VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund Limited

(the "Company" or "VOF")

Estimated Daily Net Asset Value ("NAV") - 15 March 2024

The Company announces that, as at the close of business on 15 March 2024, its unaudited, estimated NAV was USD 1,163 million or USD 7.58 per share. The Sterling equivalent as at that same date was GBP 914 million or GBP 5.96 per share.

This NAV includes changes to the valuation of Private Equity and Public Equity with Private Terms investments as at 31 December 2023 and which will be included in the Company's half year accounts for the six months to 31 December 2023. These investments were last valued as at the Company's last financial year end, 30 June 2023. At the half year stage the valuations are updated by the Manager and reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee and by its Auditor before approval by the Board. While there were changes to the values of individual investments, in aggregate there was no material change in the total valuation of the assets in these categories.

The GBP to USD foreign exchange rate that has been applied to this NAV is 1.2729.

Disclaimers: The estimated daily NAV stated in this announcement has been prepared by the Administrator and reviewed by the Investment Manager, and is based on estimated valuations and, accordingly, the Company accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the estimated daily NAV. The actual month end NAV in any month may vary from the estimated daily NAVs provided in the relevant month. Accordingly, no reliance should be placed on the estimated daily NAV and it has been provided for indicative purposes only. The Company's unaudited NAV as at the end of each month is published on or around the 10th of each month.

The estimated daily NAV is prepared based on the following valuation guidelines:

•	Listed equities are marked-to-market, based on the closing price of the most recent trading day, provided by the Vietnam stock exchanges (the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange and the Hanoi Stock Exchange).
•	Unlisted securities include over-the-counter (OTC) traded securities and unlisted securities publicly traded on the Unlisted Public Companies Market (UPCOM) of the Hanoi Stock Exchange. These holdings are marked-to-market on the same basis as listed equities. Where this valuation approach is not available, unlisted securities valuations are based on the average of up to three independent broker quotes for the last trading day of the prior week, or where these are unavailable, the last available price.
•	Non-publicly traded investments, including private equity and direct real estate investments are valued based on the last available valuation as approved by the Audit Committee, which may be adjusted for any impairment, loss or disposal.
•	The valuation of cash positions is based on cash in the Company's bank accounts at the close of the most recent trading day and is adjusted for receivables and accruals.
•	The Vietnam Dong (VND) foreign exchange rate is the daily reference rate provided by Vietcombank as of the date of the daily NAV. The British Sterling (GBP) and US Dollar (USD) exchange rates are based on the Bloomberg reference rate of the same day.
