ANTD.VN - The group of shareholders owning more than 5% of Eximbank's capital continues to petition to dismiss Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu and Mr. Nguyen Ho Nam from the positions of Board members.
Internal issues of the Vietnam Export Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Eximbank, stock code: EIB) continue to heat up as, before the extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) taking place on November 28, a series of proposals from shareholder groups continue to be included in the meeting agenda.
Most recently, this Bank continued to announce unusual information about adding an agenda for an extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, updating the report on handling the petition of a group of shareholders owning more than 5% of shares.
Specifically, the Board of Directors approved and included the proposal of the group of shareholders owning more than 5% of Eximbank shares in the document dated November 19, 2024 in the agenda to be presented at the extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on "dismissal from the position of Board member for Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu and Mr. Nguyen Ho Nam as deemed necessary according to the provisions of Point e, Clause 4, Article 47 of the Charter; Point e, Clause 1, Article 31 of the Governance Regulations; Point e, Clause 1, Article 9 of the Regulations on organization and operation of the Board of Directors; Point d, Clause 1, Article 46 of the Law on Credit Institutions 2024".
Specifically, in the case of Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu, this group of major shareholders said that according to the bank's management report (January 1 - December 31, 2023), Ms. Tu was absent from 4 meetings of the Board of Directors and did not authorize other members. During the year, Ms. Tu only attended 17/21 meetings, equivalent to 81%. At the same time, Ms. Tu also did not participate in collecting the Board of Directors' opinions in writing 23 times. The total number of times she attended collecting the Board of Directors' opinions in writing reached 220/243 times, accounting for an attendance rate of 91%.
The semi-annual management report for 2024 (January 1 - June 30, 2024) also shows that Ms. Tu did not participate in collecting shareholders' opinions in writing once. The total number of times she participated in the first half of this year was 108/109 times, accounting for 99.08%.
“Thus, the above information shows that Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu did not fully attend the Board of Directors meetings and the times when the Board of Directors' opinions were collected in writing,” said the group of shareholders owning more than 5% of capital at Eximbank.
In the case of Mr. Nguyen Ho Nam, shareholders said that according to the 2024 semi-annual report, within 2 months of joining the Board of Directors (starting as a member of the Board of Directors of Eximbank from April 26, 2024), he did not participate in collecting written opinions from the Board of Directors twice. The total number of times he attended was 36/38, accounting for 94.74%.
The group of shareholders said that Mr. Nam did not fully attend the meetings to get written opinions from the Board of Directors.
Therefore, the group of shareholders proposed to the General Meeting of Shareholders to approve the dismissal of Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu and Mr. Nguyen Ho Nam from the positions of members of the Board of Directors of Eximbank for the 7th term (2020-2025).
Currently, Eximbank's Board of Directors has 7 members: Chairman of the Board of Directors Nguyen Canh Anh, 4 Vice Chairmen of the Board of Directors: Mr. Nguyen Ho Nam, Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu, Ms. Do Ha Phuong and Mr. Tran Tan Loc, Board Member - Mr. Pham Quang Dung, independent Board Member - Mr. Tran Anh Thang.
Mr. Nguyen Ho Nam was recently elected to the Board of Directors of Eximbank at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on April 26. Before joining the Board of Directors of Eximbank, Mr. Nam held the position of Chairman of Bamboo Capital Joint Stock Company.
Meanwhile, Ms. Luong Thi Cam Tu joined Eximbank in 2018. In February 2022, Ms. Tu was elected as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Eximbank. By the end of June 2023, Ms. Tu left the position of Chairwoman of the Board of Directors and moved to the position of Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Directors until now. After Ms. Tu, the position of Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Eximbank was transferred to Ms. Do Ha Phuong and currently to Mr. Nguyen Canh Anh.
Previously, a group of shareholders owning more than 5% of Eximbank's capital also submitted a petition to dismiss Mr. Ngo Tony from the position of Head of the Board of Supervisors.
The reason given by the group of shareholders is: "Mr. Ngo Tony has abused/taken advantage of his position and power, seriously violating the provisions of Eximbank's Charter and the Regulations on organization and operation of Eximbank's Board of Supervisors, causing serious impacts on the rights and interests of shareholders."
At this General Meeting of Shareholders, in addition to the personnel content, another important content of Eximbank is to discuss the relocation of the head office from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. The proposed head office location is 27-29 Ly Thai To, Ly Thai To Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi City.
