If the transaction is completed, Tan Thanh Do’s ownership ratio will increase from 15.21% to 18.35%, raising its holding from 14.55 million to 17.55 million shares. With the market price hovering around VND 21,000/share, the expected expenditure is about VND 63 billion, thereby pushing the total ownership of the group related to Chairman Tran Ngoc Dan to nearly 60%.
This move follows a series of purchases since the beginning of July, when Tan Thanh Do completed an agreement to acquire 6.5 million shares, increasing its stake from 8.42% to 15.21%. Market data shows that the company spent approximately VND 140 billion on this deal, equivalent to an average of VND 21,500/share.
