VIX Securities Joint Stock Company (MCK: VIX) announced the Board of Directors' resolution to convene the 2026 annual general meeting (AGM). Accordingly, May 27, 2026 is the closing date to exercise the right to attend the 2026 AGM of VIX Securities. The meeting is scheduled to take place in June 2026 in Hanoi. The AGM is expected to approve the contents of the meeting in accordance with the company’s charter and applicable law. The time, venue, and agenda will be announced to shareholders in the notice of the AGM. Earlier in March 2026, VIX approved extending the AGM to June 2026 to hold the meeting on the new charter capital after completing a rights offering to existing shareholders, increasing charter capital. Specifically, VIX offered nearly 918.9 million shares to existing shareholders via a rights offering at an issue price of VND 12,000 per share, with a rights issue ratio of 10:6; that is, a shareholder owning 1 share is entitled to 1 right, and every 10 rights entitle the holder to purchase 6 new shares. The period for subscribing and paying for shares ran from March 16, 2026 to April 6, 2026. Following the offering, on April 20, VIX completed distribution of nearly 919 million shares to shareholders. Of these, 886.3 million shares were allocated to rights holders with no transfer restrictions; the remaining 32.5 million shares would be allocated further but would be subject to transfer restrictions for one year. At an issue price of VND 12,000 per share, VIX raised VND 11,026.2 billion. Of this amount, VND 5,013 billion will be used to bolster capital for proprietary trading; VND 5,013 billion for margin lending; and VND 1,000 billion to contribute capital to VIX’s crypto asset trading platform VIXEX. Disbursement is expected in Q2 2026, immediately after the offering. Upon completion of the offering, VIX increased its charter capital from VND 15,314 billion to nearly VND 24,503 billion.
