We employ over 300 professionals, including more than 60 licensed in jurisdictions outside of Korea. Our perspective is international and our reach is global. We represent clients from six continents and have helped companies expand around the globe. We strive to provide the most innovative solutions to the complex legal challenges confronting our clients. Yulchon has become an acknowledged market leader in the development and practice of law. We are known for our high standards of excellence, our culture of collaborative problem solving, and our strong relationships with government agencies and other leading international advisors. We are frequently retained to negotiate multi-billion dollar transactions, to help draft new legislation and regulations, and to represent clients in high-stakes adversarial proceedings. Applying a combination of teamwork, skill, and strong relationships with government agencies and international law firms, Yulchon maintains itself on the cutting edge of Korean law and is frequently acknowledged as the law firm to retain to negotiate precedent-setting transactions and to draft new legislation. In particular, Yulchon s tax group is widely regarded as the best tax practice group in Korea. The tax group advises clients on all aspects of domestic and international taxation, including some of the most sophisticated tax planning, compliance, and dispute resolution matters. Our tax attorneys and tax advisors have extensive expertise and experience in tax litigation and have obtained many favorable tax rulings for our clients in administrative and court proceedings, resulting in the satisfactory settlement of tax controversies and the procurement of special credits, deductions, and tax holidays for clients inbound investments. In addition, our tax group works closely with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and the National Tax Service and has been at the forefront of the development of tax law in Korea with respect to transfer pricing, sourcing rules, and withholding taxes.

4 5 Tax Practice Yulchon s Tax Group consistently ranks among Korea s top tier practices, and our leading attorneys have been recognized globally by various publications for their quality work. AsianCounsel, a leading international journal for corporate counsel, has consistently ranked Yulchon as the Firm of the Year for taxation in Korea. The award is based on a survey of in-house counsel at major enterprises in over 60 countries in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions. The tax group was also ranked No.1 in the tax field by both the Asia Pacific Legal 500, part of the Legal 500 series published worldwide for over 20 years, and the Tax Directors Handbook based on interviews and votes of over 5,000 tax practitioners worldwide. The Handbook highlights Yulchon s tax partner, Sai Ree Yun, as Korea s best known tax expert, and acknowledges the tax group s involvement in Samsung General Chemicals joint venture with Atofina of France valued at US$755 million. Yulchon also received the Tax Controversy Firm of the Year Award from the International Tax Review. Domestically, the Korea Economics Daily ranked Yulchon as the Most Preferred Law Firm in the Tax Area based on its survey of a number of legal departments of major Korean corporations, and recognized Dong Soo Kim, a senior tax partner, as the Best of the Best in the tax field. In another survey by Chosun Ilbo, a leading and influential daily newspaper, 19 out of 30 legal departments of the largest Korean corporations voted Yulchon as having the best tax practice. In stark contrast, no other firms received more than two votes. The tax group is composed of highly qualified professionals who are recognized as leading authorities and experts in the tax field. The members of our tax group have acquired their extensive experience in the course of their practice at major law firms both in Korea and abroad. The tax group also includes former government officials and renowned professors of tax law. This collective experience, together with the firm s close ties with the National Tax Service, the Tax Tribunal, and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, places Yulchon s tax group in the best position to advise and represent its clients. The tax group has a broad-based international and domestic tax practice and excels at multi-jurisdictional transactions. The tax group provides all manner of tax planning, dispute resolution, legislative, administrative and policy-related services to numerous clients including corporations, financial institutions, and individuals. More specifically, Yulchon s tax group has substantial experiences in planning, structuring, and negotiating tax aspects of all types of domestic and cross-border transactions, including corporate financing, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, reorganizations, structured finance, and derivative transactions. The tax group has assisted multinational clients in the development and implementation of programs to achieve worldwide tax efficiency through various techniques, including the use of the tax treaty network, hybrid instruments, tax deferral techniques, amendments to inter-company transfer pricing policies, the establishment of asset-based financing structures, and structured financial products.

