Full-year record in 2020: 203 trillion won. This package approved by Samsung’s board today is expected to be in the range of about 900 trillion to 1.1 quadrillion won in 2026.

It includes about 300 trillion won in cash dividends for the third quarter first; the exact figure will be finalized at the end of October. Then, how the remainder will be distributed—whether or not there will be share buybacks—will be decided after reviewing this year’s financial results in January next year. The board also approved about 150 trillion won in share buybacks, the purpose of which is to cover employee compensation; it is separate from the return package.
