[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] Lee Seo-hyun, chairman of the Samsung Welfare Foundation, sold all Samsung SDS shares worth 170 billion won.
Lee, the second daughter of late former Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee, disposed of his holdings to raise about 2.4 trillion won in inheritance tax.
According to the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure system on the 4th, Chairman Lee sold 1,517,302 shares of Samsung SDS shares after hours. It is all 1.95% of Samsung SDS's stake held by Chairman Lee, and is worth 177.7 billion won based on the closing price of the day (117,600 won per share).
This is the stake set by Chairman Lee as collateral for annual payment of inheritance tax in February this year. On the reason for the sale, Chairman Lee wrote 'disposal of trust stocks'.
As Lee sold his entire stake in Samsung SDS, his name was also excluded from the shareholders' list. Among the family, Lee's brother, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, holds the largest share of 9.2% (7,118,713), while his sister, Lee Boo-jin, holds 1.95% (1,511,584). Her mother, Hong Ra-hee, former director of the Leeum Museum, owns 3,233 shares. Chairman Lee Jae-yong also has his stake in Samsung SDS as inheritance tax collateral.
These Samsung Group owners (owners) are paying inheritance taxes worth 12 trillion won. The inheritance tax burden given to Chairman Lee is about 2.4 trillion won, which has to be paid in six installments over five years, and about 400 billion won per year in simple calculations.
The inheritance tax burden is about 3.1 trillion won for director Hong Ra-hee, 2.9 trillion won for chairman Lee Jae-yong, and 2.6 trillion won for president Lee Boo-jin.
