With the price of VND219,000 (US$9.06) apiece at the time of transaction, Macquarie Bank had to spend VND6.8 billion (US$293,400) to become Yeah1's major shareholder.
Yeah1 has two other major shareholders in the names of Ancla Asset Limited with 3.4 million shares, equivalent to a 12.49% stake, and DFJ VinaCapital Venture Investment Ltd with over 1.95 million shares or a 7.14% stake.

Established in September 2006, the entertainment group runs a series of entertainment channels including Yeah1TV, Yeah1family, Imovietv and SCTV2, with nine subsidiaries and four indirect subsidiaries including Yeah1 Vietnam Co., Netlink Online Corporation and TNT Media Advertising.
