Seoul, 18 October (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics ke Chairman Jay Y. Lee ki maa Hong Ra-hee aur behnein Lee Boo-jin aur Lee Seo-hyun company ke shares mein se lagbhag 1.73 trillion won (takriban $1.22 billion) ka hissa bechne ja rahi hain. Yeh baat ek regulatory filing mein Korea Exchange ko batayi gayi.
Total 17.7 million shares – jo company ka 0.3% hissa hai – beche jaenge. Filing ke mutabiq, sale ka maqsad inheritance tax aur loans ki repayment hai.
2020 mein Samsung ke patriarch Lee Kun-hee ke inteqal ke baad, unki virasat par lagne wala tax kareeban 12 trillion won hai. Yeh sale usi payment ke liye paise ikattha karne ka hissa hai.
Sale ko Shinhan Bank ke zariye trust contract ke under handle kiya jaayega, aur umeed hai ke yeh process April 2026 tak mukammal ho jaayega.
Samsung ke shares ne July ke baad se 48% se zyada tezi dikhayi hai, jab company ne Tesla ke saath chip supply deal sign ki thi. Samsung ne OpenAI aur Nvidia jaise bade clients ke saath bhi agreements kiye hain, jisse investor confidence mein izafa hua hai.
Stock ne 2025 ke dauraan ab tak 84% ka jump liya hai, aur Friday ko yeh 97,900 won tak pahunch gaya.
Leaders Index ke head Park Ju-gun ne kaha,
“Samsung ka pichle saal 10 trillion won ka share buyback plan is liye tha taake stock value protect ho sake — jo ke inheritance tax ke paise arrange karne mein madad deta hai.”
Unka kehna tha ke family ke side se shares bechne ka faisla, jab stock price 100,000 won ke qareeb hai, shaayad tax payment complete karne ka hissa hai.
“Bas ek negative cheez yeh hai ke malik family aise waqt mein sell kar rahi hai jab retail investors kaafi optimistic hain. Samsung ek ‘national stock’ ban chuka hai — jise taqriban 5 million retail shareholders own karte hain, aur sab is rally ko closely dekh rahe hain.”
