Vinaconex's board of directors (Vinaconex – stock code: VCG) has approved Resolution No. 02/2026 approving the plan to acquire shares in Aegis Medical Joint Stock Company. Under the plan, Vinaconex is expected to purchase 18 million shares, equivalent to 18% of the charter capital of the enterprise. The sellers are three individuals: Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dong (General Director of Vinaconex), Mrs. Do Thi Thanh (Dong's wife) and Mr. Nguyen Xuan Tung (Dong's son). Specifically, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dong (born 1966) will transfer 10 million shares, Mrs. Do Thi Thanh will transfer 4.8 million shares, and Mr. Nguyen Xuan Tung (born 1994) will transfer 3.2 million shares. With Aegis Medical's charter capital reaching VND 1,000 billion as of September 2025, it is estimated that Vinaconex will pay about VND 180 billion for the transaction. Aegis Medical is currently the investor in the Aegis International Health Care Complex project, with a scale of VND 4,500 billion, which Vinaconex began constructing in September 2025. An Quý Hưng Holding Joint Stock Company has officially increased its ownership in Giày Thượng Đình Joint Stock Company (stock code: GTD) to 24% of charter capital, thereby becoming a major shareholder in the business that owns the "golden land" on Nguyen Trai Street, Hanoi. For 2026, Vinaconex aims to achieve revenue of VND 15,423 billion and after-tax profit of VND 1,037 billion. Compared with the 2025 baseline, these targets show a 23% decrease in revenue and a 73% decrease in profit. The company also plans to present to shareholders a plan to issue more than 51.7 million additional shares to raise charter capital to around VND 6,981 billion to bolster financial capacity for multi-sector investments going forward.
