At the annual 2024 General Meeting of Shareholders on May 21, all of Sonadezi Giang Dien’s proposals were passed.
Sonadezi Giang Dien sets a cautious target for 2024, with a total revenue of over VND 417 billion and an after-tax profit of more than VND 122 billion, respectively 5% and 35% lower than the 2023 performance. The company plans to maintain a 15% dividend payout this year.
SZG plans to lease 9 hectares of industrial land and lease/transfer 3 factories (depending on the actual construction progress) in 2024.
In terms of project development, the company will continue to coordinate with relevant departments to resolve issues related to compensation and land clearance for project implementation, as well as process the necessary paperwork for land use rights certificates for 5 villas in the An Binh Residential Area expansion project.
Additionally, SZG plans to invest nearly VND 136 billion in construction; over VND 73 billion will be allocated to the factory cluster rental project, and approximately VND 59 billion will be used for the Giang Dien Industrial Park project to complete technical infrastructure construction and several auxiliary items.
Furthermore, the SZG General Meeting of Shareholders approved the election of Mr. Hoang Sy Quyet, the General Director, as a member of the Board of Directors, replacing Mr. Truong Dinh Hiep, and Ms. Nguyen Thi Huyen Trang as the Head of the Company’s Control Board for the 2022-2027 term.
Mr. Quyet was nominated by the major shareholder, Tuan Loc Construction Investment Joint Stock Company, which owns 32.79% of SZG’s capital. In addition to his role as General Director of SZG, he also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Petroleum Investment and Exploitation Port of Phuoc An Joint Stock Company (UPCoM: PAP) and a member of the Board of Directors and General Director of Nhon Trach Investment Joint Stock Company (OTC: NIC).
