A
series of related-party transactions which have been detrimental
to the
interests of the minority shareholders and have enriched Taizo
Son,
GungHo, SOFTBANK and Mr. Baik at the expense of the Company’s minority
shareholders;
|
·
|
The
Company’s poor financial performance in the first half of 2006, as
evidenced by significant declines in revenue and EBITDA margin;
|
·
|
Gravity’s
failure to disclose the details of the Company's secret settlement
with
ex-Chairman Jeong Ryul Kim after documented reports that he embezzled
funds from the Company;
|
·
|
Failure
to adequately develop and manage the Company’s existing game
portfolio;
|
·
|
Delays
in the release of Ragnarok Online
II;
|
·
|
Defection
of management and key staff members;
and
|
·
|
Allegations
of lavish spending and corporate waste, including use of corporate
credit
cards for personal indulgences.
|
·
|
The
re-licensing of Ragnarok to GungHo in August 2006. The directors
announced
this transaction after failing to act on the Committee’s demand that the
Company establish a special committee of the Board to maximize
the value
of the Ragnarok license. Given that the license is Gravity’s single most
valuable asset, and in light of the rampant conflicts of interest
involved
in any deal between Gravity and GungHo, the Committee feels that
this
required a heightened level of
scrutiny;
|
·
|
The
acquisition of Emile Chronicle Online (“ECO”) from GungHo in December
2005. This game was acquired for 700 million yen (approximately
US$6
million) from GungHo just days before the end of GungHo’s fiscal year. The
Committee believes that the price paid by Gravity for ECO was unwarranted
and excessive. ECO has yet to prove to be a material portion of
Gravity’s
game pipeline. The Committee believes that this transaction was
entered
into principally to boost GungHo’s earnings and allow GungHo to exceed
expected earnings estimates for
2005.
|
·
|
Acquisition
of Neo-Cyon Inc, a company held more than 40% by Mr. Ryu’s friend and
current Gravity executive and director, Mr. Baik, in November 2005.
Gravity spent approximately 7.7 billion won (approximately US$7.4
million)
on the acquisition of the 96% stake. Similarly with ECO, the Committee
believes that the price paid by Gravity was exorbitant, particularly
given
the lack of contribution that Neo-Cyon has made to the Company.
The
Committee believes that the Neo-Cyon transaction was not negotiated
at
arms’ length and is another example of self-dealing in which the Company
rescued a marginal business owned by a friend of Mr.
Ryu.
|
·
|
Investment
in Online Game Revolution Fund Vol. 1, in December 2005. Gravity
announced
a plan to invest up to one billion yen (approximately US$8.5 million)
of
the Company’s cash balance in this Japanese fund whose general partner is
Movida Investment Inc., which is indirectly owned and controlled
by Taizo
Son and SOFTBANK. SOFTBANK is also an investor in this fund. Scant
details
have been disclosed to the shareholders about the exact amount
that has
been invested by Gravity to date or the expected returns on this
investment.

On
August 30, 2005, EZER Inc., an entity affiliated with Taizo Son,
purchased
a 52.4% interest in Gravity from Mr. Jung Ryool Kim, Gravity’s founder,
and certain members of his family (the “EZER Control Purchase”) at a price
equivalent to approximately $24.70 per ADS. Since
then, there have been changes to the Gravity Board and management,
as well
as numerous related-party transactions and arrangements, many of
which the
Committee believes have been detrimental to the interests of the
minority
shareholders.
|
·
|
In
September 2005, representatives of Ramius called Mr. John C. Chung,
then
general counsel and investor relations officer of Gravity, to express
concerns about the potential conflicts of interest which arose as
a result
of the EZER Control Purchase. Mr. Chung assured Ramius that the minority
shareholders should not worry, that Gravity investors would be protected
and that Gravity would be run in an ethical manner. Three months
later, on
December 28, 2005, Mr. Chung resigned as investor relations officer
and
sometime later ceased to be general counsel of Gravity as
well.
