significant sanctions unlike in the case of repeated institutional warnings), in December 2013 against Shinhan Bank and Jeju Bank and imposed disciplinary actions against five of Shinhan Bank’s employees and three of Jeju Bank’s employees. In response to the Financial Supervisory Service’s findings, Shinhan Bank and Jeju Bank adopted additional safety measures, including total segregation between their internal and external networks and enhancements to their security and vaccine programs.
In order to minimize the risk of security breaches related to customer and our other proprietary information, we have taken a series of group-wide preventive measures, such as the adoption and implementation of a best-in-class information security system and reinforcement of internal control measures, and we have not experienced any similar large scale leakage of customer information. We are also fully committed to maintaining the highest
standards of cyber security and consumer protection measures and upgrading them continually. We have implemented the ISO 27001-certified security management system for us and all our subsidiaries, and we are currently in the process of obtaining the Information Security Management System certification for us and all our subsidiaries. We believe such certifications represent third-party validations that we are in compliance with best-in-class international standards on matters of information security. Our security management system continuously monitors for signs of potential cyber-attacks or other security breaches, and is designed to provide early warning alerts to enable prompt action on our part. We also provide intensive training to our information technology staff and our other employees on cyber security and other security breaches and have adopted advanced security infrastructure (including through hiring a highly competent team of information security experts) for online financial services such as mandatory website certification and keyboard security functions. In addition, in compliance with applicable regulations we currently carry insurance to cover cyber security breaches up toW2 billion in relation to our banking business and up toW3 billion in the aggregate and up toW1 billion per incident for our securities investment business and have set aside a reserve ofW1 billion for our credit card business. In addition, in light of the growing use of smartphones and other mobile devices to access financial services, we have implemented security measures (including encryptions and service terminal monitoring) to provide a secure mobile banking service as well as to prevent illegal leakage or sharing of customer data and otherwise enhance customer privacy. We are also keenly aware of the litigation and regulatory sanctions risks that may arise from security breaches and are aggressively reinforcing a groupwide culture that stresses safety and good custodianship as among our highest priorities. Furthermore, we are actively taking steps to implement preventive and other steps recommended or required by the regulatory authorities in relation to actual and potential financial scams. However, major financial institutions in Korea, including us, have fallen victim to cyber security attacks in the past, and given the unpredictable and continually evolving nature of cyber security threats due to advances in technology or other reasons, we cannot assure you that, notwithstanding our best efforts at maintaining the best-in-class cyber security systems, we will not be vulnerable to major cyber security attacks in the future. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will not experience a leakage of customer information or other sensitive data.security breaches in the future as a result of illegal activities by its internal employees, outside consultants or hackers, or otherwise.
If a cyber or other security breach were to happen with respect to us or any of our subsidiaries, it may result in litigation by affected customers or other third parties (including class actions), compensation for any losses suffered by victims of cyber security attacks, reputational damage, loss of customers, heightened regulatory scrutiny and related sanctions, compliance with the present and future regulatory restrictions, and other costs related to damage control, reparation and reinforcement of information security systems, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
Our customers may become victims to “voice phishing” or other financial scams, for which we may be required to make monetary compensation and suffer damage to our business and reputation.
In recent years, financial scams known as voice phishing have been on the rise in Korea. While voice phishing takes many forms and has evolved over time in terms of sophistication, it typically involves the scammer making a phone call to a victim under false pretenses (for example, the scammer pretending to be a member of law enforcement, an employee of a financial institution or even an abductor of the victim’s child) and luring the victim to transfer money to an untraceable account controlled by the scammer. More recently, voice phishing has increasingly taken the form of the scammer “hacking” or otherwise wrongfully obtaining personal financial information of the victim (such as credit card numbers or Internet banking login information) over the telephone or other means and illegally using such information to obtain credit card loans or cash advances through automated telephone banking or Internet banking. Reportedly, a substantial number of such scammers belong to international criminal syndicates with bases overseas, such as China, with operatives in Korea.
In response to the growing incidents of voice phishing, regulatory authorities have undertaken a number of steps to protect consumers against voice phishing and other financial scams. There is no assurance, however, that the regulatory activities will have the desired effect of substantially eradicating or even containing the incidents
of voice phishing or other financial scams. For example, following an investigation in November and December 2011 of major credit card companies, including Shinhan Card, as to their compliance with regulations on card loan-related voice phishing and the scope of damage suffered by customers as a result of voice phishing, the Financial Supervisory Service issued a number of guidelines for credit companies to comply with in order to minimize damage from voice phishing, including, among others, (i) strengthening identity verification procedures for card loan applications that are made online or through the automated response system, (ii) delaying the timing of loan payout by a few hours following the approval of card loan application, and (iii) giving an option to customers to block card loan applications. In May 2012, Shinhan Card completed all necessary steps to fully comply with these additional guidelines and has been in full compliance since then.
Although the financial institutions are often not legally at fault for the damage suffered by victims of voice phishing, the compensation scheme was adopted largely in consideration of social responsibility among financial institutions and that the financial institutions were not required to, and therefore in many instances did not, confirm the personal identity of the card loan or cash advance applicants prior to the adoption of such scheme. On December 8, 2011, Shinhan Card began implementing a mandatory outcall procedure to verify the personal identity of applicants for card loans and cash advances if not requested in person. In January 2012, financial institutions, the Financial Supervisory Service, the police and other related institutions formed a joint committee to prevent voice phishing incidents and implemented preventive measures such as enforcing a 10 minute delay for withdrawal of credit card loans ofW3 million or more from an automated teller machine.
Partly as a result of these efforts, the claims that Shinhan Card received in 2014 in relation to voice phishing amounted only to an aggregate amount ofW0.31 billion from 81 customers, for which Shinhan Card reserved as other provisioningW0.11 billion to cover its potential liability. Accordingly, we do not believe that the currently outstanding claims in relation to voice phishing will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, other than voice phishing incidents and the recent cyber security attacks as discussed above, we have not experienced any material security breaches in the past. However, given continual advances in technology and the increasing sophistication of the financial scammers, there is no assurance that suchwe will be able to prevent future financial scams, or similar incidentthat the frequency and scope of financial scams will not rise. If financial scams involving us and our subsidiaries were to continue or to become more prevalent, it may not recur in the future, which would result in suchcompensation for any losses suffered by victims thereof, reputational damage, loss of customers, heightened regulatory scrutiny and related sanctions, compliance with the present and future regulatory restrictions, and other costs related to damage control, reparation and reinforcement of our preventive measures, any of which may have a material loss or leakage and materially harmadverse effect on our business, results of operation and reputation.financial condition.
Risks Relating to Law, Regulation and Government Policy
We are a heavily regulated entity and operate in a legal and regulatory environment that is subject to change, and violations could result in penalties and other regulatory actions.
As a financial services provider, we are subject to a number of regulations that are designed to maintain the safety and soundness of Korea’s financial system, to ensure our compliance with economic and other obligations and to limit our risk exposure. These regulations may limit our activities, and changes in these regulations may increase our costs of doing business. Regulatory agencies frequently review regulations relating to our business and implement new regulatory measures, including increasing the minimum required provisioning levels or capital adequacy ratios applicable to us and our subsidiaries from time to time. We expect the regulatory environment in which we operate to continue to change. Changes in regulations applicable to us, our subsidiaries and our or their business or changes in the implementation or interpretation of such regulations could affect us and our subsidiaries in unpredictable ways and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and financial conditions.operations.
For example, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which became effective as of February 4, 2009, financial institutions, including us and our subsidiaries, may offer a broader range of investment products with novel and complex structures, including by way of hedge funds and private equity funds. Such products may involve greater counterparty risks as well as compliance risks associated with inadequate disclosure of investment risks. In addition, upon implementation of the proposed Financial Consumer Protection Act which is currently being considered by(currently pending at the Financial Services Commission and Financial Supervisory Service,National Assembly for a vote), customers of financial services will be entitled to heightened investor
protection measures, including additional remedies in the case of “imperfect sales” of financial products based on inadequate disclosure or unfair inducement, such as mandatory compensatory damages, right of rescission, class action eligibility and double damages in case of a statutory violation. Furthermore, in an effort to curb the substantial rise recently in retail loans in Korea, the regulators may adopt measures and guidelines designed to limit further growth of our retail lending, in particular mortgage and home equity loans that are deemed to be “high-risk” (namely, mortgage and home equity loans of over ￦50 million (i) whose principal and interest are due at maturity, (ii) whose interest is due periodically over the term of the loan but whose principal is due at maturity, or (iii) whose borrower has more than three mortgage and home equity loans from financial institutions). We may also become subject to other restrictions on our operations as a result of future changes in laws and regulations, including the more stringent liquidity and capital requirements under Basel III, which will be adopted in phases in Korea in consideration of, among others, the pace and scope of international adoption of such requirements. Any of these regulatory developments may have a material adverse effect on our ability to expand operations or adequately manage our risks and liabilities. For further details on the principal laws and regulations applicable to us as a holding company and our principal subsidiaries, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Supervision and Regulation.”
In addition, violations of law and regulations could expose us to significant liabilities and sanctions. For example, the Financial Services CommissionSupervisory Service conducts periodic audits on us and, from time to time, we have
received institutional warnings from the Financial Services Commission.Supervisory Service. If the Financial Services CommissionSupervisory Service determines as part of such audit or otherwise that our financial condition, including the financial conditions of our operating subsidiaries, is unsound or that we have violated applicable law or regulations, including Financial Services Commission orders, or if we or our operating subsidiaries fail to meet the applicable requisite capital ratio or the capital adequacy ratio, as the case may be, set forth under Korean law, the Financial Services Commission may order, among others, at the level of the holding company or that of the relevant subsidiary, capital increases or reductions, suspension of officers from performing their duties and appointment of custodians, stock cancellations, consolidations, transfers of business, sales of assets, closures of branch offices, mergers with other financial institutions and/or suspensions of a part or all of our business operations. To date, Shinhan Bank has received two institutional warnings in the past three years. If it receives another institutional warning within a three-year period, it may become subjectFrom time to aggravated regulatory sanctions, including suspension of part of its business. If any of such measures is imposed on us or ontime, our subsidiaries, as a result of unsound financial condition or failure to comply with minimum capital adequacy requirements or for other reasons, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For further details on the principal laws and regulations applicable to us as a holding company and our principal subsidiaries, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Supervision and Regulation.”
Increased government involvement in the economy and tighter regulation of the financial services industry in Korea in response to a financial crisis or economic downturn could impose greater restrictions on our business and hurt our profitability.
During the global financial crisis and the ensuing economic downturn starting in 2008, many governments worldwide, including the Government, became involved in providing assistance, including by direct investment, to troubled financial institutions and corporations, typically in exchange for increased government monitoring and guidance of the operations of such entities. In Korea, for example, in 2008 and 2009 several major commercial banks, including Shinhan Bank applied for Government-backed credit lines, which if drawn down wouldand Shinhan Card, have imposed greater Government monitoring of their operations. While no drawdown has been made and these programs have since terminated, there is no assurance that if the Korean subject to investigations and/or global economy were to experience another severe crisis, financial institutions in Korea, including us and our subsidiaries, will not require special assistancesanctions from the Government, which would generally impose greater government monitoringFinancial Supervisory Service. See “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and restrictions onOther Financial Information — Legal Proceedings.” Any such investigation and/or sanctions could adversely impact our business and operations and may have a material adverse effect on ourreputation, business, results of operationsoperation and financial condition.
In light of the widely held perception that the recent global liquidity crisis is at least partly attributable to deficiencies in the risk management systems and capital adequacy of financial institutions, many governments worldwide have taken or are considering taking measures to increase regulatory oversight in these and other areas. Examples of such measures currently being considered by the Government include proposals to further regulate capital and liquidity of financial institutions in line with Basel II and Basel III. There can be no assurance that such measures will have the desired consequences or not have unintended adverse consequences which could hurt our business, results of operations and financial condition or profitability.
The Korean government may encourage targeted lending to and investment in certain sectors in furtherance of policy initiatives,objectives, and we may take this factor into account.
The Government has encouraged and may in the future encourage targeted lending to or investment in the securities of certain types of borrowersenterprises and other financial institutionsindividuals in furtherance of government initiatives. The Government, through its regulatory bodies such as the Financial Services Commission, has in the past announcedfrom time to time announces lending policies to encourage Korean banks and financial institutions, including us and our subsidiaries, to lend to or invest in particular industries, business groups or customer segments, and, in certain cases, has provided lower cost funding through loans made by the Bank of Korea for further lending to specific customer segments. While allFor example, the Government has taken and is taking various initiatives to support small- and medium-sized enterprises and low-income individuals, who were disproportionately affected by the downturn in the Korean and global economy in the late 2000s and have yet to fully recover.
In addition, the financial regulators have adopted several measures designed to improve certain lending practices of ourthe commercial banks which practices were perceived as having an unduly prohibitive effect on extending loans or securities investments are reviewedto small- to medium-sized enterprises. Moreover, as a way of supporting the Government’s initiative to assist promising start-ups and venture companies, in accordance with our internalFebruary 2015 the financial regulators announced that they would encourage the banks in Korea to increase lending to technology companies in the small- to medium-sized enterprise segment by an annual target ofW20 trillion and to enhance technology-related credit review policiescapabilities. Furthermore, in February 2014, the Financial Services Commission announced that it plans to increase fixed interest rate housing loans and installment principal repayment-based housing loans each as a proportion of the housing loans extended by commercial banks (which loans have historically been, for the most part, variable interest rate loans with the entire principal being repaid at maturity, which is usually rolled over on an annual basis). According to this plan, the target proportion for the fixed interest rate, installment principal repayment housing loans was 20% by the end of 2014, 25% by the end of 2015, 30% by the end of 2016 and 40% by the end of 2017. In addition, an expanded tax deduction limit for interest repayment will be
granted for loans with maturity of 10 years or internal investment guidelinesmore (compared to 15 years or more prior to this plan). According to the assessment by the Financial Services Commission in January 2015 of the restructured housing loans by banks in Korea as of December 31, 2014, fixed interest rate and regulations,installment principal repayment-based housing loans accounted for 23.6% and 26.5%, respectively, exceeding target proportions for 2014. The Financial Services Commission announced that it would continue to examine whether banks meet their targets on an annual basis.
Moreover, in furtherance of the policy to expand the proportion of fixed rate housing loans, the Financial Services Commission implemented, from March 24 to March 27, 2015 and also from March 30 to April 3, 2015, a “Relief Debt Conversion” program under which borrowers of eligible housing loans (namely, loans that have been in existence for one year or more since the original loan date, with no delinquency in the past six months, with principal amounts ofW500 million or less and for houses valued atW900 million or less that are on a floating rate basis and/or an interest payment only basis) might convert such loans to new fixed rate loans in respect of which the borrowers would be required to repay the principal and interest in installment for a term of 10, 15, 20 or 30 years without a grace period, provided that the new loans pass the loan-to-value ratio of 70% and the debt-to-income ratio of 60%. The borrowers were allowed to convert the original loans only at the banks that extended such loans. The banks holding the newly converted fixed rate loans are required to sell such loans to Korea Housing Finance Corporation, a government-controlled entity, which will then securitize such loans and issue mortgage-backed securities (backed by such loans) to be purchased by the banks who sold the loans in proportion to the amounts of the loans sold, and the banks will be required to hold such securities for a period of one year, after which the bank can sell or dispose of such securities in the market or otherwise. According to the Financial Supervisory Commission, under this program, approximately 345,000 borrowers converted loans in the aggregate amount ofW33.9 trillion to fixed rate loans, of which Shinhan Bank accounted for approximately 13.1%. In the event that market interest rates increase from those applicable during this program’s implementation in March and April 2015, we may experience valuation or realization losses on the mortgage-backed securities to be held by Shinhan Bank or, depending on prevailing market conditions, difficulties in selling the mortgage backed securities in the market or otherwise in amounts or at prices commercially reasonable to us. Any of these developments could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.
We, on a voluntary basis, may factor the existence of such policies and encouragements into consideration in making loans or securities investments. In addition, whilealthough the ultimate decision whether to make loans or securities investments remains with us and is made based on our internal credit approval procedures and risk
management systems independently of Government policies, the Government may in the future request financial institutions in Korea, including us, to make investments in or provide other forms of financial support to particular sectors of the Korean economy as a matter of policy, which financial institutions, including us, may be required to make or may otherwise decide to accept. For example, the Government has taken and is taking various initiatives to support small- and medium-sized enterprises, which were disproportionately affected by the recent downturn in the Korean and global economy.
As an example of such initiatives, Shinhan Bank, like other commercial banks in Korea, entered into a memorandum of understanding in April 2009 with the Financial Supervisory Service under which Shinhan Bank would make efforts to, among others, provide greater liquidity into the general economy by extending a sizable volume of loans to and facilitating export financing for small- and medium-sized enterprises in exchange for government guarantee of a certain amount of foreign currency-denominated borrowings by Shinhan Bank. The memorandum of understanding was terminated on December 31, 2009.
policies. In addition, under the rules of the Bank of Korea, when commercial banks (including Shinhan Bank) make Won-denominated loans to certain start-up, venture, innovative and other strategic small- and medium-sized enterprises specially designated by the Bank of Korea as “priority borrowers”, the Bank of Korea will provide the underlying funding to these banks at concessionary rates for up to 50% of all such loans made to priority borrowers subject to a monthly-adjusted limit prescribed by the Bank of Korea (currently ￦5 trillion), provided that if such loans to priority borrowers made by all commercial banks exceed the prescribed limit for a given month, the concessionary funding for the following month will be allocated to each commercial bank in proportion to such bank’s lending to priority borrowers two months prior to the time of such allocation, which has the effect that, if a particular bank lags other banks in making loans to priority borrowers, the amount of funding such bank can receive from the Bank of Korea at concessionary rates will be proportionately reduced.
In tandem with providing additional loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises under the memorandum of understanding,and low-income individuals, Shinhan Bank has takentakes active steps to mitigate the potential adverse impacts from making bad loans to enterprises or individuals with high risk profiles as a result of the foregoingsuch arrangements, such as by strengthening its loan review and post-lending monitoring processes. However, we cannot assure you that the arrangements contemplated under the memorandum of understanding did not or will not, or similar or otherfuture government-led initiatives, including those undertaken in the future will not, result in a suboptimal allocation of our loan portfolio from a risk-reward perspective compared to what we would have allocated based on purely commercial decisions in the absence of such initiatives. The government may implement similar or other initiatives in the futureorder to spur the overall economy, or encourage the growth of targeted industries particularly in lightand/or provide relief to certain segments of the fact that bolstering the role of, and providing additional support to,economy in distress (such as small- to medium-sized enterprises has been a major campaign pledgein general or in certain industry sectors and accordingly is likely to become a significant policy initiative of the recently elected presidential administration in Korea. Specifically, the government may introduce lending-related initiatives or enforce existing ones in a heightened fashion during times when small-low-income households and medium-sized enterprisesindividuals who, on average, are facing an increased level of financial distress or vulnerability duehave weaker credit profiles), and our actions in relation to an economic downturn, which makessuch government initiatives will not result in lending to them in the volume and the manner suggested by the government evendecisions that are riskier and less commercially desirable. Accordingly, making loans to small- and medium-sized enterprisesdesirable, which might in furtherance of the government-led initiatives mayturn result in enhanced difficulties for us in terms of risk management, deterioration of our asset quality and reduced earnings, compared to what would have been in the absence of such initiatives. Such developments may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
The Korean government may also encourage us to make investments in certain institutions in furtherance of policy objectives, and we may not recoup our investments therein in a timely or otherwise commercially reasonable manner.
In addition to targeted lending, the Government may from time to time encourage or request the financial institutions in lightKorea, including us and our subsidiaries, to make investments in or provide other forms of
financial support to certain institutions in furtherance of the sizableGovernment’s policy objectives. In response thereto, we have made and will continue to make the ultimate decision on whether, how and to what extent we will comply with such encouragements or requests based on our internal risk assessment and in accordance with our risk management systems and policies. At the same time, as a leading member of the financial service industry in Korea and as a responsible corporate citizen we will also fully give due consideration to such encouragements or requests from the Government, especially in relation to the long-term benefit arising from furthering the policy objective of maintaining a sound financial system, even if complying with such requests may involve additional short-term costs and risks to a limited extent.
For example, in order to reduce non-performing assets from mostly real-estate project financings (mostly related to real estate project financings suffering from the persistent slump in the real estate market) byprimarily affecting mostly lower-tier commercial banks (mostly in the lower tier) and merchantsavings banks, in June 2011, the Government established the United PF 1st Recovery Private Equity Fund (the “Fund”), a joint-stock private equity fund sponsored by United Asset Management Company Ltd. (“UAMCO”), a government-invested enterprise and the largest purchaser in Korea of non-performing financial assets generally, and eight major policy and commercial and policy banks, namely Woori Bank, Kookmin Bank, Nonghyup Bank,banks. While Shinhan Bank Hanaholds a 10.65% equity interest in the Fund, Shinhan Bank, Korea Exchange Bank, Korea Development Banklike the other seven banks, is a limited partner and Industrial Bank of Korea.
Shinhan Bank does not have any involvement in the management or day-to-day operations of the Fund. While Shinhan Bank holds a 10.65% equity interest in the Fund, Shinhan Bank is designated as a limited partner,
and under the Fund’s articles of organization theSuch management and day-to-day operations of the Fundoperational activities are specifically delegated tohandled by UAMCO, a general partner designated as the managing partner forunder the Fund, whichFund’s articles of organization. UAMCO is currently UAMCO, a limited liability company established under Korean law whose shareholders are the six banks that have made capital contributions to the Fund. TheFund (namely, Shinhan Bank, Kookmin Bank, Hana Bank, Nonghyup Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea and Woori Bank) acts within the scope of such delegated authorities as expressly set out in the Fund’s articles of incorporation, namely in relation to asset and liabilities management, activities are as follows: (i) managementinvestment decisions and operatingdistributions of the Fund’s assets, and liabilities, (ii) selection of investment targets and exercise of investment decisions and redemption decisions, (iii) exercise of rights over investment assets, (iv) issuance and distribution of beneficiary certificates underlying the investment assets, (v) distribution of Fund assets, (vi) accounting and recordkeeping, (vii) payment of expenses and liabilities related to the operation of the Fund and (viii) ancillary activities related to the foregoing.among others. Under the Fund’s articles of organization, the activities of the general partner acting as the managing partner are subject to supervision by an advisory committee consisting of representatives of each of the limited partners (which may not be a general partner), and the advisory committee may express a non-binding view on the activities of the managing partner. The advisory committee’s view is not binding, and serves only as a recommendation with respect to certain activities over which the managing partner is authorized to exercise its discretion under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. However, in the eventIf the managing partner breaches law or material articles of the Fund’s articles of incorporation, the advisory committee, with the consent from members representing two-thirds or more of the equity interests in the Fund, may suspend (and if applicable, restore) such managing partner’s activities relating to the operation and management of the Fund.
The Fund is funded with capital contributions and loans from the aforesaid nine sponsors in the aggregate amount of ￦1,828W1,828 billion (consisting of ￦1,400W1,400 billion in capital contributions and ￦428W428 billion in loans) as of December 31, 2012. Of such amounts, under the fund organization documents,2014, of which Shinhan Bank is obligated to make capital contributions up to ￦149W149 billion (representing a 10.65% equity interest in the Fund in the form of common shares) and loans of ￦19.4W19.4 billion (representing 4.5% of the total loans made by the sponsors) as of December 31, 2012, and2014. While Shinhan Bank, together with other sponsors, may be requested to make, on a prorated basis based on their relative shareholdings, additional capital contributions and loans upon further purchase by the Fund of non-performing assets from project financings. The amount of funding obligation is proportionate to each sponsor’s relative asset size and its exposure to project financings. As of December 31, 2012,financings, Shinhan Bank had made capital contributions in the aggregate amount of ￦118.7W118.7 billion and has fulfilled its capital contribution obligations. As for theobligations as of December 31, 2014. The capital contributions made by Shinhan Bank to-date these have not been subject to impairment since the underlying assets of the Fund, which primarily consist of impaired loans, are purchased at fair value, and profits have subsequently been realized thereon either in the form of recovery from enhanced collection measures or capital gains upon resale thereof. Shinhan Bank currently does not plan to make additional capital contributions. The terms of the loans, including the interest rate and redemption provisions, are subject to further negotiation among the sponsors.
The objective of the Fund is to purchase non-performing assets from project financing companies, professionally manage such assets and later sell them at a profit once these assets have normalized. By doing so, the Fund is expected to enhance the asset quality of financial institutions with significant exposure to unsound project financings by transferring a part of such exposure from such institutions to the Fund, as well as help to normalize the project financing industry. The Fund is not backed by any government guarantee, and the Fund operates based on mutual agreement of the sponsors. The term of the Fund is five years, which may be extended at a general meeting of the sponsors. Upon liquidation of the Fund, each sponsor will be entitled to a share in the net assets of the Fund at the time of liquidation in proportion to their respective contributions to the Fund.
Following
Since the establishment of the Fund in June 2011 and as ofup to December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank hashad sold non-performing project financing assets in the aggregate amount of ￦179.1W179.1 billion to the Fund and recognized from such sales an aggregate loss of ￦56.2W56.2 billion before applying allowance for loan losses allocated to such assets and an aggregate profit of ￦7.7W7.7 billion after applying allowance for loan losses allocated to such assets. Under IFRS, the sale of non-performing project financing assets to the Fund is classified as a true sale, and therefore, gain or loss from such sale is recognized at the time of sale, and no gain or loss is recognized after the time of sale. Subject to market conditions, Shinhan Bank may sell additional non-performing project financing assets to the Fund and use all or part of the proceeds for its future capital contribution or loan requirements. However, given the generally poor asset quality of its non-performing project financing assets, there is no
assurance that Shinhan Bank will be able to sell such assets held by it on commercially reasonable terms or that the Fund will be able to attain its objective of selling the purchased project financing assets at a profit, in which case Shinhan Bank may not be able to recoup its investment in, or be repaid the loans to, the Fund fully or at all. There is no assurance that in furtherance of similar or other policy objectives, the Government may not request or otherwise encourage financial institutions in Korea, including us and our subsidiaries, to provide similar or other investments or provide other financial support for which we are not duly compensated or otherwise take up additional risk that we would not normally have undertaken, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
The level and scope of government oversight of our retail lending business, particularly regarding mortgage and home equity loans, may change depending on the economic or political climate.
CurtailingReal estate comprises the most significant asset for a substantial number of households in Korea, and the movements of the housing price have generally had a significant impact on the direction of domestic economy. Accordingly, regulating housing prices, either in terms of attempting to stem actual or anticipated excessive speculation induring times of a suspected housing price bubble and spur the pricing and/or volume of real estate transactions during times of a depressed real estate market by way of tax subsidy, guidelines to lending institutions or otherwise, has historically been a key policy initiative for the Government, and it has inKorean government.
For example, during the pastearly to mid-2000s, the Government adopted several regulatory measures, including in relation to retail banking, to affect such policy.stem a rise in speculation in real estate investments generally and in select areas. Some of the measures undertaken in the past include requiring financial institutions to impose stricter debt-to-income ratio and loan-to-value ratio requirements for mortgage loans for real property located in areas deemed to have engaged in a high level of speculation, raising property tax on real estate transactions for owners of multiple residential units, adopting a ceiling on the sale price of newly constructed housing units and recommending that commercial banks restrain from making further mortgage and home equity lending, among others.
The Government may from time to time take measures to regulate More recently, amid a prolonged slump in the housing market in orderKorea, in April 2013, the Government announced the Real Estate Comprehensive Countermeasure, which provides for, among other things, (i) reduced capital gains tax and (ii) exemption of acquisition tax for first-time homebuyers. In addition, in November 2013, the Government announced a permanent reduction in acquisition tax, with retrospective application from August 2013. Prior to preempt undue speculation, including by waysuch reduction, acquisition tax was assessed on a differentiated scale based on whether the homebuyer was purchasing a primary home or a secondary home, with the former being assessed an acquisition tax of imposing restrictions on retail lending, including mortgage2% for the purchase of homes underW900 million and home equity lending. For example, in September 2009, in light4% for homes exceedingW900 million, and the latter being assessed an acquisition tax of 4% regardless of the growing concerns aboutprice of the rising levelhome. Under the new regulatory structure, the differentiated tax scale for primary homes and secondary homes is eliminated, and all homebuyers are assessed an acquisition tax of household debt1% for the purchase of homes underW600 million, 2% for homes exceedingW600 million but less thanW900 million and 3% for homes exceedingW900 million. In addition, in Korea, which isJuly 2014 the Government imposed a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 70% in large part secured bythe case of housing loans for all financial institutions (compared to different loan-to-value ratios applied previously, depending on the location of the property and the type of the lender) and a maximum debt-to-income ratio of 60% for all financial institutions in respect of residential property,properties in the Financial Supervisory Service announcedgreater Seoul metropolitan area. Furthermore, in December 2014 the National Assembly also passed several bills that it would apply stricter debt-to-income ratios for mortgage and home equity lending, and on April 3, 2013,are designed to stimulate the Financial Services Commission announced that it would adopt measures to curb rapid growth of retail lending and increase the percentage of long-term fixed rate mortgage and home equity lending. Anyreal estate market.
While any Government measure by the Government that is designed to stimulate or curb growth in the real propertyestate sector may be premature,result in growth of, and improved profitability for, our retail lending business (particularly with respect to mortgage and home equity
loans) at least for the short term, such measure could also result in unintended consequences, including potentially excessive speculation resulting in a “bubble” for the Korean real estate market and a subsequent market crash. Conversely, if the Government were to change the direction of its stimulative measures (for example, in order to preemptively curtail an actual or contribute to substantial future declinesanticipated bubble in the real estate market), such change in policy may result in a contraction of the real estate market, a decline in real estate prices and consequently, a reduction in Korea, which will reduce the valuegrowth of, the collateral securingand profitability for, our mortgageretail and/or other lending businesses, as well as otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and home equity loans.results of operations or profitability. See “— Risks Relating to Our Banking Business — A decline in the value of the collateral securing our loans or our inability to fully realize the collateral value may adversely affect our credit portfolio.” Such measures may also have the effect of limiting the growth and profitability of our retail banking business, especially in the area of mortgage and home equity lending.
Korea’s legislation allowing class action suits related to securities transactions may expose us to additional litigation risk.
The Act on Class Actions regarding Securities allows class action suits to be brought by shareholders of companies listed on the Korea Exchange, including ours, for losses incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of securities and other securities transactions arising from (i) false or inaccurate statements provided in registration statements, prospectuses and business reports; (ii) insider trading and (iii) market manipulation. This law permits 50 or more shareholders who collectively hold 0.01% or more of the shares of a company at the time when the cause of such damages occurred to bring a class action suit against us and our subsidiaries and our and their respective directors and officers. It is uncertain how the courts will apply this law, however, as this law has been enacted relatively recently and there are few precedents. Litigation can be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert valuable management time and attention from the operation of a business. We are not aware of any basis for such suit being brought against us, nor, to our knowledge, are there any such suits pending or threatened. Any such litigation brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Korea
Unfavorable financial and economic conditions in Korea and globally may have a material adverse impact on our asset quality, liquidity and financial performance.
We are incorporated in Korea, where most of our assets are located and most of our income is generated. As a result, we are subject to political, economic, legal and regulatory risks specific to Korea, and our business, results of operations and financial condition are substantially dependent on developments relating to the Korean
economy. As Korea’s economy is highly dependent on the health and direction of the global economy, and investor’s reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities price of companies in other countries, we are also subject to the fluctuations of the global economy and financial markets. Factors that determine economic and business cycles in the Korean or global economy are for the most part beyond our control and inherently uncertain. In addition to discussions of recent developments regarding the global economic and market uncertainties and the risks relating to us as provided elsewhere in this section, factors that could hurt Korea’s economy in the future include, among others:
further deterioration of the fiscal difficulties political turbulence and financial crisisincreased sovereign default risks in Europe, downgrades in the sovereign or other credit ratings of the governments and financial institutionsselect countries in Europe and the United States, as well as the slowdown of the Chinese economy, which could haveresulting adverse effects on the global and in turn Korean, credit and financial markets;

Any future deterioration of the Korean economy could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Tensions with North Korea could have an adverse effect on us, the price of our common stockshares and our American depositary shares.
Relations between Korea and North Korea have been tense throughout Korea’s modern history. The level of tension between the two Koreas has fluctuated and may increase abruptly as a result of current and future events. In particular, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the long-term stability of North Korea’s political leadership since the succession of Kim Jong-un to power following the death of his father in December 2011, which has raised concerns with respect to the political and economic future of the region.
In recent years,addition, there have beencontinues to be heightened security concernstension in the region stemming from North Korea’s hostile military and diplomatic actions, including in respect of its nuclear weapons and long-range missile programs and increased uncertainty regarding North Korea’s actions and possible responsesprograms. Some examples from recent years include the international community. following:
There recently has been increased uncertainty about the future of North Korea’s political leadership and its implications for the economic and political stabilitycommunity that such a launch would be in violation of the region. Shortly afteragreement with the death of Kim Jong-il, a long-standing former ruler ofUnited States as well as United Nations Security Council resolutions that prohibit North Korea in December 2011 his son, reported to be in his late twenties, Kim Jong-eun, was named North Korea’s Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Whether Kim Jong-eun will successfully solidify his political power or whether he will implement policiesfrom conducting launches that will successfully assist North Korea in withstanding the many challenges it faces, however, remains uncertain. In addition, use ballistic missile technology.
North Korea’s economy also faces severe challenges. For example, in November 2009, the North Korean government redenominated its currency at a ratio of 100 to 1 as part of a currency reform undertaken in an attempt to control inflation and reduce income gaps. In tandem with the currency redenomination, the North Korean government banned the use or possession of foreign currency by its residents and closed down privately run markets, which led tochallenges, including severe inflation and food shortages. Such developmentsshortages, which may further aggravate social and political tensions within North Korea.
Since the death In addition, reunification of the North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il in December 2011, there has been increased uncertainty with respect to the future of North Korea’s political leadershipKorea and concern regarding its implications for political and economic stability in the region. However, the eventual outcome of such leadership transition remains uncertain. Furthermore, only limited information is available outside of North Korea about Kim Jong-eun, who is reported to be in his late twenties, and it is unclear which individuals or factions, if any, will share political power with Kim Jong-eun or assume the leadership if the transition is not successful. Accordingly, there is significant uncertainty regarding the policies, actions and initiatives that North Korea might pursuemay suddenly occur in the future, as North Korea has recently announced its plan to test long-distance missiles, Kwang-myong Sung No. 3, despite the sanction from the United Nations Security Councilwhich would entail significant economic commitment and objection from the international society including the Nuclear Security Summit which was held in Seoul on March 22 and 23, 2012.
Furthermore, there have been recent military conflicts on the Korean peninsula. On March 26, 2010, theCheonan, a Korean navy ship, sank off the western coast of Korea killing 46 soldiers. An investigation carried out by the Joint Civilian-Military Investigation Group, consisting of investigators from Korea, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and Sweden, concluded that theCheonan was sunk by a North Korean torpedo. Also, on November 23, 2010, the North Korean military fired artillery shells onto the Korean island of Yeonpyeong, killing two Korean soldiers and two civilians which set off an exchange of fire between the two sides. Around the end of 2010, the International Criminal Court tentatively concluded that North Korea’s sinking of theCheonan and shelling of the island of Yeonpyeong constituted a war crime, and launched a preliminary investigation regarding such incidents.
On August 22, 2011, North Korea unilaterally declared that it will legally dispose of all Korean-owned real estate, equipment and raw materials it seized in April 2010 within the Mt. Geumgang resort area (the “Geumgang area”), concurrent with its seizure and embargo of Korean supplies and assets and its exit order of all employees who were dispatched from Korea (the “2011 Declaration”). It is estimated that the value of the assets, including the real estate, owned by the Government, the Korea Tourism Organization and other private Korean companies in the Geumgang area amount to approximately ￦484 billion. Tourism in the Geumgang area has effectively been discontinued since a Korean tourist was shot and killed by a North Korean soldier on July 11, 2008. Currently, the Government is in the process of considering various options, including legal and diplomatic
measures, in response to the 2011 Declaration. On April 13, 2012, Northexpenditure by Korea conducted a testthat may outweigh any resulting economic benefits of a long-range missile against the protests of many in the international community, including Korea, Japan and the United States. Although the test failed, it has raised tensions on the Korean peninsula. The United Nations Security Council has strongly condemned the tests and the United States has cut off food aid to North Korea. North Korea has responded by issuing a statement that it is free to take necessary retaliatory measures. After Korea announced on October 7, 2012, that it would extend the range of its ballistic missiles from 185 to 500 miles, a distance which could hit the northeast corner of North Korea from launch sites in central Korea, the National Defense Commission (which is the top military body of North Korea) announced it was ready to wage war on the United States and its allies and threatened to launch nuclear weapons in the event the United States or its allies use nuclear weapons against North Korea. On February 12, 2013, North Korea conducted a third nuclear test following the previous two rounds of nuclear tests on October 9, 2006 and May 25, 2009. The regime also heralded further actions after the nuclear test and mentioned a potential fourth nuclear test. In response, the Korean government announced its statement that North Korea’s nuclear test was in clear violation of the U.N. resolution and Korea would strengthen the coordination with the international community in order to deter the regime from being armed with nuclear weapons. Further, on February 14, 2013, the National Assembly of Korea adopted a resolution to denounce Pyongyang for its nuclear test. On April 3, 2013, North Korea blocked South Koreans from entering the Kaesong Industrial Complex, an economic cooperation zone within North Korea and on April 26, 2013 South Korea decided to withdraw its workers from the complex. It remains unclear whether or when such complex will resume operation. There can be no assurance that the level of tension and instability in the Korean peninsula will not escalate in the future, or that the political regime in North Korea may not suddenly collapse.reunification. Any further increase in tension or uncertainty relating to the military, political or economic stability in the Korean peninsula, including a breakdown of diplomatic negotiations over the North Korean nuclear program, occurrence of military hostilities, heightened concerns about the stability of North Korea’s political leadership or its actual collapse, a leadership crisis, or a breakdown of high-level contacts or accelerated reunification could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could lead to a decline inas well as the market valueprice of our common shares and our American depositary shares.
Risks Relating to Our American Depositary Shares
There are restrictions on withdrawal and deposit of common shares under the depositary facility.
Under the deposit agreement, holders of shares of our common stock may deposit those shares with the depositary bank’s custodian in Korea and obtain American depositary shares, and holders of American depositary shares may surrender American depositary shares to the depositary bank and receive shares of our common stock. However, under current Korean laws and regulations, the depositary bank is required to obtain our prior consent for the number of shares to be deposited in any given proposed deposit which exceeds the difference between (1) the aggregate number of shares deposited by us for the issuance of American depositary shares (including deposits in connection with the initial and all subsequent offerings of American depositary shares and stock dividends or other distributions related to these American depositary shares) and (2) the number of shares on deposit with the depositary bank at the time of such proposed deposit. We have consented to the deposit of outstanding shares of common stock as long as the number of American depositary shares outstanding at any time does not exceed 40,432,628. As a result, if you surrender American depositary shares and withdraw shares of common stock, you may not be able to deposit the shares again to obtain American depositary shares.
Ownership of our shares is restricted under Korean law.
Under the Financial Holding Companies Act, any single shareholder (together with certain persons in a special relationship with such shareholder) may acquire beneficial ownership of up to 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights of a bank holding company controlling national banks such as us. In addition, any person, except for a “non-financial business group company” (as defined below), may acquire in excess of 10% of the total voting shares issued and outstanding of a financial holding company which controls a national bank, provided that a prior approval from the Financial Services Commission is obtained each time such person’s aggregate holdings exceed 10% (or 15% in the case of a financial holding company controlling regional banks only), 25% or 33% of the total voting shares issued and outstanding of such financial holding company. The Government and the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation are exempt from this limit. Furthermore, certain
non-financial business group companies (i.e., (i) any same shareholder group with aggregate net assets of all non-financial business companies belonging to such group of not less than 25% of the aggregate net assets of all members of such group; (ii) any same shareholder group with aggregate assets of all non-financial business companies belonging to such group of not less than ￦2W2 trillion; or (iii) any mutual fund in which a same shareholder group identified in (i) or (ii) above owns more than 4% of the total shares issued and outstanding of such mutual fund) may not acquire beneficial ownership in us in excess of 4% of our outstanding voting shares, provided that such non-financial business group companies may acquire beneficial ownership of up to 10% of our outstanding voting shares with the approval of the Financial Services Commission under the condition that such non-financial business group companies will not exercise voting rights in respect of such shares in excess of the 4% limit. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Supervision and Regulation — Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies — Restrictions on Financial Holding Company Ownership.” To the extent that the total number of shares of our common stock that you and your affiliates own together exceeds these limits, you will not be entitled to exercise the voting rights for the excess shares, and the Financial Services Commission may order you to dispose of the excess shares within a period of up to six months. Failure to comply with such an order would result in a fine of up to ￦50W50 million, plus an additional charge of up to 0.03% of the book value of such shares per day until the date of disposal.
Holders of our ADSs will not have preemptive rights in certain circumstances.
The Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation require us, with some exceptions, to offer shareholders the right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to their existing ownership percentage whenever new shares are issued. If we offer any rights to subscribe for additional shares of our common stock or any rights of any other nature, the depositary bank, after consultation with us, may make the rights available to you or use reasonable efforts to dispose of the rights on your behalf and make the net proceeds available to you. The depositary bank, however, is not required to make available to you any rights to purchase any additional shares unless it deems that doing so is lawful and feasible and:
a registration statement filed by us under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is in effect with respect to those shares; or
the offering and sale of those shares is exempt from or is not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.
We are under no obligation to file any registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If a registration statement is required for you to exercise preemptive rights but is not filed by us, you will not be able to exercise your preemptive rights for additional shares and you will suffer dilution of your equity interest in us.
Holders of our ADSs will not be able to exercise dissent and appraisal rights unless they have withdrawn the underlying shares of our common stock and become our direct stockholders.
Under Korean law, in some limited circumstances, including the transfer of the whole or any significant part of our business and the merger or consolidation of us with another company, dissenting stockholders have the right to require us to purchase their shares under Korean law. However, under our deposit agreement, holders of our American depositary shares do not have, and may not instruct the depositary as to the exercise of, any dissenter’s rights provided to the holders of our common shares under Korean law. Therefore, if holders of our American depositary shares wish to exercise dissenting rights, they must withdraw the underlying common stock from the American depositary shares facility (and incur charges relating to that withdrawal) and become our direct stockholders prior to the record date of the stockholders’ meeting at which the relevant transaction is to be approved, in order to exercise dissent and appraisal rights.
The market value of your investment in our ADSs may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Korean securities market.
Our common stock is listed on the KRX KOSPI Division of the Korea Exchange, which has a smaller market capitalization and is more volatile than the securities markets in the United States and many European countries. The market value of ADSs may fluctuate in response to the fluctuation of the trading price of shares of our common stock on the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange. The Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange has experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices and volumes of sales of listed securities and the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange has prescribed a fixed range in which share prices are permitted to move on a daily basis. Like other securities markets, including those in developed markets, the Korean securities market has experienced problems including market manipulation, insider trading and settlement failures. The recurrence of these or similar problems could have a material adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of the securities of Korean companies, including our common stock and ADSs, in both the domestic and the international markets.
The Korean government has the potential ability to exert substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector business community, and in the past has exerted that influence from time to time. For example, the Korean governmentGovernment has promoted mergers to reduce what it considers excess capacity in a particular industry
and has also encouraged private companies to publicly offer their securities. Similar actions in the future could have the
effect of depressing or boosting the Korean securities market, whether or not intended to do so. Accordingly, actions by the government, or the perception that such actions are taking place, may take place or has ceased, may cause sudden movements in the market prices of the securities of Korean companies in the future, which may affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock and ADSs.
Your dividend payments and the amount you may realize upon a sale of your ADSs will be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollarDollar and the Won.
Investors who purchase the American depositary shares will be required to pay for them in U.S. dollars.Dollars. Our outstanding shares are listed on the Korea Exchange and are quoted and traded in Won. Cash dividends, if any, in respect of the shares represented by the American depositary shares will be paid to the depositary bank in Won and then converted by the depositary bank into U.S. dollars,Dollars, subject to certain conditions. Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Won and the U.S. dollarDollar will affect, among other things, the amounts a registered holder or beneficial owner of the American depositary shares will receive from the depositary bank in respect of dividends, the U.S. dollarDollar value of the proceeds which a holder or owner would receive upon sale in Korea of the shares obtained upon surrender of American depositary shares and the secondary market price of the American depositary shares.
If the Government deems that certain emergency circumstances are likely to occur, it may restrict the depositary bank from converting and remitting dividends in Dollars.
If the Government deems that certain emergency circumstances are likely to occur, it may impose restrictions such as requiring foreign investors to obtain prior Government approval for the acquisition of Korean securities or for the repatriation of interest or dividends arising from Korean securities or sales proceeds from disposition of such securities. These emergency circumstances include any or all of the following:
sudden fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates;
extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments; and
a substantial disturbance in the Korean financial and capital markets.
The depositary bank may not be able to secure such prior approval from the government for the payment of dividends to foreign investors when the Government deems that there are emergency circumstances in the Korean financial markets.
Other Risks
We are generally subject to Korean corporate governance and disclosure standards, which differ in significant respects from those in other countries.
Companies in Korea, including us, are subject to corporate governance standards applicable to Korean public companies which differ in many respects from standards applicable in other countries, including the United States. As a reporting company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we are, and in the future will be, subject to certain corporate governance standards as mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, foreign private issuers, including us, are exempt from certain corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. For significant differences, see “Item 16.G. Corporate Governance.” There may also be less publicly available information about Korean companies, such as us, than is regularly made available by public or non-public companies in other countries. Such differences in corporate governance standards and less public information could result in less than satisfactory corporate governance practices or disclosure to investors in certain countries.
You may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us.
We are a corporation with limited liability organized under the laws of Korea. Substantially all of our directors and officers and other persons named in this annual report reside in Korea, and all or a significant
portion of the assets of our directors and officers and other persons named in this annual report and substantially all of our assets are located in Korea. As a result, it may not be possible for holders of the American depository shares to affect service of process within the United States, or to enforce against them or us in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Korea, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated on the United States federal securities laws.
We may become a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), which could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to U.S. investors.
Based upon the past and projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for 2012,2014, and we do not expect to be a PFIC in 20132015 or to become one in the foreseeable future, although there can be no assurance in this regard. If, however, we become a PFIC, such characterization could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to you if you are a U.S. investor. For example, if we become a PFIC, our U.S. investors will become subject to increased tax liabilities under U.S. tax laws and regulations and will become subject to burdensome reporting requirements. Our PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and depends on the composition of our income and assets. Specifically, we will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. tax purposes if either: (i) 75% or more of our gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or (ii) the average percentage of our assets by value in a taxable year which produce or are held for the production of passive income (which generally includes cash) is at least 50%. Special rules treat certain income earned by a non-U.S. corporation engaged in the active conduct of a banking business as non-passive income. See “Item 10.E. Taxation — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” We cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for 20132015 or any future taxable year.

Introduction
We are one of the leading financial institutions in Korea in terms of total assets, revenues, profitability and capital adequacy, among others. Incorporated on September 1, 2001, Shinhan Financial Group iswe are the first privately-held financial holding company to be established in Korea. Since inception, we have developed and introduced a wide range of financial products and services in Korea and aimaimed to deliver comprehensive financial solutions to clients through a convenient one-portal network. According to reports by the Financial Supervisory Service, we are one of the three largest financial services providersprovider in Korea as measured by total assets as of December 31, 20122014 and operate the third largest banking business (as measured by consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2012)2014) and the largest credit card business (as measured by the total credit purchase volume as of December 31, 2012)2014) in Korea.
We have experienced substantial growth through several mergers and acquisitions. Most notably, our acquisition of Chohung Bank in 2003 has enabled us to have one of the threethird largest banking operations in Korea and enhanced our banking client base by adding Chohung Bank’s large corporate clients to our traditional client base of small- and medium-sized enterprises.Korea. In addition, our acquisition in March 2007 of LG Card, the then and now largest credit card company in Korea, has enabled to have the largest credit card operations in Korea and significantly expandedexpand our non-banking business capacity and helped usso as to achieve a balanced business portfolio.
We currently have 13 direct subsidiaries and 18 indirect subsidiaries offering a wide range of financial products and services, including commercial banking, corporate banking, private banking, credit card, asset
management, brokerage and insurance services. We believe that such breadth of services will help us to meet the diversified needs of our present and potential clients. We currently serve approximately 18.929 million active customers, which we believe is the largest customer base in Korea, through approximately 20,98323,555 employees at approximately 1,4501,372 network branches group-wide.

Our registered office and corporate headquarters are located at 120, 2-Ga, Taepyung-Ro, Jung-Gu,20, Sejong-daero 9-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-102,100-724, Korea and our telephone number is +822 6360 3000.
Our Strategy
Since our inception in 2001, we have pursued the following objectives as the core of our long-term strategy: (i) balanced growth in our banking and non-banking businesses, (ii) continued creation of value by identifying new business opportunities and gaining a competitive edge through differentiating our business model from that of our competitors;competitors, and (iii) becoming the market leader in Korea and a world-class financial holding company through enhancement of our management systems and core competencies.
While the immediate ripple effects fromFollowing the global financial crisis that began in the second half of 2008, and 2009 have somewhat subsided, we believe the world economy, and in turn the Korean economy, continue to face an environmenta new set of uncertainty marked by generally low growth among businesses and the continuing volatility in the global financial markets due to the resilient fiscal and financial difficulties in Europe. We believe that this environment has engendered negative popular sentiment against majorchallenges for financial service providers in general,such as evidenced by the “Occupy Wall Street”us and similar movements in major urban centersour subsidiaries has emerged in the worldform of a “new normal” in the business environment with the following general features: (i) stricter financial regulations and greater calls for regulatory scrutiny with a focus on heightened risk management, (ii) less tolerance for unbalanced risk in financial products, (iii) demand for higher levels of capital adequacy and restrictions in relation toreduced debt levels, (iv) greater market acceptability of a business model that emphasizes stable and conservative growth even at the expense of higher return, and (v) rising political and social skepticism of unfettered capitalism and stronger demand for enhanced social responsibility and accountability of financial activities.institutions. In addition, advances in mobile and other technologies are renewing challenges for financial service providers to continually reexamine their existing business models. Combined, these developments require that we continue to seek opportunities to foster customer trust, enhance our social capital and quickly adapt ourselves to the constant changes in our business environment.
Accordingly, as a general strategic objective we are striving to re-create ourselves to meet the challenges and capitalize on opportunities presented by the new business environment through selectively identifying new growth opportunities, strengthening risk management, efficient use of resources and encouraging more personalized interaction with our customers.
More specifically, we believe that the recent global financial crisis has engendered a new business environment with the following defining features: (i) stricter financial regulations, (ii) less tolerance for risk in financial products, (iii) demand for reduced debt levels, (iv) greater market acceptability of a business model based on stable growth even if this would result in relatively low levels of return, (v) political demand for greater social responsibility and accountability of financial institutions, and (vi) widespread recognition of the growing importance of emerging markets, particularly in Asia, in world economy.
In recognition of these trends in our business environment, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future, we have also realignedstrived to, and will continue to strive to, re-make ourselves with an overarching focus of putting our customers first, namely by constantly seeking ways to make our interactions with customers more user-friendly and customer-oriented, as well as further strengthening risk management, efficiently using our resources and selectively identifying new growth opportunities.
Our mid- to long-term strategic prioritiestarget is to focus on becomingbecome Korea’s number one financial brand by the end of 2015 through emphasis on creation of value to our customers and fostering “good” growth. We believe that establishing ourselves firmly as the market leader in Korea is critical to realizing our ultimate objective of becoming a world-class financial institution, and our new strategic priority reflectspriorities reflect our renewedcontinual commitment to sustainable growth, stable profitability and best-class core competencies.
Recently, we have also added to our groupwide mission the concept of “Compassionate Finance, Your Companion for the Future.” This notion leverages on our strategic theme that we can “make a better world through the power of finance.” To elaborate, by “the power of finance,” we mean that we can enable our customers to achieve their desired financial objectives through differentiated financial products and services (including asset management) using innovative techniques and planning that reflect or anticipate the changes in customer preferences and market and regulatory environments. In addition, by “making a better world”, we mean that we as a financial service provider aim to add value to the customer, which in turn will create a virtuous cycle whereby our franchise value also increases in tandem with the added value to the customer, which will over the
long term benefit the society we live in on a global basis. Thus, we believe ‘compassionate finance’, ‘innovating financing’ and “a virtuous cycle of mutual benefit” are all interconnected themes that form the overarching backbone to our overall strategy.
More specifically, we plan to focus on achievingour key strategic priorities currently include the following four initiatives by 2015:following:
| • | Solidify our market position as the “local best” in our core businesses.Currently, our two core businesses of banking and credit cards rank as number one in their respective industries (banking in terms of profitability and credit cards in terms of market share and the number of customers). We seek to solidify our brand and market position in these fields as the indisputable local best in both quantitative and qualitative terms by offering our customers quality service that clearly differentiates us from our competitors. To this end, in our banking business, we will seek to offer a variety of products and services tailored to each customer segment, enhance service capabilities that do not require customers’ physical presence in our branch offices and increase its distribution network outside the Seoul metropolitan area. As for our credit card business, we seek to further solidify our market leadership position and generate further revenue growth by offering new differentiated services and exploring opportunities in the emerging arena of strategic convergence between financial services providers and telecommunication service providers as well as other potential business opportunities on a selective basis, as well as further improve our cost structure. In addition, we seek to establish firm industry leadership for our leasing business through differentiated services in order to further contribute to our goal of sustainable growth. |
| • | Strengthen fee-earnings businesses.While we will continue to focus on our core, interest income generating business of banking and credit card services, in order to attain a more balanced overall business portfolio as well as in anticipation of a potential rise in interest rates and cost of capital, we plan to strengthen our businesses that generate non-interest fee income, such as asset management, insurance and securities. To this end, we are currently re-evaluating the business models for our key business segments with the goal of strengthening our competitiveness in areas of core competencies that will ensure our long-term viability and profitability. More specifically, our asset management business will focus on building the Shinhan brand through continued customer-oriented product development, our securities business will support our asset management business through developing and distributing new investment products and enhancing marketing channels, and our insurance business will seek to join the top tier in the industry through organic |
| • | Enhance synergy through shared focus on the customer.We plan to renew our commitment to our founding principle of emphasizing customer-oriented service by streamlining our business lines to provide a comprehensive financial services package tailored to each |
| • | Gain competitiveness in strategic growth areas.In light of the increasing maturation of the domestic financial services sector, we intend to seek new business opportunities at the group level by sharing group-wide management resources to identify and develop potential strategic growth areas. In particular, we plan to enhance the competitiveness of our investment banking business so as to be on par with our group-wide market leadership by redefining its business model and selectively entering into international markets, with an initial focus on Asia. In addition, we will explore selectively entering into strategic alliances with telecommunications service providers and retail grocery and department store chains to take advantage of new business opportunities generated by technological developments and the growing prominence of retail chains in the distribution of financial services. |
In order to effectively achieve the foregoing strategic objectives, we plan to continue to enhance our business fundamentals in the following areas:
continual upgradessystematic build-up of “future-oriented compassionate finance” through (i) group-wide adoption and implementation of various operating systems and infrastructure designed to optimizeenhance customer value in our operation management system;
brand promotion and bolstering a unified corporate culture that stresses flexibility and open-mindedness to new objectives and challenges;
balanced risk-return management;
enhancement of our customer relationship management system for better customization of our product offerings to the individual needs of our customers; and
bolstering customer confidence and building up social capital through enhancement of our corporate governance and addressing demand for greater social responsibility by financial institutions.
At the subsidiary level, we plan to implement the following strategies with respect to our core business lines:
| • | in commercial banking, our primary objective is to strengthen our competitive position and become the leading bank in Korea by enhancing customer satisfaction, locking in the loyalty of our existing banking customers and further enlarging our customer base. To this end, we plan to fully leverage the scale of our banking operation afforded by our extensive branch network, emphasize cross-selling non-banking products at our banking network, offer total financial service packages, bolster our brand image and further upgrade our customer service infrastructure, risk management systems and other operating |
processes. We also intend to enter, on a selective basis, into promising new businesses by strengthening our investment banking, private banking and other fee-based businesses, making significant inroads into the retirement pension market, and offering differentiated wealth management strategies and portfolios. |
| • | in credit card business, our primary objective is to further solidify our market leadership as the largest credit card service provider in Korea through differentiated and tailored customer service based on a strategy that emphasizes “soft” and “smart” aspects of enhancing customer loyalty, brand recognition and revenue expansion. We will also emphasize further optimizing our risk management through preemptive risk prevention, creating new synergy opportunities through collaboration with our other Shinhan affiliates and enhanced use of the group-wide customer relationship management system. As a way of identifying and exploring new potential growth areas, we are also exploring various business opportunities associated with technological advancements in providing financial services (commonly referred to as “fin-tech”) and also , on a selective basis, entering into strategic alliances with telecommunications service providers and |
| • | in securities business, our primary objective is to establish a solid platform for providing leading brokerage and financial advisory services in Korea in light of the recent deregulations of the securities industries in Korea. We aim to selectively develop competitive business models and capture promising business opportunities, including wealth management and investment advisory services. |
| • | in life insurance business, our primary objective is to enhance our market position as one of the leading insurers in Korea. To that end, we aim to maximize the use of our group-wide distribution channels, particularly in banking and credit card businesses, in order to foster direct interaction with customers. We also aim to train specialists and offer differentiated products targeting the fast-growing senior citizen population in Korea. |
Our History and Development
On September 1, 2001, we were formed as a financial holding company under the Financial Holding Companies Act, as a result of acquiring all of the issued shares of the following four entities from their former shareholders in exchange for shares of our common stock: (i) Shinhan Bank, a nationwide commercial bank listed on the Korea Exchange, (ii) Shinhan Securities Co., Ltd., a securities brokerage company listed on the Korea Exchange, (iii) Shinhan Capital Co., Ltd., a leasing company listed on the Korea Exchange Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“KRX KOSDAQ”), and (iv) Shinhan Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd., a privately held investment trust management company. On September 10, 2001, the common stock of our holding company was listed on what is currently the KRX KOSPI Market.
Since our inception, we have expanded our operations, in large part, through strategic acquisitions or formation of joint ventures. Our key acquisitions and joint venture formations are described as below:

We list below some of the recent developments relating to our organizational structure.
In March 2012, Shinhan-KT Mobile Card Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shinhan Card which had been established to secure the leadership position in the emerging market for mobile phone payment services, was liquidated due to lower than expected consumer demand for mobile payment services and slower than expected development of infrastructure necessary to support such services.
In November 2012, Shinhan Financial Group acquired a 99.79% interest in Shinhan AITAS Co., Ltd., a fund administrator and a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Shinhan Bank, for ￦49.7 billion from Shinhan Bank in order to promote efficient management and synergy effect on a group-wide level.
In December 2012, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Indonesia’s Bank Metro Express an Indonesian commercial bank to acquire a 40% interest of Bank Metro Express. Bank Metro Express holds a foreign exchange license and has 19 branches in Indonesia. Currently, we received approval from the Financial Services Commission and are in the process of obtaining the approval of the transaction by Indonesia’s financial supervisory authorities. We expect to receive such approval by the end of 2013.
In January 2013, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation for the acquisition of Yehanbyoul Savings Bank, a savings bank located in Korea, and received regulatory approval to merge Yehanbyoul Savings Bank, a savings bank located in Korea, into our existing subsidiary Shinhan Saving Bank. On April 1, 2013, Shinhan Savings Bank and Yehanbyoul Savings Bank merged into a single entity, with Yehanbyoul Savings Bank being the surviving entity and the newly merged bank named Shinhan Savings Bank.

For unsecured loans, which we provideShinhan Bank provides on a floating or fixed rate basis, the interest rates thereon take into accountreflect a
margin based on, among other things, the borrower’s credit score as determined during ourits loan approval process.

PriorThe interest rate charged to February 2010, major commercial bankscustomers by our banking subsidiaries is based, in Korea, including Shinhan Bank, principally used the certificate of deposit, or CD, rates in determining the base rate for secured housing loans, which represent the substantial majority of retail loans. However, amid concerns that the CD rates do not accurately represent the banks’ cost of capital as certificates of deposit constitute relatively a minor fraction of the banks’ liabilities and in light of the substantial variance in recent periods between the CD rates and the actual market rates, beginning in February 2010, the Korean Federation of Banks has publishedpart, on the “cost of funding index”, or COFIX, which is published by the Korean Federation of Banks. COFIX is computed based on the weighted average interest of select funding products (including time deposits, housing and other installment savings deposits, repos, discounted bills and senior non-convertible financial debentures) of nine major Korean banks (comprised of Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank, Hana Bank, Korea Exchange Bank, NHNonghyup Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea, Citibank Korea and Standard Chartered Bank)Bank Korea). Each bank then independently determines the interest rate applicable to its respective customers by adding a spread to the COFIX based on the difference between the COFIX and such bank’s general funding costs, administration fees, the customer’s credit score, the maturity of the loan and other customer-specific premiums and discounts based on the customer relationship with such bank. These interest rates are typically adjusted on a monthly basis.

Shinhan Bank also engages in treasury and securities investment business, which involves, among other things, treasury oractivities (consisting primarily of internal asset and liability management,management), securities investment trading and derivatives trading.
Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises Banking
Under the Basic Act on Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (the “SME Basic Act”) and itsthe related Presidential Decree, as amended effective from February 3, 2015, in order to qualify as a small- and medium-sized enterprise, (i) the number of regular employees of the enterprise must be less than 1,000, (ii) the enterprise’s total assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year must be less than ￦500W500 billion, (iii) the enterprise’s paid-in capital at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year must be less than ￦100 billion, (iv) the enterprise’s average sales revenues for the most recent three fiscal years must be less than ￦150 billion, (v)(ii) the enterprise must meet the standards prescribed by the Presidential Decree in relation to the average and total annual sales revenues applicable to the type of its main business, and (vi)(iii) the enterprise must meet the standards of management independence from ownership as prescribed by the Presidential Decree, including non-membership in a conglomerate as defined in the Monopoly Regulations and Fair Trade Act. Furthermore,However, if any entity which was a small- and medium-sized enterprise as defined in the SME Basic Act prior to the latest amendment no longer meets such definition following such amendment, such entity will be deemed a small- and medium-sized enterprise for purposes of January 26, 2012, non-profitthe SME Basic Act until March 31, 2018. Non-profit enterprises with a number of regular employees not exceeding 300 andor revenue of less than ￦30W30 billion that satisfy certain requirements prescribed in the Basic Act on Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises and its Presidential Decree may qualify as a small- and medium-sized enterprise. Furthermore, cooperatives and federations of cooperatives as prescribed by the Presidential Decree are deemed as small- and medium-sized enterprises, effective from April 15. 2014. As of December 31, 2012,2014, we made loans to 173,379220,135 small- and medium-sized enterprises for an aggregate amount ￦51,324W59,889 billion.
Our small- and medium-sized enterprises banking business has traditionally been and is expected to remain one of our core businesses, subject to prevailing market conditions. For example, since the onset of the global financial crisis and economic downturns in Korea starting in 2008, we have sharply reduced new lending to the small- and medium-sized enterprises and are currently focusing on maintaining the asset quality of existing loans to these enterprises. Depending on the level and scope of economic recovery, we may seek to focus on asset growth for these enterprises on a selective basis.
We believe that Shinhan Bank, whose traditional focus has been on small- and medium-sized enterprises lending, is well-positioned to succeed in the small- and medium-sized enterprises market in light of its marketing capabilities (which we believe have provided Shinhan Bank with significant customer loyalty) and its prudent risk management practices, including conservative credit rating systemsystems for credit approval. To maintain or increase its market share of small- and medium-sized enterprises lending, Shinhan Bank:
| • | has |
| • | operates a relationship management system to provide |
designed to serve both retail customers and, to a limited extent, corporate customers. These relationship management teams market products, and review and approve smaller loans |
| • | continues to focus on cross-selling loan products with other products. For example, when Shinhan Bank lends to small- and medium-sized enterprises, it also explores opportunities to cross-sell retail loans or deposit products to the employees of these enterprises or to provide financial advisory services. |

Large corporate customers consist primarily of member companies ofchaebolsand financial institutions. Our large corporate loans amounted to ￦33,713W33,381 billion as of December 31, 2012. As large2014. Large corporate customers tend to have better credit profiles than small- and medium-sized enterprises, since the onset of the global financial crisis and economic downturns in Korea starting in 2008,accordingly, Shinhan Bank has focusedexpanded its focus on attracting and retaining large corporatethese customers as part of its risk management policy.

Working capital loans generally have a maturity of one year, but may be extended on an annual basis for an aggregate term of three years in the case of unsecured loans and five years in the case of secured loans.

When evaluating whether to extend loans to corporate customers, Shinhan Bank reviews their creditworthiness, credit score, value of any collateral and/or third party guarantee. The value of collateral is computed using a formula that takes into account the appraised value of the collateral, any prior liens or other claims against the collateral and an adjustment factor based on a number of considerations including, with respect to property, the average value of any nearby property sold in a court-supervised auction during the previous year. Shinhan Bank revalues collateral when a secured loan is renewed or if a trigger event occurs with respect to the loan in question.
Pricing
Shinhan Bank determines the price for its corporate loan products based principally on their respective cost of funding and the expected loss rate based on the borrower’s credit risk. As of December 31, 2012, 62.24%2014, 64.17% of Shinhan Bank’s corporate loans with outstanding maturities of one year or more had variable interest rates that were not fixed but were variableas determined by reference to theirthe applicable market rates.
More specifically, the interest raterates on Shinhan Bank’s corporate loans isare generally determined as follows:
Interest rate = (Shinhan Bank’s periodic market floating rateor reference rate)plus transaction costplus a credit spreadplus risk premiumplus or minus a discretionary adjustment rate.adjustment.
Depending on the market condition and the agreement with the borrower, Shinhan Bank may use either its periodic market floating rate or the reference rate as the base rate in determining the interest rate for the borrower. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank’s periodic market floating rates (which are based on a base rate determined for a three-month, six-month, one-year, two-year, three-year or five-year periodsperiod, as applicable, as derived using Shinhan Bank’s market rate system) were 2.89%2.13% for three months, 2.88%2.17% for six months, 2.90%2.18% for one year, 2.99%2.23% for two years, 3.07%2.31% for three years and 3.21%2.49% for five years.

