- After the change, he is no longer classified as an internal person (insider) of DCM.
- The extraordinary shareholders’ meeting is set for 23 September 2026 and will be held online.

What Happened
According to the company’s announcement, the Board of Directors issued Decision No. 2300/QD-PVCFC on 17 September 2026, under which Nguyen Tuan Anh ceased to serve as Deputy General Director of Ca Mau Fertilizer and simultaneously gave up his position as Director and head of the Ca Mau Fertilizer Trading & Services branch in order to transfer to other work. The decision took effect on the same date, and the company stated that he is no longer an internal person of DCM.
The personnel change was disclosed just days before the extraordinary 2026 shareholders’ meeting, expected on 23 September in online format. Per the meeting documents, shareholders will review the company’s development plan through 2050, a plan to supplement feedstock gas supply, and the election of a new Board member. The filing does not disclose the reason for the transfer beyond “other work assignment,” nor does it name a replacement for the vacated deputy general director position.
Market Context
DCM closed at VND 33,700 on 21 September 2026 on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange. The stock trades within the fertilizers and chemicals segment, a sector sensitive to global urea prices, natural gas feedstock costs, and seasonal agricultural demand in the Mekong Delta. The company’s H1 2026 results showed strong top-line and profit growth, but the sharp rise in management expenses, particularly the science and technology fund provision, has drawn scrutiny in the same reporting period as the leadership change.
Strategic Significance
The resignation of a deputy general director with nine years in the role, arriving immediately before a meeting that will seat a new board member and set a multi-decade development roadmap, points to a broader governance and strategy reset rather than a routine personnel rotation. The 2050 plan and the feedstock gas supply proposal are the substantive items: gas availability underpins DCM’s urea production economics, and any new supply arrangement would shape capital expenditure and margin structure for years. For long-term holders, the key question is whether the board refresh brings execution capacity aligned with that roadmap, and whether the elevated management cost base, including the sharply higher science and technology fund provision, reflects one-off accruals or a structurally higher operating cost level.
What to Watch
