Samsung Founding Family's Stake Sale: Impact on SamE Share Buyback Vs. Special Dividend

<p>It was announced today that Samsung's Lee Jae-Yong will get out of jail as the Korean government will release him on parole this week after he spent 18 months in prison. The total original sentence time was for 30 months so Lee will no longer need to serve the remaining one year of jail time. Lee joins 800+ other convicts who will be released from various prisons in Korea on Friday. </p><p>In our view, this could <strong>accelerate</strong> some of Samsung's major investment plans globally and could also have a positive impact on the Samsung Group companies. Lee Jae-Yong joins a long-list of Korean chaebol family members that have served some time in prison. </p><div class="content-highlight">
<p>Overall, we believe that there could be more investors' interest in Samsung C&amp;T with the release of Lee Jae-Yong from jail. Although he remains a figurehead, the persistent negative press on him will likely be relieved and there could be more pressure to improve various ESG metrics of the Samsung Group companies even further. As such, we believe this will have a positive impact on the Samsung Group companies, especially on Samsung C&amp;T. </p>
<p>Our <strong>base case NAV</strong> valuation of Samsung C&amp;T is 202,593 won per share, representing 42.2% higher than current share price. In our base case valuation, we used the current market cap/prices of its ownership in major affiliates including Samsung Electronics, Samsung Biologics, and Samsung Life Insurance. We also used a 40% holdco discount in our valuations. </p>