6 7 The tax group also acts as advisors to the Korean government in its efforts to restructure and better administer the tax laws. Recently, the group spearheaded several legislative projects in the international tax and transfer pricing fields, which led to successful implementation of major Korean tax law amendments. Further, our tax professionals share their expertise with tax practitioners worldwide through speaking engagements sponsored by international organizations, such as the In-House Congress, Capital Markets Tax Committee of Asia (CMTC), International Fiscal Association (IFA), American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) and European Union Chamber of Commerce in Korea (EUUCK). They also author articles and chapters in leading legal treatises, such as IBFD, Kluwer and International Tax Review, on topics including Korean M&A taxation and the taxation of investment funds. Yulchon s client list includes many major international and domestic companies, such as Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, General Electric, Coca-Cola, LVMH, NBC Universal, Seagate Technology, Hyundai Motor Company, E-Land, POSCO, Hyundai Securities, Kookmin Bank, Korea Development Bank, the Carlyle Group, the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation, LG Electronics, Samsung Corporation, Samsung Life Insurance, SK Corporation, SK Telecom, Procter & Gamble and Siemens, among others. Representative deals in which Yulchon provided tax counsel include the following: Seagate Technology plc s US$1.4 billion acquisition of the hard disk drive business of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.; Eugene Corporation s US$2 billion acquisition of Hi-mart Co., Ltd., the largest retailer of electronic goods in Korea, from Affinity Equity Partners in a leveraged buyout transaction; Morgan Stanley s US$984 million acquisition of the Daewoo Center Building from Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd.; and Macquarie Securities Korea Limited s US$2.7 billion acquisition of Megabox, Inc. through Korea Multiplex Investment Corporation. Our major tax practice areas are summarized below. 1. Joint Venture and Investment Funds We have represented clients in establishing joint ventures in a broad range of business contexts, from investment funds to operating joint ventures between large corporate entities and start-up ventures among individuals. We have extensive experience in the application of tax treaties and the use of offshore centers to achieve tax efficiencies. As mentioned above, we advised Samsung General Chemicals (SGC) in its establishment of Samsung Atofina, a joint venture with Atofina of France, via in-kind contribution of SGC s business valued at US$755 million. Our tax group played a major role in devising the most tax efficient means to establish this joint venture. We also advised Samsung Atofina in its issuance of tax-efficient bonds overseas. 2. Mergers and Acquisitions In both cross-border and single-country deals, our tax attorneys are extensively involved in negotiating a diverse range of business transfers and corporate restructurings. Our practice group puts our analytical abilities to work to structure tax-free or tax efficient reorganizations including acquisitions, combinations, and spin-offs. Yulchon advised Seagate Technology plc (Seagate) on the successful closing of the US$1.4 billion acquisition of the hard disk drive (HDD) business of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung Electronics) pursuant to the broad strategic agreement entered into by Samsung Electronics and Seagate. The project required a range of advice on domestic and overseas tax implications, and the tax group provided and implemented a variety of solutions to minimize various tax exposures in relation to transaction itself, post-transaction structuring, and transfer pricing. Our Firm was also involved as counsel in the merger of Kookmin Bank and Housing & Commercial Bank. This merger was the largest M&A deal in Korean corporate history, with a total asset value of approximately US$121 billion. The tax group was brought in at an early stage of this deal to analyze the conditions of the two banks from a tax perspective and to work closely with the firm s corporate group in structuring the transaction to achieve the best possible tax result for the merger.

