Accordingly, SCIC has registered to sell 44.68 million shares or a 66.58 per cent stake in the HCM City-based company.

Trading was expected to conducted between January 2 and February 4, 2016, as per agreements, SCIC said.

In the first nine months of 2015, SWC earned a consolidated revenue of VND130.6 billion ($5.79 million) and VND22.5 billion ($997,915) in after-tax profit.
