DIC Corp will use a shareholder reward program to encourage participation in its 2026 annual general meeting (AGM) and reduce the risk of postponement due to insufficient voting rights. Under the plan, shareholders holding at least 2 million shares will receive up to 20 million VND, while other shareholders will receive 10 VND per share exercised.
DIC Corp has opened an electronic attendance and voting system for the 2026 AGM and launched the gift program to encourage shareholder participation. The company said payments will be made via bank transfer after confirming attendance and online voting, including cases previously authorized.
The company described the program as a measure to help ensure the AGM can proceed by meeting the required voting-right share participation threshold.
At the end of 2025, DIC Corp had more than 89,000 shareholders holding nearly 800 million DIG shares. The average shareholder held more than 8,900 shares. Chairman Nguyen Hung Cuong is the single largest shareholder, holding 8.61% of charter capital, equivalent to more than 68.5 million shares.
This year, Ho Chi Minh City Infrastructure Investment and Technical Development Joint Stock Company (CII) changed how it invites shareholders to attend the meeting. CII said a shareholder only needs to register to attend (directly or by proxy) to receive a cash transfer from the company. Accordingly, a shareholder holding more than 2.23 million shares could receive more than 22.3 million VND by completing attendance registration.
Previously, CII also used a cash transfer based on shareholding quantity, but the AGM did not always succeed on the first attempt.
