Effective as of January 11, 2019, Woori Financial Group Inc. (“Woori Financial Group”) was established as the financial holding company of Woori Bank, and Woori Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woori Financial Group, pursuant to a “comprehensive stock transfer” under Article 360-15 of the Korean Commercial Code (the “Stock Transfer”). In the Stock Transfer, holders of Woori Bank common stock transferred all of their shares to Woori Financial Group and in return received shares of the common stock of Woori Financial Group. The Stock Transfer constitutes a “succession” for purposes of Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such that the common stock of Woori Financial Group is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act by operation of Rule 12g-3(a). This Form 15 relates solely to the common stock, American depositary shares representing such common stock and reporting obligations of Woori Bank under the Exchange Act. As the successor issuer to Woori Bank, Woori Financial Group will hereafter file reports under the Exchange Act with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission using the commission file number of Woori Bank (001-31811).

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Woori Bank has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
