| Fitch Teleconf: Korea SOE Credit Profiles Gain on Govt Stance, 12 Sep, 3.30pm HK/SGFitch Ratings-Singapore-04 September 2013: Fitch Ratings will host a teleconference to discuss the ratings of and the underlying sovereign support to rated South Korean state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
 
 A number of Korean SOEs are likely to issue offshore debt in the near-term to support their capital requirements. Fitch in July 2013 upgraded the ratings of the SOEs following a series of meetings with the companies' management and relevant government officials, and based on certain positive developments to-date in 2013 that will help stem the weakening trajectory of these SOEs' stand-alone financial profiles.
 
 Fitch will also publish a special accompanying report 'Korean State-Owned Enterprises - Credit Profiles Stabilising; State Support Underscores Ratings' which will be available at www.fitchratings.com.
 
 The teleconference will be hosted by Buddhika Piyasena, Fitch Ratings' Head of Asia-Pacific Energy & Utilities ratings and Shelley Jang, the lead analyst for Korean SOE issuers.
 
 The teleconference will take place on Thursday, 12 September 2013 at 3.30pm Hong Kong/Singapore time, 4.30pm Seoul/Tokyo, and 5.30pm Sydney.
