IMPORTANT NOTICE
Prospective investors should rely only on the information contained in this Prospectus or to which
reference is made herein. The Note Issuer has not authorised anyone to provide prospective investors
with information that is different. This document may only be used where it is legal to sell the Notes.
The information in this Prospectus may only be accurate on the date of this Prospectus.
On the Closing Date, the Note Issuer will use the proceeds of the issue of the Notes to subscribe
for the Bond from the Bond Issuer. The Bond Issuer will use the proceeds of the issue of the Bond to
purchase, from the Seller (as defined below), a beneficial interest (the ‘‘Investor Beneficial Interest’’),represented by a Japanese Yen denominated certificate (the ‘‘Investor Beneficial Certificate’’), in the
assets of a trust (the ‘‘Japanese Trust’’) established pursuant to a trust agreement (the ‘‘TrustAgreement’’) dated 11 April, 2011 among, inter alios, Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. (the ‘‘Trustor’’, the‘‘Seller’’, the ‘‘Servicer’’, ‘‘Korean Air’’, ‘‘KAL’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) and The Bank of New York
Mellon Trust (Japan), Ltd. (the ‘‘Japanese Trustee’’). In accordance with the Trust Agreement, on 21
April, 2011 (the ‘‘Entrustment Date’’), the Trustor has entrusted certain Receivables and on the Closing
Date will entrust the Reserve Funding Amount (each as defined herein) in each case to the Japanese
Trustee. The Bond Issuer, as holder of the Investor Beneficial Certificate, will be entitled to receive
certain distributions from the assets of the Japanese Trust, as more fully described in ‘‘Transaction
Summary — The Trust’’. The Bond Issuer will make payments of interest and principal on the Bond on
each Bond Payment Date (as defined herein) or on the relevant Mandatory Redemption Payment Date
(as defined herein) following and to the extent of receipt of distributions of principal on the Investor
Beneficial Certificate on each Trust Distribution Date (as defined herein) or on the relevant Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date. The Note Issuer will make payments of interest through the Swap
Agreement (as defined herein) and principal on the Notes on each Note Payment Date (as defined
below) following receipt of payments of interest and principal on the Bond from the Bond Issuer.
Interest on the Notes is payable by reference to successive interest periods (each, an ‘‘InterestPeriod’’). Interest will be payable on the Notes monthly in arrear on the 27th day of each month (each,
a ‘‘Note Payment Date’’) commencing in May 2011. If a payment is due on a day which is not a
Business Day (as defined herein), such payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case it will be brought forward to the first
preceding Business Day. Interest will accrue on the Principal Amount Outstanding (as defined herein) of
the Notes as of the first day of each relevant Interest Period on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in such Interest Period and a 360-day year at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the JPY-
LIBOR-BBA for one month Yen deposits plus a margin of 1.20 per cent. except in relation to the first
Interest Period where JPY-LIBOR-BBA will be determined by way of a linear interpolation of JPY-
LIBOR-BBA for one month Yen deposits and JPY-LIBOR-BBA for two month Yen deposits. ‘‘JPY-LIBOR-BBA’’ means that for an Interest Period the rate for 1 month deposits in Yen which appears on
the Reuters Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date (as defined
herein). If such rate does not appear on the Reuters Page 3750, the rate for that Interest Period will be
determined in accordance with JPY-LIBOR-Reference Banks. ‘‘JPY-LIBOR-Reference Banks’’ means
that the rate for an Interest Period will be determined on the basis of the rates at which 1 month deposits
in Yen are offered by the Reference Banks (as defined herein) in London at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time on the Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market. The
Note Trustee will request each of the Reference Banks in London to provide a quotation of its rate. If
two quotations are provided, the rate for that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the
quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that Interest Period will
be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by each of the Reference Banks in Tokyo, at approximately
11:00 a.m., Tokyo time, on the first day of that Interest Period for 1 month loans in Yen to leading
European banks.
2
Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Note Issuer will redeem the Notes in
full on the Note Payment Date falling in April 2014 (the ‘‘Note Maturity Date’’) at their Principal
Amount Outstanding together with accrued interest to the Note Maturity Date. However, upon receipt of
a redemption notice in respect of the Bond (the ‘‘Bond Redemption Notice’’) from the Bond Issuer, the
Note Issuer will redeem the Notes, in whole or in part to the extent of funds available therefor in
accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the Note Trust Deed on the next succeeding Note
Payment Date or on the relevant Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, at their Principal Amount
Outstanding on such date together with accrued interest to such date. See ‘‘Terms and Conditions of the
Notes’’.
The Credit Facility Provider (as defined herein) will grant a credit facility (the ‘‘Credit Facility’’)to the Note Issuer enhancing the likelihood of timely payments of interest and principal on the Notes.
It is expected that the Notes will, when issued, be assigned a ‘‘A1 (sf)’’ rating by the Rating
Agency. The rating will relate to the timely payments of interest and principal on the Notes. A rating is
not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, does not address the likelihood or timing of
prepayment and may be subject to revision, qualification, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the
assigning rating organisation. A revision, qualification, suspension or withdrawal of any rating assigned
to the Notes may adversely affect the market price of the Notes.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under the
securities laws of any state of the United States and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S

due and payable prior to the due date for payment thereof by reason of default by the Credit
Facility Provider or (ii) is not repaid at maturity as extended by the period of grace, if any,
applicable thereto, or (iii) any guarantee given by the Credit Facility Provider in respect of
External Indebtedness of any other person is not honoured when due and called; or
(d) Korea declares a moratorium on the payment of any External Indebtedness (including
obligations arising under guarantees) of Korea or Korea becomes liable to repay prematurely
any sums in respect of such External Indebtedness (including obligations arising under
guarantees) as a result of a default under, or breach of the terms applicable to, such External
Indebtedness or such obligations, or Korea ceases to be a member of the International
Monetary Fund or the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, or the

creditors; or

governing body, whether obtained directly or indirectly, and whether obtained by ownership
of share capital, the possession of voting rights, contract or otherwise; or
(g) the Credit Facility Provider is adjudicated or found bankrupt or insolvent or any order is
made by a competent court or administrative agency or any resolution is passed by the Credit
Facility Provider to apply for bankruptcy or for judicial composition proceedings with its
creditors or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or other similar official in insolvency
proceedings in relation to the Credit Facility Provider or a substantial part of the assets of the

business.
Following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Drawdown Trigger Event, the Credit
Facility Provider will no longer be the Controlling Beneficiary (other than in the limited circumstances
specified in ‘‘— Transaction Parties — The Controlling Beneficiary’’ above).
Following the declaration by the Controlling Beneficiary of a Mandatory Redemption Event and
upon receipt of notice from the Transaction Administrator that the amount of funds available to the Note
Issuer for redemption of the Notes is less than the Note Outstanding Amount (as defined below), the
Credit Facility Provider will notify the Note Trustee and the Transaction Administrator in writing as to
whether in its sole discretion (if no Drawdown Trigger Event has occurred) it will, within the limits of
the then available Commitment Amount, make an Advance under the Credit Facility Deed equal to
either (a) the amount by which amounts on deposit in the Note Issuer Account are less than the Note
Outstanding Amount or (b) the Note Collection Shortfall with respect to the Notes scheduled to be paid
on the next succeeding Note Payment Date. If a Drawdown Trigger Event has occurred (whether or not
22
a Mandatory Redemption Event has been declared), the Credit Facility Provider will, within the limits of
the then available Commitment Amount, be obliged to make an Advance equal to the amount by which
amounts on deposit in the Note Issuer Account are less than the Note Outstanding Amount.

prepaid, the aggregate of (a) the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes as at the immediately

interest due and payable in respect of the Notes up to (but excluding) such day (ii) the Fixed Amount
due on the next succeeding Swap Payment Date and (iii) the Floating Amount due on the next
succeeding Swap Payment Date and (c) the aggregate of those amounts which are, in accordance with
the Note Trust Deed, due and payable in priority to or pari passu with the amounts due and payable by
the Note Issuer under the Notes.
‘‘Note Collection Shortfall’’ means, with respect to the relevant Note Payment Date, the amount,
if positive, of: (i) the aggregate amounts payable from the Note Issuer Account under paragraphs (a),
(b), (c) and (d) of Clause 8.5 of the Note Trust Deed on such Note Payment Date less (ii) the aggregate
amounts on deposit in the Note Issuer Account on such Note Payment Date (after taking into account
any amounts actually paid, or scheduled to be paid, from the Note Issuer Account on the related Swap
Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Amount and any amounts actually received, or scheduled to be
received, into the Note Issuer Account on the related Swap Payment Date in respect of the Floating
Amount).
The Swap Agreement
The Note Issuer entered into an ISDA Master Agreement, together with a schedule and a
confirmation on 21 April, 2011 (the ‘‘Swap Agreement’’). On the fourth Hong Kong, Dublin, London,
Seoul and Tokyo Business Day preceding each Note Payment Date or, as the case may be, the second
Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo Business Day preceding a Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (each, a
‘‘Swap Payment Date’’), the Note Issuer will make a fixed payment to the Swap Provider (each, a
‘‘Fixed Amount’’) and the Swap Provider will make a floating payment to the Note Issuer (each, a
‘‘Floating Amount’’) equal to the interest payable on the Notes on the next Note Payment Date or, as
the case may be, the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date.
The Note Issuer will pay certain charges of the Swap Provider (the ‘‘Swap Provider Charges’’)pursuant to the Swap Agreement and interest thereon, from and including, the relevant Early
Termination Date (as defined in the Swap Agreement) to, but excluding, the date on which such Swap
Provider Charges are paid under the Swap Agreement. The Note Issuer will also pay certain additional
amounts to the Swap Provider arising as a result of the commencement of the Early Amortisation Period,
the Enforcement Period or arising after the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date.

under the Notes will be limited to the Note Secured Property, including the Bond and the amounts from
time to time available in accordance with, and in the order of priority set out in, the Note Trust Deed.
Noteholders will have no claim or recourse against the Note Issuer in respect of any unsatisfied amounts
after the application in accordance with the Note Trust Deed of the funds comprising the Note Secured
Property and/or representing the proceeds of realisation thereof, and in such event the Notes and all
23
other outstanding obligations of the Note Issuer will be waived and extinguished. The obligations of the
Note Issuer under the Notes and the Transaction Documents are corporate obligations and Noteholders
will have no claim or recourse against any shareholder, employee, officer, director or agent of the Note
Issuer.

not petition a court for, or take any other action or commence any proceedings for, the liquidation,
winding-up, bankruptcy or reorganisation of the Note Issuer, or for the appointment of a receiver,

A ‘‘Potential Early Amortisation Event’’ will be defined to mean any condition, event or act
which, with the lapse of time and/or the issue, making or giving of any notice, certification, declaration,
demand, determination and/or request and/or the taking of any similar action and/or the fulfilment of

Servicer Termination Events
The Servicing Agreement will define ‘‘Servicer Termination Event’’ to include, inter alia:
(a) the Servicer defaults in the payment or deposit on the due date of any payment or deposit due
and payable by it under any Transaction Document to which it is a party (other than such
default as may be caused by a technical or administrative error and is remedied within three
Seoul and Tokyo Business Days), including the Servicer’s failure to transfer Collections in
accordance with the Servicing Agreement;
(b) the Servicer defaults in the performance or observance of any of its other covenants and
obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party and (except where such

or withdrawal is not remedied within ten Seoul and Tokyo Business Days thereafter.
Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event
which remains unremedied, the Japanese Trustee, who will act in accordance with the Controlling
Beneficiary’s instructions (including the grant of any waiver of a Servicer Termination Event), may
terminate the appointment of the Servicer provided that the termination of the appointment shall not
become effective until a successor Servicer is appointed and has commenced performance of its services.
The Japanese Trustee may terminate the appointment of the Servicer if, in the reasonable opinion
of the Japanese Trustee:
(a) the Servicer is in breach of any of its material duties under the Servicing Agreement;
(b) the Servicer is unable to accurately perform its duties under the Servicing Agreement; or
(c) it is necessary to protect the interests of the Beneficiaries.
Upon termination of the Servicer’s appointment, the Servicer will be obligated to immediately
deliver or make available to such person as the Japanese Trustee directs, inter alia, all documents, files
and records relating to the Entrusted Assets necessary for the collection thereof or the enforcement of
the rights of the Japanese Trustee therein and all moneys or other assets then held by the Servicer on
behalf of any party (other than the Seller Beneficiary) to any Transaction Document.

obligations under the Investor Beneficial Certificate and the Seller Beneficial Certificate will be limited
to the Entrusted Assets and the amounts from time to time available in accordance with, and in the order
of priority set out in, the Trust Agreement. The holders of the Investor Beneficial Certificate and the
Seller Beneficial Certificate will have no claim or recourse against the Japanese Trust or the Japanese
Trustee in respect of any unsatisfied amounts after the application in accordance with the Trust
Agreement of the funds comprising the Entrusted Assets and/or representing the proceeds of realisation
thereof, and in such event the Investor Beneficial Certificate and the Seller Beneficial Certificate will be
waived and extinguished.

accordance with the order of priority set out in ‘‘— Application of Funds on Trust Distribution Dates’’
below) and from the Collection Account to the Reserve Account following the occurrence of a First
Trigger or a Second Trigger. To the extent that the First Trigger or Second Trigger has been Cured (as
defined below), the Japanese Trustee will transfer the balance on deposit in the Reserve Account in
excess of the Required Reserve Balance to the Collection Account.
The Transaction Administrator will notify the Japanese Trustee of the occurrence, continuance or
Cure of a First Trigger or a Second Trigger. A ‘‘First Trigger’’ will occur and be continuing on any
date on which the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or less than 3:1 but greater than 2.5:1. A
‘‘Second Trigger’’ will occur and be continuing on any date on which the Debt Service Coverage Ratio
is equal to or less than 2.5:1 but greater than 1.8:1.
‘‘Cure’’ or ‘‘Cured’’ means (a) in respect of the First Trigger, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as
calculated and set out in three consecutive Transaction Administrator Reports is greater than 3:1 and (b)

Bond Issuer or the Note Issuer from time to time.

All Collections received by the Japanese Trustee will be credited to the Collection Account and
transferred to the Trust Account until the Required Amount for the next succeeding Trust Distribution
Date is on deposit in the Trust Account.
On the second Tokyo Business Day after each Collection date (each a ‘‘Cash Release Date’’), theJapanese Trustee will calculate whether the aggregate amounts on deposit in the Trust Account two
Business Days before the relevant Cash Release Date exceed the Required Amount for the next
succeeding Trust Distribution Date. The Japanese Trustee will apply any such amounts in excess of the
Required Amount (each such amount, a ‘‘Cash Release Amount’’) as an advance distribution of
principal on the Seller Beneficial Interest on the relevant Cash Release Date if each of the following
conditions have been satisfied two Business Days before such Cash Release Date (the ‘‘Cash ReleaseConditions’’):
(a) no Early Amortisation Event, Potential Early Amortisation Event, Event of Default, Potential
Event of Default (as defined below) or Second Trigger will have occurred or be continuing
and no Mandatory Redemption Event will have been declared on such date; and
(b) if any First Trigger has occurred or is continuing on such date, the Required Reserve Balance
is on deposit in the Reserve Account on such date.
In the event that the Required Amount for any Trust Distribution Date is not on deposit in the
Trust Account two Business Days prior to the next succeeding Trust Distribution Date, the Japanese
Trustee will transfer amounts to the Trust Account from the Reserve Account until the Required Amount
is on deposit in the Trust Account or until the balance on deposit in the Reserve Account is zero.

and/or the issue, making or giving of any notice, certification, declaration, demand, determination and/or

Redemption Payment Date, all amounts payable by the Japanese Trustee in respect of items ‘‘first’’ to
‘‘seventh’’ in ‘‘— Application of Funds on Trust Distribution Dates’’.

to the credit of the Collection Account shall be transferred to an administrative sub-account of the Trust
Account established by the Japanese Trustee for the purposes of making payments on each Trust
Distribution Date or on a Mandatory Redemption Payment Date until the Required Account is on
deposit (each a ‘‘Sub-Account’’).
The Japanese Trustee will distribute all amounts on deposit in the Trust Account on each Trust
Distribution Date or on a Mandatory Redemption Payment Date in accordance with the order of priority
set out in ‘‘— Application of Funds on Trust Distribution Dates’’ below.
Withholding Tax
Upon imposition of any withholding or other applicable Taxes on any payment on the Investor
Beneficial Certificate, such payment will be increased by an amount sufficient to result in receipt by the
Investor Beneficiary of a net amount equal to the payment that would have been received absent such
Taxes.
Other Currencies
If any payments to be made on any Trust Distribution Date are to be made in the Other Currency,
the Japanese Trustee is authorised to effect all foreign exchange transactions at the spot rate of exchange
obtained from the Account Bank for the conversion of Japanese Yen into such Other Currency (and, if
no exchange rate is available from the relevant Account Bank, at such rate as it is able to obtain) in

