Ho Chi Minh City, October 17, 2024 – Coteccons Construction Joint Stock Company (HoSE: CTD) is pleased to announce significant changes to its organizational structure, in line with the company’s new strategic priorities for 2025-2029. According to Board Resolution No. 24/2024/NQ-HDQT dated 17/10/2024, the following personnel changes have been made: Mr. Vo Hoang Lam, previously the CEO of Coteccons, will take on the role of Deputy CEO of Coteccons and General Director of CTD Business Unit 01. Mr. Lam will be fully focused on developing the infrastructure, public investment, FDI sectors, and other projects in the Central and Southern regions. Mr. Lam shared: “The decision to shift from overseeing general management as CEO to concentrating on infrastructure and FDI aligns with Coteccons’ current development stage. Now is the time to dive deeper and dedicate more focus to these specialized areas, as the potential is vast, and this focus will unlock significant opportunities in line with our strategic goals. With Coteccons’ upcoming growth objectives, we need a new CEO with diverse experience and capabilities, and we are committed to seeking external talent to help drive new capacities in sectors beyond our core construction business, which we have been pioneering for 20 years.” Mr. Pham Quan Luc, previously Deputy CEO of Coteccons, will also take on the role of Deputy CEO of CTD Business Unit 01, focusing entirely on advancing the infrastructure & public investment segment.

On September 29, 2024, FiinRatings, a leading credit rating agency in Vietnam and a technical partner of S&P Global Ratings, upgraded Coteccons’ long-term credit rating from BBB to BBB+ with a “Stable” outlook. This recognition is a proud achievement for Coteccons after three years of restructuring and operational stabilization. The company has consistently improved its profitability, operational efficiency, and the quality of its receivables by shifting towards projects with stronger cash flows, especially FDI projects. This result is particularly meaningful as the A-category ratings are typically reserved for energy companies and banks, and no construction company has ever been rated in this group. Coteccons is also the only construction company to achieve a BBB+ rating, the highest in the B-category.

This resilience is reflected in its strong and sustained growth in revenue and backlog, along with notable and consistent improvements in profit margins, operational efficiency indicators and account receivables quality.” Ambition to Become a “Unicorn” in Construction with “Gazelle-Like” Performance By the end of FY2024, Coteccons achieved a revenue of VND 21,045 billion, a 30.8% increase compared
