Tender Offer for CJ HelloVision’s Common Shares

On November 2, 2015, SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) determined that it will conduct a tender offer of common shares of CJ HelloVision Co., Ltd. (“CJ HelloVision”).

The Company entered into a share purchase agreement with CJ HelloVision’s largest shareholder, CJ O Shopping Co., Ltd., to acquire 30% of the issued and outstanding common shares of CJ HelloVision. On the same day, the Board of Directors of SK Broadband Co., Ltd. (“SK Broadband”), the Company’s subsidiary, held a meeting to resolve the merger of SK Broadband with and into CJ HelloVision.

SK Broadband is subject to the back-door listing rules under the Securities Market Listing Regulation. If it is determined that [the merger transaction constitutes a] back-door listing upon submission of the relevant back-door listing application and accompanying documents to the Korea Exchange, CJ HelloVision must submit a preliminary listing application immediately. However, CJ HelloVision is not able to submit a preliminary listing application immediately as a designated auditor has not yet been appointed. Until CJ HelloVision submits such preliminary listing application and accompanying documents, the Korea Exchange will suspend trading of CJ HelloVision’s shares.

The Company intends to conduct a tender offer in order to alleviate any inconvenience to CJ HelloVision’s shareholders caused by such suspension of trading in CJ HelloVision’s shares.
