Disclosure regarding Subscription Rights of Kumho Investment Bank


On June 7, 2013, Woori Finance Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) disclosed that
the Company has decided not to purchase additional subscription rights for Kumho
Investment Bank shares (outside of its planned participation in the public
offering of unsubscribed Kumho Investment Bank shares).

As previously disclosed, the Company may choose not to participate in the
proposed public offering or complete the purchase of unsubscribed Kumho
Investment Bank shares in such public offering if, due to a high level of
participation by existing shareholders or other investors, the Company expects
that it will not be able to obtain a 30% or above shareholding (i.e., the
minimum percentage required for subsidiary treatment under Article 43-2(1) of
the Financial Holding Companies Act of Korea) in Kumho Investment Bank through
its participation in the proposed public offering.
