[THE INVESTOR] Samsung Electronics’ sister firms and suppliers Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Samsung SDI saw their shares increase 2.1 percent and 1.45 percent to 48,700 won(US$43.5) and 97,900 won, respectively, on Sept 13.

The increase of the share prices on the day came after Samsung Electronics announced that Samsung heir apparent Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong had been appointed as a registered board member.

The shares of Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Samsung SDI had been sliding since Aug. 24 when the report on the faulty battery of the Galaxy Note 7 first surfaced.

The two firms suffered nearly a 20-percent drop in their stock prices from Aug. 24 to Sept. 12.
