Criteria for the right of minor shareholders to propose agenda and/or nominate candidates for

appointment as the company director in advance

Clause 1. Objective

Eastern Water Resources Development and Management Public Company Limited (the 'Company') recognizes the importance of shareholder participation and equal treatment which is part of the principles of Good Corporate Governance set out by the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the 2017 edition. The Company therefore would like to give its shareholders the opportunity to propose agenda items and/or nominate qualified candidates for director appointment in advance before the annual general meeting of shareholders. For this purpose, the Company has defined the criteria and a transparent consideration process of submitting proposals to the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee or the Nomination and Remuneration Committee for further screening and comment to enable the Company's Board of Directors to decide whether to include them in the agenda for the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Clause 2. Shareholder's qualifications

Only the Company's shareholders can propose agenda items and/or nominate candidates for director appointment. A proposal can be submitted individually or jointly by several shareholders if their shareholding in aggregate is more than 5% of the total shares (more than 83.186 million shares) as of the date of the proposal. The Shareholders must hold those shares on the Record Date in order to determine the right of shareholders to attend the AGM of that year.

Please note that, if, after the Company has checked the name of the shareholders on Record Date and has not found the name of shareholders or the shareholders do not hold more than 5% of the total shares (less than 83.186 million shares), the Company reserves the right to not propose the agenda or the Candidate to AGM for consideration.
