(i) As described in Note 3(a)(iv), the Group had a plan for divestment from PJICO and PG Bank.
On 21 April 2018, the General Meeting of Shareholders of PG Bank passed its Resolution No. 01/2018/NQ-
DHDCD-PGB, approving the scheme to merge PG Bank with Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock
Commercial Bank (“HDBank”). According to this scheme, the expected ownership ratio of the Parent Company
in HDBank after the merger is 5.62%. By the date when these financial statements are authorized for issuance,
the merger had not been completed.
On 18 July 2019, under Resolution No. 108A/PLX-NQ-HDQT, the Board of Management approved the plan to
reduce the Group’s ownership percentage in PJICO from 40.95% to 35.1% and when receipt of official opinions
from the Commission for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises and the Prime Minister, the Group
will continue to hold or divest in accordance with regulations. By the date when these financial statements are
authorized for issuance, the reduction of ownership percentage had not been completed.
(ii) Investment in this associate was stated at cost in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. According to
assessment of the Board of General Directors, failure to apply the equity method in recognition for these associates has not
caused material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as the investment value was insignificant.
(*) The Group has not determined fair values of these investments for disclosure in the consolidated financial statements
because information about their market prices is not available and there is currently no guidance on determination of
