The household of late Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee plans to promote stake in Samsung Electronics price 2.85 trillion received ($1.92 billion), regulatory filings confirmed Sunday, in an obvious bid to pay inheritance taxes.
Hong Ra-hee, the widow of the late enterprise tycoon and an honorary director of the Leeum Museum of Artwork, signed a deal on Jan. 9 to promote 15 million shares in Samsung Electronics via Shinhan Financial institution, in response to regulatory submitting.
The shares had been valued at about 2.85 trillion received based mostly on the corporate’s closing value of 139,000 received on the day the deal was signed.
The block sale is extensively seen as geared toward paying inheritance taxes totaling 12 trillion received following Lee’s loss of life in October 2020.
Since then, members of the controlling household have been paying their inheritance taxes in installments over a five-year span that began in April 2021. The ultimate cost is due in April.
