HCMC – SCI E&C JSC (HNX: SCI) will issue 15.25 million new shares to existing shareholders at VND10,000 per share under a rights offering approved by its shareholders.
The company will finalize the shareholder list on January 14 to implement the offering, according to a resolution adopted at its 2025 annual general meeting.
The shares will be offered at a ratio of two existing shares for one new share, meaning shareholders can buy one new share for every two shares held.

In business results, SCI reported more than VND7.83 billion in profit in the third quarter of last year. However, it posted a cumulative loss of nearly VND4.1 billion for the first nine months of 2025 due mainly to a loss of more than VND20 billion in the first quarter.
