After the deal, Ms. Hoa increased her ownership from over 1.4 million shares (equivalent to 4.47% ownership) to nearly 1.6 million shares (equivalent to 5.04% ownership), officially becoming a major shareholder.

Recently, another individual named Nguyen Thi Hoa is one of the four individual investors participating in the private placement of nearly 6.5 million individual shares of TDG GLOBAL Investment Corporation (HOSE: TDG), scheduled to take place in the first two quarters of 2024.

Among the remaining three investors, Mr. Nguyen Ho Phuong and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Loi are the biological father and biological mother of Mr. Nguyen Ho Hung – Chairman of the Board of Directors of APG Securities Corporation (HOSE: APG).

With a selling price of 10,000 dong/share, the expected amount to be raised is 64.6 billion dong, aimed at investing in the BAC SON 2 Industrial Cluster project in Hong Vi hamlet, Chien Thang commune, Bac Son district, Lang Son province.

The private placement is believed to be related to capital mobilization for the establishment of Power Trade Joint Stock Company, which operates in real estate business and also has its address in Hong Vi hamlet, Chien Thang commune, Bac Son district, Lang Son province. Prior to this, in December 2023, the TDG Board of Directors approved an allocation of 6 billion dong – almost equivalent to the capital raised from the aforementioned private placement – to contribute capital to the establishment of Power Trade Joint Stock Company.

Notably, GKM – where Ms. Hoa has just become a major shareholder – is also listed as a shareholder contributing capital to the establishment of Power Trade, alongside TDG and three other shareholders including An Truong An Investment Joint Stock Company (UPCoM: ATG) and two individuals, Mr. Vo Qui Lam and Mrs. Tran Thanh Hang – individuals who also participated in the private placement of TDG shares mentioned above.
