The Board of Directors of MCOT Public Company Limited (MCOT ) at the Meeting No. 3/2021, on February 23, 2021, has resolved to convene the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on Thursday, April 22, 2021 at 13.30 hrs. at Auditorium C Asean, 10th Floor, CW Tower, 90 Ratchada-Pisek Road, Huaykwang, Bangkok 10310. The meeting agenda is as follows:

Agenda 1: Report by the Chairman

Agenda 2: To Approve Minutes of 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders Held on Wednesday, July 29, 2020

(Required vote : Majority vote of the shareholders present at the meeting and cast their votes)

has adopted an anti-corruption policy against all forms of corruption, which applies to any action taken by MCOT employees. Page 3 of 91 For more information, please visit www.mcot.net/ir> good governance >corporate governance>anti-corruption policy.

Rationale: The law specifies that Annual General Meetings of Shareholders of a company listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand must be convened within 4 months after then end of each fiscal year or by April 30 of each year. In 2020, due to outbreak of COVID-19 causing the Government to declare the state of emergency throughout the Country and the announcement on closure of public venues including meeting rooms until April 30, 2020, MCOT postponed the arrangement of the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to Wednesday, July 29, 2020. The minutes of the 2020 Annunal General Meeting of Shareholders were submitted to the Stock Exchange of Thailand within 14 days after the meeting date, as prescribed by the law and were published on the Company's website: www.mcot.net/ir.

Opinion of the Board: The Board of Directors was of opinion that the minutes of the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, held on Wednesday, July 29, 2020 were completely and accurately recorded with all the necessary information of all agenda items. Therefore, the Board of Directors deems it appropriate to propose to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to certify the minutes of the 2020 Annual General Meeting of shareholders.

Agenda 3: To Acknowledge Report on the Company's 2020 Operating Results (the period between January 1 - December 31, 2020)

Rationale: The Company's 2020 operating results reported in the 2020 Annual Report were made available through QR code (which appears in the Document, page 36)

Opinion of the Board: The Board of Directors deems it appropriate to propose the Company's 2020 operating results to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of shareholders for acknowledgement.

Agenda 4: To Approve Company's Financial Statements and Income Statement for Year ended December 31, 2020

(Required vote : Majority vote of the shareholders present at the meeting and cast their votes)

Rationale: The Company's statement of financial position and statement of income for the accounting period ended December 31, 2020 as shown in the financial statements in the form of QR Code (which appears in the Document, page 37) delivered to the shareholders were certified by the Company's Auditor or the Office of the Auditor General of Thailand (OAG) and they were also reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors' Meeting No. 3/2021 on February 23, 2021 passed the resolution to approve the Company's financial statements for the accounting period ended December 31, 2020

Opinion of the Board: The Board of Directors deems it appropriate to propose the Company's statement of financial position and the statement of income for the accounting period ended December 31, 2020 which has been certified by the Aditor and reviewed by the Audit Committee to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of shareholders for approval.

Agenda 5: To Approve Abstention of 2020 Dividend Payment

(Required vote : Majority vote of the shareholders present at the meeting and cast their votes)

Rationale: Clause 66 of the regulations of the Company requires that no annual dividend payment can be made unless receiving the shareholders' approval. Clause 68 requires that no dividend shall be paid other than out of profits. As long as the Company continues to experience accumulated losses, no dividend shall be paid. Dividends for ordinary shares shall be distributed in accordance with the number of shares in equal amount on each share. The Board of Directors may pay the interim dividend to the shareholders from time to time if it deems that the Company has a reasonable profit, and the shareholders shall be informed of such dividend payment at the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Company's 2020 operating results for the period between January 1 - December 31, 2020 showed that the Company experienced a deficit of 2,020 million Baht, divided into the loss of the parent company in the amount of 2,019 million Baht and the non-controlling interests in the amount of 0.8 million Baht.

Dividend Payment Policy: A minimum allocation of 40% of net profit after appropriation of various reserves for dividend payment. The amount of the dividend to be paid depends on the Company's future business plans, necessities and appropriateness in the future.

Opinion of the Board: The Board of Directors deems it appropriate to propose to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders abstention of dividend payment from the Company's operating results for the period between January 1 - December 31,2020 due to financial loss.

Agenda 6: To Approve Directors' Remuneration

(Required vote : Not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of votes of the shareholders present of the meeting.) Rationale: Clause 34 of the Company's regulations requires that "The remuneration of the Board of Directors, if not provided herein, shall be determined in accordance with the resolutions of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, having at least a two-third (2/3) majority of votes of those members eligible and present to vote".

The Remuneration Committee carefully studied criteria for remuneration, meeting allowance and annual bonus payment to be made to directors of state enterprises listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and scope of management and responsibilities of the directors who were required to closely supervise the Company's policies and strategies to ensure competitiveness and sustainable growth. Also, the Committee was responsible for considering criteria for remuneration, meeting allowance and annual bonus payment of the Company on a fair and reasonable basis, in accordance with responsibilities and duties taken by the directors, a size of business and guidelines used in the same industry. The criteria for remuneration, meeting allowance and annual bonus payment for the directors was similar to that used by companies in the same industry. The Board of Directors of MCOT was of opinion that the Company still faced deficit and had the burden to invest in program contents to increase the program popularity, attract more customers, and to boost its competitiveness with other TV channels, which were the key channels of generating the income for MCOT. In the previous year, MCOT executives and staff members joined hands to reduce the Company's costs, especially overtime cost and other operating expenses, which could be controlled effectively.
