HaLam Coal announces chairman's resignation, interim appointment

Vinacomin - HaLam Coal JSC (HNX: HLC) announced a leadership change on October 1, 2025, with Mr. Tran Van Cu resigning from his positions as chairman of the board of directors and a board member, effective 4:30 PM on the same day. This decision follows a new work assignment from the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (TKV), which will prevent Mr. Cu from continuing as a TKV shareholder representative on the board. The board of directors accepted his resignation and will submit the matter to the General Meeting of Shareholders for review and approval regarding the board membership.

In response to the vacancy, the board of directors has appointed Mr. Vu Ngoc Thang, a current board member and TKV representative, to assume interim responsibility for the board starting October 1, 2025, at 4:30 PM. Mr. Thang will oversee the board until the company can finalize the appointment of new board members and elect a new chairman. He is tasked with organizing an extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to complete these personnel changes as outlined in the resolution.

The company is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and will keep the State Securities Commission of Vietnam and the Hanoi Stock Exchange informed of further developments.
