Hanoi (VNA) - Employees of Mobile World Investment Corporation may hold afortune worth 2.6 trillion VND (116.7 million USD) this month, according to areport on the news website CafeF.

The electronic device retailer, known as Mobile World, has asked the StateSecurities Commission to allow it to issue 7.3 million bonus shares foremployees this year.

If the proposal is approved, the value of the bonus shares will be 1.5 trillionVND, making total value of bonus shares that Mobile World has issued toemployees since December 2014 2.62 trillion VND. The company’s stock closed at 155,000VND per share on December 11.

During the previous two years, the company has issued 12.3 million bonus sharesto employees, including 5.3 million in 2014 and seven million in 2015.

According to CafeF, the share issuance would make Mobile World the“most generous company to employees in the stock market” compared to otherlarge-cap firms such as dairy producer Vinamilk, private equity firm MasanGroup and construction company Coteccons.

What make Mobile World’s bonus shares so valuable are the terms that receiversmust follow and the growth of the company share prices.

According to the company’s regulations, the bonus shares can’t be traded for ayear after being issued. After one year, employees can sell half of the shares,with all of the bonus shares tradable after two years.

The restriction has made Mobile World’s bonus shares a hot commodity. ByDecember 2016, half of the bonus shares issued in 2014 and all of those issuedlast year remained unavailable for trading.

The company’s share prices have jumped since Mobile World began trading on theHCM Stock Exchange in July 2014 as the company has recorded significant gainsin post-tax profits.

Before being listed on the stock market, Mobile World recorded its bestpost-tax profit of 258 billion VND in 2013.

The company earned 674 billion VND in total post-tax profit for 2014. Thefigure increased by nearly 1.6 times one year later and hit 1.33 trillion VNDin the first 10 months of this year.

Significant increases in the company’s earnings have helped its share pricejump four times to 155,000 VND on December 11 since it was listed on the HCMStock Exchange in July 2014, making it one of the 30 biggest listed firms bymarket capitalisation./.
