Koo, Kwang Mo
Dear Members of the Board of Directors,
As you are aware, Whitebox Advisors LLC (together with its affiliates, "Whitebox" or "we") owns a significant stake in LG Corporation ("LG" or the "Company"). We are a long-term shareholder that has repeatedly sought to engage with the Board of Directors (the "Board") and representatives of the management team in a constructive, private manner over the past two years. It is extremely disappointing that our feedback and viewpoints have been repeatedly dismissed or ignored.
