Ref. No. BTS 2229/2010
July 27, 2010
Subject: Shareholder proposing the meeting to consider matters other
than those
proposed in the invitation
To: President
The Stock Exchange of Thailand
Whereas BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited (the "Company") will hold the
Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for the Year 2010 on July 29, 2010 at
10.00 hrs. at Ballroom 1, 8th Floor, Eastin Makkasan Bangkok, No. 1091/343 New
Petchburi Road, Makkasan Sub-district, Rajthevee District, Bangkok (the
"Meeting").
The Company has been notified by Mr. Keeree Kanjanapas, the executive and
shareholder of the Company that he would like to propose the shareholders'
meeting to consider the additional agenda item re: the amendment of
resolution of Agenda Item No.8.2 (2) of the Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders No. 1/2010 held on April 29, 2010. This is to amend the offering
price of the newly issued ordinary shares to be allocated to the group of
financial institution investors or the group of clients of securities
companies who are the Company's underwriters from "at the offering price
between Baht
0.60-0.70 per share" to "at the offering price of not less than Baht 0.80 per
share". This is due to the fact that the market price of the Company's shares
has been increased in the past period and the increase of the offering price
will benefit both the Company and the shareholders since the Company will
receive more proceeds from the sales while there are still the same numbers
of shares.
In this regard, the Company would like to advise the shareholders as follows.
The Company has issued and allocated 19,032,004,098 new ordinary shares (out
of the total 20,150,704,709 shares available for sales) to the existing
shareholders, the financial institution investors and the group of clients of
the underwriter at the offering price of Baht 0.63 per share. Therefore, the
Company received totalling Baht 11,990,162,581.74 from such sales which is
sufficient for the repayment of the Tranche 1 loan facilities to Bangkok Bank
Plc. and the Company still remain 1,118,700,611 shares available for
sales to the group of financial institution investors or the group of clients
of securities companies who are the Company's underwriter.
However, the resolution of Agenda Item No. 8.2 (2) of the Extraordinary General
Meeting of Shareholders No. 1/2010 set the offering price of these newly
issued ordinary shares between Baht 0.60-0.70 per share; therefore, the
Company is unable to issue and sell these leftover shares at the offering
price higher than Baht 0.70 per share, unless the shareholders' resolution is
amended.
According to Section 105, Paragraph 2 of the Public Limited Companies Act B.E.
2535 (as amended), the shareholders may propose the shareholders' meeting to
consider matters other than those proposed in the notice calling for the
meeting if such shareholders hold shares not less than one-third of the
Company's total issued shares.
Mr. Keeree Kanjanapas holds 21,282,477,892 shares, equal to 38.83% of the
Company's total issued shares (the Company's total issued shares are
54,813,275,885 shares);
therefore, Mr. Keeree is entitled to propose the additional agenda to the
shareholders' meeting. Nevertheless, Mr. Keeree Kanjanapas wishes to give an
opportunity to the shareholders to jointly propose the additional agenda in
this Agenda 11. Therefore, the shareholders will be requested to consider
whether to jointly propose the additional agenda to the shareholders' meeting
with Mr. Keeree Kanjanapas.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours sincerely,
BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited
