○ Up to 12 pages 8, 10, 100, 100,000,000,000

Since the Plaintiff’s acquisition of the EFG shares cannot be seen as a corporate merger, even if the price paid by the Plaintiff in acquiring the shares of the EFG includes the amount appraised of intangible assets forming the business value of the EFG’s goodwill, it cannot be said that the price for the business value was paid during the process of the instant merger.

○ From 8th to 11th of the judgment of the first instance court is as follows.

In light of the above legal principles, insofar as the price for acquiring the shares of the EFG by retiring the shares of the EFG after two years from the date the Plaintiff acquired the shares of the EFG, without issuing new shares, is not included in the liquidation income by merger, that is, corporate tax, even if the price for acquiring the shares of the EFG includes the appraised value of intangible assets forming the EFG’s business value in the price for acquiring the shares of the EFG, the amount paid by the Plaintiff as the price for acquiring the shares cannot be deemed as the price for business rights acquired by merger, even if it includes the appraised value of intangible assets

2. Conclusion

Therefore, the judgment of the first instance court is justifiable, and the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed as it is without merit.
