According to documents prepared for its annual general meeting on 18/4, MB Bank (MB) plans to disburse approximately 8,055 billion VND to shareholders. This includes a 10% cash dividend, meaning each share will receive 1,000 VND. Additionally, the bank will issue over 1.2 billion new shares to cover the remaining dividend, at a rate of 15%.
Beyond the dividend payout, MB will offer 805 million new shares to existing shareholders at a 10:1 ratio through a rights issue, priced at 10,000 VND per share. These rights will be transferable only once.
Following the share issuance, the bank expects to sell 200 million shares via private placement to professional securities investors. The selling price will be mutually agreed upon by the parties but will not be lower than the book value.
Should these share issuances be completed, MB's charter capital will increase from 80,549 billion VND to 102,687 billion VND. The bank currently ranks second in the system by this metric.
According to MB's leadership, this year's capital increase plans are essential to enhance financial capacity, expand the network, and invest in profitable channels. Furthermore, these measures meet safety and risk management criteria for business operations.
Regarding its business plan, MB anticipates a pre-tax profit growth of approximately 15% this year compared to 2025, reaching 39,400 billion VND. Total assets are targeted to improve by 28%, surpassing 2,000 trillion VND.
Previously, in 2025, the bank recorded a pre-tax profit of 34,268 billion VND, an 18.9% increase over 2024, exceeding its annual target. Total assets reached over 1,600 trillion VND, a 43.1% rise.
