Subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals and other closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2023, after which, existing shareholders of VinFast will hold around 99% shares of the combined company.

Global CEO of VinFast, Madame Thuy Le remarked, “VinFast has already demonstrated the ability to quickly reach international markets. The partnership with Black Spade and listing of VinFast in the U.S. represents the perfect capital raising avenue for our future global ambitions and is also an important accomplishment for Vingroup.”

“VinFast has demonstrated its execution excellence by building up a maximum production facility of up to 300,000 electric vehicles (EVs) a year and having a full range of beautifully designed high-quality EVs, all within the span of a few years. With the support of Vingroup, one of the largest conglomerates in Vietnam, VinFast is very well positioned to take advantage of the EV lifestyle trend and we are very excited about the future potential growth of VinFast in Vietnam and globally,” said the chairman and Co-CEO of Black Spade, Mr Dennis Tam.

Black Spade Acquisition Co is a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a business combination (Special Purpose Acquisition Company). NYSE-listed Black Spade was founded by Black Spade Capital, which runs a global portfolio consisting of cross-border investments while seeking to add new investment projects.

2017-born VinFast, a member of Vingroup, is a leading Vietnamese automotive manufacturer which converted into a fully EV manufacturer in 2022. The company exports electric SUVs, e-scooters and e-buses across Vietnam, the United States, and, soon, Europe.
