The number of VinFast shares to be offered in the IPO is yet to be disclosed. Citigroup Global Markets, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse Securities, and JP Morgan Securities will act as lead book-running managers for the offering.
The development follows VinFast bolstering its expansion efforts in the US. In July, the company opened six showrooms in California and plans to launch a total of 30 by the end of the year.
It also acquired US$1.2 billion in incentives from the state of North Carolina to build a manufacturing facility in the state.
In addition, VinFast reportedly inked an agreement with Credit Suisse and Citigroup to raise US$4 billion to bankroll its US expansion plans.
