Samsung Electronics: Cancellation of 16 Trillion Won Worth of Treasury Shares

• Samsung Electronics announced that it plans to cancel approximately 87 million of its 105.43 million treasury shares held as of the end of 2025 within the first half of 2026.

• This represents 82.5% of treasury shares and 1.5% of its outstanding shares. Based on the closing price of Samsung Electronics on 10 March, this represents nearly 16 trillion won.

• This should have a positive impact on Samsung Electronics’ share price, albeit the overall positive impact should be less than that of SK Inc.
