HCMC – The Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HOSE) has announced the compulsory delisting of AMD and GAB, which are the final two stocks related to FLC Group on the stock market.
The stocks, belonging to FLC Stone Mining And Investment JSC (AMD) and FLC Mining Investment & Asset Management Joint Stock Company (GAB), were already suspended from trading and placed under special watch.
This is a disciplinary measure taken by the exchange due to the companies’ delays in submitting their 2022 semi-annual earnings report for over six months and the audited 2022 annual income statement over 30 days after the deadline.
Similar to the cases of FLC and ROS, which are another two FLC-related stocks, the HOSE has said that this decision aims to protect the rights of investors and ensures compliance with law.
FLC Group has five related stocks listed on the southern stock exchange, namely AMD, GAB, ROS, HAI and FLC, all of which have faced compulsory delisting due to violations of information disclosure rules.
Prior to its delisting, GAB, one of the priciest shares on the HCMC market with a price of VND200,000 per share, lost its liquidity last April after FLC Group’s then-chairman Trinh Van Quyet was arrested for stock market manipulation.
Meanwhile, the price of AMD shares plunged to VND1,110 per share due to sell-offs.
Although the HOSE has delisted AMD and GAB for failure to disclose information as required, the firm is still a public company, so it must trade its shares on the Unlisted Public Company Market (UPCoM) as prescribed by Article 133 of Government Decree 155.
However, FLC-related stocks still faced trading restrictions on the UPCoM market slapped by the Hanoi Stock Exchange due to their failure to disclose information as required.
At the time of announcement, GAB was priced at VND196,400 per share, and AMD at VND1,110.
The benchmark VN-Index of the HOSE ended higher today, June 28, with a gain of 4.02 points from Tuesday at 1,138.35 points, extending its winning streak to the seventh session, with 201 winners and 228 losers.