RISK FACTORS
The following is a summary of certain aspects of the offering of the Notes about which prospective
investors should be aware but is not intended to be exhaustive. Prospective investors should carefully
consider the following factors together with the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus
before deciding to invest in the Notes and seek independent tax, legal and other relevant advice as to the
structure and viability of making an investment in the Notes.
Risks Relating to the Notes
There is currently no secondary market for the Notes and there may be limited liquidity forNoteholders
The Notes comprise a new issue of securities for which there is no current public market. No
assurance can be given that a secondary trading market for the Notes will develop, or, if a secondary
trading market does develop, that it will provide Noteholders with liquidity of investment or that such
liquidity will be sustained. The market value of the Notes may fluctuate depending on factors including,
among others:
(a) prevailing interest rates;
(b) the rating of the Credit Facility Provider;
(c) the condition of the Korean airline industry;
(d) political and economic developments in Japan and Korea; and
(e) market conditions for similar securities.
Consequently, any sale of Notes by Noteholders in any secondary market which may develop may
be at a discount from the original purchase price of such Notes. Application has been made to list the
Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange. The Note Issuer does not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on
any stock exchange other than the Irish Stock Exchange.
The Note Issuer has no operating history
The Note Issuer is a newly-formed entity and has no operating history and no material assets other
than the Bond. The Note Issuer will not engage in any business activity other than the issuance of the
Notes, certain activities conducted in connection with the payment of amounts in respect of the Notes
and other activities incidental or related to the foregoing. Income derived from the Bond will be the
Note Issuer’s principal source of funds.
The Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Note Issuer
The Note Conditions will provide that recourse against the Note Issuer in relation to its obligations
under the Notes and all other obligations under the Transaction Documents will be limited to amounts
from time to time available for such obligations in accordance with the Note Trust Deed. If such
amounts are insufficient to pay in full all amounts due under the Notes after payment of all amounts
having priority over the Notes, the Noteholders will have no further claim against the Note Issuer in
respect of any unpaid amounts and the liability of the Note Issuer with respect to such unpaid amounts
will be extinguished.
44
None of the equityholders, officers, directors or incorporators of the Note Issuer, the Joint
Arrangers, the Japanese Trustee, the Security Agent, the Transaction Administrator, the Swap Provider
and Note Trustee, any of their respective Affiliates or any other person or entity (other than the Note
Issuer) will be obligated to make payments on the Notes. In the absence of the Credit Facility,
Noteholders must rely on payments received in respect of the Bond for the payment of interest on and
principal of the Notes and no assurance can be given that such collections will be sufficient to pay all
amounts due on the Notes.
If the Credit Facility Provider is unable or fails to perform its obligations under the Credit FacilityDeed, the Note Issuer’s ability to make timely and complete payments on the Notes could be adverselyaffected
The payments on the Notes will depend on payments being received by the Note Issuer under the
Bond, which will depend on payments being received by the Bond Issuer under the Investor Beneficial
Certificate which, in turn, will depend on the Collections. If the cashflow generated from the Collections
is not sufficient for the Bond Issuer to meet its payment obligations under the Bond in full and on a
timely basis, the Note Issuer will not have sufficient funds to make payments on the Notes and the
Credit Facility Provider will be required to make payments under the Credit Facility Deed to meet the
shortfall in respect of payments of principal and interest of the Notes and payments in priority to or pari
passu with the principal and interest of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Facility Deed. The Credit Facility will be limited to the Commitment Amount, which will be
¥20,757,597,790 less the aggregate of (i) the aggregate amount of all Advances (but excluding any
amount of interest, additional interest and compounding and any amount deemed to be an Advance)
made from time to time and (ii) the aggregate of (x) all amounts paid under items ‘‘first’’, ‘‘second’’ and
‘‘fourth’’ of Clause 8.5 of the Note Trust Deed on all prior Note Payment Dates and (y) all Fixed
Amounts paid on all prior Swap Payment Dates, in each case prior to the date of determination (save to
the extent made with the proceeds of an Advance). See ‘‘Transaction Summary — Credit Facility’’.
There can be no assurance that the Commitment Amount of the Credit Facility will be sufficient to
enable the Note Issuer to meet its obligations in full or that the Credit Facility Provider will or can meet
its payment obligations under the Credit Facility. Since the rating on the Notes depends on the rating of
the Credit Facility Provider, and since Noteholders must depend on payments by the Credit Facility
Provider under the Credit Facility, in the event the Note Issuer is unable to make timely payment of the
amounts due on the Notes, prospective investors should conduct their own investigation of the Credit
Facility Provider. The obligations of the Credit Facility Provider under the Credit Facility are unsecured
and do not constitute a guarantee of interest on or principal of the Notes.
In the absence of the Credit Facility, Noteholders will have recourse only to the Note Security for
the payment of interest on and principal of the Notes and no assurance can be given that the Note
Security will be sufficient to pay all amounts due on the Notes.
If the Government ceases to exercise control over the Credit Facility Provider, the Credit FacilityProvider may no longer have the benefit, in whole or in part, of the Government support under theKDB Act
As a result of the KDB Act, the Government is generally responsible for the operations of the
Credit Facility Provider and is legally obligated to replenish any deficit that arises if its reserve,
consisting of its surplus and capital surplus items, is insufficient to cover its annual net losses. If the
Credit Facility Provider had insufficient funds to make any payment under any of its obligations, under
the KDB Act the Government would take appropriate steps to enable the Credit Facility Provider to
make such payment when due.
45
Under the KDB Act, as amended in May 2009, the initial sale by the Government of its equityinterest in KDB Financial Group shall be made by May 2014. If the privatisation makes progress, andthe Government ceases to exercise control (directly or indirectly) over the Credit Facility Provider, theCredit Facility Provider may no longer have the benefit, in whole or in part, of the Government supportunder the KDB Act. The Credit Facility Provider would then have to rely on its own resources tocomply with its obligations, including under the Credit Facility. No assurance can be given that, theCredit Facility Provider would have sufficient resources to comply with those obligations, in whole or inpart, and, in that event, the Note Issuer may not be able to make timely payment of the amounts due onthe Notes. See “The Credit Facility Provider and the Swap Provider”.
Withholding taxes under the Notes
All payments in respect of the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding ordeduction for, any present or future Taxes, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.Neither the Note Issuer nor the Credit Facility Provider shall be obliged to make any additionalpayments as a result of the imposition of such withholding taxes on the Notes. Any amount which theNote Issuer is obliged to withhold or deduct from payments in respect of the Notes on account of Taxwill not be secured by the Credit Facility Provider. The Note Issuer has, however, received anundertaking from the Governor-in-Council of the Cayman Islands that, for a period of twenty years fromthe date of the undertaking, no law imposing any withholding tax shall apply to the Note Issuer or itsoperations. See ‘‘Taxation — Cayman Islands Taxation’’.
The rating on the Notes may be changed at any time and may adversely affect the market price of theNotes
It is a condition to the issuance of the Notes that the Notes be rated ‘‘A1 (sf)’’ by the RatingAgency upon issuance. The rating addresses the full and timely payment of interest and the timelyrepayment of principal on or before the maturity date in accordance with the terms and conditions of theNotes. The rating of the Notes will be based primarily on the rating of the Credit Facility Provider,assessment of relevant structural features of the transaction and the likelihood of the payment of interestand principal on the Notes in a full and timely manner. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase,hold or sell the Notes. No assurance can be given that a rating will remain in effect for any given periodof time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by an assigning rating agency in thefuture if, in its judgment, circumstances in the future so warrant, such as the insolvency of the CreditFacility Provider. Any decline in the financial position of the Credit Facility Provider or the Note Issuermay impair the ability of the Note Issuer to make payments to the Noteholders under the Notes and/orresult in the rating of the Notes being lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely. If the rating initiallyassigned to the Notes is subsequently lowered or withdrawn for any reason, no person or entity will beobligated to provide any additional credit enhancement with respect to the Notes and the Credit FacilityProvider’s obligations under the Credit Facility will not be affected. Any reduction or withdrawal of arating may have an adverse effect on the liquidity and market price of the Notes. Any reduction orwithdrawal of a rating will not constitute a Note Event of Default or an event requiring the Note Issuerto redeem any Notes.
Payments on the Notes depend on Collections, the Investor Beneficial Certificate, the Bond, the SwapAgreement and the Credit Facility
The ability of the Note Issuer to meet its obligations to pay interest and principal on the Notes willdepend on timely payments with respect to Collections, payments under the Investor BeneficialCertificate, the Bond, the Swap Agreement and, if necessary, the Credit Facility (in respect of scheduledpayments of interest and payment of principal on the Notes in accordance with the provisions of theCredit Facility Deed) and on the due performance by the other parties to the Transaction Documents oftheir obligations thereunder. Failure of the Note Issuer to receive timely payments under the Bond wouldnot, however, affect the obligations of the Credit Facility Provider under the Credit Facility Deed.
46
Payments of interest with respect to the Bond are at a variable rate whereas payments of interest
with respect to the Notes are at a floating rate. The Note Issuer has entered into a Swap Agreement with
the Swap Provider under which the Swap Provider will make floating rate payments to the Note Issuer
equal to the floating rate payments on the Notes in exchange for fixed rate payments by the Note Issuer
not greater than the variable rate payments made with respect to the Bond. No assurance can be given
that the Swap Provider will comply with its obligations under the Swap Agreement in which event the
Note Issuer may have insufficient funds to make interest payments on the Notes.
The Notes are subject to mandatory redemption under certain circumstances
Upon the declaration by the Controlling Beneficiary of a Mandatory Redemption Event, the Note
Issuer will redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, on the date which is nine Business Days after the
additional entrustment of Japanese Yen referred to below, at their Note Redemption Amount.
Accordingly, the Bond Issuer will be obliged to redeem the Bond. If a Mandatory Redemption Event is
declared (which includes a breach of any of the warranties with respect to any Entrusted Assets), the
Trustor will be required to entrust to the Japanese Trustee additional Japanese Yen in an amount equal
to the Mandatory Redemption Amount, such amount being sufficient to redeem fully the Investor
Beneficial Certificate on or before the second Business Day following any such additional entrustment.
Such additionally entrusted Japanese Yen shall be credited on such date to the Trust Account and will
be used for redemption of the Investor Beneficial Certificate. No assurance can be given that the Trustor
will have sufficient funds to entrust to the Japanese Trustee such additional Japanese Yen. The
obligations of the Trustor are unsecured. Upon the declaration by the Controlling Beneficiary of a
Mandatory Redemption Event, the Notes may be redeemed other than on a Note Payment Date.
The Investor Beneficial Certificate will be redeemed and therefore the Bond and therefore the
Notes will be redeemed in inverse chronological order to the extent of funds received from the Trustor
with respect to the Mandatory Redemption Amount. Failure by the Trustor to deposit the Mandatory
Redemption Amount in full will result ultimately in a drawing under the Credit Facility (subject to the
available Commitment Amount). However in that event the Credit Facility Provider will have the option
at its sole discretion of making an advance under the Credit Facility equal to either: (i) the amount by
which amounts on deposit in the Note Issuer Account are less than the Note Outstanding Amount; or (ii)
the amount by which amounts on deposit in the Note Issuer Account are less than the aggregate amount
of the next scheduled payment of interest and principal with respect to the Notes and all amounts which
are due and payable in priority to, or pari passu with, interest and principal with respect to the Notes as
at the next following Note Payment Date; provided that, if a Drawdown Trigger Event has occurred, the
Credit Facility Provider shall make within the limits of the then available Commitment Amount an
Advance equal to the amount by which amounts on deposit in the Note Issuer Account are less than the
Note Outstanding Amount.
No investigation has been made in respect of the Note Issuer, the Bond Issuer or the Note Security orthe Bond Security
No investigation, and limited searches and enquiries, have been made by or on behalf of the Note
Issuer, the Joint Arrangers and the Credit Facility Provider, and no investigations, searches and enquiries
have been made by or on behalf of the Agents, in respect of the Note Issuer, the Bond Issuer, the Note
Security or the Bond Security. The Agents shall not be bound or concerned to make any investigation
into the creditworthiness of any party in respect of the Note Security or the Bond Security, the validity
of any of such party’s obligations under or in respect of the Note Security or the Bond Security or any
of the terms of the Note Security or the Bond Security.
47
Risks Relating to the Receivables
Servicing and Ongoing Entrustment
Under the Servicing Agreement, the Trustor as Servicer is responsible for the management,
servicing and administration of the Receivables. Payments with respect to the Receivables will be made
directly to the Collection Account by IATA and/or the CASS Bank.
In connection with the entrustment of money following the declaration by the Controlling
Beneficiary of a Mandatory Redemption Event, if the Trustor is declared bankrupt or is subject to
bankruptcy or corporate rehabilitation proceedings or is otherwise in financial difficulties: (i) at any time
during the period in which it is obligated to entrust such amounts pursuant to the Trust Agreement, there
is a risk that the trustee appointed in such proceedings or other creditors of the Trustor could void such
obligation; and (ii) at the time of or after remitting money to the Japanese Trustee, there is a risk that
the trustee appointed in such proceedings or other creditors of the Trustor could avoid or rescind such
payment and demand the Japanese Trustee to return such moneys to the Trustor. In such event, the
Japanese Trustee would be treated as an unsecured creditor of the Trustor. In addition, the payments of
distributions under the Trust Agreement and, in turn, the payments on the Bond and ultimately the
Notes, may be adversely affected.
Perfection of Entrustment
The perfection of the entrustment of the Receivables against IATA, the CASS Bank (unless not
required by the Credit Facility Provider) and third parties will be completed using procedures under the
Civil Code of Japan by the delivery of written notice to, and the receipt of written consent without
objection with notarial certification (kakutei hizuke) from, IATA and the CASS Bank (unless not
required by the Credit Facility Provider). To perfect, against third parties, the entrustment of all of the
Trustor’s rights, title, interest and benefit (present and future, actual and contingent) in, to and under the
IATA Agency Agreements to the Japanese Trustee, the Trustor will make all filings and registrations
with the Nakano branch of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau on or about the Entrustment Date in
accordance with the Perfection Law. Japanese counsel will opine that the entrustment of the Receivables
to the Japanese Trustee on the Entrustment Date has been, and on the assumption that the relevant
parties comply with their obligations will be, validly perfected against any third party, including a
trustee in bankruptcy or in any reorganisation or civil rehabilitation proceedings of the Trustor, pursuant
to the Civil Code and the Perfection Law, on the assumption that: (i) the Trustor has good and
marketable title to the Receivables free from any security interest, claim or encumbrance of any kind;
(ii) no notice to or consent by any Person bearing a notarial certification (kakutei hizuke) in accordance
with the Civil Code of Japan has been or will be made in connection with any assignment or
entrustment of the Receivables except in accordance with the Transaction Documents; and (iii) no filing
of any registration pursuant to the Perfection Law of Japan has been or will be made in connection with
any assignment or entrustment of the Receivables except in accordance with the Transaction Documents.
As IATA is incorporated in Canada, pursuant to the requirements of Japanese law, the entrustment of
the Receivables will also be perfected in Canada by carrying out the required filings.
True Sale of the Receivables and the Investor Beneficial Interest
Although neither statutory law nor judicial precedents provide significant guidance with respect to
the distinction between a true sale and an assignment by way of security, Japanese counsel will opine
that the entrustment of the Receivables to the Japanese Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement is a
transfer of the ownership (and not an assignment by way of security) of the Receivables to the Japanese
Trustee and that the Japanese Trustee, as trustee, owns absolutely the Receivables transferred to it.
Japanese counsel is of the opinion that under Japanese law the entrustment of the Receivables would not
48
be recharacterised as a pledge of, or the granting of any other security interest in, the Receivables, and
Korean counsel to the Joint Arrangers is of the opinion that legal title to the Receivables would not be
part of the Trustor’s estate in insolvency proceedings, except in limited circumstances described in ‘‘—
Servicing and Ongoing Entrustment’’ above.
Korean counsel to the Joint Arrangers will opine that the transfer of the Investor Beneficial Interest
under the Investor Beneficial Interest Sale and Purchase Agreement constitutes or will constitute a sale
of such Investor Beneficial Interest by the Trustor to the Bond Issuer rather than the grant of a security
interest in such Investor Beneficial Interest so that such Investor Beneficial Interest would not be a part
of the Trustor’s bankruptcy estate or assets of the Trustor in the event that the Trustor is in an
insolvency proceeding under the Act on Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy of Korea.
It should be noted that the above statement is based on certain facts that are and/or will be
represented and warranted as correct by the Trustor under the Trust Agreement and the Investor
Beneficial Interest Sale and Purchase Agreement. No assurance can be made as to the accuracy of such
facts, representations and warranties. A breach of those representations and warranties may affect the
true sale nature of the entrustment of the Receivables and the assignment of the Investor Beneficial
Interest.
If the Trustor enters into insolvency proceedings, a third party such as a bankruptcy trustee could
attempt to characterise the transfer of the Receivables as a borrowing secured by the Receivables.
Although it is considered that any such attempt would be ultimately unsuccessful, it could result in
delays in payments on the Investor Beneficial Interest and, thus, on the Bond and consequently the
Notes.
IATA may set-off amounts due under the Receivables against amounts due by the Trustor to IATA
The documentation governing the relationship between the Trustor and IATA is complex. However
under such documentation, IATA has a right of set off against the Trustor under which IATA can set off
(without limitation or restriction) amounts owed by the Trustor to IATA against amounts owed by IATA
to the Trustor (an ‘‘IATA Set-off’’), including amounts due with respect to the Receivables. This right
of set off is not restricted by the CASS Consent. Any exercise by IATA of this right of set off with
respect to amounts due under the Receivables could result in reduced payments with respect to the
Investor Beneficial Certificate and therefore to the Bond Issuer and consequently the Note Issuer having
insufficient funds to meet their respective obligations under, inter alia, the Bond and the Notes. The
Trustor is obliged, under the Trust Agreement, to entrust to the Japanese Trustee additional Japanese
Yen in an amount equal to the amount set off by IATA. No assurance can be given that the Trustor will
have sufficient funds to entrust to the Japanese Trustee such additional Japanese Yen. To the extent that
the Note Issuer has insufficient funds to comply with its obligations under the Notes, the Note Issuer
will be able to make a drawing under the Credit Facility to the extent of such insufficiency up to the
Commitment Amount.
The CASS Bank may set-off amounts due by the Trustor against amounts due by the CASS Bank tothe Trustor
The CASS Bank may set-off (without limitation or restriction) amounts owed by the Trustor to the
CASS Bank against amounts owed by the CASS Bank to the Trustor (‘‘CASS Bank Set-off’’). This
right of set-off is not restricted by the CASS Consent. Any exercise by the CASS Bank of this right of
set-off with respect to amounts due under Receivables could result in reduced payments with respect to
the Investor Beneficial Certificate and therefore to the Note Issuer having insufficient funds to meet its
obligations under the Notes. The Trustor is obliged, under the Trust Agreement, to entrust to the
Japanese Trustee additional Japanese Yen in an amount equal to the amount set-off by the CASS Bank.
49
No assurance can be given that the Trustor will have sufficient funds to entrust to the Japanese Trustee
such additional Japanese Yen. To the extent that the Note Issuer has insufficient funds to comply with
its obligations under the Notes, the Note Issuer will be allowed to make a drawing under the Credit
Facility to the extent of such insufficiency up to the Commitment Amount.
A Korean court may determine that all or part of the entrustment of the Entrusted Assets to theJapanese Trustee is not valid
Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustor will entrust to the Japanese Trustee, all of its rights, title,
interest and benefit (present and future, actual and contingent) in, to and under the Entrusted Assets on
the Closing Date.
Korean counsel to the Joint Arrangers has advised that they are not aware of any court precedents
as to whether the entrustment of Entrusted Assets pursuant to the Trust Agreement could be cancelled or
avoided under the Civil Code or the Act on Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy of Korea. Korean
counsel to the Joint Arrangers will opine that, subject to certain assumptions and qualifications set forth
in their opinion, the entrustment of the Entrusted Assets by the Trustor to the Japanese Trustee pursuant
to the Trust Agreement would not be set aside or avoided under the Civil Code or the Act on Debtor
Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy of Korea. There can be, however, no assurance that a Korean court would
not decide otherwise.
Generation of Receivables
Generation of Receivables depends primarily upon the continued operation of Korean Air’s cargo
transportation business on flights operated by Korean Air to and from Japan (the ‘‘Routes’’). Any
significant reduction in Korean Air’s provision of cargo air transportation services on the Routes,
whether resulting from health events, competition, financial condition, market conditions, political
events, labour actions or otherwise, would have an adverse impact on the generation of Receivables and,
consequently, the making of required payments on the Investor Beneficial Certificate, the Bond and
consequently the Notes. See ‘‘The Receivables’’.
Korean Air as Servicer of the Receivables
Under the Servicing Agreement, Korean Air has been appointed as the Servicer and has agreed to
service, manage and administer the Receivables the (‘‘Serviced Assets’’) and the Collections thereon in
accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. There can be no assurance that Korean Air will
continue to operate as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, or that any successor Servicer will be
able to carry out its duties to the same level of efficiency as Korean Air. In the event that the Servicer
or a successor Servicer is obliged to take any legal action, such action would be required to be
conducted through a qualified lawyer or licensed servicer.
Risk Relating to the Airline Industry
Industry Conditions and Price Competition
Airline profit levels are highly sensitive to, and during recent years have been severely impacted
by, changes in fuel costs, fare levels, customer demand, market conditions, political events and health
events or otherwise. Customer demand and yields, for both cargo and passengers, have been affected by,
among other things, the general state of the economy, international events and actions taken by airlines
with respect to fares.
50
Korean Air estimates that, as at 31 December, 2010, it had 8.2 per cent. market share of the air
cargo transportation business from Japan. In addition to its flight frequency, Korean Air believes that its
marketing strategies and relationships with IATA Agents will ensure that its market share will be
protected.
However, Korean Air faces intense competition from other airlines as well as dedicated cargo
airlines such as Polar Air Cargo, UPS and DHL.
No assurance can be given that competition will not intensify further or that Korean Air will
maintain its current market share or continue to operate the Japan Routes at all. In addition, factors
outside the control of Korean Air could impact cargo tariff and/or passenger fares in the future including
significant industry-wide tariff and/or discounts as well as global economic and health problems.
Aircraft Fuel
Fuel costs (including any applicable taxes) comprise a significant portion of any airline’s costs.
Korean Air is vulnerable to the movement of international crude oil prices and it currently hedges
approximately 10 per cent. of its annual fuel consumption. The remaining 90 per cent. of its annual jet
fuel consumption is procured in spot transactions at the then prevailing market price. Korean Air also
recovers some of its increased costs through use of a fuel surcharge scheme. See ‘‘The Trustor and
Servicer — Risk Management’’. However, its hedging policy may not fully protect the Company from
significant increases in the price of jet fuel in the short-or long-term or may limit the benefit the
Company could derive from significant decreases in the price of jet fuel.
The Company’s reliance on international sources for jet fuel is exacerbated by the fact that Korea
imports 100 per cent. of its crude oil requirements. The Company cannot predict the development of
either short- or long-term jet fuel prices or the availability of fuel. In the event of a fuel supply shortage
resulting from a disruption of oil imports or otherwise, higher fuel prices and, consequently, a
curtailment of the Company’s scheduled services may result. In addition, all fuel costs are U.S. dollar
denominated and therefore subject to the effects of currency exchange fluctuations.
Regulatory Matters
The availability of international routes to Korea’s airlines is regulated by treaties and related
agreements between the Government and foreign governments and the allocation of such available
routes between Korea’s airlines is regulated by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs
(the ‘‘MLTM’’). The MLTM has established regulatory policies intended to promote controlled growth,
which Korean Air believes will be beneficial to the development of the Korean airline industry. The
regulatory framework within which Korean Air operates can, however, limit its flexibility to respond to
market conditions, competition or changes in its cost structure and the implementation of specific
MLTM policies could adversely affect its operations.
High Operating Leverage
The airline industry is characterised by a high degree of operating leverage. The expenses of each
flight, particularly labour and fuel costs, do not vary proportionately with the amount of cargo or the
number of passengers carried, while revenues generated from a particular flight are directly related to
the amount of cargo and/or the number of passengers carried and the pricing structure of the flight.
Accordingly, a decrease in the amount of cargo and/or the number of passengers carried would result in
a disproportionately greater decrease in profits. See ‘‘The Receivables’’.
51
External Factors
The airline industry has recovered significantly from external factors, such as the terrorist attacks
in the United States on 11 September, 2001, the Iraq war and the Serve Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(‘‘SARS’’) outbreak in 2003. In addition, the global economic financial crisis in 2008 and the spread of
H1N1 virus in 2009 caused a decrease in airline traffic globally.
No assurance can be given that similar events will not occur in the future or that other events will
not occur which will have a material adverse impact on the world economy and air traffic (in particular,
on the Routes) and therefore on the generation of Receivables and ultimately on payments of the Notes.
Risk Relating to Japan
Japanese Economy
After achieving significant economic growth from the 1960s until the early 1990s, the Japanese
economy grew markedly slower during the 1990’s. Japanese banks and financial service companies
encountered problems relating to asset performance during that time. A number of retailers filed for
bankruptcy due to excessive debt and weak profitability as a result of poor domestic consumption. In
addition, a number of banks and financial services companies, as well as several Japanese corporations,
had to restructure their obligations or declare bankruptcy.
In recent years, the Japanese economy has experienced an increase in the inflow of capital, from
both foreign and domestic sources, into failed financial institutions and certain industries that are
currently in the process of consolidation. Investments are expected to assist in the reduction of
unemployment as well as generally improve the weak economic conditions. However, there is no
assurance that this trend will improve conditions in the financial sector or the Japanese economy as a
whole.
There can be no assurance that this recovery will continue and a return to weak economic
conditions could adversely affect the performance of the Routes and the generation of Receivables and
thereby negatively affect the cashflow available to make payments on the Notes.
Natural disasters could affect Korean Air’s business and result in loss of revenue
Any serious disruption at any Korean Air’s customer’s facilities due to hurricane, fire, earthquake,
flood, or any other natural disaster could impair the ability of those customers to use their facilities and,
consequently, potentially reduce the amount of cargo that Korean Air can transport from Japan.
The full effects of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan on Korean Air’s cargo
transportation business in Japan are not yet known. No assurance can be given that such events will not
adversely affect the performance of the Routes, the generation of Receivables and, ultimately, the ability
to make payments on the Notes.
Risk Relating to Korea
The Originator is incorporated in Korea and a substantial part of the Servicer’s operations are
located in Korea. As a result, the Originator, the Servicer and the Bond Issuer are subject to political,
economic, legal and regulatory risks specific to Korea.
52
The legal system in Korea is not as well established or transparent as in the United States or
Western Europe, and in particular the legal rights of creditors or other parties are in many cases not
clear, well established or consistently enforced. In particular, the ABS Act is a relatively new body of
legislation in relation to which Korean judicial consideration has not been given in many cases yet.
Events outside Korea also impact the financial markets and the economy in Korea. Events related
to the terrorist attacks in the United States that took place on 11 September, 2001, recent developments
in the Middle East, including the conflict in Libya and revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt in 2011, higher
oil prices, the worldwide financial market crisis resulting from the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis in
2007, the impact on the Japanese economy of the earthquakes and tsunami that recently occurred in the
northeast part of Japan, the general weakness of the global economy and the outbreak of epidemic
diseases (such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, and the avian flu) in Asia and other parts
of the world have increased the uncertainty of global economic prospects in general and may continue to
adversely affect the Korean economy for some time. Any future deterioration of the Korean and global
economy could adversely affect the Originator’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Developments that could hurt Korea’s economy in the future include:
. continuing difficulties in the housing and financial sectors in the United States and elsewhere
and the resulting adverse effects on the global financial markets;
. financial problems relating to Korean conglomerates known as chaebols, or their suppliers,
and their potential adverse impact on Korea’s financial sector, including as a result of recent
investigations relating to unlawful political contributions and corporate accounting fraud or
irregularities by chaebols;
. loss of investor confidence arising from corporate accounting irregularities and corporate
governance issues of certain chaebols;
. a slowdown in consumer spending and the overall economy;
. an unanticipated deterioration of consumer credit quality;
. failure of restructuring of large troubled companies, including troubled credit card companies
and financial institutions;
. adverse changes or volatility in foreign currency reserve levels, commodity prices (including
oil prices), exchange rates (including depreciation of the U.S. dollar or Japanese yen),
interest rates and stock markets;
. increased reliance on exports to service foreign currency debts, which could cause friction
with Korea’s trading partners;
. adverse developments in the economies of countries such as the United States, China and
Japan to which Korea exports, or in emerging marketing economies in Asia or elsewhere that
could result in a loss of confidence in the Korean economy;
. the economic effects of any pending or future free trade agreements;
. the continued emergence of China, to the extent its benefits (such as increased exports to
China) are outweighed by its costs (such as competition in export markets or for foreign
investment and the relocation of the manufacturing base from Korea to China);
53
. geopolitical uncertainty and risk of further terrorist attacks around the world;
. social and labour unrest or declining consumer confidence or spending resulting from lay-
offs, increasing unemployment and lower levels of income;
. a recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or the widespread outbreak of
any similar contagion, in Asia and other parts of the world;
. a decrease in tax revenues and a substantial increase in the Korean Government’s
expenditures for unemployment compensation and other social programmes that, together,
lead to an increased government budget deficit;
. political uncertainty or increasing strife among or within political parties in Korea;
. a deterioration in economic or diplomatic relations between Korea and its trading partners or
allies, including such deterioration resulting from trade disputes or disagreements in foreign
policy;
. hostilities involving oil producing countries in the Middle East and any material disruption in
the supply of oil or increase in the price of oil resulting from those hostilities;
. an increase in the level of tensions or an outbreak of hostilities between North Korea and
Korea and/or the United States;
. a sharp increase in prices recently, interest rate increases and adverse economic effects
resulting therefrom;
. natural disasters that have a significant adverse economic or other impact on Korea or its
major trading partners, such as the earthquake and tsunami that recently occurred in the
northeast part of Japan and any resulting releases of radiation from damaged nuclear power
plants in the area; and
. difficulties that banks may face with respect to project financing loans for real estate
developments, arising from the downturn in the domestic real estate market.
Any developments that could adversely affect Korea’s economic recovery will likely also to have a
material adverse effect on the Originator’s operations (including its cargo transportation business) and
potentially the generation of Receivables.
Labour unrest may increase if the Korean economy experiences a downturn and may disrupt theoperations of the Servicer and its ability to service the Receivables
A downturn in the Korean economy, as well as the associated increase in the number of corporate
restructurings and bankruptcies, may cause large-scale layoffs and increased unemployment in Korea.
Increased unemployment may lead to social unrest and substantially increase the Government’s
expenditure for unemployment compensation and other costs for social programmes. No assurance can
be given that layoffs will not occur in the near future or that labour unrest will not occur. Increasing
unemployment and continuing labour unrest could disrupt the operations of the Servicer and its ability
to service the Receivables and could affect the cashflow of the Collections and financial matters in
Korea generally. These results would be likely to have an adverse effect on Korean economic conditions
and on the Note Issuer’s ability to make payments due under the Notes.
54
Increased tensions between Korea and North Korea may have a material adverse effect on the marketvalue of the Notes
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 recent years, there have been heightened security concerns stemming from
North Korea’s nuclear weapon and long-range missile programmes and increased uncertainty regarding
North Korea’s actions and possible responses from the international community.
In January 2003, North Korea renounced its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty. Since the renouncement, Korea, the United States, North Korea, China, Japan and Russia have
held numerous rounds of six party multi-lateral talks in an effort to resolve issues relating to North
Korea’s nuclear weapons programme. Despite some signs of progress at various points in time, in April
2009, after launching a long-range rocket over the Pacific Ocean, which led to protests from the
international community, North Korea announced that it would permanently withdraw from the six-party
talks that began in 2003 to discuss Pyongyang’s path to denuclearisation.
From time to time North Korea has conducted test flights of missiles. On 25 May, 2009, North
Korea conducted its second nuclear test and launched several short-range missiles. In response to such
actions, Korea decided to join the Proliferation Security Initiative, an international campaign aimed at
stopping the trafficking of weapons of mass destruction, over Pyongyang’s harsh rebuke and threat of
war. After the United Nations Security Council passed on 12 June, 2009 a resolution to condemn North
Korea’s second nuclear test and impose tougher sanctions such as a mandatory ban on arms exports,
North Korea announced that it would produce nuclear weapons and take ‘‘resolute military actions’’
against the international community.
In March 2010, a Korean warship was destroyed by an underwater explosion, killing many of the
crewmen on board. In May 2010, the Government formally accused North Korea of causing the sinking
and demanded that North Korea apologise for the act and punish those responsible. The Government has
also been seeking international condemnation against North Korea for the act. North Korea has
threatened retaliation for any attempt to punish it over the incident. On 23 November, 2010, North
Korea reportedly fired more than one hundred artillery shells that hit Korea’s Yeonpyeong Island near
the maritime border between Korea and North Korea on the west coast of Korea, killing at least two
Korean soldiers and two civilians, wounding many others and setting civilian houses on fire. Korea
responded by firing artillery shells back, while putting the military on its highest level of alert in the
west coast area. The Government condemned North Korea for the act and vowed stern retaliation should
there be further provocation.
There recently has been increased uncertainty about the future of North Korea’s political leadership
and its implications for the economic and political stability of the region. In June 2009, U.S. and Korean
officials announced that Kim Jong-il, the North Korean ruler who reportedly suffered a stroke in August
2008, designated his third son, Kim Jong-un, who is reportedly in his twenties, to become his successor.
In September 2010, Kim Jong-un was made a Daejang, the equivalent of an American Four-Star General
and was named vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of North Korea. The succession plan,
however, remains uncertain. In addition, North Korea’s economy 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 to severe inflation
and food shortages. Such developments may further aggravate social and political tensions within North
Korea.
55
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. Any further
increase in tension or uncertainty relating to the military or economic stability in the Korean peninsula,
including a breakdown of diplomatic negotiations over the North Korean nuclear programme, the
occurrence of military hostilities or heightened concerns about the stability of North Korea’s political
leadership, could have a material adverse effect on the Korean economy and/or the economies of other
countries in Asia, in general, and the financial condition of the Originator and the Bond Issuer and in
particular the results of their respective operations and also the Obligors’ financial positions. This in
turn could adversely affect the market value of the Notes and the ability of the Note Issuer to make
payments under the Notes promptly when due, if at all.
Other Risks
The Bond Issuer has no operating history
The Bond Issuer is a newly-formed entity and has no operating history and no material assets other
than the Investor Beneficial Interest. The Bond Issuer will not engage in any business activity other than
the issuance of the Bond, certain activities conducted in connection with the payment of amounts in
respect of the Bond and other activities incidental or related to the foregoing. Income derived from the
Investor Beneficial Interest will be the Bond Issuer’s principal source of funds.
Limited recourse obligations of the Bond Issuer
The Bond Conditions will provide that recourse against the Bond Issuer in relation to its
obligations under the Bond and all other obligations under the Transaction Documents will be limited to
amounts from time to time available for such obligations in accordance with the Transaction
Administration Agreement. If such amounts are insufficient to pay in full all amounts due under the
Bond after payment of all amounts having priority over the Bond, the Note Issuer will have no further
claim against the Bond Issuer in respect of any unpaid amounts and the liability of the Bond Issuer with
respect to such unpaid amounts shall be extinguished.
None of the equityholders, officers, directors or incorporators of the Bond Issuer, the Joint
Arrangers, the Japanese Trustee, the Transaction Administrator, the Swap Provider and the Security
Agent, any of their respective Affiliates or any other person or entity (other than the Bond Issuer) will
be obligated to make payments on the Bond. In the absence of the Credit Facility, the Note Issuer must
rely on payments received in respect of the Bond for the payment of interest on and principal of the
Notes and no assurance can be given that such payments will be sufficient to pay all amounts due on the
Notes.
Transfers of the Bond prohibited in certain circumstances
Under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act and the Regulations on Issuance,
Public Disclosure, etc. of Securities, a transfer of the Bond by the Note Issuer to a Korean Resident (as
such term is defined in the Foreign Exchange Transaction Law of Korea, currently an individual who
has an address or a place of residence in Korea or a legal entity which has its main office in Korea)
within one year of the date of its issuance would necessitate a filing by the Bond Issuer with the
Financial Services Commission of Korea. If the Bond Issuer breaches such prohibition, it may be subject
to sanctions by the Financial Services Commission of Korea. Each of the Note Issuer and the Note
Trustee have covenanted in the Bond Subscription and Agency Agreement and the Note Trust Deed that
it will not transfer the Bond to a Korean Resident within one year of the Closing Date unless permitted
by Korean Law at the relevant time. This may restrict the actions which the Note Trustee may take upon
enforcement of the Note Security.
56
Withholding Taxes under the Bond
All payments in respect of the Bond will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or
deduction for, any present or future Taxes (including Taxes imposed by Korea or Japan), unless such
withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Bond Issuer is obliged to gross up and
otherwise compensate the Bondholder for the lesser amounts that the Bondholder will receive as a result
of the imposition of such Taxes. Income derived from the Investor Beneficial Interest will be the Bond
Issuer’s only source of funds. No assurance can be given that such funds will be sufficient to enable the
Bond Issuer to make such gross-up or compensation payments in full or at all. To the extent that the
Bond Issuer fails to gross up, in part or at all, the Note Issuer will be able to make a drawing under the
Credit Facility to the extent of such shortfall up to the Commitment Amount.
Forward-looking statements are mere reflections of current expectations and are not meant to beguarantees
Included in this Prospectus are various forward-looking statements, including statements regarding
the Bond Issuer’s, the Note Issuer’s and the Trustor’s expectations and projections for future operating
performance and business prospects. The words ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘estimate’’,
‘‘project’’ and similar words identify forward-looking statements. In addition, all statements other than
statements of historical facts included in this Prospectus are forward-looking statements. These
statements are forward-looking and reflect current expectations of the relevant party. Although such
parties believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they can
give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. They are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties, including changes in the economic and political environments in Korea. In light of the
many risks and uncertainties surrounding Korea, investors should keep in mind that such parties cannot
guarantee that the forward-looking statements described in this Prospectus will prove to be correct. All
subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to such companies or persons acting
on behalf of such companies are expressly qualified in their entirety by the reference to these risks.
Certain significant differences exist between Korean GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS which might bematerial to the financial information presented in this Prospectus
The audited financial information included in this Prospectus was prepared and is presented in
accordance with Korean GAAP. Significant differences exist between Korean GAAP, US GAAP and
IFRS which might be material to the financial information herein. For example, equity in earnings of
equity method accounted investees, constitutes 15% of Korean Air’s income before income taxes for the
year ended 31 December, 2010. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
Republic of Korea, Korean Air records such earnings based on limited unaudited financial information
obtained from the investee. The procedures the auditors performed in accordance with Korean auditing
standards with respect to such unaudited financial information of the investee are primarily limited to
analytical procedures and making inquires of the Korean Air because the auditors are not the auditors of
the investees and do not have access to the investees’ financial records or management. These
accounting and auditing practices may be substantially less in scope than generally accepted practices in
other jurisdictions.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely upon their own examination of Korean Air,
the Credit Facility Provider, the terms of this offering and the financial information included in this
Prospectus. Investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the
differences between Korean GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS and how those differences might affect the
financial information included herein.
57
USE OF PROCEEDS
The gross proceeds of the issue of the Notes (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be equal to
the net proceeds), amounting to ¥20,000,000,000, will be applied by the Note Issuer on the Closing Date
in subscribing for the Bond from the Bond Issuer. All fees, commissions and expenses of the Joint
Arrangers and all other initial transaction costs, will be paid separately by the Trustor.
58
RATING OF THE NOTES
The Entrusted Assets and the arrangements for the protection of the Noteholders in the light of the
risks involved have been reviewed by the Rating Agency. It is a condition of the issuance of the Notes
that the Notes are assigned a rating of not less than ‘‘A1 (sf)’’ by the Rating Agency.
A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, does not address the likelihood or
timing of prepayment, if any, or the receipt of default interest and may be subject to revision,
qualification or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organisation.
The credit rating of the Notes included or referred to in this Prospectus will be treated for the
purposes of Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies (the ‘‘CRA Regulation’’) as
having been issued by the Rating Agency upon registration pursuant to the CRA Regulation. The EU-
based offices of the Rating Agency are established in the European Union and have applied to be
registered under the CRA Regulation although the result of such application has not yet been
determined.
59

