Proposal No. 3: Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation

The matter was approved as originally proposed. In response to the amendment of the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act, which made it possible for listed companies to hold a general meeting of shareholders without designating a place for the meeting under certain conditions by adding relevant provisions to their articles of incorporation, our Articles of Incorporation were amended to enable us to hold a general meeting of shareholders without designating a place for the meeting, for the purpose of diversifying options for the manner of holding a general meeting.

The partial amendments shall become effective upon the Company's receiving confirmation from the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry as well as the Minister of Justice regarding the legitimacy of instituting the Company's general meeting of shareholders without the designation of its place, pursuant to the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act.
