**PART II**

**INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS**

**Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.**

Under Section 172 of the Singapore Companies Act, any provision (whether in the constitution, a contract with the company or otherwise) that purports to exempt or provides an indemnity for exempting or indemnifying an officer of a company (including a director) (to any extent) against any liability that would otherwise attach to him or her in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company is void. However, we are not prohibited from: (a) as provided in Section 172A of the Singapore Companies Act, purchasing and maintaining for any officer insurance against any liability which by law would otherwise attach to such officer in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to us; (b) as provided in Section 172B of the Singapore Companies Act, indemnifying an officer against liability incurred by such officer to a person other than the company, except when the indemnity is against any liability: (i) incurred by the officer to pay a fine in criminal proceedings; (ii) incurred by the officer to pay a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (however arising); (iii) incurred by the officer in defending criminal proceedings in which the officer is convicted; (iv) incurred by the officer in defending civil proceedings brought by the company or a related company in which judgment is given against such officer; or (v) incurred by the officer in connection with an application for relief under Section 76A(13) or Section 391 of the Singapore Companies Act in which the court refuses to grant such officer relief.

VinFast's constitution provides that, subject to the provisions of and so far as may be permitted by the Singapore Companies Act and every other legislation for the time being in force concerning companies and affecting our Company, every director or other officer of our Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by our Company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred or to be incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, no director or other officer of our Company shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or for joining in any receipt or other act for conformity or for any loss or expense happening to our Company through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of the directors for or on behalf of our Company or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of our Company shall be invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects shall be deposited or left or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which shall happen in the execution of the duties of his office or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen through his own negligence, willful default, breach of duty or breach of trust.

We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers, pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify each such person and hold him harmless against all reasonable expenses, including counsel's and experts' fees, court fees, transcript costs, travel expenses, duplicating, printing and binding costs, telephone charges and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any inquiry, hearing or investigation that might lead to the institution of any such action, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, to which he has been made a party or in which he became involved by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer. Except with respect to expenses to be reimbursed by us in the event that the indemnified person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or proceeding, our obligations under the indemnification agreements will be subject to certain customary restrictions and exceptions.

In cases where a director is sued by the company, the Singapore Companies Act gives the court the power to relieve directors either wholly or partially from their liability for their negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust.

The indemnification provisions in our constitution may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our shareholders. A shareholder's investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

**(b) Financial Statement Schedules**

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

**Item 10. Undertakings.**

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
 after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
 or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
 foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
 that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
 the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate,
 the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
 of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to
 the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
 registration statement;

*provided however,* that paragraphs (1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form F–3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or, as to a registration statement on Form F–3, is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
 under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
 to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
 thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
 amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration
 statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20–F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout
 a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933
 need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial
 statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus
 is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements
 on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3)
 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Item 8.A of Form 20–F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic
 reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
 incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
 registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
 Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
 included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
 Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of
 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus
 is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.
 As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall
 be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which
 that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or
 made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of
 the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify
 any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any
 such document immediately prior to such effective date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
 registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant
 undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless
 of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser
 by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered
 to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
 registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
 prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating
 to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
 undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering
 made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form F-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Singapore, on December 23, 2025.
