Enclosure No. 3 (in QR Code Format).

Opinions of the Board:

The Board of Directors has considered the matter and is of the opinion that the

Shareholders should approve the Consolidated the Financial Statement of the

Company for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2022, which has been

certified by the Auditor of the Company and reviewed by the Audit Committee.

In addition, the Shareholders should acknowledge the Report from the Auditor.

Agenda 3

To consider and approve dividend payment for the performance of year 2022,

and to consider an allocation as legal reserve

Facts and Reasons:

In accordance with the law, should the Company have profits from its

performance with no accumulated loss, the Company (with approval from

Annual General Meeting of Shareholders) is able to pay dividend that derives

from its performance profits to the shareholders. Furthermore, the Company

must allocate net profits of the fiscal year of 2022 of not less than 5 percent of

its net profits (deducted by accumulated loss (if any)) as legal reserve until the

reserve is equivalent to at least 10 percent of registered capital.

In this regard, as the Company already has sufficient legal reserve as required

by law, it is therefore not required to make further appropriation of the net

profit from the operation of the year 2022 to be the legal reserve pursuant to

the Public Limited Company Act B.E. 2535 (1992) (as amended).

In addition, the Board of Directors' Meeting No. 2/2023 has considered the

matter and deemed it appropriate to propose the Company to pay dividend for

the year 2022 to shareholders at the rate of Baht 1.15 per 1 ordinary share with

the total dividend to be paid being Baht 2,965,084,181. In addition, the record

date to receive dividend has been set to be 19 April 2023 and the dividend

payment shall be paid on 3 May 2023. Whereas, the aforesaid dividend shall

be paid from the net profit that has been taxed as juristic person at the rate of

20 percent.

The documents for consideration of this Agenda 3, including the Company's

dividends policy, are as appeared in Enclosure No. 4.

3

Opinion of the Board:

The Board of Directors has considered the matter and is of the opinion that the

Shareholders should approve the dividend payment and acknowledge that no

further appropriation will be made as legal reserve.

Agenda 4

To consider the election of

directors in place of the directors whose terms

expired by rotation

Facts and Reasons:

To be in compliance with the applicable law and the Articles of Association of

the Company, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is required to

consider the election of directors to replace the directors whose terms have

expired by rotation. There are 3 directors whose terms expired by rotation at

this Meeting namely:

(1) Mr. Prasong Poontaneat

Independent Director/ Chairman of the

Board of directors / Chairman of the

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

(2) Lieutenant General

Independent Director

Apichat Chaiyadar

(3) Mr. Natapong Vanarat

Independent Director and member of the

Audit, Environmental, Social

Responsibilities, and Corporate

Governance Committee

In compliance with the Good Corporate Governance Principles, the Company has provided opportunities for the minority shareholders to nominate person(s) to be elected as directors in advance of the Meeting through an announcement on the Company's website from 1 October 2022 to 31 January 2023 so that the Nomination and Remuneration Committee could consider the matter in advance so that the Nomination and Remuneration Committee could consider the appropriateness for this meeting. Nonetheless, no shareholder nominated any person to be elected as directorof the Company at this Meeting.

In this regard, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has considered the knowledge, capability and qualifications of the 3 directors whose terms expired by rotation and was of the opinion that such persons are qualified to be re-appointed and therefore proposed the Board of Directors to consider approving the matter to be further proposed to the Shareholders' Meeting.
