SHB has announced the record date for exercising rights to subscribe to its public share offering for existing shareholders as 06/04/2026. The subscription and payment period will run from 13/04/2026 to 04/05/2026, while rights to subscribe are transferable from 13/04/2026 to 24/04/2026.
SHB has been granted a certificate of registration for an additional public share offering to existing shareholders by the State Securities Commission. The bank plans to issue more than 459 million shares to existing shareholders via rights at a ratio of 100:10. Under this ratio, a shareholder holding 01 share will receive 01 right to buy; for every 100 rights, 10 new shares can be purchased. The issue price is 12,500 dong per share.
Earlier, the State Bank of Vietnam approved SHB’s plan to increase charter capital to 53,442 billion dong. Under the disclosed plan, SHB is expected to issue a total of 750 million shares, representing 16.32% of the outstanding shares. After the capital increase, SHB is expected to be among the four largest private joint-stock banks by charter capital.
In addition to the rights issue to existing shareholders, SHB will offer 200 million shares privately to professional securities investors domestically and internationally, and issue 90.6 million shares under an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).
For the private placement to professional investors, SHB’s Board has approved the list of expected participants. The offering has attracted interest from multiple domestic and international organizations and funds, including:
SHB is among the three banks that were listed earliest and is part of the VN30 group, which comprises the market’s largest-cap stocks. The bank is also described as consistently ranking among the top in liquidity.
Following the upgrade of the Vietnamese stock market, SHB shares are forecast to be included in the FTSE Global All Cap Index. The bank said index inclusion requires meeting strict criteria related to market capitalization, liquidity, and information transparency, indicating SHB is strengthening its position in the capital market to international standards.
Beyond domestic fundraising, SHB is pursuing offshore fundraising with a total committed value and is negotiating up to USD 1 billion.
SHB said it has developed in a safe, transparent, and open manner, with profits growing sustainably and its capital base steadily increasing. The bank stated that its safety, liquidity, and risk management indicators meet better-than-required standards under NNBB regulations and international norms.
In 2025, SHB’s pre-tax profit reached 15,028 billion dong, up 30% year-on-year and achieving 104% of the annual plan set by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The cost-to-income ratio (CIR) was around 22.4%, among the lowest in the sector.
As of 31/12/2025, SHB’s total assets stood at nearly 892,600 billion dong, up 19% from 2024 and approaching the 1 quadrillion-dong milestone. The bank reported a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) above 12% under Basel II, higher than the regulator’s minimum.
SHB’s strategic transformation focuses on four pillars: reform of mechanisms, policies, regulations, and processes; people as primary actors; customer and market-centric focus; and modernization of IT and digital transformation.
SHB will hold its annual general meeting of shareholders in Hanoi on 22 April 2026.