Capitalised terms used in these terms and conditions of the Notes (the ‘‘Note Conditions’’) and not
otherwise defined herein bear the meaning ascribed to them in the Master Definitions Schedule.
The holders shown in the records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg of book-entry
interests in the Notes are entitled to the benefit of, are bound by, and are deemed to have notice of, all
the provisions of the Note Trust Deed, the Note Agency Agreement and other Transaction Documents
applicable to them.
1. Form, Denomination and Title
(a) Form: The Notes are in fully registered form and will be evidenced by either certificates in
global form (‘‘Global Note Certificates’’) or certificates in definitive form (‘‘Definitive NoteCertificates’’) (each a ‘‘Note Certificate’’) in substantially the forms contained in the Note
Trust Deed. Notwithstanding any other provision herein contained, so long as any of the
Notes are evidenced by Global Note Certificates, each holder of a beneficial interest in such
Notes will be bound by, and will be deemed to have agreed to, the rules and procedures of
the clearing system through which transfers of, and payments of principal of, interest on or
other payments (if any) in respect of, such Notes are made.
(b) Title: Title to the Notes will pass by registration of the interest of the transferee in the
register (the ‘‘Note Register’’) which the Note Issuer will procure to be kept by the Note
Registrar. In these Note Conditions, the ‘‘Holder’’ of a Note means the person in whose
name such Note is for the time being registered in the Note Register (or, in the case of a joint
60
holding, the first named thereof) and ‘‘Noteholder’’ will be construed accordingly. Whilst the
Notes are held in global form, the registered owner of the Notes shall be The Bank of New
York Depository (Nominees) Limited as common depositary (the ‘‘Common Depositary’’)for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Holder of such Note shall be the person
in whose name such Note is for the time being registered in the Note Register. The Holder of
each Note will (except as otherwise required by law) be treated as the absolute owner of such
Note for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership,
trust or any other interest therein, any writing on the Note Certificate relating thereto (other
than the endorsed form of transfer) or any notice of any previous loss or theft of such Note
Certificate) and no person will be liable for so treating such Holder.
(c) Denominations: The denomination of the Notes is ¥20,000,000 and integral multiples of
¥10,000,000 thereafter.
(d) Transfers: Transfers of interests in the Notes may only be made in accordance with the
legend set forth on the face of the relative Note Certificate. Subject to paragraph (g) below, a
Note may be transferred upon surrender of the relevant Note Certificate, with the form of
transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed, at the Specified Office of the Note
Registrar or any Transfer Agent, together with such evidence as the Note Registrar or (as the
case may be) such Transfer Agent may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor
and the authority of the individuals who have executed the form of transfer. The Note
Registrar will register the transfer in question and a new Note Certificate will be issued to the
transferee. In the case of a transfer of part only of the Notes evidenced by a Note Certificate,
the original principal amount of both the part transferred and the balance not transferred must
be of authorised denominations, and a new Note Certificate in respect of the balance not
transferred will be issued to the transferor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any
Notes are evidenced by Global Note Certificates, transfers of beneficial interests therein will
be made in accordance with the rules of the relevant clearing system as from time to time in
effect. All transfers of Notes and entries on the Note Register are subject to the detailed
regulations concerning the transfer of Notes scheduled to the Note Agency Agreement. The
Note Issuer may amend such regulations with the approval of the Paying Agents, the Transfer
Agents, the Note Registrar and the Note Trustee. No transfer of Notes will be effective unless
and until entered on the Note Register.
(e) Delivery of Note Certificates: Each new Note Certificate to be issued upon a transfer of
Notes will, within seven business days of receipt by the Note Registrar of the form of
transfer, be mailed by uninsured mail at the risk of the Holder entitled to the Notes to the
address specified in the form of transfer. Where only some of the Notes in respect of which a
Note Certificate is issued are to be transferred or redeemed, a new Note Certificate in respect
of the Notes not so transferred or redeemed will, within seven business days of deposit or
surrender of the original Note Certificate with or to the Note Registrar, be mailed by
uninsured mail at the risk of the Holder of the Notes not so transferred or redeemed to the
address of such Holder appearing on the Note Register. For the purposes of this Note
Condition 1, ‘‘business day’’ means any day on which banks are open for business in the
place of the Specified Office of the Note Registrar.
(f) Registration of Note Certificates: Registration of a transfer of Notes will be effected
without charge by or on behalf of the Note Issuer or the Note Registrar, but upon payment
(or the giving of such indemnity as the Note Issuer or the Note Registrar may reasonably
require) in respect of any tax or other governmental charges which may be imposed in
relation to it.
61
(g) Closed Period: No Noteholder may require the transfer of a Note to be registered during the
period of 15 days ending on the due date for any payment of any amount on the Notes.
(h) Regulations Concerning Transfers and Registration: All transfers of Notes and entries on
the Note Register will be made in accordance with the provisions of the Note Agency
Agreement.
(i) Charges on New Note Certificates: The issue of new Note Certificates on transfer will be
effected without charge by the Note Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Transfer Agents but
otherwise at the cost of the transferees who will pay (or give such indemnity as the Note
Registrar or relevant Transfer Agent may require in connection with such transfers) any tax
or other duty or whatever nature which may be levied or imposed in connection with such
transfers.
2. Status and Security
(a) Status: The Notes constitute direct, general, limited recourse, unconditional and
unsubordinated obligations of the Note Issuer, secured in accordance with the provisions of
the Note Trust Deed, as described in paragraph (b) below. The Notes will at all times rank
pari passu among themselves and at least pari passu with all other present and future, direct,
general, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Note Issuer, save for such
obligations as may be preferred by provisions of law that are both mandatory and of general
application.
(b) Security: The obligations of the Note Issuer to the Noteholders under the Notes are secured
by the Note Security (as defined below) pursuant to the provisions of the Note Trust Deed.
Under the Note Trust Deed, the Note Issuer has granted in favour of the Note Trustee:
(i) an absolute assignment by way of first fixed security of all its rights, title, interest and
benefit (present and future, actual and contingent) in, to and under each Transaction
Document to which it is a party, including in each case, without limitation, all its rights
to receive payment of any amounts which may become payable to the Note Issuer
thereunder, its security interest in the Bond Secured Property and all payments received
by the Note Issuer thereunder, all rights to serve notices and/or make demands
thereunder and/or to take such action as is required to cause payments to become due
and payable thereunder, all rights of action in respect of any breach thereof, and all
rights to claim and receive damages or obtain other relief in respect thereof;
(ii) a charge by way of first fixed charge of all its rights, title, interest and benefit (present
and future, actual and contingent) in, to and under all sums of money which may now
be or hereafter are from time to time standing to the credit of the Note Issuer Account
and any other bank account (other than the bank account referred to in paragraph (iv)
below) in which the Note Issuer may at any time acquire any right, title or interest or
benefit, together with all interest accruing from time to time thereon and the debts
represented thereby;
(iii) an absolute assignment by way of first fixed security of all its rights, title, interest and
benefit (present and future, actual and contingent) in, to and under the Bond and all
other contracts, deeds and documents, present and future, to which the Note Issuer is or
may become a party;
62
(iv) a charge by way of first fixed charge of all its rights, title, interest and benefit (present
and future, actual and contingent) in and to all other assets and property that it has
acquired or may acquire (other than the proceeds of the Note Issuer’s share capital, the
U.S.$250 transaction fee and the bank account where such amounts are deposited); and
(v) a charge by way of first floating charge of the whole of its undertaking and all of its
property and assets, whatsoever and wheresoever situate, present and future (other than
the proceeds of the Note Issuer’s share capital, the U.S.$250 transaction fee and the
bank account where such amounts are deposited) to the extent not otherwise effectively
charged by way of fixed charge or otherwise effectively assigned as security under this
Note Condition 2(b).
The Note Trustee (in its capacity as trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and not in its
individual capacity), the Noteholders, the Note Agents, the Note Issuer Administrator, the Account
Bank, the Swap Provider and the Credit Facility Provider (together, the ‘‘Note Secured Parties’’)have, through the Note Trustee, the benefit of the above described security interests (the ‘‘NoteSecured Property’’) to secure sums due to each of them pursuant to the Notes and the Note
Transaction Documents to which they are a party.
The Note Secured Parties have the benefit of the security (the ‘‘Note Security’’) given by the
Note Issuer to the Note Trustee pursuant to the Note Trust Deed.
(c) Assumption: The Note Trustee will be entitled to assume (without enquiry), for the purpose
of exercising any power, trust, authority, duty or discretion under or in relation to these Note
Conditions or any of the Transaction Documents, that such exercise will not be materially
prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders if the Rating Agency has confirmed that its
then current rating of the Notes would not be adversely affected by such exercise and if the
Controlling Beneficiary has consented to such exercise in writing.
3. Interest
(a) Accrual of Interest: The Notes will bear interest from and including the Closing Date to
(but excluding) the earlier to occur of (i) the Note Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which
the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes is zero in accordance with this Note
Condition 3. Interest will cease to accrue on each Note from the due date for redemption
thereof unless, upon due presentation of such Note, payment of principal is improperly
withheld or refused or default is otherwise made in payment thereof. In such event, interest
will continue to accrue in accordance with this Note Condition 3 (as well after as before
judgment) up to, but excluding, the date on which, upon further presentation thereof,
payment in full of the relevant amount is made or (if earlier) the seventh day after the date
upon which notice is duly given to the Holder of such Note (in accordance with Note
Condition 15) that, upon further presentation thereof being duly made, such payment will be
made; provided that such payment is in fact made.
(b) Note Payment Dates and Interest Periods: Interest will be payable on the Notes monthly in
arrear on the 27th day of each month (each, a ‘‘Note Payment Date’’) commencing on 27
May, 2011. If a payment is due on a day which is not a Business Day in Dublin, London,
Hong Kong and Tokyo, such payment will be made on the next succeeding day which is a
Business Day in such locations unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which
case the first preceding day which is a Business Day. Interest on the Notes will be payable
by reference to successive interest periods (each, an ‘‘Interest Period’’). The initial Interest
Period will commence on (and include) the Closing Date and end on (but exclude) the initial
63
Note Payment Date. Each successive Interest Period will commence on and include a Note
Payment Date and end on (but exclude) the next succeeding Note Payment Date. A
‘‘Business Day’’ means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks
and foreign exchange markets settle payments are open for general business in one or more
specified locations.
(c) Note Rate of Interest: The rate of interest (the ‘‘Note Rate of Interest’’) payable in respect
of the Notes in respect of an Interest Period will be the sum of:
(i) (x) prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement, the Floating Rate Option (as
defined in the Swap Agreement) in respect of the relevant Interest Period as
determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined in the Swap Agreement) in
accordance with the provisions of the Swap Agreement; or
(y) after the termination of the Swap Agreement, 1 month JPY-LIBOR-BBA (as
defined in the Master Definitions Schedule) in respect of the relevant Interest
Period as determined by the Note Trustee in accordance with the Note Trust Deed;
and
(ii) a margin of 1.20 per cent. per annum.
The JPY-LIBOR-BBA in respect of the first Interest Period will be determined by way of a
linear interpolation of the 1 month JPY-LIBOR-BBA and the 2 month JPY-LIBOR-BBA by the
Calculation Agent in accordance with the Swap Agreement.
(d) Determination of Interest Amounts: The Reference Agent will, as soon as practicable after
the Interest Determination Date in relation to each Interest Period, calculate the amount of
interest (the ‘‘Note Interest Amount’’) payable in respect of each Note for such Interest
Period. The Note Interest Amount will be calculated by applying the Note Rate of Interest for
such Interest Period to the Principal Amount Outstanding of such Note as at the first day of
such Interest Period (after giving effect to any payment of principal of such Note made on

