News about share issuance

SMC has set November 2, 2026 as the last registration date for existing shareholders to exercise rights to buy over 36.8 million new shares at VND 10,000 each, at a 2:1 ratio. Subscription and payment run from November 6 to 26, 2026, and rights transfers from November 6 to 21; SMC expects to raise over VND 368 billion, of which VND 168 billion will repay loans and VND 200 billion will settle supplier debts. The board also agreed to extend bond SMCH2126002 (VND 113.45 billion) by one year to October 8, 2027, with approval from its sole holder, Hanwa Co., Ltd. Separately, SMC completed the transfer of its 100% stake in Công ty TNHH MTV Tân Tạo on September 30, 2026, so SMC Tân Tạo is no longer a subsidiary.

PVcomBank has announced a list of seven investors planning to buy 300 million shares in a private placement under its 2026 charter capital increase plan, equal to 25% of shares outstanding after the issue. Four companies, I.P Real Estate Investment, Ly Thanh Sao, Construction Investment Consulting and DTH Technology, and Vuong Phat Real Estate Construction, each plan to buy about 59-60 million shares, nearly 5% of post-issue capital. Phuong Dong Trade and Financial Consulting Investment will buy more than 30.28 million shares (2.53%), while individuals Pham Thanh Tien and Cao Hung Cuong will also buy more, each lifting their stake to close to 5%. The offering price of VND 13,628 per share is 50-60% above the trading price over the past month, so the group could spend more than VND 4,000 billion. After the placement, charter capital will rise from VND 9,000 billion to VND 12,000 billion for the first time in 13 years, and foreign ownership is expected to fall from 8.05% at end-2025 to about 6%.
