In early November, MSN announced plans to buy a 27.3 per cent stake and become the full owner of Masan Resources Corporation (MSR), owner of Nui Phao Mining Company.
MSN offered VND15,500 ($0.68) for each MSR share. The purchase, which will be carried out through its subsidiary Masan Horizon Corporation (MH), is expected to be completed this year.
