Notably, during the period, Mr. Duc's company paid and transferred the bond debt from BIDV to new bondholders. As of June 30, the bond debt at BIDV was only 1,099 billion VND.

Specifically, during the period, a part of the bond with an original value of VND2,000 billion (Group B bond) and accumulated bond interest up to May 20 with a value of more than VND2,022 billion was transferred to new bondholders.

Regarding this group, Hoang Anh Gia Lai recently consulted shareholders about converting debt by issuing 210 million shares at a price of VND12,000/unit.

It is expected that after the exchange issuance, Huong Viet will hold 4.74% of the company's capital. Some other individuals will hold more than 3% of the capital.

If this more than 2,000 billion VND is converted, Hoang Anh Gia Lai's debt will be greatly reduced. Mr. Duc once hoped to be able to resolve all debts and the group's financial report at the end of this year would be "extremely beautiful".
