2021-04-27 11:50
LIBOR Transition and Financial Risks - Kookmin Bank aims to transition away from LIBOR by amending existing agreements to alternative reference rates by Q3 2021 and cease using LIBOR in new agreements by the end of 2021[114]. - The transition from LIBOR could lead to increased financial, operational, and legal risks, particularly for contracts maturing after the announced deadlines[115]. Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Compliance - As of December 31, 2020, Kookmin Bank's common equity Tier I capital adequacy ratio was 13.30%, exceeding the minimum requirement of 8.0%[127]. - The implementation of Basel III regulations may significantly affect the capital requirements for Kookmin Bank and other Korean financial institutions[128]. - The company may require additional capital in the future to comply with stricter capital adequacy and regulatory requirements, which may not be obtainable on favorable terms[129]. - Kookmin Bank's capital adequacy ratios may deteriorate if asset quality declines, particularly in retail loans and loans to small- and medium-sized enterprises[127]. Market and Economic Conditions - Interest rates in Korea have fluctuated significantly, with the Bank of Korea lowering its policy rate to 0.50% in May 2020 in response to economic conditions, which could impact the company's debt securities portfolio and funding costs[130]. - A sustained increase in interest rates could lead to a decline in the value of the company's debt securities and increase the interest costs for retail and corporate borrowers, potentially affecting their repayment ability[131]. - The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the Korean economy, which may affect the company's performance and operational strategies[146]. - Fluctuations in global financial markets and commodity prices have contributed to uncertainty in the Korean economy, potentially affecting the company's financial condition[147]. - Developments such as declines in consumer confidence and severe health pandemics could adversely impact the Korean economy and, consequently, the company's business[149]. - The unemployment rate in Korea increased from 3.8% in 2018 and 2019 to 4.0% in 2020, indicating potential economic difficulties[152]. Operational and Compliance Challenges - Strengthened consumer protection laws in Korea may limit the company's operational flexibility and increase compliance costs, potentially affecting business performance[136]. - The company is subject to regulatory scrutiny, and if deemed financially unsound, it may face burdensome measures that could adversely affect its operations and financial condition[141]. - The bank's risk management strategies may be limited in effectiveness during significant market stress or unforeseen circumstances[112]. - Kookmin Bank's operations are subject to increasing cyber security risks, which could lead to financial losses and reputational damage[124]. Market Dynamics and Investment Risks - The Korean National Pension Service held approximately 9.93% of the total issued common stock as of December 31, 2020, which may impact market dynamics if sold[153]. - The KRX KOSPI Market experienced substantial fluctuations, with the KOSPI at 3,217.5 on April 26, 2021, reflecting market volatility[164]. - The market value of investments in ADSs may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Korean securities market, which is more volatile than U.S. and European markets[164]. - The economic impact of geopolitical tensions, particularly with North Korea, could pose risks to market stability[156]. - The Korean government has historically influenced the private sector, which could lead to sudden movements in market prices[165]. Lending Practices and Household Debt - The Korean government may promote lending to specific sectors, which could influence the company's lending practices and financial support decisions[137]. - Increased household debt and rising delinquencies among borrowers could adversely affect the financial condition of Korean companies[152]. - The potential for labor unrest in Korea may adversely affect operations and financial conditions of companies[152]. - The Korean government may impose restrictions on converting and remitting dividends in U.S. dollars during emergency circumstances, affecting cash flows[167]. - Ownership of common stock is restricted under Korean law, with limits set at 10.0% for single stockholders and 4.0% for non-financial business group companies[155].
