Mr. Lê Hữu Báu, husband of Ms. Nguyễn Thị Nga (Standing Vice Chairwoman of SeABank's Board), bought 8 million SSB shares on 23 October 2026 via a negotiated trade, raising his ownership from 1.903% to 2.133% of charter capital. In the opposite direction, Ms. Nga's son, Mr. Lê Tuấn Anh, sold 673,500 shares between 23 September and 22 October 2026, out of 8 million shares registered for sale; the sale was not fully completed because market conditions were unsuitable.
