Therefore, the northern exchange has not yet had basic information to determine FLC Faros' valid charter capital, its publicity and the volume of shares registered for trading.
Previously on August 25, the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) issued a decision on delisting 567.6 million ROS shares due to serious violations of the issuer on disclosure information and in cases where the exchange or the State Securities Commission of Viet Nam (SSC) considers the necessary of the delist to protect investors' interests.
Under regulations, a company that is subject to mandatory delisting or voluntary delisting but still meet conditions to be a public company, has to register for trading on the UPCOM exchange.
On August 30, the Viet Nam Securities Depository (VSD) announced to transfer registration and depository data of ROS shares from HoSE to UPCOM. However, this is a technical handling on the VSD's system for delisted shares.
Before being delisted, ROS share price was at VND2,510 a share, equivalent to the market capitalisation of more than VND1.4 trillion.
After the increase of Faros's charter capital, experts proposed Government agencies tighten control and inspection in listed companies' activities, and increases their roles in protecting investors' rights.
