HCMC – VietBank has received approval from the Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HOSE) to list more than one billion VBB shares on the exchange.
The approval covers over one billion shares of Vietnam Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (VietBank), equivalent to the lender’s current charter capital of nearly VND10.77 trillion.
The listing is expected to improve the liquidity of VBB shares and attract greater interest from domestic and foreign investment funds.
Earlier this month, the State Bank of Vietnam approved VietBank’s plan to raise its charter capital to VND15.55 trillion.
Under a plan approved by shareholders at the bank’s 2026 annual general meeting, VietBank will increase charter capital by VND4.78 trillion through three share issuance rounds.
The first round involves the issuance of nearly 107.7 million shares, equal to 10% of existing capital, using retained earnings and reserve funds. The issuance is valued at nearly VND1.08 trillion.
The second round will issue 296.14 million shares, equivalent to 25% of existing capital, to existing shareholders, raising VND2.96 trillion.
The third round consists of more than 74 million shares, or 5% of capital, under an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), valued at more than VND740 billion.
Upon completion of the three issues, VietBank’s charter capital will rise from VND10.77 trillion to VND15.55 trillion.
