The application for the authorisation of VVF (the formal name of which is expected to be Forum One - VCG Partners Vietnam Fund as VVF will be a sub-fund of Forum One, an existing Luxembourg open-ended investment company) has been submitted to the CSSF and is expected to be approved in the first quarter of 2015.
Shareholders should note that, as described in the Circular, the redesignation of the existing Ordinary Shares as Private Equity Shares, the bonus issue of the new Listed Portfolio Shares, and the adoption of the New Articles will occur on the Effective Date. The implementation of the Amended IMA is also conditional on Admission. However, the investment policy of VNI has now been amended in respect of VNI's Listed Portfolio, as described in the Circular. The re-alignment of the Listed Portfolio, so that it complies with the investment policy of VVF at the time of VVF's launch, can now commence.
