Samsung Electronics announced on Wednesday that it will repurchase 2.5 trillion won (approximately $1.73 billion) worth of its own shares, specifically designated for compensation payments to employees and management.
In a regulatory filing, Samsung Electronics stated that the share buyback will be conducted in the secondary market, with the trading window set from January 8 to April 7.
This repurchase plan is a key component of the performance-linked compensation scheme introduced by Samsung Electronics in October 2025.
