(NLDO) - Vingroup Corporation contributed 1,000 billion VND in charter capital (holding 51% of shares) to establish a company to research, develop and apply multi-purpose robots.
On January 10, the Board of Directors of Vingroup Corporation (stock code: VIC) approved the participation in contributing capital to establish VinMotion Multi-purpose Robot Research, Development and Application Joint Stock Company. The charter capital is 1,000 billion VND, of which Vingroup holds 51% of the shares.
On the same day, Vingroup also announced that SK Investment Vina II (under SK Group) had registered to sell more than 50.8 million shares by negotiation from January 16 to February 14. The purpose of the transaction is to restructure the investment portfolio.
If the sale is successful, the Korean group will only hold more than 180.6 million shares, reducing its ownership ratio from 6.05% to 4.72% of capital, meaning it is no longer a major shareholder.
Ms. Chun Chae Rhan, representative of SK Group, has also just submitted her resignation as a member of the Board of Directors from today.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Vingroup, said that SK's sale of shares is part of the group's strategy to re-plan its investment portfolio in international markets in general.
SK still expressed confidence in the potential of the Vietnamese market in general and Vingroup in particular with diverse business opportunities and leading positions in most business areas. For Vingroup, SK is still an important partner.
"The two sides are still discussing a number of cooperation opportunities to maximize development potential in the coming time. In the context that the Vietnamese economy has undergone a spectacular recovery period after COVID-19 and is preparing for strong acceleration in 2025. Therefore, Vingroup Corporation proactively prepares resources, optimally manages cash flow, and takes advantage of capital mobilization opportunities from domestic and international markets when conditions permit in order to develop sustainably," said Mr. Quang.
