Vietjet IPO wins prestigious award for “Best Vietnam Deal” in 2017

Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company (HOSE: VJC) has received the “Best Vietnam Deal” award from Asia’s leading publication, FinanceAsia, for its IPO held early 2017.

The prestigious award not only highlighted Vietjet’s highly successful IPO but also the airline’s subsequent performance for the rest of the year, which boosted the position of Vietjet in particular but also Vietnam-based companies on the global capital market in general.

The presentation ceremony for the FinanceAsia Awards, one of the world’s leading awards for the regional finance industry, took place at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong on January 31, 2018. Mr. Chu Viet Cuong from the Vietjet Board of Directors represented the airline to receive the coveted award.

Leading “a series of successful deals” in 2017, Vietjet’s US$164 million IPO was professionally conducted, involving the consultation of world-renowned law firms and financial institutions for a period of nearly 800 days (due on the listing date, February 28, 2017), and following all the international IPO standards Regulation S.

Earlier, Vietjet was also awarded for “The IPO Deal of the Year 2017” and named “The Company with Best M&A Information Disclosure” at the M&A Awards 2016-2017 Vietnam as part of the Vietnam M&A Forum 2017 in Vietnam.
