Item 4 To approve the appropriation of profit and annual dividend payment for the year 2021

Facts and Reasons

Under the provisions of the Public Limited Company Act B.E. 2535, the Company must appropriate at least 5% of its annual net profit as a legal reserve until the reserve reaches 10% of its registered share capital. At present, the Company's legal reserve is sufficient in compliance with the law. Therefore, the Company does not need to appropriate 2021 annual net profit as a legal reserve.

With regard to dividend payment, the Company has a policy to pay dividends to shareholders twice a year. The total dividend paid each year will not be less than 30% of annual net profit (which is attributable to equity holders of the Company according to the consolidated financial statements). The dividend payments may be subject to change, depending on the Company's operations results, its financial position, future projects and prevailing economic conditions at the time. Therefore, the Meeting should consider the annual dividend payment for the year 2021.

In accordance with the Company's operating results of the year 2021, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company should distribute its profits as the dividend to shareholders at Baht 0.65 per share in total. In this regard, the Company already paid the first dividend payment to shareholders as an interim dividend at Baht 0.40 per share for 8,413,568,585 ordinary shares, totaling Baht 3,365,427,434, on September 10, 2021.

The Board of Director then proposes that the Meeting should approve the second dividend payment at Baht 0.25 per share for 8,406,962,585 ordinary shares, totaling Baht 2,101,740,646.25. This dividend when combined with the interim dividend payment paid during the year 2021 will totally be Baht 5,467,168,080.25, or 42% of 2021 net profit (attributable to equity holders of the Company according to the consolidated financial statements), which is in line with the Company's dividend policy.

The second dividend payment of Baht 2,101,740,646.25 will be paid from profit after deduction of taxable losses. Therefore, recipients who receive dividends are subject to withholding tax according to rules and conditions of the Revenue Code. However, recipients who are natural persons shall not be entitled to a tax credit in accordance with Section 47 bis of the Revenue Code. In this regard, the Board of Directors proposed to set the record date for the right to receive the dividend on May 6, 2022 and the second dividend payment will be made on May 25, 2022.

Board's Opinion

After due consideration, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Meeting should approve that the Company need not appropriate annual net profit as a legal reserve since its amount is in compliance with the law and approve the dividend payment for the year 2021 as proposed.