|
·
|
Representatives
of Ramius attended the Tokyo Game Show on September 16, 2005 and
met with
Mr. David Woong-Jin Yoon, then CEO of Gravity. Mr. Yoon stated that
the
EZER Control Purchase would not affect the Company’s strategy and that
Gravity’s minority shareholders would be protected. In particular,
Mr. Yoon indicated that the renegotiation of the Ragnarok Online
license would be conducted on an arms’ length basis. However, according to
a Gravity press release dated December 20, 2005, Mr. Yoon resigned
as CEO
just days after the Tokyo Game Show, was “suspended from his position”
less than two months later and resigned from the Board several weeks
thereafter.
|
·
|
In
the wake of the EZER Control Purchase, seven of the nine members
of the
Company’s Board of Directors, including six independent directors,
resigned. They were replaced on September 21, 2005 by Mr. Ryu and
four new
directors which the Committee believes were nominated by EZER and
Mr. Ryu.
We believe certain of these new directors had prior ties to Mr. Ryu
or
Taizo Son. This newly-comprised Board of Directors (the “Ryu Board”), now
with only seven members, proceeded to approve a number of related-party
transactions and take other questionable actions which the Committee
believes were not in the best interest of all shareholders. Importantly,
none of Gravity’s three current independent directors were on the Ryu
Board.
|
·
|
On
October 18, 2005, Gravity announced that it was conducting an
investigation into Ragnarok Online royalty payments from licensees
which
were not accounted for in Gravity’s financial statements (the
“Embezzlement”).
|
·
|
On
November 11, 2005, the Ryu Board authorized Gravity to purchase shares
of
Neo-Cyon, Inc., (“Neo-Cyon”) from certain of its shareholders which
resulted in Gravity holding an approximately 96% stake in Neo-Cyon.
One of
the shareholders was Neo-Cyon’s then CEO, Mr. Baik, who coincidentally
became an officer of Gravity around the time of this transaction
and who
then joined the Board on March 31, 2006. As described in more detail
below, the Committee believes that this acquisition was unjustified,
extremely expensive and not in the best interests of Gravity’s
shareholders.
|
·
|
On
November 25, 2005, representatives of Ramius visited Gravity’s offices for
a scheduled meeting with Mr. Ryu, as well as other Gravity management.
However, the meeting with Mr. Ryu was abruptly canceled with no clear
explanation.
|
·
|
On
December 20, 2005, Gravity announced that the Ryu Board had effectuated
a
number of changes in the management team, including the resignation
of Mr.
Yoon as president and member of the Ryu Board and the appointment
of a new
chief technical officer, among others. Shortly thereafter, on December
27,
2005, William Song, the Chief Financial Officer also
resigned.
|
·
|
On
December 21, 2005, under direction from the Ryu Board, Gravity announced
a
plan to invest up to one billion yen (approximately US$8.5 million)
of the
Company’s cash balance in “Online Game Revolution Fund Vol. 1”, an
investment fund organized in Japan. The general partner of this fund
is
Movida Investment Inc., which is indirectly owned and controlled
by Taizo
Son and SOFTBANK Corp. (“SOFTBANK”). SOFTBANK is also an investor in this
fund. Scant details have been disclosed to the shareholders about
the
exact amount which has been invested by Gravity to date or the expected
returns on this investment.
|
·
|
On
December 22, 2005, as directed by the Ryu Board, Gravity entered
into a
related-party transaction with GungHo Online Entertainment (“GungHo”): the
purchase of “Emile Chronicle Online.” Although this game was acquired for
a price of 700 million yen (approximately US$6 million) from GungHo
just
days before the end of GungHo’s fiscal year, there has been no mention of
any financial contribution to Gravity from this game in any disclosure
since then. As described below, the Committee believes the price
paid for
Emile was excessive and that this transaction was not in the best
interest
of Gravity’s shareholders.
|
·
|
On
January 8, 2006, Kwan Shik Seo, the former Chief Financial Officer
of
Gravity resigned from the Ryu Board. Following this resignation,
the Ryu
Board shrunk to five members: Mr. Ryu, and the four directors appointed
shortly after the EZER Control
Purchase.
