Bao Viet Securities Company has just announced the sale of 15 million IBC shares, equivalent to about 18% of the capital of Apax Holdings Investment Joint Stock Company. These are the pledged securities owned by Egroup Education Corporation. At the close of today's session (June 23), IBC reached 2,420 VND, down 30 VND compared to yesterday. Compared to a year ago, IBC shares have plummeted nearly 90%.
Specifically, Bao Viet plans to trade from June 22 to July 12 through order matching or negotiation. Egroup is an organization related to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuy - currently Chairman of the Board of Directors of Apax Holdings. In the past year, this organization has had tens of millions of IBC shares sold by the securities company.

IBC shares have been transferred from controlled to restricted trading by HOSE since May 23. IBC investors can only trade shares in the afternoon session of the trading day.
