Samsung to Retire 87 Million Treasury Shares Valued at 14.6 Trillion Won

The move aims to lift shareholder value without cutting capital.

Overview

  • Samsung Electronics said in a regulatory filing it will retire about 87 million treasury shares worth 14.58 trillion won.
  • The plan covers roughly 73.36 million common shares and 13.6 million preferred shares with a par value of 100 won each.
  • The retirement takes effect later this week and will lower the number of shares outstanding.
  • Samsung said it will not reduce capital because the shares were bought using distributable profits under prior board approvals.
  • Company materials show it held more than 105.4 million treasury shares at the end of 2025, so this move retires most of that pool.