The Credit Guarantee Fund is a statutorily created entity that provides credit guarantees to loans made by commercial banks and is funded by mandatory contributions from commercial banks in the amount of approximately 0.2% of all loans made by them.
The credit spread is added to the periodic floating rate to reflect the expected loss based on the borrower’s credit rating and the value of any collateral or payment guarantee. In addition, Shinhan Bank adds a risk premium which takes into account the potential of unexpected loss that may exceed the expected loss from the credit rating assigned to a particular borrower.
A discretionary adjustment rate is added or subtracted to reflect the borrower’s current and/or future contribution to Shinhan Bank’s profitability. If additional credit is provided by way of a guarantee, of another loan, the adjustment rate is subtracted to reflect such change in the credit spread. In addition, depending on the price and other terms set by competing banks for similar borrowers, Shinhan Bank may reduce the interest rate to compete more effectively with other banks.

Trust Account Management Services
Overview
Shinhan Bank’s trust account management services involve management of trust accounts, primarily in the form of money trusts. Trust account customers are typically individuals seeking higher rates of return than those offered by bank account deposits. Because deposit reserve requirements do not apply to deposits held in trust accounts as opposed to deposits held in bank accounts, and regulations governing trust accounts tend to be less strict, Shinhan Bank is generally able to offer higher rates of return on trust account products than on bank deposit products. However, in recent years, due to the ongoing low interest environment, Shinhan Bank has not been able to offer attractive rates of return on its trust account products.
Trust account products generally require higher minimum deposit amounts than those required by comparable bank account deposit products. Unlike bank deposit products, deposits in trust accounts are invested primarily in securities (consisting principally of debt securities and beneficiary certificate for real estate financing) and, to a lesser extent, in loans, as the relative shortage of funding sources require that trust accounts be invested in a higher percentage of liquid assets.
Under the Banking Act, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the Trust Act, assets accepted in trust accounts are required to be segregated from other assets of the trustee bank and are not availableunavailable to satisfy the claims of the depositors or other creditors of such bank. Accordingly, trust accounts that are not guaranteed as to principal (or as to both principal and interest) are accounted for and reported separately from the bank accounts. See “— Supervision and Regulation.” Trust accounts are regulated by the Trust Act and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, and most national commercial banks offer similar trust account products. Shinhan Bank earns income from trust account management services, which is recorded as net trust management fees.

Credit Card Services
OverviewProducts and Services
We currently provide our credit card services principally through our credit card subsidiary, Shinhan Card, and to a limited extent, Jeju Bank. Former Shinhan Card was originally formed as a result of the spin-off of Shinhan Bank’s credit card business in June 2002. In April 2006, the credit card division of Chohung Bank was split and merged into former Shinhan Card concurrently with the merger of Chohung Bank and Shinhan Bank. Prior to the merger of former Shinhan Bank and Chohung Bank in April 2006, Chohung Bank had an active credit card business division. Chohung Bank was a member of BC Card Co., Ltd. (“BC Card”), which is owned by consortium banks. Shinhan Card currently holds an 1.0% equity interest in BC Card. BC Card issues credit cards under the names of the member banks, substantially all of which are licensed to use MasterCard, Visa or JCB. This enables holders of BC Card to use their cards at any establishment which accepts MasterCard, Visa or JCB, as the case may be.
In March 2007, we acquired the controlling equity interest in LG Card. On October 1, 2007, LG Card assumed all of the assets and liabilities of former Shinhan Card and changed its name to Shinhan Card. We believe that the acquisition of LG Card, which was the largest credit card company in Korea in terms of the number of cardholders, has contributed to our having the largest market share in the Korean credit card industry and diversifying our revenue sources by reducing our reliance on our banking operations.

Banking Service Channels
Our banking services are primarily provided through an extensive branch network, specializing in retail and corporate banking services, as complemented by self-service terminals and electronic banking, as well as an overseas services network.
As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank’s branch network in Korea comprised of 949901 service centers, consisting of 768our headquarters, 675 retail banking service centers, 11nine corporate banking service centers primarily designed to serve large corporate customers and 170216 hybrid banking branches designed to serve retail as well as small-business corporate customers. Shinhan Bank’s banking branches are designed to provide one-stop banking services tailored to their respective target customers.
Retail Banking Channels
In Korea, many retail transactions are conducted in cash or with credit cards, and conventional checking accounts are generally not offered or used as widely as in other countries such as the United States. As a result, an extensive retail branch network plays an important role for Korean banks as customers generally handle most transactions through bank branches. Recently, one of the key initiatives at Shinhan Bank has been to target high net worth individuals through private banking. Our private banking services are provided principally through private banking relationship managers who, within target customer groups, assist clients in developing individual investment strategies. We believe that such relationship managers help us foster enduring relationships with our clients. Private banking customers also have access to Shinhan Bank’s retail branch network and other general banking products Shinhan Bank offers through its retail banking operations.
Corporate Banking Channels
Shinhan Bank currently provides corporate banking services through corporate banking service centers primarily designed to serve large corporate customers and hybrid banking branches designed to serve retail as
well as small-business corporate customers. Small- and medium-sized enterprises have traditionally been Shinhan Bank’s core corporate customers and we plan to continue to maintain Shinhan Bank’s strength vis-à-vis these customers.
Self-Service Terminals
In order to complement its banking branch network, Shinhan Bank maintains an extensive network of automated banking machines, which are located in branches and in unmanned outlets. These automated banking machines consist of ATMs, cash dispensers and passbook printers. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank had 33333 cash dispensers and 7,4237,434 ATMs. Shinhan Bank has actively promoted the use of these distribution outlets in order to provide convenient service to customers, as well as to maximize the marketing and sales functions at the branch level, reduce employee costs and improve profitability. We believe that use of Shinhan Bank’s automated banking machines has increased in recent years. In 2012,2014, automated banking machine transactions accounted for a substantial portion and a majority of total deposit and withdrawal transactions of Shinhan Bank in terms of the number of transactions and fee revenue generated, respectively.
Electronic Banking
Shinhan Bank’s Internet banking services are more comprehensive than those available at the counter, including such services as 24-hour account balance posting, real-time account transfer, overseas remittance and loan requests. Shinhan Bank also offers mobile banking services in order to enable customers to make speedy, convenient and secure banking transactions using mobile phones. As the purpose of electronic banking is primarily cost-saving rather than profit generation, the substantial majority of Shinhan Bank’s electronic banking transactions do not generate fee income.

In addition, in April 2015, we obtained the approval from financial regulatory authorities in Indonesia for our acquisition of a 40% equity interest in PT. Bank Metro Express, a small-sized bank in Indonesia. We expect the closing for this transaction will occur in the third quarter of 2015.
Currently, our overseas subsidiaries and branches are primarily engaged in trade financing and local currency funding for Korean companies and Korean nationals in the overseas markets, as well as providing foreign exchange services in conjunction with Shinhan Bank’s headquarters. On a limited basis, these overseas branches and subsidiaries also engage in investment and trading of securities of foreign issuers. In the future, as part of our globalization efforts, we plan to expand our coverage of local customers in the overseas markets by providing a wider range of services in retail and corporate banking, and to that end, we have increasingly established subsidiaries in lieu of branches in select markets and in 2011 merged two of our Vietnam banking subsidiaries in order to enhance our presence and enable a greater flexibility in our service offerings in these markets.
Credit Card Distribution Channels
Shinhan Card primarily uses three distribution channels to attract new credit card customers: (i) the banking and credit card branch network, (ii) sales agents, and (iii) business partnerships and affiliations with vendors.
The branch network for our credit card operations consisted of 949901 branches as of December 31, 20122014 of Shinhan Bank and 1233 card sales branches eight debt collection branches and 16 combined operations branches (which includes card, installment and debt collection services) of Shinhan Card. The use of the established distribution network of Shinhan Bank is part of the group-wide cross-selling efforts of selling credit card products to existing banking customers. In 2012,2014, the number of new cardholders acquired through our banking distribution network accounted for approximately 16.5%17.7% of the total number of new cardholders. We believe that the banking distribution network will continue to provide a stable and low-cost venue for acquiring high-quality credit cardholders.
The sales agents represented the most significant source of Shinhan Card’s new cardholders in 2012,2014, and the number of new cardholders acquired through sales agents accounted for approximately 62.0%59.9% of the total number of Shinhan Card’s new cardholders in 2012.2014. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Card had 5,4084,098 sales agents, of which 5,008who were independent contractors and 400 were sales agents of Shinhan Card’s business partners and affiliates.contractors. These sales agents assist prospective customers with the application process and customer service. Compensation of these sales agents is tied to the transaction volume and the repayment patterns of the customers introduced by them, and we believe this system helps to minimize credit risk and enhance profitability.
As a way of acquiring new cardholders, Shinhan Card also has business partnership and affiliation arrangements with a number of vendors, including gas stations, major retailers, airlines and telecommunication and Internet service providers. Shinhan Card plans to continue to leverage its alliances with such vendors to attract new cardholders.
In November 2014, as an initial step to exploring potential opportunities overseas Shinhan Card established its first overseas subsidiary in Kazakhstan, LLP MFO Shinhan Finance, as Kazakhstan was deemed to have relatively low entry barriers to foreign financial institutions, high growth potential for retail operations and the possibility of leveraging Shinhan Bank’s network. LLP MFO Shinhan Finance, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shinhan Card, is expected to obtain its business license by the end of 2015, following which it is expected to receive capital contributions from Shinhan Card and engage in retail operations, including installment financing, credit loans and financing leases.
Securities Brokerage Distribution Channels
Our securities brokerage services are conducted principally through Shinhan Investment. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Investment had 10395 service centers nationwide, and two overseas subsidiaries based in New York and Hong Kong to service our corporate customers.
Approximately 62%49.5% of our brokerage branches are located in the Seoul metropolitan area with a focus on attracting high net worth individual customers as well as enhancing synergy with our retail and corporate banking branch network. We plan to continue to explore new business opportunities, particularly in the corporate customer segment, through further cooperation between Shinhan Investment and Shinhan Bank.
Insurance Sales and Distribution Channels
We sell and provide our insurance services primarily through Shinhan Life Insurance. Shinhan Life Insurance, in addition to distributing bancassurance products through our bank branches, also distributes a wide range of life insurance products through its own branch network, an agency network of financial planners and telemarketers, as well as through the Internet. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Life Insurance had 225186 branches and 13 customer support centers. These branches are staffed by financial planners, telemarketers, agent marketers and bancassurance to meet the various needs of our insurance and lending customers. Our group-wide
customer support centers arrange for policy loans (namely loans secured by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policy) for our insurance customers and, to a limited extent, other loans to other customers, and also handle insurance payments.
Information Technology
We dedicate substantial resources to maintaining a sophisticated information technology system to support our operations management and provide high quality customer service. In 2008 we developedOur information and technology system is operated at a group-wide level based on a comprehensive group-wide information collection and processing. We also operate a single group-wide enterprise information technology system known as “enterprise data warehouse” in order to maximize the synergy between our subsidiaries. The enterprise data warehouse, which is being continuously upgraded, serves as the foundation to our enhancedfor customer relations management capabilities, risk management systems and data processing, which is designed to maximize synergy among our subsidiaries. We continually upgrade our group-wide information technology system in order to apply the best-in-class technology to our risk management systemsystems to reflect the changes in our business environment as well as enhance differentiation from our new data processing center currently under development for target completion bycompetitors.
At the end of 2014. Since 2009,subsidiary level, we have operated our information and technology system at a group-wide level (rather than the previous subsidiary-specific level) based on a comprehensive group-wide information collection and processing.
In addition, we are currently continuingalso continue to upgrade the information technology systems for each of our subsidiaries to enhance the quality of our customer service specific to such subsidiary. We have completed the implementation of improved systems for Shinhan Life Insurance in November 2008subsidiary and Shinhan Investment in August 2009, and completed the IT integration for LG Card and former Shinhan Card in August 2008. Withthereby bolsters their respective competitiveness, including with respect to Shinhan Bank, we have completed upgrading its electronic and mobile banking system in February 2012 and have been providing(including by means of smartphones), online consultation, expandexpanded sales services and customized informational services. In addition, we have enhancedrecently strengthened our smartphoneindirect service channels through a major upgrade of the corporate online banking services and expansion of mobile phone-based product offerings and sales and service by providing a more convenient and securenetworks in light of the growing base of customers who increasingly access financial services through their mobile platform. phones.
In addition, we are continuinghave established a groupwide customer credit rating system to upgradeenhance precision in assessing the creditworthiness of our customers and developed information technology systems to bolster our market leadership in retirement planning services in light of Shinhan Bank’sthe rapidly aging demographics in Korea. Furthermore, we have expanded information technology systems to support the sales and operational capabilities of our overseas subsidiaries and branches through a global customer management system as well as provide country-specific financial services.
In 2013, we completed the construction of the Integrated Data Center, which is responsible for comprehensive management of information technology systems for our subsidiaries on a global basis,groupwide basis. This center ensures a stable use of a central information processing facilities for at least 15 years and is designed to maximize operational and cost efficiency as well as enhance information security by combining the various data centers previously used by our subsidiaries. All of our subsidiaries have completed relocation of their information management capabilities to this center by the first half of 2014.
In order to enhance the qualitysecurity and trustworthiness of the customer service specificfinancial services provided by us, we continually seek to each such subsidiary, includingenhance a group-wide set of standards for information security and upgrading the AITHER System,related systems. In 2008, we established group-wide information systems and policies, which hashave since been implemented in Shinhan Bank’s subsidiaries in Japan, China,continually updated and upgraded. In 2014, we further upgraded the United States, Europe, India, Khmer, Kazakhstan, Canada and Vietnam.
Following the completion of upgrade in October 2012, Shinhan Card’sgroupwide information technology offers greater operational efficiency through enhanced software programs and data processing capabilities and quicker response time to on-floor requests.
During 2010, our information technology initiatives included installing a financial reporting system to comply with IFRS standards, which commenced on January 1, 2011, and is currently monitored to ensure stable operation. Since July 2011, we have operated a group-wide security control tower to enhance the security featuresa best-in-class level and replaced most of our internal information management systems on a group-wide level. In addition, in September 2011, we obtained for us and each of our subsidiaries the ISO 27001 certification, which certifies that we meet the international security standards for information management. Our current information technology initiatives include improving our group-wide security management system to further ensure secure financial transactions for our customers. Although we believe our ISO 27001 certified security management system is one of the most sophisticated in the industry, we are continuously upgrading our group-wide security monitoring systemstaff with highly qualified outside experts in order to preemptreinforce our security defense capabilities in the event of cyber breaches. In addition, we have newly established a team within our group to provide specialized data protection and counter evolving external cyber invasions such as “distributed denial of service”, or DDoS, attacksrelated support services to our smaller operating subsidiaries, and we take active measures to preemptively forestall any security breaches such as that experienced by Nonghyup Bank. In March 2013, we experienced a temporary interruption in providing online financial services due to a large-scale cyber attack on the security systems of major broadcasting networks and financial institutions in Korea by sources that have yet to be identified. Interruption of our online financial services lasted approximately 90 minutes, after which our online system resumed without further malfunction. The Financial Supervisory Service is currently conducting an investigation into the incident, and we plan to adopt additional safety measures once the causes of such cyber attacks are identified. We do not believe such incident resulted in any material loss or loss of customer
information or other sensitive data. Since 2008, our efforts to improve our information technology security capabilities on a group-wide level include upgrading our security guidelines, establishing an information technology security center, which includes a security help desk open 24 hours, seven days a week, creating a team dedicated to responding to security breaches, increasing investment in our security management system and strengthening our team of security experts. We plan to implement such upgrades in each of our business segments. We regularly diagnose and take appropriate measures to protect our system from potential security threats and maintain a dedicated team for this purpose.
OurThe information technology system for each of our subsidiaries is currently backed up on a real-time basis. We have establishedIn 2014, we converted the pre-existing data center to a completely duplicative back-up IT systemand disaster recovery center for all our subsidiaries’ operations in different locations in Korea, depending on the subsidiary,order to provide customer services in a back-up system in the event of any system failure of our primary information technology center located in the suburbs of Seoul. See “Item 4.D. — Properties.” Our information technology system at the group level is currently able to fully resume operation within an hourcontinued seamless manner even in the case of an interruption at Shinhan Data Center. We believe that our centralized back-up systems enable more efficient back-up at a complete disruptionhigher level of the information technology system at our headquarters.security.
Competition
Competition in the Korean financial services industry is, and is likely to remain, intense.intense, including as a result of the sustained low interest rate environment (which narrows opportunities to make profit based on the spread between lending rates and funding rates), the continuing sluggishness in the general economy, the growing maturation and saturation of the industry as a whole, the entry of new market participants and deregulation, among others.
In the banking sector, Shinhan Bank competes principally with other national commercial banks in Korea, but also faces competition from a number of additional banking institutions, including branches and subsidiaries of foreign banks operating in Korea, regional banks, government-owned development banks and Korea’s specialized banks, such as Korea Development Bank, the Industrial Bank of Korea and the National Association of Agriculture and Fisheries, as well as various other types of financial service providers, including savings institutions (such as mutual savings and finance companies, credit unions and credit cooperatives), investment companies (such as securities brokerage firms, merchant banking corporations and asset management companies) and life insurance companies. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Korea had seven major nationwide domestic commercial banks (including Citibank Korea Inc. and Standard Chartered Bank Korea Limited, both of which are domestic commercial banks acquired by global financial institutions), six regional commercial banks and branches and subsidiaries of 3940 foreign banks. We believe that foreignForeign financial institutions, many of which have greater experiences and resources than we do, willmay continue to enter the Korean market and compete with us in providing financial products and services either by themselves or in partnership with existing Korean financial institutions.
In the small- and medium-sized enterprise and retail banking segments, which have been Shinhan Bank’s traditional core businesses, competition is expected to increase further, although in a more limited fashion compared to that prior to thefurther. In recent global financial crisis. Prior to the crisis, mostyears, Korean banks, including Shinhan Bank, focused on enlarging their assets through aggressive loan growth from small- and medium-sized enterprises and retail customers and, to a lesser extent, from large corporate borrowers, while developing fee income businesses, including bancassurance and investment products, as complementary sources of revenue. Following the crisis, the Korean banks, including Shinhan Bank, arehave increasingly focusingfocused on stable asset growth based on quality credit, such as corporate borrowers with high credit ratings, loans to small- and medium-sized and SOHO customers with high levels of collateralization, and mortgage and home equity loans within the limits of the prescribed loan-to-value ratios and debt-to-income ratios, while reducing their credit exposure to small- and medium-sized enterprises.ratios. This largely shared shift in focus toward stable growth based on less risky assets is likely to result in lower net interest margin and reduced overall profitability, especiallyhas intensified competition as the banks compete for the same limited pool of quality credit by engaging in price competition or by other means.means although Shinhan Bank has traditionally focused, and will continue to focus, on enhancing profitability rather than increasing asset size or market share, and has avoided, to the extent practicable, engaging in price competition by way of lowering lending rates. In addition, such competition may result in lower net interest margin and reduced overall profitability, especially if the low interest rate environment were to continue for a significant period of time. Therefore, if competing financial institutions seek to expand market share by lowering their lending rates, Shinhan Bank may suffer customer loss, especially among customers who select their lenders principally on the basis of lending rates. In response thereto or for other strategic reasons, Shinhan Bank may subsequently lower theirits lending rates to stay competitive, which could lead to a decrease in its net interest margins and outweigh any positive impact on the net interest margin from a general rise in market interest rates. Any future decline in Shinhan Bank’s customer base or its net interest margins could have an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
In the credit card sector, Shinhan Card competes principally with existing “monoline” credit card companies, credit card divisions of commercial banks, consumer finance companies, other financial institutions and, recently, credit card service providers allied with mobile telecommunications service providers in Korea. Competition has been historically intense in this sector and the market has shown signs of saturation as existing and new credit card service providers such as credit card companies spun off from KB Financial Group, mademake significant investments and engagedengage in aggressive marketing campaigns and promotions to acquire new customers and target customers with high credit quality. While competition has subsided somewhat recently due to stricter government regulations, such as curbs on excessive marketing expenses, competition remains intense and credit card issuers may continue to compete with Shinhan Card for customers by offering lower interest rates and fees, higher credit limits, more attractive promotions and incentives and alternative products such as phone cards, gift cards and low-interest consumer loan products. As a result, Shinhan Card may lose customers or service opportunities to competing credit card issuers and/or incur
higher marketing expenses. In addition, recentthe Government regulations adopted in 2012 mandating lower merchant fees chargeable to small- and medium-sized businesses and the Government guidelines issued in 2013 suggesting lower standard interest rates for cash advances and card loans have reduced and are likely to reducecontinue to limit the revenues of credit card companies, including Shinhan Card. Furthermore, the Government’s recent guidelines to bolster consumer protection and protect customers’ personal data in the aftermath of data leaks at certain credit companies (not including Shinhan Card) may result in additional compliance costs for Shinhan Card. Customer attrition, together with any further lowering of fees or reduction in base and market interest rates and/or additional expenses from more extensive marketing and promotional campaigns that Shinhan Card might implement to acquire and retain customers, could reduce its revenues and earnings. Furthermore, the average credit quality of Shinhan Card’s customers may declinedeteriorate if customers with higher credit quality borrow from Shinhan Card’sour competitors rather than from Shinhan Card.Card and it may become more difficult for Shinhan Card to attract and maintain quality customers. In general, the growth, market share and profitability of Shinhan Card’s operations may decline or become negative as a result of market saturation in this sector, interest rate competition, pressure to lower fee rates and incur higher marketing expenses, as well as Government regulation and social and economic developments in Korea that are beyond our control, such as changes in consumer confidence levels, spending patterns or public perception of credit card usage and consumer debt. If Shinhan Card fails to maintain or attract new cardholders or increase the card usage by existing customers or experiences deterioration in its asset quality and a rise in delinquency, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In other financial services sectors, our other subsidiaries also compete in a highly fragmented markets.market. Some of our competitors, particularly the major global financial institutions, have greater experience and resources than we do.
Consolidation among our rival institutions may also add competition in the markets in which we and our subsidiaries conduct business. The Korean banking industry may undergo further consolidation either voluntarily or as part of government-led initiatives.initiatives, including privatization, although the Government announced in March 2013 that it would no longer pursue privatization of Korea Development Bank and Industrial Bank of Korea. Some of the financial institutions resulting from these developments may, by virtue of their increased size, expanded business scope and more efficient operations, provide greater competition for us. For example, partly to facilitate the Government plans to eventually privatize Korea Development Bank, onesale of Government-invested members of the Government’s key policy banks. In January 2010, the Government announced its intent to sell its controlling stake informer Woori Financial Group onewhich had not materialized despite a prolonged attempt to sell them as a whole, beginning in 2013 the Government has promoted the sale of such members in three separate groups (namely, commercial banking, regional banking, and securities and investment). As a result, the securities and investment members of the top three financial holding companies in Korea in terms of assets as of December 31, 2012 with a similarly ranked banking operation. Ifformer Woori Financial Group (including Woori Investment & Securities) were sold to other domestic financial institutions in the first half of 2014 and its regional banking members (namely, Kyongnam Bank and Gwangju Bank) were sold to other domestic financial institutions in October 2014. In November 2014, Woori Financial Group was dissolved and merged into Woori Bank, with all the remaining subsidiaries of the former Woori Financial Group having been converted into subsidiaries of Woori Bank. The Government continues to seek to sell Woori Bank, and the outlook for such sale remains uncertain. If one of major competitors or a foreign financial institution were to acquire Woori Bank or any of its major operating subsidiaries, were to be acquired by a rival bank or financial holding company, the consolidated entity willmay have a greater scale of operations, including a larger customer base, and financial resources than us, which may hurt our ability to compete effectively. In addition, in February 2012,April 2013, Korea Exchange Bank became part of Hana Financial Group which ownsafter acquisition of the former by the latter in February 2012, and operatesin October 2014, Korea Exchange Bank entered into an agreement to be merged into Hana Bank, one of the major commercial banks in Korea, received the regulatory approval to acquire a controlling equity interest in Korea Exchange Bank, another major commercial bank in Korea, from Lone Star Funds, and in April 2013 Korea Exchange Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hana Financial Group and was delisted. In March 2012, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, another policy bank of the Government, was reorganized into a holding company structure pursuant to which several of its financial business units were spun off into separate subsidiaries, including banking, life insurance and non-life insurance units. Furthermore, former specialized banking institutions, such as the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and Industrial Bank of Korea, are in the course of actively expanding their retail operations.Korea. Any of these developments may place us at a competitive disadvantage and outweigh any potential benefit to us in the form of opportunities to acquire new customers who are displeased with the level of services at the newly reorganized entities or to provide credit facilities to corporate customers who wish to maintain relationships with a wide range of banks in order to diversify their sources of funding.
As the Korean economy further develops and new business opportunities arise, more competitors may enter the financial services industry. Recently, banks are beginning to compete for new customers and it is likely that competition between bank-operated credit card companies and independent card companies willmay increase substantially. For
example, as part of the aforementioned privatization efforts by the Government, Woori Card may be sold to another major credit card company, in 2009, Hana SKwhich case it is possible that a credit card company comparable to Shinhan Card was launchedin terms of asset size and customer base may newly emerge. Furthermore, as online service providers with large-scale user networks, such as Daum Kakao, make significant inroads in providing virtual payment services through a partnership between Hana Financial Group Inc.system based on a growing convergence of financial services and SK Telecom.technology commonly referred to as “fintech”, competition for online customers is growing not just among commercial banks, but also from online service providers. Accordingly, the commercial banks are facing increasing pressure to upgrade their service platforms to attract and maintain online users, which represents a growing customer base compared to traditional customers who have primarily conducted banking in-person at physical banking branches. In addition, in November 2011, BC Card became a subsidiary of KT Group while the KDB Group and Korea Post have recently announced their intentions to enter the credit card industry.
Furthermore, large non-financial institutions, such as mobile telecommunications companies, have also been reported to be consideringwhich on a combined basis service most of the Korean population, may expand entry into the Korean credit card and consumer finance businesses by way of convergence with the existing and future mobile telephone networks. SK Telecom, Korea Telecom and LG Uplus have been actively providing mobile phone payment services through payment solutions tailored for smartphones. As these companies are the three largest telecommunications service providers in Korea serving a substantial majority of the Korean population,Accordingly, a widespread consumer acceptance of mobile phone payment services in lieu of credit card services could pose a seriousadd to competitive threat to the existing credit card service providers, including our credit card subsidiary.
Competition inRecently, following the Korean financial services industry may also intensify as a result of deregulation. For example, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, which became effective in February 2009, promotes integration and rationalization of the Korean capital markets and financial investment products industry by permitting a wider range of financial services providers to engage in a broader sphere of financial activities, including depositary services, and has, to a significant extent, removed the regulatory barriers between securities brokerage, asset management, derivative financial services and trust services in favor of creating financial investment companies that may engage in all of the foregoing activities. Accordingly, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act enables the creation of large financial institutions that can offer both commercial and investment banking services modeled after the major global financial institutions based in the United States and Europe. In addition, in 2008, the Korean legislature proposed an amendment to the Bank Act, which would permit certain qualified entities to provide online banking services as their primary business without being required to establish a branch network. Such amendment, if passed, may further intensify competition in the Korean banking industry.Recently, in light of the recent global financial crisis, the Government has subjected Korean financial institutions to stricter regulatory requirements and guidelines in areas of asset quality, capital adequacy, liquidity and residential and other lending practices, which has had a dampening effect on competition. The Financial Services Commission implemented the capital requirements of Basel III, the minimum requirements of which are being phased in sequentially from December 1, 2013 and will become fully effective on January 1, 2019, based on the guidelines set forth in the amended Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business and the Detailed Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business. In addition, the Financial Services Commission announced its plan to implement Basel III requirements relating to liquidity coverage ratio and countercyclical capital buffer in 2015 and 2016, respectively, among other Basel III requirements. However, there is no assurance that these measures will continue to curb competition or that the Government will not reverse or reduce such measures or introduce other deregulatory measures, which may further intensify competition.competition in the Korean financial services industry.
If we are unable to compete effectively in the changing business and regulatory environment, our profit margin and market share may erode and our future growth opportunities may become limited, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and financial condition.operations. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Overall Business — Competition in the Korean financial services industry is intense, and may further intensify as a result of further deregulation” and “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Supervision and Regulation — Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.”

Nonaccrual Loans and Past Due Accruing Loans
Except in the case of repurchased loans, we generally recognize interest income on nonaccrual loans using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows of such loans for the purpose of measuring impairment
loss. Generally, we discontinue accruing of interest on loans (other than repurchased loans) when payment of interest and/or principal becomes past due by 90 days. Loans (other than repurchased loans) are not reclassified as accruing until interest and principal payments are brought current.
We generally do not request borrowers to make immediate repayment of the whole outstanding principal balances and related accrued interest on loans whose interest payments are past due for one to 14 days in the case of commercial loans and one to 30 days in the case of retail loans.
Interest foregone is the interest due on nonaccrual loans that has not been accrued in our books of account. In 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 20122014 we would have recorded gross interest income of ￦145W145 billion, ￦131W131 billion,W163 billion,W119 billion and ￦163W113 billion respectively, on loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis throughout the respective years, or since origination for loans held for part of the year, had the loans been current with respect to their original contractual terms. The amount of interest income on those loans that was included in our net income in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 20122014 were ￦52W52 billion, ￦66W66 billion,W70 billion,W58 billion and ￦70W53 billion, respectively.
The following table shows, at the dates indicated, the amount of loans that are placed on a nonaccrual basis and accruing loans which are past due one day or more. The term “accruing but past due one day” includes loans which are still accruing interest but on which principal or interest payments are contractually past due one day or more. We continue to accrue interest on loans where the total amount of loan outstanding, including accrued interest, is fully secured by cash on deposits.

Credit Exposures to Companies in Workout Court Receivership or Compositionand Recovery Proceedings
Our credit exposures to restructuring are managedmonitored and collectedmanaged by our Corporate Credit Collection Department. As of December 31, 2012, 0.4%2014, 0.3% of our total loans, or ￦868W635 billion (of which ￦695W462 billion was classified as nonaccrual and ￦173W173 billion was classified as accruing), was under restructuring. Restructuring of our credit exposures principallygenerally takes the legal form of workout court receivership or composition.
Workout
Under the Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act, which was in effect from August 2007 to April 29, 2011, and became reinstated on May 19, 2011 towill remain effective until December 31, 2013,2015, all creditors to borrowers that are financial institutions are required to participate in a creditors’ committee. The Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act mandatorily applies to a wide range of financial institutions in Korea, which include commercial banks, insurance companies, asset management companies, securities companies, merchant banks, the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Korea Asset Management Corporation. Under this act, the approval of financial institution creditors holding not less than 75% of the total debt outstanding of a borrower is required for such borrower’s restructuring plan, including debt restructuring and provision of additional funds, which plan isbecomes binding on all the financial institution creditors of the borrower, provided that any financial institution creditor that disagrees with the final restructuring plan approved by the creditors’ committee has the right to request the creditors’ committee to purchase its claims at a mutually agreed price. In the event thatIf the creditors’ committee and the dissenting financial institution creditor fail to come to an agreement, a mediation committee consisting of seven experts is set up to resolve the matter. There is a risk that these procedures may require us to participate in a plan we do not agree with or may require us to sell our claims at prices that we do not believe
are adequate. With respect to any workout for which the lead creditor bank called for a meeting of the creditors’ committee while the old Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act was still effective, the procedures applicable to such creditors’ committee and the related workout remain subject to the old Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act until the suspension or conclusion of such workout, provided that such workout became subject to the procedures under the reinstated Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act as of its effective date, as opposed to the old Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act, even if such workout began while the old law was in effect. Under the reinstated Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act, if any of our borrowers becomes subject to corporate restructuring procedures, we may be forced to (i) restructure our credits pursuant to restructuring plans approved by other creditor financial institutions holding 75% or more of the total outstanding debt (and 75% or more of the total outstanding secured debt, if the restructuring plan includes the restructuring of existing secured debt) of the borrower or (ii) dispose of our credits to other creditors on unfavorable terms.
The total loan amount currently undergoing workout as of December 31, 20122014 was ￦683W476 billion.
Court Receivership and CompositionRecovery Proceedings
TheUnder the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act, which took effect on April 1, 2006, is designed to consolidate all existing bankruptcy-related laws in Korea, namely the Corporate Reorganization Act, the Composition Act, the Bankruptcy Act and the Individual Debtor Recovery Act. Under the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act, composition proceedingscourt receiverships have been abolished andreplaced with recovery proceedings have been introduced to replace the court receiverships.proceedings. In a recovery proceeding, unlike court receivership proceedings where the management of the debtor company was vested in a court appointed receiver, the existing chief executive officer of the debtor company may continue to manage the debtor company, provided, that (i) neither fraudulent conveyance nor concealment of assets existed, (ii) the financial failure of the debtor company was not due to gross negligence of such chief executive officer, and (iii) no creditors’ meeting was convened to request, based on reasonable cause, a court-appointed receiver to replace such chief executive officer. While a court receivership proceeding was permitted only with respect to joint stock companies (chushik-hoesa), the recoveryRecovery proceeding may be commenced by any insolvent debtor. Furthermore, in an effort to meet the global standards, international bankruptcy procedures have been introduced in Korea under which a receiver of a foreign bankruptcy proceeding may, upon receiving Korean court approval of the ongoing foreign bankruptcy proceeding, apply for or participate in a Korean bankruptcy proceeding. Similarly, a receiver in a domestic recovery proceeding or a bankruptcy trustee is allowed to perform its duties in a foreign country where an asset of the debtor is located to the extent the applicable foreign law permits.
Any composition, corporate reorganization, bankruptcy and rehabilitation proceedings for individual debtors pending as of April 1, 2006, the effective date of the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act, continue to proceed in accordance with the respective applicable laws.
As of December 31, 2012,2014, the total loan amount subject to compositionrecovery proceedings was ￦185W159 billion. No loan amount was subject to court receivership.receivership or composition proceedings.
Loans in the process of workout court receivership or compositionand recovery proceedings are reported as nonaccrual loans on our statements of financial position as described in “— Nonaccrual Loans and Past Due Accruing Loans” above since generally, they are past due by more than 90 days and interest does not accrue on such loans. Restructured loans that meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring are included withinreported as troubled debt restructurings as described above in “— Troubled Debt Restructurings” described above.. Such restructured loans are disclosedreported as either loans or securities on our statements of financial position depending on the type of instrument we receive afteras a result of the restructuring.
Credit Rehabilitation Programs for Delinquent Consumer and Small- and Medium-sized Enterprise Borrowers
In light of the gradual increase in delinquencies in credit card and other consumer credit, the Korean government has implemented a number of measures intended to support the rehabilitation of the credit of delinquent consumer borrowers. These measures may affect the amount and timing of our collections and recoveries on our delinquent consumer credits.
Upon application to the Credit Counseling and Recovery Service and approval of a majority of unsecured and secured creditor financial institutions, a qualified “credit delinquent person” with outstanding debts to financial institutions in an aggregate amount not exceedingW1.5 billion may participate in an “individual work-out program” designed to restructure such person’s debt and rehabilitate such person’s credit.
Under the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act, a qualified individual debtor with outstanding debts in an aggregate amount not exceeding threshold amounts of ￦500W500 million of unsecured debt and/or ￦1W1 billion of secured debt may restructure his or her debts through a court-supervised debt restructuring that is binding on creditors.
In 2008,Kookmin Happy Fund, which has been established by the Financial Services Commission, purchases defaulted loans from creditors or provide credit guarantees to enable refinancing at lower rates in order to support consumerassist retail borrowers with low credit scores, the Financial Services Commission established the Credit Rehabilitation Fund to purchase from creditors the loans of such borrowers that are in default and to provide guarantees so that such loans may be refinanced at lower rates. The Credit Rehabilitationscores. More specifically, Kookmin Happy Fund provides supportcredit guarantees to borrowers who (i) individuals with lowhave credit scores who are in default on loans not exceeding ￦30 million in principal amount in the aggregatebetween category 6 and 10 (which requirement will be waived for individuals who are “basic living welfare recipients”) or have an annual income not exceedingW30 million); (ii) earn an annual income not exceedingW40 million (or, in the case of borrowers who are self-employed or have two or more dependent family members, earn an annual income not exceedingW45 million); (iii) have made timely repayments for a period ofat least six months in an aggregate repayment amount exceedingW10 million or for at least three months or more and (ii) individuals with low credit scores ranging from category 7in an aggregate repayment amount not exceedingW10 million. In 2014, we sold loans in an aggregate amount ofW0.5 billion to 10 who are in default on loans not exceeding ￦30 million in principal amount inKookmin Happy Fund.
Under the aggregate (which requirement will be waived for individuals who are basic living welfare recipients) and the interest rateguidelines of which is 20% or more. We did not sell any loans to the Credit Rehabilitation Fund in 2012.
In 2008, the Financial Supervisory Service, requested Korean banks, including us, to establishoperate a “fast track” program to provide liquidity assistance to small- and medium-sized enterprises on an expedited basis. Under the fast track program we established, which is effective until the end of 2013,2015, we provided liquidity assistance to small- and medium-sized enterprise borrowers applying for such assistance, in the form of new short-term loans or maturity extensions or interest rate adjustments with respect to existing loans, after expedited credit review and approval by us.
In 2009,Under the guidelines of the Financial Services Commission, requested Korean banks, including us, to establishalso operate a “pre-workout program,” including a credit counseling and recovery service, for retail borrowers with short-term outstanding debt. The pre-workout program is expected to be in operation until April 2013. Our pre-workout program is generally available to retail borrowers meeting all of the following requirements: (i) unsecured borrowings from at least two financial institutions not exceeding ￦500W500 million in the aggregate; (ii) payment default of more than 30 days but less than 90 days; (iii) all borrowings newly made within six months prior to the application for the pre-workout program not to exceed 30% of the applicant’s total outstanding borrowings; (iv) the annual aggregate amount of principal and interest payment obligations being 30% or more of the borrower’s annual income; (v) assets in possession of less than ￦600 million asW1 billion, and in the case of real estate, calculated based on the official land price announced by the National Tax Service;Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport; and (vi) a person deemed by the pre-workout committee to be impaired in his or her ability to repay without a pre-workout arrangement due to layoff, unemployment, business closure, disaster or earnings loss. Retail borrowers who fail any of these requirements, have previously participated in the pre-workout program or have lost eligibility in the course of participating in a previous pre-workout program are ineligible to participate in the pre-workout program.
Once a borrower is deemed to be eligible to participate in the pre-workout program, we promptly sell the collateral underlying such borrower’s secured loans to mitigate our losses, and we may restructure such borrower’s unsecured loans (regardless of their type) as follows:
| • | Extension of maturity: Based on considerations of the type of loan, the total loan amount, the repayment amount and the probability of repayment, the maturity of the loan may be extended by up to 10 years. |
| • | Interest rate |
annum, no adjustment applies. The adjusted interest rate applies to the principal amount following any adjustment thereto as part of the pre-workout program, and no interest accrues on the interest already accrued or fees payable. |
| • | Debt forgiveness: Debt forgiveness under the pre-workout program is limited to (i) the default interest accrued prior to the application for the pre-workout program and (ii) the regular and default interest accrued following such application but before the approval of the program. |
| • | Deferral: If the foregoing three measures are deemed to be insufficient in terms of providing meaningful assistance to a qualifying borrower due to layoff, unemployment, business closure, disaster or earnings loss, loan repayment may be deferred for a maximum of one year,provided that the pre-workout committee may extend such deferral period upon the borrower’s application which can be made at a one-month interval. The deferral period is not counted toward the repayment period, and interest accrues at 3% per annum during the deferral period. |
In 2010, 2011 and 2012, loans in2014, the aggregate amountsamount of ￦70 billion, ￦70 billion and ￦60 billion were modified underour retail credit (including credit card receivables) provided by Shinhan Bank’sBank which became subject to the pre-working program wasW45 billion. We believe that our participation in such pre-workout program respectively. All such modifiedhas not had a material impact on the overall asset quality of our retail loans became beneficiariesand credit card portfolio or on our results of maturity extensionoperations and interest rate reductions, while a substantially limited portion of such loans also became beneficiaries of debt forgiveness and deferral.financial condition to-date.
Loan Modification Programs for Loans Underunder Restructuring
We generally offer the following types of concessions in relation to restructured loans: reduction of interest rate, forgiveness of overdue interest, extension of the term for repayment of principal, conversion of debt into equity or the combination of the foregoing. The nature and degree of such concessions vary depending on, among other things, the creditworthiness of the borrower, the size of loans being restructured, the existing terms of the loans and other factors deemed relevant by the relevant creditors’ committee. We generally do not restructure an existing loan into multiple new loans (for example, an A Note/B Note structure).
The following table presents a breakdown of the gross amount of loans under restructuring as of December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 20122014 by our loan modification programs, as further categorized according to the loan category and performing versus nonperformingnon-performing status.

Debt-to-equity Conversion
We distinguish between loans that we consider to be collectible under modified terms and loans that we consider to be uncollectible regardless of any modification of terms. With respect to a loan that we consider to be uncollectible regardless of any modification of terms,loans in the latter category, we convert a portion of such loanloans into equity securities following negotiation with the borrowerborrowers and charge off the remainder of such loanloans as further described below. The equity securities so converted are recorded at fair value, based on the market value of such securities if available or the appraisal value of such securities by an outside appraiser if a market value is unavailable. In 2012, we converted2014, our loans restructured into equity securities restructured loans amountingamounted to ￦109W59 billion, of which ￦84W32 billion was subsequently treated as charge-off and ￦25W27 billion was treated as the new cost basis of the equity securities.
Debt-to-equity conversion generally has two primary benefits. One, the debt-to-equity conversion reduces the amount of loans and related interest expenses of the borrower, resulting in lesser debt burden and greater liquidity for the borrower, a greater likelihood of its exit from restructuring and the repayment of its obligations to us. Two, in the case of a successful turnaround of the borrower, we are entitled to the upside gains from the increase in the value of the equity securities so converted. Notwithstanding these benefits, however, the resulting impact from the debt-to-equity conversion on our interest income is generally not material as the loans being converted as part of restructuring are generally deemed to be uncollectible regardless any modification of terms. As for the impact on our asset classification, we generally apply the same asset classification standards to both non-restructured and restructured loans. As for restructured loans, we also consider additional factors such as the borrower’s adherence to its business plans and execution of the self-help measures, among others, to the extent applicable. In consideration of such criteria, we generally classify loans subject to workout as “precautionary”. For a general discussion of our loan classifications, see “— Supervision and Regulation — Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies — Capital Adequacy.”
Evaluation of Loan Modification Programs
We currently do not conduct a systematic or quantitative evaluation of the success of any particular concession by type, whether historically, relative to each other or relative to other financial institutions in Korea, although we do monitor on an individual basis the compliance by the borrower with the modified terms of the restructured loans. This is principally due to the following reasons.
One, in the case of large corporations subject to or about to be subject to restructuring, which represents the most significant restructuring cases in Korea, the restructuring process is generally not driven by us, but by a
creditors’ committee involving several large creditor financial institutions, and in the case of very large corporations or corporations that are members of large business conglomerates, the process frequently involves the guidance of the Government in light of the potential ripple effects of the restructuring on the general economy. Hence, it is difficult for us to collect data that would help us to evaluate the success of a particular concession based on the credit profile of the borrower and the type of concessions offered.
Two, the unavailability of systematic analysis notwithstanding, our general sense is that the restructuring cases in Korea have, to a large part, been successful as measured in terms of the ability of the borrowers to exit restructuring programs relatively quickly and further that the failed cases have not been particularly material. As a result, to date, we have not found it particularly necessary or helpful to expend the time and resources required to conduct a systematic analysis for purposes of evaluating the success of concessions by the type of a particular concession offered.
We do, however, measure the success of concessions in limited ways, that is, principally in terms of how well the borrower complies with the terms and conditions of the restructuring plan as agreed between the borrower and its creditor institutions. A restructuring plan typically includes a business plan and self-help measures to be undertaken by the borrower. We monitor the borrower’s compliance with the restructuring plan on a periodic basis (namely, annual, semiannual or quarterly in accordance with the terms of the restructuring plan) and evaluate the success thereof principally in terms of three attributes: (i) the progress in the execution of the business plan, (ii) the progress in the execution of the self-help measures and (iii) other qualitative factors such as major developments in the general economy, the regulatory environment, the competitive landscape, the quality of senior management and personnel, and transparency in management. We also closely monitor the cash inflows and outflows of the borrower, and the creditors’ committee typically has the right to participate in decision-making related to major spending and borrowings by the borrower.
Accrual Policy for Restructured Loans
For purposes of our accrual policy, we classify restructured loans principally into (i) loans subject to workout pursuant to the Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act and (ii) loans subject to court receivership or composition recovery proceedings
pursuant to the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act, which is the comprehensive bankruptcy-related law in Korea. See “— Credit Exposures to Companies in Workout Court Receivership or Composition.and Recovery Proceedings.” As for loans subject to workout, our general policy is to discontinue accruing interest on a loan when payment of principal and/or interest thereon becomes past due by 90 days or more, as described above in “— Nonaccrual Loans and Past Due Accruing Loans.” Interest is recognized on these loans on a cash basis (i.e., when collected) from the date such loan is reclassified as non-accruing, and such loans are not reclassified as accruing until the overdue principal and/or interest amounts are paid in full. This general policy also applies to loans subject to workout even if such loans are restructured loans. In the case of loans subject to court receivership or composition,recovery proceedings, we discontinue accruing interest immediately upon the borrowers becoming subject to court receivership or composition (notwithstanding the absence of delinquency ofrecovery proceedings (even if such loans)loans are not yet delinquent) in light of the heightened uncertainty regarding the borrower’s ability to repay, interest on such loans are recognized on a cash basis and such loans are not reclassified as accruing until the borrower exits court receivership or composition, as the case may be.recovery proceedings. Accordingly, under to our accrual policy, the number of payments made on a nonaccrual restructured loan is not a relevant factor in determining whether to reinstate such loan to the accrual status.
Determination of Performance of Restructured Loans
In determining whether a borrower has satisfactorily performed its obligations under the previousexisting loan terms, of the loan, we principally review the payment history of the borrower, namely whether the borrower has been delinquent by one day or more pursuant to our general interest accrual policy. In determining whether a borrower has shown the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, we primarily rely upon the assessment of our credit officers (or the creditors’ committee in the case of large corporate borrowers with significant outstanding loans) of the likelihood of the borrower’s ability to repay under the restructured terms, which assessment takes into account the size of the loans in question, the credit profile of the borrower, the original terms of the loans and other factors deemed relevant by the relevant credit officers. Depending on various factors such as the size of the loans in question and the credit profile of the borrower, we or the relevant creditors’ committee, as the case may
be, sometimes engage an outside advisory firm to perform further due diligence in order to supplement the aforementioned assessment. In certain cases, the borrowers also submit self-help proposals to facilitate obtaining the approval for restructuring, which measures are then also taken into consideration by our credit officers or the relevant creditors’ committees, as the case may be, in determining their future capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms.
Charge-off of Restructured Loans
As for loans that we consider to be collectible under modified terms (for example, by extending the due date for the payment of principal and/or interest or reducing the interest rate below the applicable interest rate to a rate below the prevailing market rate, or a combination of the foregoing), we generally restructure such loans under the modified terms and do not charge off any portion of such loans.
As for loans that we consider to be uncollectible regardless of any modification of terms, we negotiate with the borrower to have a portion of such loans converted into equity securities (usually common stock) of the borrower in consideration, among others, of (i) the degree to which such conversion will alleviate the debt burdens and liquidity concerns of the borrower, (ii) our potential upside from the gain in the value of the equity securities compared to the likelihood of collection if the loans were not converted into equity securities, and (iii) the borrower’s concerns regarding its shareholding structure subsequent to such conversion. We then charge off the remainder of the loans not so converted into equity securities. The value of the equity securities so converted areis recorded at fair value, based on the market value of such securities if available or the appraisal value of such securities by an outside appraiser if a market value is unavailable.
Since we generally do not accrue interest on loans subject to court receivership or compositionrecovery proceedings while we generally accrue interest on loans subject to workout unless past due by 90 days or more, charge-off is not a relevant factor we consider when determining the accrual status of a particular restructured loan.
We continue to accrue interest on restructured loans if we conclude that repayment of interest and principal contractually due on the entire debt is reasonably assured. Such conclusion is reached only after we have
carefully reviewed the borrower’s ability to repay based on thean assessment, among others, of various factors such as the size of the loans in question and the credit quality of the borrower by our credit officer or the relevant creditors’ committee as supplemented by the due diligence by outside advisory firms, as the case may be.
Potential Problem Loans
DuringIn 2012, in order to enable a more systematic and real-time monitoring of loans with a significant potential of non-repayment, we implemented anhave upgraded our “early warning system”. This system enables our management to determine potential problem loans to include all loans which have caused our management to have serious doubt as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with their respective loan repayment terms.
We classify potential problem loans as loans that are designeddesignated as “early warning loans” and reported to the Financial Services Commission. “EarlySupervisory Service. The “early warning loans” are extendeddesignation applies to borrowers that have been (i) identified by our early warning system as exhibiting signs of credit risk based on the relevant borrower’s financial data, credit information and/or transactions with banks and, following such identification and (ii) designated by our loan officers as potential problem loans on their evaluation of known information about such borrowers’ possible credit problems. Such loans are required to be reported on a quarterly basis to the Financial Services Commission.Supervisory Service. If a borrower’s loans are designated as “early warning loans” pursuant to the process described above and included in our quarterly report to the Financial Services Commission,Supervisory Service, we consider such borrowersthis to havebe an indication of serious doubt as to theirsuch borrower’s ability to comply with repayment terms in the near future. As of December 31, 2012,2014, we had ￦1,691W1,503 billion of potential problem loans.
Other Problematic Interest-Earning Assets
In the past, we received certain other interest-earning assets in connection with troubled debt restructuring that, if they were loans, would be required to be disclosed as part of the problem, past due or restructuring or potential problem loan disclosures provided above. However, as of December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, we had no such assets.
Provisioning Policy
We conduct periodic and systematic detailed reviews of our loan portfolios to identify credit risks and to establish the overall allowance for loan losses. Our management believes the allowance for loan losses reflects the best estimate of the probable loan losses incurred as of the date of each statement of financial position.
We first assess whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for loans and receivables that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If we determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, we include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that ana financial asset, such as a loan or receivable, has suffered impairment loss, on loans and receivables has been incurred, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flowsflow (excluding anticipated future credit losses that have not been incurred)losses) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).
If the interest rate offinancial asset in question is a loan or receivable iswith a floating rate, the discount rate used to evaluate impairment loss is the current effective interest rate defined in the loanrelevant transaction agreement. The present value of estimated future cash flows of secured financial assets is calculated by including cash flows from collateral after deducting costs to acquire and sell the collateral, regardless of the probability of realization of such collateral.
In assessing collective impairment, we rate and classify financial assets based on credit risk assessment or credit rating assessment process that takes into account asset type, industry, regional location, collateral type, delinquency and other relativerelevant factors.
Future cash flow of financial assets applicable to collective impairment assessment is estimated by using statistical modeling of historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, as adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the impairment losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical modeling. InWhen adjusting the future cash flow bybased on historical modeling, the result has to bewe ensure that such adjustments are in line with changes and trends of observable data. Methodologies and assumptions used to estimate future cash flow are evaluated on a regular basis in order to reduce any discrepancy between impairment loss estimation and actual loss. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results — Critical Accounting Policies — Impairment of Financial Assets — Allowance for Loan Losses”.Losses.”
Corporate Loans
We review corporate loans annually for potential impairment through a formal credit review. In addition, our loan officers consider the credits for impairment throughout the year if there is an indication that an impairment event has occurred.
Under IFRS, a loan is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and if the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset and can be estimated reliably. We consider, among others, the following loans to be impaired:
loans whose principal or interest amount is more than 90 days past due;
loans that by reason of non-performance becomes subject to write-off, charge-off, debt restructuring (including recovery proceedings and work-out)workout) or bankruptcy;
loans to customers whose credit record shows past instances of delinquency, enforcement of guarantee or subrogation; and
loans to customers who become finally insolvent by an order to suspend settlement of personal checks, corporate checks or promissory note.
Loan loss allowances for corporate loans are established based on whether a particular loan is impaired. Corporate loans with relatively small balances are evaluated collectively for impairment as they are managed collectively.
— Loans individually identified for review and considered impaired
Consistent with the internal credit risk monitoring policies, we evaluate impaired loans with relatively large balances (typically more than ￦3W3 billion) individually for impairment. Loan loss allowances for these loans are
generally established by discounting the estimated future cash flows (both principal and interest) we expect to receive using the loan’s effective interest rate. We consider the likelihood of all possible outcomes in determining our best estimate of expected future cash flows. Management consults closely with individual loan officers and reviews the cash flow assumptions used to ensure these estimates are valid.
We establish allowances for impaired corporate loans when the discounted cash flow of the loan is lower than its carrying amount. The allowance is equal to the difference between the discounted cash flow amount of the loan and its carrying amount.
We may also measure impairment by reference to the loan’s observable market price; however this information is not commonly available in Korea.
— Loans collectively evaluated for impairment
We also establish allowances for impaired corporate loans with relatively small balances (typically ￦3W3 billion or less). We manage these loans on a portfolio basis and therefore collectively evaluate them for impairment since it is impractical to analyze each such loan on an individual basis. The allowance for such loans is determined based on loss factors taking into consideration past performance of the portfolio, previous loan loss history and charge-off information.
In 2010, when we reported our financial results using U.S. GAAP, we identifiedWe identify loss factors through a migration model, which uses a statistical tool to monitor the progression of loans through different classifications and historical losses over a one year look-back period. Beginning in 2011, under IFRS, we use a statistical tool with longer look-back periods based on the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model.model using a statistical tool with look-back periods longer than a year. For impaired corporate loans whose amounts are relatively small, we use the collective DCF model. Under the collective DCF model, under which cash flow projections for the relevant loans are not individually computed for each borrower, but are collectively computed for a group of loans sharing similar characteristics (for example, retail versus corporate, secured versus unsecured, and so forth), except that, when we discount the projected cash flow at the present value, we apply the interest rate effective prior to impairment specific to each borrower.
— Loans not specifically identified as impaired
We establish allowances collectively for non-impaired corporate loans to reflect losses incurred within the portfolio which have not yet been specifically identified as impaired. Under U.S. GAAP in 2010, the historical loss rate on migration analysis was calculated from a transition matrix table based on asset quality classification and took into consideration historical loss rates and recovery rates after charge-off. Under IFRS beginning in 2011,We use the probability of default / loss-given default method, (sophisticated approach), also known as the Advanced Internal Rating-Based approach under Basel II, is calculated viato calculate the historical loss rate on migration analysis based on measurable long-term risk factors such as probability of default from risk grading and loss given default based on the Basel II framework.
As for the probability of default-based loan grouping, corporate loans are grouped into different risk classes based on the credit rating assigned by the relevant credit evaluation model, and retail loans are grouped into different risk classes based on the type of the loan, maturity structure and the duration of delinquency.
As for the loss given default-based loan grouping, secured loans are grouped into different risk classes based on the type of collateral, the location of the collateral and the loan-to-value ratio to which they are subject, and unsecured loans are grouped into different risk classes based on the type of the loan.
Retail Loans
We consider the following retail loans to be impaired for an individual assessment of impairment:
loans whose principal or interest amount is more than 90 days past due;
loans that by reason of non-performance becomes subject to write-off, charge-off, debt restructuring (including recovery proceedings and work-out)workout) or bankruptcy;
loans to customers whose credit record shows past instances of delinquency, enforcement of guarantee or subrogation; and
loans to customers who become finally insolvent by an order to suspend settlement of personal checks, corporate checks or promissory note.
The provisioning policy for retail loans is similar to that for corporate loans, except that different groupings are used for retail loans for purposes of determining probability of default and loss-given default in that all retail loans, regardless of their size, are collectively (rather than individually) assessed due to difficulties in obtaining personal information, such as personal income and assets.
For loan losses for retail loans, we also establish allowances based on loss factors taking into consideration the historical performance of the portfolio, previous loan loss history and charge-off information over a nine-year look-back period for loans secured by real estate and a four-year look-back period for unsecured loans and other secured loans.
We further adjust the loss factors based on factors that may impact loss recognition which have not been adequately captured by our historical analysis. These factors include:
changes in economic and business conditions such as levels of unemployment and housing price;
changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, including any concentration of credits; and
external factors such as regulatory or government requirements.
Credit Cards
We establish an allowance for the credit card portfolio using a roll-rate model. A roll-rate model is a statistical tool used to monitor the progression of loans based on aging of the balance and established loss rates. The actual loss rates derived from this model are used to project the percentage of losses within each aging category based on performance over a five-year look-back period.
The expected percentage of loss reflects estimates of both the default probability within each loan aging category and severitythe magnitude of loss. Generally, loans that are six months or more past due are charged off. We adjustconsider adjusting our loan loss rate for severitythe magnitude of loss when consideringafter accounting for the historical recovery of charged off credits when establishing the allowance.
We segment our credit card portfolio into several product types and perform separate roll-rate analysis for such product types to reflect the different risks and characteristics of each such product type.
We further adjustconsider adjusting the results from the roll-rate analysis based on factors that may impact loss recognition which have not been adequately captured by our historical analysis. These factors include:
delinquency levels of cardholders;
government policies toward the credit card industry; and
key retail performance indicators (such as ratios of household debt to disposable income and household liabilities to financial assets).
The actual amount of incurred loan losses may vary from the estimate of incurred losses due to changes in economic conditions or industry or geographic concentrations. We also monitor differences between estimated and actual incurred loan losses through procedures including detailed periodic assessments by senior management of both individual loans and credit portfolios and the models used to estimate incurred loan losses in those portfolios.
We determine whether credit card loans are impaired using criteria similar to those used for corporate loans, except that whenupon the closure of business by merchants using our credit card services, have closed or shut down, the related credit card loans are deemed impaired.
We consider a credit card or card loan to be delinquent if payment on such account is not received when first due and the amount outstanding is greater than ￦10,000.W10,000. Our general policy is to be proactive in its collection procedures. We believe that card accounts which are in early stages of delinquency are easier to collect than those accounts which have been delinquent for a longer period of time and, therefore, we emphasize
collections at an early stage of delinquency although we increase the level of collection efforts as the delinquency period increases with respect to the relevant account. Efforts to collect from cardholders whose account balances are up to 30 days past due are generally made by our credit support centers at Shinhan Card. Our credit support centers classify delinquent customers based upon three criteria: the expected level of difficulty in collection, the nature of the customer and the customer’s contribution to Shinhan Card’s profitability. By implementing collection activities tailored to each such category of customers, we seek to maximize efficiency in our collection efforts.
For card accounts with balances that are more than 30 days past due, we generally assign collection to our collection branches. During the first two months of their appointment, these collection branches rely on postal or telephone notice and take measures to locate and provisionally attach accounts receivables or other properties of the delinquent cardholders. After the initial two months period, the collection branches commence compulsory execution procedures against the delinquent cardholders’ accounts receivables or other properties to secure the amount of outstanding balances. During the entire period managed by branches, we offer restructured card loan and reduction programs. For card accounts that are charged off, we outsource collection to external collection centers such as Shinhan Credit Information, which is our subsidiary, and Mirae Credit Information Services Corp.

Non-Performing Loan Strategy
One of our primary objectives is to prevent our loans from becoming non-performing. Through our corporate credit rating system, which is designed to prevent our loan officers from extending new loans to borrowers with high credit risks based on the borrower’s credit rating, we seek to reduce credit risk related to future non-performing loans. Our early warning system is designed to bring any sudden increase in a borrower’s credit risk to the attention of our loan officers, who then closely monitor such loans.
If a loan becomes non-performing notwithstanding such preventive mechanism, an officer at the branch level responsible for monitoring non-performing loans will commence due diligence on the borrower’s assets, send a notice demanding payment or a notice that we will take or prepare for legal action.
At the same time, we also initiate our non-performing loan management process, which includes:
identifying loans subject to a proposed sale by assessing the estimated losses from such sale based on the estimated recovery value of collateral, if any, for such non-performing loans;
identifying loans subject to charge-off based on the estimated recovery value of collateral, if any, for such non-performing loans and the estimated rate of recovery of unsecured loans; and
to a limited extent, identifying commercial loans subject to normalization efforts based on the cash-flow situation of the borrower.
Once the details of a non-performing loan are identified, we pursue early solutions for recovery. Actual recovery efforts for non-performing loans are handled by the relevant department, depending on the nature of such loans and the borrower, among others. The officers or agents of the responsible departments and units use a variety of methods to resolve non-performing loans, including:
making phone calls and paying visits to the borrower to request payment;
continuing to assess and evaluate assets of our borrowers; and
if necessary, initiating legal action such as foreclosures, attachment and litigation.
In order to promote speedy recovery on loans subject to foreclosures and litigation, the branch responsible for handling these loans may transfer them to the relevant unit at headquarters.
Our policy is to commence legal action within one month after default on promissory notes and four months after delinquency of payment on other types of loans. For loans to insolvent or bankrupt borrowers or when we conclude that it is not possible to recover through normal procedures, we take prompt legal actions regardless of the grace period.
In addition to making efforts to collect on these non-performing loans, we take other measures to reduce the level of our non-performing loans, including:
selling non-performing loans to third parties including the Korea Asset Management Corporation;
entering into asset-backed securitization transactions with respect to non-performing loans;
managing retail loans that are three months or more past due through Shinhan Credit Information under an agency agreement; and
using third-party collection agencies including credit information companies such as Solomon Credit Information.
In 2012,2014, we sold non-performing loans in the amount of ￦106W27 billion to third parties and transferred ￦195W13 billion to the United PF 1st Recovery Private Equity Fund.Baro Investment and Securities. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors — Other Risks Relating to Us — The Korean government may encourage targeted lending to and investment in certain sectors in furtherance of policy initiatives, and we may take this factor into account.” These loans met the criteria of true sale and were derecognized accordingly.

Our total allowance for loan losses increased byW25 billion, or 1.01%, toW2,501 billion as of December 31, 2014 fromW2,476 billion as of December 31, 2013, primarily as the result of an increase in the volumes of the credit card purchase and credit card loans and an increase in the loss rate of credit card loans mainly due to deterioration of the asset quality for such loans.
Our total allowance for loan losses decreased byW324 billion, or 11.57%, toW2,476 billion as of December 31, 2013 fromW2,800 billion as of December 31, 2012. During 2013, the allowance for loan losses decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in the loss rate for other retail loans due to a decrease in overall delinquency of retail loans following an increase in loans with sound quality.

Loan Charge-offs
Our gross charge-offs increased fromW1,484 billion in 2012 toW1,735 billion in 2013, primarily due to an increase in charge-off of impaired retail loans as part of our efforts to enhance the overall quality of our assets. Our gross charge-offs decreased from ￦1,859W1,735 billion in 20102013 to ￦1,503W1,187 billion in 2011 and ￦1,486 billion in 20122014, primarily due to a decrease in charge-off for retail loans and credit cardof corporate loans as a result of a slowdown in the deterioration in the asset quality for corporate loans in 20112014 as compared to 20102013, which was primarily due to a decrease in impaired assets following a substantial charge-off of impaired loans to shipbuilding and 2012 as compared to 2011.construction companies in 2013.
In 2012,2014, the charge-off on restructured loans amounted to ￦179W55 billion, of which ￦109W32 billion was related to loans converted into equity securities as part of restructuring. With respect to a loan that we consider to be uncollectible regardless of any modification of terms, we convert a portion of such loan into equity securities following negotiation with the borrower and charge off the remainder of such loan as previously discussed in “— Troubled Debt Restructurings — Charge-off of Loans Subject to Restructuring.” The equity securities so
converted are recorded at fair value, based on the market value of such securities if available or the appraisal value of such securities by an outside appraiser if a market value is unavailable.
Basic Principles
We attempt to minimize loans to be charged off by practicing a sound credit approval process based on credit risk analysis prior to extending loans and a systematic management of outstanding loans. For charge-off of restructured loans, see “— Loan Modification Programs for Loans under Restructuring — Charge-off of Restructured Loans” above.
Loans to be Charged-off
Loans are charged off if they are deemed to be uncollectible by falling under any of the following categories:
loans for which collection is not foreseeable due to insolvency or bankruptcy, dissolution or the termination of the debtor’s business;
loans for which collection is not foreseeable due to the death or disappearance of debtors;
loans for which collection expenses exceed the collectable amount;
loans for which collection is not possible through legal or any other means;
payments in arrears in respect of credit cards that are overdue for more than six months;
payments outstanding on unsecured retail loans that are overdue for more than six months;
payments in arrears in respect of leases that are overdue for more than 12 months; or
the portion of loans classified as “estimated loss,” net of any recovery from collateral, which is deemed to be uncollectible.
Procedure for Charge-off Approval
An application for Shinhan Bank’s loans to be charged off is submitted by the relevant branch to the Corporate Credit Collection Department in the case of corporate loans and foreign branches, and the Consumer Credit Collection Department in the case of retail loans. An application for charge-off is generally submitted immediately after the relevant loan becomes 180 days past due. The General Manager in charge of review evaluates the application. The General Manager of Audit and Examination Department conducts review of compliance with our internal procedures for charge-offs, and if the review is satisfactory, requests approval from the President of Shinhan Bank. As for Shinhan Card, it generally charges off receivables that are 180 days past due following internal review.
Treatment of Loans Charged-off
Once loans are charged off, they are derecognized from our statements of financial position. We continue collection efforts in respect of these loans through third-party collection agencies, including the Korea Asset Management Corporation, and Shinhan Credit Information.Information, which is our subsidiary.
Treatment of Collateral
When we determine that a loan collateralized by real estate cannot be recovered through normal collection channels, we generally petition a court to foreclose and sell the collateral through a court-supervised auction within one month after default and insolvency and within four months after delinquency. However, this procedure does not apply to companies under restructuring, composition,recovery proceedings, workout or other court
proceedings where there are restrictions on such auction procedures. Filing of such petition with the court generally encourages the debtor to repay the overdue loan. If a debtor ultimately fails to repay and the court grants its approval for foreclosure, we sell the collateral and recover the principal amount and interest accrued up to the sales price, net of expenses incurred from the auction. Foreclosure proceedings in under the laws and regulations inof Korea typically take seven months to one year from initiation to collection depending on the nature of the collateral.
Financial Statement Presentation
Our financial statements includereport as charges-offs all unsecured retail loans, including credit cards, which are overdue for more than six months. Leases are charged off when past due for more than twelve months. For collateral dependent loans, we charge off the excess of the book value of the subject loan over the amount received or to be received from the sale of the underlying collateral when the collateral is sold as part of a foreclosure proceeding and its sale price becomes known through court publication as part of such proceeding.

