Overview
SHB (HOSE: SHB) has revised its plan for the first private bond issuance in 2026, targeting up to VND 2,000 billion (approximately USD 80 million) to strengthen Tier 2 capital and improve the capital adequacy ratio (CAR). The offering period is moved from Q2/2026 to Q3/2026, as per a board resolution dated July 2026.
Key Facts
- SHB plans to issue 2,000 non-convertible, unsecured bonds with a face value of VND 1 billion each, raising up to VND 2,000 billion.
- The bonds have a tenor of 7 or 8 years, with annual interest payments and call options (after 2 years for 7-year bonds, after 3 years for 8-year bonds).
- The issuance will be conducted in up to 5 tranches, each capped at VND 1,000 billion.
- The offering period is rescheduled from Q2/2026 to Q3/2026, extending until the legal deadline.
- Proceeds will be used to increase Tier 2 capital, improve CAR, and support customer lending.
- Separately, SHB is also conducting a public bond offering of 30 million bonds (code SHB7Y202601) worth VND 3,000 billion, with a 7-year floating rate (reference rate + 3.3% p.a.).
- The public offering runs from June 25, 2026 to August 18, 2026, with a minimum subscription of 100 bonds for individuals and 1,000 bonds for institutions.
What Happened
SHB announced a board resolution approving an amended plan for its first private bond issuance in 2026, replacing the previous plan approved on April 28, 2026. The key change is the shift in the expected offering period from Q2/2026 to Q3/2026. The bank aims to issue up to 2,000 bonds with a total face value of VND 2,000 billion, all classified as Tier 2 capital instruments.
The bonds are non-convertible, without warrants, unsecured, and meet conditions for inclusion in Tier 2 capital. The issuance will be conducted in multiple tranches, with each tranche not exceeding VND 1,000 billion. The bank retains the right to call the bonds after a specified period (2 years for 7-year bonds, 3 years for 8-year bonds).
Market Context
SHB closed at VND 12,600 on July 15, 2026. The bank is listed on HOSE and operates in the banking sector. The capital raise comes amid a broader trend of Vietnamese banks strengthening their capital bases to meet Basel III standards and support credit growth. SHB’s CAR has been under pressure due to rapid loan expansion, and this issuance is part of a larger plan to raise up to VND 8,000 billion through bonds in 2026.
Strategic Significance
The Tier 2 capital increase will directly improve SHB’s CAR, enabling the bank to sustain lending growth without breaching regulatory limits. The shift to Q3/2026 suggests the bank is aligning the issuance with market conditions or internal liquidity needs. The dual approach of private and public bond offerings indicates a diversified funding strategy. For long-term investors, the successful execution of this plan is critical for SHB’s ability to compete in the retail and corporate lending segments.
What to Watch
- Completion of the private bond issuance in Q3/2026 and the actual amount raised.
- SHB’s CAR disclosure in the next quarterly report (Q3/2026) to assess the impact.
- Uptake of the public bond offering (SHB7Y202601) ending August 18, 2026.
- Any further adjustments to the bond issuance plan or additional capital-raising initiatives.
- Regulatory changes affecting Tier 2 capital eligibility or bond market conditions.
