HCMC – Gia Lai Electricity Joint Stock Company (GEG) has passed a resolution to disband its subsidiary Phong Dien Solar Energy Company, which is headquartered in Hue City, Thua Thien-Hue Province.

The Phong Dien solar energy company, founded in 2019, has total charter capital of VND120 billion and its legal representative is Tran Nguyen Quoc Huy.

Besides, to ensure interests of its shareholders, the board of GEG decided to suspend a plan to issue 30.3 million GEG shares to existing shareholders due to a decline in share price and will seek the nod for another share issue at its upcoming general meeting. On December 7, GEG closed at VND13,000 per share, lower than the price approved for the share issue at VND14,000.

On August 5 this year, GEG approved the plan of issuing over 30.3 million GEG shares with the par value of VND14,000 to mobilize VND425 billion. The proceeds would be contributed to Tien Giang Wind Energy Joint Stock Company to implement the Tan Phu Dong 1 power project.

As for its business performance, GEG in the third quarter this year saw its net revenue up 67% year-on-year at over VND521 billion and net profit up 2.4 times over the same period last year at VND125 billion.

Closing the trading session today, December 12, GEG moved sideways at VND13,000.