Credit-Related Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of our operations, we make various commitments and guarantees to meet the financing and other business needs of our customers. Commitments and guarantees are usually in the form of, among others, commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit and performance guarantees. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible loss amount if the account party draws down the commitment or we should fulfill our obligation under the guarantee and the account party fails to perform under the contract.
The following table sets forth our credit-related commitments and guarantees as of the dates indicated.

We have credit-related commitments that are not reflected on our statements of financial position, which primarily consist of commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit, including credit lines, represent unfunded portions of authorizations to extend credit in the form of loans. These commitments expire on fixed dates and a customer is required to comply with predetermined conditions to draw funds under the commitments. Commercial letters of credit are undertakings on behalf of customers authorizing third parties to draw drafts on usmake drawdowns up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions. They are generally short-term and collateralized by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore have less risk.relate.
We also have guarantees that are recorded on our statements of financial position at their fair value at inception which are amortized over the life of the guarantees. Such guarantees generally include standby letters of credit, other financial and performance guarantees and liquidity facilities to special purpose entities. Standby letters of credit are irrevocable obligations to pay third-party beneficiaries when our customers fail to repay loans or debt instruments, which are generally in foreign currencies. A substantial portion of these standby letters of
credit are secured by collateral, including trade-related documents. Other financial and performance guarantees are irrevocable assurances that we will pay beneficiaries if our customers fail to perform their obligations under certain contracts. Liquidity facilities to special purpose entities are irrevocable commitments to provide contingent liquidity credit lines to special purpose entities established by our customers in the event that a triggering event such as shortage of cash occurs.
The commitments and guarantees do not necessarily represent our exposure since they often expire unused.
Derivatives
As discussed under “— Business Overview — Our Principal Activities — Corporate and Investment Banking Services — Derivatives Trading” above, we engage in derivatives trading activities primarily on behalf of our customers so that they may hedge their risks and also enter into back-to-back derivatives with other financial institutions to cover exposures arising from such transactions. In addition, we enter into derivatives transactions to hedge against risk exposures arising from our own assets and liabilities, some of which are nontrading derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
The following shows, as of December 31, 2012,2014, the gross notional or contractual amounts of derivatives held or issued for (i) trading and (ii) nontrading that qualify for hedge accounting.

Risk Management
Overview
As a financial services provider, we are exposed to various risks relating to our lending, credit card, insurance, securities investment, trading and leasing businesses, our deposit taking and borrowing activities and our operating environment. The principal risks to which we are exposed are credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. These risks are recognized, measured and reported in accordance with risk management guidelines established at our holding company level and implemented at the subsidiary level through a carefully stratified checks-and-balances system.
We believe that our risk management system has been instrumental to building our reputation as a well-managed and prudent financial service provider and withstanding various external shocks. In particular, during the global financial crisis of 2008-2009,2008 and 2009, we believe our risk management provided effective early warning signals which helped us to proactively reconfigure our asset portfolio and substantially reduce our exposure to troubled debtors and thereby avoid what could have been a substantially greater credit loss during such crisis, and we are carefully upgrading and refining our risk management system in the face of ongoingcurrent and potential economic difficulties in Europeat global, regional and elsewhere.domestic levels.
In particular, our group-wide risk management is guided by the following core principles:
carrying out all business activities within the prescribed risk tolerance levels and prudently balancing profitability and risk management;
|
operating a prudent risk management decision making system withbacked by active participation by management;
creating and operating a risk management organization independent of business activities;
operating a performance management system that enhances clear and prompt identification of risks when making business decisions;
aiming to achieve preemptive and practical risk management; and
prudent preparation for known and unknown contingencies.
We take the following steps to implement the foregoing risk management principles:
| • | risk capital management — Risk capital refers to capital necessary to compensate for losses in case of a potential risk being realized, and risk capital management refers to the process of asset management based on considerations of risk exposure and risk appetite |
| • | risk monitoring — We |
| • | risk review — Prior to entering any new business, offering any new products or changing any major policies, we review any relevant risk factors based on a prescribed risk management checklist and, in the |
case of changes for which assessment of risk factors is difficult, |
| • | crisis management — We maintain a group-wide risk management system to detect the early warnings signals of any crisis and, in the event of a crisis actually happening, to respond on a timely, efficient and flexible basis so as to ensure our survival as a going concern. Each of our subsidiaries maintains crisis planning for three levels of contingencies, namely, “alert”, “imminent crisis” and “crisis”, determination of which is made based on quantitative and qualitative monitoring and consequence analysis, and upon the occurrence of any such contingency, is required to respond according to a prescribed contingency plan. At the holding company level, we maintain and install a crisis detection and response system which is applied consistently group-wide, and upon the occurrence of an “imminent crisis” or “crisis” event at a subsidiary level, we directly take charge of the situation at the holding company level so that we manage it on a concerted group-wide basis. |
Organization
Our risk management system is organized along the following hierarchy: from thehierarchy (from top andto bottom): at the holding company level, the Group Risk Management Committee, the Group Risk Management Council, the Group Chief Risk Officer and the Group Risk Management Team, and at the subsidiary level, the Risk Management Committees,Committee, the Chief Risk Officer and the Risk Management Team of the relevant subsidiary. The Group Risk Management Committee, which is under the supervision of our holding company’s board of directors, sets the basic group-wide risk management policies and strategies. Our Group Chief Risk Officer reports to the Group Risk Management Committee, and the Group Risk Management Council coordinates the risk management policies and strategies at the group level as well as at the subsidiary level among each of our subsidiaries. Each of our subsidiaries also has a separate Risk Management Committee, Risk Management Working Committee and Risk Management Team, whose tasks are to implement the group-wide risk management policies and strategies at the subsidiary level as well as to set risk management policies and strategies specific to such subsidiary in line with the group-wide guidelines. We also have the Group Risk Management Team, which supports our Chief Risk Officer in his or her risk management and supervisory role.
In order to maintain the group-wide risk at an appropriate level, we use a hierarchical risk limit system under which the Group Risk Management Committee assigns reasonable risk limits for the entire group and each of our subsidiaries, and the Risk Management Committee and the Risk Management Working Committee of each of our subsidiaries manage the subsidiary-specific risks by establishing and managing risk limits in more detail by type of risk and type of product for each department and division within such subsidiary. Further details follow.

Credit Risk Management
Credit risk, which is the risk of loss from default by an obligorborrowers, other obligors or counter-party,other counterparties to the transactions that we have entered into, is our greatest risk. Our credit risk management encompasses all areas of credit that may result in potential economic loss, including not just transactions that are recorded on our balance sheets, but also off-balance-sheet transactions such as guarantees, loan commitments and derivatives transactions. A substantial majority of our credit risk relates to the operations of Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Card.
Credit Risk Management of Shinhan Bank
Shinhan Bank’s credit risk management is guided by the following principles:
achieve a profit level corresponding to the level of risks involved;
improve asset quality and achieve an optimal industrial and rating loanmix of asset portfolios;
avoid excessive loan concentration in a particular borrower or sector;
focus onclosely monitor the borrower’s ability to repay the debt; and
provide financial support to advance the growth of select customers.
Major policies for Shinhan Bank’s credit risk management, including Shinhan Bank’s overall credit risk management plan and credit policy guidelines, are determined by the CreditRisk Policy Committee of Shinhan Bank, the executive decision-making body for management of credit risk. The CreditRisk Policy Committee is headed by the Chief Risk Officer, and also comprises of the Chief Credit Officer and the heads of each business unit and the head of the Credit Risk Department.business. In order to separate the loan approval functions from credit policy decision-making, Shinhan Bank has a Credit Review Committee that performs credit review evaluations whichwith a focus on improving the asset quality of and profitability from the loans being made, and operates separately from the CreditRisk Policy Committee. Both the CreditRisk Policy Committee and the Credit Review Committee make decisions by a vote of two-thirds or more of the attending members of the respective committees, which must constitute at least two-thirds of the respective committee members to satisfy the respective quorum.
Shinhan Bank complies with credit risk management procedures pursuant to internal guidelines and regulations and continually monitors and improves these guidelines and regulations. Its credit risk management procedures include:
credit evaluation and approval;
credit review and monitoring; and
credit risk assessment and control.
Credit Evaluation and Approval
All loan applicants and guarantors are subject to credit review evaluation before approval of any loans. Credit evaluation of loan applicants are carried out separately by the Credit Officer, Chief Credit Officer and (senior) credit officer committees consistingrelevant lending approval authority of loan evaluation specialists from different subject areas.Shinhan Bank. Loan evaluation is carried out by a group rather than atby an individual levelreviewer through an objective and deliberative process. Credit ratings of loan applicants and guarantors influence loan interest rates, approval authority, credit exposure limits, calculation of potential losses and estimated cost of capital, and therefore are determined objectively and independently by the relevant business unit. Shinhan Bank uses a credit scoring system for retail loans and a credit-risk rating system for corporate loans.
Each of Shinhan Bank’s borrowers is assigned a credit rating, which is based on a comprehensive internal credit evaluation system that considers a variety of criteria. For retail borrowers, the credit rating takes into account the borrower’s biographic details, past dealings with Shinhan Bank and external credit rating information, among others.other things. For corporate borrowers, the credit rating takes into account financial indicators
as well as non-financial indicators such as industry risk, operational risk and management risk, among others.other things. The credit rating, once assigned, serves as the fundamental instrument infor Shinhan Bank’s credit risk management, and is applied into a wide range of credit risk management processes, including credit approval, credit limit management, loan pricing and computation of allowance for loan losses. Shinhan Bank has separate credit evaluation systems for retail customers, SOHO customers and corporate customers, which are further segmented and refined to meet Basel II requirements.requirements, which requirements have not changed under Basel III. See “Item 5.A. Operating Results — Critical Accounting Policies — Impairment of Financial Assets — Allowance for Loan Losses”.Losses.”
Retail Loans
Loan applications for retail loans are reviewed in accordance with Shinhan Bank’s credit scoring system and the objective statistics models for secured and unsecured loans maintained and operated by Shinhan Bank’s Retail Banking Division. Shinhan Bank’s credit scoring system is an automated credit approval system used to
evaluate loan applications and determine the appropriate pricing for the loan, and takes into account factors such as a borrower’s personal information, transaction history with Shinhan Bank and other financial institutions and other relevant credit information. The applicant is assigned a score, which is used to determine (i) whether to approve the applicant’s loan, (ii) the amount of loan to be granted, and (iii) the interest rates thereon. The applicant’s score also determines whether the applicant is approved for credit, conditionally approved, subject to further assessment, or denied. If the applicant becomes subject to further assessment, the appropriate discretionary body, either at the branch level or at the headquarter level, makes a reassessment based on qualitative as well as quantitative factors, such as credit history, occupation and past relationship with Shinhan Bank.
For mortgage and home equity loans and loans secured by real estate, Shinhan Bank evaluates the value of the real estate offered as collateral using a proprietary database, which contains information about real estate values throughout Korea. In addition, Shinhan Bank uses up-to-date information provided by third parties regarding the real estate market and property values in Korea. While Shinhan Bank uses internal staff from the processing centers to appraise the value of the real estate collateral, Shinhan Bank also hires certified appraisers to review and co-sign the appraisal value of real estate collateral that have an appraisal value exceeding ￦5W5 billion, as initially determined by the processing centers. Shinhan Bank also reevaluates internally, on a summary basis, the appraisal value of collateral at least every year.
For loans secured by securities, deposits or other assets other than real estate, Shinhan Bank requires borrowers to observe specified collateral ratios in respect of secured obligations.
Corporate Loans
Shinhan Bank rates all of its corporate borrowers using internally developed credit evaluation systems. These systems consider a variety of criteria (quantitative, qualitative, financial and non-financial) in order to standardize credit decisions and focus on the quality of borrowers rather than the size of loans. The quantitative considerations include the borrower’s financial and other data, while the qualitative considerations are based on the judgment of Shinhan Bank’s credit officers as to the borrower’s ability to repay. Financial considerations include financial variables and ratios based on customer’s financial statements, such as return on assets and cash flow to total debt ratios, and non-financial considerations include, among others,other things, the industry to which the borrower’s businesses belong, the borrower’s competitive position in its industry, its operating and funding capabilities, the quality of its management and controlling stockholders (based in part on interviews with its officers and employees), technological capabilities and labor relations.
In addition, in order to enhance the accuracy of its internal credit reviews, Shinhan Bank also considers reports prepared by external credit rating services, such as Nice Information Service and Korea Enterprise Data, and monitors and improves the effectiveness of the credit risk-rating systems using a database that it updates continually with actual default records.
Based on the scores calculated under the credit rating system, which takes into account the evaluation criteria described above and the probability of default, Shinhan Bank assigns the borrower one of 20 grades (from the highest of AAA to the lowest of D). Grades AA through B are further broken down into “+”,” “0” or “-.“-”. Grades AAA through B- are classified as normal, grade CCC precautionary, and grades CC through D non-performing. The credit risk-rating model is further differentiated by the size of the corporate borrower and the type of credit facilities.
Loan Approval Process
Loans are generally approved after evaluations and approvals by the relationship manager at the branch level as well as the committee of the applicable business unit at Shinhan Bank. The approval limit for retail loans is made based on Shinhan Bank’s automated credit scoring system. In the case of large corporate loans, approval limits are also reviewed and approved by a Credit Officer at the headquarter level. Depending on the size and the importance of the loan, the approval process is further reviewed by the Credit Officer Committee or the ChiefMaster Credit Officer Committee. If the loan is considered significant or the amount exceeds the discretion limit of the ChiefMaster Credit Officer Committee, further evaluation is made by the Credit Review Committee, which is Shinhan Bank’s highest decision-making body in relation to credit approval. The Credit Review Committee’s evaluation
and approval of loan limits vary depending on the credit ratings of the borrowers as determined by Shinhan Bank’s internal credit rating system. For example, for borrowers with a credit rating of B-, the Credit Review Committee evaluates and approves unsecured loans in excess of ￦10W10 billion and secured loans in excess of ￦15W15 billion, whereas for borrowers with a credit rating of AAA, the Credit Review Committee evaluates and approves unsecured loans in excess of ￦40W40 billion and secured loans in excess of ￦90W90 billion. MeetingsThe Credit Review Committee holds at least two meetings a week to approve applications for large-sized loans whose principal amounts exceed prescribed levels set by the Credit Review Committee are held twice a week.it.
The chart below summarizes the credit approval process of our banking operation. The Chief Credit Officer and the Head of Business Division do not make individual decisions on loan approval, but are part of the decision-making process at the group level.
The reviewer at each level of the review process may in its discretion approve loans up to a maximum amount per loan assigned to such level. The discretionary loan approval limit for each level of the loan approval process takes into account the total amount of loans extended to the borrower, the credit level of the applicant based on credit review, the existence and value of collateral and the level of credit risk established by the credit rating system. The discretionary loan amount approval limit ranges from ￦30W30 million for unsecured retail loans with a credit rating of B-, which are subject to approvals by the retail branch manager, to ￦90W90 billion for secured loans with a credit rating of AAA, which are subject to approvals by the ChiefMaster Credit Officer Committee. Any loans exceeding the maximum discretionary loan amount approval limit must be approved by the Credit Review Committee.
Credit Review and Monitoring
Shinhan Bank continually reviews and monitors existing credit risks primarily with respect to borrowers. In particular, Shinhan Bank’s automated early warning system conducts daily examination for borrowers using over 174192 financial and non-financial factors, and the relationship manager and the credit officer must conduct periodic loan review and report to an independent loan review team which analyzes in detail the results and adjusts credit ratingratings accordingly. Based on these reviews, Shinhan Bank adjusts a borrower’s credit rating, credit limit, applied interest rates and credit policies. In addition, the group credit rating of the borrower’s group, if applicable, may be adjusted following a periodic review of the main debtor groups, mostly comprised ofchaebols, as identified by the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service based on their outstanding credit exposures, of which 3454 were identified as such as of December 31, 2012.2014. Shinhan Bank also continually reviews other factors, such as industry-specific conditions for the borrower’s business and its domestic and overseas asset base and operations, in order to ensure that the assigned ratings are appropriate. The Credit Review Department provides credit review reports, independent of underwriting, to the Chief Risk Officer on a monthly basis.
The early warning system performs automatic daily checks automatically for borrowers to whom Shinhan Bank has more than ￦2W1 billion of total exposure orW500 million of credit exposure. TheWhen the early warning system detects a warning signal, the results of such monitoring are reviewed by the Credit Review Department in the case of a borrower to whom Shinhan Bank has more thanW2 billion of exposure, and the relationship manager and the Credit Officer monitor those borrowers, and thenin the Credit Review Department further reviews the resultscase of such monitoring.a borrower to whom Shinhan Bank hasW2 billion or less of exposure. In addition, Shinhan Bank
carries out a planned review of each borrower in accordance with changing credit risk factors based on the changing economic environment. The results of such planned review are continually reported to the Chief Risk Officer of Shinhan Bank.
The early warning system performs automatic daily checks for borrowers to whom Shinhan Bank has more thanW1 billion of total exposure (which represents the total outstanding amount due from a borrower, net of collateral for deposit, installment savings, guarantees and import guarantee money) orW500 million of net credit exposure (which represents total exposure net of effective collateral). When the early warning systems detects a warning signal, such signal and other findings from the monitoring are reviewed by the Credit Review Department in the case of a borrower to whom Shinhan Bank has more thanW2 billion of exposure, and by the relationship manager and the Credit Officer in the case of a borrower to whom Shinhan Bank has less thanW2 billion of exposure. In addition, Shinhan Bank carries out a preemptive review of each borrower in accordance with changes in credit risk factors based on changes in the economic environment. The results of such preemptive review are continually reported to the Chief Risk Officer of Shinhan Bank.
Depending on the nature of the itemssignals detected by the early warning system, a borrower may be classified as a “deteriorating credit” and become subject to evaluation for a possible downgrade in rating, or may be initially classified as a “borrower showing“showing early warning signs” or become reinstated to the “normal borrower” status. For borrowers classified as “showing early warning signs,”signs”, the relevant relationship manager gathers information and conducts a review of the borrower to determine whether itthe borrower should be classified as a deteriorating credit or whether to impose management improvement warnings or implement joint creditors’ management. If the borrower becomes non-performing, Shinhan Bank’s collection department directly manages such borrower’s account in order to maximize recovery rate, and conducts auctions, court proceedings, sale of assets or corporate restructuring as needed.
Pursuant to the foregoing credit review and monitoring procedures and in order to promptly prevent deterioration of loan qualities, Shinhan Bank classifies potentially problematic borrowers into (i) borrowers that show early warning signals, (ii) borrowers that require precaution, (iii) borrowers that require observation and (iv) normal borrowers, and treats them differentially accordingly.
In order to curtail delinquency among corporate customers, Shinhan Bank has takentakes primarily the following measures: (i) adoptionsystematic monitoring of a systematic approach in monitoring borrowers with sizable outstanding loans, (ii) heightened monitoring of
borrowers with bad credit history and/or belonging to troubled industries and (iii) assignment of industry-specific lending caps, as adjusted for whether specific industries are particularly sensitive to general business cycles and/or are troubled at a given time.
Systematic monitoring of borrowers with sizable outstanding loans. Shinhan Bank currently applies a heightened monitoring system to corporate borrowers with outstanding loans (other than guaranteed loans and loans secured by specified types of collaterals such as deposits with us or letters of credit) in the aggregate amount of ￦1W1 billion or more and borrowers with net outstanding loans (i.e., the outstanding loan amount minus the fair value of collaterals (other than as aforesaid) securing such loans) in the aggregate amount of ￦0.5 billionW500 million or more. Under this monitoring system, each such borrower is assigned one of the following ratings:
“Normal borrower” — a borrower with a credit rating of B- or above that are deemed to carry a low risk of default;
“Borrower that requires observation” — a borrower that carries some risk of potential default and therefore requires periodic monitoring to detect any elevation of such risk;
“Borrower that requires precaution” — a borrower with an elevated risk of default and therefore requires detailed reassessment of the credit quality of such borrower and precaution in extending any further loans;
“Borrower with early warning signs” — a borrower with a high level of default risk; and
“Problematic or reorganized borrower” — a borrower currently in default and either subject to workout or restructuring or showing no signs of recovery.
A periodicShinhan Bank conducts systematic monitoring of the foregoing borrowers is carried out at intervals depending on the borrower’s credit rating (for example, every 12 months for “normal” borrowers with a credit rating of AAA to A-,A, every nine months for “normal” borrowers with a credit rating of BBB+A- to BBB-BBB+, every six months for a credit rating of BB+BBB to B- and every three months for borrowers with a credit rating of CCC or below and borrowers not deemed to be “normal”). In addition, the loan reviewer may request more frequent monitoring if the borrower is showing signs of deteriorating credit quality. For borrowers with outstanding loan amounts of ￦2W2 billion or more, Shinhan Bank also monitors the revenues and earnings of such borrower on a quarterly basis within 10 weeks following the end of the quarter ends.each quarter.
Heightened monitoring of borrowers with bad credit history and/or belonging to troubled industries. In addition to the systematic monitoring discussed above, Shinhan Bank also carries out additional monitoring for borrowers that, among others, (i) are rated as “requiring observation” or, “requiring precaution” or “with early warning signs” as noted above, (ii) have prior history of delinquency or restructuring or (iii) have borrowings that are classified as substandard or below. Based on the heightened monitoring of these borrowers, Shinhan
Bank adjusts contingency planning as to how the overall asset quality of a specific industry should change for each phase of the business cycle, how itShinhan Bank should limit or reduce its exposure to such borrowers, and how our group-wide delinquency and nonperformingnon-performing ratio would change, among others.other things.
Assignment of industry-specific lending caps. Shinhan Bank currently classifies loans to corporate borrowers by industry, and capcaps the aggregate amount of loans to each industry, which amount varies depending on the respective industry forecasts and industry-specific loan default rates, among other factors. By doing so, Shinhan Bank seeks to avoid concentration of loans in risky industries and subject loans to risky industries to heightened monitoring and risk management.
Shinhan Bank further sub-classifies risky industries into two categories: “industries that are generally highly sensitive to economic cycles” and “troubled industries”. Currently,currently places the following industries belong towith relatively high risk profiles on the former category:“intensive management” watch list for heightened monitoring and management: real estate supply, leasing and service; retailrestaurants; lodging; construction; shipbuilding; shipping; non-metallic minerals and wholesale; construction; and hotel and leisure.golf operation. For each of these industries, Shinhan Bank enforces a conservative cap on the aggregate amount of loans to each such industry,
and the business units responsible for exceeding such limits are penalized in their performance evaluations, which would have a negative impact on the pay and promotion of the employees belonging to such units.
Credit Risk Assessment and Control
In order to assess credit risk in a systematic manner, Shinhan Bank has developed and upgraded systems designed to quantify credit risk based on selection and monitoring of various statistics, including delinquency rate, non-performing loan ratio, expected loan loss and weighted average risk rating.
Shinhan Bank controls loan concentration by monitoring and managing loans at two levels: portfolio level and individual loan account level. In order to maintain portfolio-level credit risk at an appropriate level, Shinhan Bank manages its loans using value-at-risk (“VaR”) limits for the entire bank as well as for each of its business units. In order to prevent concentration of risk in a particular borrower or borrower class, Shinhan Bank also manages credit risk by borrower, industry, country and other detailed categories.
Shinhan Bank measures credit risk using internally accumulated data. Shinhan Bank measures expected and unexpected losses with respect to total assets monthly, which Shinhan Bank refers to when setting risk limits for, and allocating capital to, its business groups. Expected loss is calculated based on the probability of default, the loss given default, the exposure at default and the past bankruptcy rate and recovery rate, and Shinhan Bank provides allowance for loan losses accordingly. Shinhan Bank makes provisioning at a level which is the higher of the Financial Supervisory Service requirement or Shinhan Bank’s internal calculation. Unexpected loss is predicted based on VaR, which is used to determine compliance with the aggregate credit risk limit for Shinhan Bank as well as the credit risk limit for the relevant department within Shinhan Bank. Shinhan Bank uses the Advanced Internal Rating-Based (“AIRB”) method as proposed by the Basel Committee for computing VaR. Compared to the previously used simulation method, the AIRB method generally yields more stable and understandable measurements since it enables computation ofcompute VaR at even the account-specific level. In addition, the AIRB method is more effective in computing the Risk Adjusted Performance Measurement.level as well as to measure risk adjusted performance.
Credit Risk Management of Shinhan Card
Major policies for Shinhan Card’s credit risk management are determined by Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Council, and Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Committee is responsible for approving them. Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Council is headed by the Chief Risk Officer, and also comprises of the heads of each business unit, supporting unit and relevant department at Shinhan Card. Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Council convenes at least once every month and may also convene on anad hocbasis as needed. Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Committee is comprised of three Non-Standing Directors. Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Committee convenes at least once every quarter and may also convene on anad hocbasis as needed.
The risk of loss from default by an obligorthe cardholders or counterpartycredit card loan borrowers is Shinhan Card’s greatest credit risk. Shinhan Card manages its credit risk based on the following principles:
achieve profit at a level corresponding to the level of risks involved;
improve asset quality and achieve an optimal mix of asset portfolios; and
focus onclosely monitor borrower’s ability to repay the debt.
Credit Card Approval Process
Shinhan Card uses an automated credit scoring system to approve credit card applications or credit card authorizations. The credit scoring system is divided into two sub-systems: the behavior scoring system and the application scoring system. The behavior scoring system is based largely on the credit history of the cardholder or borrower, and the application scoring system is based largely on personal information of the applicant. For credit card applicants with whom we have an existing relationship, Shinhan Card’s credit scoring system considers internally gathered information such as repaymentthe ability to repay, total assets, the length of the existing
relationship and the applicant’s contribution to Shinhan Card’s profitability. The credit scoring system also automatically conducts credit checks on all credit card applicants. Shinhan Card gathers information about applicants’the applicant’s transaction history with financial institutions, including banks and credit card companies, from a number of third party credit reporting agencies including, among others, National Information & Credit Evaluation Inc. and Korea Credit Bureau. These credit checks reveal a list of the delinquent customers of all the credit card issuers in Korea.
If a credit score awardedassigned to an applicant is above athe minimum threshold, the application is approved unless overridden based on other considerations such as delinquencies with other credit card companies. For a credit card application by a long-standing customer with a good credit history, Shinhan Card may, on a discretionary basis, waiveapprove the application notwithstanding the assigned credit score unless overridden by other considerations. All of these factors also serve as the basis for setting a credit limit if Shinhan Card approves the related application.for approved applications.
The following describes the process onof how Shinhan Card sets credit limits for credit cards, cash advances and card loans:
| • | Credit purchase and cash advance limits — These limits are set based on the applicant’s limit request and Shinhan Card’s credit screening criteria. |
| • | Card loan limit — This limit is set monthly by Shinhan Card based on the |
Monitoring
Shinhan Card continually monitors all accountholderscardholders and accounts using a behavior scoring system. The behavior scoring system predicts a cardholder’s payment pattern by evaluating the cardholder’s credit history, card usage and amounts, payment status and other relevant data. The behavior score is recalculated each month and is used to manage the accounts and approval of additional loans and other products to the cardholder. Shinhan Card also uses the scoring system to monitor its overall risk exposure and to modify its credit risk management strategy.
Loan Application Review and On-going Credit Review
When reviewing new applications and conducting an on-goingongoing credit review for retail loans, installment purchase loans and personal leases, Shinhan Card uses criteria substantially similar to those used in the credit underwriting system and the credit review system for credit card customers.cardholders. For retail loans, installment purchase loans and personal leases to existing cardholders, Shinhan Card reviews their card usage history in addition to other factors such as their income, occupation and assets.
Fraud Loss Prevention
Shinhan Card seeks to minimize losses from the fraudulent use of credit cards issued by it. Shinhan Card focuses on preventing fraudulent uses and, following the occurrence of a fraudulent use, makes investigations in order to make the responsible party bear the losses. Misuses of lost credit cards account for a substantial majority of Shinhan Card’s fraudfraud-related losses. Through its fraud loss prevention system, Shinhan Card seeks to detect, on a real-time basis, transactions that are unusual or inconsistent with prior usage history and calls are made to the relevant
cardholders to confirm their purchases. A team at Shinhan Card dedicated to investigating fraud losses also examines whether the cardholder was at fault by, for example, not reporting a lost card or failing to
endorse the card, or whether the relevant merchant was negligent in checking the identity of the user. Fault may also lie with delivery companies that fail to deliver credit cards to the relevant applicant. In such instances, Shinhan Card attempts to recover fraud losses from the responsible party. To prevent misuse of a card as well as to manage credit risk, Shinhan Card’s information technology system will automatically suspend the use of a card (i) when, as a result of ongoing monitoring, fraudulent use or loss of the card is suspected based on the accountholder’s credit score, or (ii) at the request of the accountholder.
Approximately 80% of Shinhan Card’s cardholders have consentedconsent to Shinhan CardCard’s accessing their travel records to detect any misuse of credit cards while they are traveling abroad. Shinhan Card also offers cardholders additional fraud protection through a fee-based short messagetexting service. At the cardholder’s option, Shinhan Card notifies the cardholder of any credit card activity in his or her account by sending a text message to his or her mobile phone. This monitoringnotification service allows customers to quickly and easily identify any fraudulent use of their credit cards.
Credit Risk Management of Shinhan Investment
In accordance with the guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Service, Shinhan Investment assesses its credit risks (including through VaR analyses) and allocates the maximum limit for the credit amount at risk by department. Shinhan Investment also assesses the counterparty risks in all credit-related transactions, such as loans, acquisitions financingacquisition financings and derivative transactions and takes corresponding risk management measures. In assessing the credit risk of a corporate counterparty, Shinhan Investment considers such counterparty’s corporate credit rating obtained from Shinhan Bank’s internal corporate rating database. Through its risk management system, Shinhan Investment also closely monitors credit risk exposures by counterparty, industry, conglomerates, credit ratings and country. Shinhan Investment conducts credit risk stress tests on a daily basis based on probability of default and also conducts more advanced stress tests from time to time, the results of which are then reported to its management as well as the Group Chief Risk Officer to support group-wide credit risk management.
Market Risk Management
Market risk is the risk of loss generated by fluctuations in market prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The principal market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, foreign exchange risk and equity price risk. These risks stem from our trading and non-trading activities relating to financial instruments such as loans, deposits, securities and financial derivatives. We divide market risk into risks arising from trading activities and risks arising from non-trading activities.
Our market risks arise primarily from Shinhan Bank, and to a lesser extent, Shinhan Investment, our securities trading and brokerage subsidiary, which incursfaces market risk relating to its trading activities.
Shinhan Bank’s Asset & Liability Management Committee, or the ALMRisk Policy Committee acts as the executive decision-making body in relation to Shinhan Bank’s market risks in terms of setting theits risk management policies and risk limits in relation to market risks and assets and controlling market risks arising from trading and non-trading activities.activities of Shinhan Bank. This Committee consists of the deputy presidents of Shinhan Bank’s seven executive vice presidents, the head of thebusiness groups, which includes Shinhan Bank’s Chief Risk Management DepartmentOfficer and the head of the Treasury Department of Shinhan Bank.Chief Financial Officer. At least on a monthly basis, the ALMRisk Policy Committee reviews and approves reports which includerelating to, among others, the position and VaR with respect toof Shinhan Bank’s trading activities and the position, VaR, duration gap and market value analysis and net interest income simulation with respect toof its non-trading activities. In addition, Shinhan Bank’s Risk Management Department comprehensively manages market risks on an independent basis from Shinhan Bank’s operating departments, and functions as the middle office of Shinhan Bank. Shinhan Bank measures market risk with respect to all assets and liabilities in the bank accounts and trust accounts in accordance with the regulations promulgated by the Financial Services Commission.
Shinhan Investment manages its market risk based on its overall risk limit established by its risk management committee as well as the risk limits and detailed risk management guidelines for each product and department established by its Risk Management Working Committee. Shinhan Investment’s Risk Management Working Committee is the executive decision-making body for managing market risks related to Shinhan
Investment, and determines, among other things, Shinhan Investment’s overall market risk management policies and strategies, and assesses and approves trading activities and limits. In addition, Shinhan Investment’s Risk Management Department manages various market risk limits and monitors operating conditions on an independent basis from Shinhan Investment’s operating departments. Shinhan Investment assesses the adequacy of these limits at least annually. In addition, Shinhan Investment assesses the market risks of its trading assets. The assessment procedure is based on the standard procedures set by the Financial Supervisory Service as well as an internally developed model. Shinhan Investment assesses the risk amount and VaR, and manages the risk by setting a risk limit per sector as well as a VaR limit.
Shinhan Life Insurance manages its market risk based on its overall risk limit established by its risk management committee. Shinhan Life Insurance manages market risk in regard to assets that are subject to trading activities and foreign exchange positions.
Shinhan Card does not have any assets with significant exposure to market risks and therefore does not maintain a risk management policy with respect to market risks.
We use IFRS numbersfinancial information prepared on a separate basis according to IFRS for the market risk management of our subsidiaries and, unless otherwise specified the numbersherein, financial information in this annual report presented for quantitative market risk disclosure relating to our subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a separate basis.
Market Risk Exposure from Trading Activities
Shinhan Bank’s trading activities principally consist of:
trading activities to realize short-term profits from trading profits in the equity and debt and stocksecurities markets and the foreign exchangecurrency markets based on Shinhan Bank’s short-term forecast of changes in market situation and customer demand, for its own account as well as for the account of the trust accounts of Shinhan Bank’s customers; and
trading activities primarily to realize profits from arbitrage transactions ininvolving derivatives such as swap, forward,swaps, forwards, futures and option transactions,options, and, to a lesser extent, to sell derivative products to Shinhan Bank’s customers and to cover market risk incurred fromassociated with those trading activities.
Shinhan Investment’s trading activities principally consist of trading for customers and for proprietary accounts equity and debt securities and derivatives based on stocks,stock prices, stock indexes, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity.commodity prices.
As a result of these trading activities, Shinhan Bank is exposed principally to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and equity risk, and Shinhan Investment is exposed principally to equity risk and interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Shinhan Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from Won-denominated debt securities, directly held or indirectly held through beneficiary certificates, and, to a lesser extent, from interest rate derivatives. Shinhan Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk arising from foreign currency-denominated trading debt securities is minimal since its net position in those securities is not significant. As Shinhan Bank’s trading accounts are marked-to-market daily, it manages the interest rate risk related to its trading accounts using VaR, a market value-based tool.
Shinhan Investment’s interest rate risk arises primarily from management of its interest rate-sensitive asset portfolio, which mainly consists of debt securities, interest rate swaps and government bond futures, and the level of such risk exposure depends largely on the variance between the interest rate movement assumptions built into the asset portfolio and the actual interest rate movements and the spread between a derivative product and its underlying assets. Shinhan Investment quantifies and manages the interest rate-related exposure by daily conducting VaR and stress tests on a marked-to-market basis.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises because of Shinhan Bank’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk mainly relates to its assets and liabilities, including derivatives such as foreign exchangecurrency forwards and futures and currency swaps, which are denominated in currencies other than the
Won. Shinhan Bank manages foreign currency exchange rate risk on an overall positiona consolidated basis, including the corresponding risks faced by its overseas branches, by covering all of its foreign exchange spot and forward positions in both trading and non-trading accounts.
Shinhan Bank’s net foreign currency open position which isrepresents the difference between its foreign currency assets and liabilities as offset against forward foreign exchangecurrency positions, and is Shinhan Bank’s principal exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The ALMRisk Policy Committee oversees Shinhan Bank’s foreign exchangecurrency exposure for both trading and non-trading activities by establishing limits for the net foreign currency open position, loss limits and VaR limits. The management of Shinhan Bank’sBank centrally monitors and manages its foreign exchange position is centralized at thepositions through its FX & Derivatives Department. Dealers in the FX & Derivatives Department manage Shinhan Bank’s overall position within the setpreset limits through spot trading, forward contracts, currency options, futures and swaps and foreign exchangecurrency swaps. Shinhan Bank sets a limit for net open positions by currency and thecurrency. The limits for currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro and Chinese Yuan are set in a conservative manner in order to minimize other foreign exchange trading.trading in such currencies.
Shinhan Investment carriesfaces foreign currency exchange rate risk in relation to the following product offerings: currency forwards, currency swaps and currency futures. Transactions ofShinhan Investment centrally monitors and manages transactions involving such products are centrally monitored and managed by Shinhan Investment’sthrough its Fixed Income, Currency & Commodities Departments. Shinhan Investment’s Risk Management Working Committee, which has beenis delegated with the decision-making authority over the approval ofto approve foreign exchange-relatedcurrency-related transactions and limits on the related open positions, manages the related foreign exchange risk by setting nominal limits on the amounts of foreign exchange-related products and monitoring compliance with such limits on a daily basis. As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Investment’s net open position related to foreign exchange-relatedcurrency-related products was US$75.6(13.8) million, and its open positions related to the sale of U.S. dollarWon-U.S. Dollar forwards and Won-U.S. dollar futures were US$(176.0)(450.6) million and US$0195.6 million, respectively.

Equity Risk
Equity risk for Shinhan Bank’s equity risk related to trading activities results frommainly involves trading equity portfolios of Korean companies and Korea Stock Price Index futures and options. The trading equity portfolio consists of stocks listed on the KRX KOSPI Market or the KRX KOSDAQ Market of the Korea Exchange and nearest-month or second nearest-month futures contracts under strict limits on diversification as well as limits on positions. Shinhan Bank maintains strict scrutiny of these activities in light of the volatility in the Korean stock market. In addition, Shinhan Bank pays close attention tomarket and closely monitors the loss limits.limits and the observance thereof. Although Shinhan Bank holds a substantially smaller amount of equity securities than debt securities in its trading accounts, the VaR of trading account equity risk is generally higher than that of trading account interest rate risk due to high volatility in the value of equity securities. As of December 31, 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank held ￦67.0W165.4 billion, ￦106.9W64.6 billion and ￦165.4W60.7 billion, respectively, of equity securities in its trading accounts (including the trust accounts).

Shinhan Bank generally manages its market risk from the trading activities of its portfolios on an aggregated basis. To control its trading portfolio market risk, Shinhan Bank uses position limits, VaR limits, stop loss limits, Greek limits and stressed loss limits. In addition, it establishes appropriateseparate limits for investment securities. Shinhan Bank maintains risk control and management guidelines for derivative trading based on the regulations and guidelines promulgated by the Financial Services Commission, and measures market risk from trading activities to monitor and control the risk of its operating divisions and teams that perform trading activities.
Shinhan Bank manages VaR measurements and limits on a daily basis based on an automatic interfacing of its trading positions into its market risk measurement system. In addition, Shinhan Bank establishes pre-setpresets limits on loss, sensitivity, investment and stress limits for its trading departments and desks and daily monitors such limits daily.and observance thereof.
Value-at-risk analysis. Shinhan Bank uses ten-day and one-day VaRs to measure its market risk. Shinhan Bank calculates 10-day(i) ten-day VaRs on a daily basis based on data for the previous 12 months for the holding periods of ten days and (ii) one-day VARs on a daily basis based on data for the previous 12 months for the holding periods of one day. A ten-day VaR and one-day VaR are statistically estimated maximum amountamounts of loss that can occur for ten days and one day, respectively, under normal market conditions. If a VaR is measured using a 99% confidence level, the actual amount of loss may exceed the expected VaR, on average, once out of every 100 business days, while if a VaR is measured using a 99.9% confidence level, the actual amount of loss may exceed the VaR, on average, once out of 1,000 business days.
Shinhan Bank currently uses the ten-day 99% confidence level-based VaR and stressed VAR for purposes of calculating the regulatory capital used in reporting to the Financial Supervisory Service. Stressed VaR which reflects the potential significant loss in the current trading portfolio based on scenarioscenarios derived from a crisis simulation during the preceding 12 months. Shinhan Bank also uses the more conservative ten-day 99.9% confidence level-based VaR for purposes of calculating its “economic” capital used for internal management purposes, which is a concept used in determining the amount of Shinhan Bank’s requisite capital in light of the market risk. In addition, Shinhan Bank uses the one-day 99% confidence level-based VaR on a supplemental basis for purposes of setting and managing risk limits specific to each desk or team in its operating units as well as for back-testing purposes. For Shinhan Bank, the actual amount of losses exceeded VaR atthe one-day 99% confidence levellevel-based VaR amount twice in 20112013, by 23% on April 11, 2013 and noneby 73% on July 1, 2013, and once in 2012.2014, by 58% on December 16, 2014.
Shinhan Investment currently uses the ten-day 99.9% confidence level-based historical VaR for purposes of calculating its “economic” capital used for internal management purposes. In addition, Shinhan Investment applies this VaR as a risk limit for the entire company as well as individual departments and products, and the adequacy of such VaR is reviewed by way of daily back-testing. When computing the VAR, Shinhan Investment does not assume any particular probability distribution and calculates it through a simulation of the “full valuation” method based on changes of market variables such as stock prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates in the past one year. For Shinhan Investment, the actual amount of losses exceeded VaR atdid not exceed the one-day 99% confidence level fivelevel-based VaR amount in 2013, but exceeded such amount three times in 20112014, by 5%, 21% and none in 2012.49% on August 28, 2014, September 11, 2014 and November 6, 2014, respectively.
Value-at-risk is a commonly used market risk management technique. However, VaR models have the following shortcomings:
VaR estimates possible losses over a certain period at a particular confidence level using past market movement data. Past market movement, however, is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future events, particularly potential future eventsthose that are extreme in nature;
VaR may underestimate the probability of extreme market movements;
Shinhan Bank’s VaR models assume that a holding period of generally one to ten days is sufficient prior to liquidating the underlying positions, but such assumption regarding the length of the holding period so assumed may actuallyprove to be insufficient or excessive;
The 99.9% confidence level does not take into account or make any statement aboutprovide indication of any losses that might occur beyond this confidence level; and
VaR does not capture all complex effects of various risk factors on the value of positions and portfolios and could underestimate potential losses.
Currently, Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Investment conduct back-testing of VaR results against actual outcomes on a daily basis.
Shinhan Bank operates an integrated market risk management system which manages Shinhan Bank’s Won-denominated and foreign-denominated accounts. This system uses historical simulation to measure both linear risks arising from products such products as equity and debt securities and nonlinear risks arising from other products
including options. We believe that this system enables Shinhan Bank to generate elaborate and consistent VaR numbersinformation and to perform sensitivity analysis and back testing in order to check the validity of the models on a daily basis. Shinhan Life also measuremeasures market risks based on a VaR analysis.
Stress test. In addition to VaR, Shinhan Bank performs stress testtests to measure market risk. As VaR assumes normal market situations, Shinhan Bank assesses its market risk exposure to unlikely abnormal market fluctuations through stress test. Stress test is an important way of supplementinga valuable supplement to VaR since VaR does not cover potential loss if the market moves in a manner whichthat is outside Shinhan Bank’s normal expectations. Stress test projects the anticipated change in value of holding positions under certain scenarios assuming that no action is taken during a stress event to change the risk profile of a portfolio.
Shinhan Bank uses seven relatively simple but fundamental scenarios for stress test by taking into account four market risk components such ascomponents: foreign currency exchange rates, stock prices, and Won-denominated interest rates and foreign currency-denominated interest rates. For the worst case scenario, we assumeShinhan Bank assumes instantaneous and simultaneous movements in the four market risk components —components: appreciation of Won by 20%, a decrease in Korea Exchange Composite Index by 30%, and increases in Won-denominated and U.S. dollar-denominatedDollar-denominated interest rates by 200 basis points and 200 basis points,each, respectively. Under this worst-case scenario, the market value of Shinhan Bank’s trading portfolio would have declined by ￦43.2W317 billion as of December 31, 2012.2014. Shinhan Bank performs stress test on a daily basis and reports the results to the ALMits Risk Policy Committee on a monthly basis and theits Risk Management Committee on a monthlyquarterly basis.
Shinhan Investment uses nine scenarios for stress tests by taking into account four market risk components: stock prices (both in terms of stock market indices andb-based ß-based individual stock prices), interest rates for Won-denominated loans, foreign currency exchange rates and implied volatility. As of December 31, 2012,2014, under the worst case scenario assuming a 1% point increase in the three-year government bond yield, the market value of Shinhan Investment’s trading portfolio would have fluctuated by ￦9.46W39.6 billion for one day.
Shinhan Life Insurance conducts a stress test annually based on a “bad” scenario and a “worst-case” scenario, and the results of the stress test include expected losses and impacts on capital adequacy. Shinhan Life Insurance takes preemptive measures on the basis of the results from its stress tests.
Shinhan Bank sets limits on stress testing for its overall operations. Shinhan Investment sets limits on stress testing for its overall operations as well as at its department level. Although Shinhan Life Insurance does not set any limits on stress testing, it monitors the impact of market turmoil or any abnormality. Shinhan Investment sets limits on stress testing for its overall operations as well as at its department level. In the case of Shinhan Bank, Shinhan Investment and Shinhan Life Insurance, if the potential impact is large, their respective Chief Risk Officer may request a portfolio restructuring or other proper action.
Hedging and Derivative Market Risk
The principal objective of our group-wide hedging strategy is to manage market risk within established limits. We use derivative instruments to hedge our market risk as well as to make profits by trading derivative products within pre-approvedpreset risk limits. Our derivative trading includes interest rate and cross-currency swaps, foreign currency forwards and futures, stock index and interest rate futures, and stock index and currency options.
While we use derivatives for hedging purposes, derivative transactions by nature involve market risk since we take trading positions for the purpose of making profits. These activities consist primarily of the following:
arbitrage transactions to make profits from short-term discrepancies between the spot and derivative markets or within the derivative markets;
sales of tailor-made derivative products that meet various needs of our corporate customers, principally of Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Investment, and related transactions to reduce their exposure resulting from those sales;
taking positions in limited cases when we expect short-swing profits based on our market forecasts; and
trading to hedge our interest rate and foreign currency risk exposure as described above.
Market risk from derivatives is not significant for Shinhan Bank since its derivative trading activities involve primarily arbitrage and customer transactions with limited open trading positions.
In relation to our adoption of IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, we have implemented internal processes which include a number of key controls designed to ensure that fair value is measured appropriately, particularly where a fair value model is internally developed and used to price a significant product.
Shinhan Bank assesses the adequacy of the fair market value of a new product derived from its internal model prior to the launch of such product. The assessment process involves the following:
computation of an internal dealing system market value (based on assessment by the quantitative analysis team of the adequacy of the formula and the model used to compute the market value as derived from the dealing system);
computation of the market value as obtained from an outside credit evaluation company; and
following comparison of the market value derived from an internal dealing system to that obtained from outside credit evaluation companies, determination as to whether to use the internally developed market value based on inter-departmental agreement.
The dealing system market value, which is used officially by Shinhan Bank after undergoing the assessment process above, does not undergo a sampling process that confirms the value based on review of individual transactions, but is subject to an additional assessment procedure of comparing such value against the profits derived from the dealing systems based on the deal portfolio sensitivity.
Shinhan Investment follows an internal policy as set by its Fair Value Evaluation Committee for computing and assessing the adequacy of fair value of all of its over-the-counter derivative products. Shinhan Investment computes the fair value based on an internal model and internal risk management systems and assesses the adequacy of the fair value through cross-departmental checks as well as comparison against fair values obtained from outside credit evaluation companies.
See “Item 5.A. Operating Results — Critical Accounting Policies” and Note 43 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Market risk from derivatives is not significant since derivative trading activities of Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Investment are primarily driven by arbitrage and customer deals with veryhighly limited open trading positions. Market risk from derivatives is also not significant for Shinhan Life Insurance as its derivative trading activities are limited to those within pre-approvedpreset risk limits and are subject to heavy regulations imposed on the insurance industry. Market risk from derivatives is not significant for our other subsidiaries since the amount of such positions by our other subsidiaries is insignificant.
Market Risk Management for Non-trading Activities
Interest Rate Risk
PrincipalInterest rate risk represents Shinhan Bank’s principal market risk from non-trading activities of Shinhan Bank is interest rate risk.activities. Interest rate risk is the risk of loss resulting from interest rate fluctuations that adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of Shinhan Bank. Shinhan Bank’s interest rate risk arises primarily duerelates to the differences between the timing of rate changes for interest-earning assets and that for interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest rate risk affects Shinhan Bank’s earnings and the economic value of Shinhan Bank’s net assets:assets as follows:
| • | Earnings: interest rate fluctuations have an effect on Shinhan Bank’s net interest income by affecting its interest-sensitive operating income and expenses. |
| • | Economic value of net assets: interest rate fluctuations influence Shinhan Bank’s net worth by affecting the present value of cash flows from the assets, liabilities and other transactions of Shinhan Bank. |
Accordingly, Shinhan Bank measures and manages interest rate risk for non-trading activities by taking into account the effects of interest rate changes on both its income and net asset value. Shinhan Bank measures and
manages interest rate risk on a daily/daily and monthly basis with respect to all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in Shinhan Bank’s bank accounts (including derivatives denominated in Won which are principally interest rate swaps entered into for the purpose of hedging) and in the trust accounts, except that itShinhan Bank measures VaRs on a monthly basis. Most of Shinhan Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are denominated in Won.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The principal objectives of Shinhan Bank’s interest rate risk management are to generate stable net interest income and to protect Shinhan Bank’s net asset value against interest rate fluctuations. Through its asset and liability management system, Shinhan Bank measuresmonitors and manages its interest rate risk based on various analytical measures such as interest rate gap, duration gap and net present value and net interest income simulations, and monitors on a monthly basis its interest rate VaR limits, interest rate earnings at risk (“EaR”) limits and interest rate gap ratio limits. Shinhan Bank measures its interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR based on a simulated estimation of the maximum decrease in net asset value and net interest income in a one-year period based on various scenario analyses of historical interest rates. The ALMRisk Policy Committee sets out Shinhan Bank’s interest rate risk limits for Shinhan Bank’s Won-denominated and foreign currency-denominated non-trading accounts and trust accounts, and the Risk Management Committee sets Shinhan Bank’s overall interest rate risk, in both cases, at least annually and theannually. The Risk Management Department monitors Shinhan Bank’s compliance with these limits and reports the monitoring results to the ALMRisk Policy Committee on a monthly basis and the Risk Management Committee on a quarterly basis. Shinhan Bank uses interest rate swaps to control its interest rate exposure limits.
Interest rate VaR represents the maximum anticipated loss in a net present value calculation (computed as the present value of interest-earning assets minus the present value of interest-bearing liabilities), whereas interest rate EaR represents the maximum anticipated loss in a net earnings calculation (computed as interest income minus interest expenses) for the immediately following one-year period, in each case, as a result of negative movements in interest rates. Therefore, interest rate VaR is a more expansive concept than interest rate EaR in that the former covers all interest-earning assets and all interest-bearing liabilities, whereas the latter covers only those interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are exposed to interest rate volatility for a one-year period.
Hence, for interest rate VaRs, the duration gap (namely, the weighted average duration of all interest-earning assets minus the weighted average duration of all interest-bearing liabilities) can be a more critical factor than the relative sizes of the relevant assets and liabilities in influencing interest rate VaRs. In comparison, for
interest rate EaRs, the relative sizes of the relevant assets and liabilities in the form of the “one year or less interest rate” gap (namely, the volume of interest-earning assets with maturities of less than one year minus the volume of interest-bearing liabilities with maturities of less than one year) is the most critical factor in influencing the interest rate EaRs.
The interest rate VaR limits are set as the sum of (i) the average of the monthly non-trading interest rate VARs as a percentage of interest-bearing assets over a period of one year and (ii) the standard deviation at the 99% confidence level (namely, 2.33 times the standard deviation of the monthly non-trading interest rate VARs as a percentage of interest-bearing assets).
The interest rate EaR limits are set at the maximum decrease in net interest income by (i) assuming that the estimated interest rate gap will expand to the maximum level of manageable (tolerable) situations and (ii) applying the interest rate shock scenario to the annual volatility of interest rates using past 10-year market interest rates.
On a monthly basis, we monitor whether the non-trading positions for interest rate VaR and EaR exceed their respective limits as described above.
Interest rate VaR cannot be meaningfully compared to the ten-day 99% confidence level based VaR (“market risk VaR”) for managing trading risk principally because (i) the underlying assets are different (namely, non-trading interest-bearing assets as well as liabilities in the case of the interest rate VaR, compared to trading assets only in the case of the market risk VaR), and (ii) interest rate VaR is sensitive to interest rate movements only while the market risk VaR is sensitive to interest rate movements as well as other elementsfactors such as foreign currency exchange rates, stock market prices and option volatility.
Even if comparison is beingwere to be made between the interest rate VaR and the interest rate portion only of the market risk VaR, we do not believe such comparison willwould be meaningful since the interest rate VaR
examines the impact of interest rate movements on both assets and liabilities (which will likely have offsetting effects), whereas the interest rate portion of the market VaR examines the impact of interest rate movements on assets only.
On a daily/monthly basis, Shinhan Bank uses various analytical methodologies to measure and manage its interest rate risk for non-trading activities on a daily and monthly basis, including the following:following analyses:

Interest Rate Gap Analysis
Interest rateShinhan Bank performs an interest gap analysis measuresto measure the difference inbetween the amountsamount of interest-earning assets and that of interest-bearing liabilities at each maturity and re-pricing date for specific time intervals by preparing interest rate gap tables in which Shinhan Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are allocated to the applicable time categoriesintervals based on the expected cash flows and re-pricing dates.
On a daily basis, Shinhan Bank performs interest rate gap analysis for WonWon- and foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated assets and liabilities in its bank and trust accounts. Shinhan Bank’s gap analysis includes Won-denominated derivatives (which are interest rate swaps for the purpose of hedging) and foreign currency-denominated derivatives (which are currency swaps for the purpose of hedging) whose management is centralized, which are managed centrally at
the FX & Derivatives Department. Through the interest rate gap analysis that measures interest rate sensitivity gaps, cumulative gaps and gap ratios, Shinhan Bank assesses its exposure to future interest risk fluctuations. For interest rate gap analysis, Shinhan Bank assumes and uses the following maturities for different types of assets and liabilities:
with respect to the maturities and re-pricing dates of Shinhan Bank’s assets, Shinhan Bank assumes that the maturity of Shinhan Bank’s prime rate-linked loans is the same as that of its fixed-rate loans. Shinhan Bank excludes equity securities from interest-earning assets;
with respect to the maturities and re-pricing of Shinhan Bank’s liabilities, Shinhan Bank assumes that money market deposit accounts and “non-core” demand deposits under the Financial Services Commission guidelines have a maturity of one month or less for both Won-denominated accounts and foreign currency-denominated accounts; and
with respect to “core” demand deposits under the Financial Services Commission guidelines, Shinhan Bank assumes that they have maturities of eight different intervals ranging from one month to five years.
The following tables show Shinhan Bank’s interest rate gaps as of December 31, 20122014 for (1)(i) Won-denominated non-trading bank accounts, including derivatives entered into for the purpose of hedging and (2)(ii) foreign currency-denominated non-trading bank accounts, including derivatives entered into for the purpose of hedging.

Duration Gap and Market Value Analysis
Shinhan Bank performs a duration gap analysis to measure the differential effects of interest rate risk on the market value of its assets and liabilities.liabilities by examining the difference between the durations of Shinhan Bank measures,Bank’s interest-earning assets and those of its interest-bearing liabilities, which durations represent their respective weighted average maturities calculated based on their respective discounted cash flows using applicable yield curves. These measurements are done on a daily basis and for each operating department, account, product and currency, the respective durations of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Shinhan Bank also measures, on a daily basis, changes in the market value of Shinhan Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The following tables show duration gaps and market values of Shinhan Bank’s Won-denominated interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in its not-tradingnon-trading accounts as of December 31, 20122014 and changes in these market values when interest rate increases by one percentage point.

Net Interest Income Simulation
Shinhan Bank performs net interest income simulation to measure the effects of the change in interest rate on its results of operations. Such simulation measuresuses deterministic analysis methodology to measure the estimated changes in Shinhan Bank’s annual net interest income (interest income less interest expenses) under the current maturity structure, using different scenarios for interest rates (assuming parallel shifts) and funding requirements. For simulations involving interest rate changes, assumingbased on the assumption that there is no change in funding requirements, Shinhan Bank applies three scenarios of parallel shifts in interest rate: (1) no change, (2) a 1% point increase in interest rates and (3) a 1% point decrease in interest rates.
The following tables illustratetable illustrates by way of an example the simulated changes in Shinhan Bank’s annual net interest income for 20122013 with respect to Won-denominated interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, using Shinhan Bank’s net interest income simulation model, when it assumesassuming (a) the maturity structure and funding requirement of Shinhan Bank as of December 31, 20122013 and (b) the same interest rates as of December 31, 20122014 and a 1% point increase or decrease in the interest rates.

Shinhan Bank’s Won-denominated interest earninginterest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in non-trading accounts have a maturity structure that benefits from an increase in interest rates, because the re-pricing periods of thefor interest-earning assets in Shinhan Bank’s non-trading accounts tend to beare, on average, shorter than those of the interest-bearing liabilities in these accounts. This is primarily due to a sustained low interest rate environment in the recent years in Korea, which resulted in a significant increase in demand for floating rate loans resulting(which tend to have shorter maturities or re-pricing periods than fixed rate loans) as a portion of Shinhan Bank’s overall loans, which in turn led to the shortening, on average, of the maturities or re-pricing periods of Shinhan Bank’s loans becoming shorter.on an aggregate basis. As a result, Shinhan Bank’s net interest income tends to increase whendecrease during times of a decrease in the market interest rates rise.while the opposite is generally true during times of an increase in the market interest rates.
Interest Rate VaRs for Non-trading Assets and Liabilities
Shinhan Bank measures VaRs for interest rate risk from non-trading activities on a monthly basis. The following table shows, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012,2014, the VaRs of interest rate mismatch risk
for other assets and liabilities, which arises from mismatches inbetween the re-pricing dates offor Shinhan Bank’s non-trading interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities including available-for-sale investment securities.securities and those for its interest-bearing liabilities. Under the regulations of the Financial Services Commission, regulations, Shinhan Bank includes in calculation of these VaRs interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in its bank accounts and its merchant banking accounts.

Note:
| (1) | One-year VaR results with a 99.9% confidence level. Computed based on Shinhan Bank’s internal model as explained below. |
The foregoing VaR was computed based on Shinhan Bank’s internal model, whereas the non-trading assets and liabilities VaR of Shinhan Bank appearing in note 4(c)(ii) to the financial statements included in this annual report was computed in accordance with the Basel Committee’s proposed standard approach. In note 4(c)(ii) to
the financial statements, we did not use the internal model but instead used the Basel Committee’s proposed standard approach because in such note we presented non-trading assets and liabilities VaRs also for our other subsidiaries (namely, Shinhan Card, Shinhan Investment and Shinhan Life Insurance) and we currently do not apply the internal model to Shinhan Investment (although we are in the process of developing an internal model for Shinhan Investment as well for target completion by the end of 2015). In addition, Shinhan Bank is required to report to domestic regulators non-trading assets and liabilities VaR prepared based on both the Basel Committee’s proposed standard approach and our internal model. Therefore, in order to enhance comparability across our subsidiaries appearing in note 4(c)(ii) to the financial statements, as well as with the reports submitted to the Korean regulators, we applied the Basel Committee’s proposed standard approach for purposes of the disclosure in note 4(c)(ii) to the financial statements.
Under our internal model, non-trading assets and liabilities VaR is computed based on historical simulation at the 99.9% confidence level, namely by computing the average net present value based on the net present value distribution under historical interest rate scenarios and subtracting from such average net present value the net present value at the 0.1% percentile. In comparison, under the Basel Committee’s proposed standard approach, non-trading assets and liabilities VaR is computed by using the following formula involving the interest rate gap under different maturity time buckets, the modified duration proxy as proposed by the Basel Committee and the standard interest rate shock of 200 basis points:
Interest rate VaR =
[Interest rate gap for maturityi * Modified duration proxy of maturityi] * 200 basis points

Maturity i is 0 to 1 month, 1 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, 1 to 2 years, 2 to 3 years, 3 to 4 years, 4 to 5 years, 5 to 7 years, 7 to 10 years, 10 to 15 years, 15 to 20 years and more than 20 years;
Interest rate gap means the difference between the amount of interest sensitive assets and the amount of interest sensitive liabilities for each maturity time bucket, which is classified based on the respective interest rate reset dates (namely, (i) in the case of floating rate loans, the periodic interest rate determination dates and (ii) in the case of fixed rate loans, the interest rate reset dates, if any, or the maturity date (in the case of rollovers)); and
Modified duration proxy means the sensitivity in bond prices relating to movements in interest rates, which may substitute for interest rate gap for maturityi to calculate interest rate VaR under the standardized guidelines proposed by the Basel Committee.
Upon completion of the development and testing of the internal model for Shinhan Investment as currently expected by the end of 2015, in the corresponding note to the financial statements in future annual reports, we plan to present the VaR for interest rate risk from non-trading activities of Shinhan Bank, Shinhan Card, Shinhan Investment and Shinhan Life Insurance each based our internal model rather than based on the current mix of internal model and Basel Committee’s proposed standard approach as currently disclosed, for purposes of enhanced comparability and consistency.
Interest Rate Risk for Other Subsidiaries
Shinhan Card also monitors and manages its interest rate risk for all its interest-bearing assets and liabilities (including off-balance sheet items) in terms of the impact on its earnings and net asset value from changes in interest rates. Shinhan Card primarily uses interest rate VaR and EaR analyses to measure its interest rate risk.
The interest rate VaR analysis used by Shinhan Card principally focuses on the maximum impact on its net asset value from adverse movements in interest rates and comprisesconsists of (i) historical interest rate VaR analysis and (ii) interest rate gap analysis. The historical interest rate VaR analysis is made through simulation of net asset value based on the interest rate volatility over a fixed past period to produce expected future interest rate scenarios and computes the maximum value at risk at a 99.9% confidence level by analyzing the net present
value distribution under each such scenario. As for interest rate gap analysis, Shinhan Card computes the value at risk based on the duration proxies and interest rate shocks for each time bucketinterval as recommended under the Basel Accord.
The interest rate EaR analysis used by Shinhan Card computes the maximum loss in net interest income for a one-year period following adverse movements in interest rates, based on an interest rate gap analysis using the time bucketsintervals and the “middle of time band” as recommended under the Basel Accord.
In addition, Shinhan Life Insurance monitors and manages its interest rate risk for its investment assets and liabilities based on simulations of its asset-liability management system. These simulations typically involve subjecting Shinhan Life Insurance’s current and future assets and liabilities to more than 2,000 market scenarios based on varying assumptions, such as new debt purchases and target investment portfolios, so as to derive its net asset value forecast for the next three years at a 99% confidence level.
Interest rate risk for our other subsidiaries is not materially significant.insignificant.

As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank held equity securities in an aggregate amount of ￦3,480W2,068 billion in its non-trading accounts, including equity securities in the amount of ￦598W419 billion that it held, among other reasons, for management control purposes and as a result of debt-to-equity conversion as a part of reorganization proceedings of the companies to which it had extended loans.
As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank held Won-denominated convertible bonds in an aggregate amount of ￦16.0W46 billion and Won-denominated bonds with warrants in an aggregate amount of ￦6.3W1.9 billion, in each
case, in its non-trading accounts. Shinhan Bank does not measure equity risk with respect to convertible bonds or bonds with warrants and the interest rate risk of these bondsequity-linked securities are measured together with the other debt securities. As such, Shinhan Bank measures interest rate risk VaRs but not equity risk VaRs for these equity-linked securities.

Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk is the risk of insolvency, default or loss due to disparity between inflow and outflow of funds, including the risk of having to obtain funds at a high price or to dispose of securities at an unfavorable price due to lack of available funds or losing attractive investment opportunities.funds. Each of our subsidiaries seeks to minimize liquidity risk through early detection of risk factors related to the sourcing and managing of fundingfunds that may cause volatility in liquidity and by ensuring that it maintains an appropriate level of liquidity through systematic management. At the group-wide level, we manage our liquidity risk by conducting monthly stress tests that compare liquidity requirements under normal situations against those under three types of stress situations, namely, our group-specific internal crisis, crisis in the external market and a combination of internal and external crisis. In addition, in order to preemptively and comprehensively manage liquidity risk, we measure and monitor liquidity risk management using various indices, including the “limit management index”, “early warning index” and “monitoring index”.
Shinhan Bank applies the following basic principles for liquidity risk management:
raise fundingfunds in sufficient amounts, at the optimal time at reasonable costs;
maintain liquidity risk at appropriate levels and preemptively manage them through a prescribed risk limit system and an early warning signal detection system;
secure stable sources of revenue and minimize actual losses by implementing an effective asset-liability management system based on diversified sources of funding with varying maturities;
monitor and manage daily and intra-daily liquidity positions and risk exposures for timely payment and settlement of financial obligations due under both normal and crisis situations;
conduct periodic contingency analysis in anticipation of any potential liquidity crisis and establish and implement emergency plans in case of a crisis actually happening;an actual crisis; and
consider liquidity-related costs, benefits of and risks in determining the pricing of our products and services, employee performance evaluations and approval of launching of new products and services.
Each of our subsidiaries manages liquidity risk in accordance with the risk limits and guidelines established internally as well as by the relevant regulatory authorities. Pursuant to principal regulations applicable to financial holding companies and banks as promulgated by the Financial Services Commission, we, at the holding company level, are required to keepmaintain specific Won and foreign currency liquidity ratios. These ratios require us to keepmaintain the ratio of liquid assets to liquid liabilities above certain minimum levels.
Shinhan Bank manages its liquidity risk within the limits set on Won and foreign currency accounts in accordance with the regulations of the Financial Services Commission. The Financial Services Commission requires Korean banks to maintain a Won liquidity ratio of at least 100.0% and a foreign currency liquidity ratio of at least 85.0%. The Financial Services Commission defines the foreign currency liquidity ratio as foreign currency-denominated liquid assets (including marketable securities) due within three months divided by foreign
currency-denominated liabilities, in each case, due within three months. As for the Won liquidity ratio, the Financial Services Commission defines it as all Won-denominated assets divided by all Won-denominated liabilities, in each case, that are on the balance sheet and inor arise from off-balance sheet derivative transactions with remainingoutstanding maturities of less than one month, except that (i) Won-denominated trading and available-for-sale securities with remaining termsoutstanding maturities of one month or more are included as Won liquid assets at their fair market value to the extent that such securities are marketable and have not been provided as collateral, and (ii) Won-denominated demand deposits with no fixed maturity are included as Won liquid liabilities in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the standard deviation of the monthly weighted average balance during the preceding 12-month period multiplied by 2.33 (such product, the “non-core” deposits) and (y) 15% of “core” deposit (meaning the monthly average balance of the most recent month prior to the time of determination), less the “non-core” deposits.
The monthly weighted average balance for the preceding 12-month period is calculated using the following formula:
The standard deviation of the monthly weighted average balance during the preceding 12-month period is calculated using the following formula:
The weighed period coefficients for the applicable month are set forth below:

The breakdown of financial instruments by contractual maturities for purposes of analyzing liquidity risk as set forth in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements was prepared based on the relevant line items presented in Shinhan Bank’s statement of financial position. In comparison, the breakdown of financial instruments by contractual maturities for purposes of analyzing liquidity gap as set forth above was prepared based on the Banking Regulations promulgated by the Financial Services Commission.
For the most part, the criteria used for determining the remaining maturities on these two sections are the same, the primary exception being in respect of demand deposits. Under IFRS, all demand deposits are categorized as having maturities of less than one month; however, under the Banking Regulations, demand deposits are categorized as having maturities of less than one month in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the non-core deposits and (y) 15% of core deposits. Shinhan Bank’s total demand deposit balance as of December 31, 20122014 was ￦47,149W62,085 billion of which ￦45,610W55,866 billion was classified as core deposits and ￦9,043W14,736 billion was classified as Won liquid liabilities (namely, liabilities with maturities of less than one month based on the formula under the Banking Regulations).
Shinhan Bank’s Treasury Department is in charge of liquidity risk management with respect to Shinhan Bank’s Won and foreign currency funds. The Treasury Department submits Shinhan Bank’s monthly funding and asset management plans to Shinhan Bank’s ALMAsset and Liability Committee for approval, based on the analysis of various factors, including macroeconomic indices, interest rate and foreign exchange movements and maturity structures of Shinhan Bank’s assets and liabilities. Shinhan Bank’s Risk Management Department measures Shinhan Bank’s liquidity ratio and liquidity gap ratio on a daily basis and reports on a monthly basis whether they are in compliance with the limits to Shinhan Bank’s ALMRisk Policy Committee, on a monthly basis.which sets and monitors Shinhan Bank’s liquidity ratio and liquidity gap ratio.

Shinhan Bank maintains diverse sources of liquidity to facilitate flexibility in meeting its funding requirements. Shinhan Bank funds its operations principally by accepting deposits from retail and corporate depositors, accessing the call loan market (a short-term market for loans with maturities of less than one month), issuing debentures and borrowing from the Bank of Korea. Shinhan Bank uses the funds primarily to extend loans or purchase securities. Generally, deposits are of shorter average maturity than loans or investments.
Shinhan Card manages its liquidity risk according to the following principles: (i) it must be able to provide a sufficient volume of necessary funding in a timely manner at a reasonable cost, (ii) it must establish an overall liquidity risk management strategy, including in respect of liquidity management targets, policy and internal control systems, and (iii) it must manage its liquidity risk in conjunction with other risks based on a comprehensive understanding of the interaction among the various risks. As for any potential liquidity shortage at or near the end of each month, Shinhan Card maintains liquidity at a level sufficient to withstand credit shortage for three months.
In addition, Shinhan Card manages liquidity risk by definingsetting and managingcomplying with specific guidelines for various measures of liquidity, including the breakdown of contractual payment obligations by maturity, overseas funding, the ratio of asset-backed securitized borrowings to the total borrowing, the ratio of requisite liquidity to reserve liquidity, and the ratio of fixed interest rate borrowings to floating interest rate borrowings. Furthermore, Shinhan Card closely monitors various indicators of a potential liquidity risk,crisis, such as the actual liquidity gap ratio (in relation to the different maturities for assets as compared to liabilities), the liquidity buffer ratio, the maturity repayment ratio, the ratio of actual funding compared to budgeted funding and the ratio of asset-backed securities to total borrowings, at different risk levels of “caution”, “unstable” and “at risk”, and weratio. Shinhan Card also havehas contingency plans in place in case of any emergency or crisis. In managing its liquidity risks,risk, Shinhan Card focuses on a prompt response system based on periodic monitoring of the relevant early signals, stress testing and contingency plan formulations. Shinhan Card identifies its funding needs on a daily, monthly, quarterly and annual basis based on the maturity schedule of its liabilities as well as short-term liquidity needs, based upon which it formulates its funding plans using diverse sources such as corporate debentures, commercial papers, asset-backed securitizations and credit line facilities. Shinhan Card also has in place master asset-backed securitization arrangements through which it can securitize assets with minimum delay, and whenWhen entering into asset-backed securitizations, itShinhan Card provides sufficient credit enhancements to avoid triggering early amortization events. In addition, prior to entering into any funding transaction and related derivative transaction, Shinhan Card formulates long-term funding plans with a time horizon of three years, enters into derivative arrangements to hedge interest rate- and foreign currency-related risks and conducts pre-transaction risk analyses, before entering into any new typeincluding in respect of derivative arrangements.counterparty credit risk and its total exposure limit by country and by financial institution.
Furthermore, Shinhan Card also manages its liquidity risk within the limits set on Won accounts in accordance with the regulations of the Financial Services Commission. Under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act and the regulations thereunder, credit card companies in Korea are required to maintain a Won liquidity ratio of at least 100.0%.
The following tables show Shinhan Card’s liquidity status and limits for Won-denominated accounts as of December 31, 20122014 in accordance with the regulations of the Financial Services Commission.

Shinhan Investment manages its liquidity risk for its Won-denominated accounts by setting a limit of ￦100W100 billion on each of its seven-day and one-month liquidity gap, a limit of 110% on its three-months liquidity ratio and a limit of ￦10W8 billion on its liquidity VaR. As for its foreign currency-denominated accounts, Shinhan Investment manages the liquidity risk on a quarterly basis in compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Service, which requires the one-week and one-month maturity mismatch ratios to be 0% and -10% or less, respectively, and the three months liquidity ratio to be 80% or higher.
Our other subsidiaries fund their operations primarily through call money, bank loans, commercial paper, corporate debentures and asset-backed securities. Our holding company acts as a funding vehicle for long-term financing of our subsidiaries whose credit ratings are lower than the holding company, including Shinhan Card and Shinhan Capital, to lower the overall funding costs within regulatory limitations. Under the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act of Korea, however, a financial holding company is prohibited from borrowing funds in excess of 200% of its total stockholders’ equity.
In addition to liquidity risk management under the normal market situations, we have contingency plans to effectively cope with possible liquidity crisis. Liquidity crisis arises when we would not be able to effectively manage the situations with our normal liquidity management measures due to, among other reasons, inability to access our normal sources of funds or epidemic withdrawals of deposits as a result of various external or internal factors, including a collapse in the financial markets or abrupt deterioration of our credit. We have contingency plans corresponding to different stages of liquidity crisis, “cautionarycrisis: namely, “alert stage,” “near-crisis“imminent-crisis stage” and “crisis stage,” based on the following liquidity indices:
indices that reflect the market movements such as interest rates and stock prices;
indices that reflect financial market psychology such assentiments, an example being the size of money market funds; and
indices that reflect our internal financialliquidity condition.
Operational Risk Management
Operational risk is difficult to quantify and subject to different definitions. The Basel Committee defines operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from other external events. Similarly, we define operational risk as the risks related to our overall management other than credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. These include risks arising from system failure, human error, or non-adherence to policy and procedures, from fraud, or inadequate internal controls and procedures or from environmental changes and resulting in financial and non-financial loss, including reputational loss. We monitor and assess operational risks related to our business operations, including administrative risk, information technology risk (including cyber security risk), managerial risk legal risk and reputationlegal risk, with a view to minimizing such losses.
Our holding company’s Audit Committee, which consists of four outside directors, two of whom are accounting or financial experts as required by internal control regulations under the Financial Holding Company Act, oversees and monitors our operational compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also oversees management’s operations and may, at any time it deems appropriate, demand additional operations-related reporting from management and inspectinspects our asset condition. At the holding company level, we define each subsidiary’s operational process and establish an internal review system applicable to each subsidiary. Each subsidiary’s operational risk is internally monitored and managed at the subsidiary level and the
Group Internal Audit Department at our holding company, which reports to our Audit Committee, continuously monitors the integrity of our subsidiaries’ operational risk management system. Our holding company’s board of directors and the Group Risk Management Committee establish our basic policies for operational risk management at the group level. The Group Internal Audit Department at our holding company is directly responsible for overseeing our operational risk management with a focus on legal, regulatory, operational and reputational risks. The Group Internal Audit Department audits both our and our subsidiaries’ operations and asset condition in accordance to our annual audit plan, which is approved by the Audit Committee, and submits regular reports to the Audit Committee pursuant to our internal reporting system. If the Group Internal Audit Department discovers any non-compliance with operational risk procedures or areas of weaknesses, it promptly alerts the business department in respect of which such non-compliance was discovered and demands implementation of corrective measures. Implementation of such corrective measures is subsequently reviewed by the Group Internal Audit Department.
To monitor and manage operational risks, Shinhan Bank maintains a system of comprehensive policies and has in place a control framework designed to provide a stable and well-managed operational environment throughout the organization. Currently, the primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with our banking operational risk procedures remains with each of the business units and operational teams. In addition, the Audit Department, the Risk Management Department and the Compliance Department of Shinhan Bank also play important roles in reviewing and maintaining the integrity of Shinhan Bank’s internal control environment.
The operational risk management system of Shinhan Bank is managed by the operational risk team under the Risk Management Department. The current system principally consists of risk control self-assessment, risk quantification using key risk indicators, loss data collection, scenario management and operational risk capital
measurement. Shinhan Bank operates several educational and awareness programs designed to familiarizehave all of its employees to be familiar with this system. In addition, Shinhan Bank has a designated operational risk manager at each of its departments and branch offices, serving the role ofwho serves as a coordinator between the operational risk team at the headquarters and the employees in the fieldfront office and seeking to provide centralized feedback to further improve the operational risk management system.
As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank has conducted risk control self-assessments on its departments as well as domestic and overseas branch offices, from which it collects systematized data on all of its branch offices, and uses the findings from such self-assessments to improve the procedures and processes for the relevant departments or branch offices. In addition, Shinhan Bank has accumulated risk-related data since 2003, improved the procedures for monitoring operational losses and is developing risk simulation models. In addition, Shinhan Bank selects and monitors, at the department level, approximately 183196 key risk indicators.
Shinhan Investment, through its operational risk management system, conducts self-assessments of risks, collects loss data and manages key risk indicators. The operational risk management system is supervised by its audit department, compliance department and operational risk management department, as well as a risk management officer in each of Shinhan Investment’s departments.
The audit committee of Shinhan Bank, which consists of three outside directors, is an independent inspection authority that supervises Shinhan Bank’s internal controls and compliance with established ethical and legal principles. The audit committee performs internal audits of, among other matters, Shinhan Bank’s overall management and accounting, and supervises its Audit Department that assists Shinhan Bank’s audit committee. Shinhan Bank’s audit committee also reviews and evaluates Shinhan Bank’s accounting policies and their changes, financial and accounting matters and fairness of financial reporting.
Shinhan Bank’s Audit Committee and the Audit Department supervise and perform the following audits:
general audits, including full-scale audits performed annually for the overall operations, sectional audits of selected operations performed when necessary,as needed, and periodic and irregular spot audits;
special audits, performed when the Audit Committee or standing auditor deems it necessary or pursuant to requests by the chief executive officer or supervisory authorities such as the Financial Supervisory Service;
day-to-day audits, performed by the standing auditor for material transactions or operations that are subject to approval by the heads of Shinhan Bank’s operational departments or senior executives;
real-time monitoring audits, performed by the computerized audit system to identify any irregular transactions and take any necessary actions; and
self-audits as a self-check by each operational department to ensure its compliance with our business regulations and policies, which include daily audits, monthly audits and special audits.
In addition to these audits and compliance activities, Shinhan Bank’s Audit Department designates operational risk management examiners to monitor the appropriateness of operational risk management frameworks and the functions and activities of the board of directors, relevant departments and business units, and conducts periodic checks on the operational risk and reports such findings. Shinhan Bank’s Audit Department also reviews in advance proposed banking products or other business or service plans with a view to minimizing operational risk.
As for Shinhan Investment, its audit department conducts an annual inspection as to whether the internal policy and procedures of Shinhan Investment relating to its overall operational risk management are being effectively complied. The inspection has a particular focus on the appropriateness of the scope of operational risks and the collection, maintenance and processing of relevant operating data. Shinhan Investment, through its operational risk management system, also conducts self-assessments of risks, collects loss data and manages key risk indicators. The operational risk management system is supervised by its audit department, compliance department and operational risk management department, as well as a risk management officer in each of Shinhan Investment’s departments.
General audits, special audits, day-to-day audits and real-time monitoring audits are performed by our examiners, and self-audits are performed by the self-auditors of the relevant operational departments.
In addition to internal audits and inspections, the Financial Supervisory Service conducts general annual audits of our and our subsidiaries’ operations. The Financial Supervisory Service also performs special audits as the need arises on particular aspects of our and our subsidiaries’ operations such as risk management, credit monitoring and liquidity. In the ordinary course of these audits, the Financial Supervisory Service routinely issues warning notices where it determines that a regulated financial institution or such institution’s employees have failed to comply with the applicable laws or rules, regulations and guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Service. We and our subsidiaries have in the past received, and expect in the future to receive, such notices and we have taken and will continue to take appropriate actions in response to such notices. For example, in June 2010, the Financial Supervisory Service issued a notice to implement certain remedial measures and accordingly, Shinhan Bank implemented a policy to issue balance certificates as part of its “Fund Deposit Balance Information Service” and improved its operational processes, including establishing more detailed parameters to define each unit manager’s internal control responsibilities, scope and periods. In addition, in July 2012, the Financial Supervisory Service issued an institutional warning in relation to an embezzlement case involving Dongah Construction Industrial Co., Ltd. on the grounds that there were misconduct in payment of funds held in the trust account and mismanagement of internal control. For detailed description of the Dongah Construction case, please see “Item 8.A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Legal Proceedings.”
The Financial Supervisory Service conducted a comprehensive audit of Shinhan Bank from November to December 2012, and in July 2013, notified Shinhan Bank of an institutional caution, imposed disciplinary actions against 65 Shinhan Bank employees and assessed a fine ofW87.5 million after finding that Shinhan Bank had illegally monitored customer accounts, breached confidentiality with respect to certain financial transactions and violated its obligation to disclose and report an investment in an affiliated company to the Financial Services Commission. Furthermore, in March 2013 the Financial Supervisory Service conducted a special audit of Shinhan Bank as to an alleged malfunctioning of its financial computer network and in December 2013, notified Shinhan Bank of an institutional caution and imposed disciplinary actions against five Shinhan Bank employees after finding that Shinhan Bank did not properly maintain its information technology administrator account and vaccine server.
The Financial Supervisory Service also conducted a special audit of Shinhan Card, together with BC Card and KB Kookmin Card, from June to July 2013, in relation to alleged imperfect sales of insurance products, and in March 2014, issued an institutional warning against each of the three credit card companies based on a finding that card customers were provided inadequate or misleading disclosures regarding the risks relating to such products at the time of sale. The Financial Supervisory Service also imposed disciplinary actions against three Shinhan Card employees and assessed a fine ofW10 million against Shinhan Card as well as similar sanctions against BC Card and KB Kookmin Card. In December 2014, the Financial Supervisory Service also issued institutional cautions against Shinhan Life for selling insurance products without adequate disclosure and for incomplete payments of agency fees, together with a fine ofW338 million in relation to the former case.
We consider legal risk as a part of operational risk. The uncertainty of the enforceability of obligations of our customers and counterparties, including foreclosure on collateral, creates legal risk. Changes in laws and regulations could also adversely affect us. Legal risk is higher in new areas of business where the law is often untested in the courts although legal risk can also increase in our traditional business to the extent that the legal and regulatory landscape in Korea is changingchanges and many new laws and regulations governing the banking industry remain untested. We seek to minimize legal risk by using stringent legal documentation, employing procedures designed to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and consulting legal advisers. The Compliance Department operates Shinhan Financial Group’s compliance system. This system is designed to ensure that all employees of Shinhan Financial Group and its subsidiaries comply with the law.relevant laws and regulations. The compliance system’s main function is to monitor the degree of improvement in compliance with the law,relevant laws and regulations, maintain internal controls (including ensuring that each department has established proper internal policies and that it complies with those policies) and educate employees about observance of the law.relevant laws and regulations. The Compliance Department also supervises the management, execution and performance of self-audits.
Upgrades of Risk Management System
Our recent material upgrades in relation to risk management systems are as follows.
Shinhan Bank
In order to strengthen risk management of its overseas subsidiaries and effectively comply with local and domestic regulations, Shinhan Bank is in the process of laying out a global risk management system network, which records the risk data of its overseas subsidiaries. Shinhan Bank seeks to leverage the development of this system for further overseas expansion and stable growth of existing overseas subsidiaries. To-date, Shinhan Bank has completed the development of such system for its subsidiaries in China, Japan, Vietnam, the United States, Canada and Japan in 2012,India and plans to expand the application of this system to its other overseas subsidiaries.
Shinhan Bank has also completed development of a system to calculate stressed VaR based on Basel II standards in order to prepare for stress situations such as the global financial crisis in 2008. Shinhan Bank has received approval for such system from the Financial Supervisory Service and has been implemented since 2012.
In 2012, Shinhan Bank also developed a system for improving collection and recovery of bad assets through enhanced loss given default (LGD)(“LGD”) data processing.

Supervision and Regulation
Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies
General
The Korean financial holding companies and their subsidiaries are regulated by the Financial Holding Companies Act (last amended on June 8, 2010,May 28, 2014, Law No. 10361). In addition, Korean financial holding companies and their subsidiaries are subject to the regulations and supervision of the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service.
Pursuant to the Financial Holding Companies Act, the Financial Services Commission regulates various activities of financial holding companies. For instance, it approves the application for setting up a new financial holding company and promulgates regulations on the capital adequacy of financial holding companies and their subsidiaries and other regulations relating to the supervision of financial holding companies.
The Financial Supervisory Service is subject to the instructions and directives of the Financial Services Commission and carries out supervision and examination of financial holding companies and their subsidiaries. In particular, the Financial Supervisory Service sets forth liquidity and capital adequacy requirements for financial holding companies and reporting requirements pursuant to the authority delegated to the Financial Supervisory Service under the Financial Services Commission regulations, pursuant to which financial holding companies are required to submit quarterly reports on business performance, financial status and other matters prescribed in the Presidential Decree of the Financial Holding Companies Act.
Under the Financial Holding Companies Act, the establishment of a financial holding company must be approved by the Financial Services Commission. A financial holding company is required to be mainly engaged in controlling its subsidiaries by holding the shares or equities of the subsidiaries in the amount of not less than 50% of aggregate amount of such financial holding company’s assets based on the latest balance sheet. A financial holding company is prohibited from engaging in any profit-making businesses other than controlling the management of its subsidiaries and certain ancillary businesses as prescribed in the Presidential Decree of the Financial Holding Companies Act which include the following businesses:
financially supporting its subsidiaries and the subsidiaries of its subsidiaries (the “direct and indirect subsidiaries”);
raising capital necessary for the investment in subsidiaries or providing financial support to its direct and indirect subsidiaries;
supporting the business of its direct and indirect subsidiaries for the joint development and marketing of new product and the joint utilization of facilities or IT systems; and
pursuing any other activities exempted from authorization, permission or approval under the applicable laws and regulations.
The Financial Holding Companies Act requires every financial holding company (other than any financial holding company that is controlled by any other financial holding company) or its subsidiaries to obtain the prior approval from the Financial Services Commission before acquiring control of another company or to file with the Financial Services Commission a report within thirty days after acquiring such control. Permission to liquidate or to merge with any other company must be obtained in advance from the Financial Services Commission. A financial holding company must report to the Financial Services Commission regarding certain events including:
when there is a change of its officers;
when there is a change of its largest shareholder;
when there is a change of principal shareholders of a bank holding company;
when the shareholding of the largest shareholder or a principal shareholder as prescribed under the Financial Holding Companies Act or a person who is in a special relationship with such largest or principal shareholder (as defined under the Presidential Decree of the Financial Holding Companies Act) changes by 1% or more of the total issued and outstanding voting shares of the financial holding company;
when there is a change of its name;
when there is a cause for dissolution; and
when it or its subsidiary ceases to control any of its respective direct and indirect subsidiaries by disposing of the shares of such direct and indirect subsidiaries.
Capital Adequacy
The Financial Holding Companies Act does not provide for a minimum paid-in capital of financial holding companies. All financial holding companies, however, are required to maintain a specified level of solvency. In addition, in its allocation of the net profit earned in a fiscal term, a financial holding company is required to set aside in its legal reserve an amount equal to at least 10% of the net income after tax each time it pays dividends on its net profits earned until its legal reserve reaches at least the aggregate amount of its paid-in capital.
A financial holding company controlling banks or other financial institutions conducting banking business as prescribed in the Financial Holding Company Act (hereinafter, the “bank holding company”) is required to maintain a minimum consolidated equity capital ratio of 8.0%. “Consolidated equity capital ratio” is defined as the ratio of equity capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets on a consolidated basis, determined in accordance with the Financial Services Commission requirements that have been formulated based on the Bank of International Settlements standards. “Equity capital,” as applicable to bank holding companies, is defined as the sum of Tier I capital, Tier II capital, and Tier III capital less any deductible items, each as defined under the Regulation on the Supervision of Financial Holding Companies. “Risk-weighted assets” is defined as the sum of credit risk-weighted assets and market risk-weighted assets.
For regulatory reporting purposes, we maintain allowances for credit losses on the following loan classifications that classify corporate and retail loans as required by the Financial Services Commission. In making these classifications, we take into account a number of factors, including the financial position, profitability and transaction history of the borrower, the value of any collateral or guarantee taken as security for the extension of credit, probability of default and loss amount in the event of default. This classification method, and our related provisioning policy, is intended to reflect the borrower’s capacity to repay. To the extent there is any conflict between the Financial Services Commission guidelines and our internal analysis in such classifications, we adopt whichever is more conservative.
The following table sets forth loan classifications according to the guidelines of the Financial Services Commission.
Loan Classification | Loan Characteristics | |
Normal | Loans made to customers whose financial position, future cash flows and nature of business are deemed financially sound. No problems in recoverability are expected. | |
Precautionary | Loans made to customers whose financial position, future cash flows and nature of business show potential weakness, although there is no immediate risk of nonrepayment. | |
Substandard | Loans made to customers whose adverse financial position, future cash flows and nature of business have a direct effect on the repayment of the loan. | |
Doubtful | Loans made to customers whose financial position, future cash flows and nature of business are so weak that significant risk exists in the recoverability of the loan, to the extent the outstanding amount exceeds any collateral pledged. | |
Estimated loss | Loans where write-off is unavoidable. | |
In accordance with the Regulations for the Supervision of Financial Institutions, we establish regulatory reserve for loan loss in the amount of the difference between allowance for credit losses as calculated pursuant to
our provisioning policy in accordance with IFRS and allowance for credit losses based on the loan classifications set forth above as required by the Financial Services Commission. In determining consolidated equity capital ratio, we deduct regulatory reserve for loan loss from equity capital.
Liquidity
All financial holding companies are required to match the maturities of their assets to those of liabilities in accordance with the Financial Holding Companies Act in order to ensure liquidity. Financial holding companies are required to submit quarterly reports regarding their liquidity to the Financial Supervisory Service and must:

However, “non-financial business group companies” (as defined below) may not acquire beneficial ownership of shares of a bank holding company in excess of 9%4% of such financial holding company’s outstanding voting shares, provided that such non-financial business group companies may acquire beneficial ownership of up to 10% of such financial holding company’s outstanding voting shares with the approval of the Financial Services Commission under the condition that such non-financial business group companies will not exercise voting rights in respect of such shares in excess of the 9%4% limit.

Also, in the event a person (whether a Korean national or a foreigner, but excluding persons prescribed under the Presidential Decree to the Financial Holding Companies Act) (i) acquires in excess of 4% of the total voting shares issued and outstanding of any financial holding company (other than a financial holding company controlling regional banks only), (ii) becomes the largest shareholder of such financial holding company in which such person acquired in excess of 4% of the total voting shares issued and outstanding, or (iii) has its shareholding in such financial holding company, in which it had acquired in excess of 4% of the total voting shares issued and outstanding shares, changed by not less than 1% of the total voting share issued and outstanding of such financial holding company, a report as prescribed by the Presidential Decree to the Financial Holding Companies Act shall be filed with the Financial Services Commission.
“Non-financial business group companies”are defined under the Financial Holding Companies Act as the companies, which include:

Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act
General
The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act categorizes capital markets-related business into six different functions, as follows:
dealing (trading and underwriting of “financial investment products” (as defined below));
brokerage (brokerage of financial investment products);
collective investment (establishment of collective investment schemes and the management thereof);
investment advice;
discretionary investment management; and
trusts (together with the five business set forth above, the “Financial Investment Businesses”).
Accordingly, all financial business relating to financial investment products are reclassified as one or more of the Financial Investment Businesses described above, and financial institutions are subject to the regulations applicable to their relevant Financial Investment Businesses, irrespective of the type of the financial institution it is. For example, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, derivative businesses conducted by securities companies and future companies will be subject to the same regulations under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, at least in principle.
The banking business and insurance business are not subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and will continue to be regulated under separate laws; provided, however, that they may
become subject to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act if their activities involve any financial investment businesses requiring a license based on the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
Comprehensive Definition of Financial Investment Products
In an effort to encompass the various types of securities and derivative products available in the capital markets, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act sets forth a comprehensive term “financial investment products,” defined to mean all financial products with a risk of loss in the invested amount (in contrast to “deposits,” which are not financial investment products for which the invested amount is protected or preserved). Financial investment products are classified into two major categories: (i) “securities” (relating to financial investment products where the risk of loss is limited to the invested amount) and (ii) “derivatives” (relating to financial investment products where the risk of loss may exceed the invested amount). As a result of the general and open-ended manner in which financial investment products are defined, any future financial product could potentially fall under the definition of financial investment products, which would enable Financial
Investment Companies (as defined below) to handle a broader range of financial products. Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, securities companies, asset management companies, futures companies and other entities engaging in any Financial Investment Business are classified as “Financial Investment Companies.”
License System
Financial Investment Companies are able to choose what Financial Investment Business to engage in (through the “check the box” method set forth in the relevant license application), by specifying the desired (i) Financial Investment Business, (ii) financial investment product and (iii) target customers to which financial investment products may be sold (namely, general investors or professional investors). Licenses will be issued under the specific business sub-categories described above. For example, it would be possible for a Financial Investment Company to obtain a license to engage in the Financial Investment Business of (i) dealing (ii) over the counter derivatives products (iii) only with professional investors.
Expanded Business Scope of Financial Investment Companies
Under the previous regulatory regime in Korea, it was difficult for a financial institution to explore a new line of business or expand upon its existing line of business. For example, a financial institution licensed as a securities company generally could not engage in the asset management business. In contrast, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, pursuant to the integration of its current business involving financial investment products into a single Financial Investment Business, a licensed Financial Investment Company is permitted to engage in all types of Financial Investment Businesses, subject to compliance with the relevant regulations, for example, maintaining an adequate “Chinese Wall,” to the extent required. As to incidental businesses (i.e., a financial related business which is not a Financial Investment Business), the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act generally allows a Financial Investment Company to freely engage in such incidental businesses by shifting away from the previous system of permitting only the listed activities towards a more comprehensive system. In addition, a Financial Investment Company is permitted (i) to outsource marketing activities by contracting with “introducing brokers” that are individuals but not employees of the Financial Investment Company, (ii) to engage in foreign exchange business related to their Financial Investment Business and (iii) to participate in the settlement network, pursuant to an agreement among the settlement network participants.
Improvement in Investor Protection Mechanism
While the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act broadens the scope of financial businesses in which financial institutions are permitted to engage, a more rigorous investor-protection mechanism is imposed upon Financial Investment Companies dealing in financial investment products. The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act makes a distinction between general investors and sophisticated
investors and provides new or enhanced protections to general investors. For instance, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act expressly provides for strict know-your-customer rules for general investors and imposes an obligation on Financial Investment Companies that they should market financial investment products suitable to each general investor considering his or her personal attributes, including investment objective, net worth, and investment experience. Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a Financial Investment Company can be held liable if a general investor proves (i) damages or losses relating to such general investor’s investment in financial investment products solicited by such Financial Investment Company and (ii) absence of explanation, false explanation, or omission of material fact (without having to prove fault or causation). In case there are any conflicts of interest between the Financial Investment Companies and investors, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act expressly requires (i) disclosure of any conflict of interest to investors and (ii) mitigation of conflicts of interest to a comfortable level or abstention from the relevant transaction.
Other Regulatory Changes Related to Securities and Investments
The Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act brought changes to various rules in securities regulations including those relating to public disclosure, insider trading and proxy contests, which had previously been governed by the Securities and Exchange Act. For example, the 5% and 10% reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act have become more stringent under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. For instance, the numbers of events requiring an investor to update its 5% report have increased under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. Previously, only a change in the shareholding of 1% or more or in the purpose of shareholding (such as an intention to influence management) could trigger the obligation to update the 5% report. The Government has issued detailed regulations stipulating additional events requiring updates to 5% reports, such as the change in the type of holding and change in any major aspect of the relevant contract. As for the 10% report filing obligation, the initial filing is expected to be required to be made within five business days of the date of the event triggering the 10% reporting obligation, compared to 10 calendar days under the previous law. The due date for reporting a subsequent change after the initial 10% report filing has been reduced from the 10th day of the first month immediately following the month in which such change took place to five business days of the date of such change. Under the previous law, there had been a limitation on the type of investment vehicles that could be used in a collective investment scheme (namely, to trusts and corporations), the type of funds that could be used for collective investments, and the types of assets and investment securities a fund could invest in. However, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act significantly liberalizes these restrictions, permitting all legal entities, including limited liability companies or partnerships, to be used for the purpose of collective investments, allowing the formation of fund complexes and permitting investment funds to invest in a wide variety of different assets and investment instruments.
Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks
General
The banking system in Korea is governed by the Banking Act of 1950, as amended (the “Banking Act”) and the Bank of Korea Act of 1950, as amended (the “Bank of Korea Act”). In addition, Korean banks are subject to the regulations and supervision of the Bank of Korea, the Bank of Korea’s Monetary Policy Committee, the Financial Services Commission and its executive body, the Financial Supervisory Service.
The Bank of Korea, established in 1950 under the Bank of Korea Act, performs the customary functions of a central bank. It seeks to contribute to the sound development of the national economy by price stabilization through establishing and implementing efficient monetary and credit policies. The Bank of Korea acts under instructions of the Monetary Policy Committee, the supreme policy-making body of the Bank of Korea.
Under the Bank of Korea Act, the Monetary Policy Committee’s primary responsibilities are to formulate monetary and credit policies and to determine the operations, management and administration of the Bank of Korea. The Financial Services Commission, established in 1998, regulates commercial banks pursuant to the Banking Act, including establishing guidelines on capital adequacy of commercial banks, and promulgates
regulations relating to supervision of banks. Furthermore, pursuant to the Amendment to the Government Organization Act and the Banking Act in 1999, the Financial Services Commission, instead of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, now regulates market entry into the banking business.
The Financial Supervisory Service is subject to the instructions and directives of the Financial Services Commission and carries out supervision and examination of commercial banks. In particular, the Financial Supervisory Service sets requirements both for the prudent control of liquidity and for capital adequacy and establishes reporting requirements pursuant to the authority delegated to it under the Financial Services Commission regulations, pursuant to which banks are required to submit annual reports on financial performance and shareholdings, regular reports on management strategy and non-performing loans, including write-offs, and management of problem companies and plans for the settlement of bad loans.
Under the Banking Act, approval to commence a commercial banking business or a long-term financing business must be obtained from the Financial Services Commission. Commercial banking business is defined as the lending of funds acquired predominantly from the acceptance of deposits for a period not exceeding one year or, subject to the limitation established by the Financial Services Commission, for a period between one year and three years. Long-term financing business is defined as the lending, for periods in excess of one year, of funds acquired predominantly from paid-in capital, reserves or other retained earnings, the acceptance of deposits with maturities of at least one year, or the issuance of bonds or other securities. A bank wishing to enter any business other than commercial banking and long-term financing businesses, such as the trust business, must obtain approval from the Financial Services Commission. Approval to merge with any other banking institution, to liquidate, to close a banking business or to transfer all or a part of a business must also be obtained from the Financial Services Commission.
If the Korean government deems a bank’s financial condition to be unsound or if a bank fails to meet the applicable capital adequacy ratio set forth under Korean law, the government may order:
suspension of officers from performing their duties and appointment of custodians;
stock cancellations or consolidations;
transfers of a part or all of business;
sale of assets;
closures of subsidiaries or branch offices;
mergers or becoming a subsidiary under the Financial Holding Companies Act of a financial holding company;
acquisition of a bank by a third party;
suspensions of a part or all of business operation; or
assignments of contractual rights and obligations relating to financial transactions.
Capital Adequacy
The Banking Act requires nationwide banks to maintain a minimum paid-in capital of ￦100W100 billion and regional banks to maintain a minimum paid-in capital of ￦25W25 billion.
In addition to minimum capital requirements, all banks including foreign bank branches in Korea are required to maintain a prescribed solvency position. A bank must also set aside as its legal reserve an amount equal to at least 10% of its net profits after tax each time it pays dividends on net profits earned until such time when the reserve equals the amount of its total paid-in capital.
Under the Banking Act, the capital of a bank is divided into two categories: Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier I capital (core capital) consists of stockholders’(i) Tier I common equity capital including paid-in capital, capital surplus and retained earnings related to common equity and equity representing new types of equity securities deemedaccumulated other comprehensive gains and losses, and (ii) other Tier I capital, including paid-in capital and capital surplus related to be functionally equivalenthybrid Tier I capital instruments that, among other things, qualify as contingent capital and are subordinated to capital which are designated by the Financial Services Commission.subordinated debt. Tier II capital (supplementary capital) consists of revaluation reserves, gain on
valuation of investment in securities, allowance for bad debts set aside for loans classified as “normal” or “precautionary,” perpetual subordinated debt, cumulative preferred shares, redeemable preferred shares (with a right to redeem after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance) and certain other subordinated debt.
All banks must meet standards regarding minimum ratios of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to risk-weighted assets, determined in accordance with the Financial Services Commission requirements that have been formulated based on the Bank for International Settlement (“BIS”)BIS Standards. These standards were adopted and became effective in 1996. Under these regulations, all domestic banks and foreign bank branches were required to meet the minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to risk-weighted assets of 8%. In July and September 2013, the Financial Services Commission promulgated amended regulations implementing Basel III in Korea, pursuant to which Korean banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier I common equity capital to risk-weighted assets of 3.5% and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% from December 1, 2013, which minimum ratios were increased to 4.0% and 5.5%, respectively, from January 1, 2014 and increased further to 4.5% and 6.0%, respectively, from January 1, 2015. Such requirements are in addition to the pre-existing requirement of a minimum ratio of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, which remains unchanged. The amended regulations also contemplate an additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625% starting in 2016, with such buffer to increase in stages to 2.5% by 2019.
Under the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business and the Detailed Regulations promulgated thereunder, Korean banks apply the following risk-weight ratios in respect of their home mortgage loans:
(1) for those banks adopting a standardized approach for calculating credit risk capital requirements, the risk-weight ratio of 35% (if the loan is fully secured by a first ranking mortgage) and 50% (in the case of high-risk home mortgage loans); and
(2) for those banks adopting an internal ratings-based approach for calculating credit risk capital requirements, a risk-weight ratio calculated with reference to the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, each as defined in the Detailed Regulations on the Supervision of the Banking Business.
In Korea, Basel II, a convention entered into by the Basel committee in 2004 for the purpose of improving risk management and increasing capital adequacy of banks, was implemented beginning in 2008. Pursuant to Basel II, operational risk, such as inadequate procedure, loss risk by employees, internal system, occurrence of unexpected event, as well as credit risk and market risk, is taken into account in calculating the risk-weighted assets, in addition to maintaining the capital adequacy ratio of 8% for banks. Under Basel II, the capital requirements for credit risk can be calculated by the internal rating based (IRB) approach or the standardized approach.
Under the standardized approach, a home mortgage loan fully secured by a residential property, which is or will be occupied by a borrower, is risk-weighted at 35%.
Under the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, banks generally must maintain allowances for credit losses in respect of their outstanding loans and other credits (including confirmed guarantees and acceptances and trust account loans) in an aggregate amount covering not less than:
0.85% of normal credits (or 0.9% in the case of normal credits comprising loans to certain industries including construction, retail and wholesale sales, accommodations, restaurant, real estate and lease, and 1.0% in the case of normal credits comprising loans to individuals and households, 2.5% in the case of normal credits comprising card loan assets and revolving assets and 1.1% in the case of normal credits comprising other card assets in the case ofsuch as claims arising from the use of a credit card, a debit card or a prepaid card (“other card assets”));
7% of precautionary credits (or 10% in the case of precautionary credits comprising loans to individuals and households, 50% in the case of precautionary credits comprising card loan assets and revolving assets and 40% in the case of other card assets in the case of card assets);
20% of substandard credits (or 65%10% in the case of substandard credits comprising assets for which a bank has the right to receive repayment in preference (“assets subject to preferential repayment”) under
the Corporate Restructuring Promotion Act or the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act, 65% in the case of substandard credits comprising card loan assets and revolving assets and 60% in the case of substandard credits comprising other card assets); |
50% of doubtful credits (orcomprising assets subject to preferential repayment, 55% in the case of doubtful credits comprising loans to individuals and households and 75% in the case of doubtful credits comprising other card assets); and
100% of estimated loss credits.
Furthermore, under the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, banks must maintain allowances for credit losses in respect of their confirmed guarantees (including confirmed acceptances) and outstanding non-used credit lines as of the settlement date in an aggregate amount calculated at the same rates applicable to normal, precautionary, substandard and doubtful credits comprising their outstanding loans and other credits as set forth above.
Liquidity
All banks are required to match the maturities of their assets and liabilities in accordance with the Banking Act in order to ensure adequate liquidity. Banks may not invest in excess of an amount exceeding 60%100% of their Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) in stocks and other securities with a period remaining to maturity of over three years. However, this restriction does not apply to government bonds or to Monetary Stabilization Bonds issued by the Bank of Korea.
The Financial Services Commission requires each Korean bank to maintain a Won liquidity ratio (defined as Won assets due within one month, including marketable securities, divided by Won liabilities due within one month) of not less than 100% and to make monthly reports to the Financial Supervisory Service. The Financial Services Commission also requires each Korean bank to (1) maintain a liquidity coverage ratio of 80% or higher from January 1, 2015 until December 31, 2015 with such minimum liquidity coverage ratio to increase in increments of 5% per year to 100% by 2019, by holding a stock of highly-liquid assets with a value equal to or greater than such bank’s total net cash outflows over a month period, subject to certain exceptions, (2) maintain a foreign-currency liquidity ratio due within three months (defined as foreign-currency liquid assets due within three months divided by foreign-currency liabilities due within three months) of not less than 85%, (2)(3) maintain a ratio of foreign-currency liquid assets due within seven days (defined as foreign-currency liquid assets due within seven days less foreign-currency liabilities due within seven days, divided by total foreign-currency assets) of not less than negative 3% and (3), (4) maintain a ratio of foreign-currency liquid assets due within a month (defined as foreign-currency liquid assets due within a month less foreign currency liabilities due within a month, divided by total foreign-currency assets) of not less than negative 10%., and (5) submit monthly reports with respect to the maintenance of these ratios. The Financial Services Commission also requires each Korean bank to submit monthly reports with respect to its compliance with these ratios.
The Monetary Policy Committee is authorized to fix and alter minimum reserve requirements that banks must maintain against their deposit liabilities. The current minimum reserve ratio is 7.0% of average balances for Won-denominated demand deposits outstanding, 0.0% of average balances for Won-denominated employee asset establishment savings deposits, employee long-term savings deposits, employee house purchase savings deposits, long-term house purchase savings deposits, household long-term savings deposits and employee preferential savings deposits outstanding and 2.0% of average balances for Won-denominated time and savings deposits, mutual installments, housing installments and certificates of deposit outstanding. For foreign currency deposit liabilities, a 2.0% minimum reserve ratio is applied to savings deposits outstanding and a 7.0% minimum reserve ratio is applied to demand deposits, while a 1.0% minimum reserve ratio is applied for offshore accounts, immigrant accounts and resident accounts opened by foreign exchange banks.
Loan-to-Deposit Ratio
In 2009, the Financial Supervisory Service announced that it would introduce a new set of regulations on the loan-to-deposit ratio by amending the Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business (“RSBB”) upon its determination that the overall liquidity of banks in Korea had become unstable due to the ongoing increase in the loan-to-deposit ratio resulting from banks expanding their asset size too competitively by granting mortgages on houses and loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises over the last couple of years. The RSBB,Regulation on the Supervision of the Banking Business, which was amended as of August 18, 2010 and is scheduled to take effect frombecame effective on January 1, 2014, requires banks with Won-denominated loans of more than ￦2W2 trillion in value to maintain a ratio of Won-denominated loans to Won-denominated deposits lower than 1:1. In practice, however, the Financial Supervisory Service instructed relevant banks to comply with this newly enacted loan-to-deposit ratio by the end of June 2012. Shinhan Bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio as of December 31, 20122014 was 98%98.0%.
Financial Exposure to Any Single Customer and Major Shareholders
Under the Banking Act, the sum of material credit exposures by a bank, namely, the total sum of its credits to single individuals, legal entities or groups of companies belonging to the same enterprise groups as defined in the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act that exceed 10% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions), must not exceed five times the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions), subject to certain exceptions. Subject to certain exceptions, no bank is permitted to extend credit (including loans, guarantees, purchases of securities (only in the nature of a credit) and such other transactions which directly or indirectly create credit risk) in excess of 20% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital
deductions) to a single individual or a legal entity, and no bank may grant credit in excess of 25% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to a single group of companies that belong to the same enterprise group as defined in the Monopoly Regulations and Fair Trade Act.
Under the Banking Act, certain restrictions apply to extending credits to a major shareholder. The definition of a “major shareholder” is as follows:
a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with such shareholder as defined in the Presidential Decree of the Banking Act) in excess of 10% (or in the case of regional banks, 15%) in the aggregate of the bank’s total issued and outstanding voting shares; or
a shareholder holding (together with persons who have a special relationship with such shareholder as defined in the Presidential Decree of the Banking Act) more than 4% in the aggregate of the total issued and outstanding voting shares of a bank (other than a regional bank), where such shareholder is the largest shareholder or is able to actually control the major business affairs of the bank, for example, through appointment and dismissal of the chief executive officer or of the majority of the executives.
Under the Banking Act, banks are prohibited from extending credits in the amount greater than the lesser of (1) 25% of the sum of such bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) and (2) the relevant major shareholder’s shareholding ratio multiplied by the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) to a major shareholder (together with persons who have special relationship with such major shareholder as defined in the Presidential Decree of the Banking Act). Also, no bank is allowed to grant credit to its major shareholders in the aggregate in excess of 25% of its Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions).
When managing the credit risk of banks, among the methods for providing credit support by banks, a loan agreement, a purchase agreement for asset-backed commercial papers, purchase of subordinate beneficiary certificates, and assumption of liability by providing warranty against default under asset-backed securitization are examples of creating financial exposure to banks.
Interest Rates
Korean banks remain dependent on the acceptance of deposits as their primary source of funds. Currently, there are no legal controls on interest rates on bank loans in Korea except for thea cap of 39%34.9% on the default interest rate under the Act on Lending Business.Business, which cap will remain effective until December 31, 2015.
Lending to Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises
When commercial banks (including Shinhan Bank) make Won-denominated loans to certain start-up, venture, innovative and other strategic small- and medium-sized enterprises specially designated by the Bank of Korea as “priority borrowers”, the Bank of Korea generally provides the underlying funding to these banks at concessionary rates for up to 50% of all such loans made to the priority borrowers subject to a monthly-adjusted limit prescribed by the Bank of Korea (currently ￦5W5 trillion)provided that if such loans to priority borrowers made by all commercial banks exceed the prescribed limit for a given month, the concessionary funding for the following month will be allocated to each commercial bank in proportion to such bank’s lending to priority borrowers two months prior to the time of such allocation, which has the effect that, if a particular bank lags other banks in making loans to priority borrowers, the amount of funding such bank can receive from the Bank of Korea at concessionary rates will be proportionately reduced.
Disclosure of Management Performance
For the purpose of enforcing mandatory disclosure of management performance so that the general public, especially depositors and stockholders, will be in a better position to monitor banks, the Financial Services Commission requires commercial banks to disclose certain matters as follows:
loans bearing no profit made to a single business group in an amount exceeding 10% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) as of the end of the previous month (where
• | loans bearing no profit made to a single business group in an amount exceeding 10% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) as of the end of the previous month (where the loan exposure to such borrower is calculated as the sum of substandard credits, doubtful credits and estimated loss credits) except where the loan exposure to a single business group is not more than |
occurrence of any financial event involving embezzlement, malfeasance or misappropriation of funds the amount of which exceeds 1% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions), unless the bank has lost or expects to lose not more than ￦1 billion as a result thereof, or the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service has made a public announcement regarding such an occurrence; and
| • | occurrence of any financial event involving embezzlement, malfeasance or misappropriation of funds, for which the damage amount is expected to exceed |
| • | any loss due to court judgments or similar decisions in civil proceedings in an amount exceeding 1% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) as of the end of the previous month except where the loss is not more than |
any loss due to court judgments or similar decisions in civil proceedings in an amount exceeding 1% of the sum of the bank’s Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions) as of the end of the previous month except where the loss is not more than ￦1 billion.
Restrictions on Lending
According to the Banking Act, commercial banks are prohibited from making any of the following categories of loans:
loans made directly or indirectly on the pledge of a bank’s own shares (subject to certain exceptions with respect to financing for infrastructure projects);
loans made directly or indirectly to enable a natural or a legal person to buy the bank’s own shares; and
| • | loans made to any of the bank’s officers or employees other than de minimis loans of up to (1) |
Recent Regulations Relating to Retail Household Loans
The Financial Services Commission implemented a number of changes in recent years to the mechanisms by which a bank evaluates and report its retail household loan balances and has proposed implementing further changes. Due to a rapid increase in the number of loans secured by homes and other forms of housing, the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service implemented regulations designed to curtail extension of new or refinanced loans secured by housing, including the following:
as to loans madesecured by collateral of housing (regardless of housing type or location) to anybe amortized over the period of ten years, the bank’s officersloan-to-value ratio should not exceed 70%; provided, that the loans (i) have a fixed rate of interest with (a) redemption period/term of not more than one year and (b) debt-to income ratio of not more than 40%, and (ii) within one year, have either (x) plans for sale to Korea Housing Finance Corporation, or employees other than de minimis(y) separate securitization plans;
| • | as to loans secured by apartments located in areas of high speculation as designated by the government, (i) the loan-to-value ratio for loans with a maturity of not more than ten years should not exceed 40%; and (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for loans with a maturity of more than ten years should not exceed (a) 40%, if the price of such apartment is over |
| • | as to loans secured by apartments with appraisal value of more than |
Restrictions on Investments in Property
A bank may possess real estate property if and only to the extent necessary for conducting its business; provided that the aggregate value of such real estate property must not exceed 60% of the sum of its Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions). Any property acquired by a bank (1) through the exercise of its rights as a secured party or (2) the acquisition of which is prohibited by the Banking Act must be disposed of within one year, subject to certain exceptions.
Restrictions on Shareholdings in Other Companies
Under the Banking Act, a bank may not own more than 15% of shares outstanding with voting rights of another company, except where, among other reasons:
the company issuing such shares is engaged in a business that falls under the category of financial businesses set forth by the Financial Services Commission (including companies which business purpose is to own equity interests in private equity funds); or
the acquisition of shares by the bank is necessary for corporate restructuring of such company and is approved by the Financial Services Commission.
In the above cases, a bank must satisfy either of the following requirements:
thebank’s total investment in companiesa company in which the bank owns more than 15% of theshares outstanding shares with voting rights does(“subsidiary”) shall not exceedexceed:
if the acquisition satisfiesbank and its subsidiary, after consideration of their managerial condition, satisfy the requirements determinedprescribed and published by the Financial Services Commission.
The Banking Act provides that a bank using its bank accounts and its trust accounts is not permitted to acquire the shares issued by the Major Shareholder of such bank in excess of an amount equal to 1% of the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital (less any capital deductions).
Restrictions on Bank Ownership

The securities business is regulated and governed by the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. Financial investment companies are under the regulation and supervision of the Financial Services Commission, the Financial Supervisory Service and the Securities and Futures Commission.
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a financial investment company may engage in dealing, brokerage, collective investment, investment advice, discretionary investment management or trust businesses if it has obtained relevant licenses from the Financial Services Commission.

The terms “Net Operating Equity” and “Total Risk” for the purpose of the above-stated formula are defined and elaborated in the regulations of the Financial Services Commission. Generally, the Net Operating Equity, and the Total Risk and the Equity Capital Maintenance Requirement for Each Service Unit are to be calculated according to the following formula:
Net Operating Equity = Net assets (total assets-totalassets – total liabilities)-the – the total of items that may be deducted + the total of items that may be addedadded;
Total Risk = market risk + counterparty risk + management riskrisk; and
Equity Capital Maintenance Requirement for Each Service Unit = Mandatory Equity Capital to be Required for Each Licensed Service Unit × 70%
The regulations of the Financial Services Commission requires, among other things, financial investment companies to maintain the net operating equity ratio at a level equal to or higher than 150%100% at the end of the each quarter of the fiscal year.

