ANTD.VN - Eximbank has just spoken out about the news that the new Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, Ms. Do Ha Phuong, was asked by shareholders to be dismissed after only 2 days in the "hot seat".
According to Eximbank, on June 30, 2023, on a number of media and social networks, there was a lot of different information posted about Ms. Do Ha Phuong, Chairwoman of Eximbank's Board of Directors, who was elected on June 28, 2023 according to Resolution No. 216/2023/EIB/NQ-HĐQT.
Eximbank believes that the above information affects the image, reputation and brand of the bank. Therefore, to broaden the information, Eximbank provides the following information.
Firstly, as of 13:08 on June 30, 2023, when some information was released that "Just after taking office, the new Chairman of Eximbank was asked to be dismissed by a group of shareholders", Eximbank had not received a request from Mr. Tran Hoang Ninh to terminate the authorization, nomination and request to withdraw Ms. Do Ha Phuong from the Board of Directors as reported in the press.
Second, through information verification, Eximbank found that: The list of shareholders nominating Ms. Do Ha Phuong to the Board of Directors of the Bank for the 7th term (2020-2025) does not include Mr. Tran Hoang Ninh.
In addition, Eximbank affirmed that the procedures for organizing the Board of Directors meeting related to the dismissal of Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu from the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors and the election of Ms. Do Ha Phuong to the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors for the 7th term (2020-2025) complied with the provisions of law, Eximbank's Charter and Eximbank's internal regulations.

“Facing the common challenges of the banking industry as well as Eximbank's internal problems, we are forced to carry out transparent reform activities, aiming for strong changes with new thinking and new management methods to bring Eximbank back to the Top of leading joint stock commercial banks in Vietnam.
Currently, the Board of Directors and Executive Board of Eximbank are making efforts to come up with radical solutions in the management and operation of the bank, focusing on important solutions to help the bank" - Eximbank's announcement said.
The issue of senior personnel at Eximbank has received special attention from the public when the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors has changed continuously with 5 people "sitting in this chair" in just over 5 years. Specifically, from 2015 to March 2019, Mr. Le Minh Quoc held this position.
After the meeting on March 22, Eximbank's Board of Directors issued Resolution 112 to elect Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu as Chairwoman of Eximbank's Board of Directors to replace Mr. Le Minh Quoc.
However, just a few days later, Mr. Le Minh Quoc submitted a petition to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court and the court issued an urgent decision to temporarily suspend the implementation of Resolution 112.
On May 22, 2019, Eximbank continued to issue a Resolution on electing Mr. Cao Xuan Ninh, Member of the Board of Directors, to hold the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eximbank.
But after just over a month in office, Mr. Cao Xuan Ninh submitted his resignation due to ongoing conflicts and disagreements between shareholders and groups of shareholders within the company that could not be reconciled.
On June 25, 2020, Eximbank's Board of Directors approved Mr. Cao Xuan Ninh's resignation and elected Mr. Yasuhiro Saitoh as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
It is worth noting that on April 13, 2021 alone, Eximbank's Board of Directors issued two consecutive resolutions related to this position. Specifically, the Resolution dismissed Mr. Yasuhiro Saitoh from the position of Chairman and elected Mr. Nguyen Quang Thong to temporarily hold the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors on this day, and less than half an hour later, it continued to issue a Resolution on approving the re-election of Mr. Yasuhiro Saitoh as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Next, from February 15, 2022 to June 28, 2023, this position will be held by Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu.
From June 28, 2023, the Bank's Board of Directors will continue to dismiss Ms. Tu from the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors, replacing this position with Ms. Do Ha Phuong.
It is worth mentioning that after only 2 days in the "hot seat" of Ms. Phuong, information appeared that a group of shareholders led by Mr. Tran Hoang Ninh had submitted a request to dismiss her.
Faced with hot issues at Eximbank, the State Bank has had to repeatedly send official dispatches to "remind" the bank.
On June 22, the Banking Inspection and Supervision Agency (SBV) issued a document requesting the Chairman and members of the Board of Directors of Eximbank to seriously perform their duties and powers as prescribed by the Law on Credit Institutions, relevant laws and Eximbank's Charter honestly and carefully, for the best interests of the bank and shareholders.
On June 30, this agency continued to send an official dispatch requesting the Bank's Supervisory Board to clarify the recent personnel change at this bank in the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The Banking Inspection and Supervision Agency requests Eximbank's Board of Supervisors to review and clarify whether the implementation of the following contents by members of Eximbank's Board of Directors and Eximbank's Board of Directors is in accordance with the provisions of law, Eximbank's charter and Eximbank's internal regulations:
Specifically, the procedures for the members of the Board of Directors of Eximbank to request the convening of a meeting of the Board of Directors on June 1, 2023 and the handling by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eximbank of the above request to convene a meeting of the Board of Directors.
At the same time, the Board of Directors members carried out the procedures for notifying the Board of Directors of the meeting after receiving the response from the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eximbank on June 13 as well as the implementation of the procedures for changing Eximbank's personnel according to the notice in documents No. 5562 of the General Director of Eximbank on June 28; the contents according to the report of Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu on June 15.
