3) On December 10, 2008, the Plaintiff was investigated as the president of the instant company in a criminal case against KimG and OB on December 10, 2008, and responded to the following purport.

No. : AB is related to the present case.

The answer: The OB made a proposal that the actual amount of money was at his own low address and the management or operation of the money at low price, and the proposal was actually processed with respect to this case, and the OB is at its best risk. Accordingly, the proposal is present.

The text: The person who made the statement stated the purpose and circumstances of the acquisition of the company of this case.

The answer: A company will take over a listed company to promote a new business because it is too difficult to raise funds because it was too difficult to raise funds for EE energy, and the company will participate in the capital increase with capital increase by the third party allocation method on July 2007 and become a major shareholder and take over management rights.

C. : The reason why the representative director was proposed to KimG is the end of the year.

The answer: I propose the representative director, judging that it is a person who may believe and assume on behalf of the author in Korea, as he primarily engages in activities abroad.

The text: EE Energy makes a statement.

The answer: I have the honor to establish B in July 2005 that it was a company in which she is a major shareholder. By the date of 2006, I shall memory as of September 2006 that it was registered after the resignation of the representative director.

(EEE Energy Stocks 3,00,000 per share owned by OB as of July 3, 2007, the decision was made by the Company, who purchased the EE Energy Stocks 3,00,000 per share at OEO.

Note: dated 3, 2007, and dated June 20, 2007, as the condition under which the company acquired the company of this case. The company of this case evaluated EE Energy Stocks and purchased them from the side of the company of this case to the OO.

sentence: (a) On September 5, 2007, the Company decided to purchase 4,000,000 shares of OB in the instant case at OOOB, but the decision was ever required.

The reply: The author and the representative director's present photograph is purchased with the approval of the board of directors.

The text: there is a special reason to purchase EE-Energy stocks from the company of this case where the person who made the statement can exercise the right of management.

The answer: The third success notice was issued around July 2007 in the petroleum mining area in which EE Energy was jointly conducted with Sejong and then the share price increased and the EE Energy shares held by it were sold through appraisal and assessment to the company of this case, judging that the sale of EE Energy shares to a third party would benefit from the company of this case, and thus, would benefit from the company of this case.

4) On December 22, 2008, KimG received an investigation in the above criminal case and responded to the following purport.

Note : It is essential to allocate not less than 31,600,000 shares to the OB and the plaintiff while allocating shares.

The answer: The plaintiff was allocated due to the acquisition of management rights by the plaintiff, and the original OB and the plaintiff should have been allocated the entire amount, but some others were given an opportunity to be allocated some of the desired persons, and the others were also assigned. The contents included in the contract that changed the allocation of third party OO for capital increase with consideration for the acquisition of management rights are included in the contract.

The text: what is the reason why the contract of this case was entered into with DaD.

The reply: It is the acquisition of the Company of this case by the listed corporation rather than the unlisted corporation in order to raise funds to facilitate the business.

I: I have the right of management acquisition at the EEE Energy Stock Sale Price. I have the passbook of OB.

[Ground of recognition] Unsatisfy, entry of evidence Nos. 3, 5, and 6, the purport of the whole pleadings

D. Determination

Article 2 (1) 1 of the former Inheritance Tax and Gift Tax Act (amended by Act No. 8828 of Dec. 31, 2007) provides that "in case where there are donated property as of the date of donation by another person, gift tax shall be imposed on such donated property in accordance with the provisions of this Act," and Article 2 (3) of the same Act provides that "in this Act, the term "donation" means a free transfer (including a case of transferring at a remarkably low price) of tangible or intangible property (including a case of transferring it at a remarkably low price) in a direct or indirect manner to another person or an increase in the value of another person's property by transferring it without compensation (including a case of transferring it at a remarkably low price)" and Article 31 (1) provides that " donated property pursuant to Article 2 includes all goods belonging to the donee and all goods having economic value that can be realized in money and all de facto or de facto rights having property value".

In light of the above facts, the majority shareholder's management right means the power to exercise management right or to decide the basic policy of the company through the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. Since shares owned by the controlling shareholder are different from those of other shares, the controlling shareholder has a separate economic value such as management right of the company. ② As such, since shares are generally held by the controlling shareholder, etc. representing the value of the company's own shares and profit-making value, the majority shareholder's special value that can exercise management right or control right of the company, so-called 'Bll' is not a 60% share shares' that were held by the controlling shareholder, etc. were traded at a higher price than the total value of the company's shares, etc. (see, e.g., Supreme Court Order 2002HunBa65, Jan. 30, 2003).

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
