Footnotes	The Company's Board of Directors Meeting which was held on February 28, 2012 approved the book closure date for the share transfer with respect to the entitlement to dividend payment ("Dividend") on Friday, May 4, 2012 ("BCD"). This is to permit investors to trade their shares on a cum-basis until one date after our 2012 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders which is schedule to be held on April 27, 2012 at 10.00 a.m. (Bangkok Time) in Bangkok, Thailand. We would like to clarify that although Thailand Securities Depository Co., Ltd. ("TSD") determines that the rights of shareholders are based on shareholders whose names appear in TSD register on the BCD; however, the Central Depository (Pte) Limited ("CDP") determines that investors' rights are based on shareholders whose names appear in CDP register as at 5.00 p.m. (Singapore Time) on May 3, 2012. Accordingly, investors who hold shares through the CDP will only be entitled to receive Dividend through CDP if their names appear in CDP register as at 5.00 p.m. (Singapore Time) on May 3, 2012. Remark: - Annual dividend of 2011 is Baht 0.37 per share. We already paid the interim dividend of 2011 of Baht 0.15 per share in September 2011. Therefore, the balance dividend of 2011 to be paid at this time is Baht 0.22 per share. - Dividends in respect of shares are generally subject to Thai income tax withholding at a rate of 10%.
