On June 24, 2009, the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service urged the Plaintiff Company to make a serious warning and caution due to the invalidation of acquisition of the shares and the violation of relevant regulations.

B. On September 21, 201, the Plaintiff bank entered into a contract with Defendant E Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Defendant E”), and the Plaintiff bank entered into a contract with Defendant E Asset Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Defendant C Co., Ltd.”) to purchase KRW 80,000 (Evidence 2-1) of KRW 400,000 per share among the outstanding shares of Defendant C Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Defendant C Co.”), and the Plaintiff bank entered into a contract with Defendant G to purchase KRW 60,000 of the outstanding shares of Defendant C Co., Ltd. of KRW 30,000 (Evidence 5,000 per share) (hereinafter “instant purchased shares”) from Defendant C Co., Ltd. of KRW 140,000,00 in total, and each of the instant shares collectively referred to as “the instant shares”).

C. Defendant H purchased 29,00 shares issued by the Plaintiff bank from the Plaintiff bank on September 30, 201, to KRW 967,41,000 per share (33,359 per share) (Evidence A1, 13-8).

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 3, 6 through 8, 10, 11 and 13 (including branch numbers; hereinafter the same shall apply)

2. The part of the plaintiff's primary claim against the defendant H

A. The plaintiff's assertion

1) According to Article 37(1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act (amended by Act No. 12100, Aug. 13, 2013; hereinafter the same "former Mutual Savings Banks Act"), a mutual savings bank cannot offer credit to a "person who is in a special relationship with a major shareholder by purchasing securities in a nature of financial assistance." Under Article 18-2(7) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, a "person who is in a special relationship with a major shareholder without justifiable cause" is prohibited from offering money, services, or other proprietary benefits to a "person who is in a special relationship with a major shareholder." The actual owner and actual seller of the instant shares are Defendant H, a major shareholder of the Plaintiff bank, and KRW 70 million paid by the Plaintiff bank to Defendant E actually belonged to D. Thus, the Plaintiff bank purchased securities from a "person who has a special relationship with a major shareholder" in violation of Article 37(1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act or 78(1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act without justifiable reason.

2) The purchase price of the instant shares that the Plaintiff bank paid to Defendant E on the ground of the invalid share purchase agreement of the instant case was substantially reverted to D, and D paid the said KRW 700 million to Defendant H, and Defendant H used the said KRW 700 million on September 30, 201 to purchase the shares issued by the Plaintiff bank from the Plaintiff bank. Accordingly, Defendant H was obligated to refund the said KRW 700 million and its delay damages to the Plaintiff bank on the ground that the Plaintiff bank obtained the said KRW 700 million profits through D without any legal cause.

B. Relevant legal principles

According to Article 2 subparagraph 6 of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, "credit extension" means payment, loan, payment guarantee, purchase of valuable securities in the nature of financing, and other direct and indirect transactions of a mutual savings bank with credit risk in financial transactions as determined by Presidential Decree. In such cases, credit extension on the account of a person, regardless of in whose name the account stand in, shall be deemed a credit extension on the person's own account. In addition, according to Article 2 subparagraph 11 of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, a major shareholder includes a major shareholder who holds 10/100 or more of the total number of voting shares issued by a mutual savings bank on his/

According to Article 18-2(1)7 of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, a mutual savings bank shall not provide money, services, or other property profits to large shareholders under Article 37(1) without justifiable grounds, and Article 37 shall not govern the prohibition of credit extension to large shareholders, etc. and the prohibition of provisional payment, while the former mutual savings bank shall not provide credit extension, deposit, etc. or pay provisional payment to a large shareholder (including a shareholder prescribed by Presidential Decree) (the main sentence of Article 37(1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act) (the mutual savings bank shall include a large shareholder (including a shareholder prescribed by Presidential Decree) and a person prescribed by Presidential Decree who falls under any of the persons referred to in subparagraph 1 and his/her relatives or special persons prescribed by Presidential Decree (subparagraph 3).