THE RECEIVABLES
Overview
Korean Air is a participant in the cargo accounts settlement system operated by IATA in Japan
(‘‘CASS Japan’’). IATA has appointed approximately 131 cargo agents in Japan on behalf of the
airlines participating in CASS Japan pursuant to standard agreements published by IATA for the benefit
of its participating airlines and agents (the ‘‘IATA Agency Agreements’’). Each agent participates in
CASS Japan and is regulated by IATA. See ‘‘— IATA Agents’’ below for information on IATA and the
selection and appointment of cargo agents generally.
Korean Air has appointed approximately 85 of the cargo agents accredited by IATA and
participating in CASS Japan, to act as its agents for the operation of its cargo business in Japan (each,
an ‘‘IATA Agent’’). On the Entrustment Date, the Trustor will entrust to the Japanese Trustee all of its
rights, title, interest and benefit (present and future, actual and contingent) in, to and under any and all
receivables existing as of 8:00 a.m. (Tokyo time) one Tokyo Business Day prior to the Entrustment
Date and all future receivables arising thereafter (together, the ‘‘Receivables’’) which are owed to the
Trustor from time to time by:
(a) the IATA Agents pursuant to the IATA Agency Agreements (the ‘‘IATA AgencyReceivables’’);
(b) Citibank Japan Ltd. as successor to Citibank, N.A., Tokyo Branch (the ‘‘CASS Bank’’)pursuant to an agreement dated 1 August, 2002 (the ‘‘CASS Bank Agreement’’) between
IATA (on behalf of the Trustor and other participating airlines) and the CASS Bank (the
‘‘CASS Bank Receivables’’); and
(c) IATA pursuant to the IATA Agreements and the resolutions adopted from time to time by the
permanent conference of members of IATA governing the relationships between the IATA
Agents and the airlines participating in CASS Japan.
The Trustor will not entrust receivables generated from direct sales by Korean Air of cargo
transportation in Japan. The IATA Agency Receivables and the CASS Bank Receivables are more
particularly described below.
IATA Agency Receivables
Generation of IATA Agency Receivables
The IATA Agency Receivables arise from indirect sales (as defined below) by the IATA Agents on
behalf of Korean Air of Outbound Cargo/Prepaid (each as defined below) and from the collection of
payments on behalf of Korean Air from consignees in respect of Inbound Cargo/Charge Collect (each as
defined below), which are settled through CASS Japan after deduction of certain commissions and taxes
(as described below).
IATA Agents sell cargo transportation on behalf of Korean Air to customers shipping cargo from
Japan (‘‘Outbound Cargo’’). The IATA Agents also collect payments on behalf of Korean Air from
consignees for shipments to Japan (‘‘Inbound Cargo’’). Payment for cargo transportation may be
prepaid by the shipper prior to the shipment (‘‘Prepaid’’) or paid by the consignee upon delivery of the
cargo (‘‘Charge Collect’’). Outbound Cargo/Charge Collect and Inbound Cargo/Prepaid generate
receivables outside Japan and those receivables do not form part of this transaction. The majority of
78
sales of cargo transportation by IATA Agents on behalf of Korean Air (‘‘indirect sales’’) are sales of
Outbound Cargo/Prepaid, and indirect sales have historically represented more than 99 per cent. of
Korean Air’s total cargo sales in Japan.
Outbound Cargo/Prepaid constitutes 99.7 per cent. of Korean Air’s total indirect sales in Japan. As
Charge Collect payments are subject to an additional fee of approximately 5 per cent., the majority of
Korean Air’s cargo shippers in Japan prepay for Outbound Cargo. In addition, consolidated shipments
from Japan of Outbound Cargo from multiple shippers are required to be Prepaid, which are estimated at
approximately 90 per cent. of Japan-sourced cargo traffic.
Korean Air does not sell Outbound Cargo transportation directly to customers and no direct sales
of Inbound Cargo by Korean Air are made.
Charges and Commissions
The charges to shippers or consignees for cargo transportation are negotiated and agreed from time
to time between Korean Air and each IATA Agent. The charges for a shipment are calculated by the
IATA Agent and entered onto a document bearing the unique identifying code of Korean Air and which
evidences the contract between the shipper and Korean Air for the carriage of goods (an ‘‘AirWaybill’’). Additional surcharges, such as fuel surcharges or Charge Collect surcharges, are also
included on the Air Waybill and the total amount is either Prepaid by the shipper or settled Charge
Collect by the consignee against delivery of the cargo. Each Air Waybill is signed by the shipper, or its
agent, the IATA Agent and Korean Air.
The IATA Agents have primary responsibility for the aggregate charges on the Air Waybill when
uploaded to the Korea Air e-office and are obliged to settle the payments through CASS Japan
notwithstanding non-payment by the shipper or consignee.
Prior to settling the charges on each Air Waybill through CASS Japan, each IATA Agent is
entitled to deduct all agreed commissions and taxes. No further commission is payable by Korean Air to
any IATA Agent on an individual basis following receipt of the payment from such IATA Agent by
Korean Air.
CASS Bank Receivables
In addition to the IATA Agency Receivables, Korean Air will entrust to the Japanese Trustee on
the Entrustment Date the CASS Bank Receivables.
Pursuant to the provisions of the CASS Bank Agreement, the CASS Bank will electronically
transfer to Korean Air on each specified remittance date (which will be within one business day after the
payment by the IATA Agents to the CASS Bank) the amounts due to Korean Air. The payments settled
by the IATA Agents through the CASS Bank will, in the absence of payment default, correspond with
the amounts payable to Korean Air.
From the Closing Date, the CASS Bank will be obliged to make all payments in respect of the
CASS Bank Receivables to the Collection Account of the Japanese Trustee until the termination of the
Japanese Trust.
79
IATA Agents
IATA is a non-profit trade association originally established in Havana, Cuba in 1945 and later
incorporated in Montreal, Canada by Special Act of Parliament. It is the successor to the International
Air Traffic Association founded in The Hague in 1919. Its purpose is to promote and facilitate inter-
airline cooperation in air services. As of 1 March, 2011, it had approximately 230 participating airline
members.
IATA currently has approximately 131 cargo agents operating in Japan. In order to qualify as an
IATA Agent, a prospective agent must have ¥50 million capital, comply with various other financial
tests (in certain circumstances) and must employ at least two qualified staff and a minimum of 15
employees. The prospective agent is required to submit application documentation to IATA and an
IATA manager will undertake a financial and physical inspection of the finances and premises of the
prospective agent. A bank guarantee (minimum ¥50 million) is required for all IATA Agents. Agents
which are persistently late settling payments through CASS Japan are issued with an irregularity notice
by IATA and are removed if they receive four such notices. IATA makes inspections of the finances and
physical premises of the cargo agents from time to time.
Settlement
Outbound Cargo/Prepaid
Step 1
Korean Air outbound cargo transportation services are purchased from IATA Agents by customers
paying either in cash and/or by cheque.
80
Step 2
An Air Waybill evidencing the terms of the shipment is completed by the IATA Agent on behalf
of Korean Air and signed by Korean Air, the IATA Agent and the shipper.
Step 3
When an Air Waybill is issued, details of the Air Waybill are uploaded within one day by Koran
Air staff to the Korean Air e-office, a proprietary system of Korean Air. Monthly sales of Korean Air
cargo transportation services by IATA Agents are divided into two sales period (each, a ‘‘cargo salesperiod’’) for each month: the first cargo sales period commences on the 1st day of such month and ends
approximately on the 15th day of such month and the second cargo sales period commences
approximately on the 16th day of such month and ends approximately on the last day of such month. In
October of each year, CASS Japan issues a calendar of the exact dates that will apply during the
following calendar year.
Step 4
Approximately seven days after the end of each cargo sales period, Korean Air uploads to the
CASS-Link a bi-weekly cargo sales report reflecting sales of Korean Air cargo services in such cargo
sales period as uploaded to the Korean Air e-office by the IATA Agents.
Step 5
Based on the sales reports received from Korean Air, CASS-Link reformats the sales data and
prepares bi-weekly cargo sales invoices in respect of each cargo sales period and sends to both Korean
Air and the IATA Agents within ten days after completion of Step 4. In the event that Korean Air or an
IATA Agent disputes a cargo sales invoice, any adjustments are made in the next cargo sales invoice.
Step 6
IATA Agents are required to settle invoices by remitting the relevant amounts to the CASS Bank
within ten days of the completion of Step 5. If a payment is due on a day which is not a Tokyo Business
Day, such payment will be made on the next succeeding Tokyo Business Day.
Step 7
The CASS Bank remits the payments made by the IATA Agents under the invoices to Korean Air
no later than one Tokyo Business Day after receipt from the IATA Agents. Following the entrustment of
the Receivables to the Japanese Trustee on the Closing Date, the CASS Bank will remit all such
amounts to the Collection Account held by the Japanese Trustee.
Inbound Cargo/Charge Collect
The settlement timeline for Inbound Cargo/Charge Collect is essentially the same as for Outbound
Cargo/Prepaid. A Receivable arises when the details of the Air Waybill are uploaded to the Korean Air
e-office by the IATA Agent and the uploading of this information obliges the relevant IATA Agent to
settle the required payment through CASS Japan irrespective of whether the consignee has paid the
IATA Agent or taken delivery of the shipment. The payment sequence then follows Steps 3–7 described
above.
81
Dilution
Korean Air settles all refunds for lost or damaged goods, late delivery or overpayment through
CASS Japan. Adjustments for refunds are made in the next cargo sales report and the relevant IATA
Agent will refund the customer directly.

THE TRUSTOR AND SERVICER
General
Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd (‘‘Korean Air’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated by the
Government on 19 June, 1962 under the name Korean National Airline Corporation. The Company was
listed on the Korean Stock Exchange through an initial public offering of 400,000 shares on 18 March,
1966 before being sold to the Hanjin Group (the ‘‘Group’’), whose core business is transportation.
Korean Air is the largest company within the Group measured in terms of assets. Excluding guarantees
arising from previous financing transactions, Korean Air and the other Group companies have each
managed their financial affairs independently since the Asian financial crisis of 1997. Korean Air is
listed on the Korean Stock Exchange and its most recent annual reports are available on its internet
website: www.koreanair.com. Investors in the Company include domestic and foreign individuals as well
as institutions.
As of the end of December 2010, Korean Air had a fleet of 128 aircraft, with passenger and cargo
routes to 113 cities in 39 countries. According to IATA, Korean Air is one of the world’s top 20
international airlines in terms of revenue passenger-kilometres on scheduled flights and the largest
international cargo airline in terms of scheduled freight tonne-kilometres in 2009. The Company
generates revenues primarily through passenger business and cargo business, which together constituted
approximately 89.83 per cent. of its total sales volume between 1 January, 2010 and 31 December,
2010. The Company’s other businesses include aerospace business, catering business, hotel/limousines
business, and in-flight sales.
The Company’s headquarters and registered office are at 1370 Gonghang-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul,
Korea 157–721. Korean Air does not currently have an international credit rating.
Group Organisation
The Group was set up by Mr. Choong Hoon Cho in 1945. The Group’s core business is land, sea
and air transportation and currently consists of 40 domestically incorporated companies, of which five
are publicly listed on the Korea Stock Exchange. The Group also has significant overseas operations and
as of April 2011 had a total of 53 overseas subsidiaries.
Hanjin Group reorganised its entities and completed the separation of its non logistics business
from the Group in 2005. As a result, Hanjin Group consists of two major business units: air
transportation and shipping. Financial services and the shipbuilding and construction businesses (i.e.
Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction, Meritz Securities and Oriental Fire & Marine Insurance)
became independent from the Group with no significant cross shareholding or interests although some
companies still bear the name of Hanjin. Korean Air and its affiliates are core entities of Hanjin Group,
representing 56 per cent. in terms of total assets as at 31 December, 2009 and 51 per cent. in terms of
revenue for the year ended 31 December, 2009.
After the completion of the reorganisation, Hanjin Group ranked 9th among Korean Chaebols in
terms of combined assets at the end of 2009.
The two major business units and responsible CEOs are as shown in the table below. Mr. Y.H.
Cho has been the Chairman of the aviation group since 1999. Mr. Y.H. Cho succeeded as the Group
Chairman in February 2003 after the founder Mr. C.H. Cho passed away in November 2002.

Employees and Labour Relations
As at 31 December, 2010, Korean Air had approximately 18,000 employees, including 5,801 pilots
and flight attendants.
Korean Air has two labour unions: a pilots union, Korean Air Flight Crew Union (‘‘FCU’’) and a
union for non-pilot staff, Korean Air Labour Union (‘‘KALU’’). Among the current employees of
Korean Air, approximately 55 per cent. are KALU members and approximately 10 per cent. are FCU
members. Both unions have the right to negotiate salary and employee welfare related matters with the
management. The salary agreements between the unions and the Company generally last for one year,
with effect from 1 April each year, and the collective agreements, which generally cover other welfare
matters of the employees such as working hours and working environment, usually last for two years.
FCU has had disagreements with management over flight allowances, working hours and
conditions and called a four-day strike in December, 2005. Korean Air and FCU settled the issues and
established a Flight Operations Regulation Enactment Board which gives FCU the right to decide the
86
regulations for new flights. The strike held in December 2005 cost Korean Air approximately KRW8
billion. Korean Air has now implemented a profit sharing system for all staff. Except for the strike in
2005, KALU and FCU have maintained good relationships with Korean Air management.

Funding and Long-Term Liabilities
Korean Air funds its aircraft acquisition either through foreign export credit agencies (including
the Export-Import Bank of the United States, COFACE of France, Hermes Kreditversicherung-AG of
Germany, and Export Credit Guarantee Department of the United Kingdom) or other global and
domestic financial institutions.
The Korea Development Bank (‘‘KDB’’) is Korean Air’s main creditor bank in respect of secured
lending, including mortgages and aircraft leases. Operational funds have recently been, and the
Company believes will continue to be in the foreseeable future, obtained through the Korean bond and
commercial paper markets.
A substantial portion of the Company’s property, aircraft and equipment has been pledged as
collateral for long-term debt. In addition, a certain portion of long-term debt is guaranteed by Group
affiliates.
As of 31 December, 2010, the Company’s aggregate amount of asset-backed securities was
KRW1,031.2 billion compared with KRW528.5 billion as of 31 December, 2009.
Pursuant to certain guidelines on the rationalisation of the Korean marine industry and the
shipbuilding industry, the Company has assumed certain fixed and suspended liabilities and assets of
Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd. (‘‘Hanjin Shipping’’) and Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co., Ltd.
(‘‘HHIC’’). As of 31 December, 2010, the aggregate amount of debt assumed from Hanjin Shipping in
equal instalments over 20 years (with a five year grace period) and to be repaid from 2003 to 2017 is
KRW53.1 billion.
Group Guarantees
As of 31 December, 2010, Korean Air had approximately KRW119.6 billion and U.S.$79.3 million
exposure under financial guarantees to Group affiliates, compared with KRW137.0 billion and
U.S.$430.5 million at the end of 2009.
87
Since 1998, Korean Air has not provided guarantees for new transactions, has reduced the balances
of existing guarantees (other than extensions) and maintained a guarantee to equity ratio of below 100
per cent.

of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (‘‘MLTM’’) and is governed by the Aviation Law of the
Republic of Korea. The aviation industry is also subject to the Convention on International Civil
Aviation. Regulations issued or implemented by the MLTM encompass virtually every aspect of airline
operations, including the approval of the establishment of airlines, domestic and international route
allocations, licensing of pilots, operational safety standards, aircraft acquisitions, aircraft airworthiness
certification, aircraft registration standards, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control and standards for
airport operations.
The main goal of the MLTM is to prepare a foundation that will allow safe and convenient air
travel and at the same time enhance Korea’s aviation industry so as to become a leading aviation country
of the 21st century. The MLTM is planning to conclude strategic air services liberalisation agreements
with major countries e.g. China and Japan and to continue route expansion to support expansion of the
national carriers. It also aims to take on a greater role in the air transport community through active
cooperation with International Civil Aviation Organisation as well as with other countries throughout the
world.

