METHODS FOR CALCULATION
OF ILLEGAL GAINS OR PROCEEDS FROM COMMISSION OF OFFENCES AGAINST LAWS ON
SECURITIES AND STOCK MARKETS
Article 3. Principles and
methods for calculation of illegal proceeds from the act of manipulating stock
markets, using internal information for purchase and sale of stocks
1. Illegal proceeds as prescribed in Article 132 of
the Law on Securities is the amount of profits that an entity or person is
brought from performing acts of manipulating the securities market, using internal
information for purchase and sale of stocks, after taking away taxes and fees
payable. Taxes and fees payable must be declared and attested by securities
companies.
2. Calculation principles:
a) Illegal proceeds are determined from the time of
commencement of commission of offences to the time of cessation of offences;
b) The period for stock market manipulation is the
time length during which the violator commits the act of manipulating the stock
market which is recorded in the notice of administrative offence. The period
for use of internal information for purchase and sale of securities is the
period during which the violator performs the act of using internal information
for buying and selling securities which is recorded in the notice of administrative
offence. The number of trading accounts involved in the act of manipulation of
stock markets or use of internal information for purchase and sale of stocks is
defined in the notice of administrative offence;
c) In case an entity or individual commits multiple
offences, illegal proceeds specific to offences shall be determined.

g) In case where a group of entities or a group of
persons, or a mixed group of entities and persons commits the act of manipulation
of the stock market or use of internal information for purchase and sale of
stocks, illegal proceeds shall be calculated based on total number of trades
via accounts used to commit offences after excluding intra-group transactions
between accounts (if any);
If there is no grounds for determining illegal
proceeds of specific violating entities or persons, these illegal proceeds
shall be divided equally among these violating entities or persons;
h) Based on notices of administrative offences
arising from the act of manipulating the stock market or the act of using
internal information for purchase and sale of stocks, the chief inspector of
the inspection team shall be responsible for calculating and making a report on
the calculation of illegal proceeds, and submitting it to the President of the
State Securities Commission to seek his/her decision.
In case where there are illegal proceeds from the
act of manipulating the stock market or using inside information to buy and
sell securities, the President of the State Securities Commission shall set up
a Council for calculation of illegal proceeds. The composition of the Council
for calculation of illegal proceeds shall be decided by the President of the
State Securities Commission. The President of the State Securities Commission
may consult opinions from stock experts of the Ministry of Finance,
socio-professional organizations, public security agencies and other relevant
agencies, organizations and individuals.
3. Illegal proceeds obtained from committing the
act of manipulating the stock market is calculated according to the following
formula:
Illegal proceeds = (Average selling price - Average
purchase price) x (Selling volume - intra-group trading volume) - Taxes, fees
payable.
a) Average selling price = (Selling value of stocks
– Value of intra-group traded stocks) / (Selling volume of stocks – intra-group
trading volume of stocks):
b) If total selling volume of stocks is less than
or equal to total buying volume within the manipulation period, the average
purchase price shall be calculated as follows:
Average buying price = (Buying value - intra-group
trading value) / (Buying volume – intra-group trading volume):

Average buying price = (Selling value + arbitrage
value - intra-group trading value) / (Buying volume + arbitrage – intra-group
trading volume). Where
Arbitrage volume = selling volume – buying volume.
Arbitrage value = Arbitrage volume x price of
arbitrage volume.
Price of arbitrage volume is the reference price
determined on the day starting the manipulation period:
d) Illegal proceeds from performing the act of
manipulating the stock market in the event that, in the period of manipulation
of the stock market, there is any adjustment in the stock price which is
calculated as total illegal proceeds during the period preceding the time of
price adjustment (the ex-rights date), and illegal proceeds in the period after
the price adjustment.
Illegal proceeds made in the period before the time
of price adjustment and the illegal proceeds in the period after the price
adjustment are calculated according to the formula specified in this Clause.
For the cases where total volume of stocks sold is greater than total volume of
stocks purchased in the period after price adjustment, the price of the
arbitrage volume specified in point c of this clause is the reference price
determined on the ex-rights date.
4. Illegal proceeds obtained from committing the
act of manipulating the stock market. If such manipulation results in a drop in
share price, and then shares are purchased, illegal proceeds shall be
calculated as follows:
Illegal proceeds = (Average selling price - Average
purchase price) x (Buying volume - intra-group trading volume) - Taxes, fees
payable. In this formula, the average selling price is determined according to
the provisions of Point a, Clause 3 of this Article and the average buying
price is determined according to the provisions of Point b, Clause 3 of this
Article.
In case where, in the period of manipulation of the
stock market, there is any adjustment in the stock price, illegal proceeds
shall be calculated as total illegal proceeds arising during the period
preceding the time of price adjustment (the ex-rights date), and illegal
proceeds arising in the period after the period of price adjustment. Illegal
proceeds made over periods of time shall be calculated according to the formula
prescribed in this clause.

a) In case where the public disclosure of internal
information causes the stock price to increase, the illegal proceeds are
calculated on the basis of the spread between the average selling price and the
average buying price multiplied by total volume of securities sold within 30
days from the date on which internal information is publicly disclosed after
taking away all taxes and fees payable. The period for calculation of the
average buying price is determined from the time the violator uses internal
information to buy stocks to the time internal information is disclosed;
b) In case where the public disclosure of internal
information causes the stock price to decrease, the illegal proceeds are
calculated on the basis of the spread between the average selling price and the
average closing price within 10 consecutive days from the date on which
internal information is publicly disclosed, multiplied by total selling volume
after taking away all taxes and fees payable. The period for calculation of the
average buying price is determined from the time the violator uses internal
information to buy stocks to the time internal information is disclosed.
The time internal information is disclosed is the
time the information appears on one of the communications media as prescribed
in the Circular of the Minister of Finance, providing instructions about the
public disclosure of information on the stock market.
