Minh Phu Seafood (MPC) to sell 75.7 million shares for US$159 million

Minh Phu Seafood Corporation (HoSE: MPC) plans to issue privately 75.72 million shares to raise VND3.7 trillion (US$159 million) in 2019.

The company will use 45 per cent of the funds, or VND1.7 trillion, to improve its financial capacity. The remainder will be used to fund production and sales activities.

The share issuance was approved in late February 2019 by the company's board of directors. The company last week gained approval of the State Securities Commission on the deal.

The company will offer shares to both domestic and international investors that are financially healthy and willing to accompany the firm in the long term.

The shares will be unavailable for trading in one year since the issuance date.

At the annual shareholder meeting in January, Minh Phu announced that Japanese, South Korean and US investors had been in talks with the company to buy shares.

The expected price is estimated at more than VND48,800 per share.

The company has 140 million shares on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange under code MPC.

The company's shares edged up 0.7 per cent to close Tuesday at VND46,100.
