Han Jong-hee, Vice Chairman and Head of Samsung Electronics' Device Experience (DX) Division, purchased company shares for the first time in two and a half years. This move is interpreted as a demonstration of his commitment to responsible management amid Samsung Electronics' stock price falling to the 60,000 KRW range.
According to the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure system on the 6th, Vice Chairman Han bought 10,000 shares of Samsung Electronics on the 5th, amounting to 739 million KRW. As a result, his total holdings increased to 25,000 shares. Previously, in March 2022, he had purchased 15,000 shares.
This year, Samsung Electronics' stock price rose to the 80,000 KRW range between April and May, reaching a peak of 88,800 KRW in July. However, the closing price on this day dropped to 68,900 KRW.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics executives have been actively purchasing company shares this year. In June, six executives, including Park Hak-gyu, Head of Management Support Office (President), and Noh Tae-moon, Head of Mobile Experience (MX) Division (President), collectively bought 15,490 shares. The total purchase amount reached approximately 1.14908 billion KRW.
During the same period, key executives in the Device Solutions (DS) Division, responsible for the semiconductor business, such as Vice Chairman Jeon Young-hyun, Memory Business Division President Lee Jung-bae, and Foundry Business Division President Choi Si-young, also purchased company shares worth over 1 billion KRW each.
