    3.1 To consider and approve the allocation of up to 769,230,770 shares at par value of THB 10 each for issuing and offering to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding, excluding shareholders whose holding of such share would subject the Company to any obligations under the law of other jurisdictions (Preferential Public Offering: PPO), at an offering ratio of not less than 1.885 existing ordinary shares to 1 new ordinary share, provided that a fraction of share will be rounded down, and the existing shareholders shall be entitled to oversubscribe for the new ordinary shares in excess of their rights; whereas new ordinary shares remaining unsubscribed from the first allocation will be re-allocated to every shareholder who has oversubscribed for and fully paid the price of the shares, whereby each round of reallocation will be made accordingly in proportion to their respective shareholdings of each oversubscribing shareholder (the "PPO"). In this regard, the allocation of the oversubscribed shares shall be made in accordance with the following details:

1

  1. if the number of shares remaining from the first allocation to the existing shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings is higher than or equal to the number of shares which are oversubscribed for by the existing shareholders, the Company will allocate the remaining shares to all oversubscribing shareholders who have fully paid the price of the oversubscribed shares in accordance with the number of shares for which they have expressed their intention to oversubscribe;
  2. if the number of shares remaining from the first allocation to the existing shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings is lower than the number of shares which are oversubscribed for by the existing shareholders, the Company will allocate the remaining shares to the oversubscribing shareholders as follows:
    2.1) the Company will allocate the remaining shares by multiplying the shareholding percentage of each oversubscribing shareholder by the number of the remaining shares, the result thereof will be in the round number of shares to be allocated to the oversubscribing shareholders. In the case of a fraction of a share, the fraction shall be rounded down. However, the number of shares to be allocated shall not exceed the number of shares for which each shareholder has subscribed and fully paid for;
    2.2) if there are shares remaining from the allocation pursuant to 2.1), the Company will allocate the remaining shares to each oversubscribing shareholder who has not been fully allocated with oversubscribed shares by multiplying the shareholding percentage of each oversubscribing existing shareholder by the number of the remaining shares, the result thereof will be the round number of shares be allocated to the oversubscribing shareholders. In the case of a fraction of a share, the fraction shall be rounded down. However, the number of shares to be allocated shall not exceed the number of shares for which each shareholder has subscribed and fully paid for. The Company shall allocate the oversubscribed shares to the oversubscribing shareholders in accordance with the procedures under this provision until there are no shares remaining from the allocation.

If the share subscription under the PPO would result in any subscriber holding the shares in the number which reaches or crosses the threshold where a tender offer for all securities of the Company is required under the law, such shareholder must comply with the relevant laws and regulations.

The offering price of the new ordinary shares in the PPO (the "PPO Price") is to be determined by the weighted average price of the Company's shares during a period of 7 - 15 consecutive trading days prior to the determination date of the PPO Price (the "Market Price") less a discount of not more than 25 percent of the Market Price and the amount of such discount shall be determined according to the market condition and other factors that are relevant as the Company considers appropriate, with the total value of PPO of approximately THB 30,000,000,000. The Company will