Principal Regulations Applicable to Insurance Companies
General
Insurance companies are regulated and governed by the Insurance Business Act, as amended (the “Insurance Business Act”). In addition, insurance companies in Korea are under the regulation and supervision of the Financial Services Commission and its governing entity, the Financial Supervisory Service.
Under the Insurance Business Act, approval to commence an insurance business must be obtained from the Financial Services Commission based on the type of insurance businesses, which are classified as life insurance business, non-life insurance business and third type insurance business. Life insurance business means an insurance business which deals with life insurance policies or pension insurance policies (including retirement insurance policies). Non-life insurance business means an insurance business which deals with fire insurance policies, marine insurance policies, car insurance policies, guaranty insurance policies, reinsurance policies, liability insurance policies or other insurance policies prescribed under the Presidential Decree of the Insurance Business Act. Third type insurance business means an insurance business which deals with injury insurance policies, health insurance policies or nursing care insurance policies. Under the Insurance Business Act, insurance companies are not allowed to engage in both a life insurance business and a non-life insurance business, subject to certain exceptions.
If the Korean government deems an insurance company’s financial condition to be unsound or if an insurance company fails to properly manage the business as set forth under relevant Korean law, the government may order certain sanctions including, among others, sanctions against an insurance company or its officers or employees, capital increase or reduction and a suspension or assignment of a part or all of business operation.
Capital Adequacy
The Insurance Business Act requires a minimum paid-in capital of ￦30W30 billion for an insurance company; provided, that, the insurance company which intends to engage in only certain types of insurance policies may have a lower paid-in capital pursuant to the Presidential Decree of the Insurance Business Act.
In addition to the minimum capital requirement, an insurance company is required to maintain a Solvency Margin Ratio of 100% or more. “Solvency Margin Ratio” is the ratio of the Solvency Margin to the Standard Amount of the Solvency Margin. Solvency Margin is the aggregate amount of paid-in capital, reserve for dividends to policyholders, allowance for bad debt and subordinated debt amount and others similar thereto as set out in the regulation of the Financial Services Commission, less non-amortized acquisition costs, goodwill and others similar thereto as appearing in the regulation of the Financial Services Commission. The Standard Amount of Solvency Margin for life insurance companies is defined under the regulation of the Financial Services Commission and is required to comply with the risk based capital regime.
Under the Insurance Business Act, the Presidential Decree and other regulations thereunder, for each accounting period, insurance companies are required to appropriate policy reserve that is earmarked for future payments of insurance money, refund and dividends to policyholders (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Insurance Money”) for each insurance contract. However, if an insurance company has reinsured a portion of its insurance contracts with a creditworthy reinsurance company in order to lower its overall risk, in principle, the insurance company is not required to appropriate policy reserve for the reinsured contracts. Instead, the reinsurance company is required to appropriate such policy reserve for the reinsured contracts. However, if an insurance company transfers more than 50% of its risk to a reinsurance company, the amount of risk transferred in excess of 50% will be disallowed for purposes of calculating the solvency margin ratio. In particular, if the ratio of the risks transferred to the reinsurance company to the total risks insured by an insurance company exceeds 50%, such insurance company will be required to have net assets in relation to such risks transferred in excess of the 50% threshold for purposes of the solvency margin requirement. The Insurance Business Act was amended on January 24, 2011 to classify the insurance products into two categories: (i) reportable insurance products and (ii) voluntary insurance products. Under this amendment, only the changes to the terms and
conditions of the reportable insurance products require a prior report and approval from the Financial Supervisory Service and the voluntary insurance products can be sold without prior approval from the Financial Supervisory Service. The policy reserve needs to be appropriated in accordance with the policy reserve calculation method for each insurance product as stipulated in amended Insurance Business Act.
The policy reserve amount consists of the following: (i) premium reserves and prepaid insurance premiums which are calculated under the methods determined by the written calculation methods for insurance premiums and policy reserves by insurance types or by lapses of insurance period, with regard to the contracts for which the causes for payment of the Insurance Money have yet to occur as of the end of each accounting period; (ii) amounts for which a lawsuit is pending on the Insurance Money or amounts for which a payment has been fixed with regard to the contracts for which the causes for payment of Insurance Money have occurred as of the end of each accounting period, and amounts which have not been paid yet due to an unsettled amount for paying the Insurance Money, even if the causes for payment of the Insurance Money have already occurred; and (iii) amounts reserved by an insurance company for allocation to policyholders.
Pursuant to the regulations established by the Financial Services Commission, insurance companies are required to maintain allowances for outstanding loans, accounts receivables and other credits (including accrued income, payment on account, and bills receivables or dishonored) in an aggregate amount covering not less than 0.5% of normal credits, 2% of precautionary credits, 20% of substandard credits, 50% of doubtful credits and 100% of estimated loss credits, provided that the minimum ratio of allowances for certain type of outstanding loans by insurance companies to individuals and households (including, retail loans, housing loans, and other forms of retail loans extended to individuals not registered for business), is increased to 1% of normal credits, 10% of precautionary credits and 55% of doubtful credits . Furthermore, the regulations on insurance companies became more stringent in September 2010 by adding a requirement that insurance companies maintain allowance for bad debts in connection with real estate project financing loans in excess of 0.9% of normal credits and 7% of precautionary credits.
Variable Insurance and Bancassurance Agents
Variable insurance is regulated pursuant to the Insurance Business Act and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. In order for an insurance company to sell variable insurance to a policyholder and operate such variable insurance, the insurance company must obtain a license with respect to collective investment business from the Financial Services Commission and register as a selling company with the Financial Services Commission. In this case, according to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, an insurance company will be regulated as an investment trust and assets acquired in connection with variable insurance must be held by a trust company that is registered with the Financial Services Commission pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
According to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, insurance companies may operate variable insurance through (i) mandating all of the management and the management instruction business to another asset management company, (ii) operating by way of discretionary investment all of the assets constituting the investment advisory assets out of the investment trust assets, or (iii) operating all of the investment trust assets into other collective investment securities, thereby allowing all of the particular variable insurance assets to be outsourced.
The Insurance Business Act permits banks, securities companies, credit card companies and other financial institutions to register as insurance agents or insurance brokers and engage in the insurance business (the “Bancassurance Agents”), who are currently permitted to sell all types of life and non-life insurance products, except for protection type insurance products, such as whole life insurance, critical illness insurance and automobile insurance.
Restrictions on Investment of Assets
According to the Insurance Business Act, insurance companies are prohibited from making any of the following investment of assets:
owning any real estate (excluding any real estate owned as a result of enforcing their own security interest) other than real estate for conducting its business as designated by the Presidential Decree. In any
case, the total amount of real estate owned by an insurance company must not exceed 15% of its Total Assets, provided that investment in real estate for a separate account is limited to 15% of the assets of such separate account;
|
loans made for the purpose of speculation in commodities or securities;
loans made directly or indirectly to enable a natural or legal person to buy their own shares;
loans made directly or indirectly to finance political campaigns and other similar activities; and
loans made to any of the insurance company’s officers or employees other than loans based on insurance policy or de minimis loans of up to (1) ￦20 million in the case of a general loan, (2) ￦50 million in the case of a general loan plus a housing loan, or (3) ￦60 million in the aggregate for general loans, housing loans and loans to pay damages arising from wrongful acts of employees in financial transactions.
| • | loans made to any of the insurance company’s officers or employees other than loans based on insurance policy or de minimis loans of up to (1) |
In addition, insurance companies are not allowed to exceed the following limits in making the following investments:
with respect to holding foreign currency under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act or owning offshore real estate, 30% of its Total Assets; and
with respect to the sum of margins for a futures exchange designated by the Presidential Decree or a foreign futures exchange, and commitment amounts of over-the-counter derivatives must not exceed 6% of its Total Assets, provided that the over-the-counter derivative trades are limited to 3%. The derivatives trades of a separate account are limited to 6% of the assets of separate account, provided that the over-the-counter derivatives trades are limited to 3%.
Regulations on Class Actions Regarding Securities
The Law on Class Actions Regarding Securities was enacted as of January 20, 2004 and last amended on May 28, 2013. The Law on Class Actions Regarding Securities governs class actions suits instituted by one or more representative plaintiff(s) on behalf of 50 or more persons who claim to have been damaged in a capital markets transaction involving securities issued by a listed company in Korea.
Applicable causes of action with respect to such suits include:
Any such class action may be instituted upon approval from the presiding court and the outcome of such class action will have a binding effect on all potential plaintiffs who have not joined the action, with the exception of those who have filed an opt out notice with such court.
U.S. Regulations
As substantially all of our, and our subsidiaries’, operations are in Korea, we are primarily subject to the regulations and supervision of the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service. Our subsidiaries, however, have limited operations in the United States, and we own a bank in the United States. Therefore, we and our U.S. operations are subject to U.S. supervision, regulation and enforcement by relevant authorities in the United States with regard to our U.S. operations.
U.S. Banking Regulations
Our operations in the United States are subject to a variety of regulatory regimes. Shinhan Bank maintains an uninsured branch in New York, which is licensed by the stateNew York State Department of Financial Services (“Department”) and registered with the banking authority of the State of New York.Korea. Shinhan Bank’s New York branch is subject to regulation and examination by the Department under its licensing authority, the New York State Department of Financial Services (“Department”).authority. In addition, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) exercises examination and regulatory authority over Shinhan Bank’s U.S. branch. We also own a non-member state chartered bank, Shinhan Bank America, which is regulated by the Department, as its chartering authority, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as its primary federal banking regulator and as the insurer of its deposits. Our U.S. branch and U.S. bank subsidiary are subject to restrictions on their respective activities, as well as prudential restrictions, such as limits on extensions of credit to a single borrower, and restrictions on transactions with affiliates, among other things. We are also a financial holding company and a bank holding company under U.S. banking laws and our U.S. operations are subject to regulation, supervision and enforcement by the Federal Reserve.
Shinhan Bank’s U.S. Branch
The Department, as the licensing authority of Shinhan Bank’s U.S. branch, has the authority, in certain circumstances, to take possession of the business and property of Shinhan Bank located in New York. Such circumstances generally include violations of law, unsafe business practices and insolvency. If the Department exercised this authority over the New York branch of Shinhan Bank, all assets of Shinhan Bank located in New York would generally be applied first to satisfy creditors of the New York branch. Any remaining assets would be applied to satisfy creditors of other U.S. offices of Shinhan Bank, after which any residual assets of the New York branch would be returned to the principal office of Shinhan Bank, and made available for application pursuant to any Korean insolvency proceeding.
Financial Holding Company
Because we operate a U.S. branch and have a subsidiary bank in the U.S., our nonbanking activities in the United States are subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve pursuant to the International Banking Act of 1978, the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHC Act”), and other laws. We have elected to be a “financial
holding company” under the BHC Act. Financial holding companies may engage in a broader spectrum of activities than bank holding companies or foreign banking organizations that are not financial holding companies, including underwriting and dealing in securities. To maintain our financial holding company status, (i) we and our U.S. subsidiary bank located in New York are required to be “well capitalized” and “well managed”, (ii) our U.S. branch and our U.S. subsidiary bank located in New York are required to meet certain examination ratings, and (iii) our subsidiary bank in New York is required to maintain a rating of at least “satisfactory” under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (the “CRA”).
A major focus of U.S. governmental policy relating to financial institutions in recent years has been aimed at fighting money laundering and terrorist financing. Regulations applicable to us and our subsidiaries impose obligations to maintain effective policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identities of clients. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could have serious consequences for the firm, both in legal terms and in terms of our reputation.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which was enacted on July 21, 2010 in response to the financial crisis, impacts the financial services industry by addressing, among other issues, systemic risk oversight, bank capital standards, the liquidation of failing systemically significant important institutions, OTC derivatives, the ability of banking entities, including non-U.S. banks with branches in the U.S., like us, to engage in proprietary trading activities and invest in hedge funds and private equity (the so-called Volcker rule), consumer and investor protection, hedge fund registration, securitization, investment advisors, shareholder “say on pay,” the role of credit-rating agencies, and more. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal banking and financial regulatory authorities to adopt a broad range of implementing rules and regulations. Such authorities have significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations and, consequently, the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for years.
The Dodd-Frank Act provides regulators with tools to impose greater capital, leverage and liquidity requirements and other prudential standards, particularly for financial institutions that pose significant systemic risk and bank holding companies with greater than $50 billion in assets. In imposing such heightened prudential standards on non-U.S. banks such as us, the Federal Reserve Board is directed to take into account the principle of national treatment and equality of competitive opportunity, and the extent to which the foreign bank holding company is subject to comparable home country standards. In December 2012,February 2014, the Federal Reserve Board issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to applyfinal rules applying enhanced prudential standards and an early remediation framework to foreign banking organizations, or FBOs, like us with $50 billion or more in total global consolidated assets. The proposed rule would result infinal rules represent significant changes to the way that the U.S. operations of FBOs are supervised by the Federal Reserve within the United States. In particular, the proposal would:final rules:
require an FBO with both $50 billion or more in total global consolidated assets and combined U.S. assets (excluding the total assets of each U.S. branch and agency) of $10$50 billion or more to establish a U.S. top-tier intermediate holding company (“IHC”) over all U.S. bank and nonbank subsidiaries subject to the proposal;
subject an FBO’s IHC to the same capital adequacy standards, including minimum risk based capital and leverage requirements, as those applicable to U.S. bank holding companies;
require an FBO with combined U.S. assets of $50 billion or more to have its U.S. operations satisfy certain liquidity risk management standards, conduct liquidity stress tests, and maintain a 30-day buffer of highly liquid assets over specified time horizons, and an FBO with combined U.S. assets of less than $50 billion would be required to conduct an internal liquidity stress test and report the results to the Federal Reserve Board on an annual basis; and
|
The proposalfinal rules also includesinclude requirements relating to single-counterparty credit limits, overall risk management and debt-to-equity limits and early remediation for the U.S. operations of FBOs. FBOsImplementation of the final rules began June 1, 2014 with total global consolidated assets of $50 billion or more as ofthe most significant requirements to be implemented beginning July 1, 2014 will2016. Rules imposing single counterparty credit limits and early remediation requirements on FBOs have yet to be subject tofinalized. We are currently assessing the proposed rules starting on July 1, 2015. The full impact of these enhanced prudential requirements on our business will not be known with certainty until final regulations have been adopted.business.
Shinhan Bank America
Shinhan Bank America, a state chartered bank that is located in New York and is not a member of the Federal Reserve, is subject to extensive regulation and examination by the Department, as its chartering authority, and by the FDIC, as the insurer of its deposits and as its primary federal banking regulator. The federal and state laws and regulations which are applicable to banks regulate, among other things, the activities in which they may engage and the locations at which they may engage in them, their investments, their reserves against deposits, the timing of the availability of deposited funds and transactions with affiliates, among other things. Shinhan Bank America must file reports with the Department and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions, such as establishing branches and mergers with, or acquisitions of, other depository institutions. The Department and the FDIC periodically examine the bank to test Shinhan Bank America’s safety and soundness and its compliance with various regulatory requirements. This comprehensive regulatory and supervisory framework restricts the activities in which a bank can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC insurance fund and the bank’s depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves. Any change in such regulations, whether by the Department, the FDIC or as a result of the enactment of legislation, could have a material adverse impact on Shinhan Bank America and its operations.
Capital Requirements. The FDIC imposes capital adequacy standards on state-chartered banks like Shinhan Bank America. In order to be considered “adequately capitalized”, the FDIC’s current capital regulations require a minimum 3.0% Tier I leverage capital requirement for the most highly-rated state-chartered, non-member banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 basis points required for all other state-chartered, non-member banks, which effectively will increase the minimum Tier I leverage ratio for such other banks to 4.0%. Under the FDIC’s regulation, the highest-rated banks are those that the FDIC determines are not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and have well diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and, in general, which are considered a strong banking organization and are rated composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System. Tier I or core capital is defined as the sum of common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets other than certain qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain mortgage servicing rights.
The FDIC also requires that banks meet a risk-based capital standard. The current risk-based capital standard for banks requires, in order to be “adequately capitalized”, the maintenance of a ratio of total capital (which is defined as Tier I capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4%. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, plus certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks the FDIC believes are inherent in the type of asset or item. The components of Tier I capital are the same as for the leverage capital standard. The components of supplementary capital include certain perpetual preferred stock, certain mandatory convertible securities, certain subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock and general allowances for loan and lease losses. Allowance for loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of capital counted toward supplementary capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.
In order for our U.S. bank subsidiary to be classified as “well-capitalized”“well capitalized”, which is necessary in order for us to maintain our financial holding company status, it must have a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 5%, a Tier I risk-basedrisk-
based capital ratio of at least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. Furthermore, banks are generally encouraged to maintain even higher levels of capital during the current period of economic difficulty.
As of December 31, 2012,2014, Shinhan Bank America exceeded all of the capital ratio standards for a well-capitalizedwell capitalized bank with a Tier I leverage ratio of 10.91%13.41%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 16.82%18.83% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 18.09%20.80%.
The current FDIC capital adequacy guidelines will be modified in accordance with Basel III.“Basel III”. In June 2012,July 2013, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued three proposedfinal rules (the “Proposed“Final Rules”) that would substantially revise the federal banking agencies’ current capital rules and implement Basel III. The ProposedFinal Rules, if adopted, will, among other things, narrow the definition of capital, and increase capital requirements for specific exposures. They also include higher capital ratio requirements. In addition, consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act, they remove references to, or requirements of reliance on, credit ratings in the capital rules and replace them with alternative standards of creditworthiness. Although the final rules have not been released, based on the Proposed Rules, Shinhan Bank America’sAmerica has been subject to the Final Rules since January 1, 2015 and its current capital ratios are more than sufficient to satisfy any reasonably anticipated increase.the requirements set forth in the Final Rules.
Activities and Investments of New York-Chartered Banks. Shinhan Bank America derives its lending, investment and other authority primarily from the applicable provisions of New York State Banking Law and the regulations of the Department, as well as FDIC regulations and other federal laws and regulations. See “— Activities and Investments of FDIC-Insured State-Chartered Banks” below. These New York laws and regulations authorize Shinhan Bank America to invest in real estate mortgages, consumer and commercial loans, certain types of debt securities, including certain corporate debt securities and obligations of federal, State and local governments and agencies, and certain other assets. A bank’s aggregate lending powers are not subject to percentage of asset limitations, but, as discussed below, there are limits on the amount of credit exposure that a bank may have to a single borrower or group of related borrowers. A New York-chartered bank may also exercise trust powers upon approval of the Department. Shinhan Bank America does not have trust powers.
With certain limited exceptions, Shinhan Bank America may not make loans or extend credit for commercial, corporate or business purposes (including lease financing) to a single borrower, the aggregate amount of which would be in excess of 15% of Shinhan Bank America’s net worth, on an unsecured basis, and 25% of the net worth if the excess is collateralized by readily marketable collateral or collateral otherwise having a value equal to the amount by which the loan exceeds 15% of Shinhan Bank America’s net worth. In calculating the amount of outstanding loans or credit to a particular borrower for this purpose, Shinhan Bank America must include its credit exposure arising from derivative transactions with that borrower.
Activities and Investments of FDIC-Insured State-Chartered Banks. The activities and equity investments of FDIC-insured, state-chartered banks are generally limited to those that are permissible for national banks. Under regulations dealing with equity investments, an insured state bank generally may not directly or indirectly acquire or retain any equity investment of a type, or in an amount, that is not permissible for a national bank. An insured state bank may, among other things, (i) acquire or retain a majority interest in a subsidiary that is engaged in activities that are permissible for the bank itself to engage in, (ii) invest as a limited partner in a partnership the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction of a qualified housing project, provided that such limited partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank’s total assets, and (iii) acquire up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely provides or reinsures directors’, trustees’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage or bankers’ blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured depository institutions. In addition, an FDIC-insured state-chartered bank may not directly, or indirectly through a subsidiary, engage as “principal” in any activity that is not permissible for a national bank unless the FDIC has determined that such activities would pose no risk to the insurance fund of which it is a member and the bank is in compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements.
Regulatory Enforcement Authority. Applicable banking laws include substantial enforcement powers available to federal banking regulators. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against
banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties, as defined. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with regulatory authorities.
Under the New York State Banking Law, the Department may issue an order to a New York-chartered banking institution to appear and explain an apparent violation of law, to discontinue unauthorized or unsafe practices and to keep prescribed books and accounts. Upon a finding by the Department that any director, trustee or officer of any banking organization has violated any law, or has continued unauthorized or unsafe practices in conducting the business of the banking organization after having been notified by the Department to discontinue such practices, such director, trustee or officer may be removed from office by the Department after notice and an opportunity to be heard. The Department also may take possession of a banking organization under specified statutory criteria.
Prompt Corrective Action. Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take “prompt corrective action” to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators’ powers depends on whether the institution in question is “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized”. A bank is deemed to be (i) “well capitalized” if it has total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or more, has a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, has a Tier I leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or more and is not subject to specified requirements to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure, (ii) “adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or more and a Tier I leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of “well capitalized”, (iii) “undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or a Tier I leverage capital ratio that is less than 4.0% (3.0% under certain circumstances), (iv) “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0% or a Tier I leverage capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, and (v) “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. The regulations also provide that a federal banking regulator may, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, reclassify a “well capitalized” institution as “adequately capitalized” and may require an “adequately capitalized” institution or an “undercapitalized” institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category if the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice. The federal banking regulator may not, however, reclassify a “significantly undercapitalized” institution as “critically undercapitalized.”
An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan which meets specified requirements, as well as a performance guaranty by each company that controls the institution, with an appropriate federal banking regulator within 45 days of the date that the institution receives notice or is deemed to have notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” Immediately upon becoming undercapitalized, an institution becomes subject to statutory provisions, which, among other things, set forth various mandatory and discretionary restrictions on the operations of such an institution.
FDIC Insurance. Shinhan Bank America is a member of the FDIC. As insurer, the FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the FDIC.
In the past four years, there have been many failures and near-failures among financial institutions.institutions, although such failures have been declining in the United States in recent years. The FDIC insurance fund reserve ratio, representing the ratio of the fund to the level of insured deposits, declined due to losses caused by bank failures and the FDIC then increased its deposit insurance premiums on remaining institutions in order to replenish the insurance fund. The FDIC insurance fund balance increased throughout 2010 and turned positive in 2011. The
Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to increase the ratio of the FDIC insurance fund to estimated total insured deposits to 1.35% by September 30, 2020. If bank failures in the future are more costly than the FDIC currently anticipates, then the FDIC will be required to continue to impose higher insurance
premiums. Such an increase would increase our non-interest expense. Thus, despite the prudent steps Shinhan Bank America may take to avoid the mistakes made by other banks, its costs of operations may increase as a result of those mistakes by others.
As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC revised its deposit insurance premium assessment rates.rates in 2011. In general, the rates are applied to a bank’s total assets less tangible capital, in contrast to the former rule which applied the assessment rate to a bank’s amount of deposits. The FDIC believes that while the largest banks will face higher assessments under the new system than they would under the former system, most banks, including Shinhan Bank America, will pay a lower total assessment under the new system than they would have paid under the former system.
As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, the increase in the standard FDIC insurance limit from $100,000 to $250,000 was made permanent. Since the Dodd-Frank Act also authorized banks to pay interest on commercial demand deposits, commercial depositors currently must choose between earning interest on their demand deposits or having the benefit of unlimited deposit insurance coverage.
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including Shinhan Bank America, if it determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If insurance of accounts is terminated, the accounts at the institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing circumstances that would result in termination of Shinhan Bank America’s deposit insurance.
Brokered Deposits. Under federal law and applicable regulations, (i) a well capitalized bank may solicit and accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit without restriction, (ii) an adequately capitalized bank may not accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit unless it has applied for and been granted a waiver of this prohibition by the FDIC and (iii) an undercapitalized bank may not (x) accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit or (y) solicit deposits by offering an effective yield that exceeds by more than 75 basis points the prevailing effective yields on insured deposits of comparable maturity in such institution’s normal market area or in the market area in which such deposits are being solicited. The term “undercapitalized insured depository institution” is defined to mean any insured depository institution that fails to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirement prescribed by its appropriate federal banking agency. The FDIC may, on a case-by-case basis and upon application by an adequately capitalized insured depository institution, waive the restriction on brokered deposits upon a finding that the acceptance of brokered deposits does not constitute an unsafe or unsound practice with respect to such institution. Shinhan Bank America had an aggregate amount of $8.1US$5 million of brokered deposits outstanding at December 31, 2012.2014.
Community Reinvestment and Consumer Protection Laws. In connection with its lending activities, Shinhan Bank America is subject to a variety of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population. Included among these are the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Truth-in-Lending Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act and CRA.
The CRA requires FDIC insured banks to define the assessment areas that they serve, identify the credit needs of those assessment areas and take actions that respond to the credit needs of the community. The FDIC must conduct regular CRA examinations of Shinhan Bank America and assign it a CRA rating of “outstanding,” “satisfactory,
“satisfactory,” ��needs“needs improvement” or “unsatisfactory.” Shinhan Bank America is also subject to provisions of the New York State Banking Law which impose similar obligations to serve the credit needs of its assessment areas. The Department and the FDIC each periodically assess a bank’s compliance, and make the assessment available to the public. Federal and New York State laws both require consideration of these ratings when reviewing a bank’s application to engage in certain transactions, including mergers, asset purchases and the establishment of branch offices. A negative assessment may serve as a basis for the denial of any such application. Shinhan Bank America has received “satisfactory” ratings from both the Department and the FDIC.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“Bureau”) with broad authority to regulate and enforce consumer protection laws. The Bureau has the authority to adopt regulations under numerous existing federal consumer protection statutes. The Bureau may also decide that a particular consumer financial product or service, or the manner in which it is offered, is an unfair, deceptive, or abusive act or practice. If the Bureau so decides, it has the authority to outlaw such act or practice. The FDIC enforces the regulations of the Bureau with regard to Shinhan Bank America.
Limitations on Dividends. The payment of dividends by Shinhan Bank America is subject to various regulatory requirements. Under New York State Banking Law, a New York-chartered stock bank may declare and pay dividends out of its net profits, unless there is an impairment of capital, but approval of the Superintendent of Banks is required if the total of all dividends declared in a calendar year would exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to certain adjustments.
Assessments.Assessments. Banking institutions are required to pay assessments to both the FDIC and the Department to fund the operations of those agencies. The assessments are based upon the amount of Shinhan Bank America’s total assets. Shinhan Bank America must also pay an examination fee to the Department when they conductit conducts an examination.
Transactions with Related Parties. Shinhan Bank America’s authority to engage in transactions with related parties or “affiliates” (i.e., any entity that controls or is under common control with an institution) or to make loans to certain insiders is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A limits the aggregate amount of transactions with any individual affiliate to 10% of the capital and surplus of the institution and also limits the aggregate amount of transactions with all affiliates to 20% of the institution’s capital and surplus. The term “affiliate” includes, for this purpose, us and any company that we control other than Shinhan Bank America and its subsidiaries.
Loans to affiliates must be secured by collateral with a value that depends on the nature of the collateral. The purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. Loans and asset purchases with affiliates, must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. In the absence of comparable transactions, such transactions may only occur under terms and circumstances, including credit standards that in good faith would be offered to or would apply to nonaffiliated companies. Shinhan Bank America’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders, as well as entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Regulation O generally requires such loans to be made on terms substantially similar to those offered to unaffiliated individuals (except for preferential loans made in accordance with broad based employee benefit plans), places limits on the amount of loans Shinhan Bank America may make to such persons based, in part, on Shinhan Bank America’s capital position, and requires certain approval procedures to be followed.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. FDIC regulations require that Shinhan Bank America adopt procedures and systems designed to foster safe and sound operations in the areas of internal controls, information systems, internal and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth,
asset quality, earnings and compensation, fees and benefits. Among other things, these regulations prohibit compensation and benefits and arrangements that are excessive or that could lead to a material financial loss. If Shinhan Bank America fails to meet any of these standards, it will be required to submit to the FDIC a plan specifying the steps that will be taken to cure the deficiency. If it fails to submit an acceptable plan or fails to implement the plan, the FDIC will require it to correct the deficiency and until corrected, may impose restrictions on it.
The FDIC has also adopted regulations that require Shinhan Bank America to adopt written loan policies and procedures that are consistent with safe and sound operation, are appropriate for its size, and must be reviewed by its Board of Directors annually. Shinhan Bank America has adopted such policies and procedures, the material provisions of which are discussed above as part of the discussion of our lending operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this annual report. The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
| ITEM 5.A. | Operating Results |
Overview
We are one of the leading financial institutions in Korea in terms of total assets, revenues, profitability and capital adequacy, among others. Incorporated on September 1, 2001, we are the first privately-held financial holding company to be established in Korea. Since inception, we have developed and introduced a wide range of financial products and services in Korea and aimed to deliver comprehensive financial solutions to clients through a convenient one-portal network. According to reports by the Financial Supervisory Service, we are one of the three largest financial services providersprovider in Korea as measured by total assets as of December 31, 20122014 and operate the third largest banking business (as measured by consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2012)2014) and the largest credit card business (as measured by the total credit purchase volume as of December 31, 2012)2014) in Korea.
Most of our assets are located in, and we generate most of our income from, Korea. Accordingly, our business and profitability are largely dependent on the general economic and social conditions in Korea, including interest rates, inflation, exports, personal expenditures and consumption, unemployment, demand for business products and services, debt service burden of households and businesses, the general availability of credit, the asset value of real estate and securities and other factors affecting the financial well-being of our corporate and retail customers. The Korean economy is closely integrated with, and is significantly affected by, developments in the global economy and financial markets. In recent years, the global economy and financial markets experienced hardship, which also had a negative impact on the Korean economy and in turn on our business and profitability. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to our Banking Business — Difficult conditions and turbulence in the Korean and global economy and financial markets may adversely affect our business, asset quality, capital adequacy and earnings”.earnings.”
The ongoing fiscalIn particular, difficulties in financial and financial difficulties affecting Europe and elsewhereeconomic conditions could result in significant deterioration in the worldquality of our assets and the slow economic recovery in Koreaaccumulation of higher provisioning, allowances for loan losses and globally continue to present a number of difficulties and challenges for financial institutions in Korea, including us, particularly in the form of deterioration in asset qualitycharge-offs as an increasing number of our corporate borrowersand retail customers declare bankruptcy or insolvency or otherwise face liquidityincreasing difficulties in meeting their debt obligations. In addition, the continuing slump in the real estate market and are forcedthe shipbuilding and shipping industries has led to undergo restructuring, sometimes under the guidance of the Government. For example, Shinhan Bank’s delinquency ratio increased from 0.48% as of December 31, 2010 to 0.60% as of December 31, 2011 and 0.61% as of December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of increased delinquency among our corporate borrowers (including Kukdong Engineering & Construction Co. and Woongjin Holdings Co., Ltd., both of which applied for court receivership in September 2012), particularly in the construction, and real estate leasing, businessshipbuilding and shipping industries (and in certain cases, even insolvency, corporate restructurings and/or voluntary arrangements with creditors, as was the case for the current and former member companies of the STX Group, Keangnam Enterprises and Dongbu Steel, to each of which we have limited exposure). While we have sought to actively reduce our exposure to such troubled industries through preemptive risk management policies, we cannot assure you that we will not experience further loan losses from borrowers in these industries since the quality of their assets may further deteriorate due to the continued slump in the Korean real estate market. In contrast to the corporate section, the ongoing economic sluggishness has had a less severe impact on our retail businesses, particularly in our retail banking and credit card businesses. This was largely because our retail loans are mostly mortgage and home equity loans collateralized by residential properties and individuals and households traditionally are less prone to default on mortgage and home equity loans. Nonetheless,these industries or for other reasons. Shinhan Bank’s delinquency ratio for the retail sector(based on one or more month of delinquency) increased from 0.30% as of December 31,0.48% in 2010 to 0.39% as of December 31,0.60% in 2011 and 0.53% as of December 31,0.61% in 2012, before decreasing to 0.39% in 2013 and decreasing further to 0.31% in 2014 primarily due to Shinhan Bank’s active efforts to reduce its exposure to such troubled industries and other at-risk borrowers through preemptive risk management policies and increased delinquency among retaillending to borrowers in relation with high-quality credit profiles as part of Shinhan Bank’s strategic initiative

As for our credit card business, Shinhan Card’sCard, its delinquency ratio under the Financial Services Commission guidelines increased from 2.0% as of December 31,2.01% in 2010 to 2.3% as of December 31,2.27% in 2011 and 2.6%2.64% in 2012 largely as a result of December 31, 2012 due primarily to an increase in its operating assets.assets, before stabilizing to 2.15% and 2.18% in 2013 and 2014, respectively, largely as a result of its enhanced preemptive risk management and controlled asset growth as well as the sale of large non-performing loans to improve its asset quality.
We derive most of our income from interest earned on our corporate and retail loans, net of funding costs (which primarily consist of interest payable on customer deposits). Net interest income is largely a function of the average volume of loans and the net interest spread thereon. Since 2010 as
In 2013, the immediate impact of the recent global financial crisis subsided somewhat, our average volume of retail loans increased by 5.8% from 2012 largely due to an increase in long-term housing rental deposit loans in tandem with a rise in long-term housing rental prices and deposits increased. Thean increase in retail loans to high quality customers such as police officers and government employees, which more than offset a decrease in new home purchase mortgage loans due to the continued uncertainty in the outlook for the Korean housing market. In 2013, the average volume of corporate loans increased by 2.6%, largely as we continuedbecause corporate borrowers increasingly resorted to make secured housing loans while reducing exposure to unsecured lending, and corporate customers increasingly came to rely on bank loans as a source of funding due to difficulties in finding alternative sources of funding indebenture issuances through capital markets rather than bank borrowings as their primary funding source due to the credit crisisample liquidity in the Korean financial sector and the volatility in financial markets.
From 2010 to 2011,low interest rates available for such debentures. In 2014, the average rate on interest-earning assets increased faster than the average yield on interest-bearing liabilities and the volume effect (related to the net changes in the average balance of interest-earning assets relative to that of interest-bearing liabilities) outweighed the rate effect (related to the net changes in the average rate of interest payable on interest-earning assets relative to that of interest-bearing liabilities). Accordingly, Shinhan Bank’s net interest income increasedretail loans grew by 6.1% from ￦4,590 billion in 2010 to ￦4,971 billion in 2011. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased from ￦3,464 billion in 2010 to ￦4,324 billion in 2011 principally2013, largely due to a decreasecontinued increase in provision for loan losses resulting from a reductionlending to borrowers with high credit profiles and government employees with relatively strong job security (such as police officers and firefighters) as part of borrowers subjectour strategic initiative to restructuring due following a large-scale fast-track restructuring undertaken in 2010increase the volume of lending while maintaining or improving the profit margin and an overall improvement in asset quality for such lending, an increase in the volume of long-term housing rental deposit loans in tandem with a growing preference for long-term housing rental in lieu of home ownership due in part to the continued uncertainty in the outlook for the Korean real property market, and a substantial increase in the volume of housing mortgage loans in the second half of 2014 following the series of Government plans to stimulate the general economy and the real estate market through various monetary, fiscal and deregulatory measures as announced in the second half of 2014. In 2014, the average volume of corporate loans increased by 4.7% from 2013, largely due to Shinhan Bank’s enhanced risk management policies. As a result, Shinhan Bank’s operating income also increasedrelatively stable growth in loans to small- to medium-sized enterprises (which mainly resulted from ￦2,193 billionheightened marketing focus on the good-quality smaller-sized enterprises that are not required to be audited by outside directors) and loans to large corporations (which mainly resulted from an increase in 2010 to ￦2,673 billion in 2011.demand for facility loans and acquisition financing).
From 20112012 to 2012,2013, both the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased (with the former decreasing more sharply than the latter due to the relative difference in relative maturity profiles) while the average balance increased for both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Largely due to the greater decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets compared to that for the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities, Shinhan Bank’s net interest income decreased by 8.7% from ￦4,971W4,768 billion in 20112012 to ￦4,751W4,351 billion in 2012.2013. Net interest income after provision for loan losses amounted to ￦4,325W3,950 billion and ￦3,933W3,677 billion in 20112012 and 2012,2013, respectively. Shinhan Bank’s operating income also decreased by 17.2% from ￦2,673W2,078 billion in 20112012 to ￦2,071W1,720 billion in 2012.2013.
From 2013 to 2014, both the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased (with the former decreasing more than the latter due to the difference in relative maturity profiles), including as a result of the decreases in the base interest rate set by the Bank of Korea in August and October 2014, while the average balance increased for both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. While the base rate decreases in 2014 had the impact of substantially narrowing the interest rate spread, such impact was largely offset by the increase in the average balance of loans as discussed above. As a result, Shinhan Bank’s net interest income remained relatively stable fromW4,351 billion in 2013 toW4,367 billion in 2014. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased by 6.1% fromW3,677 billion in 2013 toW3,903 billion in 2014 due to a decrease in provisioning in reflection of the improvement of Shinhan Bank’s overall asset quality. Shinhan Bank’s operating income increased by 4.5% fromW1,720 billion in 2013 toW1,797 billion in 2014.
As for Shinhan Card, its net interest incomeoperating revenue is largely dependent on the transaction volume and less sensitive to interest rate movements than our banking business, since merchant fees (representing a fixed percentage of a credit card purchase amount) provide a stable source of income and our credit card business enjoys more diversified sources of funding, including commercial paper, corporate debentures (which have maturities longer than most bank deposit products) and asset-backed securitizations. The credit card transaction volume is largely dependent on the overall trends of the general Korean economy, such as general consumer spending patterns. As a result,patterns in Korea. Shinhan Card’s operating revenue for Shinhan Card increasedrevenues remained largely stable from to ￦4,264W4,599 billion in 20102012 to ￦4,526W4,615 billion in 2011,2013 and toW4,597 billion in 2014, in each case, largely due to increase in merchant fees collected due to an increase in the increased volume of credit card loans, and remained largely stable from ￦4,526 billionpurchases (especially through check cards), as well as an increase in 2011 to ￦4,599 billion in 2012, largely due to the increased volume of credit card loans, which waswere substantially offset by a reductiondecrease in merchant fee rates.the volume of cash advances. The volume of cash advances has been in a steady decline since 2013 after we ceased allowing installment repayments and a revolving facility for cash advances; partly as a result of a substitution effect, credit card loans have increased instead.
The following provides a discussion of the major trends surrounding the general economy and the financial services sector in Korea in 20122014 and our current outlook for 20132015 as they relate to our core businesses. The following discussion represents the subjective view of our management and may significantly differ from the actual results for 2013.2015.
Recent Developments and Outlook for Korean Economy
In 2012,During 2014, the global economy underwent divergent paths of growth, with the U.S. economy showing signs of stable and robust growth starting in the second half, while the rest of the world, such as China, Japan and Europe, experienced anemic growth or slowdown. Partly as a result of such developments, the U.S. government ended the quantitative easing program while China, Japan and Europe are likely to continue, if not strengthen, expansionary monetary policies. We expect such divergence to continue in 2015. As for the Korean economy grew atin 2014, it suffered a slow rate of 2.0% largely due to continued sluggishnesstemporary slowdown in export growththe first half due to the ongoing weakness in major developed economies as well asSewol ferry incident which chilled consumer spending, but rebounded to a cooling in domestic consumption in tandem with an increased levellimited extent on the back of household debt and continued sluggishnessthe government’s stimulus policies in the real property market. second half.
In order to mitigate the impact of deteriorating consumer and investor sentiment and unfavorable exchange rates and to stabilize2015, we expect that the Korean economy will post limited growth assuming continuation of expansionary monetary policies by the Korean government and growth in exports, particularly into the United States. However, significant uncertainties remain, including in the form of the magnitude and speed of the tightening of the money supply by the U.S. government, potential deflation in the Euro zone, slowdown in Chinese and other emerging market economies and the escalation of geopolitical concerns surrounding the Middle East and Russia, and the ensuing risks for the international financial markets and the global economy, any of which may have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy.
As for interest rate movements, in 2014 market interest rates generally declined in Korea due to sluggish domestic demand, low inflation level and inflow of foreign capital. In 2015, there was a further base interest rate decrease by the Bank of Korea incrementally loweredto a historic low of 1.75%. In light of such development and also the baseprojected modest growth of Korean economy in 2015, we expect that the low interest rate from 3.25%environment will generally continue in 2011 to 3.00%2015, assuming all other things equal, including no sudden and 2.75%substantial monetary tightening by governments in July and October of 2012, respectively. A decline in interest rates generally results in deterioration of Shinhan Bank’s net interest margin. See “—Interest Rates” below.
We do not expect the global economy to experience a drastic recovery in 2013. While the U.S. economy has experienced certain positive developments in its economic indicators, it continues to face high levels of unemployment and fiscal uncertainties, which may prevent it from experiencing rapid recovery. Europe is expected to continue to undergo fiscal austerity and deleveraging measures, which may lead to further deepening of the current recession, and there remains substantial uncertainty as to whether the fiscal and financial crisis in Europe will be favorably resolved. Chinese and Indian economies also show symptoms of cooling, and it remains unclear whether other emerging economies will be able to provide a buffer effect against the sluggishness in the major global markets, such as the United States and Europe.
Given the export-dependent nature of the Korean economy, the uncertainties in the global economic outlook are expected to continue to dampen chances for substantial economic growth in Korea, even if Korea becomes successful in controlling inflation. Accordingly, we expect the Korean economy to continue to post a low growth rate in 2013, and potentially a significantly lower rate compared to 2012, if the fiscal and financial crisis in Europe and elsewhere were to escalate and/or other major economies in the U.S.for policy or China were to remain stagnant.other reasons.
Recent Developments and Outlook for the Korean Financial Sector
Commercial Banking
In 2012,2014, major commercial banks in Korea generally experienced a positivemodest growth in totalterms of assets and revenues, principally due to a rebound in demand for loans from retail and corporate customers. The asset quality also improved to a limited extent in terms of both delinquency and non-performing loan volume,ratio. However, net interest margin generally tightened for the commercial banks largely due to a decrease in the base rates set by the Korean government as well as intensifying competition among Korean banks, particularly in relation to certain qualified fixed rate and installment payment loans.
In 2015, we expect Korean commercial banks to post modest loan growth in tandem with the expected growth in the overall Korean economy. We also expect the asset quality for Korean commercial banks to remain largely stable in 2015 in light of preemptive debt restructuring and conservative provisioning over the recent years. However, in the case of a sharp or sustained rise in interest rates including as a result of a monetary tightening by the U.S. government as currently expected, credit risk may significantly increase in light of the high level of household debt in Korea.
We are currently not aware of any major regulatory developments that may adversely affect the commercial banking industry in Korea. However, the prolonged low-interest rate environment has limited opportunities for commercial banks to generate profit by taking advantage of the differences between deposits and loans, and has fueled intense competition among major commercial banks for quality customers. Furthermore, as online service providers with large-scale user networks, such as Daum Kakao, make significant inroads in providing virtual payment services through a system based on a growing convergence of financial services and technology commonly referred to as “fintech”, competition for online customers is growing not just among commercial banks, but also from online service providers. Accordingly, the commercial banks are facing increasing pressure to upgrade their service platforms to attract and maintain online users, which represents a growing customer base compared to traditional customers who have primarily conducted banking in-person at physical banking branches.
Credit Cards
In 2014, credit companies in Korea generally experienced steady growth in profitability and stable asset quality, largely due to steadfast retail spending, cost-cutting measures undertaken by the credit card companies and stabilization in the delinquency ratio, notwithstanding the chilling effect of the Sewol ferry accident on consumer sentiment and the suspension of operation for certain card companies following accidental leaks of customer data.
In 2015, we expect that suchthe credit card companies will continue to record stable revenue and asset growth will be limited in 2013 due totandem with the growth in the overall Korean economy following fiscal and monetary stimulus by the Korean government. However, the expected sluggishnessrise in the global,cost of funding following the anticipated increase in base interest rates and in turn, Korean, economy. In termsthe risk of asset quality and profitability, Korean commercial banks generally experienced negative growth in 2012 due to the continued sluggishnessaggressive marketing, particularly among credit card companies in the real estatemid- to lower-tiers, may undercut the profitability of the credit card companies. In addition, given the already high level of household debt, an increase in interest rates may adversely impact the borrower’s ability to repay and other industries as well as the low interest-rate environment. In 2013, these banks may experience further reduced profitability duehence lead to an increase in delinquency and default rates and higher provisioning for loans, especially if the general economy continues to experience limited growth or remain stagnant overall.
On the regulatory side, we expect the Government to continue to introduce measures that are designed to further strengthen the asset quality of commercial banks as well as protect and assist consumers of financial services, including commercial banking services, such as by reducing or eliminating service fees. We believe that such measures will likely reduce asset growth and profitability of commercial banks, including Shinhan Bank.
We expect competition to further intensify in light of the recent acquisition of Korea Exchange Bank by Hana Financial Group and the expansion of retail operations by former specialized policy banks, such as National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and Industrial Bank of Korea. Competition is expected to be particularly intense in the area of asset management as more financial service providers enter into this business area to gain market share.
In light of the expected continuation of slow growth in the Korean economy in 2013, which may result in further deterioration of overall asset quality, coupled with the continued enhancement of regulatory scrutiny, we plan to continue to implement proactive risk management policies by conservatively managing loan growth and focusing on high-quality assets.
Credit Cards
We believe that in 2013, notwithstanding the sluggishness in the general economy and weakened consumer sentiment, the credit card market will likely continue to grow due to inflation and the regulatory incentives for making small purchases. However, profitability may suffer as a result of new regulations requiring reductions in merchant fees charged by credit companies and restrictions on leveraging, as well as a rise in delinquency due to the sluggishness in the general economy.delinquency.
On the regulatory side, the Government mayKorean financial regulators continue to introduce new measures designed to restrict issuancesenhance protection of new credit cardsfinancial service consumers, and to automatically cancel inactive credit cards, which together may limitparticularly so in the overall credit card limit. In addition,aftermath of the Government is considering measures to bolster the useaccidental leaks of debit cards (in lieu of credit cards)customer data by way of tax incentives, which may curtail interest income generated from credit card use.
As for competition, due to restrictive regulations, competition is unlikely to intensify further but existingcertain credit card companies may adopt more aggressive marketing campaigns to maintain or increase their market share, and new regulations restricting excessive marketing expenses may be ineffective in curtailing such aggressive campaigns.

As a result, we expectfor the credit card industry to experience a slowdown in revenue growth and profitability, and the ability to attract high quality customers, provide new product offerings, improve efficiency in marketing and customer service, expand incidental services and strengthen our risk managementcompetition, competition is expected to be key in maintaining revenueremain intense given that the Korean credit card market is mature and profitability growth in 2013.
Securities
In 2012, amid increased stock market volatility2014, securities companies in Korea experienced a slight turnaround after years of difficulties related to decreases in trading volume and low interest-ratebrokerage fee rates, largely due to a rise in the KOSPI index in the second half and an increase in sales of equity/debt-linked products in part as a result of the sustained low-interest rate environment in Korea. However, the marketKorean securities brokerage industry remains overcrowded, and competition remains intense, particularly in the traditional securities brokerage services, although there recently has been an increase in consumer appetite for asset management services grew substantially as investors sought a more balanced and stable pool ofstructured investment products, such as portfolio investment products known as “wrap” accounts, equity and debt linked securities and monthly investment returnequity/debt-linked products.
In 2013,2015, we believe securities firms will continue to focus on the asset management services market by offering new products and services. In addition, under changed regulations,expect the securities industry will also see the introductioncompanies on average to experience improvements in profitability largely as a result of hedge funds and prime brokerage firms in Korea.
In 2013, we believe that the stock market will remain volatile, and there will be a continued focus on investor protection and risk management. In addition, technological advances such as mobile trading systems will continue to undercut brokerage fees charged by existing brokerage firms, which will incentivize securities firms to diversify their business models to increasingly focus on other revenue generating opportunities, such as investment banking and asset management.
On the regulatory side, in order to reduce liquidity risk, the Government continues to apply strict regulations to securities firms relying on call lending for funding purposes, which is likely to increase funding costs for securities companies. In addition, Government is expected to continue to introduce initiatives aimed at strengthening consumer protection, such as reduction of various fees, which may curtail derivative activities and reduce revenue and profit opportunities for securities firms. Furthermore, the Government is expected to delay adopting amendments to securities laws that would facilitate the formation of large-size investment banks, among other deregulatory measures, which may have the effect of impeding related plans prepared by existing securities companies in anticipation of such deregulation.
We believe that continued customer demand for investment products, the expansion of the pension fund market, the growth of the asset management market following the introduction of hedge funds in Korea and an increase in investment bank activities will be key to the continued growth in the overall Korean economy and cost-savings from redundancy elimination in the workforce, but only to a limited extent in light of the expected loss in valuation and decrease in sales of fixed
income securities industry in Koreathe case of a rise in 2013.
Life Insurance
the base interest rates. In 2013,addition, we expect that life insurancesecurities companies will experience growth from increased demand for annuities and health insurancethat can offer competitive new products, related to the aging demographics, but that such growth will be limited by the anticipated sluggishnessparticularly in the general economy, low interest rate environment and volatility inarea of investment products with a mid-range risk/return profile, will reap the financial markets.majority of the benefits.
On the regulatory side, the Government has introduced, orKorean financial regulators are considering measures to curb self-regulation in margin lending, while liberalizing the procedures and processes for licensing and other government approvals, incentivizing initial public offerings for promising ventures and creating opportunities for scalable investment banking through integration of investment services. On the competitive side, we expect competition to remain intense as the securities brokerage industry is already overcrowded with relatively low barriers of entry, although the industry is showing some signs of consolidation (such as the sale of Woori Investment & Securities to NH Securities, the proposed sale of several small- to medium-sized securities brokerage firms and the acquisition of TongYang Securities by Yuanta Securities of Taiwan), which may improve, even if slightly, the competitive landscape for Korean securities brokerage firms in the future.
Life Insurance
In 2014, life insurance companies in Korea generally showed signs of normalization concerning revenues, driven largely by rising demand for endowment health insurance products. However, the low interest rate environment continued to hurt the profitability of these companies, particularly with respect to certain annuities and saving products which yielded negative net interest margin, despite cost saving efforts by the insurance companies, including redundancy elimination in workforce and branch network.
In 2015, we expect life insurance companies to experience improvements in revenues and profitability in tandem with growth in the overall Korean economy. However, the direction and magnitude of interest rate movements will remain critical and the insurance companies will increasingly be forced to look for additional opportunities for income, such as through endowment insurance, innovative products for the elderly and privately funded insurance, and enhance risk management and funding management policies given the likelihood of a sustained low-interest rate environment.
We are currently not aware of any major regulatory developments that may adversely affect the life insurance industry in Korea. On the competitive side, competition is expected to introduce, several measures that are expected to further improve the business environment forremain intense as the life insurance industry. Some examples are (i) restrictions onindustry in Korea is mature and saturated, and the upfront payouts of commissions payableability to insurance brokers on savings-type life insurance products and adoption of an amortized payment schedule of such commissionsoffer differentiated services in order to streamlineattract the incentives of insurance brokers (including setting a ceiling on the amount of amortizable commissions to of 50%growing population of the upfront commissions paidelderly and requiring the excess commissions paid as current expenses, effective April 2013), (ii) amendmentsretirees’ products will continue to be an ever important competitive factor.
Asset Management
In 2014, the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act effective July 2012, which are expected to further fosterasset management companies generally experienced growth in the retirement insurancesize of assets under management largely due to increased demand for their services from corporate customers, despite an increase in redemption by retail customers. However, given that the asset management services for corporate customers generally yield low rates of fees, the growth in profitability was limited.
In 2015, we expect that asset management companies will face greater divergence in terms of profitability as the markets are likely to experience greater turbulence in the face of a sustained low interest rate environment, which typically heightens customers’ sensitivity to the rates of return and hence their loyalty to a particular asset manage service provider.
The asset management service industry is highly volatile and sensitive to the general trends in the overall cycles in the general economy and financial markets. Competition for this industry is likely to remain intense given the relatively low barriers of entry and the difficulty to differentiate services. On the regulatory side, the Korean government has recently announced that it may liberalize the rules of pension fund management. Such development may create business opportunities for asset management service providers, particularly in the area of dividend-paying pension management products.
In 2015, we anticipate the following areas to be important for the growth and profitability of asset management companies: stronger disclosure policies and practices in response to the anticipated adoption by the Government of stricter measures for financial consumer protection, enhanced asset management capabilities in the face of expected volatilities in interest rates and equity market namely by enabling individual retirement pension schemesindices and allowing insurance plannersproduct differentiation strategies (particularly for structured investment products) to marketmeet growing customer demand for diversified investment portfolios and stable returns on behalf of retirement insurers and (iii) the adoption of the Privacy Act, effective September 2011, which, among others things, expands disclosure requirements for insurance companies, which is expected to curtail imperfect sales and bolster customer confidence in life insurance companies and their products.investments.
Specialized Credit
The specialized credit business was introduced in Korea in August 1997. The specialized credit business cannot accept customer deposits and generally involves providing a combination of four types of financing: equipment and facilities leasing, installment finance, new technology finance and credit card services, and sources funding primarily by issuing debentures and commercial papers rather than taking customer deposits.papers. The specialized credit business generally targets customers with higher risk profile in return for higher return compared to customers of commercial banks, which makes risk management (including customer screening) a particularly key factor for the commercial success forof this business.
Due, in part, to the variety of services being offered and the broad range of potential customers, specialized credit providers often find it relatively easy to develop new customer segments and provide niche offerings. Due to the relatively low barriers of entry, however, competition is intense and is expected to further intensify as a result of the commencement of autoautomobile loan offerings by commercial banks and the expanded entry into personal loan markets by micro lenders.
In responseThe financial supervisory authorities have submitted a proposal to growing concerns regarding the high levelslegislature which would consolidate three types of household debt and the ability of retail customers to repay credit, the Government is expected to encourage lending at lower interest rates. Furthermore, the provisioning requirements for real-estate project financing by specialized credit providers have become stricter recently. As a result, enhanced risk managementservices, namely, equipment and facilities leasing, installment finance and new technology finance, in order to bolster the face of growing competition and more restrictive regulatory environment will be key to the profitabilitycapacity of specialized credit providers in 2013.
Asset Management
In 2012, fund formation activities by domestic asset managers largely stabilized as investor flight significantly subsided in the aftermath of the recent global financial crisis. In addition, due to the increased engagement of third-party investment management services by institutional investors, discretionary investment services experienced continued growth in 2012.
In 2013, wesupport corporate finance. We expect the activity level in the investment management industry to remain similar to the previous year due to uncertainties surrounding the domestic and international economy, with the exception of the discretionary investment market, which is expected tothat specialized credit providers will continue to grow due to expanded use of such servicesfocus their efforts on finding new business opportunities, including by large institutional investors, such asexpanding the National Pension Service. However, we expect to see further diversification of the services offered by this industry as customer needs continue to differentiate. Accordingly, the ability to offer new products that are tailored to differentiated customer needs, as well as to manage customer expectations for portfolio performance in the face of growing uncertainties in the general economytechnology finance segment and financial markets, will be key to the revenue and profitability of asset management service companies.selective overseas expansions.
Private Equity
Since the introduction of private equity funds in Korea at the end of 2004, the number of registered private equity funds with the Financial Supervisory Commission has increased. For example, in 2012, 226 private equity funds with an aggregate fund size of ￦40 trillion were registered compared to 181 private equity funds with an aggregate fund size of ￦31.8 trillion registered in 2011. As these funds increase their funding size, we expect them to diversify their investment focus, including to buyouts and restructuring of troubled companies.
On the regulatory side, the Government is expected to implement policies designed to foster the growth of domestic private equity funds. However, due to increasing global regulations in relation to private equity funds, the Government is also expected to adopt measures that will strengthen monitoring and supervision of private equity funds and otherwise enhance risk management in relation to such funds.
Interest Rates
Interest rate movements, in terms of magnitude and timing as well as their relative impacts on our assets and liabilities, have a significant impact on our net interest margins and profitability, particularly with respect to its financial products that are sensitive to such movements. For example, if the interest rates applicable to Shinhan Bank’s loans (which are recorded as our assets) decrease at a faster pace or by a thicker margin, or increase at a slower pace or by a thinner margin, compared to the interest rates applicable to its deposits (which are recorded as our liabilities), Shinhan Bank’s net interest margin will shrink and its profitability will be negatively affected. In addition, the relative size and composition of Shinhan Bank’s variable rate loans and deposits (as compared to our fixed rate loan and deposits) may also impact Shinhan Bank’s net interest margin. Furthermore, the difference in the average term of Shinhan Bank’s interest-earning assets (primarily loans) compared to its interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits) may also impact its net interest margin. For example, since Shinhan Bank’s deposits tend tocurrently have a longer term, on average, than that of its loans, its deposits are on average less sensitive to movements in the base interest rates on which its deposits and loans tend to be pegged, and therefore, an increase in the base interest rates tendtends to increase its net interest margin while a decrease in the base interest rates tendtends to have the opposite effect. Since
Shinhan Bank is one of our principal operating subsidiaries, its net interest margin and profitability have a substantial effect on ours. While we continually manage our assets and liabilities to minimize our exposure to the interest rate volatility, such efforts by us may not mitigate the impact of interest rate volatility in a timely or effective manner.
PriorThe interest rate charged to February 2010, major commercial bankscustomers by our banking subsidiaries is based, in Korea, including Shinhan Bank, principally used the certificate of deposit, or CD, rates set by Bank of Korea in determining the base rate for secured housing loans, which represent the substantial majority of retail loans. However, amid concerns that the CD rates do not accurately represent the banks’ cost of capital as certificates of deposit constitute relatively a minor fraction of the banks’ assets and in light of the substantial variance in recent periods between the CD rates and the actual market rates, beginning in February 2010, the Korean Federation of Banks publishespart, on the “cost of funding index”, or COFIX, which is published by the Korean Federation of Banks. COFIX is computed based on the weighted average interest of select funding products (including time deposits, housing and other installment savings deposits, repos, discounted bills and senior non-convertible financial debentures) of nine major Korean
banks (comprised of Kookmin Bank, Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank, Hana Bank, Korea Exchange Bank, NHNonghyup Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea, Citibank Korea and Standard Chartered Bank)Bank Korea). Each bank then independently determines the interest rate applicable to the customerits respective customers by adding a spread to the COFIX based on the difference between the COFIX and such bank’s general funding costs, administration fees, the customer’s credit score, the maturity of the loan and other customer-specific premiums and discounts based on the customer relationship with such bank. These interest rates are typically setadjusted on a monthly basis.

Changes in Accounting Policies
Classification of hybrid financial instruments by the holder
Prior to 2014, we had previously classified our investments in hybrid financial instruments as investments in equity securities from the holder’s perspective. In 2014, we determined that the host contract of a hybrid financial instruments can be classified as either equity or debt instruments based on the interpretation letter issued by the Korea Accounting Institute. Accordingly, we reclassified hybrid bonds, of which total face value isW130 billion as of December 31, 2014, held for investment purposes by Shinhan Life Insurance from equity securities to debt securities because the purpose of investment by Shinhan Life Insurance was to invest in debt securities for asset-liability management purpose. We have applied the changes in accounting policy retrospectively and restated the comparative prior year financial statements and the relevant disclosures in notes to the consolidated financial statements. See note 48 to the financial statements included in this annual report for the effect of the change in accounting policy.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated annual financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.
We and our subsidiaries have consistently applied these accounting policies.
Basis of Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities that we control. The financial statements of our subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of our subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies we have adopted.
SPEsStructured Entities
We have established or invested in various structure entities. A structured entity is an entity designed so that its activities are not governed by way of voting rights. When assessing control of a numberstructured entity, we consider factors such as the purpose and the design of special purpose entities (“SPEs”) for tradingthe investee; our practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee; the nature of our relationship with the investee; and investment purposes.the size of our exposure to the variability of returns of the investee. We do not haverecognize any direct or indirect ownershipnon-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of financial position since our interests in these entities. An SPE is consolidated if, based on an evaluationentities are recognized as liabilities of the substance of its relationship with us and the SPE’s risks and rewards, we conclude that we control the SPE.us.
Investments in Associates and Jointly Controlled EntitiesJoint Arrangements (Collectively, “Associates”)
Associates are those entities in which we have significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when we hold between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity or in excess of 15% if the other entity is classified as a subsidiary under the Banking Act. Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities weA joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control established by contractual agreement and requiringof the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions.of the parties sharing control.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. Our investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include our share of the income and expenses and equity movements of associates, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with ours, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When our share of losses exceeds our interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that we have an obligation or are otherwise required to make payments on behalf of the investee.
Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation
Intra-group balances, transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of our interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Foreign Currency
Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of us and our subsidiaries at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation or in a qualifying cash flow hedge, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into Won at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated into Won at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income in the translation reserve.
When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount in the translation is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. In any other partial disposal of a foreign operation, the relevant proportion is reclassified to profit or loss.
Hedge of Net Investment in Foreign Operations
We apply hedge accounting to foreign currency differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operations and the parent entity’s functional currency (namely, Korean Won), regardless of whether the net investment is held directly or through an intermediate parent.
Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective, and are presented within equity in the translation reserve. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in profit or loss. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount in the translation reserve is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by us in the management of our short-term commitments.
Non-derivative Financial Assets
Financial assets are classified into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets. Financial assets are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when we become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset is measured initially at its fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition of the financial asset.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
A financial asset is classified as held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. These financial assets are measured at fair value after initial recognition and changes in the fair value are recognized through profit or loss of the period. Costs attributable to the acquisition are immediately expensed in the period.
Held-to-maturity Financial Assets
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. They are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method after their initial recognition.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
For non-collateral dependent loans, impairment is measured using a discount cash flow analysis under which allowances are established when the discounted cash flow of the loan is lower than its carrying amount. The allowance is equal to the difference between the discounted cash flow amount of the loan and its carrying amount. With respect to collateral dependent loans, our discount cash flow analysis considers, among other things, the fair value of the collateral underlying the subject loan. When the carrying amount of the subject loan is higher than the fair value of the collateral, the carrying amount is written down to the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is determined as the present value of the estimated realizable value of the collateral at the expected time of the sale of such collateral. Once the valuation report of the court-appointed appraiser becomes publicly available as part of a foreclosure proceeding, we use the appraisal value for the collateral indicated in such report as the estimated realizable value of the collateral. However, until such publication, we use the valuation amount for the collateral as determined by outside independent appraisers at the time that the subject loan was initially approved, with adjustments made for the change in value from the effect of time passage and current market circumstances that may impact the value of the collateral.
As a general rule, we obtain updated appraisal on an annual basis for all collateral dependent loans and therefore, adjust the appraisal value of loans every 12 months. We estimate the fair value of collateral with outdated appraisal value primarily on the basis of the publicly available standard reference prices as officially published by the government (or (x) in the case of collateral in the form of apartment units, the real estate market price database maintained by Kookmin Bank for apartment units, (y) in the case of collateral in the form of other communal housing units, the publicly available standard reference prices as officially published by the Ministry of Land, TransportInfrastructure and Maritime AffairsTransport or (z) in the case of commercial buildings, the publicly available standard reference prices as officially published by the National Tax Service), except that (i) if there are bid prices for such collateral, we use as the fair value the lowest bid price deemed to be credible as to the bidder’s intent to purchase based on the written bid submitted by such purchaser and (ii) in the circumstances where we deem that the aforesaid reference prices do not accurately reflect the true value of such land, for example, due to a downturn in the relevant real estate market, we hire an outside appraiser to obtain an independent valuation, which valuation is typically derived from 90% or lower of the lowest of two or more sale prices from recent sales of similar types of collateral in the vicinity, and we use such valuation as the fair value for such collateral. Other than in the case of a bid price which is higher than the original appraisal value, we design our fair value estimation system so that the adjusted fair value does not exceed the original appraisal value and hence, in the absence of a higher bid price, the adjustments made have the effect of assigning a fair value lower than the original appraisal value. Since the magnitude of adjustments is principally dependent on reference prices maintained by the Government or bid prices, which are in turn dependent on the market prices, it varies case by case and is therefore difficult to compute the average adjustments made to outdated appraisals. After making such adjustments, we also internally appraise each collateral at least annually in order to ensure that the adjusted value is fair and reasonable.
We implement the following procedures to minimize the potential for outdated appraisal values being reflected in allowance for loan losses: (i) the date of appraisal is assigned next to the appraisal value to facilitate identification of an appraisal value as being outdated, (ii) our internal audit department constantly monitors the status of appraisal values, and (iii) the loan-to-value ratio, usually 60%, is strictly enforced when making the original loan so that the value of collateral typically stays above the outstanding loan amount during the life of the loan even in the case of an adjustment to the original appraisal value. If in the limited circumstances where the adjusted fair value of collateral falls below the outstanding loan amount, if the loan is impaired, we promptly set aside allowance for loan losses for such difference in amount.
Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are the non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments or loans and receivables. They are measured at fair value after their initial recognition.
Derecognition of Financial Assets
We derecognize a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or we transfer the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that we create or retain is recognized as a separate asset or liability.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statements of financial position when, and only when, we have a legal right to offset the amounts and intend either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Impairment of Financial Assets
We assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, restructuring of a loan or a concession granted by us, which we would not otherwise consider, indications that a borrower or issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, or observable data such as an increased number of delayed payments indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets.
Loans and Receivables
We first assess whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for loans and receivables that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If we determine that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, we include the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assess them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).
If the interest rate of loans and receivables is a floating rate, the discount rate used to evaluate impairment loss is the current effective interest rate defined in an agreement. The present value of estimated future cash flows of secured financial assets is calculated by including cash flows from collateral after deducting costs to acquire and sell the collateral, regardless of the probability of realization of such collateral.
In assessing collective impairment, we rate and classify financial assets, based on a credit risk assessment or credit rating assessment process that takes into account asset type, industry, regional location, collateral type, delinquency and other relative factors.
Future cash flow of financial assets applicable to collective impairment assessment is estimated by using statistical modeling of historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the impairment losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical modeling.modelling. In adjusting the future cash flow by historical modeling,modelling, the result has to be in line with changes and trends of observable data (e.g., impairment loss of collective assets and unemployment rate, asset price, commodity price, payment status
and other variables representing the size of implement loss). Methodologies and assumptions used to estimate future cash flow are reviewed on a regular basis in order to narrow down discrepancy between impairment loss estimation and actual loss.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss of the period.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Our methodology for determining allowance for loan losses has changed in 2011.
Under both the previous and current methodology, determining allowance for loan losses involves determination both at the individual level and on the aggregate basis. While there is no material difference between our previous and current methodology in determining allowance for loan losses at the individual level except for differences in its recognition of loan losses as a result of subsequent events, there are certain differences when determining the allowance on the aggregate basis.
When determining allowance for loan losses, under the previous methodology, Shinhan Bank, which accounts for the substantial majority of loans held by Shinhan Financial Group, used a migration model, while under the current methodology, Shinhan Bank used a probability of default / loss-given default (“PD/LGD”) model. Certain differences may arise in allowances for loan losses calculated under the previous migration model and the current PD/LGD model.
Under the previous migration model, when determining allowance for loan losses, Shinhan Bank, which accounts for the substantial majority of loans held by Shinhan Financial Group, applied a migration model based on loan classifications. Shinhan Bank identified the probability of default for corporate loans through a migration model, which uses a statistical tool to monitor the progression of loans through nine different classifications over recent one year, while retail loans uses five different classifications over recent one year and are segmented into the two product types for the purposes of credit risk evaluation, namely, mortgage and home equity loans, and other retail loans (consisting of unsecured and secured retail loans). Loss given default for corporate loans is derived by the loss rate of individually evaluated impaired loans, while retail loans is derived by the historical charge-off and recovery information of the portfolio.
Under the current PD/LGD model, Shinhan Bank calculates the aggregate allowance for loan losses by multiplying (x) the probability of default for each class of borrowers that have been assigned the same credit rating by (y) the loss given default for such class of borrowers. A particular credit rating is assigned individually to each borrower based on (i) the borrower type (namely, household, corporate, SOHOs or high-risk borrowers) and (ii) its particular risk and credit profile within such type, using our proprietary credit evaluation model.
Our current PD/LGD model determines the probability of default for each class of borrowers having the same credit rating as follows. First, we determine the projected probability of default for such class of borrowers
using the longer look-back periods under IFRS. However, at least annually (and more frequently during times of heightened systemic risks), we test such projected probability of default against the actual rate of default among such class of borrowers in the 12-months period immediately preceding such testing date. If based on such test the actual rate of default exceeds the mean or the maximum value of projected probability of default, we reassess, on an individual basis and using more conservative metrics, the credit rating assigned to each borrower within such class. Such credit rating reassessment generally has the effect of lowering the credit rating for a substantial number of borrowers that initially belonged to such class, which in turn has the effect of increasing the allowance of losses on an aggregate basis since the pool of borrowers having high credit ratings will have shrunk (and the pool of borrowers having lower credit ratings will have expanded) as the result of the individualized credit rating reassessment. Hence, such recalibration has the effect of reflecting the effects of current conditions in our final determination of the probability of default.
The migration and PD/LGD methods described above also have other differences. Under the previous migration method, the historical loss rate on migration analysis is calculated from a transition matrix table based on asset quality classification and takes into consideration historical loss rates and recovery rates after charge-off,
whereas the current PD/LGD method (sophisticated approach), also known as Advanced Internal Rating-Based approach under Basel II, is calculated via measurable long-term risk factors such as probability of default from risk grading and loss given default based on the Basel II framework.
We believe that our current PD/LGD model has the following advantages compared to the previous migration model:
| • | Statistically more robust while reflecting effects of current condition. From a statistical perspective, we believe our current PD/LGD model enables a more robust and reliable analysis by adopting a longer look-back period based on the Continuous Time Marcov Chain Rating Transition Approach than the one-year migration model does. While adopting a longer look-back period may have the effect of undervaluing the effects of current conditions, our model largely compensates for such potential undervaluation through the annual calibration process discussed above. |
| • | Analytically more fine-tuned. Our previous migration model analyzed the probability of default based on the following criteria only: retail vs. corporate and secured vs. unsecured. Under our current PD/LGD model, we examine the probability of default based on more granular classification as follows: households, corporate, small-office/home-office (SOHOs) and special high-risk borrowers. In addition, our current PD/LGD model also analyzes loss given default in greater detail, including location, types of collateral, loan-to-value ratios and (in the case of unsecured loans) types of loans. |
| • | More versatile use and improved reliability through greater internal scrutiny. The previous migration model was used only for the purpose of determining the probability of default in connection of computing allowance for losses based on asset classification. In comparison, our current PD/LGD model is being used for substantially all areas of our credit risk evaluation, including credit ratings, loan review and computation of capital adequacy. Given the more versatile use of our current PD/LGD model and the greater impact on system-wide risk arising from its misuse, we devote greater resources to ensuring the accuracy of this model through heightened scrutiny over its design, implementation and evaluation. |
Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by transferring the cumulative loss that has been recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the fair value reserve in equity, to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortization, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss. Changes in impairment provisions attributable to time value are reflected as a component of interest income.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Held-to-maturity Financial Assets
An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity financial assets measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate and is recognized in profit or loss. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognized through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.
Hedge Accounting
We hold derivative financial instruments to hedge our foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. On initial designation of the hedge, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. We make an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125%. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income.
Fair Value Hedges
When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the change in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment that could affect profit or loss, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized immediately in profit or loss together with changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk (in the same line item in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as the hedged item).
If the hedging derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or the hedge no longer meets the criteria for fair value hedge accounting, or the hedge designation is revoked, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. Any adjustment to a hedged item up to the point for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to profit or loss as part of the recalculated effective interest rate of the item over its remaining life.
Cash Flow Hedges
When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The amount
recognized in other comprehensive income is removed and included in profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss under the same line item in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity remains there until the forecast transaction affects profit or loss. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is recognized immediately in profit or loss. In other cases the amount recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.
Net Investment in a Foreign Operation
If the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, then foreign currency difference arising on the item which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in the other comprehensive income and shall be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investment.
Separable Embedded Derivatives
Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and the combined instrument is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of separable embedded derivatives are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Other Non-trading Derivatives
When a derivative financial instrument is not held for trading, and is not designated in a qualifying hedge relationship, all changes in its fair value are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Property and Equipment
Items of property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. We elect to measure land and buildings at fair value at the date of transition and use those fair values as their deemed costs.
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property or equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to us and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced cost is derecognized. The cost of the day to day servicing of property and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Other property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, which most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Leased assets under finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Descriptions | Depreciation Method | Useful Lives | ||||||
Buildings | Straight-line | 40 years | ||||||
Other properties | Straight-line | 4~5 years | ||||||
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual value are reassessed at each fiscal year-end and any adjustment is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and an impairment loss on such an investment is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the equity method accounted investee.
Research and Development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and we intend to and have sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalization is on or after January 1, 2010. Other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible Assets such as Club Memberships with Indefinite Useful Lives
There are no foreseeable limits to the periods over which club memberships are expected to be available for use. This intangible asset is determined as having indefinite useful lives and not amortized.
The useful lives of intangible assets that are not being amortized are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support indefinite useful life assessments for those assets. Changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets with finite useful lives that we acquire are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Descriptions | Useful Lives | |
Software, capitalized development cost | 5 years | |
Other intangible assets | 5 years or contract periods |
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
Investment Property
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes.
Investment property is measured initially at cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. Subsequently, investment property is carried at depreciated cost less any accumulated impairment loss.
Leased Assets
Classification of a Lease
A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset from the lessor to the lessee; title to the asset may or may not transfer under such a lease. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.
Lessee
Under a finance lease, the lessee recognizes the leased asset and a liability for future lease payments. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Under an operating lease, the lessee recognizes the lease payments as expense over the lease term and does not recognize the leased asset in the consolidated statements of financial position.
Lessor
Under a finance lease, the lessor recognizes a finance lease receivable. Over the lease term the lessor accrues interest income on the net investment. The receipts under the lease are allocated between reducing the net investment and recognizing finance income, so as to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment.
Under an operating lease, the lessor recognizes the lease payments as income over the lease term and the leased asset in the consolidated statements of financial position.
Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately before
classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with our accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The carrying amounts of our non-financial assets, other than investment property and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”, or “CGU”).
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate is not recognized separately, and therefore is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire amount of the investment in an associate is tested for impairment as a single asset when there is objective evidence that the investment in an associate may be impaired.
Non-Derivative Financial Liabilities
Depending on commitments in a contract and definition of financial liabilities, the non-derivative financial liabilities are categorized as either at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.
Our equity-linked securities are hybrid financial products that combine features of debt securities and equity options. Their returns are based on the interest earned on the debt securities plus the gains or losses from the equity options. Equity-linked securities can be offered in Korea only by specially licensed brokers dealing in over-the-counter derivative products, and we offer these products through Shinhan Investment.
Under the accounting principle of fair value option, we measure the fair value of the equity-linked securities and reflect the changes in such fair value in net income. We compute the fair value of these securities primarily internally based on the Black and Scholes’ option pricing model, except that in the case of overseas stocks, overseas stock indexes or other underlying assets, we use the average of valuations by two outside valuation firms hired by us.
Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include a financial liability held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. These financial liabilities are measured at fair value after initial recognition and changes in the fair value are recognized through profit or loss of the period. Costs attributable to the issuance or acquisition are immediately expensed in the period.
Other Financial Liabilities
The financial liabilities not classified as at fair value through profit or loss are classified into other financial liabilities. The liabilities are measured at a fair value minus cost relating to issuance upon initial recognition. Then, they are carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Only when financial liabilities become extinct, or obligations in a contract are cancelled or terminated, are they derecognized from our consolidated statements of financial position.
Equity Instrument
Capital Stock
Capital stock is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the transaction of stock are deducted, net of tax, from the equity.
Preference Share Capital
Preference share capital is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at our option, and any dividends are discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as distributions within equity upon approval by our shareholders.
Preference share capital is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as interest expense in profit or loss as accrued.
Hybrid Bond
We classify issued financial instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Hybrid bonds, in which we have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle a contractual obligation, are classified as equity instruments and presented in equity.
Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest, which means the equity is a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, consists of the amount of those non-controlling interests at the date of the original combination calculated in accordance with IFRS No. 11033(R) “Business Combination” and the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
Employee Benefits
Short-term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if we have a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Other Long-term Employee Benefits
Our net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than pension plans is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of our obligations. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Defined Benefit Plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. Our net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated in aggregate for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs and theThe fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The calculation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are deducted. recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. We determine the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in personnel expenses in profit or loss.
The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-ratedhigh-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of our obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary usingWe recognize service cost and net interest on the projected unit credit method. When the calculation resultsnet defined benefit liability (asset) in a benefit to us, the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costsprofit or loss and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in us. An economic benefit is available to us if it is realizable during the liferemeasurement of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.net defined benefit liability (asset) in other comprehensive income.
When the benefits of a plan are improved,changed or when a plan is curtailed, the portion of the increasedresulting change in benefit relatingthat relates to past service by employees is recognized in profitor the gain or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expensecurtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
We recognize all actuarial gains and losses arising fromon the settlement of a defined benefit plans in profit or loss.plan when the settlement occurs.
Defined Contribution Plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when we are committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if we have made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.
Share-based Payment Transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized as personnel expense in profit or loss.
Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, we have a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
Financial Guarantee Contract
Financial guarantees are contracts that require us to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognized initially at their fair value, and the initial fair value is amortized over the life of the financial guarantee. The financial guarantee liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortized amount and the present value of any expected payment when a payment under the guarantee has become probable. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities.
Financial Income and Expense
Interest
Interest income and expense are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability (or, where appropriate, a shorter period) to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, we estimate future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not future credit losses.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all fees and points paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or liability.
Recognition of Interest Income on Impairment Losses
Once an impairment loss has been recognized on a loan, although the accrual of interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the instrument is discontinued, interest income is recognized at the rate of interest that was used to discount estimated future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
Fees and Commission
Fees and commission income and expense that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.
Other fees and commission income, including account servicing fees, investment management fees, sales commission, placement fees and syndication fees, are recognized as the related services are performed. When a loan commitment is not expected to result in the draw-down of a loan, the related loan commitment fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.
Other fees and commission expense relate mainly to transaction and service fees, which are expensed as the services are received.
Dividends
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive income is established. Usually this is the ex-dividend date for equity securities.
Customer Loyalty Program
For customer loyalty programs, the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of the initial sale is allocated between award credits (“points”) and other components of the fee and commission
income. The Group provides awards, in the form of price discounts and by offering a variety of gifts. The fair value allocated to the points is estimated by reference to the fair value of the monetary and/or non-monetary benefits for which they could be redeemed. The fair value of the benefits is estimated taking into account the expected redemption rate and the timing of such expected redemptions. Such amount is deferred and recognized as unearned revenue. Unearned revenue is recognized only when the points are redeemed and the Group has fulfilled its obligations to provide the benefits. The amount of revenue recognized in those circumstances is based on the number of points that have been redeemed in exchange for benefits, relative to the total number of points that are expected to be redeemed.
Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, to the extent that we are able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
We file our national income tax return with the Korean tax authorities under the consolidated corporate tax system, which allows us to make national income tax payments based on our and our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries’ consolidated profits or losses. Deferred taxes are measured based on the future tax benefits expected to be realized in consideration of the expected profits or losses of eligible companies in accordance with the consolidated corporate tax system. Consolidated corporate tax amounts, once determined, are allocated to each of our subsidiaries and are used as a basis for the income taxes to be recorded in their separate financial statements.
Accounting for Trust Accounts
We account for trust accounts separately from our group accounts under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and thus the trust accounts are not included in the consolidated financial statements except those which are guaranteed fixed rate money trustsas to principal (or as to both principal and interest) controlled by us, based on an evaluation of the substance of its relationship with us and the special purpose entity’s risks and rewards. Funds transferred between a group account and a trust account are recognized as borrowings from trust accounts in other liabilities with fees for managing the accounts recognized as non-interest income by us.
Earnings per Share
We present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for our ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to an ordinary shareholder by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

Notes:
| (1) | The amounts for 2012 and 2013 have been restated to retroactively reflect changes in accounting policies regarding the classification of financial instruments held by us and correction of prior period errors as described in Note 48 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. |
| (2) | Average balances are based on (a) daily balances for Shinhan Bank and (b) quarterly balances for other subsidiaries. |
Non-accruing loans are included in the respective average loan balances. Income on such non-accruing loans is no longer recognized from the date the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. We reclassify loans as accruing when interest (including default interest) and principal payments are current. |

Represents the difference between the average rate of interest earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. |
Represents the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. |
Represents the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. |
Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income — Volume and Rate Analysis
The following table provides an analysis of changes in interest income, interest expense and net interest income between changes in volume and changes in rates for (i) 20122014 compared to 20112013 and (ii) 20112013 compared to 2010.2012. Volume and rate variances have been calculated on the movement in average balances and the change in the interest rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to absolute volume and rate change. The variance caused by the change in both volume and rate has been allocated in proportion to the absolute volume and rate change.

