Description of Business


Primary SIC Code: 3312
(As filed with the SEC)  

We were established by the Government on April 1, 1968, under the Commercial Code, to manufacture and distribute steel rolled products and plates in the domestic and overseas markets. The Government owned more than 70% of our equity until 1988, when the Government reduced its ownership of our common stock to 35% through a public offering and listing our shares on the KRX KOSPI Market. In December 1998, the Government sold all of our common stock it owned directly, and The Korea Development Bank completed the sale of our shares that it owned in September 2000. The Government no longer holds any direct interest in us, and our outstanding common stock is currently held by individuals and institutions. See "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions - Item 7A. Major Stockholders." Our legal and commercial name is POSCO.  ... More ...
