Saigon - Hanoi Bank (SHB) is drawing particular attention as its 2026 annual general meeting (AGM) approaches, with the bank reporting that it expects around 4,000 shareholders to attend—one of the highest figures in the Vietnamese banking system during the final week of April.
According to information SHB sent to shareholders, the bank’s 2026 ordinary general meeting is expected to be attended by approximately 4,000 shareholders. The figure stands out compared with recent bank AGMs, which typically draw a few hundred to just over 1,000 attendees.
Given the large shareholder base, SHB said it would send full meeting documents and gifts to shareholders who cannot attend in person for objective reasons, based on the information registered by shareholders (account number and bank name).
A source cited by the article said the gifts SHB sends to shareholders are cash, as in previous years.
The AGM is scheduled to take place in the afternoon of April 22 in Hanoi. SHB closed the list of eligible attendees in mid-March.
Alongside the AGM, SHB plans to present its 2025 dividend distribution with a total payout of 16%, comprising 6% in cash and 10% in shares. The article notes that SHB remains among the few banks that still pay cash dividends during the current AGM season.
SHB also plans to raise capital through a share issuance, aiming to lift charter capital to nearly 60,000 billion dong.
In its AGM materials, SHB targets double-digit profit growth and improved asset quality, reflecting an ambition to expand scale while maintaining “sustainable, safe” growth.
The article places SHB’s AGM within the broader banking sector context, where many banks are rebalancing growth and capital adequacy. In that environment, 2026 AGMs are not only forums to approve business plans, but also key events for shareholder engagement.
For SHB, the projected 4,000 attendees underscore strong investor interest in the bank’s next growth phase and dividend policy.