Interest income.The moderate 0.6% increase4.2% decrease in interest income was due primarily to the stable level of interest on loans coupled with a 12.5% increasedecrease in interest on available-for-sale financial assets. The increase in interest on available-for-sale financial assets largely resulted from a 14.7% increase in the average balance of our available-for-sale financial assets from ￦26,626 billion in 2011 to ￦30,540 billion in 2012 due to our active investment in debt securities as a source of profit in the face of sluggishness of the general economy, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rates for available-for-sale financial assets from 3.85% in 2011 to 3.78% in 2012 due a general decrease in market interest rates.
loans. Interest on loans remained largely stable, having decreased by 0.1%4.5% from ￦11,282W10,168 billion in 20112013 to ￦11,275W9,714 billion in 2012,2014, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average lending rate from 5.89%4.94% in 20112013 to 5.65%4.53% in 20122014 largely as a result of a general decrease in market interest rates in reflection of the lowering of the base interest rate by the Bank of Korea and the ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector, which was substantiallypartially offset by a 4.0%4.22% increase in the average balance of total loans from ￦191,693W205,632 billion in 20112013 to ￦199,442W214,315 billion in 20122014 due to an increase in the average balance of both retail and corporate loans following targeted loan growth in select strategic customer segments.
Interest onincome from retail loans increaseddecreased by 1.9%4.22% from ￦3,750W3,487 billion in 20112013 to ￦3,820W3,340 billion in 2012, which was2014, primarily due to a 5.2%decrease in the average lending rate for retail loans from 4.65% in 2013 to 4.19% in 2014, which was partially offset by a 6.09% increase in the average balance of retail loans from ￦66,953W75,069 billion in 20112013 to ￦70,424W79,642 billion in 2012, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average lending rate for such loans from 5.60% in 2011 to 5.42% in 2012. The average balance of retail loans increased principally as a result of a net increase in the volume of mortgage and home equity loans in 2012 largely due to a decrease in the lending rates in the second half of 2012 which more than offset the prolonged downturn in the real estate market, as well an
increase in specialized lending to police officers and other government employees with relatively strong job security and stable credit profiles as part of our tailored strategic marketing efforts.2014. The average lending rate for retail loans decreased largely as a result of a decrease in the base rate set by the Bank of Korea, which largely determines the market rates for certificates of deposit, which in turn largely determines our lending rates for a substantial majority of our retail loans. The average balance of retail loans increased principally as a result of a continued increase in lending to borrowers with high credit profiles and government employees with relatively strong job security (such as police officers and firefighters) as part of our strategic initiative to increase the volume of lending while maintaining or improving the profit margin and asset quality for such lending, an increase in the volume of long-term housing rental deposit loans in tandem with a growing preference for long-term housing rental in lieu of home ownership due in part to the continued uncertainty in the Korean real property market, and a substantial increase in the volume of secured housing loans in the second half of 2014 following the series of Government plans to stimulate the general economy and the real estate market through various monetary, fiscal and deregulatory measures as announced in the second half of 2014.
Interest onincome from corporate loans decreased by 1.4%4.27% from ￦5,349W4,664 billion in 20112013 to ￦5,274W4,465 billion in 2012,2014, which was primarily due to a decrease in the average lending rate for corporate loans from 5.36%4.42% in 20112013 to 5.13%4.04% in 2012,2014, which was partially offset by a 3.0%4.72% increase in the average balance of such loans from ￦99,734W105,482 billion in 20112013 to ￦102,723W110,460 billion in 2012.2014. The average lending rate for corporate loans decreased largely as a result of a general decrease in market interest rates in reflection of the lowering of the base rate by the government and the ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector. The average balance of corporate loans increased principally as a result of an increase in loans to SOHO and small- and medium-sized enterprise borrowers with quality credit profiles as part of our strategic lending policies as well as the volumelaunch of facility loansnew loan products for SOHO and small- and medium-sized enterprises in general at relatively affordable rates in line with the Government’s policy initiative to assist and support such enterprises, as well as an increase in the volume of loans to small-office, small-home sole proprietorship borrowers (SOHOs) and other quality small- to medium-sized enterprises with strong credit profiles as part of our tailored strategic marketing efforts, which was partially offset by a decrease in the volume of working capital loans following the redemptionto large corporations to meet their short-term financing needs.
Interest expense.Interest expense decreased by Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation of working capital loans in the aggregate amount of ￦1,98211.9% fromW5,986 billion in the first half of 2012 in connection with the restructuring of savings banks.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased by 2.7% from ￦6,7012013 toW5,271 billion in 2011 to ￦6,883 billion in 2012,2014, due primarily to a 8.0% increase11.9% decrease in interest expense on deposits from ￦4,181W3,914 billion in 20112013 to ￦4,515W3,449 billion in 20122014 and a 12.2% increase in interest expense on borrowings from ￦485 billion in 2011 to ￦544 billion in 2012, which was partially offset by a 10.4%14.4% decrease in interest expense on debt securities issued from ￦1,943W1,521 billion in 20112013 to ￦1,740W1,302 billion in 2012.2014.
The increasedecrease in interest expense on deposits was due to a 6.8% increase in the average balance of deposits from ￦153,918 billion in 2011 to ￦164,338 billion in 2012 and a slight increasedecrease in the average interest rate payable on deposits from 2.72%2.26% in 20112013 to 2.75%1.89% in 2012.2014, which was partially offset by a 4.97% increase in the average balance of deposits fromW173,484 billion in 2013 toW182,113 billion in 2014. The increase in the average balance of deposits was primarily due to a 10.1%11.98% increase in the average balance of timedemand deposits from ￦99,654W19,531 billion in 20112013 to ￦109,743W21,871 billion in 2012, which was partially offset by2014 and a 46.6% decrease in the average balance of other deposits from ￦3,513 billion in 2011 to ￦1,875 billion in 2012. The overall13.66% increase in the average balance of savings deposits fromW40,139 billion in 2013 toW45,622 billion in 2014 while the average balance of time deposits, which represents the substantial majority of deposits, remained largely stable fromW112,134 billion in 2013 toW112,469 billion in 2014. The increase in the average balance of demand deposits was largely due to the increasing preference among consumersan increase in newly opened demand deposit accounts (including accounts for bank deposits (and particularly, time deposits, which generally offered the highest interest rates among ourautomatic deposit products) as safe investment products amid the continued uncertainty in the general economyof salaries and the sustained slump in the housing market. The average balance of other deposits, which principally consist of certificates of deposit, decreased primarilycredit card settlements) mainly as a result of our active cross-selling efforts, as well as the increased use of check cards. The
increase in the average balance of savings deposits was largely due to replace a portion of certificates of deposit with regular customeran increase in savings deposits in order to improve our loan-to-deposit ratio since the former are not classified as deposits for purposes of computing such ratio.by government and government-affiliated agencies. The slight increasedecrease in the average interest rate payable on deposits resulted mainly from an increasea decrease in the average interest rate payable on time deposits from 3.61%3.00% in 20112013 to 3.63%2.58% in 2012, which more than offset the decrease in the average interest rate payable on other deposits from 3.71% in 2011 to 3.26% in 2012.2014. The average interest rate payable on time deposits increaseddecreased largely as a result of increasing competition among commercial banks (as well as Korea Development Bank which launched retail banking servicesa general decrease in 2012) for customer depositsmarket interest rates attributable to secure stable funding, strengthen customer loyalty and reduce the loan-to-deposit ratio, which more than offset the impact from the increasedecrease in the base interest rate set by the Bank of Korea which tends to have a lag effect compared to lending rates due to the differential maturity profiles of our customer deposits compared to our loans.
The increase in interest expense on borrowings was due to a 9.8% increaseand ample liquidity in the average balance of borrowings from ￦19,733 billion in 2011 to ￦21,667 billion in 2012 and an increase on the average interest rate payable on borrowings from 2.46% in 2011 to 2.51% in 2012, which resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of bonds sold under repurchase agreements, which bear relatively higher interest rates, from ￦3,675 billion in 2011 to ￦5,060 billion in 2012 as part of our effort to expand the customer base for Shinhan Investment in this type of product offering.Korean financial sector.
The decrease in interest expense on debt securities issued was due to a decrease in the average interest rate payable on debt securities from 4.85%3.98% in 20112013 to 4.36%3.56% in 2012,2014, and to a lesser extent, a 0.2%4.46% decrease in the
average balance of debt securities from ￦40,048W38,251 billion in 20112013 to ￦39,950W36,544 billion in 2012.2014. The average interest rate payable on debt securities issued decreased largely as a result of a general decrease in market interest rates in reflection of the lowering of the base rate by the Bank of Korea and the ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector. The average balance of debt securities issued decreased largely as a result of the increase in the average balance of deposits, which reduced our need to source funding through issuance of debt securities, which bear higher interest rates.
Net interest margin.Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income to the average balance of interest-earning assets. Our overall net interest margin decreased by 20five basis points from 2.80%2.36% in 20112013 to 2.60%2.31% in 2012,2014, due to a decrease by 21 basis points in net interest spread from 2.34% in 2011 to 2.13% in 2012, which more than offset a 6.1%4.90% increase in the average volume of interest-earning assets from ￦253,022W280,244 billion in 20112013 to ￦268,574W293,965 billion in 2012.2014 and a decrease by two basis points in net interest spread from 1.95% in 2013 to 1.93% in 2014. Net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average rate of interest earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, decreased from 20112013 to 20122014 primarily due to a 2939 basis points decrease in the average rate of interest receivable on interest-earning assets (principally consisting of loans) from 5.45%4.49% in 20112013 to 5.16%4.10% in 2014 primarily resulting from the decrease in base interest rates set by the Bank of Korea from 2.50% in 2013 to 2.00% in 2014, which more than offset a 37 basis points decrease in the average rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 2.54% in 2013 to 2.17% in 2014 primarily due to a decrease in the average interest rate payable on deposits from 2.26% in 2013 to 1.89% in 2014 and a decrease in the average interest rate payable on debt securities issued from 3.98% in 2013 to 3.56% in 2014, in each case, for reasons discussed above. In general, as was the case in 2013, a decrease in the base rates set by the Bank of Korea tend to decrease our net interest margin since our deposits (on which we pay interest) have, on average, a longer maturity profile than our loans (from which we receive interest) do and are therefore less sensitive to movements in base and market interest rates.

Net fees and commission income increased by 5.9% fromW1,387 billion in 2013 toW1,469 billion in 2014, primarily as a result of a 4.5% increase in credit card fees fromW2,106 billion in 2013 toW2,201 billion in 2014, which was partially offset by a 10.3% decrease in commission received as agency.
The increase in credit card fees was principally attributable to an increase in the average credit card balance, which was partially offset by a decrease in the rate of fees we charge on merchants. The decrease in commission received as agency was principally attributable to a result of a temporary suspension of telemarketing activities by Shinhan Card as part of a sanction from the financial regulators applicable to all credit card companies in Korea (including Shinhan Card) following the leakage of personal customer information by credit card companies, as well as a decrease in fees for asset-backed securitization services related to mobile phone installment receivables due to a reduction of such securitizations in following a change in telecommunication law in Korea.

Net other operating expenses increased by 4.6% toW5,604 billion in 2014 fromW5,360 billion in 2013, primarily as a result of a 6.2% increase in general and administrative expenses and a significant increase in net loss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss , which were partially offset by a significant increase in net trading income and a 12.4% decrease in impairment loss on financial assets.
General and administrative expenses increased by 6.2% fromW4,203 billion in 2013 toW4,463 billion in 2014 principally due to an increase in performance pays, an increase related to termination benefits arising from voluntary retirement programs and performance and an increase in taxes and dues related to the contribution of funds to a government-sponsored program to replace old credit card payment terminals for low-income merchants.
Net loss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss increased significantly fromW122 billion in 2013 toW361 billion in 2014, largely as a result of a significant increase in valuation losses on equity-linked securities mainly as a result of an increase in volatility in the Korean stock market indices. However, the net economic effect from such loss is negligible since we hedge substantially all of our equity-linked securities and such loss is therefore offset for the most part by net trading income from valuation gains from related derivative products.
Net trading income increased significantly fromW75 billion in 2013 toW262 billion in 2014, largely as a result of valuation gains on short-term financial instruments and trading gains from the disposal thereof following the decrease in the base and market interest rates.
Impairment loss on financial assets decreased primarily for reasons further discussed below.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased by 7.53% fromW621 billion in 2013 toW668 billion in 2014 as a result of the increase in our taxable income. Our effective rate of income tax remained largely stable from 23.2% in 2013 to 23.3% in 2014.

Other comprehensive loss decreased by 88.3% toW36 billion in 2014 fromW309 billion in 2013, principally due to valuation gains for debt instruments held by us following a decrease in the base and market interest rates, which more than offset a negative change in remeasurements of defined benefit liability, mainly related to changes in financial assumptions, including discount rates used in reflection of the lower base and market interest rates.

Interest income. The 10.1% decrease in interest income was due primarily to a decrease in interest on loans. Interest on loans decreased by 10.1% fromW11,309 billion in 2012 toW10,168 billion in 2013, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average lending rate from 5.65% in 2012 to 4.94% in 2013 largely as a result of a general decrease in market interest rates in reflection of the lowering of the base interest rate by the Bank of Korea and the ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector, which was partially offset by a 2.8% increase in the average balance of total loans fromW200,088 billion in 2012 toW205,632 billion in 2013 due to an increase in the average balance of both retail and corporate loans following targeted loan growth in select strategic customer segments.
Interest on retail loans decreased by 9.4% fromW3,847 billion in 2012 toW3,487 billion in 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the average lending rate for retail loans from 5.42% in 2012 to 4.65% in 2013, which was partially offset by a 5.8% increase in the average balance of retail loans fromW70,974 billion in 2012 toW75,069 billion in 2013. The average lending rate for retail loans decreased largely as a result of a decrease in the base rate set by the Bank of Korea, which largely determines the market rates for certificates of deposit, which in turn largely determines our lending rates for a substantial majority of our retail loans. The average balance of retail loans increased principally as a result of an increase in the volume of long-term housing rental deposit loans in tandem with a growing preference for long-term housing rental in lieu of home ownership due in part to the continued uncertainty in the Korean real property market, as well as increased lending to borrowers
with high credit profiles and government employees with relatively strong job security, such as police officers and firefighters, as part of our strategic initiative to increase the volume of lending while maintaining or improving the profit margin and asset quality for such lending.
Interest on corporate loans decreased by 11.7% fromW5,280 billion in 2012 toW4,664 billion in 2013, which was primarily due to a decrease in the average lending rate for corporate loans from 5.14% in 2012 to 4.42% in 2013, which was partially offset by a 2.6% increase in the average balance of such loans fromW102,800 billion in 2012 toW105,482 billion in 2013. The average lending rate for corporate loans decreased largely as a result of a general decrease in market interest rates in reflection of the lowering of the base rate by the government and the ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector. The average balance of corporate loans increased principally as a result of an increase in loans to SOHO and small- and medium-sized enterprise borrowers with quality credit profiles as part of our strategic lending policies as well as the launch of new loan products for SOHO and small- and medium-sized enterprises in general at relatively affordable rates in line with the Government’s policy initiative to assist and support such enterprises, which more than offset a decrease in the balance of loans to large corporations due to the sale or write-off of a portion of such loans that were insolvent or at risk of insolvency as part our risk management efforts to improve the overall quality of our assets.
Interest expense.Interest expense decreased by 14.7% fromW7,019 billion in 2012 toW5,986 billion in 2013, due primarily to a 15.6% decrease in interest expense on deposits fromW4,637 billion in 2012 toW3,914 billion in 2013, a 17.2% decrease in interest expense on borrowings fromW565 billion in 2012 toW468 billion in 2013 and a 12.6% decrease in interest expense on debt securities issued fromW1,740 billion in 2012 toW1,521 billion in 2013.
The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due to a decrease in the average interest rate payable on deposits from 2.77% in 2012 to 2.26% in 2013, which was partially offset by a 3.6% increase in the average balance of deposits fromW167,506 billion in 2012 toW173,484 billion in 2013. The increase in the average balance of deposits was primarily due to a 2.2% increase in the average balance of time deposits fromW109,743 billion in 2012 toW112,134 billion in 2013, which was partially offset by a 10.4% decrease in the average balance of other deposits fromW1,875 billion in 2012 toW1,680 billion in 2013. The overall increase in the average balance of time deposits was largely due to the growing preference among customers for higher-yielding deposit products such as time deposits (which generally offer relatively higher rates of interest compared to our other deposit products) in light of the continued low interest rate environment in Korea in 2013, as well as our efforts to maintain our customer base by offering competitive rates on time deposits. The average balance of other deposits, which principally consist of certificates of deposit, decreased primarily as a result of our efforts to replace a portion of certificates of deposit with regular customer deposits in order to improve our loan-to-deposit ratio since the former are not classified as deposits for purposes of computing such ratio. The decrease in the average interest rate payable on deposits resulted mainly from a decrease in the average interest rate payable on time deposits from 3.63% in 2012 to 3.00% in 2013 and a decrease in the average interest rate payable on other deposits from 3.25% in 2012 to 2.01% in 2013. The average interest rate payable on time deposits decreased largely as a result of a general decrease in market interest rates attributable to the decrease in the base interest rate set by the Bank of Korea and ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector. The average interest rate payable on other deposits also decreased largely as a result of the general decrease in market interest rates in 2013, as well as our efforts to decrease the volume of our certificates of deposit by offering lower rates thereon.
The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due to a 2.4% decrease in the average balance of borrowings fromW22,258 billion in 2012 toW21,730 billion in 2013 and a decrease on the average interest rate payable on borrowings from 2.54% in 2012 to 2.16% in 2013. The average balance of borrowings decreased largely as a result of the increase in the average balance of deposits and greater availability of funding through capital markets in tandem with the ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector, both of which reduced our need to source funding through borrowings. The average interest rate payable on borrowings decreased largely due to the general decrease in market interest rates in 2013 and our active efforts to reduce borrowings with relatively high interest rates through repayment.
The decrease in interest expense on debt securities issued was due to a decrease in the average interest rate payable on debt securities from 4.36% in 2012 to 3.98% in 2013, and a 4.2% decrease in the average balance of debt securities fromW39,938 billion in 2012 toW38,251 billion in 2013. The average interest rate payable on debt securities issued decreased largely as a result of a general decrease in market interest rates in reflection of the lowering of the base rate by the Bank of Korea and the ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector. The average balance of debt securities issued decreased largely as a result of the increase in the average balance of deposits, which reduced our need to source funding through issuance of debt securities, which bear higher interest rates.
Net interest margin.Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income to the average balance of interest-earning assets. Our overall net interest margin decreased by 21 basis points from 2.57% in 2012 to 2.36% in 2013, due to a decrease by 16 basis points in net interest spread from 2.11% in 2012 to 1.95% in 2013, which more than offset a 3.1% increase in the average volume of interest-earning assets fromW271,905 billion in 2012 toW280,244 billion in 2013. Net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average rate of interest earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, decreased from 2012 to 2013 primarily due to a 66 basis points decrease in the average rate of interest receivable on interest-earning assets (principally consisting of loans) from 5.15% in 2012 to 4.49% in 2013 primarily resulting from the decrease in base interest rates set by the Bank of Korea in 2012 from 3.25% in 2011 to 2.75% in 2012 to 2.50% in 2013, which more than offset a nine50 basis points decrease in the average rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 3.11% in 2011 to 3.02%3.04% in 2012 to 2.54% in 2013 primarily due to a decrease in the average interest rate payable on deposits from 2.77% in 2012 to 2.26% in 2013 and a decrease in the average interest rate payable on debt securities issued from 4.85% in 2011 to 4.36% in 2012 which was partially offset by an increaseto 3.98% in the average interest rate payable on deposits from 2.72% in 2011 to 2.75% in 2012,2013, in each case, for reasons discussed above. In general, as was the case in 2012, a decrease in the base rates set by the Bank of Korea tend to decrease our net interest margin since our deposits (on which we pay interest) have, on average, a longer maturity profile than our loans (from which we receive interest) do and are therefore less sensitive to movements in base and market interest rates.

The increase in other fees and commission receivedexpense was principally attributable to an increase in fees paid by Shinhan Card in connection with factoring transactions relating to SK Telecom mobile handset installment receivables and an increase in insurance premiums relating to Shinhan Card’s guarantee for such receivables. The increase in credit card fee expense was principally attributable to an increase in the expenses related to the reward points systems and membership services for Shinhan Card largely as agency.
a result of enhanced marketing efforts to maintain and expand our credit card customers. Investment banking fee income decreased largely due to a decrease in advisory fee income as a result of a general decline in the number and volume of investment banking transactions in Korea, including real estate development, public infrastructure projects and mergers and acquisitions. The decrease in brokerage feesfee income was principally attributable to decreases in the balance of indirect investment products and the trading volume in the Korean stock market due to increased investor preference for low risk investments in the face of uncertainty in the general economy as well as a decrease in the brokerage fee rates due to intensifying competition for brokerage services primarily brought by the prevalence of Internet-based and mobile trading services for which minimal brokerage fee is charged. Commission received as agency primarily represents fees received for sale of bancassurance products, and its increase was largely due to increased sales of certain tax-exempt insurance and annuity products due to changes in tax law. The increase in credit card fee expensefees income was principally attributable to an increase in the expenses related to the reward points systems and membership services for Shinhan Card largely as a result of enhanced marketing efforts to maintain and expand our credit card customers. Credit card fee income remained largely stable, having increased by 2.5% from ￦2,020 billion in 2011 to ￦2,071 billion in 2012 largely due to an increase in average credit card balances, which was largely offset by a decrease in the rate of fees we charge on merchants.

Impairment loss on financial assets increased(as further
explained below), which were partially offset by 44.0% from ￦983 billiona significant decrease in 2011 to ￦1,416 billion in 2012 principally due tonet trading income, a 53.4%3.5% increase in impairment on loans from ￦864 billion in 2011 to ￦1,325 billion in 2012, which mainly resulted from:
angeneral and administrative expense and a 81.5% increase in impairment loss on retail loans by 168.2% from ￦66 billion in 2011 to ￦177 billion in 2012 principally due to an increase in delinquency among collective loans for apartment pre-sales as a result of a continued slump in the housing market, particularly in respect of sales of newly constructed apartment units;net insurance loss.
an increase in impairment loss on corporate loans by 32.9% from ￦647 billion in 2011 to ￦860 billion in 2012 principally due to the deteriorating financial soundness of construction companies resulting from the continued slump in the housing market and the increase in allowance for losses on loans made by Shinhan Capital to shipbuilders as a result of continued difficulty in the shipbuilding industry; and
an increase in impairment loss on credit card loans by 77.7% from ￦166 billion in 2011 to ￦295 billion in 2012 principally due to an increase in the delinquency rate and a reduction in recovery for credit card loans that were written off.
We recorded netNet loss on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss of ￦532decreased significantly fromW532 billion in 2012 compared to net such gain of ￦172W122 billion in 2011,2013, largely as a result of significant valuation lossesgain and gain on sale of equity-linked securities issuedsold by us.us due to a general decrease in market stock prices in 2013. However, the net economic effect from such loss is negligible since we hedge substantially all of our equity-linked securities and such loss is therefore offset for the most part by net trading income from valuation gains from related derivative products.
Other expense decreased by 25.4% fromW724 billion in 2012 toW540 billion in 2013 principally due to an increase in other income attributable to the sale of defaulted loans to Kookmin Happy Fund and a decrease in loss from hedging activities.
Net gain on sale of available-for-sale financial assets decreasedincreased by 36.5%30.8% from ￦846 billion in 2011 to ￦537W536 billion in 2012 toW701 billion in 2013 principally due to the gain onrealized from the sale of shares in Hyundai ConstructionSK Hynix and BC Cardavailable-for-sale debt securities in 20112013 in the amount of ￦352W148 billion and ￦89W123 billion, respectively.
We recorded netNet trading income of ￦596decreased significantly fromW608 billion in 2012 compared to net trading loss of ￦132W75 billion in 2011,2013, largely as a result of losses incurred by Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Investment relating to derivative transactions and valuation gainsloss on derivative products used for hedging equity-linked securities issued by us.products.
General and administrative expenses decreasedincreased by 1.8%3.5% from ￦4,135 billion in 2011 to ￦4,060W4,062 billion in 2012 principally due to our cost reduction efforts, including less advertising and a reduced payout of performance-related bonuses.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased by 19.7% from ￦920W4,203 billion in 2011 to ￦739 billion in 2012 as a result of the decrease in our taxable income. Our effective rate of income tax increased from 21.9% in 2011 to 22.9% in 2012 largely as a result of a decrease in tax refunds in 2012 compared to 2011.
Net Income for the Period
As a result of the foregoing, our net income for the period decreased by 23.8% from ￦3,273 billion in 2011 to ￦2,494 billion in 2012.

Interest income. The 6.8% increase in interest income was due primarily to a 6.7% increase in interest on loans. The increase in interest on loans largely resulted from an increase in the volume of loans made. The average balance of our loans increased by 6.6% from ￦179,836 billion in 2010 to ￦191,693 billion in 2011, principally due to increases in the average balances of retail loans and corporate loans and, to a lesser extent, credit card loans. The average lending rate on our loans remained largely stable from 5.88% in 2010 to 5.89% in 2011,2013 principally due to an increase in the average lending rate for retail loans, which was substantially offset by the decreases in the average lending rates for corporate loansseverance and credit card loans.
More specifically, the increase in interest income was dueretirement benefits related to the following:
a 9.8% increase in interest on retail loans from ￦3,416 billion in 2010 to ￦3,750 billion in 2011, which was primarily due toour early retirement programs and performance-related bonuses, as well as an increase in the average balance of retail loansShinhan Card’s marketing expenses.
Net insurance loss increased by 81.5% from ￦63,673W211 billion in 20102012 to ￦66,953W383 billion in 2011 and2013 principally due to a decrease in Shinhan Life Insurance’s fee income resulting from a decrease in the sale of new bancassurance contracts following adverse changes in tax regulation, as well as an increase in the average lending rate for such loans from 5.36% in 2010 to 5.60% in 2011. The average balance for retail loans increased largelycommission expenses that are recognized upfront as a result of an increasechanges in the volume of housing loans taken by households to pay for an increase in housing sales in the first half of 2011 as well as the general increase in long-term deposit required for the majority of rental housing in Korea due to an increasing shortage of available housing in Seoul. The average lending rate for retail loans increased largely as a result of an increase in the base rate set by the Bank of Korea, which largely determines the market rates for certificates of deposit, which in turn largely determines our lending rates for a substantial majority of our retail loans.
a 4.2% increase in interest on corporate loans from ￦5,133 billion in 2010 to ￦5,349 billion in 2011, which was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of corporate loans from ￦93,720 billion in
|
a 5.1% increase in interest on credit card loans from ￦1,795 billion in 2010 to ￦1,887 billion in 2011, which was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of credit card loans from ￦16,278 billion in 2010 to ￦17,740 billion in 2011, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average lending rate for credit card loans from 11.03% in 2010 to 10.64% in 2011. The average balance for credit card loans increased largely as a result of an increase in consumer confidence and consumer spending. The average lending rate for credit cards decreased largely due to our concerted efforts to decrease the proportion of cash advances (which yield higher interest rates but carry a greater risk of delinquency) as part of our enhanced risk management policy.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased by 4.1% from ￦6,436 billion in 2010 to ￦6,701 billion in 2011, due primarily to a 6.2% increase in interest expense on deposits from ￦3,936 billion in 2010 to ￦4,181 billion in 2011 and a 24.4% increase in interest expense on borrowings from ￦390 billion in 2010 to ￦485 billion in 2011, which was partially offset by a 4.8% decrease in interest expense on debt securities issued from ￦2,041 billion in 2010 to ￦1,943 billion in 2011.
The increase in interest expense on deposits was due to a 4.1% increase in the average balance of deposits from ￦147,829 billion in 2010 to ￦153,918 billion in 2011 and an increase in the average interest rate payable on deposits from 2.66% in 2010 to 2.72% in 2011. The increase in the average balance of deposits was primarily due to a 6.7% increase in the average balance of time deposits from ￦93,385 billion in 2010 to ￦99,654 billion in 2011, which was partially offset by a 28.1% decrease in the average balance of other deposits from ￦4,884 billion in 2010 to ￦3,513 billion in 2011. The overall increase in the average balance of deposits was largely due to the increasing preference among consumers for bank deposits as safe investment products in light of the continued volatility in the stock markets, and time deposits were especially popular among consumers as they generally offered the highest interest rate among our deposit products. The average balance of other deposits, which principally consist of certificates of deposit, decreased primarily as a result of our efforts to replace a portion of certificates of deposit with regular customer deposits in order to improve our loan-to-deposit ratio since the former are not classified as deposits for purposes of computing such ratio. The increase in the average interest rate payable on deposits resulted mainly from the increase in the average interest rate payable on time deposits from 3.50% in 2010 to 3.61% in 2011, which more than offset the decrease in the average interest rate payable on other deposits from 4.58% in 2010 to 3.71% in 2011. The average interest rate payable on time deposits increased largely as a result of increasing competition among commercial banks for customer deposits to secure stable funding and strengthen customer loyalty.
The increase in interest expense on borrowings was due to an increase on the average interest rate payable on borrowings from 2.10% in 2010 to 2.46% in 2011 and, to a lesser extent, a 6.4% increase in the average balance of borrowings from ￦18,549 billion in 2010 to ￦19,733 billion in 2011. The average interest rate payable on borrowings increased largely as a result of the general increase in the base rate set by the Bank of Korea.
The decrease in interest expense on debt securities issued was due to a 4.8% decrease in the average balance of debt securities from ￦41,054 billion in 2010 to ￦40,048 billion in 2011, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in the average interest rate payable on debt securities from 4.97% in 2010 to 4.85% in 2011. The average balance of debt securities issued decreased largely as a result of the increase in the average balance of deposits, which reduced our need to source funding through issuance of debt securities, which bear higher interest rates. The average interest rate payable on debt securities issued decreased largely as a result of a decrease in market interest rates principally due to enhanced liquidity in the Korean financial market attributable to the Government’s expansionary monetary policy in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis as well as a net inflow of foreign capital following Korea’s relatively speedy recovery therefrom.
Net interest margin. Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income to the average balance of interest-earning assets. Our overall net interest margin increased by 11 basis points from 2.69% in 2010 to 2.80% in 2011, due to a 5.3% increase in the average volume of interest-earning assets from ￦240,310 billion in 2010 to ￦253,022 billion in 2011 and an increase by four basis points in net interest spread from 2.29% in 2010 to 2.34% in 2011. Net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average rate of interest earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, increased from 2010 to 2011 primarily due to the increase in the average rate of interest receivable on interest-earning assets (principally consisting of loans) resulting from the increase in base interest rates set by the Bank of Korea in 2011 to 3.25% from 2.0% in 2010. Customer deposits generally bear lower interest rates than debt securities issued. The increase in the proportion of customer deposits relative to than debt securities issued was largely due to the increasing attractiveness to consumers of bank deposits relative to other investments, such as stock investments, due to the volatility in the stock markets. The average rate of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by three basis points largely due to an increase in short-term interest rates paid on time deposits, which comprised a substantial portion of our customer deposits, to 3.61% in 2011 from 3.50% in 2010 in reflection of the increase in base interest rates set by the Bank of Korea in 2011, which was partially offset by a decrease in long-term interest rates paid on debt securities issued.

Net fees and commission income remained largely stable, having increased only by 0.1% from ￦1,757 billion in 2010 to ￦1,759 billion in 2011, primarily as a result of a 6.6% increase in credit card fees income from ￦1,895 billion in 2010 to ￦2,020 billion in 2011 and a 13.9% increase in other fees and commission income from ￦380 billion in 2010 to ￦433 billion in 2011, which was substantially offset by a 11.2% increase in credit card fees expenses. The increase in credit card fees income is principally attributable to the increase in the average balance of credit card loans, which more than offset the decrease in the average rate of merchant fees charged to merchants for the use of our credit card services as a result of regulatory changes. The increase in other fees and commission income is principally attributable to an increase in fee income generated
by the special accounts of our insurance business. The increase in credit card fees expense is principally attributable to an increase in the expenses related to our points systems and membership services largely as a result of our enhanced marketing efforts to maintain and expand our credit card customers.

The decrease in impairment loss on corporate loans by 46.1% from ￦1,201 billion in 2010 to ￦647 billion in 2011 principally due to the absence in 2011 of large-scale fast-track restructuring programs in 2010 for troubled companies in the shipbuilding, shipping and construction industries, as well as our concerted efforts to focus on sound asset quality when extending or renewing corporate loans
which werewas partially offset by:
by a significant increase in impairment loss on credit card loanssecurities from ￦28W101 billion in 20102012 to ￦166W215 billion in 20112013 principally due to the increase in the average balancerecognition of credit card loans, overall deterioration of asset quality for credit card loans and a reduction in recovery for credit card loans that were written off,
an increase in impairment loss on retail loansshares in POSCO and SsangYong Engineering & Construction held by 34.7% from ￦49 billionus following a decline in 2010 to ￦66 billiontheir stock prices and on our capital investment in 2011 principallyCredit Recovery Fund due to the increaselowered valuations of such capital investment by a third party valuation firm in the average balance of retail loans, and
an increase in impairment loss on securities by 31.8% from ￦66 billion in 2010 to ￦87 billion in 2011 principally due to impairment loss on our shares in Kumho Industries and other companies due to fluctuations in share prices of these companies.
We recorded net gain on financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss of ￦172 billion in 2011 compared to net such loss of ￦125 billion in 2010, largely as a result of a general downturn in the Korean stock market in 2011. However, as noted previously, the net economic effect from such gain is negligible since we hedge substantially all of our equity-linked securities and such gain is therefore offset for the most part by net trading loss from valuation losses from related derivative products.2013.
Net gain on sale of available-for-sale financial assets increased by 29.8% from ￦652 billion in 2010 to ￦846 billion in 2011 principally due to the gain on sale of shares in Hyundai Construction and BC Card in 2011 in the amount of ￦352 billion and ￦89 billion, respectively.
We recorded net trading loss of ￦132 billion in 2011 compared to net trading income of ￦334 billion in 2010, largely as a result of valuation loss of derivative products used for hedging equity-linked securities issued by us.
General and administrative expenses increased by 7.5% from ￦3,848 billion in 2010 to ￦4,135 billion in 2011 principally due to the wage increase for employees at Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Card and an increase in severance and retirement benefits as a result of an increase in the number of employees opting for voluntary retirement in 2011.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increaseddecreased by 61.4%16.0% from ￦570W739 billion in 20102012 to ￦920W621 billion in 20112013 as a result of the increasedecrease in our taxable income. Our effective rate of income tax increasedremained relatively stable from 16.6%22.9% in 20102012 to 21.9%23.2% in 2011 largely as a result of a tax refund of ￦197 billion received in 2010 in relation to overpayments of corporate income taxes made in prior years.2013.

Results by Principal Business Segment
As of December 31, 2012,2014, we were organized into eight major business segments as follows:
the following banking services, which are principally provided by Shinhan Bank:
retail banking;
corporate and investment banking;
international banking; and
other banking services;
credit card services, which are provided by Shinhan Card;
securities brokerage services, which are provided by Shinhan Investment;
life insurance services, which are provided by Shinhan Life Insurance; and
other.
Our senior management regularly makes decisions about resources to be allocated to these activities and assesses performance of the activities using this information, and consequently this forms the basis of our segment reporting included in Note 7 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Operating Income by Principal Business Segment
Effective January 1, 2012, in order to enhance operational efficiency, Shinhan Bank reorganized its business operations which resulted in a partial adjustment of segmentation of its principal businesses.
The table below provides the income statement data for our principal business segments for the periods indicated. For purposes of facilitating comparability of segment results in 2011 compared to 2012, the segment results for 2011 for purposes of such comparison were adjusted to reflect the adjusted business segments.

For segment reporting purposes, each segment result reflects provision for loan losses that are allocated based on the ending balances of loans for each segment in order to show a meaningful comparison of performance within such segment and compared to other segments.
We allocate provision for loan losses as follows: (i) first, each of our operating segments is allocated up to 100% of the expected loss from loans made by such segment (namely, with respect to a particular loan, 80% of the expected loss for such loan on a daily basis based on the daily ending balance of such loan and the remaining 20% upon the occurrence of insolvency for such loan, and (ii) the difference between the actual incurred loss and the expected loss for a given operating segment is in the “Others (Banking)” segment. Accordingly, the total provision of losses recorded for our banking business is a sum of expected loss for each banking segment and any amounts by which actual incurred loss exceeds expected loss allocated for a loan for which a borrower has become insolvent, which is recorded as provision of loan losses for the “Others (Banking)” segment.
Retail Banking
The retail banking segment primarily consists of banking and other services provided by Shinhan Bank and Jeju Bank’s retail banking branches to the branch customers, which principally consist of individuals and households. The retail banking products principally consist of mortgage and home equity loans and other retail loans, deposits and other savings products and fees earned from the sale of investment and bancassurance products.
The table below provides the income statement data for the retail banking segment for the periods indicated. For purposes of facilitating comparability of segment results in 2011 compared to 2012, the segment results for 2011 for purposes of such comparison were adjusted to reflect the adjusted business segment.

Operating income for retail banking decreasedincreased by 19.1%23.3% from ￦870W460 billion in 20112013 to ￦704W567 billion in 2012.2014.
Net interest income for retail banking decreasedincreased by 5.9%2.6% from ￦2,671W2,341 billion in 20112013 to ￦2,513W2,402 billion in 20122014 due to an increase in funding costs arising from the increase in the volume of deposits amidst consumers’ continuing preference for bank deposits, the increase in the rates offered on deposits to attract customer deposit in light of the increased competition among commercial banks for customer deposits, as well as the decrease in the average lending rates forbalance of retail loans, in reflection of the abundant market liquidity in Korea, which more than offset an increase in the volume of retail loans (particularly as a result of the introduction of specialized loan products for police officers and other government employees) and mortgage loan products. The decrease in net interest incomespread. The average balance of retail loans increased from 2013 to 2014, largely due to an increase in home rental long-term deposit loans and mortgage loans for new home purchases, as well as increased lending to quality retail banking was also attributable to a gradual deteriorationcustomers with stable employment and sound credit profile. The increase in the average balance of Shinhan Bank’sretail loans more than offset the decrease in net interest spread, which resulted largely from a decline in general decrease in market interest rates largely driven byfollowing the incremental decrease inreduction of the base interest rate set by the Bank of Korea to 2.75%2.00% in 20122014 from 3.25%2.50% in 2011,2013, which hadgenerally has a greater impact on the average interest rate on Shinhan Bank’s loans relative to the average interest ratethat on Shinhan Bank’s deposits due to the shorter repricing periods for the former, as well as intensified rate competition among peer commercial banks for high quality retail loans and customer deposits and an increase in the proportion of retail loans with higher asset quality for which Shinhan Bank charges lower rates.
Net fees and commission income increased rateby 2.5% fromW559 billion in 2013 toW573 billion in 2014 primarily due to an increase in agency fees and commissions related to the increased volume of bancassurance products sold.
Net other expense decreased by 1.3% fromW2,440 billion in 2013 toW2,408 billion in 2014 primarily due to a decrease in rental expenses due to consolidation of our retail banking branch network in tandem with the rationalization efforts for Shinhan Bank’s distribution network.
Comparison of 2013 to 2012
Operating income for retail banking decreased by 34.2% fromW699 billion in 2012 toW460 billion in 2013.
Net interest income for retail banking decreased by 6.8% fromW2,513 billion in 2012 toW2,341 billion in 2013 due to the narrowing of the net interest spread, which was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of corporate loans. The narrowing of Shinhan Bank’s net interest spread was largely due to the decrease in the market interest rates in tandem with a decrease in the base interest rates set by the Bank of Korea in 2014 as well as increasing competition among commercial banks for retailhigh-quality corporate loans in the midst of an increase in general market liquidity for corporate borrowers, as described above. The increase in the average balance of corporate loans was largely due to a steady increase in loans to high quality SOHO and customer deposits.small-and medium-sized enterprise borrowers as well as the launch of new loan products for SOHO and small-and medium-sized enterprises in general at relatively affordable rates in line with the Government’s policy initiative to assist and support such enterprises, as described above.
Net fees and commission income decreased by 3.8%6.8% from ￦624W600 billion in 20112012 to ￦600W559 billion in 20122013 primarily due to reduced demand for indirect investment products offered by Shinhan Bank’s retail banking branches as a result ofresulting from the continued stagnation in domestic stock markets.markets, as well as a decrease in fees received for bancassurance products due to a decrease in the volume of bancassurance products sold in response to a change in applicable tax regulations relating to tax exemptions and deductions for bancassurance products.
Net other expense remained largely stable, having decreasedincreased by 0.7%1.1% from ￦2,425W2,414 billion in 20112012 to ￦2,409W2,440 billion in 20122013 primarily due to an increase in sellinggeneral and administrative expensesexpense resulting from an increase in severance and retirementother benefits which was substantially offset by a decrease in expenses related to court deposit service.
Comparison of 2011 to 2010
Operating income for retail banking increased by 15.1% from ￦883 billion in 2010 to ￦1,016 billion in 2011.
Net interest income for retailing banking increased by 14.5% from ￦2,320 billion in 2010 to ￦2,656 billion in 2011 primarily due to an increase in the volume of retail loans, mainly in the form of mortgage and home equity lending related to housing loans taken by households to pay for an increase in housing sales in the first half of 2011 as well as the general increase in long-term deposit required for the majority of rental housing in Korea due to an increasing shortage of available housing in Seoul, which more than offset an increase in funding costs arising from the increase in the volume of time deposits amidst consumers’ growing preference for bank deposits in lieu of other investment products due to the overall stagnation of the domestic stock market in 2011. The increase in net interest income for retail banking was also attributable to the improvement in net interest spread, which was largely due to the increase in the base interest rate set by the Government in 2011, which generally has a greater impact on the average interest rate on our loans relative to the average interest rate on our deposits, as the former generally has shorter repricing periods than the latter.
Net fees and commission income decreased by 1.9% from ￦647 billion in 2010 to ￦635 billion in 2011 primarily due to decreased demand for indirect investment products offered by Shinhan Bank’s retail banking branches as a result of the general stagnation in domestic stock markets in light of the ongoing European financial crisis.
Net other expense increased by 9.2% from ￦2,084 billion in 2010 to ￦2,275 billion in 2011 primarily due to an increase in selling and administrative expenses resulting from an increase in severance and retirement benefits due to an increase in the number of employees at Shinhan Bank’s retail banking branches opting for voluntary retirement in 2011. The increase in other expense was partially offset by a decrease in provision for loan losses as the asset quality of retail loans improved due to Shinhan Bank’s active policy to increase the proportion of quality assets, such as mortgage and home equity loans, as part of our enhanced risk management policy in response to the uncertainty in global economic prospects.
Corporate and Investment Banking
The corporate and investment banking segment primarily consists of banking and other services provided by Shinhan Bank’s corporate banking branches to their corporate customers, most of which are small- andsmall-and medium-sized enterprises and large corporations, including members of thechaebolgroups, such as general lending and providing overdrafts and other credit facilities.

Net interest income decreased by 10.7% fromW1,049 billion in 2012 toW937 billion in 2013 primarily due to a decrease in the volume of loans to large corporate borrowers, which resulted primarily from an increased use of capital markets for financing, instead of bank loans, by large corporations to take advantage of ample liquidity in the Korean financial sector, as well as enhanced risk management policy in responseintensified pricing competition among commercial banks to the uncertainty in global economic prospects, and a decrease in funding costs resulting from the decrease in the base interest rate set by the Bank of Korea.make high quality corporate loans, which adversely affected Shinhan Bank’s average lending rate.
Net fees and commission income decreased by 1.4%15.3% from ￦279W275 billion in 20112012 to ￦275W233 billion in 20122013 primarily due to a decrease in investment advisory fees resulting from decreased investment banking activities in light of the continued weakness in the Korean and global economies.
Net other expense significantly decreased by 4.8%58.2% from ￦459 billion in 2011 to ￦437W435 billion in 2012 primarily due to a decrease in the expected loss from corporate loans made resulting from a slowdown in the growth of corporate loans in 2012 compared to 2011, which was partially offset by an increase in selling and administrative expenses for reasons similar to that for retail banking as discussed above and an increase in provision for loan losses attributable to the increase in the proportion of insolvent borrowers in the construction industry and, to a lesser extent, the shipbuilding and shipping industries, as a result of the continued slump in such industries in 2012.
Comparison of 2011 to 2010

ongoing efforts to attract corporate borrowers with lower lending rates as part of our enhanced risk management policy in response to the uncertainty in global economic prospects, and an increase in funding costs resulting from an increased shift in cash management policy among corporate borrowers to deposit their funds in time deposits rather than commercial papers, reflecting in part the enhanced liquidity among Korean corporations in 2011.
Net fees and commission income decreased by 12.5% from ￦240 billion in 2010 to ￦210 billion in 2011 primarily due to a decrease in investment advisory fees resulting from a continued slowdown of domestic merger and acquisition and real estate project financing activities following the recent global financial crisis.

Our loans increased by 7.7% fromW205,723 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW221,618 billion as of December 31, 2014, principally as a result of an increase in home mortgage loans and long-term housing rental deposit loans following the government policy announced in the second half of 2014 to stimulate the real estate market, as well as an increase in high-quality retail loans to police officers and other government employees and an increase in corporate loans to quality SOHO and small- to medium-sized enterprise customers.
Our trading assets increased by 35.1% fromW18,033 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW24,362 billion as of December 31, 2014, principally due to an increase in securities held for hedging purposes to offset decreases in the volume of equity-linked securities.
Our cash and due from banks increased by 25.0% fromW16,473 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW20,585 billion as of December 31, 2014, principally due to an increase of due from The Bank of Korea, which fluctuates on a daily basis.
Our held-to-maturity financial assets increased by 21.2% fromW11,031 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW13,373 billion as of December 31, 2014, principally due to an increase in government bonds and national housing bonds held by us as part of our asset management policy.
Our available-for-sale financial assets decreased by 6.5% fromW33,597 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW31,418 billion as of December 31, 2014, principally due to increased disposal of debt securities following the decrease in the base and market interest rates.
2013 Compared to 2012
Our assets increased by 2.1% fromW304,939 billion as of December 31, 2012 toW311,290 billion as of December 31, 2013, principally due to increases in loans, cash and due from banks and trading assets, which was partially offset by decreases in available-for-sale financial assets and net other assets.

Our trading assets increased by 17.3% from ￦11,954 billion in 2011 to ￦14,019 billion in 2012 and available-for-sale financial assets increased by 6.5% from ￦34,106 billion in 2011 to ￦36,328 billion in 2012, in each case, largely due to an increased purchase of debt securities issued by corporations and financial institutions as a part of our cash management.
Our other assets increased by 20.3% from ￦10,888 billion as of December 31, 2011 to ￦13,094 billion as of December 31, 2012, principally due to an increase in transitional accounts such as spot exchange receivables
(which are foreign currency exchange recognized as receivables from the trading date to the settlement date) and domestic exchange settlement debits (which are receivables recognized in respect of domestic inter-bank transactions).
Our cash and due from banks decreased by 9.1% from ￦14,731 billion as of December 31, 2011 to ￦13,394 billion as of December 31, 2012, principally due to the redemption of the Series 10 redeemable preferred shares and the Series 11 redeemable convertible preferred shares in the aggregate amount of ￦3,765 billion in January 2012.

Our loans increased by 6.2% from ￦181,347 billion as of December 31, 2010 to ￦192,573 billion as of December 31, 2011, as a result of our risk management policy which emphasized increasing the proportion of high-quality assets such as working capital loans to large corporate customers and loan facilities to small- and medium-sized enterprises and an increase in mortgage and home equity loans.
Our available-for-sale financial assets increased by 15.8% from ￦29,452 billion in 2010 to ￦34,106 billion in 2011 largely due to the increased purchase of debt securities issued by financial institutions for purposes of safe and sound cash management, which was partially offset by the sale of our shares in Hyundai Construction and BC Card and the valuation losses of available-for-sale securities held by us as a result of the general downturn of the Korean stock market in 2011.
Our other assets increased by 9.4% from ￦9,949 billion as of December 31, 2010 to ￦10,888 billion as of December 31, 2011, principally due to an increase in transitional accounts such as spot exchange receivables (which are foreign currency exchange recognized as receivables from the trading date to the settlement date) and domestic exchange settlement debits (which are receivables recognized in respect of domestic inter-bank transactions).

Our deposits increased by 8.3% fromW178,810 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW193,710 billion as of December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in cross-selling deposit products (including automatic salary deposit products, automatic credit card payment deposit products, check card deposit products and other deposit products offered to high-quality retail customers such as police officers and government employees) and an increase in inter-bank deposits.
Our financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss increased by 52.2% fromW5,909 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW8,996 billion as of December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in the volume of equity-linked securities sold and an increase in valuation losses of such securities.
Our borrowings increased by 14.1% fromW20,143 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW22,974 billion as of December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings such as repos and call moneys as part of our liquidity management policy.
Our liabilities under insurance contracts increased by 13.5% fromW15,662 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW17,776 billion as of December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in policy reserve related to an increase in the cumulative volume of our insurance policies.
Our other liabilities increased by 10.6% fromW19,021 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW21,040 billion as of December 31, 2014, primarily due to a significant increase in other accounts payable related to short-term accounts payable for securities and derivatives trading.
Total equity increased by 2.2% fromW29,855 billion as of December 31, 2013 toW30,514 billion as of December 31, 2014, largely due to net income attributable to equity holders in the amount ofW2,081 billion, which more than offset a dividend payout ofW370 billion in 2014 and the effect of recording other comprehensive loss ofW36 billion in 2014.
2013 Compared to 2012
Our total liabilities increased by 2.0% fromW276,028 billion as of December 31, 2012 toW281,435 billion as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in deposits (which principally consist of customer deposits)deposits in Won) and, to a lesser extent, an increase in liabilities under insurance contracts, which were partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities.
Our deposits increased by 4.3%3.2% from ￦163,016W173,296 billion as of December 31, 20112012 to ￦170,096W178,810 billion as of December 31, 2012,2013, primarily due to continuing preference among customers for safe investment products in light of the lingering uncertainties surrounding the general economy, the continued slump in the real estate market and the stagnant stock markets.
Our liabilities under insurance liabilitiescontracts increased by 23.5%16.7% from ￦10,867W13,420 billion as of December 31, 20112012 to ￦13,419W15,662 billion as of December 31, 2012,2013, primarily due to an increase in policy reserve related to increasesan increase in the volume of insurance policies newly sold as well as the cumulative volume of existingour insurance policies.
Total equity increasedOur other liabilities decreased by 7.1%11.8% from ￦26,859 billion as of December 31, 2011 to ￦28,779W21,574 billion as of December 31, 2012 toW19,021 billion as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to a significant decrease in other accounts payable, and in particular, swap exchange payables, as a result of a decrease in derivative transactions for hedging foreign currency-denominated loans following a decrease in such loans in 2013.
Total equity increased by 3.3% fromW28,911 billion as of December 31, 2012 toW29,855 billion as of December 31, 2013, largely due to net income attributable to equity holders in the amount of ￦2,323 billion and the issuance of hybrid bonds in the amount of ￦299W1,898 billion, which more than offset a dividend payout of ￦630W394 billion in 2012.

Our total liabilities increased by 8.6% from ￦240,415 billion as of December 31, 2010 to ￦261,183 billion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to an increase in deposits (which principally consist of customer deposits)2013 and to a lesser extent, an increase in other liabilities.
Our deposits increased by 9.1% from ￦149,417 billion as of December 31, 2010 to ￦163,016 billion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to the continuing preference among customers for safe investment products in light of the increased volatility of the domestic stock market.
Our other liabilities, which primarily consist of other accounts payable and accrued expenses, increased by 18.0% from ￦16,812 billion as of December 31, 2010 to ￦19,843 billion as of December 31, 2011, primarily due to the recognition as accrued expenses of the redemption amounts payable in January 2012 in respect of the Series 10 and Series 11 preferred shares as a result of sending the relevant redemption notice in December 2011.
Total equity decreased by 1.2% from ￦27,195 billion as of December 31, 2010 to ￦26,859 billion as of December 31, 2011, largely due to the scheduled redemption of all Series 10 redeemable preferred shares and Series 11 redeemable convertible preferred shares in the aggregate amount of ￦3,573 billion and dividend payout of ￦586 billion in 2011, which more than offset the effect of the issuerecording other comprehensive loss of Series 12 redeemable preferred shares in the amount of ￦1,110 billion and our net income attributable to equity holders of ￦3,100W309 billion in 2011.2013.
| ITEM 5.B. | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
We are exposed to liquidity risk arising from the funding of our lending, trading and investment activities and in the management of trading positions. The goal of liquidity management is for us to be able, even under adverse conditions, to meet all of our liability repayments on time and fund all investment opportunities. For an explanation of how we manage our liquidity risk, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Risk Management — Market Risk Management — Market Risk Management for Non-trading Activities — Liquidity Risk Management.” In our opinion, the working capital is sufficient for our present requirements.
The following table sets forth our capital resources as of December 31, 2012.2014.

We obtain funding from a variety of sources, both domestic and foreign. Our principal source of funding is customer deposits obtained from our banking operations, and we from time to time issue equity and debt securities. In addition, our subsidiaries acquire funding through call money, borrowings from the Bank of Korea, other short-term borrowings, corporate debentures, other long-term debt and asset-backed securitizations.
Our primary funding strategy has been to achieve low-cost funding by increasing the average balances of low-cost retail customer deposits. Customer deposits accounted for 70.8% of our total funding as of December 31, 2010, 72.2% of our total funding as of December 31, 2011 and 73.5% of our total funding as of December 31, 2012.2012, 74.5% of our total funding as of December 31, 2013, and 74.8% of our total funding as of December 31, 2014. Historically, except in limited circumstances, largely due to the lack of alternative investment opportunities for individuals and households in Korea, especially in light of a low interest rate environment and volatile stock market conditions, a substantial portion of such customer deposits were rolled over upon maturity and accordingly provided a stable source of funding for our banking subsidiaries. However, in the face of attractive alternative investment opportunities such as during a bullish run of the stock market,
customers may transfer a significant amount of bank deposits to alternative investment products in search of higher returns, which may result in temporary difficulties in finding sufficient funding on commercial terms favorable to us. In addition, in recent years, we have faced increasing pricing competition from our competitors with respect to our deposit products. If we do not continue to offer competitive interest rates to our deposit customers, we may lose their business, which has traditionally provided a stable and low-cost source of funding. In addition, even if we are able to match our competitors’ pricing, doing so may result in an increase in our funding costs, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operation.
While our banking subsidiaries generally have not faced, and currently are not facing, liquidity difficulties in any material respect, if we or our banking subsidiaries are unable to obtain the funding we need on terms commercially acceptable to us for an extended period of time for reasons of Won devaluation or otherwise, we may not be able to ensure our financial viability, meet regulatory requirements, implement our strategies or compete effectively. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Overall Business — Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, bond and equity prices, and other market factors have affected and will continue to affect our business.”
As of December 31, 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 2012, ￦5,8882014,W6,150 billion, ￦6,103W6,680 billion and ￦6,150W6,443 billion, or 4.22%3.68%, 4.33%3.82% and 3.68%3.33%, respectively, of Shinhan Bank’s total deposits in Korean Won were deposits made by litigants in connection with legal proceedings in Korean courts. Court deposits carry interest rates, which are generally lower than market rates.
In addition, we obtain funding through borrowings and the issuances of debt and equity securities, primarily through Shinhan Bank. Our borrowings consist mainly of borrowings from financial institutions, the Korean government and Korean government-affiliated funds. Call money, which is available in both Won and foreign currencies, is obtained from the domestic call loan market, a short-term loan market for loans with maturities of less than one month. As for our long-term debt, it is principally in the form of corporate debt securities issued by Shinhan Bank. Since 1999, Shinhan Bank has actively issued and continues to issue long-term debt securities with maturities of over one year in the Korean fixed-income market. Shinhan Bank and we have maintained one of the highest credit ratings in the domestic fixed-income market since their inception in 1999 and 2001, respectively. As Shinhan Bank maintains one of the highest debt ratings in the fixed-income market in Korea, we believe that Shinhan Bank will be able to obtain replacement funding through the issuance of long-term debt securities. Shinhan Bank’s interest rates on long-term debt securities are in general 20 to 30 basis points higher than the interest rates offered on their deposits. However, since long-term debt is not subject to premiums paid for deposit insurance and the Bank of Korea reserves, we estimate that our funding costs on long-term debt securities are generally on par with our funding costs on deposits. In addition, we, Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Card, may also issue long-term debt securities denominated in foreign currencies in overseas markets, and Shinhan Bank and Shinhan Card have global medium term notes programs under which foreign currency-denominated notes may be issued with an aggregate program limit of US$8 billion. As of December 31, 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 2011,2014, our long-term debt amounted to ￦42,279W42,021 billion, ￦42,670W40,303 billion and ￦41,677W37,936 billion, respectively.
We also have funding requirements for our credit card activities. We obtain funding for our credit card activities from a variety of sources, primarily in Korea. The principal sources of funding for Shinhan Card are debentures, commercial papers (including call money), borrowings from the holding company and third-parties, which amounted to ￦10,923W11,309 billion, ￦1,043W440 billion, ￦700W700 billion, ￦170W50 billion, or 85.1%90.5%, 8.1%3.5%, 5.5%5.6% and 1.3%0.4%, respectively, of the funding for our credit card activities, as of December 31, 2012.2014. Unlike other credit card companies, Shinhan Card has the benefit of obtaining funding at favorable rates through loans from Shinhan Financial Group, which currently maintains the highest credit rating assigned by local rating agencies. Shinhan Card aims to further diversify its funding sources and more actively tap the domestic and international capital markets to ensure access to liquidity as needed.
Credit ratings affect the cost and other terms upon which we and our subsidiaries are able to obtain funding. Domestic and international rating agencies regularly evaluate us and our subsidiaries and their ratings of our and our subsidiaries’ long-term debt are based on a number of factors, including our financial strength as well as conditions affecting the financial services industry generally.
Our holding company does not receive credit ratings from international rating agencies since it has not engaged in debt financing from overseas sources to date.
There can be no assurance that that we or our subsidiaries will maintain our current credit ratings if, among other reasons, the global or Korean economy were to face another downturn, there are any changes in our corporate
governance or our businesses significantly deteriorate. Our failure to maintain current credit ratings and outlooks could increase the cost of our funding, limit our access to capital markets and other borrowings, and require us to post additional collateral in financial transactions, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity, net interest margins and profitability.
Secondary funding sources also include call money, borrowings from the Bank of Korea and other short-term borrowings which amounted to ￦13,057W12,032 billion, ￦13,846W11,795 billion and ￦11,976W16,924 billion as of December 31, 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 2012,2014, respectively, each representing 6.2%5.1%, 6.1%4.9% and 5.3%6.5%, respectively, of our total funding as of such dates.
We may also from time to time obtain funding through issuance of equity securities. For example, in the first quarter of 2009, we conducted a rights offering in the face of an expanding global credit crisis commencing in the second half of 2008 in order to
enhance our capital position to prepare for potential contingencies, despite having fully met the required capital adequacy ratios required under applicable laws and regulations and not facing any significant liquidity constraints or financial distress. As a result of such offering, which was substantially fully subscribed and resulted in a capital increase of approximately 16.4%, we raised approximately ￦1,310W1,310 billion (before underwriting commissions and other offering expenses). The proceeds from the rights offering was used to support our existing business operations and other general corporate purposes.
In limited situations, we may also issue redeemable preferred shares and redeemable convertible preferred shares which are convertible into our common shares, for example, to help fund major acquisitions such as Chohung Bank and LG Card, as well as to finance the redemption of existingand/or preferred shares. For example, in August 2003, in order to partly fund our acquisition of Chohung Bank, we raised a total of ￦2,552W2,552 billion through domestic private placements of redeemable preferred shares and redeemable convertible preferred shares to domestic financial institutions and governmental entities in Korea, all of which shares have since been redeemed or converted. In addition, in January 2007, partly to fund the acquisition of LG Card, we raised a total of ￦3,750W3,750 billion through domestic private placements of redeemable preferred shares and redeemable convertible preferred shares, all of which have been redeemed as of the date hereof, and in April 2011, we issued redeemable preferred shares to fund redemption of such securities. For further details on the terms of these preferred shares, including scheduled redemption dates, dividend rates and conversion ratios, see “Item 10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation — Description of Preferred Stock.”
Pursuant to laws and regulations in Korea, we may redeem our preferred stock to the extent of our retained earnings of the previous fiscal year, net of certain reserves. At this time, we expect that cash from our future operations would be adequate to provide us with sufficient capital resources to enable us to redeem our preferred stock on or prior to their scheduled maturities. In the event there is a short-term shortage of liquidity to make the required cash payments for redemption as a result of, among other things, failure to receive dividend payments from our operating subsidiaries on time or as a result of significant expenditures resulting from future acquisitions, we plan to raise cash liquidity through the issuance of long-term debt in the Korean fixed-income market in advance of the scheduled maturity on our preferred stock. To the extent we need to obtain additional liquidity, we plan to do so through the issuance of long-term corporate debentures or further preferred stock and/or the use of our other secondary funding sources.
We generally may not acquire our own shares except in certain limited circumstances including, without limitation,such as a reduction in capital.capital reduction. However, pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and regulations under the Financial Holding Companies Act, we may purchase our own shares on the KRX KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange or through a tender offer, or retrieve our own shares from a trust company upon termination of a trust agreement subject to the restrictions that (1) the aggregate purchase price of such shares may not exceed the total amount available for distribution of dividends at the end of the preceding fiscal year less the amounts of dividends and reserves for such fiscal year, subtracted by the sum of (a) the purchase price of treasury stock acquired if any treasury stock has been purchased after the end of the preceding fiscal year pursuant to the Commercial Act or the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, (b) the amount subject to a trust contract, and (c) the amount of dividends approved at the ordinary general shareholders’ meeting after the end of the preceding fiscal year and the amount of retained earnings reserve required under the Commercial Act; plus if any treasury stock has been disposed of after the end of the preceding fiscal year, the acquisition cost of such treasury stock, and (2) the purchase of such shares shall meet the requisite ratio under the
Financial Holding Companies Act and regulations thereunder. We may purchase our own shares for the purpose of cancellation with profits through the KRX KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange, or through a tender offer acquire interests in our own shares through agreements with trust companies, subject to the same restrictions on the purchase price as described in this paragraph. In addition, pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, in certain limited circumstances, dissenting holders of shares have the right to require us to purchase their shares.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Guarantees
In the ordinary course of our business, we have certain contractual cash obligations and commitments which extend for several years. As we are able to obtain liquidity and funding through various sources as described in “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” above, we do not believe that these contractual cash obligations and commitments will have a material effect on our liquidity or capital resources.

Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, our subsidiaries make various commitments and guarantees to meet the financing needs of our customers. Commitments and guarantees are usually in the form of, among others, commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letter of credit and performance guarantees. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible loss amount if the counterparty draws down the commitment or we should fulfill our obligation under the guarantee and the counterparty fails to perform under the contract.

Notes:
| (1) | Commitments to extend credit represent unfunded portions of authorizations to extend credit in the form of loans. The commitments expire on fixed dates and a customer is required to comply with predetermined conditions to draw funds under the commitments. |
| (2) | Commercial letters of credit are undertakings on behalf of customers authorizing third parties to draw drafts on us up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions. These are generally short-term and collateralized by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate. Commitments to extend credit, including credit lines, are in general subject to provisions that allow us to withdraw such commitments in the event there are material adverse changes affecting an obligor. |
| (3) | Financial guarantees are contracts that require us to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognized initially at their fair value, and the initial fair value is amortized over the life of the financial guarantee. The financial guarantee liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortized amount and the present value of any expected payment when a payment under the guarantee has become probable. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities. |
| (4) | Performance guarantees are issued to guarantee customers’ tender bids on construction or similar projects or to guarantee completion of such projects in accordance with contractual terms. They are also issued to support a customer’s obligation to supply products, commodities, maintenance or other services to third parties |
| (5) | Liquidity facilities to SPEs represent irrevocable commitments to provide contingent credit lines including commercial paper purchase agreements to special purpose entities for which we serve as the administrator. |
| (6) | Acceptances represent guarantees by us to pay a bill of exchange drawn on a customer. We expect most acceptances to be presented, but reimbursement by the customer is normally immediate. |
| (7) |
|
Endorsed bills represent notes transferred to third parties by us. We are obligated to fulfill the duty of payment if the person primarily liable does not honor the bill on the due date. |

In 2012,2014, we accrued ￦0.1W0.1 billion for retirement bonus.
Prior to April 1, 2010, we granted stock options to our chairman, our president and chief executive officer and other directors and executive officers as described below in “Item 6.E. Share Ownership — Stock Options.” For options granted prior to March 19, 2008, we are required to pay in cash the difference between the exercise and the market price at the date of exercise. These options are subject to a vesting period of two or three years from the grant date and require continued employment for two to three years. Upon vesting, options may be exercised during a period commencing two or three years from the grant date and ending four years thereafter. In December 2008 and March 2009, in light of growing concerns relating to the global financial crisis, our and our subsidiaries’ directors and officers voluntarily returned stock options exercisable into a total of 85,840 shares and 614,735 shares, respectively, which were subsequently rescinded.

