For Immediate Release

Vietnam Infrastructure Limited

(the "Company")

Tender Offer

The Company has published a tender offer circular to be sent to Shareholders today in relation to the second tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for the repurchase by the Company of up to 50 per cent. of the Company's Listed Portfolio Shares (AIM: VNIL) in issue as at the Second Repurchase Day, which is 17 February 2016 (the "Repurchase Cap").

The Company shall repurchase the Listed Portfolio Shares at a discount of 2 per cent. to the current Net Asset Value per Listed Portfolio Share as at the Second Repurchase Day. The aggregate US dollar amount due to a tendering holder of Listed Portfolio Shares on the Second Repurchase Day will be satisfied by the transfer by the Company of such number of Class A VVF Shares (at the current VVF net asset value on the Second Repurchase Day) as most closely equals the amount owed to the relevant holder of Listed Portfolio Shares (rounded down to 3 decimal places). If all holders of Listed Portfolio Shares elect to participate in the Tender Offer, the Company will be limited to repurchasing only 50 per cent. of each holder's Listed Portfolio Shares (the "Individual Limit") pursuant to the Tender Offer. However, to the extent that not all holders of Listed Portfolio Shares elect to participate in the Tender Offer, then the Company will be able to acquire from those tendering shareholders additional Listed Portfolio Shares above their Individual Limit. Such surplus tenders will be accepted on a pro rata basis as calculated by the Company provided that the maximum amount of Listed Portfolio Shares repurchased as at the Second Repurchase Day does not exceed the Repurchase Cap.

All Listed Portfolio Shares repurchased by the Company in the Tender Offer will be cancelled.

The timetable for the Tender Offer is as follows:

It is expected that holders of Listed Portfolio Shares who submit valid tender forms and transfer forms in respect of the Tender Offer and who have provided all required anti-money laundering and know your customer compliance documents will receive confirmation in writing from EdR Asset Management (as administration agent for VVF) that their Class A VVF Shares are registered in their name by the Settlement Date but no certificates representing the Class A VVF Shares will be issued. 

The tender offer circular that will be sent to Shareholders today will contain the formal terms of the Tender Offer, together with details of how holders of Listed Portfolio Shares can tender their Listed Portfolio Shares for repurchase by the Company, if they wish to do so. A copy of the tender offer circular will also be available on the Company's website http://vni-fund.com.

All Listed Portfolio Shares still in issue as at 17 August 2016 (being the "Final Date") will be compulsorily repurchased by the Company in consideration for Class A VVF Shares at the then current Net Asset Value per Share of the Listed Portfolio Shares. No discount will be applied on the Final Date.

Whether holders retain all of their Listed Portfolio Shares or tender all or part of their Listed Portfolio Shares for VVF Shares will depend on each Shareholder's circumstances and is a decision which each Shareholder must make for itself in light of its individual financial and tax circumstances and personal investment objectives.

The above times and/or dates may be subject to change and, in the event of such change, the revised times and/or dates will be notified to the Shareholders by an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service of the London Stock Exchange.

Defined terms used in this announcement have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the tender offer circular to Shareholders dated 18 January 2016.
