[Alpha Biz= Kim Jisun] SEOUL, May 27 — Samsung Electronics has reportedly issued an internal compliance notice to employees ahead of the launch of single-stock leveraged and inverse exchange-traded products linked to its shares.

According to industry sources, the company informed staff that trading such products—set to debut on May 27—will be subject to the same regulatory framework as direct trading of Samsung Electronics stock.

The notice emphasized that the use of material non-public information for trading, or sharing such information with others, is strictly prohibited and may constitute a violation of capital markets laws.

Samsung also reminded employees of short-swing profit rules, under which gains from buying and selling the company’s stock or related products within a six-month period must be returned. Executives are additionally required to disclose their holdings and transactions through the Financial Supervisory Service’s disclosure system.

The company urged employees to fully understand their legal obligations, noting that violations could result in strict penalties.
