PVcomBank's board approved a proposed private-placement price of VND 13,628 for each of 300 million shares, about 60% above the market price cited by VnExpress at the time. The plan aims to increase charter capital after years at VND 9 trillion.

The placement still depends on regulatory procedures and completion of the offer; the shares have not been confirmed as sold. The premium is a point-in-time comparison, not a fixed market price.