For performance units granted prior to April 1, 2010, the performance review period was three years, and the payout was made at the end of the three-year term. For performance units granted on or after April 1, 2010 until December 31, 2014, the applicable performance review period has been extended principally tois generally four years (and to a limited extent, five years), and the payment is made at the end of such four- or five-year term.

In addition, while the performance shares are paid out in cash at the end of the adjustment period, the grantee is contractually required to use the payout solely to purchase our shares in the market at the then-prevailing market price.

The performance shares are paid out in cash at the end of the applicable adjustment period (even if employment is terminated prior to such date, provided that for performance shares granted prior to January 1, 2014 the payment was or will be made at the time of termination of employment. such termination), and the grantee is contractually and in accordance with our internal regulations required to use the payout solely to purchase our shares in the market at the then-prevailing market price.

Under Korean law, we may not terminate full time employees except under certainlimited circumstances.
Since our acquisition of Chohung Bank in 2003, we have not experienced any general employee work stoppages and consider our employee relations to be good.
Under the Korean National Pension Law, we annually contribute an amount equal to 4.5% of employee wages and contribute 4.5% of employees’ wages which are deducted from such wages to the National Pension Management Corporation. In addition, pursuant to the Employee Retirement Security Act, we operate a retirement pension system under which we make annual contributions to pension funds managed by financial institutions (which replaced our former retirement pension system under which we managed the pension fund in-house) that provide employees both regular pension payments and a lump sum payment upon termination of employment. We believe that our retirement pension system confers the following benefits: (1) insulation of employees from the risk of default on their pension payments as the pension funds are deposited with large financial institutions; (2) offer of varied forms of payment, i.e., regular pension payments and a lump sum payment, upon termination of employment; (3) offer to employees the option to make investment decisions for his or her individual pension account and (4) elimination of the ability of employees to cash in his or her retirement fund prematurely, thereby guaranteeing such employee a lump sum payment upon termination of employment. Under this retirement pension system, we and our subsidiaries can opt for either a defined benefit plan or a defined contribution plan, or a combination of both. Under the defined benefit plan, the amount of
pension payable upon an employee’s retirement is fixed in advance, and the employer is responsible for making the requisite payments to the pension fund and making investment decisions in relation to the fund assets. Under the defined contribution plan, the employee sets aside a fixed percentage or amount of his salaries to the pension fund and exercises investment decisions for his or her individual pension account. As of December 31, 2010, 20112012, 2013 and 2012,2014, we recognized liabilities for defined benefit obligations of ￦170W222 billion, ￦275W118 billion and ￦214W309 billion, respectively.

Legal Proceedings
As of December 31, 2012,2014, we and our subsidiaries were defendants in pending lawsuits (including any government proceedings) in the aggregate claim amount of ￦754W376 billion, for which we recorded a provision of ￦136W33 billion.
During the global economic slowdown and a downturn in the Korean stock market in the second half of 2008, investment funds whose performance was tied to domestic and foreign stock market indexes experienced a
sharp fall in their rates of return. Consequently, investors in these funds brought lawsuits againstShinhan Bank, like many other commercial banks in Korea, that sold suchis currently subject to litigation in relation to investment fund products based on the allegation that such banks used defective sales practices in selling such funds, suchknows as failing to comply with disclosure requirements or unfairly inducing them to invest in the funds. For example, in 2009, we, like other commercial banks that sold similar products, became a defendant in lawsuits in connection with the sale of foreign currency derivatives products known as “KIKOs,”“KIKOs”. KIKOs, which standsstand for “knock-in knock-out,” are foreign currency derivative products under the terms of which the seller is obligated to pay the buyer a certain of our customers comprised mostly of small- and medium-sized enterprises. The KIKOs, which are intended to be hedging instruments, operate so thatamount if the value of Korean Won increases toappreciates beyond a certain level we are requiredand the buyer is obligated to pay the purchasersseller a certain amount and if the value of Korean Won falls belowappreciates beyond a certain level,level. Intended as a hedging instrument, these products were sold to mostly small businesses primarily prior to the purchasersonset of KIKOs are required to pay us a certain amount. Asthe global financial crisis in 2008, but when the Korean Won significantly and suddenly depreciated againstduring the U.S. dollar inglobal financial crisis, the second half of 2008, purchasers of KIKOs were required underinvestors became obligated to pay a substantial sum to the relevant contracts to make large payments to us, and some of such purchasers filed lawsuitsbanks, including Shinhan Bank. Subsequently, the investors brought suit to nullify their obligations under the allegation that we did not sufficientlycontracts on grounds of imperfect sale alleging failure on the part of the selling banks to fully disclose the risks in investing in KIKOs and unfairly induced them to make such investments.associated risk. As of December 31, 2012, we2014, the courts had won 26 outconclusively found in our favor in 45 of 3754 KIKO-related cases and at least partially against us in the lower court level. If we lose our cases on appeal, the court may nullify the contracts under which KIKO products were sold and order us to return payments received from the customers.remaining nine cases. As of December 31, 2012,2014, seven KIKO-related cases were in proceeding for which the aggregate amount of the outstanding KIKO-related claims in dispute was ￦205.9W46.6 billion for whichand we set aside ￦24.4W6.1 billion as allowance.
In addition to the KIKO-related claims, we have also faced complaints and, to a lesser extent, litigation from customers based on claimsallowance in respect of (i) inadequate disclosure of risk related to the potential loss of principal when we sold currency forward contracts designed to hedge against currency risks in overseas mutual fund investments, (ii) approval of customer applications for purchases of our investment products with missing information without first confirming such missing items with customers and (iii) our discretionary liquidation of small-size investment funds as permitted under the Financial Services and Capital Markets Act but without first seeking customer approval. In connection with the foregoing claims, we were defendants in two court proceedings for an aggregate claim amount of ￦0.8 billion as of December 31, 2012, for which we set aside a minimal amount as allowance.claims.
In November 2005, Shinhan Bank purchased the shares of Shinho Paper Co., Ltd. (currently known as Artone Paper Co., Ltd.) (“Shinho”) held by Aram Corporate Restructuring Association (“Aram”) from Choong-Shik Lee, an executive member of the Aram, who allegedly sold such shares against the will of the other members of Aram in an act of embezzlement (the “Embezzlement”). Chung Wook Uhm, who was then in charge of the management of Shinho, brought claim for damages against Shinhan Bank on the grounds that (i) Shinhan Bank was aware of the Embezzlement when it bought the shares and (ii) Shinhan Bank caused forfeiture of Chung Wook Uhm’s management rights when it exercised its voting rights in favor of Kuk- Il Paper MFG Co., Ltd. (“Kuk-Il”), which had announced its intention to attempt a hostile takeover of Shinho. In our rebuttal, we argued that we did not participate in the alleged Embezzlement since Shinhan Bank properly purchased the shares through a block trade on the Korea Exchange during trading hours. In September 2011, the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of Chung Wook Uhm, ordering Shinhan Bank and Choong-Shik Lee to jointly and severally compensate approximately ￦25W25 billion to Chung Wook Uhm as damages for his loss of management rights onrights. In August 2014, the grounds that (i) Shinhan Bank either knew or could have knownappellate court ruled partly against us and set the Embezzlement and (ii) Shinhan Bank either participated in or aided and abetted the Embezzlementamount of damages payable by exercising its voting rights in favor of Kuk-Il.us atW15 billion. We have made advance contingent payment ofW21 billion (which amount includes interest) to Chung Wook Uhm and have appealed and such appealto the Supreme Court of Korea, where the case is currently pending at the Seoul High Court.
In March 2008, the Korea Federation of Banks, together with 16 banks, including Shinhan Bank, brought a joint claim against the Fair Trade Commission of Korea (the “FTC”) in the Seoul High Court for an order invalidating the FTC’s recent measures recommending banks to use a revised standard contract for loan transactions (the “FTC Recommendation”). On April 6, 2011, the Seoul High Court dismissed the claim for invalidation on the grounds that (i) the terms of the previous standard contract, which provide that banks and customers shall “mutually agree” on the party responsible for bearing the stamp duty, costs and expenses associated with the establishment and registration of the mortgage in connection with bank loans, are unfair and (ii) the revised standard contract recommended by the FTC Recommendation, which expressly sets out the specific parties responsible for bearing each of the itemized costs and expenses associated with bank loans, is fair and legitimate. In particular, the Seoul High Court noted that the previous standard form contract is unfair
because a bank may abuse its advantageous position as a lender by requiring customers to bear the costs that should have be borne by the bank in loan transactions. Since July 1, 2011, banks in Korea have been using the revised standard form contract pursuant to the FTC Recommendation, the terms of which require the costs and expenses associated with the establishment and registration of the right to collateral security in connection with bank loans to be borne by a specified party (either the bank or the customer) depending on the nature of the costs and expenses. Certain of Shinhan Bank’s customers have filed lawsuits against Shinhan Bank which are currently pending, alleging that it should return the mortgage registration expenses paid by such customers under mortgage loan agreements that did not reflect the amendments instituted by the Korea Fair Trade Commission. As of December 31, 2012, there were 109 such cases outstanding for a total amount in dispute of ￦11.3 billion. There is no assurance that additional lawsuits will not be filed against Shinhan Bank on similar or other grounds, and the final outcome of the existing and any such new litigation remains uncertain.pending.
In May 2011, Shinhan Bank commenced an action against Dongah Construction Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Dongah”) and two of its employees in connection with such employees’ embezzlement of ￦89.8W89.8 billion from funds held in a trust account managed by Shinhan Bank on behalf of Dongah’s creditors. Through the action, Shinhan Bank sought, among other things, a declaratory judgment finding that Shinhan Bank is not liable for the embezzlement on the basis that Shinhan Bank properly remitted the trust funds at issue in accordance with the release instruction duly executed by the employees of Dongah. Shinhan Bank further claimed compensation for damages from the employees of Dongah in the amount of ￦89.8W89.8 billion. Dongah, in its counterclaim, alleged that Shinhan Bank should reinstate the embezzled funds on the grounds that Shinhan Bank, as the trustee, did not manage the trust account properly and thereby caused reduction in trust funds. In May 2011, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed Shinhan Bank’s claim, ruling that Shinhan Bank’s transfer of the funds was not in accordance with the terms of the trust agreement and therefore, inappropriate. The court concurrently admitted Dongah’s counterclaim and ordered Shinhan Bank to restore the embezzled trust funds by depositing ￦89.8W89.8 billion, while accepting Shinhan Bank’s claim for compensatory damages against the employees of Dongah in the amount of ￦89.8W89.8 billion and interest accrued thereon (except the claim for loss incurred by delay). Shinhan Bank appealed to the Seoul High Court alleging that Shinhan Bank is not liable for the embezzlement or, in the alternative, that Dongah should reinstate ￦42.7W42.7 billion as unjust profits since such funds were eventually credited to the account of Dongah by its employees and pay damages to Shinhan Bank in the amount of ￦18.8W18.8 billion for Dongah’s failure to properly manage and supervise its employees. In April 2012, the Seoul High Court dismissed Shinhan Bank’s claim that it was not liable for the embezzlement and ordered Shinhan Bank to restore the embezzled trust funds by depositing ￦96.2W96.2 billion (representing the principal amount of the embezzled funds and profit that would have been earned by the trust account through March 13, 2012 absent the embezzlement) and paying interest on such deposit amount until the date on which such amount is deposited in full. The Seoul High Court, however, admitted
Shinhan Bank’s alternative claim and ordered Dongah to pay ￦61.5W61.5 billion (representing the sum of ￦42.7W42.7 billion and ￦18.8W18.8 billion claimed by Shinhan Bank as described above) and interest accrued thereon to Shinhan Bank. Pursuant to the ruling of the Seoul High Court, Shinhan Bank has deposited ￦96.8W96.8 billion to the trust account managed by Shinhan Bank on behalf of Dongah’s creditors. Shinhan Bank subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court of Korea. In addition, the Financial Supervisory Service commenced an investigation of Shinhan Bank in connection with this incident, and, in July 2012, issued thean institutional warningswarning against Shinhan Bank. The above lawsuit is currently pending in the Supreme Court of Korea.
The Financial Supervisory Service conducted a comprehensive audit of Shinhan Bank from November to December 2012, and in July 2013, notified Shinhan Bank of an institutional caution, imposed disciplinary actions against 65 Shinhan Bank employees and assessed a fine ofW87.5 million after finding that Shinhan Bank had illegally monitored customer accounts, breached confidentiality with respect to certain financial transactions and violated its obligation to disclose and report an investment in an affiliated company to the Financial Services Commission. Furthermore, in March 2013 the Financial Supervisory Service conducted a special audit of Shinhan Bank as to an alleged malfunctioning of its financial computer network and in December 2013, notified Shinhan Bank of an institutional caution and imposed disciplinary actions against five Shinhan Bank employees after finding that Shinhan Bank did not properly maintain its information technology administrator account and vaccine server.
The Financial Supervisory Service also conducted a special audit of Shinhan Card, together with BC Card and KB Kookmin Card, from June to July 2013, in relation to alleged imperfect sales of insurance products, and in March 2014, issued an institutional warning against each of the three credit card companies based on a finding that card customers were provided inadequate or misleading disclosures regarding the risks relating to such products at the time of sale. The Financial Supervisory Service also imposed disciplinary actions against three Shinhan Card employees and assessed a fine ofW10 million against Shinhan Card as well as similar sanctions against BC Card and KB Kookmin Card. In December 2014, the Financial Supervisory Service also issued institutional cautions against Shinhan Life for selling insurance products without adequate disclosure and for incomplete payments of agency fees, together with a fine ofW338 million in relation to the former case.
In August 2014, the Fair Trade Commission of Korea (“KFTC”) investigated four major commercial banks in Korea, including Shinhan Bank, regarding alleged rate fixing (including in relation to certificates of deposit (“CD”) rates) by commercial banks. It is our current understanding that the investigation has not been concluded and we are not aware as to when it will be concluded. We also understand that the current investigation is a continuation of an investigation by the KFTC in July 2012 in relation to the same subject matter, which to our knowledge also has not been concluded to-date. We have not received any notice or report of formal findings by the KFTC in relation to the investigation in July 2012 or the one in August 2014. Since the investigation has not been concluded and the KFTC has not announced any formal findings, it is presently difficult to speculate what the KFTC has found or will find or how it will rule on the subject matter and accordingly what impact such investigation will have on our results of operations, capital or liquidity. We do note however it is structurally difficult, if not impossible, for commercial banks, including Shinhan Bank, to manipulate the CD rates in violation of Korean antitrust laws since the CD rates are determined and reported daily by the Korea Financial Investment Association (“KOFIA”) based on the average yields (after excluding the highest and the lowest yields) submitted by 10 securities companies in Korea (and not commercial banks) selected by the KOFIA for the purpose of computing the CD rates. Under Korean antitrust laws and regulations, sanctions that may be imposed for illegal manipulation of the CD rates include corrective orders and/or fines. Based on information available to-date, our management currently believes that the investigation or the result thereof is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, capital or liquidity; however, if Shinhan Bank or any of our other subsidiaries were to be found guilty of wrongdoing in regards to this or other subject matter and/or become subject to any penalty or other regulatory sanctions, there is no assurance that it will not have a material adverse effect on our reputation and, to a lesser extent, our results of operations, capital or liquidity.
Our management believes that these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, equity or results of operations. For further details of these and other litigations, see Note 44 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

The Korea Exchange
Pursuant to the Korea Stock and Futures Exchange Act, as of January 27, 2005, the Korea Stock Exchange, which began its operations in 1956, the KRX KOSDAQ, which began its operation in July 1, 1996, and the Korea Futures Exchange (as an exchange operating futures market and options market), which began its operation in February 1, 1999, were unified to form the Korea Exchange.
The Korea Exchange was established in a form of a limited liability stock company in accordance with the Korean Commercial Code with the minimum paid-in capital of ￦100W100 billion in accordance with the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. TheHistorically, the Korea Exchange was the only exchange authorized under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. On May 28, 2013, however, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act was amended to implement a license system under which a license may be granted to an exchange upon satisfaction of certain requirements. In addition, the Financial Services Commission has authorized the establishment of alternative trading systems that engage in the trading of listed beneficial certificates, among other things, for a multiple number of parties through electronic means. Notwithstanding the foregoing regulatory developments, the Korea Exchange is presently the only duly licensed exchange in Korea that serves as a spot market and a futures market. Itthere have been no definitive developments regarding newly licensed exchanges or alternative trading systems in Korea. The Korea Exchange operates and supervises threefour market divisions, the KRX KOSPI Market Division, the KRX KOSDAQ Market Division, the KRX Futures Market Division and the KRX FuturesKONEX Market Division. It has its principal office in Busan.
As of December 31, 2012,2014, the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the KOSPI was approximately ￦1,154.3W1,192 trillion. The average daily trading volume of equity securities for 20122014 was approximately 486.5278 million shares with an average transaction value of ￦4,823.6W3,984 billion.
Even though the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act prescribed that the Korea Exchange be established in a form of a limited liability stock company, the Korea Exchange is expected to play a public role as a public organization. In order to safeguard against a possible conflict, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act has placed restrictions on the ownership and operation of the Korea Exchange and any newly established exchanges approved by the Financial Services Commission as follows:
Any person’s ownership of shares in the Korea Exchange is limited to 5% or less except for an investment trust company or investment company established under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, or the Korean government. However, upon prior approval from the Financial Services Commission, more than 5% ownership in Korea Exchange is permitted if necessary for forming a strategic alliance with a foreign stock or futures exchange;exchange and such amount of ownership is approved by the Financial Services Commission on grounds that such ownership may contribute to the efficiency and soundness of capital markets and the distribution of shares held by shareholders;
The number of outside directors on the board of directors of the Korea Exchange shall be more than half of the total number of directors;
Any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, transfer or consolidation of business, spin off, stock swap in its entirety or transfer of shares in its entirety of the Korea Exchange will receive prior approval from the Financial Services Commission; and
In the event the Financial Services Commission determines that the chief executive officer of the Korea Exchange is not appropriate for the position, the Financial Services Commission can request the Korea Exchange upon reasonable cause, within one month from the chief executive officer’s election, to dismiss the chief executive officer. Subsequently, the chief executive officer will be suspended from performing his duties and the Korea Exchange will elect a new chief executive officer within two months from the request.
The Korea Exchange has the power in some circumstances to suspend trading in the shares of a given company or to de-list a security. The Korea Exchange also restricts share price movements. All listed companies are required to file accounting reports annually, semiannually and quarterly and to release immediately all information that may affect trading in a security.
The Government has in the past exerted, and continues to exert, substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector of the Korean economy and its actions may depress or boost the stock market. In the past, the Government has informally both encouraged and restricted the declaration and payment of dividends, induced mergers to reduce what it considers excess capacity in a particular industry and induced private companies to offer publicly their securities.
The Korea Exchange publishes the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (“KOSPI”) every ten seconds, which is an index of all equity securities listed on the Korea Exchange. Historical movements in KOSPI are set out in the following.

Note:
| (1) | The figures represent the daily closing price of the first trading day of the respective year. |
Shares are quoted “ex-dividend” on the first trading day of the relevant company’s accounting period. “Ex-dividend” refers to a share no longer carrying the right to receive the following dividend payment because the settlement date occurs after the record date for determining which shareholders are entitled to receive dividends. “Ex-rights”
“Ex-rights” refers to shares no longer carrying the right to participate in the following rights offering or bonus issuance because the settlement date occurs after the record date for determining which shareholders are entitled to new shares. The calendar year is the accounting period for the majority of listed companies, this may account for the drop in KOSPI between its closing level at the end of one calendar year and its opening level at the beginning of the following calendar year.
With certain exceptions, principally to take account of a share being quoted “ex-dividend” and “ex-rights,” permitted upward and downward movements in share prices of any category of shares on any day are limited under the rules of the Korea Exchange to 15% of the previous day’s closing price of the shares, rounded down as set out below:
Previous Day’s Closing Price | Rounded Down to Won | |||
Less than 1,000 | 1 | |||
1,000 to less than 5,000 | 5 | |||
5,000 to less than 10,000 | 10 | |||
10,000 to less than 50,000 | 50 | |||
50,000 to less than 100,000 | 100 | |||
100,000 to less than 500,000 | 500 | |||
500,000 or more | 1,000 | |||
As a consequence, if a particular closing price is the same as the price set by the fluctuation limit, the closing price may not reflect the price at which persons would have been prepared, or would be prepared to continue, if so permitted, to buy and sell shares. Orders are executed on an auction system with priority rules to deal with competing bids and offers.
Due to deregulation of restrictions on brokerage commission rates, the brokerage commission rate on equity securities transactions may be determined by the parties, subject to commission schedules being filed with the Korea Exchange by the financial investment companies with brokerage licenses. In addition, a securities transaction tax of 0.15% of the sales price will generally be imposed on the transfer of shares or certain securities
representing rights to subscribe for shares on the Korea Exchange. A special agricultural and fishery tax of 0.15% of the sales prices will also be imposed on transfer of these shares and securities on the Korea Exchange. See “Item 10.E. Taxation — Korean Taxation.”

The Korean securities markets are principally regulated by the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. The law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, requires specified information to be made available by listed companies to investors and establishes rules regarding margin trading, proxy solicitation, takeover bids, acquisition of treasury shares and reporting requirements for shareholders holding substantial interests.
Protection of Customer’s Interest in Case of Insolvency of Financial Investment Companies
Under Korean law, the relationship between a customer and a financial investment company in connection with a securities sell or buy order is deemed to be consignment and the securities acquired by a consignment agent (i.e., the securities company) through such sell or buy order are regarded as belonging to the customer in so far as the customer and the consignment agent’s creditors are concerned. Therefore, in the event of a bankruptcy or reorganization procedure involving a financial investment company, the customer of the financial investment company is entitled to the proceeds of the securities sold by the financial investment company. In addition, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act recognizes the ownership of a customer in securities held by a financial investment company in such customer’s account.
When a customer places a sell order with a financial investment company which is not a member of the Korea Exchange and this financial investment company places a sell order with another financial investment company which is a member of the Korea Exchange, the customer is still entitled to the proceeds of the securities sold received by the non-member company from the member company regardless of the bankruptcy or reorganization of the non-member company. Likewise, when a customer places a buy order with a non-member company and the non-member company places a buy order with a member company, the customer has the legal
right to the securities received by the non-member company from the member company because the purchased securities are regarded as belonging to the customer in so far as the customer and the non-member company’s creditors are concerned.
In addition, under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the Korea Exchange is obliged to indemnify any loss or damage incurred by a counterparty as a result of a breach by its members. If a financial investment company which is a member of the Korea Exchange breaches its obligation in connection with a buy order, the Korea Exchange is obliged to pay the purchase price on behalf of the breaching member. Therefore, the customer can acquire the securities that have been ordered to be purchased by the breaching member.
As the cash deposited with a financial investment company is regarded as belonging to the financial investment company, which is liable to return the same at the request of its customer, the customer cannot take back deposited cash from the financial investment company if a bankruptcy or reorganization procedure is instituted against the financial investment company and, therefore, can suffer from loss or damage as a result. However, the Depositor Protection Act provides that the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation will, upon the request of the investors, pay each investor up to ￦50W50 million per financial institution in case of the financial investment company’s bankruptcy, liquidation, cancellation of securities business license or other insolvency events. The premiums related to this insurance are paid by financial investment companies. Pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a financial investment company with a dealing or brokerage license is required to deposit the cash received from its customers with the Korea Securities Finance Corporation, a special entity established pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act.
Set-off or attachment of cash deposits by securities companies with the Korea Securities Finance Corporation is prohibited. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution of the financial investment company, the cash so deposited shall be withdrawn and paid to the customer prior to payment to other creditors of the financial investment company.
Restrictions Applicable to ADSs
No Korean governmental approval is necessary for the sale and purchase of our ADSs in the secondary market outside Korea or for the withdrawal of shares of our common stock underlying the ADSs and the delivery inside Korea of shares in connection with the withdrawal, provided that a foreigner who intends to acquire the shares must obtain an investment registration card from the Financial Supervisory Service as described below. The acquisition of the shares by a foreigner must be immediately reported to the governor of the Financial Services Commission, either by the foreigner or by his standing proxy in Korea.
Persons who have acquired shares of our common stock as a result of the withdrawal of shares underlying our ADSs may exercise their preemptive rights for new shares, participate in free distributions and receive dividends on shares without any further Korean governmental approval.
Under current Korean laws and regulations, the depositary is required to obtain our prior consent for the number of shares of our common stock to be deposited in any given proposed deposit that exceeds the difference between:
(1) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock deposited by us for the issuance of our ADSs (including deposits in connection with the initial issuance and all subsequent offerings of our ADSs and stock dividends or other distributions related to these ADSs); and
| (1) | the aggregate number of shares of our common stock deposited by us for the issuance of our ADSs (including deposits in connection with the initial issuance and all subsequent offerings of our ADSs and stock dividends or other distributions related to these ADSs); and |
(2) the number of shares of our common stock on deposit with the depositary at the time of such proposed deposit. We have agreed to grant such consent to the extent that the total number of shares on deposit with the depositary would not exceed 40,432,628 at any time.
| (2) | the number of shares of our common stock on deposit with the depositary at the time of such proposed deposit. We have agreed to grant such consent to the extent that the total number of shares on deposit with the depositary would not exceed 40,432,628 at any time. |
Reporting Requirements for Holders of Substantial Interests
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, any person whose direct or beneficial ownership of our common stock with voting rights, whether in the form of shares of common stock or ADSs, certificates representing the rights to subscribe for shares and equity-related debt securities including convertible
bonds and bonds with warrants (which we refer to collectively as “Equity Securities”), together with the Equity Securities beneficially owned by certain related persons or by any person acting in concert with the person, accounts for 5% or more of the total outstanding shares (including Equity Securities of us held by such persons) is required to report the status of the holdings and the purpose of the holdings (for example, whether intending to seek management control) to the Financial Services Commission and the Korea Exchange within five business days after reaching the 5% ownership level. In addition, any change in the ownership interest subsequent to the report that equals or exceeds 1% of the total outstanding Equity Securities or change in the purpose of the holdings is required to be reported to the Financial Services Commission and the Korea Exchange within five business days from the date of the change (within ten days of the end of the month in which the change occurred, in the case of a person with no intent to seek management control and within ten days of the end of the quarter in which the change occurred, in the case of an institutional investor prescribed by the Financial Services Commission).
Violation of these reporting requirements may subject a person to criminal sanctions such as administrative sanctions, fines, or imprisonment and/or a loss of voting rights with respect to the portion of ownership of Equity Securities exceeding 5% of the total outstanding shares. In addition, the Financial Services Commission may order the disposal of the unreported Equity Securities. Any persons who reports management control as the purpose for its holdings is prohibited from acquiring additional shares or from exercising voting rights during the following five days following the reporting date.
In addition to the reporting requirements described above, any person whose direct or beneficial ownership of our stock accounts for 10% or more of the total issued and outstanding shares (which we refer to as a “major stockholder”) must report the status of his/her shareholding to the Korea Securities Futures Commission and the Korea Exchange within five days after he/she becomes a major stockholder. In addition, any change in the ownership interest subsequent to the report must be reported to the Korea Securities Futures Commission and the Korea Exchange within five days after the change occurred. Violation of these reporting requirements may subject a person to criminal sanctions such as fines or imprisonment. Any single stockholder or persons who have a special relationship with such stockholder that jointly acquire more than 10% (4% in case of non-financial business group companies) of the voting stock of a Korean financial holding company who controls national banks will be subject to reporting or approval requirements pursuant to the Financial Holding Company Act. See “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Supervision and Regulation — Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies — Restrictions on Financial Holding Company Ownership.”
Restrictions Applicable to Shares
Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws and Financial Services Commission regulations, as amended (collectively, the “Investment Rules”), foreigners may invest, with limited exceptions and subject to procedural requirements, in all shares of Korean companies, whether listed on the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or on the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange, unless prohibited by specific laws. Foreign investors may trade shares listed on the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or on the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange only through the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange, except in limited circumstances, including:
odd-lot trading of shares;
acquisition of shares (which we refer to as “Converted Shares”) by exercise of warrants, conversion rights or exchange rights under bonds with warrants, convertible bonds or exchangeable bonds or withdrawal rights under depositary receipts issued outside of Korea by a Korean company;
acquisition of shares as a result of inheritance, donation, bequest or exercise of stockholders’ rights, including preemptive rights or rights to participate in free distributions and receive dividends;
over-the-counter transactions between foreigners of a class of shares for which the ceiling on aggregate acquisition by foreigners, as explained below, has been reached or exceeded subject to certain exceptions; and
sale and purchase of shares at fair value between foreigners who are part of an investor group comprised of foreign companies investing under the control of a common investment manager pursuant to applicable laws or contract.
For over-the-counter transactions of shares between foreigners outside the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange for shares with respect to which the limit on aggregate foreign ownership has been reached or exceeded, a securities company licensed in Korea must act as an intermediary. Odd-lot trading of shares outside the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange must involve a licensed securities company in Korea as the other party. Foreign investors are prohibited from engaging in margin transactions with respect to shares that are subject to a foreign ownership limit.
The Investment Rules require a foreign investor who wishes to invest in shares on the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange (including Converted Shares and shares being issued for initial listing on the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or on KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange) to register its identity with the Financial Supervisory Service prior to making any such investment. The registration requirement does not, however, apply to foreign investors who acquire Converted Shares with the intention of selling such Converted Shares within three months from the date of acquisition. Upon registration, the Financial Supervisory Service will issue to the foreign investor an investment registration card, which must be presented each time the foreign investor opens a brokerage account
with a securities company. Foreigners eligible to obtain an investment registration card include foreign nationals who have not been residing in Korea for a consecutive period of six months or more, foreign governments, foreign municipal authorities, foreign public institutions, international financial institutions or similar international organizations, corporations incorporated under foreign laws and any person in any additional category designated by decree of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance under the Korean Securities and Exchange Act. All Korean offices of a foreign corporation as a group are treated as a separate foreigner from the offices of the corporation outside Korea for the purpose of investment registration. However, a foreign corporation or depositary issuing depositary receipts may obtain one or more investment registration cards in its name in certain circumstances as described in the relevant regulations.
Upon a foreign investor’s purchase of shares through the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange, no separate report by the investor is required because the investment registration card system is designed to control and oversee foreign investment through a computer system. However, a foreign investor’s acquisition or sale of shares outside the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange (as discussed above) must be reported by the foreign investor or his standing proxy to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service at the time of each such acquisition or sale. A foreign investor must ensure that any acquisition or sale by it of shares outside the Stock Market Division of the Korea Exchange or the KOSDAQ Market Division of the Korea Exchange in the case of trades in connection with a tender offer, odd-lot trading of shares, trades of a class of shares for which the aggregate foreign ownership limit has been reached or exceeded, is reported to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service by himself or his standing proxy, or, in the case of sale and purchase of shares at fair value between foreigners, who are part of an investor group comprised of foreign companies investing under the control of a common investment manager pursuant to applicable laws or contract. A foreign investor may appoint a standing proxy from among the Korea Securities Depository, foreign exchange banks (including domestic branches of foreign banks), securities companies (including domestic branches of foreign securities companies), asset management companies, futures trading companies and internationally recognized custodians which will act as a standing proxy to exercise stockholders’ rights or perform any matters related to the foregoing activities if the foreign investor does not perform these activities himself. Generally, a foreign investor may not permit any person, other than its standing proxy, to exercise rights relating to his shares or perform any tasks related thereto on his behalf. However, a foreign investor may be exempted from complying with these standing proxy rules with the approval of the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service in cases deemed inevitable by reason of conflict between laws of Korea and the home country of the foreign investor.
Certificates evidencing shares of Korean companies must be kept in custody with an eligible custodian in Korea. Only foreign exchange banks (including domestic branches of foreign banks), securities companies (including domestic branches of foreign securities companies), the Korea Securities Depository, asset management companies, futures trading companies and internationally recognized custodians are eligible to act as a custodian of shares for a non-resident or foreign investor. A foreign investor must ensure that his custodian deposits his shares with the Korea Securities Depository. However, a foreign investor may be exempted from
complying with this deposit requirement with the approval of the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service in circumstances where compliance with that requirement is made impracticable, including cases where compliance would contravene the laws of the home country of such foreign investor.
Under the Investment Rules, with certain exceptions, foreign investors may acquire shares of a Korean company without being subject to any foreign investment ceiling. As one such exception, designated public corporations are subject to a 40% ceiling on the acquisition of shares by foreigners in the aggregate. Designated public corporations may set a ceiling on the acquisition of shares by a single person in their articles of incorporation. Currently, Korea Electric Power Corporation is the only designated public corporation that has set such a ceiling. Furthermore, an investment by a foreign investor in 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares with voting rights of a Korean company is defined as a foreign direct investment under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act of Korea. Generally, a foreign direct investment must be reported to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy of Korea. The acquisition of shares of a Korean company by a foreign investor
may also be subject to certain foreign or other shareholding restrictions in the event that the restrictions are prescribed in a specific law that regulates the business of the Korean company. For a description of such restrictions applicable to Korean banks, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Supervision and Regulation — Principal Regulations Applicable to Banks — Restrictions on Bank Ownership.”

Description of Share Capital
This section provides information relating to our capital stock, including brief summaries of material provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, the Korean Commercial Code, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the Financial Holding Companies Act and certain related laws of Korea, all as currently in effect. The following summaries are intended to provide only summaries and are subject to the full text of the Articles of Incorporation and the applicable provisions of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, the Korean Commercial Code, and certain other related laws of Korea.
General
As of December 31, 20122014 and as of the date hereof, our authorized share capital is 1,000,000,000 shares. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we are authorized to issue shares of preferred stock up to one-half of all of the issued and outstanding shares. Furthermore, through an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, we
have created new classes of shares in addition to the common shares and the preferred shares. See “— Description of Preferred Stock — Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series 10)” and “— Description of Preferred Stock — Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Series 11).” As of December 31, 20122014 and as of the date hereof, the number of our issued and outstanding common shares was 474,199,587.
On January 25, 2007, we issued 28,990,000 Series 10 redeemable preferred shares and 14,721,000 Series 11 redeemable convertible preferred shares as part of our funding for the acquisition of LG Card, all of which were redeemed as of January 25, 2012.
On April 20, 2011, as part of funding for partial redemption of the Series 10 redeemable preferred stock and the Series 11 redeemable convertible preferred stock, we issued 11,100,000 shares of the Series 12 non-voting redeemable preferred stock. See “— Description of Preferred Stock — Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series 12).”. Other than as described above, there are no other preferred shares authorized, issued or outstanding as of the date hereof.
All of the issued and outstanding shares are fully-paid and non-assessable, and are in registered form. As of the date hereof, our authorized but unissued share capital consists of 373,684,849 shares. We may issue the unissued shares without further shareholder approval but subject to a board resolution as provided in the Articles of Incorporation. See “— Distribution of Free Shares.” Share certificates are issued in denominations of one, five, ten, 50, 100, 500, 1,000 and 10,000 shares. The par value of our common shares per share is ￦5,000.W5,000.
Dividends
Dividends are distributed to shareholders in proportion to the number of shares of the relevant class of capital stock owned by each shareholder following approval by the shareholders at an annual general meeting of shareholders. We pay full annual dividends on newly issued shares (such as the common shares representing the American depositary shares (“ADSs”)) for the year in which the new shares are issued. We declare our dividend annually at the annual general meeting of shareholders which is held within three months after the end of the fiscal year. Once declared, the annual dividend must be paid to the stockholders of record as of the end of the preceding fiscal year within one month after the annual general meeting unless otherwise resolved thereby. Annual dividends may be distributed either in (i) cash or (ii) shares provided that shares must be distributed at par value and, if the market price of the shares is less than their par value, dividends in shares may not exceed one-half of the total annual dividends (including dividends in shares). In addition to the annual dividend, we may also distribute cash dividends to the stockholders of record as of the end of March, June and September of each year upon a resolution by the board of directors. Under the Korean Commercial Code we do not have an obligation to pay any annual dividend unclaimed for five years from the scheduled payment date.
In addition, under the Korean Commercial Code and our Articles of Incorporation, we may pay interim dividends once during each fiscal year (in addition to the annual dividends). Interim dividends may be paid upon the resolution of the board of directors and are not subject to shareholder approval. The interim dividends, if any, will be paid to the shareholders of record at 12:00 a.m. midnight, July 1 of the relevant fiscal year in cash. Under the Korean Commercial Code, an interim dividend may not be more than the net assets on the balance sheet of the immediately preceding fiscal period, after deducting (i) the capital of the immediately preceding fiscal period, (ii) the sum of the capital reserve and legal reserve accumulated up to the immediately preceding fiscal period, (iii) the amount of earnings for dividend payment approved at the general shareholders’ meeting of the immediately preceding fiscal period, (iv) other special reserves accumulated up to the immediately preceding fiscal period, either pursuant to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation or to the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, and (v) amount of legal reserve that should be set aside for the current fiscal period following the interim dividend payment.
Under the Financial Holding Companies Act and the regulations thereunder, a financial holding company may not pay an annual dividend unless it has set aside as its legal reserve an amount equal to at least one-tenth of its net income after tax and shall set aside such amount as its legal reserve until its legal reserve reaches at least the aggregate amount of its stated capital.
Other than as set forth above and the dividend rights granted to preferred shareholders as further described in “— Description of Preferred Shares,” our articles of incorporation do not provide special rights to our common or preferred shareholders to share in our profits. For information regarding Korean taxes on dividends, see “—Taxation — Korean Taxation.”
Distribution of Free Shares
In addition to permitting dividends in the form of shares to be paid out of retained or current earnings, the Korean Commercial Code permits a company to distribute to its shareholders, in the form of free shares, an amount transferred from the capital surplus or legal reserve to stated capital. These free shares must be distributed to all of the shareholders pro rata. Our Articles of Incorporation require the same types of preferred shares to be distributed to the holders of preferred shares in case of distribution of free shares. For information regarding the treatment under Korean tax laws of free share distributions, see “Item 10.E. Taxation — Korean Taxation — Taxation of Dividends on Shares of Common Stock or American Depositary Shares.”
Preemptive Rights and Issuance of Additional Shares
Unless otherwise provided in the Korean Commercial Code, a company may issue authorized but unissued shares at such times and upon such terms as the board of directors of the company may determine. The company must offer the new shares on uniform terms to all shareholders who have preemptive rights and who are listed on the shareholders’ register as of the record date. Our shareholders are entitled to subscribe for any newly issued shares in proportion to their existing shareholdings. However, as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, we may issue new shares by resolution of board of directors to persons other than existing shareholders if those shares are (1) publicly offered (where the number of such shares so offered may not exceed 50% of our total number of issued and outstanding shares); (2) preferentially allocated to the members of the ESOA pursuant to relevant provisions of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act; (3) issued for the purpose of issuing depositary receipts pursuant to relevant provisions of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act (where the number of such shares so issued may not exceed 50% of our total number of issued and outstanding shares); (4) issued to directors or employees as a result of exercise of stock options we granted to them pursuant to the Korean Commercial Code; (5) issued to a financial investment company, a private equity fund or a special purpose company under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act; or (6) issued to any specified foreign investors, foreign or domestic financial institutions or alliance companies for operational needs such as introduction of advanced financial technology, improvement of its or subsidiaries’ financial structure and funding or strategic alliance (where such number of shares so issued may not exceed 50% of our total number of issued and outstanding shares). Under the Korean Commercial Code, a company may vary, without stockholders’ approval, the terms of such preemptive rights for different classes of shares. Public notice of the preemptive rights to new shares and the transferability thereof must be given not less than two weeks (excluding the period during which the shareholders’ register is closed) prior to the record date. We will notify the shareholders who are entitled to subscribe for newly issued shares of the deadline for subscription at least two weeks prior to the deadline. If a shareholder fails to subscribe on or before such deadline, the shareholder’s preemptive rights will lapse. Our board of directors may determine how to distribute shares in respect of which preemptive rights have not been exercised or where fractions of shares occur. Under the amended Korean Commercial Code,Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, if an enterprisea listed company intends to issue new shares by way of allotment to shareholders, it must issue a certificate of preemptive right to the newly issued shares. Furthermore, the company must list the newly issued shares on the Korea Exchange for a certain period of time or designate a securities company to broker and/or deal in such newly issued shares in order to ensure that they are properly distributed. In the event certain shareholder forfeit their right to subscribe to newly issued shares, the company may allot the forfeited shares to a third party under certain conditions, including in relation to the purchase price of such shares, although in principle, the company must withdraw the forfeited shares. Under the Korean Commercial Code, when a company issues new shares by way of allotment itto a third party, such company must also notify its stockholders or make public notice of the conditions and other details of such new shares not less than two weeks prior to theirthe relevant subscription payment date. Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, however, a listed company may substitute such notification or public notice by disclosing the material fact in a report publicly filed with the listing authorities.
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, members of a company’s employee stock ownership association, whether or not they are shareholders, have a preemptive right, subject to certain exceptions, to subscribe for up to 20% of the shares publicly offered pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. However, this right is exercisable only to the extent that the total number of
shares so acquired and held by such members does not exceed 20% of the total number of shares to be newly issued and shares then outstanding. As of December 31, 2012,2014, the ESOAemployee stock ownership association owned 18,787,06719,344,136 shares of our common stock.
General Meeting of Shareholders
There are two types of general meetings of shareholders: annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings. We are required to convene our annual general meeting within three months after the end of each fiscal year. Subject to a board resolution or court approval, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders may be held when necessary or at the request of our audit committee. In addition, under the Korean Commercial Code, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders may be held at the request of the shareholders holding shares for at least 6 months of an aggregate of 1.5% or more of the outstanding shares with voting rights of the listed company, subject to a board resolution or court approval. Furthermore, under the Financial Holding Companies Act of Korea, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders may be held at the request of the shareholders holding shares for at least 6 months of an aggregate of 1.5% (0.75% in the case of a financial holding company (i) whose total assets at the end of the latest fiscal year is ￦5W5 trillion or more and (ii) who is in control of two or more subsidiaries, each with total assets of ￦2W2 trillion or more) or more of the outstanding shares of the company, subject to a board resolution or court approval. Holders of non-voting shares may be entitled to request a general meeting of shareholders only to the extent the non-voting shares have become enfranchised as described under “— Voting Rights” below (hereinafter referred to as “enfranchised non-voting shares”). Meeting agendas are determined by the board of directors or proposed by holders of an aggregate of 3% or more of the outstanding shares with voting rights by way of a written proposal to the board of directors at least six weeks prior to the meeting. In addition, under the Korean Commercial Code, the meeting agenda may be proposed by the shareholders holding shares for at least 6 months of an aggregate of 1% (0.5% in the case of a listed company whose capital at the end of the latest operating year is ￦100W100 billion or more) or more of the outstanding shares of the listed company. Furthermore, under the Financial Holding Companies Act, the meeting agenda may be proposed by the shareholders holding shares for at least 6 months of an aggregate of 0.5% (0.25% in the case of a financial holding company (i) whose total assets at the end of the latest fiscal year is ￦5W5 trillion or more and (ii) who is in control of two or more subsidiaries, each with total assets of ￦2W2 trillion or more) or more of the outstanding shares of the company. Written notices stating the date, place and agenda of the meeting must be given to the shareholders at least two weeks prior to the date of the general meeting of shareholders; provided, that, notice may be given to holders of 1% or less of the total number of issued and outstanding shares which are entitled to vote, by placing at least two public notices at least two weeks in advance of the meeting in at least two daily newspapers or by using an electronic method defined under the Korean Commercial Code and related regulations at least two weeks in advance of the meeting. Currently, we useThe Korea Economic DailyandMaeil Business Newspaperfor the publication of such notices. Shareholders who are not on the shareholders’ register as of the record date are not entitled to receive notice of the general meeting of shareholders, and they are not entitled to attend or vote at such meeting. Holders of enfranchised non-voting shares who are on the shareholders’ register as of the record date are entitled to receive notice of the general meeting of shareholders and they are entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. Otherwise, holders of non-voting shares are not entitled to receive notice of or vote at general meetings of shareholders.
The general meeting of shareholders is held at our executive office (which is our registered executive office) or, if necessary, may be held anywhere in the vicinity of our executive office.
Voting Rights
Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each share. However, voting rights with respect to common shares that we hold and common shares that are held by a corporate shareholder, more than one-tenth of the outstanding capital stock of which is directly or indirectly owned by us, may not be exercised. Unless stated otherwise in a company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Korean Commercial Code permits holders of an aggregate of 3% (1%, in case of a company whose total assets as at the end of the latest fiscal year is ￦2W2 trillion or more) or more of the outstanding shares with voting rights to request cumulative voting when electing two or
more directors. Our Articles of Incorporation currently do not prohibit cumulative voting. In addition, under the
Korean Commercial Code, in case of appointment of an audit committee member who is an outside director, any shareholder holding more than 3% of the outstanding shares with voting rights shall not exercise its voting rights with respect to any portion of its shares exceeding the 3% limit; and in case of appointment of an audit committee member who is a non-outside director, the largest shareholder (together with certain related persons) holding more than 3% of the outstanding shares with voting rights shall not exercise its voting rights with respect to any portion of its shares exceeding the 3% limit.
The Korean Commercial Code and our Articles of Incorporation provide that an ordinary resolution may be adopted if approval is obtained from the holders of at least a majority of those common shares present or represented at such meeting and such majority also represents at least one-fourth of the total of our issued and outstanding common shares. Holders of non-voting shares (other than enfranchised non-voting shares) are not entitled to vote on any resolution or to receive notice of any general meeting of shareholders unless the agenda of the meeting includes consideration of a resolution on which such holders are entitled to vote. IfThe Korean Commercial Code provides that a company’s articles of incorporation may prescribe conditions for enfranchisement of non-voting shares. For example, if our general shareholders’ meeting resolves not to pay to holders of preferred shares the annual dividend as determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance of such shares, the holders of preferred shares will be entitled to exercise voting rights from the general shareholders’ meeting immediately following the meeting adopting such resolution until the end of the meeting to declare to pay such dividend with respect to the preferred shares. Holders of such enfranchised preferred shares have the same rights as holders of common shares to request, receive notice of, attend and vote at a general meeting of shareholders.
The Korean Commercial Code provides that to amend the Articles of Incorporation (which is also required for any change to the authorized share capital of the company) and in certain other instances, including removal of a director of a company, dissolution, merger or consolidation of a company, transfer of the whole or a significant part of the business of a company, acquisition of all of the business of any other company or issuance of new shares at a price lower than their par value, a special resolution must be adopted by the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of those shares present or represented at such meeting and such special majority must also represent at least one-third of the total issued and outstanding shares with voting rights of the company.
In addition, in the case of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or any merger or consolidation of a company or in certain other cases which affect the rights or interest of the shareholders of the preferred shares, a resolution must be adopted by a separate meeting of shareholders of the preferred shares. Such a resolution may be adopted if the approval is obtained from shareholders of at least two-thirds of the preferred shares present or represented at such meeting and such preferred shares also represent at least one-third of the total issued and outstanding preferred shares of the company.
A shareholder may exercise his voting rights by proxy given to another shareholder. If a particular shareholder intends to obtain proxy from another shareholder, a reference document specified by the Financial Supervisory Service must be sent to the shareholder giving proxy, with a copy furnished to the company’s executive office or the branch office, transfer agent and the Financial Services Commission. The proxy must present the power of attorney prior to the start of the general meeting of shareholders.
Rights of Dissenting Shareholders
Pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, in certain limited circumstances (including, without limitation, if we transfer all or any significant part of our business or if we merge or consolidate with another company), dissenting holders of shares have the right to require us to purchase their shares. Pursuant to the Financial Holding Companies Act, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the Korean Commercial Code, if a financial holding company acquires a new direct or indirect subsidiary through the exchange or transfer of shares except in limited circumstances, the dissenting holders of
such shares have the right to require us to purchase their shares. To exercise such a right, shareholders must submit to us a written notice of their intention to dissent prior to the general meeting of shareholders. Within 20 days (or 10 days under certain circumstances according to the Financial Holding Companies Act) after the date on which the relevant resolution is passed at such meeting, such dissenting shareholders must request in writing that we purchase their shares. We are obligated to purchase the shares of dissenting shareholders within one month after the end of such request period at a price to be determined by negotiation between the shareholder
and us. If we cannot agree on a price with the shareholder through such negotiations, the purchase price will be the arithmetic mean of (1) the weighted average of the daily closing share prices on the KRX KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange for two months prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution, (2) the weighted average of the daily closing share prices on the KRX KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange for one month prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution and (3) the weighted average of the daily closing share prices on the KRX KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange for one week prior to the date of the adoption of the relevant board of directors’ resolution. If we or the dissenting shareholder who requested purchase of their shares do not accept such purchase price, we or the shareholder may request to the court to adjust such purchase price.
Register of Shareholders and Record Dates
We maintain the register of our shareholders at our transfer agent’s office in Seoul, Korea. The Korea Securities Depository as our transfer agent, registers transfers of shares on the register of shareholders upon presentation of the share certificates.
The record date for annual dividends is December 31. For the purpose of determining the holders of shares entitled to annual dividends, the register of shareholders may be closed for the period from January 1 of each year up to January 15 of such year. Further, the Korean Commercial Code and the Articles of Incorporation permit us upon at least two weeks’ public notice to set a record date and/or close the register of shareholders for not more than three months for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to certain rights pertaining to the shares. The trading of shares and the delivery of certificates in respect thereof may continue while the register of shareholders is closed.
Other Shareholder Rights
Our articles of incorporation do not have sinking fund provisions or provisions creating liability to further capital calls. Other than to amend our articles of incorporation in accordance with the Korean Commercial Code, no particular action is necessary to change the rights of holders of our capital stock. In addition, our articles of incorporation do not have specific provisions for governing changes in capital or which would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us or any of our subsidiaries.
Directors
Under the Korean Commercial Code and our articles of incorporation, any director wishing to enter into a transaction with us or our subsidiaries in his or her personal capacity is required to obtain the prior approval of the Board of Directors, and any director having an interest in the transaction may not vote at the meeting of the Board of Directors to approve the transaction.
Neither our articles of incorporation nor applicable Korean laws have provisions relating to (i) the directors’ power, in the absence of an independent quorum, to vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body (ii) borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied; (iii) retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement; or (iv) the number of shares required for a director’s qualification.
Description of Preferred Stock
Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series 10)
On January 25, 2007, as part of funding our acquisition of LG Card, we issued 28,990,000 Series 10 non-voting redeemable preferred shares. These shares are currently entitled to dividends at the following rate: (i) for each year until and including 2011, 7.00% of the subscription price per share; (ii) for 2012, 7.00% of the subscription price per share multiplied by the number of days elapsed from January 1, 2012 to January 25, 2012 and divided by 365, plus ‘R’% of the subscription price, multiplied by the number of days from January 26, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and divided by 365, where R% means the sum of (A) the five-year treasury rate effective on January 25, 2011, (B) 100 basis points and (C) a spread equal to 7.00% less the five-year treasury
rate effective on January 25, 2007; and (iv) for 2013 and each year thereafter, R% of the subscription price. The dividend right held by holders of these shares rank senior to the dividend right held by holders of our common shares. If in any fiscal year we do not pay any dividend as provided above, the holders of these shares are entitled to receive such accumulated unpaid dividend prior to the holders of our common shares from the dividends payable in respect of the next fiscal year. If dividends are not paid to the holders of these shares, voting rights attach to such shares. See “— Voting Rights.” We may redeem these shares at any time during the period commencing on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date until the 20th anniversary of the issuance date to the extent that distributable profits are available for such redemption.

Annual Report
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, we must file with the Financial Services Commission and the Korea Exchange an annual business report (containing audit report and audited annual nonconsolidated and consolidated financial statements) within 90 days after the end of our fiscal year as well as a semiannual business report within 45 days after the end of the first six months of our fiscal year and quarterly business reports within 45 days after the end of the first three months and nine months of our fiscal year, respectively (in each case, containing review report and reviewed interim nonconsolidated and consolidated financial statements). Copies of such reports are available for public inspection at the websites of the Financial Services Commission and the Korea Exchange.
Transfer of Shares
Under the Korean Commercial Code, the transfer of shares is effected by the delivery of share certificates. In order to exercise shareholders’ rights, the transferee must have his name and address registered on the register of shareholders. For this purpose, shareholders are required to file with us their name, address and seal. Nonresident shareholders must notify us of the name of their proxy in Korea to which our notice can be sent. Under the Financial Services Commission regulations, nonresident shareholders may appoint a standing proxy and may not allow any person other than the standing proxy to exercise rights regarding the acquired share or perform any task related thereto on his behalf, subject to certain exceptions. Under current Korean regulations, the Korea Securities Depository, foreign exchange banks (including domestic branches of foreign banks), financial investment companies with a dealing, brokerage or collective investment license and internationally
recognized custodians are authorized to act as standing proxy and provide related services. Certain foreign exchange controls and securities regulations apply to the transfer of shares by nonresidents or non-Koreans. See “Item 10.D. Exchange Controls.” As to the ceiling on the aggregate shareholdings of a single shareholder and persons who have a special relationship with such shareholder, please see “Item 4.B. Business Overview — Supervision and Regulation — Principal Regulations Applicable to Financial Holding Companies — Restrictions on Financial Holding Company Ownership.”
Acquisition of Treasury Shares
Under the Korean Commercial Code, we may acquire our own shares upon a resolution of the general meeting of the shareholders by either (i) purchasing them on a stock exchange or (ii) purchasing a number of shares, other than the redeemable shares as set forth in Article 345, Paragraph (1) of the Korean Commercial Code, from each shareholder in proportion to its existing shareholding ratio through the methods set forth in the Presidential Decree, provided that the total purchase price does not exceed the amount of our profit that may be distributed as dividends in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year.
In addition, pursuant to the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and regulations under the Financial Holding Companies Act, we may purchase our own shares on the KRX KOSPI Market of the Korea Exchange, through a tender offer, or through a trust agreement with a trust company, or retrieve our own shares from a trust company upon termination of a trust agreement, subject to the restrictions that (1) the aggregate purchase price of such shares may not exceed the total amount available for distribution of dividends at the end of the preceding fiscal year less the amounts of dividends and reserves for such fiscal year, subtracted by the sum of (a) the purchase price of treasury stock acquired if any treasury stock has been purchased after the end of the preceding fiscal year pursuant to the Commercial Act or the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, (b) the amount subject to trust agreements, and (c) the amount of dividends approved at the ordinary general shareholders’ meeting after the end of the preceding fiscal year and the amount of retained earnings reserve required under the Commercial Act; plus if any treasury stock has been disposed of after the end of the preceding
fiscal year, the acquisition cost of such treasury stock and (2) the purchase of such shares shall meet the requisite capital ratio under the Financial Holding Companies Act and the guidelines issued by the Financial Services Commission. In general, under the Financial Holding Companies Act, our subsidiaries are not permitted to acquire our shares.
Liquidation Rights
In the event we are liquidated, the assets remaining after the payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes will be distributed to shareholders in proportion to the number of shares held by such shareholders. Holders of preferred shares may have preferences over holders of common shares in liquidation.

