An announcement from Samsung Electronics ( (GB:SMSN) ) is now available.
Samsung Electronics has approved the cancellation of 73,359,314 common shares and 13,603,461 preferred shares, all of which are treasury shares previously repurchased under board resolutions in 2025. The move, executed under Article 343 of Korea’s Commercial Act, leaves the company’s capital unchanged while reducing its total shares outstanding, effectively enhancing per-share metrics for remaining investors.
The buyback-funded cancellation, valued at an estimated KRW 5.35 trillion on a book-value basis, is part of a broader Treasury Share Holding and Disposal Plan endorsed at the company’s 57th annual shareholders’ meeting. By retiring all treasury shares held for cancellation on or around April 2, 2026, Samsung is signaling a strong shareholder-return stance that could bolster earnings per share and support its valuation in the capital markets.
