Principle 1.4 (Cross-shareholdings)

The Company believes that maintaining and strengthening cooperative relationships with business partners is necessary for the expansion and development of the Group's business. The Group, which mainly engages in the air transportation business, shall strategically hold shares in another company should it believe that this will contribute to smooth business continuity and enhanced profits via business alliance and stronger business relationships, and thereby improvement corporate value in the medium- to long-term.

Every year the Company comprehensively verifies individual cross-shareholdings at a meeting ofthe Board of Directors to determine the significance of the holdings and the associated risks and benefits. When verifying the economic rationale behind the shareholdings, the Company

conducts quantitative and multi-faceted assessments, including checking the total shareholder return (TSR) of each stock and comparing the return on investment of that stock with the capital costs of the Group. If the assessment results show that the cross-shareholdings have been stagnant for a period of time and they are not judged as contributing to the sustainable growth of the Group and the improvement of corporate value in the medium-to-long-term, we will reduce them.

The meeting of the Board of Directors on May 19, 2021 will verify individual stocks from a medium-to- long term perspective and verify the economic rationale behind the Company's cross-shareholdings. Furthermore, appropriate decisions on the exercise of voting rights of strategicallyshareholdings are made by comprehensively taking into account dialogue with the relevant company after examination of each resolution, including the enhancement of the relevant company's medium- to long-term corporate value and the impact on the Group's business operations