Description of Fleet
As of 31 December, 2010, Korean Air had a total of 128 aircraft, of which 104 are passenger
aircraft and 24 are cargo aircraft. The average age of Korean Air’s fleet was 10.3 years. The average age
of the passenger and cargo fleet was 10.0 years and 11.5 years, respectively. Based on its fleet
modernisation plan, Korean Air will take delivery of new aircraft from Boeing and Airbus over the next
several years. Korean Air is the first Asian airline to acquire Boeing’s B747-8. The B747-8 will be
delivered between 2013 and 2015. The Company has already placed an order for the B747-8 cargo
aircraft. In addition to the five B747-8I passenger aircraft that have already been ordered, a total of 12
B747-8 next generation aircraft are expected to be added to the fleet. In addition, the ten A380 aircraft
to be delivered between 2011 and 2014 are next generation eco-friendly high-tech aircraft that consume
less fuel, with a noise level and exhaust gases emission lower compared to other large aircraft. The
A380s will be assigned to long-haul routes with high demand, such as Los Angeles and New York. The
new aircraft such as A380 and B747-8F will be delivered from 2011, whereas the A300-600 aircraft will
reach the end of their 20-years term of usage from 2011 and thus are under consideration to be replaced
by other types of aircraft. In relation to its freighters, Korean Air leased out a A300-600F to Uzbekistan
Airways. Korean Air has completed the conversion of eight older B747-400 passenger aircraft to
freighters. Currently, Korean Air only operates a single type of freighter — B747-400F. However, by
2016, it will have new generation aircraft, such as B747-8F and B777F, in its cargo fleet.

Flight Safety
Korean Air completed its eleventh consecutive accident-free year of operation in 2010. Safety has
always been a top priority and core value in Korean Air and Korean Air will continuously strive to
improve operational safety and to be known as one of the world’s safest airlines.
In support of this, Korean Air has established the integrated Safety Management IT System named
‘‘SafeNet’’, and that system was launched in October 2009. Through this system Korean Air established
company-wide standardisation of safety data management by (a) encouraging active safety reporting by
all employees, (b) identifying, analysing and correcting any safety hazard before it becomes an issue, (c)
accumulating and utilising safety data. In support of the new Safety Management IT System
environment at Korean Air, the Safety, Security and Compliance Department will:
. continue to provide Korean Air with an invaluable source of expertise in the fields of safety,
security and quality assurance;
. anticipate and identify systemic trends and coordinate/suggest appropriate, scientifically-
based countermeasures targeted at mitigating human errors and wherever possible eliminating
these errors; and
. ensure that positive management control exists over of all critical processes (i.e., those
processes relevant to the safety, quality and security of Korean Air products & services) —
including a well-designed system of procedural controls.
Korean Air also introduced the Human Factors Analysis & Classification System (HFACS),
developed by US experts in 2000, to efficiently manage human-incurred errors that cause 70 per cent. of
flight safety issues. HFAC is a model which classifies human errors into four categories and Korean Air
uses this model to find and analyse the fundamental reasons for non-conforming or safety issues for
employees in quality control and safety and security related departments.
In January 2005, Korean Air became the first carrier in Korea and among the SkyTeam member
airlines to obtain an IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certificate which is known as an
internationally recognised aviation safety certification authorised by IATA. In September 2006, Korean
Air received a first renewal audit for the IOSA certification, which is effective for two years, and passed
the comprehensive audit without a single adverse finding documented in 758 check items in eight
operational disciplines. The eight areas of IOSA Audit are Organization and Management System, Flight
Operations, Operational Control and Flight Dispatch, Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance, Cabin
Operations, Aircraft Ground Handling, Cargo Operations and Operational Security. In September 2008,
Korean Air received the second renewal audit and passed without a single adverse finding documented
in 914 check items in the eight operational disciplines described above. This audit was conducted
through a documentation audit to verify whether or not the IOSA’s criteria are reflected in Korean Air’s
policies, processes and procedures and through an implementation audit to check whether or not Korean
Air has adhered to such policies, processes and procedures. The audit has been conducted based on the
2nd edition of IOSA Standards Manual, which was more comprehensive and in-depth than before,
following IOSA’s continuous improvement of its standards that are regularly updated and amended to
implement a more strict set of minimum guidelines for the airlines industry, which was more
comprehensive and in-depth than before. In September 2010, Korean Air received the third renewal
audit and passed without a single adverse finding again.
In addition, to strengthening flight safety, Korean Air’s FOQA (Flight Operational Quality
Assurance) animation programme has been up-graded and FOQA irregularities intensively controlled.
This animation programme provides realistic displays by using high-resolution satellite airport
90
photographs and topographical maps. This programme enables realistic safety management. In October
2010, Korean Air introduced a new FOQA system to prepare FOQA analysis capability for the new fleet
(A380, B787), improve flight data analysis process with new system, enhance FOQA risk management
link with SafeNet, and expand analysis capability for MOQA (Maintenance Operational Quality
Assurance) & Fuel management.
Our safety culture will also be increased through safety policy revisions, activation of safety
reporting, and the encouragement of employees’ participation in safety education activities. Korean Air
will continue to advance safety culture including a safety reporting culture which encourages employees
to report safety-related issues, invest in the training of employees and identify additional partnership
opportunities with all Divisions and Departments. Korean Air will also continue to build trust and
improve interfaces with multiple governmental agencies such as the Office of Civil Aviation, Federal
Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency and the Department of Defence.
Maintenance
As part of its policy on flight safety, Korean Air places great importance on aircraft maintenance.
With about 40 years of experience, Korean Air continuously improves and modernises aircraft
maintenance technology. Its Maintenance & Engineering Division is dedicated to maintenance of civil
aircraft and engines and performs heavy maintenance for all types of airframe which Korean Air
operates including B747-400, B777, B737, A330 and A300-600. In addition, engine overhaul
maintenance is performed for almost every engine type which Korean Air operates such as PW4056
(747-400), CFM56-7 (B737), PW4168 (A330) and PW4158 (A300-600). PW4090 (B777) engine
overhaul maintenance capability is under development in 2011. Airframe heavy maintenance bases are
located at Gimpo, Incheon and Gimhae airport. The engine maintenance centre is located at Bucheon
city near the Gimpo maintenance base at Seoul. With each 2.5 bay hangar at Gimpo and Incheon
maintenance bases, the maintenance for aircraft types equivalent to two Boeing 747 and one Airbus
A300 aircraft can be carried out simultaneously. In the base at Gimhae airport, specialised maintenance
facilities for Boeing 747 aircraft are installed and aircraft painting work for all aircraft of Korean Air is
performed at Gimhae paint hangar.
For its operational performance, Korean Air has received awards from both Boeing and Airbus. In
October 2005, Boeing selected and awarded Korean Air as the ‘‘Outstanding Dispatch Reliability’’
airline for its operations of the B747-400, B777 and B737 aircraft. It was based on the reliability of
aircraft operators that have shown outstanding on-time reliability and operational performance during 5
years from 2000 to 2004. In addition, KAL was awarded the ‘A300-600 Operational Excellence Award’
in November 2009, and the ‘Top Operational Excellence’ for A330 in June 2010 from Airbus. Since
introducing Airbus aircraft to its fleet in 1974, KAL has won awards almost every year for its operation
of the A300, A300-600 and A330 aircraft types.
In 2004, KAL commenced carrying out aircraft heavy maintenance and engine MRO
(‘‘Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul’’) business for overseas commercial airlines. As an example,
Korean Air performed aircraft heavy maintenance (including cabin upgrade modification and fuselage
painting) for United Airlines from 2005 to 2010, and has entered into contracts with Thai Airways for
engine heavy maintenance since 2008. In 2010, KAL recorded U.S.$55 million in sales in maintenance
MRO business. The top three customers for KAL’s MRO business were Thai Airways, United Airlines
and Pratt & Whitney that altogether make up more than 80 per cent. of KAL’s total annual revenues
from its MRO business. Other MRO customers include Jin Air, China Cargo Airlines, GECAS,
Grandstar Cargo, Uzbekistan Airways and Southern Air.

Passenger Services
Korean Air’s passenger services currently extend to 103 cities (13 domestic and 90 international)
in 35 countries as of February 2011. In 2010, its passenger business experienced a very significant
rebound in demand driven by a rapid economic recovery, and also the exceptional fast pace of demand
growth in the Korea market. As a result, Korean Air achieved the highest yearly performance in its
history. Total revenues from passenger services increased by 21.2 per cent. and amounted to KRW6.7
trillion in 2010 from KRW5.5 trillion in 2009 constituting 63 per cent. of Korean Air’s total revenues
for that year. International and domestic passenger services comprised approximately 91.5 per cent. and
8.5 per cent. of the total passenger revenues, respectively, in 2010.

Korean Air operates scheduled flights to 15 cities in Japan and one flight from Osaka to Guam (the
‘‘Routes’’). Furthermore, Korean Air has newly opened up an Haneda, Tokyo-Incheon route, with a
daily schedule to attract the demand departing from Japan early in the morning. Korean Air has also
added a route from Cheongju to Osaka, one of the regional airports in Japan. The Japan Routes recorded
KRW130 billion of net profit in 2010 and net profit of KRW43 billion in 2009.
In China, Korean Air provides scheduled flights to 22 cities set out in Table 8 (the ‘‘ChinaRoutes’’). The China Routes delivered a 38% growth in revenue in 2010 compared with 2009, mainly
benefiting from strong Chinese demand with the strength of the Chinese Yuan. Korean Air recorded a
net profit in relation to the China Routes of KRW53 billion in 2010 compared to a net loss of KRW70
billion in 2009.
The Company operates scheduled flights to 16 cities in Southeast Asia including Thailand,
Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, Nepal and Cambodia (the ‘‘SoutheastAsia Routes’’). In 2010, Korean Air reported a net profit in relation to the Southeast Asia Routes of
KRW43 billion compared to a net loss of KRW53 billion in 2009.
Korean Air also operates scheduled flights to 13 cities in the United States and to Canada (the
‘‘Americas Routes’’), scheduled flights to 18 cities in Europe/Middle East/CIS (the ‘‘Europe Routes’’)and scheduled flights to Guam, Nadi and three cities in Australia and New Zealand (the ‘‘OceaniaRoutes’’).
The key statistics for Korean Air’s international passenger services are compiled by standards
commonly used in the airline industry: revenues, available-seat-kilometres (‘‘ASKs’’), revenue-
passenger-kilometres (‘‘RPKs’’), load factor and yield.
ASKs are a measure of the number of seats made available for sale multiplied by the distance
flown in kilometres on a route. RPKs are a measure of revenue from passengers multiplied by the
distance flown in kilometres on a route. Load factor is a measure of the rate of utilisation of Korean
Air’s capacity and is calculated by dividing RPKs by ASKs. Yield is a measure of the revenue from
each RPK and is measured by dividing revenues by RPKs.
Table 10 below shows Korean Air’s international passenger service statistics since 2009 measured
by revenues, ASKs, RPKs, load factor and yield.

Risk Management
In order to create a more stable business environment by minimising or eliminating the risk
associated with volatility of fuel prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, Korean Air has
focused on risk management since 2001 and will continue to actively manage risks. The risk
management is divided into two hedges: natural hedging and active hedging. Korean Air’s risk
management strategy is to minimise market risk factors using both natural hedging and active hedging.
Jet Fuel Price: Korean Air’s fuel hedging strategy is the use of a mix of basic hedge and
additional hedge: it intends to hedge regularly 25 per cent. of its fuel consumption regardless of market
condition (‘‘Basic Hedge’’). Currently Korean Air has only hedged 10% of its fuel consumption. In
addition to the Basic Hedge, Korean Air may enter into an additional hedge of up to 50 per cent. of its
fuel consumption if market conditions are favourable compared to a historical price level (‘‘AdditionalHedge’’).
Currency: Over the last few years, Korean Air has tried to eliminate some of its currency risk via
natural hedging of the balance sheet. In other words, Korean Air has increased its Won and Yen
denominated borrowings instead of dollar denominated financing to match its currency cash balances.
Korean Air actively hedges up to 50 per cent. of its currency exposure. Korean Air has entered into a
zero-cost collar to fix FX rate of USD/KRW within a range.
Interest Rate: over the last few years, Korean Air hedged its interest rate risk by increasing fixed
rate financing. Korean Air’s strategy is to keep fixed interest rate debt portion at around 50 per cent. for
overall debts. However, fixed and floating ratios differ by currencies: more than 50 per cent. of USD
denominated debts are floating rate whereas the majority of Won denominated debts are at a fixed rate.
In summary, as of December 2010, 29 per cent. of USD debts, 85 per cent. of Won debts and 64 per
cent. of JPY debts were on fixed rate basis.
Insurance
Korean Air currently has an insurance policy arranged by Marsh Ltd. in respect of its 140 aircraft,
helicopters and other small-sized aircraft (the ‘‘Insurance Policy’’). The insurance coverage is provided
by a syndicate of insurers in the international market. The maximum coverage for hull insurance under
the Insurance Policy is U.S.$260 million per aircraft and an aggregate maximum coverage for liability
under any one accident is U.S.$2.0 billion per aircraft. The deductible amount for each claim in respect
of a Boeing 747, Boeing 777, Airbus A300 or Airbus A330 aircraft is U.S.$1 million and is
U.S.$750,000 in respect of Boeing 737 aircraft. In addition to hull insurance and third party war
liability, the Insurance Policy insures Korean Air for liabilities connected with employees, passengers
and cargo on board each aircraft and general third party liability.
94
Impact of External Factors on Korean Air’s Business
In 2009, the world’s airline industry was hit by a global economic recession that stemmed from the
financial crisis. The confusion in the financial markets and contraction in sentiment across many
countries that followed projected an economic recession that would last a long time. However, as a
result of many countries’ financial stabilisation and expansion policies, the domestic and international
economies witnessed a turnaround in a relatively short period of time.
Historically, around 20 to 30 per cent. of Korean Air’s airline ticket sales are generated from
premium ticket sales (first and business class) which is relatively low in comparison to other airlines
such as Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines that generate around 40 per cent. of their ticket sales
from premium ticket sales. As such, compared to other airlines, the effect on Korean Air from a possible
future economic downturn on premium passenger revenue will be relatively small.
The Korean and global economies are expected to climb gradually in 2011. As a result of the
expansion in production and consumption driven by revitalisation of the real economy, both passenger
and cargo transportation are expected to record increased revenues during the current fiscal year.
According to the 2010 survey on airline transport performance carried-out by the MLTM,
international transport passengers showed increase in 2010. Total international transport passengers
increased by 19.5% in 2010 compared to the previous year. International cargo transportation also
increased to 3,330,000 tons, a 1.58% increase over the previous year. With the advent of new low cost
carriers, domestic passenger transportation recorded 20,220,000 passengers in 2010, a 15.3% increase
compared to the previous year. The airline transport business is expected to continue to grow in 2011.
Korean Air’s wholly owned low cost carrier Jin Air was incorporated in January 2008 and started
its first domestic route to and from Kimpo and Jeju in July 2008. After adding another domestic route to
and from Busan and Jeju in April 2009, Jin Air started its first international routes connecting Incheon
and Bangkok. Another international route connecting Incheon and Guam was added in April 2010.
Among the six low cost domestic carriers operating in Korea, Jin Air has around a 24 per cent. share of
the low cost flight market share in terms of number of passengers in 2009.
Beside economic factors, environmental responsibility has been highlighted in the global airline
industry. From 2012, airlines flying in and out of Europe are subject to the regulations for limiting CO2
emissions. Airlines will be required to purchase credits for their CO2 emissions in excess of regulatory
standards through the emissions trading scheme. Korean Airlines has developed a comprehensive
internal procedure that encompasses monitoring, reporting and verification. The Company’s IT systems
are consistently updated to maintain accurate and consistent control of its CO2 emissions.
Marketing and Advertising
In addition to safety considerations, customer service is a key area of focus for Korean Air. The
Company actively advertises its flight services in Korea, Japan and the United States on television
channels, on the internet, in newspapers and magazines.

The Company’s cargo operation statistics are measured by revenues, freight available tonne-
kilometres, revenue freight tonne-kilometres, load factors and yield. Freight available tonne-kilometres
(‘‘FATKs’’) are a measure of the available cargo capacity in tonnes multiplied by the distance flown in
kilometres. Revenue freight tonne-kilometres (‘‘RFTKs’’) are a measure of cargo loads in tonnes
multiplied by the distance flown in kilometres. Load factor is a measure of the rate of utilisation of
Korean Air’s capacity and is calculated by dividing RFTKs by FATKs. Yield is a measure of the
revenue from each RFTK and is measured by dividing revenues by RFTKs. Table 4 below shows
Korean Air’s international cargo service statistics since 2007, measured by revenues, FATKs, RFTKs,
load factor and yield.

Competition
Korean Air competes directly with other Asian airlines for intra-Asia, Asia-Europe and Asia-
United States cargo business. In order to win the competition against other airlines, Korean Air has been
trying to expand its network, develop infrastructure and strengthen its Sky Team alliance partnership.
102
The Japan cargo market is a mature and competitive market with several airlines providing air
cargo services. Major competitors against Korean Air are FedEx, Asiana Airlines, Cathay Pacific and
others as well as the Japanese airlines. Despite severe competition in Japan, the market share of Korean
Air in Japan has grown gradually since 2006. Table 10 shows Japan-sourced cargo traffic and Korean
Air’s share year-on-year, which is measured by carried cargo in tonnes.