8 9 3. Transfer Pricing As a premier provider of transfer pricing advice for transactions between affiliated companies, Yulchon helps clients avoid double taxation. Transfer pricing work often falls under the auspices of income tax treaties, which requires as much diplomacy in working with various tax authorities as tax expertise. We advise on a wide spectrum of transfer pricing issues for many multinational enterprises, which currently include a world-renowned luxury goods manufacturer and a semiconductor manufacturer. In addition to representing clients in transfer pricing controversies, our tax group also provides advice on avoiding controversies and penalties on transfer pricing adjustments and helping clients obtain advance pricing agreements. Transfer pricing seems to be a particularly troublesome area for many of our clients. Some of the more significant transfer pricing work that we have done include advising a major Korean car manufacturer in negotiating and entering into a bilateral advance pricing arrangement with the U.S. and Korean governments, negotiating the management fees payable to headquarters for a multinational marketing company with the Korean tax authorities, and winning the first transfer pricing case involving royalties for film distribution in Korea for one of the top global film distributors. 4. Financial Products and Services Our tax group has extensive experience with the tax aspects of financial products and derivatives transactions. Working with issuers, underwriters, and investors, we advise clients on numerous types of securities offerings, including issuances of high-yield debt, structured notes, common stock, preferred stock, and asset-backed securities. We focus on the examination of tax issues for such offerings and the creation of tax-efficient structures. Some of the more innovative tax work that we have done in this area was in connection with Korean Air Lines issuance of 27 billion in Japanese Secured Variable Rate Bonds securitized by future airline ticket receivables-to our knowledge the first cross-border securitization of future receivables effected in Korea. This transaction involved a multi-tier structure and the use of swap transactions to minimize taxes. We also advised on the tax structuring of SK Corporation s issuance of US$1.25 billion in guaranteed exchangeable bonds that involved many uncharted tax issues in Korea. This deal won the IFLR Debt and Equity Linked Deal of the Year Award. Also, we have advised a major investment bank in establishing the first multi-series, multi-currency commercial paper conduit in Korea. This project took over a year to complete due to various tax and other legal hurdles, and to our knowledge it has not been duplicated by any other party in Korea. In addition, Yulchon has been a pioneer in the issuances of asset backed securities and the application of the tax benefits under Korea s Asset Backed Securitization Act, and our firm has unsurpassed experience in this area. For example, one of the largest deals that we have worked on involved a major investment bank s structuring and entering into a program for the sale and management of non-performing loans with an outstanding principal balance of 10 trillion won (approximately US$8 billion at the time) under a multi-tier ABS structure. This transaction is one of the largest and most sophisticated non-performing loan transactions in Korean history.

10 11 5. Wealth Management Practice This practice requires a wide range of tax law knowledge and a skillful approach to planning for income tax, inheritance tax, gift tax, and acquisition tax. Our tax professionals are exceptional in this area and share their experience and expertise through speaking at private seminars, as well as government-sponsored conferences for Koreans residing overseas. Closely-held businesses and high net-worth individuals often have to deal with extremely complex tax issues, particularly those materially affected by the ever-changing tax regimes of numerous jurisdictions. The tax group advises these clients on general tax planning, utilization of trusts, insurance, and the use of independent appraisals, and helps them develop an overall estate plan that allows a tax-efficient transfer of assets. The group also counsels non-resident individuals and corporations in connection with their worldwide investments and the structuring of the ownership and control of entities. 6. Legislative and Administrative Practice Our tax lawyers are effective advocates for our clients positions on tax issues. Several members of our firm have held senior government positions and have advised the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and the National Tax Service. With this first-hand knowledge of the government, our lawyers can work effectively on a variety of matters involving tax planning and resolving controversies. Our group s long-standing relationship with government agencies helps facilitate productive discussions with officials of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance or National Tax Service on new and unusual issues encountered in domestic and international transactions. One of our ongoing efforts in this arena includes working with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance to comprehensively reform the transfer pricing tax regime in Korea, whereby we conduct in-depth studies and comparative analyses on transfer pricing regimes of other developed countries, as well as OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and propose the draft provisions for tax law amendments. In addition, our group has advised the Ministry of Strategy and Finance in connection with ongoing tax treaty negotiations with the US. Furthermore, we successfully spearheaded the tax legislative support project which led to amendment of the Korean tax laws and regulations to allow deduction for cost of equity stock compensation such as stock options and stock awards (via stock of the parent company or head office) provided to employees of the Korean subsidiary or branch. 