Samsung Electronics is expected to hold a shareholder meeting on March 24, an industry source said on Feb. 23.
According to the source, Samsung‘s board of directors will hold a meeting on Feb. 24 to decide the date and agenda for the annual shareholder meeting.
Attention is being focused on how Samsung will respond to shareholders over the arrest of Vice Chairman
Lee Jae-yong, who has been in jail since last Feb 17, over his alleged role in a presidential influence-peddling scandal.
The arrest of Lee, heir apparent of Samsung Group, is expected to hit a snag at Samsung’s plans to transform the electronics giant into a holding company structure, some analysts said.