Source: Information provided by Korean Air.
Even though Japanese airlines account for approximately 30% of the Japan cargo market in terms
of cargo fleet, Korean Air has a competitive advantage compared with Japanese airlines. Korean Air has
24 freighters as of 2010 as mentioned above, All Nippon Airways has nine Boeing 763 freighter aircraft
and Nippon Cargo Airlines has ten freighters according to publicly available data as of January 2011.
According to data from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, market share by all
Japanese airlines was approximately 40 per cent. for the twelve months ending on 31 December, 2010.
Strategic Alliances and Bilateral Agreements
In order to enhance its competitiveness against other airline groupings, Korean Air formed a global
passenger alliance (‘‘SkyTeam’’) together with Delta Air Lines, Air France and AeroMexico on 22 June,
2000. CSA Czech Airlines and Alitalia joined SkyTeam in 2001. KLM joined in 2004 and then Aeroflot
in 2006. The alliance has expanded by the addition of China Southern Airlines, Air Europa, Kenya
Airways in the recent years. Currently, Vietnam Airlines and Tarom Romanian Airlines joined the
alliance last year. The member airlines in the alliance aim to develop a shared system for managing
revenue and expenses, to co-operate on frequent flyer schemes, to share airport facilities, lounges,
resources and information technology and to provide a seamless passenger service around the world.
SkyTeam is now the world’s 2nd largest passenger airline alliance serving 898 destinations in 169
countries with 12,597 daily flights.
Korean Air estimates that the SkyTeam alliance (passenger and cargo) is revenue enhancing as
passengers and cargo are passed on to Korean Air’s network from other SkyTeam airlines’ networks.
The overall profit for Korean Air from SkyTeam’s passenger from codeshare, lounge, joint purchasing
and others is estimated to be approx. U.S.$22 million in 2010. Korean Air anticipates that the benefits
generated in 2011 will be approximately 1.2% increased in comparison to last year.
In September 2000, Korean Air formed a global cargo alliance (‘‘SkyTeam Cargo’’), the current
members of which are Alitalia, CSA-Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM and China Southern
Airlines, in addition to Korean Air, AeroMexico and Air France. SkyTeam Cargo is the only existing
Air cargo alliance in the World. Korean Air provides a wide range of air cargo products including
‘‘equation’’, ‘‘variation’’, ‘‘cohesion’’ and ‘‘dimension’’ which are common branded products within the
SkyTeam Cargo alliance. Which product a customer chooses will depend on a number of factors
103
including weight, the commodity of the item to be transported and the speed of delivery required.
Korean Air has also developed a Sky-Bridge System, primarily for the China market, which enables
cargo to be transported to/from Korea by air with the sector to/from China being handled by sea.
Figure 1 below shows the market share in 2009 of SkyTeam Cargo by internationally carried
AFTKs by IATA member airlines only. Figure 1.1 shows the market share in 2009 of Korean Air Cargo

The KoreaDevelopment Bank is entitled to receive fees under the terms of the Credit Facility Deed.
Overview
The Korea Development Bank (the ‘‘Credit Facility Provider’’) was established in 1954 as a
government-owned financial institution pursuant to The Korea Development Bank Act, as amended (the
‘‘KDB Act’’). Since its establishment it has been the leading bank in Korea with respect to the provision
of long-term financing for projects designed to assist Korea’s economic growth and development. The
Government indirectly owns all of the paid-in capital of the Credit Facility Provider. The registered
office of the Credit Facility Provider is located at 16-3 Yeouido-dong, Yeoungdeungpo-gu, Seoul,
Korea.
In June 2008, the Financial Services Commission announced the Government’s preliminary plan
for the privatisation of the Credit Facility Provider and, in May 2009, the KDB Act was amended to
facilitate such privatisation. The preliminary plan reflected the Government’s intention to nurture a more
competitive corporate and investment banking sector and trigger reorganisation and further advancement
of the Korean financial industry.
As a first step in implementing the privatisation of the Credit Facility Provider, the Government
established KDB Financial Group, or KDBFG, a financial holding company, and Korea Finance
Corporation, or KoFC, a public policy financing vehicle, in October 2009, by spinning off a portion of
its assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity. In the spinoff, the interests owned by the Credit Facility
Provider in Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd., KDB Asset Management Co., Ltd. and KDB Capital Corp.
were transferred to KDBFG, and the equity holdings of the Credit Facility Provider in certain
government-controlled companies, including Korea Electric Power Corporation, or KEPCO, and certain
companies under restructuring programs, including Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., were
transferred to KoFC. The Government transferred its ownership interest in the Credit Facility Provider to
KDBFG in exchange for all of KDBFG’s share capital on 24 November, 2009 and contributed 94.27%
of KDBFG’s shares to KoFC as a capital contribution on 30 December, 2009. In March 2010, the
Government made a further capital contribution of KRW10.0 billion in cash to KDBFG. As a result, as
of the date of this Prospectus, KoFC, which is wholly owned by the Government, owns 94.2% of
KDBFG’s share capital and the Government directly owns the remaining 5.8% of KDBFG’s share
capital. KDBFG owns 100.0% of the share capital of the Credit Facility Provider.
111
The following diagram shows the ownership structure of the Credit Facility Provider before and
after the spin-off and the share transfer.
Under the KDB Act, as amended in May 2009, the sale of KDBFG’s shares directly or indirectly
owned by the Government is to commence by May 2014, and the Government will guarantee the
payment of the principal of and interest on the foreign currency debt of the Credit Facility Provider with
a maturity of one year or more at the time of issuance (‘‘mid-to-long term foreign currency debt’’)outstanding as of the date of the initial sale of its direct or indirect equity interest in KDBFG, subject to
the authorisation by the National Assembly of the Government guarantee amount. Pursuant to the KDB
Act and the Enforcement Decree of the KDB Act (the ‘‘KDB Decree’’), the Government may also
directly or indirectly guarantee, within the limit and scope determined by the Government and subject to
the authorisation by the National Assembly, the payment of the principal of and interest on the mid-to-
long term foreign currency debt of the Credit Facility Provider incurred during the period when the
Government directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of KDBFG to refinance the foreign currency
debt of the Credit Facility Provider referred to in the preceding sentence, in the event that (i) the
repayment of such outstanding foreign currency debt would be difficult unless the Government provides
a guarantee, (ii) the terms and conditions of such newly incurred foreign currency debt would become
notably unfavourable unless the Government provides a guarantee or (iii) any other circumstances
equivalent to (i) or (ii) above exist, as determined by the Minister of Strategy and Finance. In addition,
the Government’s financial support to the Credit Facility Provider stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB
Act is expected to remain effective for so long as the Government owns, directly or indirectly, a
majority of the share capital of the Credit Facility Provider.
The Credit Facility Provider expects that both it and KoFC will perform policy bank roles until the
Government through KoFC transfers a controlling stake in KDBFG to unrelated third parties and ceases
to hold a majority ownership interest in the Credit Facility Provider. Under the KDB Act, as amended in
May 2009, if the Government ceases to be the controlling shareholder of the Credit Facility Provider,
the Government’s financial support to the Credit Facility Provider stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB
Act is expected to cease to be provided.
However, the implementation of the Government’s privatisation plan may be delayed or changed
depending on a variety of factors, such as domestic and international economic conditions, and the
timing discussed above is only preliminary and is subject to change. There can be no assurance that
such privatisation plan will be implemented as contemplated or that the contemplated privatisation will
be implemented at all.
112
The primary purpose of the Credit Facility Provider, as stated in the KDB Act, the KDB Decree
and its Articles of Incorporation, is to perform business such as the supply of funds to promote the
development of the national economy.
As of 31 December, 2010, the Credit Facility Provider had KRW71,863.2 billion of loans
outstanding (including loans, call loans, domestic usance, bills of exchange bought, local letters of credit
negotiation and loan-type suspense accounts pursuant to the applicable guidelines without adjusting for
allowance for possible loan losses, present value discounts and deferred loan fees), total assets of
KRW113,205.5 billion and total shareholders’ equity of KRW16,228.3 billion, as compared to
KRW76,211.4 billion of loans outstanding, KRW122,333.4 billion of total assets and KRW15,110.7
billion of total shareholders’ equity as of 31 December, 2009. In 2010, the Credit Facility Provider
recorded interest income of KRW4,409.1 billion, interest expense of KRW2,804.0 billion and net
income of KRW1,045.7 billion, as compared to KRW5,374.5 billion of interest income, KRW4,476.9
billion of interest expense and KRW761.1 billion of net income in 2009.
Currently, the Government indirectly holds all of the paid-in capital of the Credit Facility Provider.
In addition to contributions to such capital, the Government provides direct financial support for the
financing activities of the Credit Facility Provider, in the form of loans or guarantees. The Government,
through KDBFG, the sole shareholder of the Credit Facility Provider, has the power to elect or dismiss
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Credit Facility Provider, members of its board of
directors and auditor. Pursuant to the KDB Act, the Financial Services Commission has supervisory
power and authority over matters relating to the general business of the Credit Facility Provider
including, but not limited to, capital adequacy and managerial soundness.
The Government supports the operations of the Credit Facility Provider pursuant to Article 44 of
the KDB Act. Article 44 provides that ‘‘the annual net losses of the Korea Development Bank shall be
offset each year by the reserve, and if the reserve be insufficient, the deficit shall be replenished by the
Government’’. As a result of the KDB Act, the Government is generally responsible for the operations
of the Credit Facility Provider and is legally obligated to replenish any deficit that arises if its reserve,
consisting of its surplus and capital surplus items, is insufficient to cover its annual net losses. In light
of the above, if the Credit Facility Provider had insufficient funds to make any payment under any of its
obligations, pursuant to the KDB Act the Government would take appropriate steps, such as by making
a capital contribution, by allocating funds or by taking other action, to enable the Credit Facility
Provider to make such payment when due. The provisions of Article 44 do not, however, constitute a
direct guarantee by the Government of the obligations of the Credit Facility Provider under any debt
securities or guarantees, and the provisions of the KDB Act, including Article 44, may be amended at
any time by action of the National Assembly. If the Government ceases to be the controlling shareholder
of the Credit Facility Provider as a result of its privatisation, the Government’s financial support to the
Credit Facility Provider stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB Act is expected to cease to be provided.
In January 1998, the Government amended the KDB Act to:
. subordinate the borrowings of the Credit Facility Provider from the Government to other
indebtedness incurred in its operations;
. allow the Government to offset any deficit that arises if the reserve of the Credit Facility
Provider fails to cover its annual net losses by transferring Government-owned property,
including securities held by the Government, to the Credit Facility Provider; and
. allow direct injections of capital by the Government without prior National Assembly
approval.
113
The Government amended the KDB Act in May 1999 and the KDB Decree in March 2000, to
allow the Financial Services Commission to supervise and regulate the Credit Facility Provider in terms
of capital adequacy and managerial soundness.
In March 2002, the Government amended the KDB Act to enable the Credit Facility Provider,
among other things, to:
. obtain low-cost funds from The Bank of Korea and from the issuance of debt securities (in
addition to already permitted Industrial Finance Bonds), which funds may be used for
increased levels of lending to small and medium size enterprises;
. broaden the scope of borrowers to which the Credit Facility Provider may extend working
capital loans to include companies in the manufacturing industry, enterprises which are
‘‘closely related’’ to enhancing the corporate competitiveness of the manufacturing industry
and leading-edge high-tech companies; and
. extend credits to mergers and acquisitions projects intended to facilitate corporate
restructuring efforts.
In July 2005 and May 2009, the Government amended Article 43 of the KDB Act. The revised
Article 43 provides that:
(1) the annual net profit of the Credit Facility Provider, after adequate allowances are made for
depreciation in assets, shall be distributed as follows:
(i) forty percent or more of the net profit shall be credited to reserve, until the reserve
amounts equal the total amount of paid-in capital; and
(ii) any net profit remaining following the apportionment required under subparagraph (i)
above shall be distributed in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Credit Facility Provider and the approval of its shareholders;
(2) accumulated amounts in reserve may be capitalised; and
(3) any distributions made in accordance with paragraph (1)(ii) above may be in the form of cash
dividends or dividends in kind, provided that any distributions of dividends in kind must be
made in accordance with applicable provisions of the KDB Decree.
In February 2008, the Government further amended the KDB Act, primarily to transfer most of the
Government’s supervisory authority over the Credit Facility Provider from the Ministry of Strategy and
Finance (formerly the Ministry of Finance and Economy) to the Financial Services Commission.
In May 2009, the Government amended the KDB Act to facilitate the privatisation of the Credit
Facility Provider. The amendment provided for, among others:
. the preparation for the transformation of the Credit Facility Provider from a special statutory
entity into a corporation, including the application of the Banking Act as applicable;
. the expansion of the operation scope of the Credit Facility Provider that enables the Credit
Facility Provider to engage in commercial banking activities, including retail banking;
114
. the provision of government guarantees for the mid-to-long term foreign currency debt of the
Credit Facility Provider outstanding at the time of initial sale of the Government’s stake in
KDBFG (subject to the National Assembly’s authorisation of the Government guarantee
amount) and possible guarantees for the foreign currency debt of Credit Facility Provider
incurred for the refinancing of such mid-to-long term foreign currency debt with the
government guarantee during the period when the Government owns more than 50% of the
shares of Credit Facility Provider; and
. the establishment of KDBFG and KoFC and application of the Financial Holding Company
Act to KDBFG.
The revised KDB Act became effective as of 1 June, 2009.

Business
Purpose and Authority
Since its establishment, the Credit Facility Provider has been the leading bank in Korea in
providing long-term financing for projects designed to assist the nation’s economic growth and
development.
115
Under the KDB Act, the KDB Decree and its Articles of Incorporation, the primary purpose of the
Credit Facility Provider is to perform business such as the supply of funds to promote the development
of the national economy.
Under the KDB Act, the Credit Facility Provider may:
. carry out activities necessary to accomplish the expansion of the national economy, subject to
the approval of the Financial Services Commission;
. provide loans or discount notes;
. subscribe to, underwrite or invest in securities;
. guarantee or assume indebtedness;
. raise funds by accepting demand deposits and time and savings deposits from the general
public, issuing securities, borrowing from the Government, The Bank of Korea or other
financial institutions, and borrowing from overseas;
. execute foreign exchange transactions, including currency and interest swap transactions;
. provide planning, management, research and other support services at the request of the
Government, public bodies, financial institutions or enterprises; and
. carry out other businesses incidental to the foregoing.
Government Support and Supervision
The Government owns indirectly all of the paid-in capital of the Credit Facility Provider. On 20
February, 2000, the Government contributed KRW100 billion in cash to such capital. On 29 December,
2000, the Credit Facility Provider reduced its paid-in capital by KRW959.8 billion to offset its expected
net loss for the year. To compensate for the resulting deficit under the KDB Act, on 20 June, 2001, the
Government contributed KRW3 trillion in the form of shares of common stock of KEPCO to the capital
of the Credit Facility Provider. On 29 December, 2001, the Government contributed KRW50 billion in
cash to the capital of the Credit Facility Provider. On 13 August, 2003, the Government contributed
KRW80 billion in cash to the capital of the Credit Facility Provider to support its existing fund for
facilitating Korea’s regional economies. On 30 April, 2004, the Government contributed KRW1 trillion
in the form of shares of common stock of KEPCO and Korea Water Resources Corporation to the capital
of the Credit Facility Provider to support its lending to small-and medium-sized companies and to
compensate for its contribution to LG Card Ltd. in the form of loans, cash injections and debt-for-equity
swaps. On 19 December, 2008, the Government contributed KRW500 billion in the form of shares of
common stock of Korea Expressway Corporation to the capital of the Credit Facility Provider and, in
January 2009, the Government contributed KRW900 billion in cash to the capital of the Credit Facility
Provider, in each case to bolster its capital base in order to stabilise the Korean financial market by
supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and providing increased liquidity to corporations. In
October 2009, the paid-in capital of the Credit Facility Provider decreased by KRW400.0 billion in
connection with the establishment by the Government of KDBFG and KoFC by spinning off a portion of
its assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity (including paid-in capital). Taking into account these
capital contributions and reduction, as of 31 December, 2009, the total paid-in capital of the Credit
Facility Provider was KRW9,241.9 billion. In March 2010, the Government, through KDBFG, made a
further capital contribution of KRW10.0 billion in cash to the capital of the Credit Facility Provider.
116
In addition to capital contributions, the Government directly supports the financing activities of the
Credit Facility Provider by:
. lending the Credit Facility Provider funds to on-lend;
. allowing the Credit Facility Provider to administer Government loans made from a range of
special Government funds;
. allowing the Credit Facility Provider to administer some of The Bank of Korea’s surplus
foreign exchange holdings; and
. allowing the Credit Facility Provider to receive credit from The Bank of Korea.
The Government also supports the operations of the Credit Facility Provider pursuant to Articles
43 and 44 of the KDB Act. Article 43 provides that ‘‘40% or more of the annual net profit of the Korea
Development Bank shall be transferred to reserve, until the reserve amounts equal the total amount of
paid-in capital’’ and that accumulated amounts in reserve may be capitalised. Article 44 provides that
‘‘the net losses of the Korea Development Bank shall be offset each fiscal year by the reserve, and if the
reserve be insufficient, the deficit shall be replenished by the Government.’’
As a result of the KDB Act, the Government is generally responsible for the operations of the
Credit Facility Provider and is legally obligated to replenish any deficit that arises if its reserve,
consisting of its surplus and capital surplus items, is insufficient to cover its annual net losses. In light
of the above, if the Credit Facility Provider had insufficient funds to make any payment under any of its
obligations, under the KDB Act the Government would take appropriate steps, such as by making a
capital contribution, by allocating funds or by taking other action, to enable the Credit Facility Provider
to make such payment when due. The provisions of Article 44 do not, however, constitute a direct
guarantee by the Government of the obligations of the Credit Facility Provider under any debt securities
or guarantees and the provisions of the KDB Act, including Article 44, may be amended at any time by
action of the National Assembly. If the Government ceases to be the controlling shareholder of the
Credit Facility Provider as a result of its privatisation, the Government’s financial support to the Credit
Facility Provider stipulated by Article 44 of the KDB Act is expected to cease to be provided.
Under the KDB Act, the initial sale by the Government of its equity interest in KDBFG shall be
made by May 2014 and the Government will guarantee the payment of the principal of and interest on
the mid-to-long term foreign currency debt outstanding of the Credit Facility Provider as of the date of
the initial sale of its equity interest in KDBFG, subject to the authorisation by the National Assembly of
the Government guarantee amount, pursuant to Article 18-2 of the KDB Act. In addition, under Article
18-2 of the KDB Act, the Government may directly or indirectly guarantee, within the limit and scope
determined by the Government and subject to the authorisation by the National Assembly, the repayment
of the principal of and interest on the mid-to-long term foreign currency debt incurred by the Credit
Facility Provider during the period when the Government directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of
KDBFG to refinance the foreign currency debt of the Credit Facility Provider referred to in the
preceding sentence, in the event that (i) the repayment of the outstanding foreign currency debt of the
Credit Facility Provider would be difficult unless the Government provides a guarantee, (ii) the terms
and conditions of its newly incurred foreign currency debt would become notably unfavourable unless
the Government provides a guarantee or (iii) any other circumstances equivalent to (i) or (ii) above
exist, as determined by the Minister of Strategy and Finance.
117
The Government closely supervises the operations of the Credit Facility Provider in the following
ways:
. the Government, through KDBFG, the sole shareholder of the Credit Facility Provider, has
the power to elect or dismiss its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, members of the
Board of Directors and Auditor;
. within three months after the end of each fiscal year, the Credit Facility Provider must submit
its financial statements for the fiscal year to the Financial Services Commission;
. the Financial Services Commission has broad authority to require reports from the Credit
Facility Provider on any matter and to examine its books, records and other documents. On
the basis of the reports and examinations, the Financial Services Commission may issue any
orders deemed necessary to enforce the KDB Act;
. the Financial Services Commission must approve the operating manual of the Credit Facility
Provider, which sets out the guidelines for all principal operating matters;
. the Financial Services Commission may supervise the operations of the Credit Facility
Provider to ensure managerial soundness based upon the KDB Decree and the Bank
Supervisory Regulations of the Financial Services Commission and may issue orders deemed
necessary for such supervision; and
. the Credit Facility Provider may amend its Articles of Incorporation only with the approval
of the Financial Services Commission.
In addition, the conditions of the IMF aid package stated that domestic banks in Korea, including
the Credit Facility Provider, should undergo external audits from internationally recognised accounting
firms. Accordingly, the Credit Facility Provider has had its annual financial statements for years
commencing 1998 audited by an external auditor.
Pursuant to its most recently approved program of operations, the Credit Facility Provider expects
to support the reform and restructuring of the Korea’s economic and industrial structure, including
financing of promising small and medium sized enterprises, providing export finance and encouraging
investments in infrastructure necessary to promote consumer demand and industrial reorganisation.

THE SWAP
The Note Issuer will enter into the Swap Agreement with The Korea Development Bank (the
‘‘Swap Provider’’) with its principal office at 16-3 Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, 150-973
Korea.
The Swap Agreement is governed by English law and is documented on a standard form published
by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (‘‘ISDA’’) as modified by the schedule
thereto and including the related confirmation. The Swap Agreement is intended to provide a hedge
against mismatches between the amount of interest receivable by the Note Issuer under the Bond and the
rate of interest payable under the Notes.

KOREAN FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND SECURITIES REGULATIONS
General
In the past, the Foreign Exchange Management Act (Law No. 4447, 27 December, 1991), asamended, and the Presidential Decree and regulations thereunder (collectively the ‘‘Foreign ExchangeManagement Laws’’) regulated investment in Korean securities by non-residents and issuance ofsecurities outside Korea by Korean companies. With effect from 1 April, 1999, the Foreign ExchangeManagement Laws were abolished and the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act (Law No. 5550, 16September, 1998), as amended, and the Presidential Decree and regulations thereunder (collectively the‘‘FETL’’) were enacted. Under the FETL, many restrictions on foreign exchange transactions have beenreduced and many currency and capital transactions have been liberalised. Although non-residents mayinvest in Korean securities only to the extent specifically allowed by such laws or otherwise permittedby the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (the ‘‘MOSF’’), many approval requirements have been relaxed.The FSC has also adopted, pursuant to its authority under the Financial Investment Services and CapitalMarkets Act, regulations that restrict investment by foreigners (as defined therein) in Korean securities.However, Korean law does not limit the right of non-Koreans to hold securities issued pursuant to theFETL outside Korea.
With effect from 1 January, 2006, the Presidential Decree and regulations under the ForeignExchange Transaction Act have been amended for further liberalisation of foreign exchange transactions.In accordance therewith, certain transactions that previously required approval from the Bank of Koreaor MOSF now require only a report to the Bank of Korea or MOSF, although such report will have to beaccepted by the Bank of Korea or MOSF, as applicable.
Under the FETL, if the Korean government deems that (a) it is necessary in the event of naturaldisasters or the outbreak of any wars or conflict of arms or the occurrence of grave and sudden changesin domestic/foreign economic circumstances or other situations equivalent thereto, the MOSF maytemporarily suspend payments, or the receipt of payments, on the whole or part of transactions to whichthe FETL applies or imposes an obligation on the transaction parties to safekeep or deposit with or sellto, the Bank of Korea, certain Korean governmental agencies, the Foreign Exchange Equalization Fundor financial institutions, the means of payment of the transaction (including any gold, non-negotiablegold coins or other gold products), or (b) the international balance of payments and international financeare confronted or are likely to be confronted with serious difficulty or the movement of capital betweenKorea and foreign jurisdictions causes or is likely to cause a serious obstruction to the conduct ofcurrency policies, exchange rate policies and other macroeconomic policies, the MOSF may take actionto require any person who intends to perform capital transactions (which include, among other things,the generation, alteration or extinction of claims from contracts of deposit, trust, the lending of money,the acquisition of securities, etc.) to obtain permission or to require any person who performs capitaltransactions to deposit part of the payment acquired in such transactions with the Bank of Korea, theForeign Exchange Equalization Fund or financial institutions, in each case subject to certain limitationsthereunder.
Government Review of the Issuance of the Bond and Authorisation for Payments on the Bond
In order for the Bond Issuer to issue the Bond outside Korea, the Bond Issuer is required to file aprior report of the issuance to the MOSF through the Designated FX Bank. There are certain otherregulatory reports that are required under the FETL in connection with the execution, delivery andperformance of the Transaction Documents by the parties thereto.
Under the FSC’s Regulations on Securities Issuance and Disclosure, the transfer of the Bond to aKorean resident (as defined in the FETL) is prohibited during the first year of its issuance except asotherwise permitted by applicable Korean law and regulations.

