The Outside Director Recommendation Committee is a committee under the
BOD, structured to recruit and appoint outside directors’ candidates in a fair and
independent manner. The Internal Transaction Committee reports on pending
transactions between the company and related parties.
Our shareholder-centric policy starts with the idea that shareholders should share
in the profits of the company. In 2005, Samsung Electronics used some 40% of
net profits to pay dividends of USD 5.43 per share and repurchase shares worth a
total of USD 1.97 billion. Samsung Electronics held “Analyst Day 2005,” the first of
its kind by an Asian company, in order to enhance the value of our stock. During
this event, the presidents of all business divisions presented and shared their long-
term visions and strategies with analysts and investors. Because of this historic
event, we are succeeding in gaining greater market confidence in the company’s
sustainable growth.
As a result of our commitment to shareholder value, Samsung Electronics has
received awards from prominent financial and IR journals such as The Asset, IR
Magazine, Institutional Investor, Finance Asia, and CFO Asia. The company’s
achievements and commitments, sound financial performance, development of
future profit sources, and shareholder-centric policies are recognized by the market.
In return, the company was rewarded with a record high share price at the end of
2005 and perhaps a beginning of a new chapter in re-valuation of our share price.
