La familia Samsung completa los pagos del impuesto de sucesiones con la venta de acciones de Hong Ra-hee

Hong Ra-hee, viuda del difunto presidente de Samsung Group, Lee Kun-hee, vendió una participación en Samsung Electronics por un valor cercano a los 3,1 billones de wones (2100 millones de dólares) para completar los pagos del impuesto de sucesiones de la familia. La venta en bloque de 15 millones de acciones pone fin a un plan de pagos a plazos de cinco años por un total de 12 billones de wones que comenzó en abril de 2021. Se espera que esta medida alivie la presión financiera y, potencialmente, acelere la estrategia de crecimiento del 'Nuevo Samsung' del presidente Lee Jae-yong.

Hong Ra-hee, directora honoraria del Museo de Arte Leeum y madre del presidente de Samsung Electronics, Lee Jae-yong, vendió 15 millones de acciones de Samsung Electronics en una operación en bloque antes de la apertura del mercado el jueves. Las acciones se cotizaron a 205.237 wones cada una, sumando un total de cerca de 3,1 billones de wones (2100 millones de dólares) y reduciendo su participación del 1,49 por ciento al 1,24 por ciento, según fuentes del sector. Lee Kun-hee falleció en octubre de 2020, dejando activos estimados en alrededor de 26 billones de wones, incluyendo acciones valoradas en 19 billones de wones. La familia ha financiado el impuesto de sucesiones de 12 billones de wones mediante la venta de acciones de filiales del grupo y otras medidas, en cuotas pagadas durante cinco años desde abril de 2021. Lee Jae-yong, junto con sus hermanas Lee Boo-jin, directora ejecutiva de Hotel Shilla, y Lee Seo-hyun, presidenta de Samsung C&T, contribuyeron a los pagos. Se espera que la culminación de los pagos impositivos alivie la presión financiera sobre la familia. Las fuentes indicaron que esto podría acelerar el impulso del presidente Lee Jae-yong hacia una estrategia de crecimiento del "Nuevo Samsung".
