 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Matters Relating to the Amendment to the Progressive Electricity Rate Structure for the Residential Sector
and the Electricity Tariff System </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">1. Regarding the Amendment to the Progressive Electricity Rate Structure for the Residential Sector </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The government of the Republic of Korea (the &#147;Government&#148;) and Korea Electric Power Corporation (&#147;KEPCO&#148;) have formed a taskforce
consisting of members from the public and the private sectors (the &#147;Taskforce&#148;) to (i)&nbsp;reduce the Korean citizens&#146; residential electricity charges during the summer resulting from the progressive electricity rate structure for
the residential sector and (ii)&nbsp;assess various proposals to amend such progressive rate structure. As requested by the Government, the Board of Directors of KEPCO has reviewed the final recommendation by the Taskforce on June&nbsp;28, 2019. The
final recommendation by the Taskforce consists of raising the use ceilings of the first two tiers of the current three-tier tariff system in July and August (the first tier&#146;s ceiling to increase by 100 kilowatt hours and the second tier&#146;s
ceiling to increase by 50 kilowatt hours). The proposed amendment is expected to take effect from July 2019 upon the approval by the Government. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Along
with the efforts to reduce the residential electricity charges during the summer, KEPCO also plans to prepare a proposition for a sustainable tariff system that does not impose a financial burden on KEPCO. The proposition is aimed to be prepared by
the first half of 2020 and will include (i)&nbsp;a reasonable adjustment of the rate discount applicable for the residential customers with low electricity usage and (ii)&nbsp;an introduction of the tariff system to the residential sector that is
responsive to the demand in a given season or time (the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;time-of-use</FONT></FONT> tariff&#148;). KEPCO has requested the Government&#146;s cooperation in this regard. The
Government has stated that it will take measures pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations if KEPCO (i)&nbsp;conducts fact-finding studies including investigating the relationship between the use of electricity and consumer income,
(ii)&nbsp;devises a supplement policy for the economically or otherwise disadvantaged customers and (iii)&nbsp;requests an approval for an adjustment of the rate discount applicable for residential customers with low electricity usage and an
introduction of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">time-of-use</FONT></FONT> tariff to the residential sector by the first half of 2020. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2. Regarding the Amendment to the Electricity Tariff System </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors of KEPCO resolved the matters set out below in order to mitigate KEPCO&#146;s financial loss incurred by the pending amendment to the
tariff system, and to alleviate the financial burden on KEPCO, as well as to implement a reasonable electricity tariff system and to enhance the predictability in regards to the electricity tariff system for the investors. Details of the agenda
proposed by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-standing</FONT> director and resolved by the Board of Directors of KEPCO are as follows: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