General
The Foreign Exchange Transaction Act of Korea the related Presidential Decree and the regulations under such Act and Decree (collectively the “Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws”) herein, regulate investment in Korean securities by nonresidents and issuance of securities by Korean companies outside Korea. Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, nonresidents may invest in Korean securities only to the extent specifically allowed by these laws or otherwise permitted by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of Korea. The Financial Services Commission has also adopted, pursuant to its authority under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, regulations that restrict investment by foreigners in Korean securities and regulate issuance of securities by Korean companies outside Korea.
Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, (1) if the Korean government determines that it is inevitable due to the outbreak of natural calamities, wars, conflict of arms or grave and sudden changes in domestic or foreign economic circumstances or other situations equivalent thereto, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance may temporarily suspend payment, receipt or the whole or part of transactions to which the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws apply, or impose an obligation to safe keep, deposit or sell means of payment in or to certain Korean governmental agencies or financial institutions; and (2) if the Korean government determines that international balance of payments and international finance face or are likely to face serious difficulty or the movement of capital between Korea and abroad will cause or is likely to cause serious obstacles in carrying out its currency policies, exchange rate policies and other macroeconomic policies, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance may take measures to require any person who intends to perform capital transactions to obtain permission or to require any person who performs capital transactions to deposit part of the payments received in such transactions at certain Korean governmental agencies or financial institutions, in each case subject to certain limitations.
Restrictions Applicable to Shares
Under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Laws, a foreign investor who intends to acquire shares must designate a foreign exchange bank at which he must open a foreign currency account and a Won account exclusively for stock investments. No approval is required for remittance into Korea and deposit of foreign currency funds in the foreign currency account. Foreign currency funds may be transferred from the foreign currency account at the time required to make a deposit for, or settle the purchase price of, a stock purchase transaction to a Won account opened at a financial investment company with a securities dealing or brokerage license. Funds in the foreign currency account may be remitted abroad without any Korean governmental approval.
Dividends on shares of Korean companies are paid in Won. No Korean governmental approval is required for foreign investors to receive dividends on, or the Won proceeds of the sale of, any shares to be paid, received and retained in Korea. Dividends paid on, and the Won proceeds of the sale of, any shares held by a nonresident
of Korea must be deposited either in a Won account with the investor’s financial investment company with a securities dealing or brokerage license or in his Won account. Funds in the investor’s Won account may be transferred to his foreign currency account or withdrawn for local living expenses, provided that any withdrawal of local living expenses by any one person exceeding US$10,000 per day needs to be reported to the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service by the foreign exchange bank at which the Won account is maintained. Funds in the Won account may also be used for future investment in shares or for payment of the subscription price of new shares obtained through the exercise of preemptive rights.
Financial investment companies with a securities dealing, brokerage or collective investment license are allowed to open foreign currency accounts with foreign exchange banks exclusively for accommodating foreign investors’ stock investments in Korea. Through these accounts, financial companies with a securities dealing, brokerage or collective investment license may enter into foreign exchange transactions on a limited basis, such as conversion of foreign currency funds and Won funds, either as a counterparty to or on behalf of foreign investors, without the investors having to open their own accounts with foreign exchange banks.
| ITEM 10.E. | Taxation |
The following summary is based upon tax laws, regulations, rulings, decrees, income tax conventions (treaties), administrative practice and judicial decisions of Korea and the United States as of the date of this annual report, and is subject to any change in Korean or United States law that may come into effect after such date. Investors in shares of common stock or American depositary shares are advised to consult their own tax advisers as to the Korean, United States or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of such securities, including the effect of any national, state or local tax laws.
Korean Taxation
The following summary of Korean tax considerations applies to you so long as you are not:
a resident of Korea;
a corporation having its head office, principal place of business, or place of effective management in Korea (a Korean corporation); or
engaged in a trade or business in Korea through a permanent establishment or a fixed base to which the relevant income is attributable or with which the relevant income is effectively connected.
Taxation of Dividends on Shares of Common Stock or American Depositary Shares
We will deduct Korean withholding tax from dividends (whether in cash or in shares) paid to you at a rate of 22% (including local income surtax). If you are a qualified resident and a beneficial owner of the dividends in a country that has entered into a tax treaty with Korea, you may qualify for a reduced rate of Korean withholding tax. See “— Tax Treaties” below for a discussion of treaty benefits. If we distribute to you free shares representing a transfer of certain capital reserves or asset revaluation reserves into paid-in capital, such distribution may be subject to a Korean withholding tax.
Taxation of Capital Gains from Transfer of Common Shares or American Depositary Shares
As a general rule, capital gains earned by non-residents upon transfer of our common shares or American depositary shares (“ADSs”) are subject to a Korean withholding tax at the lower of (1) 11% (including local income surtax) of the gross proceeds realized or (2) 22% (including local income surtax) of the net realized gain, subject to the production of satisfactory evidence of acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs associated with common shares or ADSs, unless exempt from Korean income taxation under an applicable tax treaty between Korea and the country of your tax residence. See “— Tax Treaties” below for a discussion on treaty benefits. Even if you do not qualify for the exemption under a tax treaty, you will not be subject to the foregoing withholding tax on capital gains if you meet certain requirements for the exemption under Korean domestic tax laws discussed in the following paragraphs.
You will not be subject to the Korean income taxation on capital gains realized upon a transfer of our common shares through the Korea Exchange if you (1) have no permanent establishment in Korea and (2) do not own and have never owned (together with any shares owned by any entity with which you have a special relationship and possibly including the shares represented by the ADSs) 25% or more of our total issued and outstanding shares at any time during the calendar year in which the sale occurs and during the five consecutive calendar years prior to the calendar year in which the sale occurs.
Under the tax law amendments effective for capital gains recognized or to be recognized from disposition of ADSs on or after January 1, 2008, ADSs are viewed as shares of stock for capital gains tax purposes. Accordingly, capital gains from sale or disposition of ADSs are taxed (if taxable) as if such gains are from sale or disposition of shares of our common stock. It should be noted that (i) capital gains earned by you (regardless of whether you have a permanent establishment in Korea) from a transfer of ADSs outside Korea will generally be exempt from Korean income taxation by virtue of the Special Tax Treatment Control Law of Korea, or the STTCL, provided that the issuance of ADSs is deemed to be an overseas issuance under the STTCL, but (ii) in the case where an owner of the underlying shares of stock transfers ADSs after conversion of the underlying shares into ADSs, the exemption under the STTCL described in (i) will not apply. In the case where an owner of the underlying shares of stock transfers the ADSs after conversion of the underlying shares of stock into ADSs, such person is obligated to file corporate income tax returns and pay tax unless a purchaser or a financial investment company with a brokerage license, as applicable, withholds and pays the tax on capital gains derived from transfer of ADSs, as discussed below.
If you are subject to tax on capital gains with respect to a sale of common shares or ADSs, the purchaser or, in the case of a sale of common shares on the Korea Exchange or through a financial investment company with a brokerage license in Korea, the financial investment company is required to withhold Korean tax from the sales proceeds in an amount equal to 11% (including local income surtax) of the gross realization proceeds and to remit the withheld tax to the Korean tax authority, unless you establish your entitlement to an exemption under an applicable tax treaty or domestic tax law or produce satisfactory evidence of your acquisition costs and certain direct transaction costs associated with common shares or ADSs. To obtain the benefit of a tax exemption pursuant to a tax treaty, you must submit to the purchaser, the financial investment company or the ADR depositary, as the case may be, prior to or at the time of payment, such evidence of your tax residence as the Korean tax authorities may require in support of your claim for treaty benefits. See the discussion under “— Tax Treaties” below for an additional explanation of claiming treaty benefits.
Tax Treaties
Korea has entered into a number of income tax treaties with other countries, including the United States, which reduce or exempt Korean withholding tax on the income derived by residents of such treaty countries. For example, under the Korea-U.S. income tax treaty, reduced rates of Korean withholding tax on dividends of 16.5% or 11.0%, respectively (including local income surtax), depending on your shareholding ratio, and an exemption from Korean withholding tax on capital gains are generally available to residents of the United States that are beneficial owners of the relevant dividend income or capital gains. However, under Article 17 (Investment or Holding Companies) of the Korea-U.S. income tax treaty, such reduced rates and exemption do not apply if (1) you are a United States corporation, (2) by reason of any special measures the tax imposed on you by the United States with respect to such dividends or capital gains is substantially less than the tax generally imposed by the United States on corporate profits, and (3) 25% or more of your capital is held of record or is otherwise determined, after consultation between competent authorities of the United States and Korea, to be owned directly or indirectly by one or more persons who are not individual residents of the United States. Also, under Article 16 (Capital Gains) of the Korea-U.S. income tax treaty, the exemption on capital gains does not apply if (a) you have a permanent establishment in Korea and any shares of common stock in which you hold an interest and which gives rise to capital gains are effectively connected with such permanent establishment, (b) you are an individual and you maintain a fixed base in Korea for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year and your common shares, or ADSs giving rise to capital gains are effectively connected with such fixed base or (c) you are an individual and you are present in Korea for a period or periods of 183 days or more during the taxable year.
You should inquire for yourself whether you are entitled to the benefit of an income tax treaty with Korea. It is the responsibility of the party claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty in respect of dividend payments or capital gains to submit to us, the purchaser, the financial investment company, or other withholding agent, as the case may be, a certificate as to his tax residence. In the absence of sufficient proof, we, the purchaser, the financial investment company, or other withholding agent, as the case may be, must withhold tax at the normal rates. Furthermore, in order for you to obtainclaim the benefit of a tax rate reduction or tax exemption on certain Korean source income (e.g., dividends or capital gains) under an applicable tax treaty as the beneficial owner of such Korean source income, Korean tax law requires you (or your agent) to submit an application (in the case for reduced withholding tax rate, an “application for entitlement to reduced tax rate”, and in the case for exemption from withholding tax, an “application for tax exemption alongexemption”) with a certificate of your tax residency issued by the competent authority of your country of tax residence, subject to certain exceptions.exceptions (together, the “BO application”). For example, a U.S. resident would be required to provide a Form 6166 as a certificate of tax residency with the application for entitlement to reduced tax exemption. Suchrate or the application should be submittedfor tax exemption, as the case may be. Subject to certain exceptions, where the relevant income is paid to an appropriateoverseas investment vehicle that is not the beneficial owner of such income (an “OIV”), a beneficial owner claiming the benefit of an applicable tax treaty with respect to such income must submit its BO application to such OIV, which in turn must submit an OIV report and a schedule of beneficial owners to the withholding agent prior to the payment date of such income. In the case of a tax exemption application, the withholding agent is required to submit such application (together with the applicable OIV report in the event the income will be paid to an OIV) to the relevant district tax office by the ninth day of the month following the date of the first payment of such income. Furthermore, in order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding tax on a dividend, you as a beneficial owner of the dividend must submit to the withholding agent of the dividend, prior to the payment date, the Application for Entitlement to Reduced Tax Rate. If a dividend is paid to an overseas investment vehicle, the overseas investment vehicle must submit a Report of Overseas Investment Vehicle and a Schedule of Beneficial Owners, with certain exceptions.
Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax
If you die while holding an ADS or donate an ADS, it is unclear whether, for Korean inheritance and gift tax purposes, you would be treated as the owner of the shares of common stock underlying the ADSs. If the tax authority interprets depositary receipts as the underlying share certificates, you may be treated as the owner of the shares of common stock and your heir or the donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance or gift tax, which ranges from 10% to 50% recently, assessable based on the value of the ADSs or shares of common stock and the identity of the individual against whom the tax is assessed.
If you die while holding a common share or donate a subscription right or a common share, your heir or donee (or in certain circumstances, you as the donor) will be subject to Korean inheritance or gift tax at the same rate as indicated above.
At present, Korea has not entered into any tax treaty relating to inheritance or gift taxes.
Securities Transaction Tax
If you transfer common shares through the Korea Exchange, you will be subject to a securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.15% and an agriculture and fishery special surtax at the rate of 0.15% of the sales price of common shares. If your transfer of common shares is not made through the Korea Exchange, subject to certain exceptions, you will be subject to a securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.5% but will not be subject to an agriculture and fishery special surtax.
Depositary receipts, which the ADSs constitute, are included in the scope of securities transfer subject to securities transaction tax effective starting with transfers occurring on or after January 1, 2011. Nonetheless, transfer of depositary receipts listed on a foreign securities exchange similar to the Korea (e.g. the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market) will not be subject to the securities transaction tax.
In principle, the securities transaction tax, if applicable, must be paid by a transferor of common shares. When a transfer is affected through a securities settlement company, such settlement company is generally required to withhold and remit the tax to the tax authorities. When such transfer is made through a financial investment company only, such financial investment company is required to withhold and remit the tax. Where a transfer is affected by a non-resident who has no permanent establishment in Korea by a method other than through a securities settlement company or a financial investment company, the transferee is required to withhold the securities transaction tax.
Non-reporting or underreporting of securities transaction tax will generally result in the imposition of penalties equal to 20% to 40%60% of the non-reported or 10% to 40%60% of underreported tax amount and a failure to
timely pay securities transaction tax due will result in penalties of 10.95% per annum of the due but unpaid tax. The penalty is imposed on the party responsible for paying the securities transaction tax or, if the securities transaction tax is to be withheld, on the party that has the withholding obligation.
Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summary describes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations for beneficial owners of our common shares or ADSs that hold the common shares or ADSs as capital assets and are “U.S. holders.” You are a “U.S. holder” if you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
(i)
| (i) | an individual citizen or resident of the United States; |
| (ii) | a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or District of Columbia; |
| (iii) | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; |
(ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or District of Columbia;
| (iv) | a trust that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and has one or more U.S. persons with authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or |
(iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
(iv) a trust that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and has one or more U.S. persons with authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or
(v) a trust that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
| (v) | a trust that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
In addition, this summary only applies to you if you are a U.S. holder that is a resident of the United States for purposes of the current income tax treaty between the United States and Korea (the “Treaty”), your common shares or ADSs are not, for purposes of the Treaty, effectively connected with a permanent establishment in Korea and you otherwise qualify for the full benefits of the Treaty.
This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and regulations (including proposed regulations), rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, as well as the Treaty, all of which are subject to change, perhaps retroactively. It is for general purposes only and you should not consider it to be tax advice. In addition, it is based in part on representations by the ADS depositary and assumes that each obligation under the deposit agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms. This summary does not represent a detailed description of all the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances, and does not address the effects of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including if you are:
a bank;
a dealer in securities or currencies;
an insurance company or one of certain financial institutions;
a regulated investment company;
a real estate investment trust;
a tax-exempt entity;
a trader in securities that has elected to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;
a person holding common shares or ADSs as part of a hedging, conversion, constructive sale or integrated transaction or a straddle;
a person liable for the alternative minimum tax;
a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of our voting stock; or
a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
If a partnership holds our common shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common shares or ADSs, you are urged to consult your tax advisor.
You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the particular U.S. federal tax consequences to you of the ownership and disposition of common shares or ADSs as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
American Depositary Shares
If you hold ADSs, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you generally will be treated as the owner of the underlying common shares that are represented by such ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of common shares for ADSs will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
Distributions on Common Shares or American Depositary Shares
Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” the gross amount of distributions on our common shares or ADSs (including amounts withheld to reflect Korean withholding tax) will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Such income (including withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day you actually or constructively receive it, in the case of our common shares, or the day actually or constructively received by the ADS depositary, in the case of ADSs. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.
With respect to non-corporate U.S. holders, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A qualified foreign corporation includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States which the U.S. Treasury Department determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and which includes an exchange of information provision. The U.S. Treasury Department has determined that the Treaty meets these requirements, and we believe we are eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. A foreign corporation is also treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on shares (or ADSs backed by such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Our common shares will generally not be considered readily tradable for these purposes. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that securities such as our ADSs, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, are treated as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States for these purposes. There can be no assurance that our ADSs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from a risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Furthermore, non-corporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for the rate reduction if we are a passive foreign investment company (as discussed below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”) in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or were a passive foreign investment company in the preceding taxable year. If you are a non-corporate U.S. holder, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the application of these rules given your particular circumstances.
The amount of any dividend paid in Korean Won will equal the U.S. dollarDollar value of the Korean Won received calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date you receive the dividend, in the case of our common shares, or the date received by the ADS depositary, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the Korean Won are converted into U.S. dollars.Dollars. If the Korean Won received as a dividend are converted into U.S. dollarsDollars on the date they are received, you generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. If the Korean Won received are not converted into U.S. dollarsDollars on the day of receipt, you will have a basis in the Korean Won equal to their U.S. dollarDollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Korean Won will be treated as United States source ordinary income or loss.
Subject to certain significant conditions and limitations, Korean taxes withheld from dividends (at a rate not exceeding the rate provided in the Treaty) will be treated as foreign income taxes eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability. See “— Korean Taxation — Taxation of Dividends on Shares of Common Stock or American Depositary Shares” for a discussion of the Treaty rate. Korean taxes withheld in excess of the rate provided in the Treaty will not be eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax until you exhaust all effective and practical remedies to recover such excess withholding, including the seeking of competent authority assistance from the Internal Revenue Service. For purposes of the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our common shares or ADSs will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. If you do not elect to claim a credit for any foreign taxes paid during a taxable year, you may instead elect, subject to certain limitations, to claim a deduction in respect of such foreign taxes, provided that you apply this election to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year.
Further, in certain circumstances, if you have held our common shares or ADSs for less than a specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss, or are obligated to make payments related to the dividends, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on our common shares or ADSs. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.
To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction of your adjusted basis in our common shares or ADSs (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized by you on a subsequent disposition of our common shares or ADSs), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. However, we do not expect to determine earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will be reported and generally be treated as a dividend (as discussed above).
Distributions of our common shares (including ADSs) or rights to subscribe for our common shares that are received as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our shareholders (including holders of ADSs) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to recipient common shareholders (including holders of ADSs). Consequently, such distributions will not give rise to foreign source income and you will not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Korean withholding tax unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against U.S. tax due on other income derived from foreign sources.
Disposition of Common Shares or American Depositary Shares
Subject to the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares or ADSs, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition and your adjusted tax basis in our common shares or ADSs, as the case may be. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or other disposition, our common shares or ADSs have been held for more than one year. Capital gains of individuals derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss you recognize on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares or ADSs will generally be treated as United States source gain or loss. Consequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Korean tax imposed on the disposition of our common shares or ADSs unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources.
You should note that any Korean securities transaction tax generally will not be treated as a creditable foreign tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although you may be entitled to deduct such taxes, subject to applicable limitations under the Code.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
Based upon the past and projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, we do not believe that we were a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”)PFIC for 2012,2014, and we do not expect to be a PFIC in
2013 2015 or to become one in the foreseeable future, although there can be no assurance in this regard. However, PFIC status is a factual determination that is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may become a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in valuation or composition of our income or assets.
In general, we will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either:
at least 75% of our gross income is passive income; or
at least 50% of the value of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.
The 50% of value test is based on the average of the value of our assets for each quarter during the taxable year. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person). Certain proposed U.S. Treasury regulations and other administrative pronouncements from the Internal Revenue Service provide special rules for determining the character of income and assets derived in the active conduct of a banking business for purposes of the PFIC rules. Specifically, these rules treat certain income earned by a non-U.S. corporation engaged in the active conduct of a banking business as non-passive income. Although we believe we have adopted a reasonable interpretation of the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative pronouncements, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will follow the same interpretation. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the application of these rules.
If we own at least 25% by value of another company’s stock, we will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC rules, as owning our proportionate share of the assets and receiving our proportionate share of the income of that company.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or ADSs, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” that you receive and any gain you realize from the sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of our common shares or ADSs. These special tax rules generally will apply even if we cease to be a PFIC in future years. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for our common shares or ADSs will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:
the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for our common shares or ADSs;
the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and
the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year, and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.
In certain circumstances, you could make a mark-to-market election, under which in lieu of being subject to the special rules discussed above, you will include gain on our common shares or ADSs on a mark-to-market basis as ordinary income, provided that our common shares or ADSs are regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market. Our common shares are listed on the Korea Exchange, which must meet certain trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements to be treated as a qualified exchange under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations for purposes of the mark-to-market election, and no assurance can be given that the common shares are or will continue to be “regularly traded” for purposes of the mark-to-market election. Our ADSs are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which constitutes a qualified exchange, although there can be no assurance that the ADSs are or will be “regularly traded.” If you make a valid mark-to-market election, you will include in each year as ordinary income the excess of the fair market value of your common shares or ADSs at the end of the year over your adjusted tax basis in the common shares or ADSs. You will be entitled to deduct as an ordinary loss each year the excess of your adjusted tax basis in the common shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. If you make an effective mark-to-market election, in each year that we are
a PFIC any gain you recognize upon the sale or other disposition of your common shares or ADSs will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.
A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in common shares or ADSs will be increased by the amount of any income inclusion and decreased by the amount of any deductions under the mark-to-market rules. If a U.S. holder makes a mark-to-market election, it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all
subsequent taxable years unless the common shares or ADSs are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the Internal Revenue Service consents to the revocation of the election. You should consult your tax advisor about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election would be advisable with respect to your particular circumstances.
In addition, a holder of common shares or ADSs in a PFIC can sometimes avoid the rules described above by electing to treat the company as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code. This option is not available to you because we do not intend to comply with the requirements necessary to permit holders to make this election.
If you hold our common shares or ADSs in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC, you would be required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621.
Non-corporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or were a PFIC in the preceding taxable year. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the determination of our PFIC status and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding our common shares or ADSs if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of our common shares or ADSs and the proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our common shares or ADSs that are paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless you are an exempt recipient. A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of other exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

| 7 | Distribution of ADSs pursuant to exercise of rights to purchase additional ADSs | Up to US$2.00 per 100 ADSs (or fraction thereof) held | Person who exercises such rights | |||
Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs, persons depositing common shares for deposit and persons surrendering ADSs for cancellation and for the purpose of withdrawing deposited securities shall be responsible for the following charges:
(i) taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) and other governmental charges;
| (i) | taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) and other governmental charges; |
(ii) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of common shares or other deposited securities on the share register and applicable to transfers of common shares or other deposited securities to or from the name of the custodian, the depositary or any nominees upon the making of deposits and withdrawals, respectively;
| (ii) | such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of common shares or other deposited securities on the share register and applicable to transfers of common shares or other deposited securities to or from the name of the custodian, the depositary or any nominees upon the making of deposits and withdrawals, respectively; |
(iii) such cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement to be at the expense of the person depositing or withdrawing common shares or holders and beneficial owners of ADSs;
| (iii) | such cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement to be at the expense of the person depositing or withdrawing common shares or holders and beneficial owners of ADSs; |
(iv) the expenses and charges incurred by the depositary in the conversion of foreign currency;

| (vi) | the fees and expenses incurred by the depositary, the custodian or any nominee in connection with the servicing or delivery of deposited securities. |
Depositary fees payable upon the issuance and cancellation of ADSs are typically paid to the depositary by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) receiving the newly-issued ADSs from the depositary and by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) delivering the ADSs to the depositary for cancellation. The brokers in turn charge these transaction fees to their clients.
Depositary fees payable in connection with distributions of cash or securities to ADS holders and the depositary services fee are charged by the depositary to the holders of record of ADSs as of the applicable ADS record date. The depositary fees payable for cash distributions are generally deducted from the cash being distributed. In the case of distributions other than cash (i.e., stock dividends, rights offerings), the depositary charges the applicable fee to the ADS record date holders concurrent with the distribution. In the case of ADSs registered in the name of the investor (whether certificated or un-certificated in direct registration), the depositary sends invoices to the applicable record date ADS holders. In the case of ADSs held in brokerage and custodian accounts via the central clearing and settlement system, The Depository Trust Company (DTC), the depositary generally collects its fees through the systems provided by DTC (whose nominee is the registered holder of the ADSs held in DTC) from the brokers and custodians holding ADSs in their DTC accounts. The brokers and custodians who hold their clients’ ADSs in DTC accounts in turn charge their clients’ accounts the amount of the fees paid to the depositary banks.
In the event of refusal to pay the depositary fees, the depositary may, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, refuse the requested service until payment is received or may set- off the amount of the depositary fees from any distribution to be made to the ADS holder.
The fees and charges the ADS holders may be required to pay may vary over time and may be changed by us and by the depositary. The ADS holders will receive prior notice of such changes.

Disclosure Control
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2012.2014. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 20122014 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for our company. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20122014 based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.Commission (“COSO”). Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) suspended the original framework issued by COSO in 1992 on December 15, 2014. We adopted the 2013 Framework on December 15, 2014. Further details of the changes made are set out below. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of a company’s assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of a company’s management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to consolidated financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.2014. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by KPMG Samjong, an independent registered public accounting firm, who has also audited our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.2014. KPMG Samjong has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Auditing Standard No. 5 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which is included herein.

Our audit committee generally pre-approves all engagements of our principal accountants pursuant to policies and procedures adopted by it. Our audit committee has adopted the following policies and procedures for consideration and approval of requests to engage our principal accountants to perform audit and non-audit services. Engagement requests must in the first instance be submitted as follows: (i) in the case of audit and non-audit services for our holding company, to our Planning & Financial Management subject to reporting to our Chief Financial Officer; and (ii) in the case of audit and non-audit services for our subsidiaries, to our Audit and Compliance Team subject to reporting to the Senior Executive Vice President of Audit & Compliance Team. If
the request relates to services that would impair the independence of our principal accountants, the request must be rejected. If the engagement request relates to audit and permitted non-audit services, it must be forwarded to the Audit Committee for consideration. To facilitate the consideration of engagement requests between its meetings, the Audit Committee has delegated approval authority of the following: (i) permitted non-audit services to our holding company, (ii) audit services to our subsidiaries and (iii) permitted non-audit services to our subsidiaries, to one of its members who is “independent” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Such member in our case is Mr. Ke Sop Yun,Kwon Taeeun, the chairman of our Audit Committee, and he is required to report any approvals made by them to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. Our Audit Committee meets regularly once every quarter.
Any other audit or permitted non-audit service must be pre-approved by the audit committee on a case-by-case basis. Our audit committee did not pre-approve any non-audit services under the de minimis exception of Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

| ITEM 16.E. | PURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS |
Neither we nor any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) of the Exchange Act, purchased any of our equity securities during the period covered by this annual report.
| ITEM 16.F. | CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT |
Not applicable.
| ITEM 16.G. | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
We are committed to high standards of corporate governance. We are in compliance with the corporate governance provisions of the Korean Commercial Code, the Financial Holding Companies Act of Korea, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the Listing Rules of the Korea Exchange. We, like all other companies in Korea, must comply with the corporate governance provisions of the Korean Commercial Code. In addition, as a financial holding company, we are also subject to the Financial Holding Companies Act. Also, our subsidiaries that are financial institutions must comply with the respective corporate governance provisions under the relevant laws under which they were established.
We are a “foreign private issuer” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act), and our ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. Under Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, NYSE-listed companies that are foreign private issuers are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the corporate governance provisions specified by the NYSE with limited exceptions. Under the NYSE Listed Company Manual, we as foreign private issuers are required to disclose significant differences between NYSE’s corporate governance standards and those we follow under Korean law. The following summarizes some significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. companies listed on the NYSE under the listing rules of the NYSE:
Majority of Independent Directors on the Board
Under the NYSE listing rules, U.S. companies listed on the NYSE must have a board the majority of which is comprised of independent director satisfying the requirements of “independence” as set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. While as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from this requirement, but our board of directors is in compliance with this requirement as it currently consists of 12 directors, of which ten directors satisfy the requirements of “independence” as set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Ten of our directors are also “outside directors” as defined in the Financial Holding Companies Act of Korea. Korea.An “outside director” for purposes of the Financial Holding Companies Act and the Korean Commercial Code means a director who does not engage in the regular affairs of the financial holding company, and who is elected at a
shareholders meeting, after having been nominated by the outside director nominating committee, and none of the largest shareholder, those persons “specially related” to the largest shareholder of such company, persons who during the past two years have served as an officer or employee of such company, the spouses and immediate family members of an officer of such company, and certain other persons specified by law may qualify as an outside director of such company. Under the Korea Exchange listing rules and the Korean Commercial Code, at least one-fourth of a listed company’s directors must be outside directors provided that there must be at least three outside directors. In the case of “large listed companies” as defined under the Korean Commercial Code, like us, a majority of the directors must be outside directors.
Executive Session
Under the NYSE listing rules, non-management directors of U.S. companies listed on the NYSE are required to meet on a regular basis without management present and independent directors must meet separately at least once per year. There is no such requirement under Korean law or listing standards or our internal regulations.
Audit Committee
Under the NYSE listing rules, listed companies must have an audit committee that has a minimum of three members, and all audit committee members must satisfy the requirements of independence set forth in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We are in compliance with this requirement as our audit committee comprises of four outside directors meeting the requirements of independence set forth in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under the Korea Exchange listing rules and the Korean Commercial Code, a large
listed company must also establish an audit committee of which at least two-thirds of its members must be outside directors and whose chairman must be an outside director. In addition, at least one member of the audit committee who is an outside director must also be an accounting or financial expert. We are also in compliance with the foregoing requirements.
Nomination/Corporate Governance Committee
Under the NYSE listing rules, U.S. companies listed on the NYSE must have a nomination/corporate governance committee composed entirely independent directors. In addition to identifying individuals qualified to become board members, this committee must develop and recommend to the board a set of corporate governance principles. Under the Korean Commercial Code and other applicable laws, large listed companies, financial holding companies, commercial banks, and certain other financial institutions are required to have an outside director nominating committee of which at least one-half of its members are required to be outside directors. However, there is no requirement to establish a corporate governance committee under applicable Korean law. We currently have a board steering committee which manages corporate governance practices applicable to us. Our outside director nominating committee is formed on an ad hoc basis prior to a general shareholders meeting if the agenda for such meeting includes appointment of an outside director. The composition of the committee is in compliance with the relevant provisions under the Korean Commercial Code and the chairman of the committee must be an outside director pursuant to our outside director recommendation committee regulations. The board steering committee consists of five directors, including four outside directors.
A nomination/corporate governance committee is not required under Korean law. However, in March 2012, we established the Corporate Governance and Chief Executive Officer Recommendation Committee, which is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations in relation to the overall corporate governance of our group (including any aspects of corporate governance relating to code of ethics and other code of behavior, size of the board of directors and other matters necessary for improving our overall corporate governance structure), as well as recommendation of the nominees for the president and/or chief executive officer of our group and development, operation and review of our management succession plan, including setting the qualifications for the CEO, evaluating CEO candidate pool and recommending CEO candidates. The chairperson of the committee must be an outside director, and the incumbent CEO may be restricted from participating and voting on matters related to the CEO selection.
Compensation Committee
Under the NYSE listing rules, U.S. companies listed on the NYSE are required to have a compensation committee which is composed entirely of independent directors. In January 2013, the SEC approved amendments to the listing rules of NYSE and NASDAQ regarding the independence of compensation committee members and the appointment, payment and oversight of compensation consultants. The listing rules were adopted as required by Section 952 of the Dodd-Frank Act and rule 10C-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which direct the national securities exchanges to prohibit the listing of any equity security of a company that is not in compliance with the rule’s compensation committee director and advisor independence requirements. Certain elements of the listing rules will becomebecame effective on July 1, 2013.2013 and companies listed on the NYSE must comply with such listing rules by the earlier of the company’s first annual meeting after January 15, 2014, or October 31, 2014.
While no such requirement currently exists under applicable Korean law or listing standards, such committee is recommended to be established under the model guidelines set by the Financial Supervisory Service in relation to executives’ performance pay.
We currently have a compensation committee, which is responsible for reviewing and approving the management’s evaluation and compensation programs. The committee consists of composed of four members, all of whom are outside directors and satisfy the independent director requirements as set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Under the NYSE listing rules, U.S. companies listed on the NYSE are required to establish corporate governance guidelines and to adopt a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from this requirement. WhileIn Korea, the Financial Services Commission implemented the Standard Corporate Governance Guidelines for Financial Service Companies in December 2014, and accordingly, we have not adopted officialin February 2015 and are currently complying with international regulators on corporate governance modeled after the standard guidelines our board of directors, outside director recommendation committee andimplemented by the board steering committee review and determine corporate policies as needed to ensure efficient and transparent corporate governance practices. Financial Services Commission,
Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we have adopted a code of ethics applicable to all the officers and employees of our Chairman & Chief Executive Officerholding company and all other directors and executive officersour subsidiaries, including the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer, as well as all financial, accounting and other officers of Shinhan Financial Group and its subsidiariesemployees that are involved in the preparation and disclosure of Shinhan Financial Group’s consolidated financial statements and internal control of financial reporting pursuantreporting. As a further detailed guideline to Section 404the code of ethics, we have also established a supplemental code of behavior for all officers and employees of our holding company and our subsidiaries in order to provide additional guideline for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.performance of their work-related duties as well as their daily behavior. We have also adopted an insider reporting system in compliance with Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The above-mentioned code of ethics applicable to our executive officers as well asand the financial officerscode of the holding company and its subsidiariesbehavior are available on our websitewww.shinhangroup.comwww.shinhangroup.com.. Several of our subsidiaries, including Shinhan Bank, Shinhan Investment and Shinhan Life Insurance, currently also have their own codes of business conduct and ethics.
On May 25, 2011, the SEC adopted final rules to implement whistleblower provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, which are applicable to foreign private issuers with securities registered under the U.S. securities laws. The final rules provide that any eligible whistleblower who voluntarily provides the SEC with original information that leads to the successful enforcement of an action brought by the SEC under U.S. securities laws must receive an award of between 10 and 30 percent of the total monetary sanctions collected if the sanctions exceed $1,000,000. An eligible whistleblower is defined as someone who provides information about a possible violation of the securities laws that he or she reasonably believes has occurred, is ongoing, or is about to occur. The possible violation does not need to be material, probably or even likely, but the information must have a “facially plausible relationship to some securities law violation”; frivolous submissions would not qualify. The final rules also prohibit retaliation against the whistleblower. While the final rules do not require employees to first report allegations of wrongdoing through a company’s corporate compliance system, they do seek to incentivize whistleblowers to utilize internal corporate compliance first by, among other things, (i) giving employees who first report information internally the benefit of the internal reporting date for purposes of the SEC program so long as the whistleblower submits the same information to the SEC within 120 days of the initial disclosure; (ii) clarifying that the SEC will consider, as part of the criteria for determining the amount of a whistleblower’s award, whether the whistleblower effectively utilized the company’s corporate compliance
program or hindered the function of the program; and (iii) crediting a whistleblower who reports internally first and whose company passes the information along to the SEC, which would mean the whistleblower could receive a potentially higher award for information gathered in an internal investigation initiated as a result of the whistleblower’s internal report.
In addition, the final rules address concerns that the whistleblower rules incentivize officers, directors and those with legal, audit, compliance or similar responsibilities to abuse these positions by making whistleblower complaints to the SEC with respect to information they obtained in these roles by generally providing that information obtained through a communication subject to attorney-client privilege or as a result of legal representation would not be eligible for a whistleblower award unless disclosure would be permitted by attorney conduct rules. Accordingly, officers and directors, auditors and compliance personnel and other persons in similar roles would not be eligible to receive awards for information received in these positions unless (x) they have a reasonable basis to believe that (1) disclosure of the information is necessary to prevent the entity from engaging in conduct that is likely to cause substantial injury to the financial interests of the entity or investors; or (2) the entity is engaging in conduct that will impede an investigation of the misconduct, for example, destroying documents or improperly influencing witnesses; or (y) 120 days has passed since the whistleblower provided the information to senior responsible persons at the entity or 120 days has passed since the whistleblower received the information at a time when these people were already aware of the information.
There is no corresponding law or regulation in Korea. However, we have established corporate governance guidelines and code of business conduct and ethics through our Corporate Governance and Chief Executive Officer Recommendation Committee.
Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans
Under the NYSE listing rules, shareholders of U.S. companies listed on the NYSE are required to approve all equity compensation plans.
Under Korean law, if a company issues stock options amounting to 10% or more of its issued and outstanding shares, only a board of director resolution is required for such issuance if permitted by such company’s articles of incorporation. Under our articles of incorporation, we may also grant stock options, but since April 1, 2010, we have not granted any stock options.
We currently have two equity compensation plans, consisting of a performance share plan for directors and key employees and an employee stock ownership plan for all employees under the Framework Act on Workers’Labor Welfare. Performance
In accordance with our internal regulations, performance shares granted to directors are granted pursuant to a resolution by the board of director, resolution, subject to the limit amount set by a resolution at the shareholders’ meeting while performance shares granted to key employees are granted pursuant to a resolution by the board of director, without any requirement that the limit amount be approved at the shareholders’ meeting. There are no requirements relating to the granting of performance shares under applicable Korean laws and our articles of incorporation.
Under the Framework Act on Workers’Labor Welfare, and the Enforcement Decree thereunder, a Korean company may issue stock options up to 20% of its issued and outstanding shares by a resolution at the shareholders’ meeting, with an individual limit of ￦6 million for any given year per each member of the employee stock ownership association, if permitted by the articles of incorporation. In addition, if a company is issuing stock options by a 10% of its issued and outstanding shares, only a board of director resolution is required for such issuance if permitted by the Articles of Incorporation. However, we have not adopted such provision in ourOur articles of incorporation and currently dodoes not offer any performance shares to our employees.contain such provision. The equity compensation scheme for the employee stock ownership association is governed by its internal regulations, over which we have no control under Korean law.
On April 1, 2010, our performance share plan replaced our stock option plan for directors. Accordingly, no stock options have been granted since April 1, 2010, and our outstanding stock option balance is wholly in connection with stock options granted prior to such date.
Annual Certification of Compliance
Under the NYSE listing rules, a chief executive officer of a U.S. company listed on the NYSE must annually certify that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance standards. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to this requirement. However, in accordance with rules applicable to both U.S. companies and foreign private issuers, we are required to promptly notify the NYSE in writing if any executive officer becomes aware of any material noncompliance with the NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to us. In addition, foreign private issuers, including us, are required to submit to the NYSE an annual written affirmation relating to compliance with Sections 303A.06 and 303A.11 of the NYSE listed company manual, which are the NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to foreign private issuers. All written affirmations must be executed in the form provided by the NYSE, without modification. An
annual written affirmation is required to be submitted to the NYSE within 30 days of filing with the SEC our annual report on Form 20-F. We have been in compliance with this requirement in all material respects and plan to submit such affirmation within the prescribed time line.line

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 20112013 and 2012,2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012.2014. We also have audited the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control —– Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Group’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Group’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 20112013 and 20122014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012,2014, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control —– Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Prior to 2012,hybrid financial instruments can be classified as either equity or debt instruments based on the interpretation letter issued by Korea Accounting Institute. The Group recorded certain synthetic options on a gross basis that should have recorded on a net basis. Asreclassified hybrid bonds, of December 31, 2012, the respective synthetic options have been recorded on a net basis and all corresponding information in the prior periods has been retrospectively adjusted.

(b) Basis of consolidation
| (b) | Basis of consolidation |
i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control existsThe Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the Groupentity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to governover the financial and operating policies of the other entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date thaton which control commences until the date thaton which control ceases.
If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for likethe same transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
ii) Special purpose entitiesStructured entity
The Group has establishedestablishes or invests in various structured entities. A structured entity is an entity designed so that its activities are not governed by way of voting rights. When assessing control of a number of specialstructured entity, the Group considers factors such as the purpose entities (SPEs) for trading and investment purposes. The Group does not have any direct or indirect shareholdings in these entities. An SPE is consolidated if, based on an evaluationthe design of the substanceinvestee; its practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee; the nature of its relationship with the Groupinvestee; and the SPE’s risks and rewards,size of its exposure to the variability of returns of the investee. The Group does not recognize any non-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of financial position since the Group’s interests in these entities are recognized as liabilities of the Group.
An entity for asset backed securitization is consolidated when the Group concludes that it controlshas the SPE.ability to dispose assets or change the conditions of the assets, is exposed to variable returns and has the ability to affect the variable returns providing credit enhancement and purchases of subordinated securities.
An entity established for structured financing relating to real estate, shipping, or mergers and acquisitions is consolidated, when the Group has granted credit to the entity, has sole decision-making authority of these entities due to the entities’ default, and is exposed to, or has rights to related variable returns.
An investment fund is consolidated, when the Group manages or invests assets of the investment funds on behalf of other investors, or has the ability to dismiss the manager of the investment funds, and is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns.
A trust is consolidated when the Group as a trustee is exposed to variable returns, for example, if principle or interest amounts of the entrusted properties falls below guaranteed amount, the Group should compensate it; and the Group has the ability to affect those returns.
iii) Intra-group transactions
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Intra-group losses are recognized as expense if intra-group losses indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are accounted for separately from the parent’s ownership interests in a subsidiary. Each component of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and non-controlling interest holders, even when the allocation reduces the non-controlling interest balance below zero.
(c) Business combination
| (c) | Business combinations |
i) Business combinationcombinations
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control.
Each identifiable asset and liability is measured at its acquisition-date fair value except for below:
Leases and insurance contracts are required to be classified on the basis of the contractual terms and other factors
Only those contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are a present obligation and can be measured reliably are recognized
| • | Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized and measured in accordance with |

| • | Employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with |
Indemnification assets are recognized and measured on the same basis as the indemnified liability or asset
Reacquired rights are measured on the basis of the remaining contractual terms of the related contract
| • | Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment transactions are measured in accordance with the method in |
| • | Assets held for sale are measured at fair value less costs to sell in accordance with |
As of the acquisition date, non-controlling interests in the acquiree are measured as the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
The consideration transferred in a business combination shall beis measured at fair value, which shall beis calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer. However, any portion of the acquirer’s share-based payment awards exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s employees that are included in consideration transferred in the business combination shall be measured in accordance with the method described above rather than at fair value.
Acquisition-related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include finder’s fees; advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative costs, including the costs of maintaining an internal acquisitions department; and costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. Acquisition-related costs, other than those associated with

the issue of debt or equity securities, are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. The costs to issue debt or equity securities are recognized in accordance with IASK-IFRS No.103232 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 39K-IFRS No.1039Financial Instruments: Recognition and MeasurementMeasurement..
ii) Goodwill
The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
the recognized amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree; less
the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the excess is negative, bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(d) Associates and jointly controlled entitiesWhen the Group additionally acquires non-controlling interest, the Group does not recognize goodwill since the transaction is regarded as equity transaction.
| (d) | Investments in associates and joint ventures |
An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the entity’s financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity or excess 15% ifwhen another entity wasis classified as a subsidiary by the Banking act.
Joint ventures are those entities over whose activitiesAct since the Group hasholds more than 15% of the voting power of another entity.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control established by contractual agreement, andof the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions.

parties sharing control.
The investment in an associate and a joint venture is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and changes in equity of the associate and the joint venture after the date of acquisition. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Intra-group losses are recognized as expense if intra-group losses indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.
If an associate or a joint venture uses accounting policies different from those of the CompanyGroup for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements in applying the equity method.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has to make payments on behalf of the investee for further losses.

| (e) | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and calldemand deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments.
(f) Non-derivative financial assets
| (f) | Non-derivative financial assets |
The Group recognizes and measures non-derivative financial assets by the following four categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The Group recognizes financial assets in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Upon initial recognition, non-derivative financial assets are measured at their fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset’s acquisition or issuance.
i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated at fair value through profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a recognition or measurement inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives that would be required to be separated from the host contract.

ii) Held-to-maturity financial assets
A non-derivative financial asset with a fixed or determinable payment and fixed maturity, for which the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
iii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments or loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, which changes in fair value, net of any tax effect, recorded in other comprehensive income in equity. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are measured at cost.
v) DerecognitionDe-recognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognized as a separate asset or liability.
If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred financial assets, the Group continues to recognize the transferred financial assets and recognizes financial liabilities for the consideration received.
vi) Offsetting between financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position only when the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is the intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(g) Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting
| (g) | Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting |
Derivative financial instruments are classified as either trading or hedging if they qualify for hedge accounting. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair valuevalue. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value, at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effectivechanges therein are accounted for as a hedging instrument.described below.
i) Hedge accounting
The Group holds forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps and other derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. The Group designated derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments (a fair value hedge) and foreign currency risk of highly probable forecasted transactions or firm commitments (a cash flow hedge).
SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss in the periods during which the forecasted transaction occurs.

To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in profit or loss. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount in the accumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal in accordance with K-IFRS No.1021, ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’. |
ii) Separable embedded derivatives
Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately only if the following criteria has been met: (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract; (b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and (c) the hybrid instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of separable embedded derivatives are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
iii) Other derivative financial instruments
Changes in the fair value of other derivative financial instrument not designated as a hedging instrument are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
iv) Unobservable valuation differences at initial recognition

(h) Impairment of financial assets
| (h) | Impairment of financial assets |
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. However, losses expected as a result of future events, regardless of likelihood, are not recognized.
In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.
If financial assets have objective evidence that they are impaired, impairment losses should be measured and recognized.
Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the holder of the asset about the following loss events:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor
a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
the lender, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties
observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group.
i) Loans and receivables
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for loans and receivables that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).
If the interest rate of a loan or receivable is a floating rate, the discount rate used to evaluate impairment loss is the current effective interest rate defined in the loan agreement. The present value of estimated future cash flows of secured financial assets is calculated by including cash flows from collateral after deducting costs to acquire and sell the collateral, regardlesscollateral.

In assessing collective impairment, the Group rates and classifies financial assets, based on credit risk assessment or credit rating assessment process that takes into account asset type, industry, regional location, collateral type, delinquency and other relative factors.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012
Future cash flow of financial assets applicable to collective impairment assessment is estimated by using statistical modeling of historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the impairment losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical modeling. In adjusting the future cash flow by historical modeling, the result has to be in line with changes and trends of observable data. Methodologies and assumptions used to estimate future cash flow are evaluated on a regular basis in order to reduce any discrepancy between impairment loss estimation and actual loss.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss of the year.
ii) Available-for-sale financial assets
When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized in other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment even though the financial asset has not been derecognized. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss wasis recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.
iii) Held-to-maturity financial assets
An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity financial assets measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate and is recognized in profit or loss. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognized through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(i) Property and equipment
| (i) | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment are initially measured at cost and after initial recognition, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of property and equipment includes expenditures arising directly from the construction or acquisition of the asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Items of property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property or equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced cost is derecognized. The cost of the day to day servicing of property and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, which most closely reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Leased assets under finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Other intangible assets | 5 years or contract periods |
Amortization periods and the amortization methods for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The useful lives of intangible assets that are not being amortized are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support indefinite useful life assessments for those assets. Changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
i) Research and development
Expenditures on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditures are capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Other development expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(k) Investment property
| (k) | Investment property |
Property held for the purpose of earning rentals or benefiting from capital appreciation is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. Subsequently, investment property is carried at depreciated cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

(l) Leased assets
| (l) | Leased assets |
i) Classification of a lease
The Group classifies and accounts for leases as either a finance or operating lease, depending on the terms. Leases where the lessee assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
ii) Lessee
Under a finance lease, the lessee recognizes the leased asset and a liability for future lease payments. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Under an operating lease, the lessee recognizes the lease payments as expense over the lease term and does not recognize the leased asset in its statement of financial position.
iii) Lessor
Under a finance lease, the lessor recognizes a finance lease receivable. Over the lease term the lessor accrues interest income on the net investment. The receipts under the lease are allocated between reducing the net investment and recognizing finance income, so as to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment.
Under an operating lease, the lessor recognizes the lease payments as income over the lease term and the leased asset in its statement of financial position.
(m) Assets held for sale
| (m) | Assets held for sale |
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale. In order to be

classified as held for sale, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale must be highly probable. The assets or disposal group that are classified as non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.
The Group recognizes an impairment loss for any initial or subsequent write-down of an asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell, and a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell, up to the cumulative impairment loss previously recognized in accordance with IAS 36K-IFRS No. 1036Impairment of Assets.
An asset that is classified as held for sale or part of a disposal group classified as held for sale is not depreciated (or amortized).
(n) Impairment of non-financial assets
| (n) | Impairment of non-financial assets |
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than assets arising from employee benefits, deferred tax assets and assets held for sale, are reviewed at the end of the reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, are tested for impairment annually by comparing their recoverable amount to their carrying amount.
SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012
The Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual asset, ifasset. If it is impossible to measure the individual recoverable amount of an asset, then the Group estimates the recoverable amount ofcash-generating unit (“CGU”). A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. The value in use is estimated by applying a pre-tax discount rate that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU for which estimated future cash flows have not been adjusted, to the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each CGU that is expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the goodwill acquired. Any impairment identified at the CGU level will first reduce the carrying value of goodwill and then be used to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. Except for impairment losses in respect of goodwill which are never reversed, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(o) Non-derivative financial liabilities
| (o) | Non-derivative financial liabilities |
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liabilities. The Group recognizes financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial liability.
SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 (In millions of won) i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading or designated as such upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The criteria for designation of financial liabilities at FVTPL upon initial recognition are the same as those of financial assets at FVTPL.
ii) Other financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as other financial liabilities. At the date of initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at fair value minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability from the consolidated statement of financial position when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).
(p) Foreign currency

currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translatedretranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value wasis determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation (see iii) below), or in a qualifying cash flow hedge, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
ii) Foreign operations
If the presentation currency of the Group is different from a foreign operation’s functional currency, the financial statements of the foreign operation are translated into the presentation currency using the following methods:
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are translated to presentation currency at exchange rates at the reporting date.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014
(In millions of won)
| 3. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to functional currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation is treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus they are expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount in the translation is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. In any other partial disposal of a foreign operation, the relevant proportion is reclassified to profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the translation reserve.
iii) Hedge of net investment in foreign operations
The Group applies hedge accounting to foreign currency differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operations and the parent entity’s functional currency (Korean won), regardless of whether the net investment is held directly or through an intermediate parent.
Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a netNet investment in a foreign operation
If the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, then foreign currency difference arising on the item which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in the other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective, and are presented within equity in the translation reserve. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in profit or loss. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount in the translation reserve is transferredshall be reclassified to profit or loss as parton disposal of the profit or loss on disposal.investment.
(q) Equity
| (q) | Equity |
i) Capital stock
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012
Preference share capital is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the Group’s option, and any dividends are discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as distributions within equity upon approval by the Group’s shareholders.
Preference share capital is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as interest expense in profit or loss as accrued.
ii) Hybrid bonds
The Group classifies issued financial instruments, or their component parts, as a financial liability or an equity instrument depending on the substance of the contractual arrangement of such financial instruments. Hybrid bonds where the Group has an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle a contractual obligation are classified as equity instruments and presented in equity.
iii) Capital adjustments
Changes in ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control, such as the subsequent purchase or sale by a parent of a subsidiary’s equity instruments, are accounted for as equity transactions in capital adjustments.
(r) Employee benefits
SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 (In millions of won) i) Short-term employee benefits3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (r) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
ii) Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits include employee benefits that are settled beyond 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, and are calculated at the present value of the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, less the fair value of any related assets. The present value is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using the interest rate of corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
iii) Retirement benefits: defined contribution plans
When an employee has rendered service to the Group during a period, the Group recognizes the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan in exchange for that service as a liability (accrued expense), after deducting any contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for service before the end of the reporting period, the Group recognizes that excess as an asset (prepaid expense) to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
iv) Retirement benefits: defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit
SHINHAN FINANCIAL GROUP CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012
that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of plan assets is deducted. The calculation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in personnel expenses in profit or loss.
The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on high-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which

the benefits are expected to be paid. The Group recognizes all actuarialservice cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) in profit or loss and remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) in other comprehensive income.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses arising from actuarial assumption changes and experiential adjustments in profit or loss.
Whenon the fair valuesettlement of plan assets exceeds the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the Group recognizes an asset, to the extent of the total of cumulative unrecognized past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reduction in the future contributions to the plan.
Past service costs which are the change in the present value of the defined benefits obligation for employee service in prior periods, resulting in the current period from the introduction of, or change to post-employment benefits, are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a defined benefit plan when the Group recognizes the past service cost immediately.settlement occurs.
v) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.
(s) Share-based payment transactions
| (s) | Share-based payment transactions |
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized as personnel expense in profit or loss.
(t) Provisions
| (t) | Provisions |
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012
The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround many events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined at the present value of the expected future cash flows.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer (the Group) to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

(v) Insurance contracts
Insurance contracts are defined as “a contract under which one party (the insurer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder”. A contract that qualifies as an insurance contract remains an insurance contract until all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire. Such a contract that does not contain significant insurance risk is classified as an investment contract and is within the scope of IAS 39,K-IFRS No.1039,Financial Instruments,Recognition and measurementMeasurement to the extent that it gives rise to a financial asset or financial liability, except if the investment contract contains a Discretionary Participation Features (“DPF”). If the contract has a DPF, the contract is subject to IFRS 4,K-IFRS No.1104,Insurance Contracts.
i) Reserves for insurance contracts
The Group accounts for insurance contracts based on the Insurance Business Law and other related Insurance Supervisory Regulation. These insurance contracts are calculated based on insurance terms, premium and policy reserves approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, as follows:
Premium reserve
| • | Premium reserve – Premium reserve is a liability to prepare for the future claims on the valid contracts. Premium reserve is calculated by deducting discounted net premium from the discounted claims expected to be paid in the future period. |
Provision is made for premium payable based on assumptions that all policies are surrendered immediately after fiscal year.
| • | Unearned premium reserve – Unearned premium reserve represents the portion of premiums written which is applicable to the unexpired portion of policies in force. |
Guarantee reserve
At the end of reporting period, the Group is required to make reserve on the outstanding insurance contracts to guarantee a certain level of claims
| • | Guarantee reserve – At the end of reporting period, the Group is required to make reserve on the outstanding insurance contracts to guarantee a certain level of benefit payments for the amount equals to the average amount of net losses of the worst 30% cases forecasted by scenarios or the standard reserve amount by insurance type and the lowest insured amount, whichever is greater. |
| • | Reserve for outstanding claims – Reserve for outstanding claims is an estimate of loss for insured events that have occurred prior to the date of the statement of financial position but for which a fixed value cannot be determined, which includes the following: |

through the expected life of the financial asset or liability (or, where appropriate, a shorter year) to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not future credit losses.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all fees and points paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or liability.
Once an impairment loss has been recognized on a loan, although the accrual of interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the instrument is discontinued, interest income is recognized at the rate of interest that was used to discount estimated future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
ii) Fees and commission
Fees and commission income and expense that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.
Fees and commission income, including account servicing fees, investment management fees, sales commission, placement fees and syndication fees, are recognized as the related services are performed. When a loan commitment is not expected to result in the draw-down of a loan, the related loan commitment fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.
Fees and commission expense relate mainly to transaction and service fees, which are expensed as the services are received.
iii) Dividends
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive income is established.
(x) Customer loyalty program
| (x) | Customer loyalty program |
For customer loyalty programmes, the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of the initial sale is allocated between award credits (“points”) and other components of the fee and commission income. The Group provides awards, in the form of price discounts and by offering a variety of gifts. The fair value allocated to the points is estimated by reference to the fair value of the monetary and/ornon-monetary benefits for which they could be redeemed. The fair value of the benefits is estimated taking into account the expected redemption rate and the timing of such expected redemptions. Such amount is deferred and recognized as unearned revenue. Unearned revenue is recognized only when the points are redeemed and the Group has fulfilled its obligations to provide the benefits. The amount of revenue recognized in those circumstances is based on the number of points that have been redeemed in exchange for benefits, relative to the total number of points that are expected to be redeemed.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from customer loyalty programmes are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the programmes.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
i) Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of

previous years. The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding the temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, and non-taxable or non-deductible items from the accounting profit.
ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized, using the asset-liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which they can be utilized. However, deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting profit or loss nor taxable income.
The Group files its national income tax return with the Korean tax authorities under the consolidated corporate tax system, which allows it to make national income tax payments based on the combined profits or losses of the Controlling Company and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. Deferred taxes are measured based on the future tax benefits expected to be realized in consideration of the expected combined profits or losses of eligible companies in accordance with the consolidated corporate tax system. Consolidated corporate tax amounts, once determined, are allocated to each of the subsidiaries and are used as a basis for the income taxes to be recorded in their separate financial statements.
The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Group recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduces the carrying amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the related current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.
(z) Accounting for trust accounts
| (z) | Accounting for trust accounts |
The Group accounts for trust accounts separately from its group accounts under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and thus the trust accounts are not included in the consolidated financial statements except Guaranteed Fixed Rate Money Trusts controlled by the Group, based on an evaluation of the substance of its relationship with the Group and the SPE’s risks and rewards. Funds transferred between Group account and trust accounts are recognized as borrowings from trust accounts in other liabilities with fees for managing the accounts recognized as non-interest income by the Group.

As a financial services provider, the Group is exposed to various risks relating to lending, credit card, insurance, securities investment, trading and leasing businesses, its deposit taking and borrowing activities in addition to the operating environment.
The principal risks to which the Group is exposed are credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. These risks are recognized, measured and reported in accordance with risk management guidelines established at the controlling company level and implemented at the subsidiary level through a carefully stratified checks-and-balances system.
i) Risk management principles
The Group risk management is guided by the following core principles:
identifying and managing all inherent risks;
standardizing risk management process and methodology;
ensuring supervision and control of risk management independent of business activities;

i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. The Group’s credit risk management encompasses all areas of credit that may result in potential economic loss, including not just transactions that are recorded on balance sheets, but also off-balance-sheet transactions such as guarantees, loan commitments and derivatives transactions.

| • | Credit Risk Management of Shinhan Bank |
Major policies for Shinhan Bank’s credit risk management, including Shinhan Bank’s overall credit risk management plan and credit policy guidelines, are determined by the CreditRisk Policy Committee of Shinhan Bank, the executive decision-making body for management of credit risk. The CreditRisk Policy Committee is headed by the Chief Risk Officer, and also comprises of the Chief Credit Officer, the heads of each business unit and the head of the Credit Risk Team.Management Department. In order to separate the loan approval functions from credit policy decision-making, Shinhan Bank has a Credit Review Committee that performs credit review evaluations, which focus on improving the asset quality and profitability from the loans being made, and operates separately from the CreditRisk Policy Committee.
Shinhan Bank complies with credit risk management procedures pursuant to internal guidelines and regulations and continually monitors and improves these guidelines and regulations. Its credit risk management procedures include:

credit review and monitoring; and
credit risk assessment and control.
Each of Shinhan Bank’s borrowers is assigned a credit rating, which is based on a comprehensive internal credit evaluation system that considers a variety of criteria. For retail borrowers, the credit rating takes into

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012
account the borrower’s biographic details, past dealings with Shinhan Bank and external credit rating information, among others. For corporate borrowers, the credit rating takes into account financial indicators as well as non-financial indicators such as industry risk, operational risk and management risk, among others. The credit rating, once assigned, serves as the fundamental instrument in Shinhan Bank’s credit risk management, and is applied in a wide range of credit risk management processes, including credit approval, credit limit management, loan pricing and computation of allowance for loan losses. Shinhan Bank has separate credit evaluation systems for retail customers, SOHO customers and corporate customers, which are further segmented and refined to meet Basel IIIII requirements.
Loans are generally approved after evaluations and approvals by the relationship manager at the branch level as well as the committee of the applicable business unit at Shinhan Bank. The approval limit for retail loans is made based on Shinhan Bank’s automated credit scoring system. In the case of large corporate loans, approval limits are also reviewed and approved by a Credit Officer at the headquarter level. Depending on the size and the importance of the loan, the approval process is further reviewed by the Credit Officer Committee or the Master Credit Officer Committee. If the loan is considered, significant or the amount exceeds the discretion limit of the Master Credit Officer Committee, further evaluation is made by the Credit Review Committee, which is Shinhan Bank’s highest decision-making body in relation to credit approval.
Pursuant to the foregoing credit review and monitoring procedures and in order to promptly prevent deterioration of loan qualities, Shinhan Bank classifies potentially problematic borrowers into (i) borrowers that show early warning signals, (ii) borrowers that require close monitoring and (iii) normal borrowers, and treats them differentially accordingly.
In order to maintain portfolio-level credit risk at an appropriate level, Shinhan Bank manages its loans using value-at-risk (“VaR”) limits for the entire bank as well as for each of its business units. In order to prevent concentration of risk in a particular borrower or borrower class, Shinhan Bank also manages credit risk by borrower, industry, country and other detailed categories.
Credit Risk Management of Shinhan Card
| • | Credit Risk Management of Shinhan Card |
Major policies for Shinhan Card’s credit risk management are determined by Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Council and Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Committee is responsible for approving them. Shinhan Card’s Risk Management Council is headed by the Chief Risk Officer, and also comprises of the heads of each business unit, supporting unit and relevant department at Shinhan Card. In order to separate credit policy decision-making from credit evaluation functions, Shinhan Card also has a Risk Management Committee, which evaluates applications for corporate loans exceeding a certain amount and other loans deemed important. Shinhan Card uses an automated credit scoring system to approve credit card applications or credit card authorizations. The credit scoring system is divided into two sub-systems: the application scoring system and the behavior scoring system. The behavior scoring system is based largely on the credit history, and the application scoring system is based largely on personal information of the applicant. For credit card applicants with whom the Group has an existing relationship, Shinhan Card’s credit scoring system considers internally gathered information such as repayment ability, total assets, the length of the existing relationship and the applicant’s contribution to profitability. The credit scoring system also automatically conducts credit checks on all credit card applicants.

If a credit score awarded to an applicant is above a minimum threshold, the application is approved unless overridden based on other considerations such as delinquencies with other credit card companies.
Shinhan Card continually monitors all accountholders and accounts using a behavior scoring system. The behavior scoring system predicts a cardholder’s payment pattern by evaluating the cardholder’s credit history, card usage and amounts, payment status and other relevant data. The behavior score is recalculated each month and is used to manage the accounts and approval of additional loans and other products to the cardholder. Shinhan Card also uses the scoring system to monitor its overall risk exposure and to modify its credit risk management strategy.

| * | In the case of loans to banks and governments that are neither past due nor impaired, Shinhan Bank classified loans with a sovereign rating of 6 or above as Grade 1 and those with a sovereign rating of below 6 as Grade 2. Under the guidelines set forth by the Financial Supervisory Commission of Korea, all major commercial banks in Korea, including Shinhan Bank, follow the standardized approach under Basel III for purposes of computing Bank of International Settlement (BIS) ratios for risk classifications of loans to banks and governments. Under this standardized approach under Basel III, risk classification for loans to banks and governments are determined on the basis of sovereign credit ratings, and not internal credit ratings assigned by the lending bank that are specific to the individual banks and governments. More specifically, this approach involves classifying loans to banks and governments in a given jurisdiction as either Grade 1 or Grade 2 based on the sovereign credit ratings for the government of such jurisdiction as determined by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). As for the Group’s subsidiaries other than Shinhan Bank, risk classification of loans to banks and governments is made based on their respective internal credit ratings as these subsidiaries are not subject to the aforesaid guidelines of the Financial Supervisory Commission relating to Basel III risk classification. |
| (*2) | The Group holds collateral against due from banks and loans to customers in the form of mortgage interests over property, other registered securities over assets, and guarantees. Estimates of quantification of the extent to which collateral mitigate credit risk are based on the fair value of collateral. |

(c) Market risk
Market risk from trading positions is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
Interest rate risk from non- trading positions is the risk of loss resulting from interest rate fluctuations that adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Group and affects the earnings and the economic value of net assets of the Group.
Foreign exchange risk arises because offrom the Group’s assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than the Won.
The Group’s market risks arise primarily from Shinhan Bank, and to a lesser extent, Shinhan Investment, which incurs market risk relating to its trading activities.
Shinhan Bank’s Asset & Liability Management Committee, or the ALMRisk Policy Committee acts as the executive decision-makingdecision making body in relation to market risks in terms of setting the risk management policies and risk limits in relation to market risks and assets and controlling market risks arising from trading and non-trading activities. In addition, Shinhan Bank’s Risk Management Department comprehensively manages market risks on an independent basis from Shinhan Bank’s operating departments, and functions as the middle office of Shinhan Bank.

i) Market risk management from trading positions
Trading activities are to realize short-term trading profits in debt and stock markets and foreign exchange markets based on short-term forecast of changes in market situation and profits from arbitrage transactions in derivatives such as swap, forward, futures and option transactions. The Group manages market risk related to its trading positions using VaR, market value-based tool.
Shinhan Bank currently uses the ten-day 99% confidence level-based VaR for purposes of calculating the regulatory capital used in reporting to the Financial Supervisory Service and uses the more conservative ten-day 99.9% confidence level-based VaR for purposes of calculating its “economic” capital used for internal management purposes, which is a concept used in determining the amount of Shinhan Bank’s requisite capital in light of the market risk. In addition, Shinhan Bank also uses the one-day 99% confidencelevel-based VaR on a supplemental basis for purposes of setting and managing risk limits specific to each desk or team in its operating units as well as for back-testing purposes. Shinhan Bank manages VaR measurements and limits on a daily basis based on an automatic interfacing of its trading positions into its market risk measurement system. In addition, Shinhan Bank establishes pre-set loss, sensitivity, investment and stress limits for its trading departments and desks and monitors such limits daily.
Shinhan Investment primarilycurrently uses the one-day 99%ten-day 99.9% confidence level-based historical VaR for managing market risk as this is the norm in the securities industry in Korea. However, sincepurposes of calculating its VaR computation is based on parametric normal distribution, Shinhan Investment also calculates the ten-day 99% VaR by multiplying the one-day 99% VaR by the square root of ten and uses such VaR on a supplemental basis“economic” capital used for internal management purposes. When computing the VaR, Shinhan Investment does not assume any particular probability distribution and calculates it through a simulation of the “full valuation” method based on changes of market variables such as stock prices, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates in the past one year. In addition, Shinhan Investment applies this VaR as a risk limit for the entire company as well as individual departments and products, and the adequacy of such VaR is currently using a variance-covariance methodology called “delta-gamma method” for its overall VaR calculation. The Group managed risk limits that were comprisedreviewed by way of VaR limits, risk limits, stop loss, and transaction limits.daily back-testing.
In order to streamline such differences and use a consistent VaR among operating subsidiaries, the Group has adopted starting in 20122013 a unified group-wide market risk measurement methodology, which uses the ten-day 99.9% confidence level for calculating the VaR.

ii) Interest rate risk management from non-trading positions
Principal market risk from non-trading activities of the Group is interest rate risk, which affects the Group’s earnings and the economic value of the Group’s net assets:
| • | Earnings: interest rate fluctuations have an effect on the Group’s net interest income by affecting its interest-sensitive operating income and expenses and EaR (Earnings at Risk) is a commonly used risk management technique. |
Earnings:
| • | Economic value of net assets: interest rate fluctuations influence the Group’s net worth by affecting the present value of cash flows from the assets, liabilities and other transactions of the Group and VaR is a commonly used risk management technique. |
Interest rate VaR represents the maximum anticipated loss in a net present value calculation, whereas interest rate fluctuations have an effect onEaR represents the Group’smaximum anticipated loss in a net earnings calculation for the immediately following one-year period, in each case, as a result of negative movements in interest income by affecting its interest-sensitive operating income and expenses and EaR (Earnings at Risk) is a commonly used risk management technique.rates.
Economic value of net assets: interest rate fluctuations influence the Group’s net worth by affecting the present value of cash flows from the assets, liabilities and other transactions of the Group and VaR is a commonly used risk management technique.
Accordingly, the Group measures and manages interest rate risk for non-trading activities by taking into account effects of interest rate changes on both its income and net asset value.
The principal objectives of Shinhan Bank’s interest rate risk management are to generate stable net interest income and to protect Shinhan Bank’s net asset value against interest rate fluctuations. Through its asset and liability management system, Shinhan Bank measures and manages its interest rate risk based on various analytical measures such as interest rate gap, duration gap and net present value and net interest income simulations, and monitors on a monthly basis its interest rate VaR limits, interest rate earnings at risk (“EaR”) limits and interest rate gap ratio limits. Shinhan Bank measures its interest rate VaR and interest rate EaR based on a simulated estimation of the maximum decrease in net asset value and net interest income in a one-year period based on various scenario analyses of historical interest rates.
Shinhan Card Co., Ltdand Shinhan Life Insurance also monitors and manages its interest rate risk limits for all its interest-bearing assets and liabilities (including off-balance sheet items) in terms of impact on its earnings and net asset value from changes in interest rates. Shinhan Card primarily usesThe interest rate VaR analysis used by Shinhan Card and EaR analyses to measure its interest rate risk.
In addition, Shinhan Life Insurance monitors and manages its interest rate risk for its investment assets and liabilities basedprincipally focuses on simulations of its asset-liability management system. These simulations typically involve

iii) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises because of the Group’s net foreign currency open position, which is the difference between its foreign currency assets and liabilities, including derivatives.
The Group manages foreign exchange risk on an overall position basis, including its overseas branches, by covering all of its foreign exchange spot and forward positions in both trading and non-trading accounts.
The Risk Policy Committee oversees Shinhan Bank’s foreign exchange exposure for both trading and non-trading activities by establishing limits for the net foreign currency open position, loss limits and VaR limits.
The management of Shinhan Bank’s foreign exchange position is centralized at the FX & Derivatives Department. Dealers in the FX & Derivatives Department manage Shinhan Bank’s overall position within the set limits through spot trading, forward contracts, currency options, futures and swaps and foreign exchange swaps. Shinhan Bank sets a limit for net open positions by currency and the limits for currencies other than the U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Euros and Chinese yuan are set in order to minimize other foreign exchange trading.

| 4. | Financial risk management (continued) |
(d) Liquidity risk
| (d) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
Each subsidiary seeks to minimize liquidity risk through early detection of risk factors related to the sourcing and managing of funding that may cause volatility in liquidity and by ensuring that it maintains an appropriate level of liquidity through systematic management. At the groupwide level, the Group manages liquidity risk by conducting monthly stress tests that compare liquidity requirements under normal situations against those under three types of stress situations, namely, the group-specific internal crisis, crisis in the external market and a combination of internal and external crisis. In addition, in order to preemptively and comprehensively manage liquidity risk, the Group measure and monitor liquidity risk management using various indices, including the “limit management index”, “early warning index” and “monitoring index”.
Shinhan Bank applies the following basic principles for liquidity risk management:
raise funding in sufficient amounts, at the optimal time at reasonable costs;
maintain risk at appropriate levels and preemptively manage them through a prescribed risk limit system and an early warning signal detection system;
secure stable sources of revenue and minimize actual losses by implementing an effective asset-liability management system based on diversified sources of funding with varying maturities;
monitor and manage daily and intra-daily liquidity positions and risk exposures for timely payment and settlement of financial obligations due under both normal and crisis situations;
conduct periodic contingency analysis in anticipation of any potential liquidity crisis and establish and implement emergency plans in case of a crisis actually happening; and
consider liquidity-related costs, benefits of and risks in determining the pricing of the Group’s products and services, employee performance evaluations and approval of launching of new products and services.
As for any potential liquidity shortage at or near the end of each month, Shinhan Card maintains liquidity at a level sufficient to withstand credit shortage for three months. In addition, Shinhan Card manages liquidity risk by defining and managing various indicators of liquidity risk, such as the actual liquidity gap ratio (in relation to the different maturities for assets as compared to liabilities), the liquidity buffer ratio, the maturity repayment ratio, the ratio of actual funding compared to budgeted funding and the ratio of asset-backed securities to total borrowings, at different risk levels of “caution”, “unstable” and “at risk”, and the Group also has contingency plans in place in case of any emergency or crisis.

iv) Sensitivity analysis for fair value measurements in Level 3
Although the Group believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different measurements of fair value.
The favorable and unfavorable effects of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions for valuation of financial instruments have been calculated by applying a ten percent increase or decrease on the values of the unobservable parameter inputs.
| (*1) | DCF : discounted cash flow |
| (*2) | Valuation techniques and inputs are not disclosed when the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value |

| 5. | Significant estimate and judgment |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the application of certain critical accounting and assumptions relative to the future. The management’sManagement’s estimate of the outcome may differ from an actual outcome if the managements’ estimate and assumption based on its best judgment at the reporting date are different from an actual environment. The change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including in profit or loss in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or the year of the change and future years, if the change affects both.
(a) Goodwill
| (a) | Goodwill |
The Group assesses annually whether any objective evidence of impairment on goodwill exists in accordance with the accounting policy as described in note 3. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is measured based on estimates.
(b) Income taxes

| (b) | Income taxes |
The Group is subject to tax law from various countries. Within the normal business process, there are various types of transaction and different accounting method that may add uncertainties to the decision of the final income taxes. The Group has recognized current and deferred tax that reflect tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects, at the end of the reporting year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. However, actual income tax in the future may not be identical to the recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities, and this difference can affect current and deferred tax at the year when the final tax effect is conformed.
(c) Fair value of financial instruments
| (c) | Fair value of financial instruments |
The fair values of financial instruments which are not actively traded in the market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Group determines valuation method and assumptions based on significant market conditions at the end of each reporting year. Diverse valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments, from general market accepted valuation model internally developed valuation model that incorporates various types of assumptions and variables.
(d) Allowances for loan losses, guarantees and unused loan commitments
| (d) | Allowances for loan losses, guarantees and unused loan commitments |
The Group determines and recognizes allowances for losses on loans through impairment testing and recognizes provision for guarantees and unused loan commitments. The accuracy of provisions of credit losses is determined by the methodology and assumptions used for estimating expected cash flows of the borrower for allowances on individual loans and collectively assessing allowances for groups of loans, guarantees and unused loan commitments.
(e) Defined benefit obligation
| (e) | Defined benefit obligation |
The present value of defined benefit obligation that is measured by actuarial valuation method uses various assumptions which can change according to various elements. The rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligations is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting year on high quality corporate bonds. The currency and term of the corporate bonds are consistent with the currency and estimated term of the post-employment benefit obligations. Actuarial gains and losses including experience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss. Other significant assumptions related to defined benefit obligation are based on current market situation.

(f) Impairment of available-for-sale equity investments
| (f) | Impairment of available-for-sale equity investments |
When there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its original cost, there is objective evidence that available-for-sale equity investments are impaired. Accordingly, the Group considers the decline in the fair value of over 50%more than 30% against the original cost as “significant decline” and a six-month continuous decline inthe status when the market price for marketable equity instrumentis less than the carrying amounts of instruments for six consecutive months as a “prolonged decline”.
From now on, a significant decline in standards has been permuted from 50%

| (g) | Hedging relationship |
The hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period. For a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income.

Nonaccrual Loans and Past Due Accruing Loans
We discontinue accruing of interest on loans when payment of interest and/or principal becomes past due by 90 days. Loans are not reclassified as accruing until interest and principal payments are brought current.
We generally do not request borrowers to make immediate repayment of the whole outstanding principal balances and related accrued interest on loans whose interest payments are past due for one to 14 days in case of commercial loans and one to 30 days in case of retail loans.
Interest foregone is the interest due on nonaccrual loans that has not been accrued in our books of account. In 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 we would have recorded gross interest income of ￦202 billion, ￦151 billion, ￦145 billion, ￦131 billion and ￦163 billion, respectively, on loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis throughout the respective years, or since origination for loans held for part of the year, had the loans been current with respect to their original contractual terms. The amount of interest income on those loans that was included in our net income in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were ￦109 billion, ￦90 billion, ￦52 billion, ￦66 billion and ￦70 billion, respectively.
The category “accruing but past due one day” includes loans which are still accruing interest but on which principal or interest payments are contractually past due one day or more. We continue to accrue interest on loans where the total amount of loan outstanding, including accrued interest, is fully secured by cash on deposits.
The following table shows, at the dates indicated, the amount of loans that are placed on a nonaccrual basis and accruing loans which are past due one day or more.

The following table presents, at the dates indicated, our loans which are “troubled debt restructurings” as defined under IFRS for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and under U.S. GAAP for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. These loans mainly consist of corporate loans that have been restructured through the process of workout, court receivership and composition. See “Item 4.B.
