Evaluation Method

Evaluation Method
Average Score Calculation of Exercisable Option
Less than 60 points Stock option cancelled.

- Stock options resulting from multiplying the number of stock options granted by average score exercised.

- Options granted = (Number of options granted)×(Average score / 100)

5. Method of Exercise

TKookmin Bank may choose to grant shares by means of: 1) issuing new shares; 2) granting treasury shares; or 3) granting cash or treasury shares for the difference between the exercise price and the market price.

6. Exercise Price

6.1. i) Auditor & Executive Director and ii) Non-Executive Directors, lined to stock price indices.

Formula

Exercise price = 35,500 Won x (1 + rate of increase for KOSPI banking industry index x 0.4)

Rate of increase for KOSPI banking industry index = (KOSPI banking industry index as of the start of exercise period*-KOSPI banking industry index as of the date of grant) / KOSPI banking industry index as of the date of grant.

* KOSPI banking industry index as of the date of resignation is used in the event any grantee resigns during the course of three years.

Less than 100 Won of the calculated price is to be rounded up. Any negative rate of increase for KOSPI banking industry index is not reflected in the calculation.

6.2. Executive Vice Presidents and the Heads of Regional Headquarters: 35,500 Won

7. Exercise Period

The exercise period is from March 22, 2006 to March 21, 2011.

8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Options

In the event of any right offering, stock dividend, transfer of reserves to capital, stock split, reverse split, or merger, which require adjustments of the price or the numbers of stock after the option grant date, adjustment shall be made as needed in accordance with the resolutions reached by the Board of Directors for, i.e., number of options and the exercise price.

9. Adjustment Following Resignation

If any grantee resigns or ceases employment with the Bank within three years from the date of grant, the exercisable number of options shall be adjusted according to the full number of calendar days. Less than a single share is rounded down.

Formula

Granted Options x Number of Days Actually Worked / 3 Years
