Greetings,

I am Kim, Jeong Kag,
President and CEO of the Korea Securities
Finance Corporation (KSFC).

Established in 1955, the KSFC is proudly celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. As a
trusted partner that has grown alongside the capital market and investors, we have built a
legacy of trust over the past seven decades. The anniversary holds even greater meaning
as we look forward to an even brighter future.

As the only specialized securities finance company in Korea, the KSFC plays a unique and
vital role in the capital market. Our key functions include ensuring the smooth supply of
funds and securities to the market, safely and efficiently managing investors’ deposits, and
supporting various services such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans, intermediation for
securities lending and borrowing, and custody.

In particular, the KSFC has consistently served as a reliable safety net for the market in
times of financial crisis. We contributed significantly to stabilizing the securities market
during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and the COVID-19
pandemic in 2020 through timely and effective liquidity support.

Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our liquidity provision capabilities
while expanding our global business and accelerating digital transformation to secure
sustainable growth. At the same time, we are committed to reinforcing internal controls
and enhancing operational soundness to fulfill our role as a core financial institution in the
Korean capital market.

With 70 years of shared trust as our foundation, we are committed to paving the way for a
better future together. We sincerely appreciate your continued interest and support.
