Monitor regulatory approvals from Vietnam's State Securities Commission (SSC) and trading band conditions on the First Intended Closing Date (October 1, 2026). If the purchase price per share falls outside the Permitted Trading Band, closing may be deferred to an off-band transaction requiring SSC approval. The U.S. government funding agreement provides a strong capital backstop, reducing execution risk.
