HONG KONG, 25 January 2011 — BNY Mellon, the global leader in asset management and securities servicing, has been appointed to provide corporate trust services for Korean Airlines Co., Ltd's ("KAL") JPY 40 billion asset-backed securitization ("ABS") Note - the largest Asian ABS deal in 2010. In addition to providing account bank services, BNY Mellon acts as Note Trustee, Principal Paying Agent, Reference Agent, Note Registrar, Principal Transfer Agent, Irish Stock Exchange Listing & Paying Agent under English law; Japanese Trustee under Japan law, and Transaction Administrator, Security Agent, and Bond Issuer Servicer under Korean law.
