2. Summary of grounds for appeal;

(4) The appellant may, in the case of the Masan Factory site, pay the total amount of principal in accordance with the original reorganization plan, on the ground that the liquidation value of the securities exceeds the market value of the securities held in the Masan Factory site. However, the liquidation value of the Masan Factory site should mean the estimated sale value immediately. Since the sale price calculated in the Masan Factory site plan exceeds 170 billion won, the total amount of the market value of the securities held in the Masan Factory site, including the appellant, or the total amount of principal, exceeds the market value of the Masan Factory site as well as the Masan Factory site security holders, and it is unreasonable for the appellant to treat the Masan Factory site more unfavorably than the total liquidation value of the securities held in the Masan Factory site without reasonable grounds. Thus, it is unreasonable for the appellant to view the Masan Factory site as the Masan Factory site to the extent of the 200 billion total amount of the securities held in the Masan Factory site without reasonable grounds.

3. Determination

A. Where it is necessary to modify matters determined in the plan due to unavoidable reasons after the decision to approve the reorganization plan is made, the court may modify the plan upon the application of the receiver, company or reported reorganization creditors, security holders, or stockholders (Article 270(1) of the Company Reorganization Act) only before the completion of the reorganization procedure (Article 270(1) of the Company Reorganization Act). In order to approve the amendment plan, the amendment plan must satisfy the fairness and fairness provided for in the former part of Article 233(1)2 of the Company Reorganization Act. Specifically, the fairness and fairness referred to in the amendment plan must be fairly and uniformly differentiated between different rights holders, taking into account the priority order of rights provided for in Article 228(1) of the same Act, and the conditions should be equal between different rights holders of the same kind as provided for in Article 229(1)5 of the same Act, and the equality in this case refers to the substantive equality that does not go against the concept of fairness and fairness, and thus, it shall not be divided into two different types or equality rights provided for in the same plan within two different types and different types of rights.

B. The instant change plan provides that the sales proceeds of the Msan Factory site shall be KRW 170 billion and, among them, KRW 150 billion shall be determined as the funds for sale of the Msan Site to be used in satisfaction of the reorganization securities and reorganization claims. In other words, from KRW 150 billion to KRW 150 billion, the total amount of KRW 1,242,00,000 out of the principal of other secured parties, excluding the secured parties, and the total amount of KRW 5,319,00,000 out of the principal of other secured parties, and the total amount of KRW 5,319,000,000,000 among the principal of the claim after a partial conversion of investment by reorganization creditors, shall be preferentially repaid, and only the remainder of KRW 14,681,00,000,000, including the principal of the claim of the secured parties, including the remainder of KRW 222,000,000.

그런데, 마산공장부지에 대한 해당 정리담보권 시인금액의 총액은 145,441,16 3,000원(= 우리은행 54,815,943,400원 + 외환은행 42,623,620,764원 + 산은일차 39,579,69 8,836원 + 케이엘 8,421,900,000원)이고, 해당 정리담보권 원금의 총액은 123,716,000,000원{= 우리은행 54,815,000,000원(별표 8에는 채권원금이 241,045,000,000원으로 되어 있으나, 이는 마산공장부지 외의 기타 담보물건에 대한 채권원금도 포함된 것이므로, 마산공장부지에 대한 채권원금은 마산공장부지에 대한 정리담보권 시인금액인 54,815,00 0,000원으로 본다) + 외환은행 38,844,000,000원(역시 별표 8에는 채권원금이 38,844,000, 000원으로 되어 있고, 이것도 마산공장부지 외의 기타 담보물건에 대한 채권원금도 포함된 것이나, 마산공장부지에 대한 시인금액 42,623,620,764원의 범위 내이므로, 일응 마산공장부지에 대한 채권원금으로 본다) + 산은일차 23,572,000,000원(역시 별표 8에는 채권원금이 23,572,000,000원으로 되어 있고, 이것도 마산공장부지 외의 기타 담보물건에 대한 채권원금도 포함된 것이나, 마산공장부지에 대한 시인금액 39,579,698,836원의 범위 내이므로, 일응 마산공장부지에 대한 채권원금으로 본다) + 케이엘 6,485,000,000원}으로서 모두 마산부지 매각자금 1,500억 원으로 완제될 수 있는데도(특히 원금의 경우에는 기타 담보권자와 정리채권자에게 5,319,000,000원을 우선 변제하여도 나머지 마산부지 매각자금 144,681,000,000원으로 완제될 수 있다), 마산공장부지에 대한 담보권이 없는 기타 담보권자와 정리채권자에게 일부 출자전환 후의 채권원금 중 10% 및 6%에 해당하는 5,319,000,000원을 우선적으로 변제하는 반면, 항고인들의 채권원금 중 22%를 출자전환하도록 하고, 또 마산공장부지 외의 기타 담보물건에 관한 정리담보권에 대해서는 그 담보물건의 매각대금을 해당 정리담보권에 우선적으로 변제하도록 되어 있는바, 이는 마산부지 담보권자의 담보권의 본질을 침해하고 합리적인 이유 없이 담보권 상호간의 차등을 규정한 것으로서 공정·형평의 원칙에 반한다고 할 것이고, 또 마산공장부지가 실제 2,850억 원에 매도된 것에 비추어 보면, 이 사건 변경계획상 마산공장부지의 매각예상대금 1,700억 원은 실제 거래가를 도외시한 지나치게 낮은 금액으로 만연히 위 금액을 기준으로 마산부지 담보권자의 원금의 22%를 출자전환하도록 한 점 역시 부당하다.

(c) Modification of the modification plan of this case through the establishment of protection clauses;

Therefore, the part of the amendment plan of this case, which allows the appellant to convert 22% of the principal security into investments, is clearly unfair. However, considering the fact that the majority of interested parties consented to the amendment plan of this case as well as the fact that the plan has already been implemented, and that the above amendment plan has not been influenced by social and economic aspects, the order of the court below should be modified by applying Article 234(1) of the Company Reorganization Act mutatis mutandis to the amendment plan of this case and prescribing a provision that protects the appellant's rights, thereby authorizing the amendment plan.

Furthermore, with regard to the provision on the protection of rights, when considering the health team, the progress from the approval decision of the modification plan of this case, the relationship with other interested parties as shown in the records of this case, the possibility of implementation of the original reorganization plan and the modification plan, etc., the provision on the protection of rights against the appellant should be determined as follows: (a) as well as the principal and interest of the security should be fully repaid; (b) however, the purpose of the corporate reorganization system is to ensure the reorganization and reorganization of the company; (c) in light of the fact that the purpose of the corporate reorganization plan of this case is to ensure the reorganization and reorganization of the company; (d) the deferred interest on all creditors' claims, including the appellant, is to conversion the total amount into equity and to be exempted, the above assertion is against the purpose of the corporate reorganization system or the equity with

D. Whether the application for intervention is lawful

In order to intervene in a specific litigation case in order to assist one of the parties, there must be an interest in the result of the litigation concerned, and the term "interest" refers to a legal interest, not a economic or emotional interest, but a legal interest. In this case, for which the appellant who is a security holder filed an appeal on the ground that the modified plan of this case was unfairly infringed on the security of the Masan Factory site, it is difficult to see that the Intervenor who is a minor shareholder has a legal interest in the outcome of this case. Thus, all of the applications for intervention is unlawful.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, since the appellant's appeal is well-grounded, the order of the court below is modified as it approves the modification plan of this case by setting forth the attached data protection clause for the appellant, and the motion for intervention of the Intervenor is unlawful, and it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all.
