(“VinFast” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFS) f/k/a Black Spade Acquisition Co., (“Black Spade”), securities: (a) pursuant and/or traceable to the Offering Documents issued in connection with the August 2023 merger (“Merger”) by and among the Company, Black Spade, and Nuevo Tech Limited; and/or (b) between August 15, 2023 and January 17 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). VinFast investors have until June 11, 2024 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On October 15, 2023, Bloomberg reported that VinFast’s planned to aggressively move into Southeast Asian markets and that the Company would need to raise “a lot of capital” in order to fuel its global expansion plans and would “rely on [financial] support from parent company Vingroup SC and its founder Pham Nhat Vuong in the next 18 months.”

On this news, VinFast’s stock price fell $1.45, or 18.2%, to close at $6.53 per share on October 16, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on January 18, 2024, VinFast disclosed that it had delivered a total of 34,855 EVs in 2023, falling short of its target of 40,000-50,000 units.

On this news, VinFast’s stock price fell $0.13, or 2.3%, to close at $5.64 per share on January 18, 2024, thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Offering Documents and Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) VinFast lacked sufficient capital to execute its purported growth strategy; (2) VinFast would be unable to meet its 2023 delivery targets; (3) accordingly, VinFast had overstated the strength of its business model and operational capabilities, as well as its post-Merger business and/or financial prospects; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
