Certain Defined Terms
All references to "we" or "us" mean The Korea Development Bank. All references to "Korea" or the "Republic" contained in this
prospectus supplement mean The Republic of Korea. All references to the "Government" mean the government of Korea. Terms used but
not defined in this prospectus supplement shall have the same meanings given to them in the accompanying prospectus.
In this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, where information has been provided in units of thousands,
millions or billions, such amounts have been rounded up or down. Accordingly, actual numbers may differ from those contained herein
due to rounding. Any discrepancy between the stated total amount and the actual sum of the itemized amounts listed in a table, is due to
rounding.
Prior to 2011, we prepared our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Korea
("Korean GAAP" or "K-GAAP"). Our non-consolidated financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2010 appearing in the accompanying prospectus was prepared in accordance with Korean GAAP. Commencing in 2011, we prepare our
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in Korea ("Korean IFRS" or "K-IFRS")
and our separate financial information as of December 31, 2010, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2011 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 included in this prospectus supplement has been prepared
in accordance with Korean IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from Korean GAAP. As a result, our interim separate
K-IFRS financial statements included in this prospectus supplement are not comparable with our non-consolidated K-GAAP financial
statements included in the accompanying prospectus. Both our interim non-consolidated K-GAAP financial statements and our interim
separate K-IFRS financial statements have not been audited. Note 48 of the notes to our interim separate financial statements as of
December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 included in this prospectus supplement
provides a description of the effects of the conversion from Korean GAAP to Korean IFRS. References in this prospectus supplement to
"separate" financial statements and information are to financial statements and information prepared on a non-consolidated basis. Unless
specified otherwise, our financial and other information included in this prospectus supplement is presented on a separate basis in
accordance with Korean IFRS and does not include such information with respect to our subsidiaries.
Additional Information
The information in this prospectus supplement is in addition to the information contained in our prospectus dated July 14, 2011.
The accompanying prospectus contains information regarding ourselves and Korea, as well as a description of some terms of the Notes.
You can find further information regarding us, Korea, and the Notes in registration statement no. 333-156305, as amended, relating to our
debt securities, with or without warrants, and guarantees, which is on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), as depositary.
The payment of interest and the repayment of principal on the Notes will not be guaranteed by the Government. However, under
the KDB Act, the Government is obligated to guarantee the payment of the principal of and interest on our foreign currency debt with
an original maturity of one year or more at the time of issuance (including the Notes offered hereby) outstanding as of the date of the
initial sale of the Government's equity interest in KDBFG, subject to the authorization of the Government guarantee amount by the
National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. See "The Korea Development Bank--Overview" and "--Business--Government
Support and Supervision" in the accompanying prospectus.
We do not have any right to redeem the Notes prior to maturity.

Approval in-principle has been received from the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the Notes. Settlement of the Notes is
not conditioned on obtaining the listing. The Notes will be traded on the SGX-ST in a minimum board lot size of US$200,000 for so
long as the Notes are listed on the SGX-ST and the rules of the SGX-ST so require.

issued in definitive registered form. Financial institutions, acting as direct and indirect participants in DTC, will represent your
beneficial interests in the global notes. These financial institutions will record the ownership and transfer of your beneficial interest
through book-entry accounts. You may hold your beneficial interests in the Notes through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") or

Further Issues
We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional debt securities with the
same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with
the Notes. We will not issue any such additional debt securities unless such additional securities have no more than a de minimis
amount of original issue discount or such issuance would constitute a "qualified reopening" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
