On December 1, 2009, the Ministry of Justice announced amendments to the Commercial Code setting forth proposed legislation on poison pills. A poison pill is a defensive tactic used by companies to protect management rights in the event of a hostile takeover. It typically works by granting existing shareholders the right to increase their holdings by purchasing newly issued securities at a below-market price. Despite repeated requests from Korean conglomerates to allow poison pills as a management rights protection device, the introduction of poison pill legislation had been delayed due to conflicting views held among different government circles. The government authorities have, however, reached a consensus on the issue, culminating in the announcement of pending legislation by the Ministry of Justice.
