Before the Meeting started, Mr. Masukree Doloh informed the Meeting that in this Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company provided an opportunity to shareholders to propose the Annual General Meeting's agenda and to nominate candidates for company directorship in advance from October 5, 2023 to December 31, 2023 via Electronic Company Information Disclosure of the Stock Exchange of Thailand and posted guidelines on the Company's website but no shareholders proposed any additional agenda or nominated any director candidates.

The criteria and procedures for vote casting and vote counting on each agenda were summarized as follows:

2

Each shareholder had the voting rights equaling to the number of shares held in the Company where one share was equal to one vote. Shareholders or proxies had to cast one vote for "Approval", "Disapproval" or "Abstention". Exception was made for the custodian shareholders whose votes were divided. For voting in each agenda, any shareholder who might not vote in time, the Company would consider that the shareholders approved that agenda.

The vote counting of each agenda was as follows:

  • Agenda 2, 3, 4, and 6 to be resolved by the majority votes of the shareholders who attended the meeting and cast their votes.
  • For Agenda 4 To consider and approve the appointment of directors to replace those retiring by rotation, the election of each director would be conducted separately to be in line with the Good Corporate Governance principles.
  • For Agenda 5 To determine the Board of Directors' remuneration, it must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the total votes of the shareholders who attended the meeting and had the right to vote.

The voting process of each agenda was summarized as follows:

  1. The Meeting shall consider matters according to the agenda notified in the Notice of the Meeting. The information on each agenda shall be presented and the shareholders will be allowed to make inquiries prior to resolution voting for such agenda. The Company will announce the voting results when vote counting of such agenda has been completed respectively.
  2. In voting, the shareholders have to select the agenda they wish to vote on. The system will display 3 buttons for voting which were Approve, Disapprove, and Abstain.
    If multiple shareholders or proxies are involved, the system will display the names of all proxies. Each user account can vote separately.
    In case of voting cancellation, the shareholders will press "Cancel the Vote" button. For any shareholders who do not vote within the specified period, the Company will assume that the shareholders agree on that agenda. The shareholders can amend their votes at any time until the voting for such agenda is closed. The Company provides one minute for voting on each agenda. When the voting is closed for each agenda, the results of such agenda will be announced to the Meeting.
  3. In case of receiving proxies from multiple shareholders using the same email address and phone number to verify the identity of the proxy, the list of proxy grantors will be included in the same user account. In case different email addresses and phone numbers are used to verify identity, there will be separate user accounts. To access other user accounts, select the "User Account" menu and click the "Change Account" button to access other proxy grantor accounts. The system will not remove any votes from the Meeting.
  4. If a shareholder signs out of the Meeting before the voting on an agenda is closed,

his/her vote will not be counted towards the quorum for that agenda, and it will not be counted consequently for the remaining agendas. However, leaving the quorum on any agenda will not deprive shareholders or proxies of the right to return to the Meeting and vote on the next agenda in the system.

  • Ready-to-Eat:operated by Savor Eats Co., Ltd. which recently launched an online ready to eat food under PINTOHUB brand.

5

ASEAN MRA-TP assessment in Thailand, entrusted by the Department of Tourism, Ministry of Tourism and Sports, to develop standards, criteria, and manuals for Thai training units and assessment units, as well as to oversee the certification of these units involved in evaluating tourism personnel.

*All 10 ASEAN member countries have collaborated on the "Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Tourism Professionals: ASEAN MRA on TP" or MRA-TP.

Real Estate Development Business

In the realm of real estate development, the Company's flagship endeavor is the Dusit Central Park project, located at the intersection of Silom Road. This ambitious project, valued at THB 46,000 million, stands as a collaborative effort with Central Pattana Public Company Limited. Progress in construction has been consistent with established objectives, with plans underway for the opening of several key components:

For the hotel building, exterior construction has been successfully completed, and the project is now advancing to the interior decoration phase. The grand opening of the Dusit Thani Bangkok Hotel is scheduled for September 27, 2024. Progress on the office building remains on track, with an anticipated completion in the second quarter of 2025. Similarly, the retail shopping center building is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, the residential building, poised to become the tallest structure upon completion, is projected to complete by the fourth quarter of 2025.

By the end of 2023, a significant portion of the total sales area, comprising 76 percent, had already been sold. Predominantly, 80 percent of these sales were to Thai nationals, with the remaining 20 percent to customers of other nationalities. This distribution is attributed to travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which hindered foreign buyers' ability to participate in the initial sales process. However, sales to foreign customers have commenced and have been positively received.

Construction progress highlights include the office buildings reaching the 28 th floor out of 40, and the residential buildings reaching the 14th floor out of 69. Notably, the hotel building's exterior construction is now complete, with the iconic golden pillar of the original Dusit symbol poised to adorn the pinnacle of the structure.

Moreover, the Company has emphasized distinct color schemes for each building, enhancing their aesthetic appeal. The hotel building will feature a predominant gold color palette, while the residential buildings will be highlighted in the color Naga (Rose Gold). The office buildings will primarily showcase silver hues. Additionally, plans include the creation of a large garden atop the retail shopping center building, spanning an area of 7 rai, complete with a water park, offering customers an immersive experience in nature.

In 2023, total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries were THB 27,922 million, an increase of THB 1,693 million, compared to the previous year. Total liabilities were THB 23,609 million, an increase of THB 2,424 million, compared to the previous year. The increase in total assets and liabilities was due to an increase in non-current assets as a result of the Dusit Central Park project's construction progress as well as an increase in non-current liabilities, mainly from deferred incomes and deposits of the residential units of the project.

Total equity was THB 4,313 million, a decrease of THB 731 million, compared to the previous year. Total equity attributable to owners of the Company was THB 3,440 million, a decrease of THB 681 million, compared to the previous year. Thus, the book value was THB 4.07 per share, a decrease of THB 0.81 per share, compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to an annual loss of THB 580 million, interest payments on the subordinated perpetual debentures of THB 120 million, and dividend payments on non-controlling portion of THB 31 million.

Agenda 3 To consider and approve the omission of dividend payment for the 2023 performance and the allocation of profit as a legal reserve

The Chairman assigned Mr. Sukit Ngamsangapong, Chief Financial Officer, to report this agenda to the Meeting.

Mr. Sukit Ngamsangapong reported to the Meeting that the Company has a policy to pay dividends to its shareholders in the amount of not less than 50 percent of net income in the consolidated financial statements after tax and legal reserve (if any) and not exceeding the retained earnings presented in the Company's financial statements and not opposed to the Public Limited Companies Act. However, it is subject to the Company's investment and use of proceeds plan which the Board of Directors may consider paying dividends as appropriate by taking into account shareholders' interests.

In 2023, the Company's consolidated financial statements reported the net loss of THB 570 million. Thus, it was deemed appropriate to propose the omission of 2023 dividend payment.
