HCMC – The Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HOSE) has announced it would keep the ITA stock of Tan Tao Investment and Industry Corporation (ITACO) on its warning list.

Last August, the bourse warned ITACO of its failure to disclose information as regulated. However, the firm has yet to tackle the issue over the past six months.

On February 7, ITACO announced its divestment from its two affiliated companies, namely Tan Tao Energy Development Corp (TEDC) and Tan Tao Urban Development and Investment Corporation (Tan Tao City Corp).

The announcement came several months after ITACO sold all its stakes in Tan Tao City Corp. last July and TEDC last December.

Meanwhile, Circular 96, issued in 2020 by the Ministry of Finance, requires public companies to disclose information within 24 hours after they sell stakes in a subsidiary or an affiliated company.

Tan Tao City Corp, established in 2001 and headquartered in Binh Tan District in HCMC, specializes in house trading.

ITACO held a 38.46% stake in Tan Tao City Corp before divestment.

Closing the trading session today, March 2, ITA lost 0.49% over the previous session to VND4,040.
