Regarding The Company's dividend policy, Federation of Accounting
Profession has revised accounting method to record the investment of
subsidiaries, jointed venture and associate company in Company Financial
Statement, from an equity method to a cost method. The revision causes
a difference in profit/loss reported in consolidated and company financial
statement. Therefore, for clarification, we would like to revise the
dividend policy as follow;
"The Company intends to pay dividends to shareholders not less than 40%
of net profit after tax reported in the Consolidated Financial Statement.
In the event that the Company is in default of principal or interest
payment under the debentures in any installment, the Company shall not pay
dividends in any form whatsoever to the shareholders of the Company.
Dividend payment will depend on cash flow and investment obligation of
Company and subsidiaries including any necessity and suitability in the
future. And it shall not exceed the retained earnings which indicated in
Company Financial Statement."
Please be informed accordingly
Yours faithfully,
-Signed-
Vikrom Sriprataks (Mr.)
