越南电动汽车巨头 VinFast 着眼于在美国上市

In a significant move towards global expansion, Vietnam’s premier electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, VinFast, is poised to make its grand entrance on the US stock market in August. This news comes in the wake of the 美国证券交易委员会（SEC） nodding favorably towards VinFast’s prospective business amalgamation.

Established in 2019, VinFast has been strategically positioning itself for a surge in the American market. A proposed factory in North Carolina coupled with the forthcoming listing are central to the automaker’s ambitious plan to lock horns with entrenched auto giants and fresh-faced startups alike.

该公司最初于去年 12 月申请在纳斯达克首次公开募股（IPO）。但在 5 月份，VinFast 宣布打算通过与特殊目的收购公司（SPAC）Black Spade Acquisition Co.

两者 VinFast Black Spade 和 Black Spade 在周五发布的联合新闻稿中表示，"在获得股东批准和满足其他常规成交条件的情况下"，双方计划在 8 月份完成合并。

Black Spade Acquisition Co 主席兼联席首席执行官 Dennis Tam 乐观地表示："美国证券交易委员会的生效声明是 Black Spade 和 VinFast 成功完成业务合并的重要一步。

黑桃 据报道 计划于 8 月 10 日召开特别股东大会，讨论并可能批准与 VinFast 的业务合并建议。

This venture down the SPAC lane sees VinFast following in the footsteps of fellow EV manufacturers, Faraday Future, Nikola Corp, and Lucid, even amid a relative slowdown in the previously bustling SPAC market.

根据双方的联合声明，新合并实体的预期股本价值高达 $23 亿美元。尽管如此，在 SPAC 交易的同时，还没有提及任何机构投资者参与私人投资公共股权交易。

While skeptics question the lofty valuation given VinFast’s ongoing cash burn and nascent expansion into the U.S. market, VinFast remains undeterred. It has shipped approximately 3,000 EVs to the U.S. and began deliveries in March. Furthermore, the groundbreaking of its $4 billion American plant adds momentum to VinFast’s decisive march into the global EV arena.
