VPBank Securities (VPBS) plans to issue a maximum of 40,000 corporate bonds in up to 5 tranches during Q3-Q4/2025. These non-convertible, unsecured bonds will establish direct debt obligations for VPBS.

The bonds have a 12-month term with a maximum interest rate of 8% per annum, payable every 3, 6, or 12 months. Principal repayment occurs at maturity, except in cases of early redemption.

With a face value of VND 100 million per bond, VPBank’s securities arm aims to raise up to VND 4 trillion. The funds will be disbursed in Q3-Q4/2025.

VPBS intends to use the proceeds to repay principal and interest on debts maturing between October 2025 and June 2026.

As of June 30, 2025, VPBS had no outstanding bond debt but relied heavily on short-term loans. Short-term debt surged from VND 9.135 trillion to VND 32.202 trillion, increasing its share of total capital from 34% to 63%.

Key lenders include BIDV, VietinBank, TPBank, and other individuals/entities contributing over VND 10.230 trillion in total debt.

Key drivers include: cash rising from VND 2.313 trillion to VND 14.773 trillion; FVTPL assets increasing from VND 12.538 trillion to VND 15.204 trillion (mainly fair-value bonds/unlisted shares); and loans growing from VND 9.513 trillion to VND 17.758 trillion (primarily margin lending).

IPO Launch in October

Beyond debt financing, VPBS plans an initial public offering (IPO) of up to 375 million shares (25% of outstanding shares). Post-IPO, capital is expected to rise from VND 15 trillion to VND 18.75 trillion.

The IPO is scheduled for Q3/2025–Q2/2026. Funds will allocate: 70% for margin lending and legal operations; 30% for securities investment/proprietary trading. Proceeds will disburse in Q4/2025 and 2026.
