VietNam Holding Limited
Appointment to the VNHAM Board
VietNam Holding Limited (the 'Company') (AIM: VNH) announces the appointment of Mr. Jean-Christophe Ganz to the board of Vietnam Holding Asset Management Limited ('VNHAM'), the investment manager of Vietnam Holding Limited, with effect from 11 March 2009.
Christophe Ganz brings a wealth of experience to the VNHAM Board, having served in several senior management positions with ING Bank in Geneva, Bratislava and Zurich, as well as more recently as a business consultant specializing in M&A, privatizations, and corporate restructuring. Having served on the boards of several private equity investment companies active in real estate development and financial asset management, Mr. Ganz is well-versed in investment strategy and adds another invaluable level of experience to our appointed investment manager. With the departure of Mrs. Nhung Nguyen from the VNHAM Board in January 2009 for personal reasons, we welcome both the expertise and breadth of knowledge Mr. Ganz brings to the VNHAM Board during difficult times in a particularly challenging market.
The boards of both VNH and VNHAM would like to thank Mrs. Nguyen for her excellent service and for the significant contribution her leadership has provided to our shareholders, and the Company. We extend our best wishes for continued success in all her future endeavors.
