Immediately afterwards, the company's board of directors passed a resolution accepting Mr. Son's resignation, effective from November 12.

Along with the decision to dismiss Mr. Son, SAM's board of directors elected Mr. Tran Viet Anh - general director - as chairman of the board of directors for the 2020 - 2025 term.

Sitting in the general director's chair replacing Mr. Tran Viet Anh is Mr. Tran Quang Khanh - who is the deputy general director and also the person authorized to publish information of SAM.
