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.