|
·
|
On
February 6, 2006, representatives of Ramius held a meeting with Taizo
Son
in Tokyo. Ramius discussed its strong concerns about the
related-party transactions. In addition, representatives of Ramius
proposed a strategy whereby Gravity’s share price could be maximized for
all shareholders by listing Gravity’s shares in Japan. Mr. Son expressed a
need to restructure Gravity prior to such a listing, which restructuring
he said would be difficult to do with minority investors in
Gravity.
|
·
|
On
March 16, 2006, representatives of Ramius met again with Taizo Son
to
reiterate Ramius’ concerns regarding the related-party transactions,
discuss its opinion on Gravity’s valuation and state that if Taizo Son or
his affiliates wanted to engage in related-party transactions with
Gravity, he should take Gravity private at a fair
price.
|
·
|
On
March 17, 2006, Gravity disclosed that its net income for 2005 had
been
impacted negatively by a decline in revenues due to increased competition
and delays in releasing new games, as well as increased operating
expenses. In addition, Gravity disclosed that the beta service of
Ragnarok
Online II had been delayed until “sometime during the fourth quarter of
2006.” This was Gravity’s first public announcement of the deterioration
of its business under the management of Messrs. Ryu and
Baik.
|
·
|
Ramius
and Moon formed the Committee on March 29, 2006 in order to protect
the
rights of the minority shareholders of Gravity and to maximize the
value
of Gravity shares.
|
·
|
At
Gravity’s annual shareholder’s meeting on March 31, 2006, the Ryu Board
was completely restructured. The four directors who joined the Ryu
Board
shortly after the EZER Control Purchase resigned. These four were
replaced
with Mr. Baik and three new independent directors. This reconstituted
Board of Directors (the “Ryu/Baik Board”) remains seated as of the mailing
date of this Statement.
|
·
|
On
April 21, 2006, Gravity announced its “business vision for 2006” to become
the “Hollywood of the online game industry.” In addition, the Company
stated that it had no present intention to delist its shares from
NASDAQ
and denied that it was manipulating its results to devalue its stock
price
in preparation for a merger with
GungHo.
|
·
|
On
May 18, 2006, Gravity disclosed a settlement with ex-Chairman Jung
Ryool
Kim pertaining to the Embezzlement. The settlement called for the
cessation of civil and criminal actions between the parties and the
payment of certain amounts by Mr. Kim to Gravity. In addition, the
two
parties agreed to assist one another in seeking settlements of various
lawsuits filed by minority shareholders unrelated to the Committee
and
other parties against Gravity.
|
·
|
Since
that time, Gravity has provided no evidence to the shareholders that
the
terms of this settlement were in the best interests of Gravity’s
shareholders. In fact, to this day the Committee has more questions
than
answers about the Embezzlement and the settlement. These questions
multiplied following ex-Chairman Kim’s public statements about the
Embezzlement made in late August 2006 and the identification of certain
missing or omitted invoices from GungHo during the course of the
Committee’s document inspection, both of which are described
below.
|
·
|
On
May 23, 2006, the Committee urged Gravity to form a special committee
comprised of the independent directors and a shareholder representative
of
the Committee’s choice to examine alternatives for maximizing the value of
the Japan Ragnarok Online license, including offering the license
to third
parties through an auction or the creation and share listing of a
Japanese
subsidiary. The Committee received no
response.
|
·
|
On
June 1, 2006, the Committee filed a petition with the Seoul Central
District Court (the “Court”) to exercise its members’ rights as Gravity
shareholders to inspect the financial documents of the Company. This
petition was granted in part by the Court on July 12, 2006. Subsequently,
after Gravity failed to turn over certain of its financial records,
the
Committee sought and obtained an order from the Court enforcing its
earlier ruling, as described below.
|
·
|
In
August 2006, the members of the Committee concluded that, in order
to
protect the minority shareholders’ interests, it would be necessary for
Gravity to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.