7. Tax Controversy Our tax group has substantial experience in the resolution of tax controversies with the Korean tax authorities. We assist clients with their tax audits and represent clients in tax controversies before the National Tax Service and in civil and criminal tax trials and appeals in the Korean courts, including the Constitutional Court. We also advise corporations and their tax and legal advisers on procedural issues and disputes with the National Tax Service. We earned a Supreme Court victory for our client Samsung Engineering, Inc. in a tax refund case involving employee stock options. The Supreme Court of Korea decided that the gain on the exercise of employee stock options over the exempt threshold is not per se taxable to the company. We successfully represented our client against the Tax office at trial, intermediate appeal, and final appeal, all within 15 months of the start of litigation. Also, in a recent tax appeal before the Tax Tribunal, we successfully represented a major multinational beverage company, we won full cancellation of VAT valued approximately KRW 9.8 billion imposed on the company by the National Tax Service. We also successfully represented a client in a landmark constitutional case challenging the constitutionality of the legislation on land profit tax and secondary liability for majority shareholders, obtaining a ruling that the legislation was unconstitutional. We also successfully represented the Hyundai Group in a case involving the transfer of stock prior to the listing of the stock, thereby saving our client over KRW 100 billion in taxes. More recently, we successfully represented a major life insurance company before the Tax Tribunal in a case involving revaluation of property held by the company, where the tax amount in dispute was approximately US$220 billion. We received a ruling of the Tax Tribunal in our client s favor for the abatement of penalty taxes in the amount of approximately US$114 million.

12 13 Yulchon successfully represented a major U.S.-based financial institution at the Supreme Court of Korea in its appeal of the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) imposed on its purchase of depository receipts for shares issued by a Korean financial institution. The relevant issue was whether the term stock in the Securities Transaction Tax Act implicitly includes the concept of depository receipts. At the district court level, the Seoul Administrative Court held that the STT assessment should be cancelled on the ground that stock and depository receipts are clearly distinguishable for STT purposes and the relevant tax provision must be interpreted strictly according to the literal meaning of the terms used. Upon losing at the Seoul Administrative Court, the National Tax Service of Korea appealed to the Seoul High Court which also found for the taxpayer. Later, the Supreme Court rendered a decision in favor of the taxpayer, accepting the rationale employed by the lower courts. Our tax controversy services are not confined to domestic dispute resolutions; we represent multinational enterprises in Mutual Agreement Procedures (MAP) as well. Recently, our tax group successfully represented a multinational semiconductor manufacturer in a MAP between the Hungarian and Korean competent authorities under the Hungary-Korea tax treaty. 8. Real Estate Yulchon has a dominant and cutting-edge real estate practice. This has been due in part to the tax group s close collaboration with the firm s real estate group in coming up with innovative real estate acquisition and financing structures to minimize taxes. Our firm was an early pioneer in the structuring of loans in the form of ABS bond issuances to finance real estate acquisitions to obtain tax benefits provided under Korea s Asset Backed Securitization Act and the use of trusts to acquire and sell real estate. We used this structure to assist a foreign client in the acquisition of the Star Tower building valued at over US$500 million, the largest international real estate transaction in Korea. 9. Customs Yulchon assists its clients in navigating the intricacies of Korean customs procedures and helps clients resolve customs duty audits and controversies. Our firm also helps clients in the use and establishment of customs bonded areas. The firm s close relationship with the Korean Customs Service and a variety of customs brokerage firms ensures our ability to work through the customs bureaucracy to quickly resolve problems and also allows our firm to keep up with the latest news and developments in the customs arena. Recently, we successfully represented several major international software and technology companies with their customs audit and valuation of software products. We also represented P&G Korea in the first-ever Advance Customs Valuation Arrangement (ACVA) with the Korea Customs Service since the introduction of the ACVA system.
