Samsung Electronics has gone over ways to revamp its corporate structure, including the possibility of creating a holding company structure.
 
The electronics giant convened on Tuesday a meeting of its board of directors and announced ways to enhance overall shareholder value.
 
The firm said in a statement that it is considering options, including the possibility of creating a holding company structure and the potential benefits of listing the company's shares on international exchanges.
 
Tuesday marked the first time Samsung Electronics officially mentioned the possibility of setting up a holding company structure.
 
The company said that it will gather opinions on the matter from outside experts and spend at least six months reviewing the options of restructuring.
 
In the statement, Samsung also said it will use 50 percent of free cash flow for this and next year for shareholder returns, compared with last year's announced range of 30 to 50 percent.
