Saigon Real Estate Joint Stock Corporation (Saigonres, stock code: SGR, listed on HoSE) has announced insider trading activities.
According to the announcement, Mr. Pham Thu, Chairman of Saigonres’ Board of Directors, has registered to transfer 9.8 million SGR shares. The transaction is expected to take place from June 9, 2025, to July 7, 22025, through matched orders and put-through transactions.
If the transaction is successful, Mr. Pham Thu’s ownership in Saigonres will decrease from over 27.8 million shares to over 18 million shares, reducing his stake from 39.84% to 25.82%.
Previously, on May 7, 2025, Mr. Pham Thu successfully purchased nearly 9.9 million SGR shares out of the 20 million shares he registered to buy in the company’s private placement offering. The reason for not completing the full transaction was due to the instability of the stock market.
