(OTC BB: PRVH) (German Stock Exchanges: PR7, WKN 935160), a provider of international advisory services specializing in mergers and acquisitions, today confirmed schedules for upcoming seminars to help Vietnamese companies go public and raise capital through the U.S. financial markets.

4. Can Tho: 09:00 - 11:30 AM, October 12, 2005 Auditorium, Golf Hotel 2 Hai Ba Trung Avenue Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City, Vietnam
These seminars will be held in conjunction with the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce and Industry to help Vietnamese companies understand the essentials of going public and raising capital through the US capital markets, including an overview of the US stock markets, listing requirements for various US exchanges, initial public offerings, spin-offs, reverse mergers, secondary offerings, dual listings, and private investments in public equity (PIPE).
It is expected that a total of 400-600 prominent Vietnamese companies, both private and state-owned, will participate in these events and learn how to take advantage of the US capital markets in order to grow their business.
Henry Fahman, chairman of Providential Holdings, commented, "Instead of waiting for foreign companies to bring in investment dollars, Vietnamese companies can take a more proactive approach by tapping foreign capital markets themselves to further their growth and compete with other international players." Fahman reiterated: "As Vietnam prepares to join the WTO and continues to privatize several thousand of her State-Owned Enterprises, this is an unprecedented opportunity for U.S. institutional investors to participate in this fast-growing market."
Institutional investors, underwriters, and service providers such as auditing firms, transactional attorneys, and investor relations firms interested in participating in these events may contact Providential Holdings at info@phiglobal.com.
