????韓國科技公司三星（Samsung）及附屬公司的實際控股公司三星愛寶樂園（Samsung Everland）計劃在明年年初進行首次公開募股。隨著三星集團的董事長兼家族元老出現健康問題，他們希望借此鞏固家族對這家公司的擁有權。

????這家公司表示，他們計劃在2015年第一季度上市。根據公司發言人的說法，愛寶樂園將會在韓國登記，預計將于這個月招募負責首次公開募股的經理。

????愛寶樂園的業務非常廣泛，從時裝公司到游樂園到高爾夫球場應有盡有。他們還擁有亞洲最大的科技公司三星電子（Samsung Electronics），以及其他一系列股份制企業。這家公司是典型的韓國家族式企業。通過交叉持股，它使得自己能夠在持有很少股票的情況下仍然掌握著各種集團的控制權。

????韓國公正交易委員會（Korea Fair Trade Commission）去年的報告顯示，三星的創始人李氏家族共計只持有三星集團1.53%的股份，卻擁有集團下74家公司中49.7%的控制權。

????公司董事長、現年72歲的李健熙于今年五月心臟病發作，住院治療至今。通過這次公開募股，公司的所有權將更快地轉給他的兒子李在镕以及女兒李富真和李敘顯。

????年輕的李在镕目前擔任三星電子副董事長，是三星愛寶樂園的最大股東，截至今年三月底擁有25.1%的股份。李健熙的兩個女兒各自持有愛寶樂園8.37%的股份，而他自己持有3.72%的股份。（財富中文網）

????Samsung Everland, the effective holding company of the South Korean-technology company and affiliates, is planning an initial public offering by the beginning of next year in an effort to consolidate the family’s ownership as the chairman and family patriarch’s health falters.

????The company said it plans to go public by the first quarter of 2015. Samsung Everland will list in Korean and expects to pick managers for the IPO this month, according to a company spokesman.

????Samsung Everland has a wide range of businesses, from a fashion company to an amusement park and golf resorts. It includes ownership of Samsung Electronics, Asia’s biggest technology company, through a patchwork of complex shareholding companies. The web of cross-shareholdings allows the family-run chaebol, a South Korean form of business conglomerate, to control their various groups while holding only small stakes.

????The founding Lee family owns a combined stake of only 1.53% in the Samsung Group while maintaining control of 49.7% of the group’s 74 companies, according to a Korea Fair Trade Commission report last year.

????The chairman, Lee Kun-hee, 72, suffered a heart attack in May and has been hospitalized since. The public offering could help speed the transition of ownership to his son Jay Y. Lee and daughters Lee Boo-jin and Lee Seo-hyun.

????The younger Lee is Samsung Everland’s largest shareholder with a 25.1% stake as of the end of March and currently serves as the vice chairman of Samsung Electronics. The two daughters each held 8.37% Samsung Everland shares while the elder Lee held 3.72%.
