| 3 | Ownership |
Government 59.8%, Bank of Korea 36.3%, Fund: 3.9%. Reason for divided ownership (Government, Bank of Korea, and Fund): The shareholding structure reflects KHFC’s dual role in both housing policy and financial markets. Government (MOEF): As a public entity established by law, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (the primary ministry managing state-owned enterprises) holds ownership through capital contribution. Bank of Korea (BOK): Since KHFC's securitization business significantly impacts monetary liquidity, the BOK—as the central bank responsible for monetary policy—contributes a portion of the capital. Fund (MOLIT): To facilitate the practical execution of housing policies, specialized housing-related funds under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport also provide capital. |

While we maintain close policy coordination with MOLIT due to the nature of housing policy, the official regulatory and supervisory oversight rests with the FSC. | |
