Following the buyback, DIC Corp's outstanding bond debt has been reduced to over VNĐ2.03 trillion.

Nguyễn Quang Tín, CEO of DIC Corp, said that the company committed to responsibly executing the early or on-time buyback of bonds, ensuring full interest payments to maximise benefits for bondholders.

Through a cautious management strategy, adherence to a transparent development roadmap and a structured business plan, DIC Corp consistently secured stable revenue to meet its bond obligations, while also mitigating financial pressure and preparing for future growth initiatives, Tín added.
