What Happened
On June 8, 2026, Eximbank announced the resignation of four board members: Chairwoman Pham Thi Huyen Trang, Pham Tuan Anh, Nguyen Tri Trung, and Nguyen Trong Hien. Chairwoman Trang, who holds a Master’s degree in Banking and Finance and previously worked at VietinBank for 12 years, will continue as Chairwoman until the extraordinary meeting on July 24. The other three resigning members include Nguyen Tri Trung and Nguyen Trong Hien, the former Chairman of Gelex Group, who had only joined the board in April 2026.
Following these resignations, only one board member remains: Ho Poh Wah. The bank has scheduled an extraordinary general meeting for July 24, 2026, to elect additional board members and a new supervisory board for the 2025-2030 term.

Market Context
Eximbank shares closed at VND 20,700 on June 8, 2026, down 1.90% with a volume of 5.1 million shares. The stock has been under pressure amid ongoing governance changes. The resignations follow the dismissal of four deputy general directors in late May and the appointment of a new deputy general director on June 2. Gelex Group, the largest shareholder with a 10% stake, has indicated it wants to increase its ownership, positioning itself as a long-term strategic investor.
Strategic Significance
The mass resignation of board members, including the Chairwoman, signals deep governance restructuring at Eximbank. The departure of two recently appointed board members linked to Gelex suggests potential internal disagreements or a strategic pivot. Gelex’s stated desire to raise its stake could lead to a more concentrated ownership structure, which may stabilize governance but also raise concerns about minority shareholder influence. The extraordinary meeting will be a key event to watch, as the new board composition will shape Eximbank’s strategic direction.
What to Watch
- The outcome of the extraordinary general meeting on July 24, 2026, and the new board members elected.
- Any further changes in senior management or board composition before the meeting.
- Gelex Group’s next moves regarding increasing its stake, including any regulatory filings.
- Eximbank’s Q2 2026 earnings release for signs of operational impact from the governance turmoil.
- Any announcements from the State Bank of Vietnam regarding the governance changes.
