IPO in 2025
On October 2, 2024, Masan Consumer announced the resolution of the Board of Directors to approve the transfer of MCH shares from the UPCoM exchange to the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE).

Given the shareholders’ approval of the plan to list MCH on the HOSE, it can be seen that the enterprise’s strategic move is on the right track.
