With reference to the 2018 AGM's approval of the issuance and offering of BBGI's new common shares to the directors, management, and employees of BBGI and its subsidiaries, and according to the announcement of the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board no. Thor Chor. 32/2551 Re: Offering of newly issued securities to directors or employees (as amended), the approval was valid for one year from the approval date; it is now no longer valid. BBGI expects to proceed with its IPO plan by the end of 2020, so the Board of Directors deems it appropriate to propose that the shareholders meeting approve the issuance and offering of BBGI's new common shares for the directors, management, and employees of BBGI and its subsidiaries, as detailed in the attachment 1.

The BBGI ESOP Scheme requires an approval of the Company's shareholders meeting according to the rules and criteria of the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board no. Thor Chor. 32/2551 Re: Offering of newly issued securities to directors or employees (as amended). The BBGI ESOP Scheme is also conditional upon the completion of the BBGI IPO and its SET listing.

4. List of directors, management and employees of BBGI and its subsidiaries to whom more than 5 percent of the total shares under the BBGI ESOP Scheme will be allocated
-None-
5. Control dilution and price dilution
Effects on control dilution to shareholders of BBGI and the Company
Under the BBGI ESOP Scheme, the number of new ordinary shares to be offered will not exceed 3,000,000 shares with a par value of THB 5 per share, which will not exceed 0.42 percent of the total issued shares in BBGI post-IPO. Therefore, BBGI's shareholders may be affected by a control dilution of not exceeding 0.42 percent.
In addition, given the Company is now holding 60 percent in BBGI, it is expected that the BBGI ESOP Scheme will lead to a maximum control dilution of 0.252 percent to the Company (calculated from the Company's 60 percent shareholding in BBGI, multiplied by the 0.42 percent control dilution to BBGI).
Effects on price dilution to BBGI's and the Company's shares
As BBGI's shares have not yet been listed on the SET, their market price is not currently available and, therefore, the price dilution that may affect the market price of shares of BBGI and the Company cannot be determined. Typically, there will be an impact to a drop in the share price once an offering of the BBGI new ordinary shares has been made. However, given that the BBGI ESOP Scheme has the same offering period and price as the BBGI IPO, therefore there will be no price dilution to BBGI's and the Company's shares due to the offering of BBGI new ordinary shares under the BBGI ESOP Scheme.
6. Rules, conditions and procedure for the offering
BBGI will proceed to offer its new ordinary shares to the directors, management and employees of BBGI and its subsidiaries after the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission approves the BBGI IPO.
BBGI's board of directors or person designated by BBGI's board of directors will be authorised to determine the subscription date, the offering price (according to criteria stated under the "Offering Price per Share" in the table above), a list of management and employees of BBGI and its subsidiaries who will be entitled to the share allocation and the number of new ordinary shares to be allocated to each of them, including all other terms and conditions to the extent as permitted by the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board no. Thor Chor. 32/2551 Re: Offering of newly issued securities to directors or employees (as amended).
In addition to clauses 3. and 4. above, no director, management or employee of BBGI or its subsidiaries will obtain an allocation of more than 5 percent of the total new ordinary shares offered under the BBGI ESOP Scheme.
7. Eligibility criteria for the allocation of BBGI's new ordinary shares to the directors, management and employees of BBGI and its subsidiaries
(1) An allottee must remain to be director, management and/or employee of BBGI on the effective date of the registration statement and prospectus in relation to the BBGI IPO.
(2) An allottee must be a management and/or employee of a BBGI or its subsidiary whose employment with that subsidiary started before 1 July 2020 and must remain an employee until the dates of BBGI's securities issuance and offer.
(3) The allocated number of new ordinary shares may vary among those individuals, which depends on their position, work experience, years of service, work performance and potential, including their contribution to BBGI and/or its subsidiaries.
8. Shareholders' right to object the offering
The BBGI ESOP Scheme requires an approval of the Company's shareholders with three- quarters or more of the total votes cast by the shareholders present and eligible to vote, and
there must be no objection by any shareholders holding in aggregate of more than 10 percent of the total votes of shareholders present and eligible to vote. Moreover, the implementation of the BBGI ESOP Scheme is conditional upon the completion of the BBGI IPO and its SET listing.

-None-
5. Control dilution and price dilution
Effects on control dilution to shareholders of BBGI and the Company
Under this scheme, the number of new BBGI ordinary shares to be offered will not exceed 12,000,000 shares with a par value of THB 5 per share, which will not exceed 1.65 percent of the total issued shares in BBGI post-IPO (assuming no exercise of the right to purchase surplus shares on these entire BBGI shares). Therefore, BBGI's shareholders may be affected by a control dilution of not exceeding 1.65 percent.
In addition, given the Company is now holding 60 percent in BBGI, this scheme will lead to a maximum control dilution of 0.99 percent to the Company (calculated from the Company's 60 percent shareholding in BBGI, multiplied by the 1.65 percent control dilution to BBGI).
Effects on price dilution to BBGI's and the Company's shares
As BBGI's shares have not yet been listed on the SET, their market price is not currently available and, therefore, the price dilution that may affect the market price of shares of BBGI and the Company cannot be determined. Typically, there will be an impact to a drop in the share price once an offering of the BBGI new ordinary shares has been made. However, given that the BBGI ESOP Scheme has the same offering period and price as the BBGI IPO, therefore there will be no price dilution to BBGI's and the Company's shares due to the offering of BBGI new ordinary shares.
6. Rules, conditions and procedure for the offering
BBGI will proceed to offer its new ordinary shares to the directors, management and employees of BCP and KSL after the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission approves the BBGI IPO.
BBGI's board of directors or person designated by BBGI's board of directors will be authorised to determine the subscription date, the offering price (according to criteria stated under the "Offering Price per Share" in the table above), a list of management and employees of BCP and KSL who will be entitled to the share allocation and the number of new ordinary shares to be allocated to each of them, including all other terms and conditions to the extent as permitted by the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board no. Thor Chor. 32/2551 Re: Offering of newly issued securities to directors or employees (as amended).
In addition to clauses 3. and 4. above, no director, management or employee of BCP and KSL will obtain an allocation of more than 5 percent of the total new ordinary shares offered under this scheme.
7. Eligibility criteria for the allocation of BBGI's new ordinary shares to the directors, management and employees of BCP
(1) An allottee must remain to be director, management and/or employee of BCP on the effective date of the registration statement and prospectus in relation to the BBGI IPO.
(2) An allottee must have been a management and/or employee of BCP before 1 July 2020 and must remain an employee at least until the IPO date.
(3) The allocated number of new ordinary shares may vary among those individuals, which depends on their position, work experience, years of service, work performance and potential, including their contribution to BBGI and/or its subsidiaries.
8. Shareholders' right to object the offering
The BBGI ESOP Scheme requires an approval of the Company's shareholders with three- quarters or more of the total votes cast by the shareholders present and eligible to vote, and there must be no objection by any shareholders holding in aggregate of more than 10 percent of the total votes of shareholders present and eligible to vote. Moreover, the implementation of the BBGI ESOP Scheme is conditional upon the successful completion of the BBGI IPO and its SET listing.
