HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- VNG Corporation ("VNG" or the "Company"), a leading technology company in Vietnam, today announced that VNG Limited has filed a Form F-1 registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). VNG Limited, a shareholder of VNG, intends to list its Class A ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market through an initial public offering ("IPO") under the symbol "VNG".
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. will act as underwriters of the IPO. The size and price range for the potential offering have yet to be determined.

The Company's other flagship products include Zing MP3 (the number one music streaming platform in Vietnam, according to F&S, with more than 28 million monthly active users), and ZaloPay (the fastest growing mobile payment application in Vietnam, according to F&S).
The Form F-1 registration statement is subject to completion and has not yet been declared effective by the SEC.

Any public offering of such securities to be made in the United States will be made by means of an effective registration statement that may be obtained from VNG Limited which will contain detailed information about the company and management, as well as financial statements.
