Regarding the ESOP issuance, HAH will launch it in Q4/2025, offering shares to the Board of Directors and employees of HAH and its subsidiaries. The ESOP shares will have a 3-year transfer restriction.
HAH has announced the list of 610 employees participating in the ESOP program. The top allocations include Chairman of the Board Vu Thanh Hai (800,000 shares), Senior Advisor Vu Ngoc Son (640,000 shares), and Executive Board Member Nguyen Ngoc Tuan (600,000 shares).
Post-issuance, HAH’s total shares will increase from approximately 168.9 million to nearly 171.4 million, corresponding to a capital size of approximately VND 1,714 billion.
On October 1, HAH’s Board of Directors also passed another notable resolution, requesting a medium-term credit facility of VND 220 billion from Vietnam Export-Import Bank (Eximbank) – Hai Phong Branch. This loan will finance the purchase of the second-hand vessel Optima, which will serve as collateral for the loan.
The Optima, a 14-year-old container ship built in 2011, has the IMO number 9609419, is flagged in the Bahamas, and has a capacity of 1,100 TEU with the call sign C6YY8. HAH acquired the vessel from Legenda Maritime and Kotoku Kaiun under contract number NIPPONSALE 1993 dated July 17, 2025. Following the transfer, the ship will be renamed Haian Iris and flagged in Vietnam.
