Duc Giang Chemical Group Joint Stock Company (ticker: DGC, HoSE) has extended the time to hold its 2026 annual general meeting (AGM). The meeting is expected to take place on June 30, 2026, to await the results of the vote to fill board seats at the 2026 extraordinary general meeting on May 8, 2026, and to receive the audited financial statements for 2025.
At the upcoming 2026 extraordinary general meeting, DGC will propose to shareholders the dismissal of three board members for the 2024–2029 term: Chairman Đào Hữu Huyền, Vice Chairman Đào Hữu Duy Anh (son of Huyền), and board member Phạm Văn Hùng.
These individuals are among fourteen defendants prosecuted in connection with the case described as “Pollution; Violations of regulations on exploration, exploitation of resources; and violations of accounting rules causing serious consequences,” involving Duc Giang Chemical and related units.
To ensure the board’s required number of members, the AGM will also elect three additional directors for the remaining term of 2024–2029. The list of valid candidates will be announced before the meeting based on nominations and applications by shareholders and shareholder groups.
Another key item on the AGM agenda is the authorization for the board to select an independent audit firm. The candidate firms are A&C Audit and Consulting Co., Ltd. and UHY Audit and Consulting Co., Ltd.
The selected firm will audit the company’s 2025 financial statements and review the semi-annual financial statements, as well as audit the 2026 financial statements.
Duc Giang Chemical previously sent a letter to the State Securities Commission and the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE) regarding the late filing of its 2025 audited financial statements after March 30, 2026.
According to DGC management, the delay occurred because many accounting files and documents are sealed and retained at the Police Investigation Agency, preventing the company from completing the audit. DGC said that once the auditing process continues, it will disclose information.
As the audit report could not be published, DGC shares have been placed under a warning since April 23.
