Finance receiver:

The Company

  1. Type and General Information of the Transaction
    The Company will receive financial assistance from the Company's directors and/or major shareholders by issuance and offering of the subordinated perpetual debentures in the amount of not exceeding Baht 70 million with the details of issuance and offering of debentures as described in clause 1.

Page 3 of 6

  1. Value of Consideration
    In general, the issuer of the subordinated perpetual debentures will early redeem the debentures before maturity at the end of 5th year from the issuance date since after the 5th year, the issuer will have to pay more interest increasing from the fixed interest rate (the step-up coupon). This will cause the cost of issuer to increase. Therefore, the Company calculates the return on the issuance of subordinated perpetual debentures to be used to calculate the size of the connected transaction for a period of only 5 years. Based on the said assumption, the Company will issue and offer the subordinated perpetual debentures in the amount of not exceeding Baht 70 million with the fixed interest rate (years 1-5) at 5.25% per annum. Thus, the total value of consideration will not exceed Baht 18,375,000.
  2. Criteria used in Determining a Transaction's Total Value
    This transaction is a transaction between the Company and directors and/or shareholders of the Company. Thus, the transaction is considered as a connected transaction of a listed company in the category of transaction relating to receiving financial assistance in accordance with the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board No. TorChor. 21/2551 Re: Rules on Connected Transaction (as amended), and the Notification of the Board of Governors of the Stock Exchange of Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies Concerning the Connected Transaction B.E. 2546 (2003) (as amended) (collectively referred to as the "Notification of Connected Transaction"). The total value of consideration (interest rate 5 years at 5.25% per annum) does not exceed Baht 18,375,000. This transaction is considered as medium size having the value of the transaction more than Baht 1 million but less than Baht 20 million (to compare the value of the transaction, the Company uses the reference number of Baht 20 million, which is higher than 3% of the net tangible assets). Therefore, the said transaction must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and disclosed the information to the Stock Exchange of Thailand without the approval from the shareholders' meeting in accordance with the Notification of Connected Transaction.
  3. Director having Conflict of Interest and/or Director being Connected Person
    Mrs. Pattama Tangpiroonthum, as the director having conflict of interest and being connected person, was not attend the meeting and had no right to vote in the Board of Directors' Meeting to consider the entering into transaction.

  1. Opinion of the Board of Directors
    The Board of Directors has considered the reason and necessity and resolved that the receipt of financial assistance is reasonable and beneficial to the Company to repay loans to the financial institutions and/or use for working capital of the Company. Thus, under the endorsement of the Meeting of the Company's Audit Committee No.4/2022, held on 9 August 2022, the Board of Directors has resolved to approve the entering into the connected transaction on receiving financial assistance from the Company's directors and/or major shareholders by issuance and offering of the subordinated perpetual debentures in the amount of not exceeding Baht 70 million.
    In addition, according to the Thailand Accounting Standard No. 32 Re: Presentation of Financial Instruments (TAS 32), the Company is able to consider the total amount of issued and offered subordinated perpetual debentures as an equity if specifying the condition for repayment of principal to be in accordance with the said accounting standards. If the value that the Company intends to issue and offer the debentures is not more than Baht 70 million, the total debt to equity ratio of the Company will decrease.
    In addition, the Company has not yet prepared a credit rating of the Company. If the Company wishes to offer a public offering of such subordinated perpetual debentures, the Company will be required to provide a credit rating for its instruments in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The credit rating company must make a credit rating based on the financial statements of the past 2-3 years, which during such period the Company was affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic situation. The Company may receive a low credit rating. This will not be attractive to outside investors. Furthermore, the issuance of subordinated debentures at this level, when combined with the credit rating cost, may make the total cost of issuing subordinated perpetual debentures very high compared to the benefits of issuing such subordinated debentures.
  2. Opinion of the Audit Committee and/or the Directors of the Company which is Different from the Opinion of the Board of Directors, including the Case of the Aforesaid Director Abstained
    None.

3. Approved to set the date for Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders No. 1/2022 on Thursday 22 September 2022 at 14:00 hrs. at Kasetshop Meeting Room, Thai Ha Public Company Limited, No. 140 Moo 5, Tambon Bangkratuek, Amphur Sampran, Nakornpathom Province to consider and approve the following matters:
