Samsung Electronics Plans to Launch Approximately 150 Trillion Won Shareholder Return Program

According to reports from the Korea Economic Daily, Samsung Electronics is expected to convene a board meeting later this month to review shareholder return plans that include share buybacks and cancellations, as well as special dividends, with a total scale potentially reaching 150 trillion to 160 trillion won. Driven by the recovery in the memory semiconductor market, the company's cash generation capability has improved significantly. Market analysts anticipate that in addition to maintaining regular dividends, Samsung Electronics may introduce a one-time special dividend and simultaneously execute large-scale share repurchases and cancellations to enhance shareholder value.
