approve the Company to pay the interim dividend from the net income and retained
earnings from the financial statements (on a standalone basis) for the
six-month periods (from April 1 - September 30, 2012), to the shareholders of
the Company, at the dividend payment rate of Baht 0.163 per share (16.3 Satang
per share) or equivalent to the total interim dividend payment of not exceeding
Baht 1,810.00 million. This dividend payment is the highest dividend per share
that the Company has paid in its history and reflects the strong financial
position of the Company.
The Company sets the record date, the share register closure date and the
interim dividend payment date as follows:
(1) The date of determining the names of shareholders who shall be entitled to
receive the interim dividend (Record Date) : January 28, 2013
(2) The date to gather the names of shareholders under Section 225 of the
Securities and Exchange Act B.E. 2535 (as amended) by closure of the share
register book and suspension of share transfer : January 29, 2013
(3) The payment date of the interim dividend : February 8, 2013
In this regard, the shareholders who are disqualified to receive the dividend
under the law will not be entitled to this dividend payment. Moreover, as this
dividend payment is exempted from the corporate income tax and, therefore, the
individual shareholders are not entitled to any dividend tax credits under
Section 47 bis of the Revenue Code.
In addition, the Company would like to inform that as a result of the
resolutions on the payment of the interim dividend at the dividend payment rate
of Baht 0.163 per share (16.3 Satang per share), the Company shall adjust the
conversion price of the convertible bonds pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the convertible bonds, from the prevailing effective conversion price at Baht
5.12 per share to the adjusted conversion price at Baht 5.00 per share. The
adjusted conversion price shall be effective from January 29, 2013 onwards.
