Conglomerates How major shareholders are navigating inheritance taxes I. Inherent tax status of major conglomerate groups Overweight (Maintain) 1. OCI Group: Inheritance taxes on former chairman Lee Soo-young’s 10.9% stake in OCI are estimated to be W174.5bn. His heirs, including Vice Chairman Lee Woo-hyun, have Industry Report raised the funds to pay the taxes by selling some of their shares in April. June 11, 2019 2. LG Group: Inheritance taxes on former chairman Koo Bon-moo’s 11.3% stake in LG Corp. are estimated to be W921.5bn. Of this, Chairman Koo Kwang-mo owes W716.2bn. We believe Chairman Koo will sell some of his shares in LG Corp. after taking steps to enhance the company’s value. Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. 3. Doosan Group: Inheritance taxes on former chairman Park Yong-gon’s 1.6% stake in [Conglomerates/Software ] Doosan Corp. are estimated to be W17.9bn. His heirs, including Chairman Park Jeong-won, sold part of their shares in Doosan Corp. in May to pay their tax bill. Dae -ro Jeong +822 -3774 -1634 4. Hanjin Group: Inheritance taxes on former chairman Cho Yang-ho’s 17.8% stake in [email protected] Hanjin KAL are estimated to be W279.7bn. The deadline for reporting the inheritance taxes is October. We believe the taxes will be paid through long-term installments using share pledges, as well as through the sale of stakes in non-core subsidiaries. II. How inheritance taxes are calculated - Inheritance taxes are calculated by applying a 10-50% tax rate to the tax basis, which is the taxable value of the inherited property, minus deductions. - Inheritance taxes on listed shares are based on the average daily closing pric e during the two-month period before and after the assessment date. - When a company’s shares are inherited to its largest shareholder, a 10-30% premium is imposed, depending on the shareholder’s equity stake and size of the company. - If certain condi tions are met, beneficiaries can apply to pay their inheritance taxes in short-term installments, long-term installments, or in kind. III. How inheritance taxes are funded - Inheritance taxes can be funded through stake sales or share pledges. This ul timately incentivizes holding and controlling companies to increase dividend payments. IV. Restrictions on inheritance through the use of public interest corporations - Regulators and lawmakers are currently seeking to limit the voting power of conglomerate- owned public interest corporations in affiliates. V. Samsung Group’s inheritance taxes - Inheritance taxes on Chairman Lee Kun-hee’s stakes in publicly traded Samsung companies, including a 4.2% stake in Samsung Electronics (SEC), are estimated to reach around W9tr. - Given the huge tax bill, we believe a sale of SEC shares is inevitable. But even with the sale, the group’s control in the company will remain essentially unchanged.

LG Group 1) Inheritance tax estimation Former chairman Koo Bon-moo passed away in May 2018. Inheritance taxes on the former chairman’s 11.3% stake in LG Corp. are estimated to be W921.5bn. Taxable value and tax basis were filed in November 2018. The first payment (W153.6bn) of the inheritance taxes has been made. 2) How inheritance taxes are funded Of the total inheritance taxes, Chairman Koo Kwang-mo owes W716.2bn. He has applied for payment in long-term installments. Of note, he has sold a 7.5% stake in Pantos and made share pledges to make the first installment payment of inheritance taxes. Currently, the controlling family has stable control of LG Corp., with their combined stake standing at 46.6%. As such, we expect Chairman Koo Kwang-mo to sell some of its stake in LG Corp. (15%) to fund the remaining inheritance taxes. Before the stake sale, we believe that he will need to boost the enterprise value of LG Corp. In addition, LG Corp. could gradually increase dividend payouts. Table 2.

    Oil Refining/Chemicals Positioning for 2015

    Oil Refining/Chemicals Positioning for 2015 Limited recovery expected until year-end; Top picks are LG Chem, Hyosung, Neutral (Downgrade) Toray Chemical, & SK Innovation The chemicals industry has slowed since mid-August, largely due to: 1) weakening Industry Report demand from China and Europe, 2) oversupply of non-ethylene and downstream October 6, 2014 products, and 3) uncertainty over China’s economic policies. Supply is likely to expand further once the peak season ends and naphtha cracking center (NCC) maintenance is completed; therefore, the market is forecast to remain rather stagnant until year-end . Daewoo Securities CCCo.,Co., Ltd. Meanwhile, oil refining margins and oil prices have fallen due to tepid demand from emerging markets. Further d eclines seem unlikely, but we also do not expect any sharp [Oil Refining/Chemicals] recovery, given 1) structural demand contraction, and 2) capacity expansions scheduled Yeon-ju Park for year-end or early next year in the Middle East. +822-768-3061 We maintain LG Chem, Hyosung, Toray Chemical Korea, and SK Innovation (attractively [email protected] valued) as our top picks. These stocks are likely to perform strongly in spite of Young-jee Bae unfavorable market conditions. +822-768-4123 Positioning for 2015 [email protected] We present the following investment strategies to counter the deteriorating market conditions. 1) Hyosung’s polyketone business deserves attention. Hyosung (Buy/TP: W95,000) is the first company to commercially produce polyketone. Its use of carbon monoxide and ethylene/propylene as feedstock has dramatically reduced production costs. Polyketone produced at Hyosung’s pilot facilities received positive feedback from several customers (including European compounding companies).
