Samsung Electronics ( (GB:SMSN) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Samsung Electronics has approved the disposal of 6,729,069 treasury common shares, valued at approximately 1.09 trillion won based on the January 28, 2026 closing price, to be used as performance-based stock compensation for more than 51,700 employees, including CEO YoungHyun Jun. The shares, to be transferred off-market from the company’s treasury account on January 30, 2026, are tied to 2025 OPI and individually agreed long-term incentive programs, with most subject to a one-year selling restriction; Samsung emphasized that the disposal represents only about 0.114% of its outstanding common shares, implying minimal dilution while aiming to better align employee and shareholder interests and support mid- to long-term growth.
