CCI CrossBorder, Ltd. ("CCIX"), SSI Asset Management Company Limited ("SSIAM"), and Daiwa Corporate Investment Co., Ltd. ("DCI") are pleased to announce that the three parties have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding a business alliance aimed at creating and

expanding co-investment and co-financing opportunities for local companies in Vietnam.

Through this alliance, the three companies-each possessing distinct strengths in the financial and investment sectors in Japan and Vietnam-will collaborate as equal partners to establish a practical framework for promoting medium- to long-term capital provision to Vietnamese local enterprises.

By leveraging their respective expertise, networks, and resources, CCIX, SSIAM, and DCI seek to actively identify, structure, and execute collaborative investment and financing opportunities, thereby contributing to the sustainable growth and development of Vietnamese businesses and the broader local economy.

The purpose of this MoU is for the three parties to collaboratively identify, create, and promote a broad range of financing and investment opportunities tailored to the growth stages and capital needs of companies in Vietnam.

In addition to equity investments made through the Daiwa-SSIAM Vietnam Growth Fund, which has been jointly managed by DCI and SSIAM to date, the alliance will leverage CCIX's capabilities in providing a wide range of capital solutions, including lending and mezzanine financing. Through

this multi-layered capital provision framework, the three parties aim to support the sustainable growth of Vietnamese local companies.

Under this alliance, the three parties will cooperate in, among others, the following areas:

• Joint execution of investment and financing opportunities in Vietnam, including the

  establishment of a framework that enables response to a broader range of financing needs of Vietnamese local companies.

• Matching and networking support between Vietnamese local companies and relevant stakeholders

• Sharing of information and insights related to market trends, industry developments, and regulatory and institutional environments

This alliance represents an advanced initiative for Japanese financial institutions to provide capital to the real economy by partnering with leading local financial and investment platforms. Through this collaboration, the parties aim to demonstrate- in a more practical and execution-oriented manner within Vietnam- the role that Japanese financial institutions can play in high-growth overseas

markets going forward.

The three parties will continue to engage in ongoing discussions and execution with a view to further deepening this financial model and contributing to the sustainable growth of the Vietnamese market.
