This marks the second time in March that Doan Nguyen Duc (Bau Duc), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoang Anh Gia Lai, has registered to increase his ownership stake in the company.

Before this transaction, Mr. Duc held nearly 310 million HAG shares, equivalent to 24.45% of the charter capital. If completed, his HAG shareholding will increase to approximately 314 million shares, representing approximately 24.77%.

The transaction is expected to take place from 26/3 to 24/4 via market orders on the exchange. Based on a market price of approximately 15,000 VND per share during the morning session on 23/3, Mr. Duc could spend approximately 60 billion VND for this transaction (excluding fees).

Previously, the HAGL Chairman completed the purchase of 5 million shares registered earlier this month.

Mr. Duc's move to increase his stake comes as the company reports improved business results. In 2025, HAGL achieved net revenue of 7,440 billion VND, a nearly 29% increase compared to the previous year. After-tax profit reached 2,243 billion VND, doubling the same period; after-tax profit attributable to parent company shareholders exceeded 2,126 billion VND, with an EPS of approximately 1,912 VND.

In the market, Hoang Anh Gia Lai's HAG shares have recently adjusted in line with the general trend. Middle East tensions put pressure on logistics costs and input prices, causing the stock to sometimes fall below 15,000 VND per share.

On 20/3, HAGL also announced an adjustment to the maturity date of the bond batch issued in 2016 (code HAGLBOND16.26) - Group A, from 30/12/2026 to 26/3/2026, approximately 9 months earlier.

The company stated that it paid 700 billion VND for this bond batch on 23/1, including 280 billion VND in principal and 420 billion VND in interest. Subsequently, approximately 1,577 billion VND in interest remains unpaid, with an annual interest rate of approximately 7.7%, including accrued interest.

HAGL expects to hold its annual general meeting of shareholders for 2026 on 17/4, with key agendas including: business plans, profit distribution schemes, and board of directors' remuneration. Documents are expected to be released from 27/3.
