Masan Group Corporation has just announced that Bain Capital, the world's leading private equity fund with approximately $180 billion in assets under management, has agreed to invest at least $200 million in equity in Masan Group at a value of VND85,000 per share. The proceeds from this transaction will be used to enhance Masan's financial position and optimize its balance sheet.
Mr. Barnaby Lyons, a member of Bain Capital's leadership team, shared that this is the first deal in a strategic investment project in Vietnam.
He believes that the group chaired by billionaire Nguyen Dang Quang has solid foundations, vision and appropriate growth strategies to succeed in an attractive and high-growth consumer market like Vietnam.
Depending on capital needs and market conditions, Vietnamese enterprises can increase investment up to 500 million USD.
From 2022 to 2040, Vietnam is expected to be the fastest growing consumer market in Southeast Asia with an expected annual growth rate of 7.7%. This impressive growth rate is due to the increasingly rapid urbanization process, the explosion of a consumer class with increasingly higher incomes, more diverse needs, going beyond basic needs, towards lifestyle and financial experiences.
In the Vietnamese consumer market, Masan has been transforming from a branded consumer goods manufacturer into a corporation owning a retail consumer platform.
