VEFAC is going to issue shares to finance a number of its projects, including the Vietnam Exhibition Fair Centre to be built in Dong Anh district, Hanoi.
The Vietnam Exhibition Fair Centre JSC (VEFAC), a subsidiary of Vingroup, has announced its plan to increase its chartered capital from $72.6 million to $604 million via the issuance of 1.2 million additional shares to its existing shareholders.
Nearly half of the total $532 million raised will be used for the construction of the Vietnam Exhibition Fair Centre alone in the northern district of Dong Anh in Hanoi.
Apart from the exhibition fair centre, the funds will also be utilised to finance the firm’s commercial and residential complex on 148 Giang Vo street and the South Thang Long Urban Complex in Me Tri, Hanoi.
The existing national exhibition centre located on Giang Vo street would then be rebuilt into a shopping mall and residential housing project.
