Loc Troi Group continues to request to postpone the announcement of financial reports
Loc Troi Group has asked for a second time to postpone the announcement of its financial report because "all staff must focus on handling immediate financial issues".
In a document sent to the State Securities Commission and the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX), Loc Troi Group Joint Stock Company (stock code: LTG) requested to postpone the announcement of the second quarter financial report and extend the announcement of the semi-annual audited financial report for 2024.
Previously, Loc Troi requested to postpone the announcement of the second quarter financial report of this year until August 30 due to force majeure. According to regulations, by July 31, enterprises registered on the stock exchange must submit the second quarter financial report.
Loc Troi Group said that due to not being able to overcome force majeure events, the company needs to increase the stability of capital flow for production and business activities, focus on handling immediate financial issues, leading to not being able to publish financial reports on time.
This year's annual general meeting of shareholders of Loc Troi was also held later than previous years. After the meeting, the company encountered some personnel changes, changing some key personnel. This led to the company completing the signing of the audit and review contract for 2024 on August 19.
In mid-July, Loc Troi announced the dismissal of Mr. Nguyen Duy Thuan from the position of General Director. Mr. Huynh Van Thon - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Loc Troi will temporarily manage the company's operations until a new General Director is appointed.
On July 22, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy - Member of Loc Troi's Board of Supervisors submitted a resignation letter. One month later, the company received a resignation letter from a member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Johan Sven Richard Boden. In the resignation letter, Mr. Johan Boden stated that due to personal reasons, he would like to resign from the position of member of the Company's Board of Directors from August 23.
Mr. Johan Boden was elected to the Board of Directors of Loc Troi at the annual general meeting of shareholders held 2 months earlier.
On the other hand, on July 24, Mr. Nguyen My was elected Deputy General Director of Loc Troi Group. In addition, Mr. My is currently Chairman of the Board of Directors of An Giang Plant Protection Company Limited.