According to Article 30(1) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Mutual Savings Banks Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 25178, Feb. 11, 2014; hereinafter “former Enforcement Decree of the Mutual Savings Banks Act”), “shareholders prescribed by Presidential Decree” under Article 37(1)1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Mutual Savings Banks Act refers to shareholders who hold at least 2/100 of the total number of voting shares issued by a mutual savings bank. According to Article 30(2)1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Mutual Savings Banks Act, a person who is a relative or a specially related person prescribed by Presidential Decree under Article 37(1)3 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Mutual Savings Banks Act includes a sibling of a major shareholder if the major shareholder under Article 37(1)1 of the Act is an individual.

Article 37(1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act prohibits a person in a special relationship with a mutual savings bank, such as a major shareholder, from extending credit to a person who is in a special relationship with a major shareholder. Whether a person constitutes a credit extension to a major shareholder, etc. ought to be determined on the basis of a person whose loan belongs to the actual owner, not the nominal lender (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2014Do

C. Determination

1) The facts that Defendant H’s birth was Defendant H’s birth do not conflict between the parties, and according to the evidence No. 13-8, Defendant H held 42.23% of the total number of voting shares issued by the Plaintiff bank at the time of the instant share purchase contract. Accordingly, Defendant H constitutes “large stockholder” as stipulated in Article 2 subparag. 11 and Article 37(1)1 of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, and D constitutes “a person in a special relationship with the “large stockholder” as stipulated in Article 37 subparag. 3 of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, and Article 30(2) subparag. 1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Mutual Savings Banks Act.

2) According to the statement No. 13-4 of the evidence No. 13-2, Defendant G owned shares of the instant case at an investigative agency, and it is acknowledged that Defendant G owned shares of the instant case, and that D lent them to Defendant H by receiving the purchase price of the instant shares from the Plaintiff bank. However, in light of the following circumstances acknowledged by the facts of the basis, Gap’s evidence No. 13-5 and No. 13-7, and the purport of the entire pleadings, the above fact alone cannot be deemed as the actual owner of the instant shares or the actual seller of the instant sales contract, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge this otherwise, the Plaintiff’s primary assertion premised on this premise is without merit.

① At the time of the instant contract for the purchase of shares, the shares owned by Defendant G were actually owned by it. I received the purchase price of shares from the Plaintiff bank and lent the shares to Defendant H.

② At an investigative agency, D stated that the instant shares were not owned by D, and Defendant H also stated to the same effect as D’s statement at an investigative agency.

③ Defendant H received a summary order of 2013 Highest 2248 (A fine of 20,000,000) and became final and conclusive on April 11, 2013. The criminal facts of the crime are that Defendant H purchased Defendant C’s shares of KRW 140,000 on behalf of the Plaintiff Bank, for KRW 70 million on September 21, 201, and paid KRW 700,000 to I for the purchase of KRW 140,000,000 on behalf of the Plaintiff Bank, and personally borrowed KRW 70,00,000,000,000 to obtain credit extension as the representative director of the Plaintiff Bank, and was granted credit extension as the other party.

3. The Plaintiff’s conjunctive claim against the Defendants

A. Whether the former Mutual Savings Banks Act was violated

1) The plaintiff's assertion

According to Article 37 (1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, a mutual savings bank cannot offer credit to a person who has a special relationship with a major shareholder by purchasing securities of a nature of financial assistance. According to Article 18-2 (7) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, a mutual savings bank cannot offer money, services, or other financial benefits to a person who has a special relationship with a major shareholder without a justifiable reason. The actual owner and actual seller of the shares in this case are Defendant H, who is a major shareholder of the Plaintiff bank, D, and the purchase price of the shares in this case paid by the Plaintiff bank to Defendant E was substantially reverted to D.

