Kookmin Bank will sell its entire stake of 87% in KITMC to funds lead by Morgan Stanley Global Emerging Market Inc. and affiliated funds for 44 billion Won. The 87% stake is equivalent to 5.22 million shares.

As it possesses two investment trust management companies as a result of the merger between former Kookmin Bank and H&CB, Kookmin Bank has decided to sell KITMC in order to avoid duplicate investment.

Upon completion of the disposition, Kookmin Bank shall have fourteen subsidiaries with assets totaling 13,422 billion Won based on their preliminary results.