The
purpose of the meeting is to remove Messrs. Ryu and Baik from the
Gravity
Board.
|
·
|
On
August 22, 2006, the Committee delivered to Gravity a demand for
the
convocation of an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.
Despite
this demand, Gravity did not set the meeting date until months later,
after the Committee filed a petition with the Court to compel Gravity
to
hold the meeting.
|
·
|
Also
on August 22, 2006, Gravity issued a press release announcing that
it had
entered numerous memorandums of understanding (“MOUs”) with various
parties, including GungHo, to publish Ragnarok Online II in five
overseas
markets. More importantly, the renewal of the Ragnarok Online license
to
GungHo in Japan, Gravity’s
single most valuable asset,
was casually mentioned at the end of the press release. Other than
mentioning a new expiration date of August 2009, no details were
provided
about the terms of the renewal.
|
·
|
On
August 25, 2006, the Committee sent a letter to Mr. Ryu, demanding
that
the Company initiate, on behalf of the shareholders derivatively,
a civil
lawsuit against any directors and former directors of the Company
responsible for approving related-party transactions and alleged
misconduct.
|
·
|
On
August 29, 2006, public statements made at a press conference held
by
ex-Chairman Kim were widely reported in Korean media outlets. These
statements suggested that the Embezzlement may have been made possible
with the assistance of GungHo. In addition, Mr. Kim indicated that
he
possesses additional information regarding potential wrongdoing at
Gravity
- in his words “the last hidden card” - which he threatened to disclose.
|
·
|
In
mid-September 2006, the Committee sent a letter to Masayoshi Son
and Taizo
Son asking them to set the record straight regarding ex-Chairman
Kim’s
allegations. The Committee again received no response. Gravity has
never
publicly discussed the details about the Embezzlement and the subsequent
confidential settlement of the matter with Mr.
Kim.
|
·
|
On
September 8, 2006, the Committee’s Korean legal advisor met with one of
Gravity’s independent directors, Professor James Jinho Chang, to discuss
the Committee’s concerns about Gravity. The discussion included matters
such as the Committee’s lack of confidence in management, the terms of the
Ragnarok Online license and other related-party transactions, the
recent
public disclosures by ex-Chairman Kim, the confidential settlement
terms
with Gravity and excessive entertainment expenses which were uncovered
by
the Committee during its inspection of financial
documents.
|
·
|
From
mid-September to early-November 2006, the financial advisors and
legal
advisors to the Committee met with Mr. James O. Kwon and certain
other
agents of the Company on various occasions to discuss possible solutions
to the Committee’s concerns. These potential solutions included a
potential acquisition of all of the outstanding minority shares of
Gravity. In addition, several emails and letters were sent to Taizo
Son
seeking his participation to resolve the
situation.
|
·
|
Also
during this time period, the Committee prepared and presented a slide
presentation to these individuals and others which laid out a valuation
case for Gravity. In this presentation, the Committee provided analysis
which the Committee believes supports its view that Gravity is worth
substantially more than the current market price per ADS in a transaction
with EZER and/or its related
parties.
|
·
|
The
Committee remains open to having a constructive dialogue with Gravity
and/or representatives of the majority shareholder to discuss potential
solutions to our concerns about the Company. To date, the discussions
have
not been substantive or fruitful.
|
·
|
During
this same time period, advisors to the Committee conducted follow
up
meetings and teleconferences with the independent members of the
Gravity
Board. The Committee is confident that if Messrs. Ryu and Baik were
removed from the Board, the three remaining independent directors
would be
set free to install new management to set Gravity back on course
and to
insure that the Company is run for the benefit of all the shareholders,
rather than for the benefit of the majority shareholder, EZER, and
its
related parties: Taizo Son, GungHo and
SOFTBANK.
|
·
|
On
October 13, 2006, Gravity released first and second quarter 2006
financial
results, which showed a further deterioration in Gravity’s operating
fundamentals, which the Committee believes is due to Gravity’s poor
management, as described below.
|
·
|
On
November 6, 2006, the Court found that Gravity did not comply with
the
terms of the Court’s July 12, 2006 injunction, which ordered Gravity to
provide the Committee access to the Company’s financial documents. The
Court reaffirmed the Committee’s right to inspect all of Gravity’s
financial documents and ordered the Company to produce documents
which it
had previously attempted to withhold from the Committee. The Court
took
the extraordinary measure of imposing potential significant daily
monetary
sanctions on the Company if it fails to
comply.

