Eximbank believes that this information has caused public confusion, affected the psychology of investors and customers, and violated the rights of bank shareholders. In particular, it has seriously affected the image, brand, and reputation of Eximbank.

Eximbank affirms that it always complies with the disclosure of information in accordance with the provisions of law, ensuring transparency and respect for shareholders and investors. Therefore, Eximbank recommends that shareholders, investors, customers, partners and press agencies be cautious with information sources of unknown origin and unverified nature, which are subjective and speculative in nature related to the bank's operations.

Previously, Eximbank posted documents for the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to take place in November 2024. Notably, the General Meeting will be held in Hanoi, instead of in Ho Chi Minh City as before. One of the proposals submitted by the Board of Directors to shareholders for consideration is the relocation of the bank's headquarters (currently located at Vincom Center, 72 Le Thanh Ton, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City).

Eximbank affirmed that this proposal comes from necessary reasons arising from the bank's internal operations. The relocation of the headquarters will be discussed publicly and transparently at the General Meeting of Shareholders and will only be approved if it reaches an approval rate of over 51% of the total votes of the shareholders attending the meeting. The dossier for the relocation of the headquarters must also be considered and approved by the State Bank of Vietnam according to regulations.

Eximbank also said it is asking the authorities to support the verification and clarification of the motive for the act of disseminating false documents to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the bank, customers, shareholders and partners.

According to the list of shareholders owning 1% or more of charter capital at Eximbank, updated to October 10, 2024, Gelex Group Corporation is still the largest shareholder at Eximbank with a holding ratio of 10% of charter capital, equivalent to more than 174,695 million shares.

Notably, this list suddenly reappears with a name once familiar to Eximbank shareholders, which is the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank).

According to the published list, Vietcombank is currently the second largest shareholder at Eximbank with a holding ratio of 4.51%, equivalent to more than 78,793 million shares.

The remaining 3 shareholders on the list that must be announced include: VIX Securities JSC 3.58% (more than 62.345 million shares); two members of the Board of Directors, Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu holding 1.12% (equivalent to more than 19.359 million shares) and Ms. Le Thi Mai Loan holding 1.03% (equivalent to more than 17.940 million shares).
