S99: Payment of 2023 stock dividend

Viet Nam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (VSDC) would like to announce the record date as follows:

- Execution rate: 20:1 (shareholders are entitled to receive 1 new share for every 20 shares they own)
- Principle of rounding and handling fractional shares (if any): The number of shares additionally issued  for dividend payment to existing shareholders will be rounded down to the whole number to ensure the number of distributed shares not exceeding the number of issued shares, the  fractional shares (if any) will be removed
For example: on record date, shareholder A owns 123 shares,  he shall be entitled to 6.15 shares (calculated by the formula: (123:100)*5=6.15). According to the rounding principle, shareholder A will receive 6 new shares and the fractional share will be removed.
- Payment place:
+ The holders whose shares have been deposited will receive dividend at the depository member where they opened depository account.