CERTAIN LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain Korean and Cayman Islands legal issues relevant to
Noteholders. The following summary is not intended to be exhaustive. Prospective investors should
consider the nature of an investment in notes of this type and the political and legal environment of
Korea and the Cayman Islands and should make such further investigations as they, in their sole
discretion, deem appropriate.
Korean Legal Considerations
Enforcement of English or Japanese Judgments in Korea
A judgment duly obtained in the courts of England or Japan will be recognised by Korean courts
without a re-examination of the merits of the case if:
(a) such judgment was finally and conclusively given by a court having valid jurisdiction in
accordance with the international jurisdiction principles under Korean Law and applicable
treaties;
(b) the Bond Issuer, the Trustor or the Japanese Trustee, as the case may be, (i) was served, in a
lawful method, the complaint or document equivalent thereto and notice of hearing date or
order, with sufficient time to prepare for defence thereof in conformity with applicable laws
(except in the case of service by public notice or process similar thereto) or (ii) responded to
the action without being served with process;
(c) such judgment is not contrary to the public policy of Korea; and
(d) judgments of the courts of Korea are accorded reciprocal treatment under the laws of England
or Japan, as the case may be.
Insolvency Laws in Korea
On 2 March, 2005, the National Assembly, the legislature of Korea, passed the Act on Debtor
Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy (the ‘‘Consolidated Insolvency Act’’) which combines and amends the
Bankruptcy Act, Act on Individual Debtor Rehabilitation, Corporate Reorganisation Act and
Composition Act. The Consolidated Insolvency Act became effective from 1 April, 2006, and contains,
among others, the following:
1. provisions applicable to rehabilitation pursuant to Chapter 2 Proceedings, which are based on
the Corporate Reorganisation Act and expand the scope of eligible applicants for Chapter 2
Proceedings to all types of legal entities, including corporations, and unincorporated
foundations or associations, as well as individuals;
2. provisions applicable to bankruptcy proceedings, which are based on the Bankruptcy Act; and
3. provisions applicable to international insolvency proceedings, which have been newly
introduced.
121
When the Consolidated Insolvency Act became effective, all of the previous bankruptcy, corporate
reorganisation and individual rehabilitation procedures, which had been regulated under separate laws,
were consolidated into one law, and composition proceedings which had been permitted under the
Composition Act were abolished. Under the Consolidated Insolvency Act, the petitioner must specify
which procedure it wishes to use.
For a debtor that has filed for a bankruptcy proceeding, after the court issues an order preserving
the debtor’s assets, a receiver will be appointed to liquidate the assets of the debtor and to distribute the
proceeds to its unsecured creditors on a pro-rata basis. Secured creditors remain free to exercise their
interests under the bankruptcy proceedings. On the other hand, the goal of Chapter 2 Proceedings is to
rehabilitate insolvent companies. In a Chapter 2 Proceeding secured creditors will not be able to enforce
their security outside such Chapter 2 Proceeding.
The Consolidated Insolvency Act makes it easier for the court to avoid the debtor’s transactions
with certain shareholders or equityholders of the debtor (‘‘specially related persons’’), by presuming
that the specially related persons acted knowingly in such transactions. In addition, under the previous
law, transactions made by debtors for, or relating to, the grant of security or the extinguishment of
obligations within sixty days before the suspension of payment, without the obligation to do so, may be
avoided. However, the Consolidated Insolvency Act extends this sixty day period to one year in the case
of transactions with specially related persons. Further, under the current law, gratuitous or equivalent
acts performed by the debtor within six months before the suspension of payment, etc. may be avoided,
and the Consolidated Insolvency Act also extends this six-month period to one year with regard to
transactions with specially related persons.
Chapter 2 Proceedings
The Chapter 2 Proceeding (i.e. the rehabilitation proceeding) is designed for use by an insolvent
debtor which desires to rehabilitate itself. This proceeding is tightly controlled by the court so that most
of the material actions or decisions of the debtor may be taken or made only with the approval of the
court.
One of the most significant changes effected through the Consolidated Insolvency Act with respect
to Chapter 2 Proceedings in comparison with corporate reorganisation proceedings under the Corporate
Reorganization Act is that all types of legal entities, including joint stock companies, limited liability
companies, and unincorporated foundations or associations, as well as individuals, can rehabilitate
pursuant to Chapter 2 Proceedings, whereas under the Corporate Reorganization Act, only joint stock
companies were subject to reorganisation proceedings. Although individual debtors can rehabilitate
pursuant to Chapter 2 Proceedings, since this is a new feature of the Consolidated Insolvency Act, it is
not clear how frequently and on what criteria the court will apply such procedures to individual debtors.
In addition, although under the Corporate Reorganization Act, a limited liability company such as the
Bond Issuer has not been subject to corporate reorganisation proceedings because it is not a joint stock
company, it will be subject to Chapter 2 Proceedings under the Consolidated Insolvency Act due to the
expansion of eligible debtors as described above. Another significant change is that, although the
Consolidated Insolvency Act maintains the previous system of appointing a permanent receiver in
Chapter 2 Proceedings, it provides that, in principle, the debtor itself or, in case where the debtor is a
company, its own representative, and not a third party, should be elected as the receiver whereas the
Corporate Reorganization Act used to replace the incumbent management with the receiver appointed by
the court. Further, the Consolidated Insolvency Act, unlike the Corporate Reorganization Act, permits a
legal entity to be appointed as the receiver of the rehabilitation proceeding, in which case this legal
entity shall designate one of its directors to exercise the rights and powers conferred to it as the receiver
and shall report such designation to the court.
122
Under the Consolidated Insolvency Act, the debtor may file a petition to the court for Chapter 2
Proceedings in the case where (i) debts cannot be repaid without causing material damages to the
continuance of the debtor’s business or (ii) any events leading to bankruptcy of the debtor may arise.
Upon the occurrence of any event described in (ii) above, if the debtor is a joint stock company or a
limited liability company, (a) a creditor who has claims in an amount of not less 10 per cent. of the
debtor’s paid-in capital or (b) a shareholder or equityholder who holds shares or equity interest not less
than 10 per cent. of the debtor’s paid-in capital may also apply for Chapter 2 Proceedings. If the debtor
is not a joint stock company or a limited liability company, a creditor who has claims in the amount of
not less than fifty million Won or an equityholder who holds equity interest not less than 10 per cent. of
the debtor’s equity interest can apply for Chapter 2 Proceedings.
When the debtor itself or its creditor or equityholder who satisfies the above requirements applies
for a Chapter 2 Proceeding, the court may, upon request from interested parties or in its sole discretion,
but after hearing the opinion of the management committee, issue a preservation order against individual
assets of the debtor, and may issue an injunction against bankruptcy proceedings or enforcement
proceedings initiated by its secured or unsecured creditors. Further, if the Court determines that the
object of the Chapter 2 Proceedings may not be achieved through individual asset preservation orders, it
may issue a comprehensive injunction against enforcement proceedings initiated by creditors against the
assets of the debtor. If a comprehensive injunction is issued, enforcement proceedings that are already in
progress will be suspended, and the court may cancel such enforcement proceedings upon the request of
the debtor or, as the case may be, the receiver, if deemed necessary for the continuance of the debtor’s
business. However, if the court determines that a creditor may sustain unjust damages as a result of such
comprehensive injunction, the court may revoke the injunction for that particular creditor upon the
request of such creditor.
When the petition for a Chapter 2 Proceeding is filed, the court is required within one month of
the date of petition to determine whether to commence a Chapter 2 Proceeding. Once the
commencement of the Chapter 2 Proceeding is declared, most claims against the debtor that arose prior
to such commencement date are automatically stayed, while claims arising after such commencement
date are generally not subject to the Chapter 2 Proceeding. Also, the court will appoint a permanent
receiver, who has the power to conduct all of the debtor’s business and manage all of the debtor’s
properties, subject to court supervision.
The Consolidated Insolvency Act strengthens the role of the committee of creditors by mandating
its composition, unless the debtor is a small or medium sized enterprise or an individual, and granting
the committee the right to nominate an auditor and to request investigation of the debtor company’s
business status after the approval of the rehabilitation plan.
As a general rule, any creditor whose claim against the debtor arose prior to the commencement of
the Chapter 2 Proceeding, whether secured or unsecured, may not enforce such claims other than as
provided for in the rehabilitation plan adopted at the meeting of interested parties and approved by the
court. The rehabilitation plan may alter or modify the rights of creditors or shareholders. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the rights of the creditors, whether secured or unsecured, will not be
adversely affected by a Chapter 2 Proceeding. Further, a creditor who intends to participate in the
rehabilitation plan must file its claim with the court within the period fixed by the court.
Under the Chapter 2 Proceeding, creditors are classified into three basic categories: (i) creditors
with unsecured rehabilitation claims, (ii) creditors with secured rehabilitation claims and (iii) creditors
with claims for common benefits. The former two categories of creditors are subject to Chapter 2
Proceedings and generally may not receive payment or repayment for their respective claims other than
as provided in the rehabilitation plan. Creditors with claims for common benefits are not subject to the
123
rehabilitation plan, and include, among others, those creditors whose claims either arose after the
commencement of the Chapter 2 Proceeding (subject to certain exceptions) or those creditors whose
claims were approved by the court during the preservation period.
In order to encourage mergers and/or acquisitions of insolvent companies, the Consolidated
Insolvency Act loosens the requirements for approval of rehabilitation plans contemplating liquidation,
by requiring the approval of the creditors representing four-fifths of the outstanding amount of secured
claims, whereas the Corporate Reorganization Act required unanimous consent of all secured creditors.
However, in case of rehabilitation plans contemplating the continuance of the debtor’s business
including, without limitation, merger, spin-off or business transfer, the consent of the creditors
representing not less than three-fourths of the amount of secured rehabilitation claims and of the
creditors representing not less than two-thirds of the unsecured rehabilitation claims is required. For
approval of all types of rehabilitation plans, the consent of the shareholders having not less than half of
the voting rights is also required.
If the debtor fails to perform its payment obligations in accordance with the rehabilitation plan,
affected creditors are not permitted to initiate lawsuits or enforce their security interests. Instead, they
(or the receiver of the company) may only request the court to amend the rehabilitation plan. However,
if such amendment could have an adverse effect on creditors with rehabilitation claims or shareholders
of the company, the court may amend the rehabilitation plan only by obtaining an affirmative vote at a
meeting of interested parties. If it becomes apparent, either before or after the court approves the
rehabilitation plan, that the debtor cannot be rehabilitated, the court may, at its sole discretion or upon
request by the receiver or a creditor with a rehabilitation claim, issue an order to discontinue the Chapter
2 Proceeding.
Once the Chapter 2 Proceeding is discontinued and if the court determines the debtor is insolvent,
the court must declare the debtor bankrupt and must initiate the bankruptcy proceeding against the
debtor. The compulsory declaration of bankruptcy in Chapter 2 Proceedings will be limited to those
cases where a final decision has been made to terminate the Chapter 2 Proceedings after the approval of
the rehabilitation plan. Declaration of bankruptcy is optional in cases of:
(i) the dismissal of a petition for the commencement of Chapter 2 Proceedings;
(ii) the non-approval of a rehabilitation plan; and
(iii) an order to terminate Chapter 2 Proceedings before the approval of the rehabilitation plan.
If the bankruptcy proceedings are initiated, unsecured rehabilitation claims are characterised as
general liquidation claims, and creditors with unsecured rehabilitation claims will be paid pursuant to
the bankruptcy proceedings. Creditors with secured rehabilitation claims, on the other hand, may
immediately enforce their security interest once the rehabilitation proceeding is discontinued, provided
however that, if the terms of the secured claim is amended by the rehabilitation plan, such claim may
only be enforced in accordance with such amendment and the original terms shall not be revived.
Bankruptcy Proceeding
The bankruptcy proceeding is a court administered process designed to liquidate an insolvent
debtor’s assets and formally begins upon an adjudication by the court that the debtor is indeed
‘‘bankrupt’’. The court will make its determination as to whether grounds for bankruptcy exist based on
the written pleadings and oral argument of the petitioner. The adjudication of bankruptcy also has the
effect of automatically staying all unsecured creditors from executing their claims against the bankruptcy
estate.
124
The receiver appointed by the court will be vested with the exclusive right to manage and disposeof the bankruptcy estate, and to conduct an investigation and assessment of the bankruptcy estate. TheConsolidated Insolvency Act, unlike the Bankruptcy Act, permits a legal entity to be appointed thereceiver of the bankruptcy proceeding. If a legal entity is appointed the receiver, it shall designate oneof its directors to exercise the right and power conferred to it as receiver and shall report suchdesignation to the court. After reviewing the reports prepared by the receiver, the creditors will have ameeting and vote on a resolution deciding whether to continue or discontinue the debtor business andthe manner of safeguarding the bankruptcy estate.
Subject to certain statutory limitations and approval by the inspection commissioners, the receiverhas the power to liquidate the bankruptcy estate, and to determine the manner and timing of suchliquidation. The receiver distributes the proceeds from the liquidation of the bankruptcy estate to thecreditors in proportion to their claims. The distribution proceeds in several stages. Claims entitled todistribution are differentiated according to the priority of claims. Bankruptcy creditors are classified asfollows, in accordance with their priorities: (i) secured creditors, who have the right to proceed againsttheir securities on the same terms as would be available if the debtor were not in bankruptcy; (ii)creditors with estate claims, which include costs of judicial proceeding, tax claims, wages and paymentof severance, management expenses incurred in connection with management, liquidation anddistribution of the bankruptcy estate, and other claims arising from administration of the bankruptcyestate; (iii) creditors with other statutorily preferred claims (including policyholders’ claims against aninsurance company to the extent of the amount equal to the relevant reserves); (iv) general claims; and(v) less preferred claims. The Consolidated Insolvency Act ensures that the priority rights of tenantsunder the Housing Lease Protection Act and the Commercial Building Lease Protection Act are alsoprotected under bankruptcy proceedings.
International Insolvency Proceedings
The representative in a foreign insolvency proceeding (i.e. a person or entity recognised by theapplicable court as the receiver or representative in the foreign insolvency proceeding) may file with theKorean court for approval of such foreign insolvency proceeding. Once the foreign insolvencyproceeding is approved by the Korean court, the representative in such proceeding may apply forinsolvency proceedings in Korea or participate in the insolvency proceeding that is already in progressin Korea. On the other hand, the receiver or bankruptcy trustee in the insolvency proceeding in Koreamay, for purposes of such proceeding, take actions in foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted by theapplicable laws.
Cayman Islands Legal Considerations
The Note Issuer has been advised by its Cayman Islands counsel, Walkers, that, although there isno statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in England or Japan, a judgmentobtained in a foreign court (other than certain judgments of a superior court of any state of theCommonwealth of Australia) will be recognised and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islandswithout any re-examination of the merits at common law, where the judgment (a) is final andconclusive, (b) is one in respect of which the foreign court had jurisdiction over the defendant accordingto Cayman Islands conflict of law rules, (c) is either for a liquidated sum not in respect of penalties ortaxes or a fine or similar fiscal or revenue obligations or, in certain circumstances, for in personam non-money relief, and (d) was neither obtained in a manner, nor is of a kind enforcement of which iscontrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. Such judgement would berecognised and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands by an action commenced on the foreignjudgment in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.
A Cayman Islands’ court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being broughtelsewhere.
125
TAXATION
The following summary is a general description of certain Korean, Japanese, Cayman Islands,
United Kingdom, European Union and Irish tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and
disposition of the Notes is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of
this Prospectus, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). The summary does
not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a
decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Notes and does not purport to deal with the consequences
applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. Persons
considering the purchase of the Notes should consult their own tax advisor concerning the application
of Korean, Japanese, Cayman Islands, United Kingdom, European Union and Irish tax laws to their
particular situations as well as any consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
Notes arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
Korean Taxation
The information provided below does not purport to be a complete summary of Korean tax law and
practice currently applicable. Prospective investors should consult with their professional advisors.
The taxation of a non-Korean corporation such as the Note Issuer (a ‘‘non-resident’’) depends on
whether the non-resident has a ‘‘permanent establishment’’ (as defined under Korean law) in Korea to
which the relevant Korean source income is attributable or with which the relevant Korean source
income is effectively connected. Non-residents without a permanent establishment in Korea are taxed in
the manner described below. Non-residents with a permanent establishment in Korea are taxed in
accordance with different rules.
Tax on Interest
In principle, interest on the Bond paid to a non-resident such as the Note Issuer by a Korean
company is subject to withholding of Korean income tax at the rate of 14 per cent. unless exempted by
relevant laws or tax treaties. In addition, a tax surcharge, called local income tax, would be imposed at
the rate of 10 per cent. of the income tax (raising the total tax rate to 15.4 per cent.). Tax rates may be
reduced or exempted by applicable tax treaties, conventions or agreements between Korea and the
jurisdiction of the recipient of the interest payment.
The Special Tax Treatment Control Law of Korea (the ‘‘STTCL’’) exempts interest on bonds
denominated in a foreign currency (excluding payments to a Korean corporation or resident) issued by a
Korean company from Korean income tax. The local income tax referred to above is also therefore
eliminated.
Tax on Capital Gains
Korean tax laws currently exclude from Korean taxation gains made by a non-resident without a
permanent establishment in Korea from the sale of securities other than stock or equity securities to non-
residents (unless the sale is to the non-resident’s permanent establishment in Korea). In addition, capital
gains earned by a non-resident from the transfer of certain securities denominated in a foreign currency
taking place outside of Korea are currently exempt from taxation by virtue of the STTCL; provided that
the issuance of securities is deemed to be an overseas issuance under Korean tax law.
126
If a sale of securities issued by a Korean company between non-residents is not exempted under
Korean tax laws or applicable tax treaties, gains made on such sales are subject to Korean taxation at the
lesser of 11 per cent. of the gross realisation proceeds or (subject to the production of satisfactory
evidence of the acquisition costs and certain transaction costs) 22 per cent. of the gain made.
Unless the seller can claim the benefit of an exemption of tax under an applicable treaty or in the
absence of the seller producing satisfactory evidence of its acquisition cost and certain direct transaction
costs in relation to the securities being sold, the purchaser or any other designated withholding agents of
the securities, as applicable, must withhold an amount equal to 11 per cent. of the gross realisation
proceeds.
Stamp Tax and Securities Transaction Tax
No stamp, registration, or similar taxes are payable in Korea on the Transaction Documents;
provided that such documents are executed outside of Korea. If certain Transaction Documents are
executed in Korea, a stamp duty ranging from KRW100 to KRW350,000 would be imposed on each
original document. No securities transaction tax will be imposed on the transfer of the Bond.
Tax Treaties
At the date of this Prospectus, Korea does not have a tax treaty with the Cayman Islands.
Japanese Taxation
Investors should consult their own tax advisers prior to the purchase of the Notes.
Provided that the Note Issuer has a business purpose, is not merely a nominee and is not treated as
a disregarded entity by the Japanese tax authorities, interest paid to the Noteholders should not be
subject to Japanese withholding tax.
Cayman Islands Taxation
The following is a general discussion of certain Cayman Islands tax considerations for prospective
investors in the Notes. The discussion is based upon present law and interpretations of present law, both
of which are subject to prospective and retroactive changes. The discussion does not consider any
investor’s particular circumstances and it is not intended as tax advice. Each prospective investor is
urged to consult its tax adviser about the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes under the laws
of the Cayman Islands, the United States, Japan, Korea, jurisdictions from which the Note Issuer may
derive its income or conduct its activities, and jurisdictions where the investor is subject to taxation.
Withholding Tax
No withholding tax is payable in the Cayman Islands in respect of payments of principal and
interest on the Notes.
Stamp Duty
No stamp duties or similar taxes or charges are payable under the laws of the Cayman Islands in
respect of the execution and issue of the Notes unless they are executed in or brought within (for
example, for the purposes of enforcement) the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands, in which case stamp
duty of 0.25 per cent. of the face amount thereof may be payable on each Note (up to a maximum of
250 Cayman Islands dollars (‘‘CI$’’) (U.S.$305) unless stamp duty of CI$500 (U.S.$610) has been paid
127
in respect of the entire issue of Notes. The above conversions of Cayman Islands dollars to U.S. dollars
have been made on the basis of U.S.$1.22 to CI$1.00. The holder of any Notes (or the legal personal
representative of such holder) whose Notes are brought into the Cayman Islands may in certain
circumstances be liable to pay stamp duty imposed under the laws of the Cayman Islands in respect of
such Notes. Certificates evidencing registered Notes, to which title is not transferable by delivery, will
not attract Cayman Islands stamp duty. However, an instrument transferring title to a registered Note, if
brought to or executed in the Cayman Islands, would be subject to nominal Cayman Islands stamp duty.
Income Tax; Capital Gains Tax; Estate Duty
The Cayman Islands currently have no income, corporation or capital gains tax and no estate duty,
inheritance tax or gift tax.
Tax Status of the Note Issuer
The Note Issuer has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted
company and, as such, has applied for and obtained an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the
Cayman Islands in the following form:
CAYMAN ISLANDS GOVERNMENTThe Tax Concessions Law
(1999 Revision)
Undertaking as to Tax Concessions
In accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (1999 Revision) the Governor in
Cabinet undertakes with:
KAL JAPAN ABS 6 CAYMAN LIMITED (the ‘‘Company’’)
(a) that no Law which is hereafter enacted in the Islands imposing any tax to be levied on
profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to the Company or its operations; and
(b) in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in
the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:
(i) on or in respect of the shares debentures or other obligations of the Company; or
(ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in
Section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Law (1999 Revision).
These concessions shall be for a period of TWENTY years from 29 March, 2011.
United Kingdom Taxation
The following is a summary of the United Kingdom taxation treatment at the date hereof in
relation to deduction of tax on payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes. The comments
do not address other United Kingdom tax aspects of acquiring, holding or disposing of Notes. The
comments relate only to the position of payment to persons who are absolute beneficial owners of the
Notes. It has been assumed for the purposes of the comments that there will be no substitution of the
Note Issuer. The following is a general guide and should be treated with appropriate caution.
128
Payment of Interest on the Notes
The Notes will constitute ‘‘quoted Eurobonds’’ within the terms of section 882 of the Income Tax
Act 2007 (the ‘‘Act’’) as long as they are and continue to be listed on a ‘‘recognised stock exchange’’,
as defined in section 1005 of the Act. The Irish Stock Exchange qualifies as a ‘‘recognised stock
exchange’’ for these purposes. There is no requirement to withhold or deduct for or on account of
United Kingdom tax in relation to interest payments made in respect of quoted Eurobonds. Accordingly,
provided that the Notes remain so listed when interest is paid, interest on the Notes will be payable
without withholding or deduction on account of United Kingdom tax.
Noteholders who are individuals may note that H.M. Revenue & Customs has power to obtain
information (including the name and address of the beneficial owner of the interest) from any person in
the United Kingdom who either pays interest to or receives interest for the benefit of an individual.
Information obtained may be exchanged by H.M. Revenue & Customs with the tax authorities of other
jurisdictions pursuant to applicable ‘‘Tax Information Exchange Agreements’’, double tax treaties or
European Union Directives.
European Union Savings Directive on the Taxation of Saving Income
On 1 July, 2005 all EU member states, their overseas territories (including the Cayman Islands
where the Note Issuer is incorporated) and a number of non-EU countries (each an ‘‘Applicable State’’)became subject to the provisions of the directive which was adopted by the Council of the European
Union with regard to the taxation of savings income (the ‘‘Directive’’).
The Reporting of Savings Income Information (European Union) Law 2005 (the ‘‘Law’’) gives
effect to the Directive in the Cayman Islands and bilateral agreements between the Cayman Islands and
each EU member state have been or are currently being entered into in order to implement the Directive.
The Law applies if interest payments are made by a paying agent established in the Cayman
Islands to a beneficial owner or residual entity resident for tax purposes in an EU member state. A
paying agent for such purposes is any economic operator who pays interest to, or secures the payment of
interest for, the immediate benefit of the beneficial owner, whether the operator is the debtor of the debt
claim which produces the interest or the operator charged by the debtor or the beneficial owner with
paying interest or securing the payment of interest.
Therefore, for the Law to apply in relation to the Notes:
. the paying agent must be established within the Cayman Islands;
. the beneficial owner of the notes must be an individual resident in an EU member state; and
. the interest payment must fall within the definition as set out in the relevant bilateral
agreement and must not be subject to any exclusions.
If any of these three tests fail, the Law will not apply.
As the Note Issuer has appointed the Principal Paying Agent, based in London, as paying agent in
respect of the Notes, the Law will not initially be applicable to interest payments on the Notes.
However, if at any time the Note Issuer is deemed to be the paying agent (which might occur in
the unlikely event that the Principal Paying Agent should ceases to act as the paying agent and no other
paying agent is appointed), the Law may apply to interest on the Notes. Similarly, if at any time in the
129
future the Note Issuer’s paying agent is established in an Applicable State other than the Cayman
Islands, then the Directive is likely to apply to interest payments made on the Notes and advice should
be sought from the relevant jurisdiction regarding any obligations that arise as a result.
If the Law applies, the paying agent is required to collect personal information regarding the
identity and residence of any beneficial owner who is an EU resident individual and to report such
information, together with details of the income earned on the Notes to the Financial Secretary of the
Cayman Islands. The Financial Secretary is in turn obliged to report such information to the relevant
taxing authority in the EU member state in which the beneficial owner is tax resident.
Prospective investors resident in Member States of the European Union should consult their own
legal or tax advisors regarding the consequences of the Directive in their particular circumstances.

