At Samsung Electronics, our modern, board-centered corporate governance system ensures trans-
parency and accountability in management. The board actively supports top management in effec-
tively managing the company to maximize corporate value. It also plays a key role in increasing share-
holder value as well as safeguarding shareholder rights and interests. The board’s scope of
responsibility encompasses all matters required by statute, specified in the articles of incorporation, or
delegated by resolution at the general shareholders’ meeting. These matters include the setting of ba-
sic management policies, guidance on strategic business decisions, and the oversight of senior man-
agement performance.
As of May 2009, our board is composed of nine directors, five of whom are outside directors. In 2008,
the board convened five times to discuss and decide 23 agenda items. As provided for by law, the
board has set up and delegated authority to a number of committees staffed by directors with relevant
experience and professional knowledge to aid in timely, efficient decision-making. The board presently
operates four committees: the Management Committee, Audit Committee, Outside Director Recom-
mendation Committee, and the Internal Transaction Committee.
ABOUT THE BOARD
We are committed to delivering
superior corporate and shareholder
value through creativity and
transparency in management.
