AsemconnectVietnam - Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SeABank, ticker SSB - HOSE) has officially received approval to increase its charter capital to VND34,688 billion.

On October 28, 2026, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) officially approved SeABank's increase in charter capital according to Decision No. 2370/QD-NHNN. Accordingly, SeABank's charter capital increased from VND34,288 billion to VND34,688 billion, supplemented by VND400 billion through the issuance of employee stock options (ESOP).
The issuance of ESOP shares has been completed and the results reported in August 2026. A total of 40 million shares were successfully issued, reaching 100% of the planned issuance, at a price of VND10,000 per share for 481 outstanding employees.
This is SeABank's second capital increase in 2026, fulfilling the plan approved by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Previously, SeABank increased its charter capital by VND5,838 billion through the issuance of shares to existing shareholders at a ratio of 20.5%.
The increased capital helps to supplement resources for SeABank to strengthen its financial foundation, improve its ability to meet capital adequacy requirements, and simultaneously enhance investment in technology infrastructure, promote digital transformation, and expand its scale of operations. This serves as a foundation for the Bank to enhance its competitiveness, adapt to market fluctuations, and implement development goals in the new phase.
In parallel with strengthening its financial capacity, SeABank focuses on developing high-quality human resources, creating a foundation for achieving long-term development goals. This is the 5th time SeABank has implemented ESOP, demonstrating the Bank's recognition of the achievements and contributions of its management and staff, while encouraging long-term commitment, improved work efficiency, and partnership with SeABank's development.
