- Violation: Du Thi Van signed contracts to transfer shares in CTCP Đầu tư TCTC and divested the company’s entire capital contribution in CTCP Dầu khí Quốc tế Việt Mỹ without shareholder approval.

What Happened
On August 3, 2026, the SSC’s Inspectorate issued a decision fining Du Thi Van, who serves as both CEO and a member of the board of directors at Đại Việt Group. The fine stems from her unilateral execution of contracts to transfer shares in CTCP Đầu tư TCTC and the full divestment of the company’s stake in CTCP Dầu khí Quốc tế Việt Mỹ, both without prior approval from the annual general meeting (AGM).
According to Vietnamese corporate law and Decree 156/2020/NĐ-CP, transactions involving large asset transfers or related-party deals that exceed the authority of the board or CEO must be approved by shareholders. The SSC’s action underscores that bypassing this requirement violates shareholder rights and corporate governance rules.
Market Context
DVG, listed on UPCOM, closed at VND 800 on August 2, 2026, reflecting a low-priced, thinly traded stock typical of the construction materials sector. The penalty adds to governance concerns for a company with a small market profile, where such regulatory actions can disproportionately impact investor sentiment. Broader Vietnamese market trends show increasing regulatory scrutiny on corporate governance, aligning with the SSC’s enforcement actions.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, this fine signals potential weaknesses in DVG’s internal controls and board oversight. The unauthorized divestments could have altered the company’s asset base and strategic direction without shareholder input, raising questions about management accountability. This event may deter institutional interest until governance improvements are demonstrated, such as clearer board procedures and shareholder communication.
What to Watch
- DVG’s next quarterly earnings report to assess any financial impact from the unauthorized divestments.
- Any shareholder meeting or extraordinary general meeting addressing governance reforms or board changes.
- SSC announcements of further penalties or corrective actions against DVG or its leadership.
- Changes in DVG’s share price and trading volume following the news.
- Company disclosures on new internal control policies or compliance measures.