EZER
stated in a Schedule 13D filing on August 30, 2005 (the “EZER 13D”) that
the
primary purpose of the acquisition of the majority interest was “to secure
for the benefit of GungHo a continuing license for
‘Ragnarok’”,
a
license which was due to expire in August 2006. This disclosure foretold
a
future of numerous related-party transactions, described below, which
the
Committee believes have been detrimental to the interests of the
minority
shareholders and have enriched Taizo Son, GungHo, SOFTBANK and Mr.
Baik.
|
·
|
Since
Messrs. Ryu and Baik were installed as Directors and officers of
the
Company, the operating performance of Gravity has deteriorated
dramatically, as evidenced by substantial revenue declines, increases
in
costs and compensation expenses and delays in new product
development.
|
·
|
Gravity’s
conduct in response to the Embezzlement by ex-Chairman Kim of licensing
fees paid by GungHo has, in our opinion, been unacceptable and poorly
disclosed. The Committee believes serious unanswered questions remain
about whether Gravity has been adequately compensated for the wrongdoings
of the former Chairman and possibly
GungHo.
|
·
|
The
Committee has uncovered numerous suspicious charges, such as thousands
of
dollars in seemingly unnecessary entertainment expenses, which were
charged to corporate credit cards of Mr. Ryu, which the Committee
believes
reflect a gross waste of corporate
assets.
|
· |
Mr.
Ryu owns all of the issued share capital of
EZER.
|
· |
EZER
entered into a contractual relationship known as a “tokumei kumiai” (a
“TK”) with Techno Groove Co., Ltd. Pursuant to this TK arrangement, EZER
technically owns the Majority Interest but Techno Groove is attributed
the
financial performance of the shares. Techno Groove is wholly owned
by
Asian Groove Co., Ltd., which is controlled and approximately 82%
owned by
Taizo Son.
|
· |
Asian
Groove owned directly and indirectly 39.6% of GungHo as of August
30,
2005. An additional 44.6% of GungHo is owned by a subsidiary of SOFTBANK.
Taizo Son’s brother, Masayoshi Son, is the President and 32.7% shareholder
of SOFTBANK.
|
· |
Masayoshi
Son facilitated the EZER Control Purchase by causing Son Assets Management
Inc., an entity he controls, to lend 40 billion yen to Techno
Groove.
|
·
|
Gravity
showed a significant revenue decline of 26.8% in the first half of
2006 as
compared to the first half of 2005, a figure that is particularly
distressing in comparison to a number of other publicly traded Korean
online gaming companies.
|
·
|
Gravity’s
EBITDA margin has decreased from an estimated 45% in the first half
of
2005 before the EZER Control Purchase, to an estimate of zero or
negative
in the first half of 2006. In addition, the Company’s EBITDA and operating
margin have significantly underperformed most of its
peers.
|
·
|
Gravity
reported an operating loss of 3.4 billion won (approximately US$3.6
million) or negative 16% of revenues, excluding non-operating items
such
as interest income and one-time proceeds from the sale of real estate
and
the reimbursement from ex-Chairman
Kim.
|
·
|
In
the earnings press release, there is no mention of any contributions
from
Emile Chronicle Online, for which Gravity paid GungHo 700 million
yen
(approximately US$6 million) less than one year
ago.
|
·
|
In
addition, Gravity highlighted the potential of Neo-Cyon despite a
modest
revenue contribution of 1.4 billion won (approximately US$1.5 million).
The quality of these revenues and the associated margins were not
discussed, although the Company disclosed the commencement of sales
of
mobile phones by Neo-Cyon. The Committee believes the resale of cellular
phones represents an unexplained deviation from Gravity’s core
business.
