HCMC – SCI Joint Stock Company, which trades its S99 shares on the Hanoi Stock Exchange, plans to establish a subsidiary with total charter capital of VND1.2 trillion to get involved in energy development projects.
This new subsidiary’s capital base will exceed that of its parent company, whose charter capital is VND940 billion. The firm’s board of directors approved the decision on June 19, with the new subsidiary named SCI Energy JSC.
The new subsidiary will be headquartered at the Golden Palace building in Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi. SCI will own 99.992% of the subsidiary, with the establishment procedures expected to be completed this month.
Nguyen Cong Hung, chairman of SCI Joint Stock Company, will control SCI’s stake in SCI Energy JSC. This venture will be the fifth subsidiary of SCI.
The firm also decided to pay a 5% share dividend for 2023, meaning shareholders will get five new shares for every 100 shares held. With nearly 94 million outstanding shares, the company plans to issue around 4.7 million shares for the dividend payment.
Additionally, it plans to issue over 2.8 million shares at VND10,000 per share under its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) and offer over 50.7 million shares to the public.
The shares issued via the ESOP will not be transferable for one year. The proceeds from the share sales will be used to invest in two wind power projects in Quang Tri Province, with a total capacity of 56 megawatts.
If all plans are successful, the company’s charter capital will rise to VND1,523 billion, or 152.3 million shares.