Independent auditors’ report The Board of Directors and Stockholder Korea Development Bank We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated statements of financial position of Korea Development Bank (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related non-consolidated statements of income, appropriation of retained earnings, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these non-consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Co., Ltd., (the “Investment”), which is reflected in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements, using the equity method accounting. The investment represents 1.13% and 0.85% of the Bank’s non-consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and 16.72% and 22.38% of the Bank’s non-consolidated income before income taxes for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it related to the amounts included for the Investment is based solely on the report of other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the non-consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the non-consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall non-consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion based on our audits and the report from other auditors, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the non-consolidated financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the non-consolidated results of its financial performance, and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. Accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of financial performance, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Republic of Korea. In addition, the procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are for use by those who are knowledgeable about Korean accounting principles and auditing standards and their application in practice. March 11, 2011 This audit report is effective as of March 11, 2011, the independent auditors’ report date. Accordingly, certain material subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred during the period from the independent auditors’ report date to the time this audit report is used. Such events and circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements and may result in modifications to this report.

1. Bank information Korea Development Bank (the “Bank”) was established in 1954 in accordance with the Korea Development Bank Act of the Republic of Korea to supply and manage major industrial funds for the promotion of the industrial development and advancement of the national economy. The Bank has 47 local branches (HQ branch included), 7 overseas branches, 5 overseas subsidiaries and 2 overseas offices as of December 31, 2010. The Bank is engaged in the banking business under the Korea Development Bank Act and other related regulations and in the trust business in accordance with the Financial Investment Services and Markets Act. The Bank’s spin-off On October 28, 2009, the Bank spun off its public finance unit and financial subsidiaries business support unit into Korea Finance Corporation (“KoFC”) and KDB Financial Group Inc. (“KDBFG”), respectively, new shares of the two new entities were issued and distributed to the Bank’s stockholder at the spin-off date on a pro-rata basis, and the Bank continues its remaining operations. The Bank and the new entities will be jointly and severally liable for all liabilities existing prior to the spin-off.
On November 24, 2009, the Korea government who was also the sole equity owner of the Bank, exchanged the Bank's shares with KDBFG shares at the exchange ratio of 0.163608 KDBFG share for each 1 share of the Bank. Immediately after the completion of the share exchange, the Bank became a fully-owned subsidiary of KDBFG. The capital stock of the Bank amounts to ₩9,251,861 million as of December 31, 2010.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of financial statement preparation The Bank maintains its official accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea ( “Korean GAAP”) with the exception of overseas branches and subsidiaries, where the Bank used financial statements prepared in accordance with the financial accounting standards generally accepted in their jurisdictions, with adjustments to align with Korean GAAP if the adjustments materially affects the Bank’s financial statements. Certain accounting principles applied by the Bank that conform with financial accounting standards and accounting principles in the Republic of Korea may not conform with generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Accordingly, these financial statements are intended for use by those who are informed about Korean accounting principles and practices. In the event of any differences in interpreting the non-consolidated financial statements or the independent auditors’ report thereon, the Korean version, which is used for regulatory reporting purposes, shall prevail. The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English (with certain expanded descriptions) from the Korean language financial statements. The significant accounting policies followed by the Bank in preparing the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are summarized below. 2-1. Recognition of interest income Interest income on loans and investments is recognized on an accrual basis. However, interest income on loans overdue or dishonored is recognized on a cash basis except for those secured and guaranteed by financial institutions for which the interest is recognized on an accrual basis. 2-2. Securities Securities are classified as either trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale securities, as appropriate, and are initially measured at cost, including incidental expenses. The Bank determines the classification of its investments after initial recognition, and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at the end of each reporting period.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d)
Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Debt securities which carry fixed or determinable principal payments and a fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity, if the Bank has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Securities that are not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. After initial measurement, available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses being recognized as other comprehensive income in equity. Likewise, trading securities are also measured at fair value after initial measurement, but with unrealized gains or losses reported as part of net income. Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost after initial measurement. The cost is computed as the amount initially recognized minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, of any difference between the initially recognized amount and the maturity amount.
The fair value of trading and available-for-sale securities that are traded actively in the open market (marketable securities) is measured at the closing price of those securities at the reporting date. Non-marketable equity securities are carried at a value announced by a public independent credit rating agency. If application of such measurement method is not feasible, non-marketable equity securities are measured at cost less impairment, if any, subsequent to initial recognition. Non-marketable debt securities are carried at the present value of their future cash flows discounted using an appropriate interest rate which reflects the issuer’s credit rating, as announced by a public independent credit rating agency. When held-to-maturity securities are reclassified to available-for-sale, those securities are accounted for at fair value on the reclassification date and the difference between the fair value and book value is reported in other comprehensive income as a gain or loss on valuation of available-for sale securities. When available-for-sale securities are reclassified to held-to-maturity, gains or losses on valuation of these available-for-sale securities, which had been recorded until the reclassification date, continue to be included in other comprehensive income and are amortized using the effective interest rate method. Such amortization amount is charged to interest income until maturity. Once the reclassification is made, trading securities cannot be reclassified to available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities and vice versa except in rare circumstances only. In addition, when certain trading securities become non-marketable, such securities are reclassified to available-for-sale at fair value as of the reclassification date. If the recoverable amount of a held-to-maturity security and available-for-sale security is less than acquisition cost or carrying value, and such decline is deemed other than temporary, such security is adjusted to its recoverable amount with an impairment loss charged to the statement of income after eliminating any gains and losses previous recorded in other comprehensive income for temporary changes. A subsequent recovery is also recorded in the statement of income to the extent of the previously recorded impairment losses if such recovery is attributable to an event occurring subsequent to the recognition of the impairment losses.
2-3. Equity method investments Investments in entities over which the Bank has control or significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Investment securities which allow the Bank a significant influence over the investee are valued using the equity method of accounting. The Bank considers that it has a significant influence on an investee if the Bank holds more than 15% of voting shares.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) Under the equity method of accounting, the Bank’s initial investment in an investee is recorded at acquisition cost. Subsequently, the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to reflect the Bank’s share of income or loss of the investee in the statement of income and share of changes in equity that have been recognized directly in the equity of the investee in the related equity account of the Bank on the statement of financial position. If the Bank’s share of losses of the investee equals or exceeds its interest in the investee, it suspends recognizing its share of further losses. However, if the Bank has other long-term interests in the investee, it continues recognizing its share of further losses to the extent of the carrying amount of such long-term interests. The Bank resumes the application of the equity method if the Bank’s share of income or change in equity of an investee exceeds the Bank’s share of losses accumulated during the period of suspension of the equity method of accounting.
At the date of acquisition, the difference between the acquisition cost of the investee and the Bank’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill or negative goodwill. Goodwill is amortized over its useful life of five years using the straight-line method and the amortization expense is included as part of valuation gain or loss on equity method investments in the statement of income. Negative goodwill is amortized based on the investee’s accounting treatments on the related assets and liabilities and charged or credited to valuation gain or loss on equity method investments in the statement of income. The Bank’s share in the investee’s unrealized profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Bank and its investee is eliminated. 2-4. Allowance for possible loan losses The Bank provides an allowance for possible loan losses based on the borrowers’ future debt servicing ability (forward looking criteria) as determined by a credit rating model developed by the Bank. This credit rating model includes financial and non-financial factors of borrowers and classifies the borrowers’ credit risk. The allowance is determined by applying the following minimum percentages to the various credit risk ratings: Loan classifications Minimum provision percentages (%) Normal 0.85 Precautionary 7 Substandard 20 Doubtful 50 Expected Loss 100 2-5. Troubled debt restructuring If the present value of a loan is different from its book value due to a rescheduling of terms as agreed by the related parties (as in the case of court receivership, court mediation or workout), the difference in present value of the restructured loan payments and book value of the loan is recorded as an allowance for possible loan loss. The difference recorded as an allowance is amortized to current earnings over the related period using the effective interest rate method. The amortization is recorded as interest income. 2-6. Deferred loan fees and expenses The Bank defers and amortizes certain fees received from borrowers and expenses paid to third parties associated with originating certain loans. Such fees and expenses are amortized over the life of the associated loan using the effective interest rate method.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) 2-7. Valuation of long-term receivables (payables) at present value Receivables or payables arising from long-term installment transactions are stated at present value. The difference between the carrying amount of these receivables or payables and their present value is amortized using the effective interest rate method and credited or charged to the statement of income over the installment period. 2-8. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Expenditures which enhance the value or extend the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized as additions to property and equipment. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful life of assets: Year Buildings 20 ~ 50 Furniture and fixture 10 ~ 40 Computer equipment 4 Vehicles 4 Others 4 Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which enhance the value or extend the useful life of the related assets are capitalized. 2-9. Intangible assets Intangible assets of the Bank consist of trademarks, development costs and software, which are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of four to five years.
2-10. Impairment of assets When the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the decline in value, if material, is deducted from the carrying amount and recognized as an asset impairment loss in the current period. 2-11. Bonds purchased under resale agreement and bonds sold under repurchase agreements Bonds purchased or sold under resale or repurchase agreements are included in loans and borrowings, respectively. The difference between the selling and repurchase price is treated as interest and is accrued evenly over the period covered by the agreements. 2-12. Debenture issuance costs Debenture issuance costs are amortized as an interest expense over the redemption term using the effective interest rate method. 2-13. Accrued severance and retirement benefits In accordance with the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act and the Bank’s regulations, employees and directors terminating their employment with at least one year of service are entitled to severance and retirement benefits, based on the rates of pay in effect at the time of termination, years of service and certain other factors. The provision is determined based on the amount that would be payable assuming all employees and directors were to terminate their employment at the reporting date. The Bank’s severance and retirement benefits are partly funded through an insurance plan with Samsung Life Insurance, Korea Exchange Bank and LIG Fire Insurance.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) 2-14. Provisions and contingent liabilities Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made on the amount of the obligation. The provision is used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognized. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at present value.
Confirmed acceptances and guarantees, unconfirmed acceptances and guarantees and bills endorsed are not recognized on the statement of financial position, but are disclosed as off-statement of financial position items in the notes to the financial statements. The Bank provides a provision for such off-statement of financial position items, applying a Credit Conversion Factor (“CCF”) and provision rates, and records the provision as an allowance for possible losses on acceptances and guarantees. The Bank provides a provision for a certain portion of unused loan commitments. The Bank records the provision for such unused balances as an allowance for possible losses on unused loan commitments which are calculated by applying a CCF and the minimum required provision percentage given by the Regulation on the Supervision of Banking Business. 2-15. Income taxes Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from, or paid to, the tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method for the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In addition, current and deferred taxes are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are charged or credited directly to equity. Starting from 2010, KDBFG, the parent company, has adopted a consolidated tax return policy, which is a tax payment system based on the consolidated taxable income (“Consolidated Tax Return”). Any changes in income taxes due to the adoption of Consolidated Tax Return are adjusted to income tax expense account (refer to Note 19). 2-16. Translation of foreign currency and financial statements of overseas branches Transactions involving foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the time the transactions are made. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Korean won using the exchange rates provided by Seoul Money Brokerage Service, Ltd., which are in effect on the reporting date. The resulting translation gains or losses are credited or charged to current operations. Accounting records of the overseas branches are maintained in foreign currencies. In translating financial statements of the overseas branches, the Bank applies the appropriate rate of exchange at the reporting date.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) 2-17. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are presented as assets or liabilities valued principally at the fair value of the rights or obligations associated with the derivative contracts. The unrealized gain or loss from a derivative transaction with the purpose of hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or unrecognized firm commitment is recognized in current operations. For a derivative instrument with the purpose of hedging the exposure to the variability of cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction, the hedge-effective portion of the derivative instrument’s gain or loss is deferred as other comprehensive income in equity. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is charged or credited to current operations. Derivative instruments that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, or contracts for which the Bank has not elected hedge accounting are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported in current operations. 2-18. Accounting for the trust accounts The Bank recognizes, in accordance with the Financial Investment Services and Markets Act, trust fees earned from the trust accounts as income from trust operations. If losses are incurred on trust accounts that have a guarantee of principal repayment, the losses are recognized as a loss from trust operations. 2-19. Changes in accounting estimates The Bank changed its accounting estimate relating to impairment loss on investment securities in 2009 in order to better reflect the Bank’s investment securities position and enhance comparability to other banks. Impairment loss on securities recognized in 2009 amounted to ₩361,117 million. 2-20. Significant judgments and accounting estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Korean GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

and implementation status 25-1. Plan and progress of K-IFRS adoption The Bank will adopt K-IFRS for the first time for the financial period beginning after January 1, 2011. As part of the Bank’s K-IFRS implementation plan, the Bank appointed an external advisor to identify and report on the differences between the current accounting standards and K-IFRS related to the Bank. The Bank also formed a task force team in March 2008. Following the completion of identification of accounting policy differences described above, the Bank had conducted the detailed analysis of its financial reporting system requirement and accounting policy changes impacted by the adoption of K-IFRS until August 2008. Based on results of the above analysis, the Bank has finalized the K-IFRS accounting policies to be adopted and mapped out changes to its accounting information system to capture and produce information under K-IFRS. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank has substantially completed the process of developing its accounting information system and modifying its processes that are affected by the adoption of K-IFRS, and the related internal control processes have been reassessed for a smooth transition to K-IFRS. The task force team regularly reports the preparation plans and implementation progress to the Bank’s management and training programs are also regularly provided to the Bank’s employees to develop K-IFRS trained-resources within the Bank.
The Bank has been preparing its financial statements under K-IFRS since the date of transition and onwards, and management of the Bank expects that financial information for the fiscal year 2010 and after will be conformed to K-IFRS.
25-2. First time adoption of K-IFRS

Therefore, the Bank has prepared its opening K-IFRS statement of financial position in accordance with K-IFRS 1101 First-Time Adoption as of January 1, 2010. When preparing the Bank’s opening K-IFRS statement of financial position, some exemptions from other K-IFRS and exceptions to the retrospective application of other K-IFRS have been applied..

Section K-IFRS K-GAAP
Allowance for possible loan losses
For loans and receivables of which impairment has been objectively incurred, the allowance for possible loan losses is measured at the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Bank 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.
The Bank provides an allowance for possible loan losses using the minimum required provision percentage given by the Regulation on the Supervision of Banking Industry.
Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer 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 original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contract is recognized as a liability and measured at fair value. After initial recognition, the liability will be measured at the higher of: (a) the provision for liability amount for the financial guarantee contract (b) the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization

Internal control over financial reporting review report The Chief Executive Officer KDB
We have reviewed the accompanying management’s report on the operations of the internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) of Korea Development Bank (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2010. The Bank’s management is responsible for the design and operations of its ICFR, including the reporting of its operations. Our responsibility is to review management’s ICFR report and issue a report based on our review. Management’s report on the operations of the ICFR of the Bank states that “Based on the assessment of the operations of the ICFR, the Bank’s ICFR has been effectively designed and has operated as of December 31, 2010, in all material respects, in accordance with the ICFR standard.” We conducted our review in accordance with the ICFR review standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These standards require that we plan and perform our review to obtain less assurance than an audit as to management’s report on the operations of the ICFR. A review includes the procedures of obtaining an understanding of the ICFR, inquiring as to management’s report on the operations of the ICFR and performing a review of related documentation within limited scope, if necessary. The Bank’s ICFR consists of an establishment of related policies and organization to ensure that it is designed to provide reasonable assurance on the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external financial reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of Korea. However, because of its inherent limitations, the ICFR may not prevent or detect material misstatements of the financial statements. Also, projections of any assessment of the ICFR on future periods are subject to the risk that ICFR may become inadequate due to the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may be significantly reduced. Based on our review of management’s report on the operations of the ICFR, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that management’s report referred to above is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the ICFR standards. We conducted our review of the ICFR in place as of December 31, 2010, and we did not review the ICFR subsequent to December 31, 2010. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes pursuant to the Act on External Audit for Stock Companies, and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users. March 11, 2011
This report is annexed in relation to the audit of the financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and the review of internal accounting control system pursuant to Article 2-3 of the Act on External Audit for Stock Companies of the Republic of Korea.
