**Petrovietnam Transportation Corporation (Petrotrans) Announces Rights Issue with a 3:2 Allocation Ratio**
The allocation ratio is 3:2, meaning that for every 3 shares owned, shareholders will be offered 2 new shares. The offering period is expected to run from Q4 2024 to Q2 2025, and the new shares will be freely transferable.
Shareholders with pre-emptive rights are allowed to transfer their rights to others once, and the transferee is not permitted to transfer them to a third party.
For any unsubscribed or renounced shares in the rights issue, the Board of Directors will determine the allocation of these shares to other investors at a price not lower than the offering price, with a one-year lock-up period.
The offering price is set at VND 10,000 per share, representing a 24% discount to the closing price of VND 13,100 on December 4th. The total offering value is approximately VND 334 billion.
If successful, Petrotrans will increase its charter capital from VND 500 billion to over VND 833 billion, equivalent to over 83.3 million shares.
The proceeds from the rights issue are intended to be used as follows: approximately VND 294 billion will be allocated for the investment in a new chemical/oil product tanker with a deadweight of 19,000-25,000 DWT, and the remaining VND 40 billion will be used to repay bank loans.