Defendant H on behalf of the Plaintiff bank: (a) under the instant share purchase contract, the Plaintiff bank purchased securities of the nature of financial assistance from D, a person having a special relationship with the Plaintiff in violation of Article 37(1) of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act; (b) extended credit to D; (c) in violation of Article 18-2 Subparag. 7 of the former Mutual Savings Banks Act, Defendant H provided “the act of providing money or financial benefits to a person having a special relationship with the Plaintiff without justifiable grounds; and (d) the rest of the Defendants conspired or aided Defendant H in engaging in the aforementioned tort, and thus, the Defendants are liable to compensate for the damages suffered by the Plaintiff bank as joint tortfeasor.

The amount of damages suffered by the Plaintiff bank is KRW 700,000,000 per share purchase price (5,000 per share) and KRW 538,160,000,00 at the market price of the instant shares at the time of the purchase and sale of the instant shares (= KRW 3,844 won per share x 140,00), which is the difference of KRW 161,840,00 (= KRW 700,000 - KRW 538,160,000). Thus, the Defendants jointly have a duty to pay the Plaintiff bank KRW 161,840,00 and delay damages therefrom.

2) Determination

As seen earlier, D cannot be deemed as the actual owner of the instant shares or the actual seller of the instant sales contract, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge this differently, and the Plaintiff’s assertion of the first preliminary claim based on such premise is without merit without examining any further grounds.

(b) Whether the high-priced purchase is made

1) The plaintiff's assertion

Defendant H, as the representative director of the Plaintiff bank, purchased the instant shares at a higher market price than the market price in the purchase of the instant shares in violation of the above duty, and thereby, Defendant H, as the Plaintiff bank, was liable to jointly pay the Plaintiff bank 161,840,000 won (=700,000 - 538,160,000 - 538,160,000 won), which is the difference between the purchase price and the market price of the instant shares, and 161,840,000 won (i.e., the difference between the purchase price of the instant shares and the market price of the instant shares). The rest of the Defendants conspired to commit such tort and aiding and abetting the Defendant H to pay the Plaintiff bank 161,840,000 won and damages for delay.

2) Determination.

According to the facts revealed earlier, the sales price under the instant contract was 5,00 per share, and according to the results of the appraisal commission and the results of appraisal supplementation with the appraiser J, the fact that the net asset value per share of the instant shares at the time of the instant contract for the purchase of shares (as of September 21, 201) is 3,844. However, in light of the following circumstances acknowledged by the statements in subparagraphs 6, 12, and 1 through 4, and the overall purport of pleadings, the above facts alone are insufficient to acknowledge that the price under the instant contract for the purchase of shares (as of September 21, 201, the price per share 5,00 won per share) is higher than that which would be unreasonable in light of sound social norms and commercial practice, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge this otherwise, Defendant H’s purchase of shares on behalf of the Plaintiff bank cannot be deemed as tort by the representative director, and therefore, the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.

(1) The value of shares of a company shall not be determined only by net asset value, but also by various factors, such as profit value, outlook of the company, degree of difficulty of permission, degree of difficulty of the applicant for the purchase, and special licenses.

② Defendant C Co. is a real estate asset management company established under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act with the authorization of the Financial Services Commission in 2010, and its capital amount reaches KRW 10.1 billion.

③ At around 2010, Korea Bank, Gwangju Bank, Solomon Mutual Savings Bank, Geumho Comprehensive Financial Co., Ltd. purchased KRW 100,000 through KRW 200,000 per share of Defendant CFC shares. After referring to the above purchase price, the Plaintiff Bank purchased KRW 140,000 per share of the instant shares on September 21, 201. The conclusion is that the Plaintiff Bank purchased KRW 5,000 per share of KRW 4.

The plaintiff's primary claim against the defendant H added in the trial of the court and the conjunctive claim against the defendants that the plaintiff changed in the trial of the court of the court of the court of the court of the case are all dismissed, and it is so decided as per Disposition by the court of the first instance.
