According to the approved plan, SHB will increase capital through three methods: a public offering of shares to existing shareholders, a private placement to professional securities investors, and the issuance of shares under an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).
Upon completion of the plan, the bank expects to be among the top four private commercial banks with the largest charter capital in the system. This capital increase is anticipated to strengthen SHB's financial capacity, expand its operational scale, and create room for growth plans in the next phase.
On the stock market, SHB shares are among the early-listed banks and are currently included in the VN30 basket, representing large-cap and highly liquid stocks. Recently, FChoice recognized the bank's shares as "bank stock of the year", based on criteria such as size, liquidity, governance, and information transparency.
