• Total proceeds: VND 1,110 billion (approx. USD 44.4 million).
• Subscription payment period: June 15-17, 2026.

• Key subscribers: CC1-Holdings (10 million shares), Chairman Nguyen Van Huan (5 million shares), and CEO Le Bao Anh (8 million shares).

What Happened

CC1’s Board of Directors approved the distribution plan for the private placement, originally authorized in January 2026. The company will offer 100 million shares to 14 professional investors, with major shareholders and insiders taking a significant portion. CC1-Holdings, a major shareholder, will subscribe to 10 million shares; Chairman Nguyen Van Huan will buy 5 million shares; and CEO Le Bao Anh will purchase 8 million shares.

The entire net proceeds of VND 1,110 billion will be used to fund CC1’s equity contributions to two PPP infrastructure projects. Specifically, VND 849.15 billion will go to Cat Lai Investment Co., Ltd. for the Cat Lai Bridge project, and VND 260.85 billion to Long Hung Investment Co., Ltd. for the Long Hung Bridge (Dong Nai 2) project. CC1 is a member of the consortium executing these projects.

Market Context

CC1 shares closed at VND 33,000 on June 7, 2026, down 2.94% on low volume of 200 shares. The offer price of VND 11,100 represents a 66% discount to the market price, which may pressure the stock in the near term due to dilution. CC1 trades on UPCoM, the unlisted public company market, with relatively thin liquidity. The capital raise comes as Vietnam accelerates PPP infrastructure spending, particularly in the Ho Chi Minh City region.

Strategic Significance

The private placement directly funds CC1’s equity commitments in two large-scale PPP bridge projects, which are critical to the company’s infrastructure pipeline. By securing capital from existing shareholders and insiders, CC1 demonstrates alignment of interests. The 25% dilution is significant, but the proceeds are earmarked for specific projects that could generate long-term revenue streams. Successful execution of these PPPs would strengthen CC1’s position in Vietnam’s infrastructure sector.

What to Watch

• Completion of the subscription period (June 15-17, 2026) and confirmation of full take-up.
• CC1’s Q2 2026 earnings report and any updates on project milestones for Cat Lai and Long Hung bridges.
• The Annual General Meeting scheduled for July 30, 2026, where the board will present the 2025 audited financials and 2026 business plan.
• Potential secondary market price reaction as the new shares become tradable (likely after regulatory approval).
• Any further PPP project awards or consortium updates that could affect CC1’s capital needs.
