Currently, Setra has 20 bond issues in circulation (with codes from SET.H2025.01 to SET.H2025.20) with a total value of VND 2,000 billion, an interest rate of 11% per annum, issued in August 2020, and expected to mature in August 2025.

During the 7th interest payment period on March 01, 2024, the Company was unable to make any interest payments, citing reasons of not being able to arrange payment sources. The total amount payable during this interest payment period amounted to more than VND 337 billion.

At the beginning of 2023, Setra held a meeting with bondholders to announce its inability to pay interest, stating that all its bank accounts and other assets were frozen by investigative authorities due to their involvement in the Van Thinh Phat case. The Company had to compile a list of assets to submit to the competent authorities, requesting permission to sell these assets to generate funds for bondholder payments.

In September 2023, the 20 bond codes of Setra were identified by the Investigation Police Agency of the Ministry of Public Security as related to the case of “Fraudulent Appropriation of Property” occurring at Van Thinh Phat Group Joint Stock Company. Along with 5 other bond codes issued by related companies, the total amount involved in the fraud reached VND 30 trillion.
