What Happened
On June 9, 2026, EVNPECC3 received notification from the Ministry of Public Security’s investigative police that Chairman Nguyen Nhu Hoang Tuan, General Director Lac Thai Phuoc, and Chief Accountant Pham Hoang Vinh had been detained for temporary imprisonment. The arrests are part of a broader criminal investigation at the National Power Transmission Corporation and PC1 Group, which has also led to charges against leaders at other power sector firms including TV1, TV2, TV4, and PC1.
In response, TV3’s board quickly issued resolutions to stabilize management. Tran Quoc Dien, an existing board member, was assigned to temporarily oversee the board. Tran Le Minh, previously Deputy General Director, was appointed Acting General Director effective June 15, 2026. Nguyen Ngoc Khanh was designated to handle accounting responsibilities. Additionally, Pham Van Tuan, Director of the Hydropower Center, was appointed Deputy General Director for a five-year term starting June 15, 2026. The company also announced an EGM to be held in Q3 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City, with a record date of August 7, 2026, to address matters within the shareholders’ authority.
Market Context
TV3 shares closed at VND 15,100 on July 20, 2026, on the HNX exchange. The stock has likely been under pressure since the arrest news broke in early June, though the company’s swift appointment of interim leadership and the announcement of a cash dividend may provide some support. The broader power sector in Vietnam has been under regulatory scrutiny, with several state-linked companies facing investigations. TV3’s market capitalization is modest, and the stock is relatively illiquid, which could amplify volatility.
Strategic Significance
The arrests represent a significant governance crisis for TV3, a consulting firm heavily reliant on state-owned power projects. The company’s ability to retain contracts and maintain operational continuity will depend on the interim leadership’s credibility and the outcome of the EGM. The dividend payment signals an intention to maintain shareholder returns despite the turmoil, but the long-term impact hinges on whether the criminal case leads to further sanctions or project delays. Investors should monitor the EGM for potential board restructuring and any changes to the company’s business strategy.
What to Watch
- Outcome of the extraordinary general meeting in Q3 2026, including any board elections or strategic resolutions.
- Further developments in the criminal investigation, including potential charges against the company itself or additional executives.
- TV3’s Q2 2026 earnings report, due in August, for signs of operational disruption.
- Any contract cancellations or delays from key clients, particularly the National Power Transmission Corporation.
- Trading volume and price action around the dividend record date (September 15, 2026).
