Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) will hold its annual ordinary general meeting of shareholders (“AGM”) on March 30, 2018, which is one of what is known in Korea as “Super AGM Days” on account of the fact that many publicly traded companies in Korea hold their AGMs toward the end of March. The Financial Services Commission of Korea (the “FSC”) encourages publicly traded companies in Korea to hold their AGMs on a day other than a Super AGM Day in order to facilitate shareholder attendance at AGMs, and under the FSC guidelines KEPCO is required to publicly disclose why it will hold its AGM on a Super AGM Day. It is necessary for KEPCO to hold this year’s AGM on a Super AGM Day mainly due to scheduling concerns related to the finalization of its consolidated financial statements as well as impending needs to approve major business and operational decisions.
