SHS implements three stock issuance plans, raising charter capital to over VND 17,000 billion

Saigon - Hanoi Securities JSC (HNX: SHS) has just announced the issuance of more than 894 million shares to increase charter capital through 3 options. This is a strategic step to help SHS improve its financial capacity, expand its operational scale and consolidate its position in the stock market.

Specifically, SHS will implement three issuance options as follows:

(1) Issuing shares to pay 2023 dividend at a rate of 5%

- Details: Notice of Share Issuance to Pay the 2023 Dividend.

(2) Issuing shares to increase share capital from equity capital at a rate of 5%

- Details: Notice of Share Issuance to increase share capital from owner’s equity capital

(3) Public offering of shares to existing shareholders

- Implementation ratio: 1:1

- Offering price: VND 10,000 / share

- Registration and payment period for share purchases: From May 7, 2025, to May 27, 2025.

Details: Notice of Public Share Offering.

The final registration date for all three options is April 25, 2025. Once these issuance rounds are completed, SHS will see its charter capital increase from over VND 8,132 billion to over VND 17,076 billion, positioning itself as one of the top three securities companies in the industry in terms of charter capital.

SHS plans pre-tax profit of over VND 1,600 billion, cash dividend of 10%.

In addition to the capital increase plan, SHS recently announced meeting documents for the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled for April 10, held both in-person and online. At the Meeting, SHS will present its 2025 business plan to shareholders with a revenue target of nearly VND 2,520 billion and pre-tax profit of about VND 1,601 billion, up 26% and 29% respectively compared to 2024. If achieved, this will be SHS' highest revenue and profit in the past four years.

The company will also propose to shareholders its 2024 profit distribution plan, including setting aside VND40 billion for funds and spending more than VND 813 billion to pay cash dividends at a rate of 10%. This demonstrates SHS' commitment to balancing between expanding business and ensuring direct benefits for its shareholders.

The combination of capital increase and dividend payment helps SHS both strengthen its financial foundation and create conditions for shareholders to benefit from positive business results. With the new capital, SHS will strengthen its financial capacity, expand core business segments, invest heavily in technology and improve service quality. Simultaneously, the company seeks additional flexibility to diversify its investment portfolio, increase market share, and seize opportunities from the potential upgrade of Vietnam's stock market classification.

Our company will continue to update information regarding the Issuance to ensure that shareholders and investors are informed and can exercise the rights accordingly.
