SSI Securities Corporation (ticker SSI) has announced its Board resolution to implement the share issuance plan under its employee stock option program (ESOP). The company plans to issue 10 million ESOP shares at a price of 10,000 dong per share. SSI expects to use the proceeds to supplement margin lending activities. The implementation period is expected to be in 2026–2027, or as determined by the Board of Directors and after approval from UBCKNN (State Securities Commission of Vietnam).
SSI shares are currently trading at around 28,500 dong per share, implying a market capitalization of more than 71,000 billion dong. The ESOP issuance price of 10,000 dong per share is significantly lower than the current market price.
Under the disclosed allocation list, 295 employees are expected to receive ESOP shares. Notable allocations include:
The ESOP is one of two capital-raising options approved at SSI’s 2026 annual general meeting. In addition to the ESOP, SSI plans to issue shares from equity capital (bonus shares) at a 5:1 ratio, meaning shareholders holding 5 shares will receive 1 additional share.
The company also indicated that the number of additional shares planned to issue is 500.6 million. If completed successfully, SSI’s charter capital would increase to 30,000 billion dong.
In its consolidated Q1 2026 financial statements, SSI reported total revenue of 3.295 trillion dong and pre-tax profit of nearly 1.593 trillion dong.
For 2026, SSI targets revenue of 15.660 trillion dong and pre-tax profit of 5.838 trillion dong, representing increases of 19% and 15%, respectively, compared with 2025.
