Clarification on News

(Translation) No. CK-07-0000-AFD-L-0238 May 2, 2007 Re: Clarification on News Attn.: President of the Stock Exchange of Thailand Reference is made to the news articles in the Stock News Newspaper and the Post Today Newspaper regarding CK's mid-year dividend payment to comfort shareholders. CH. Karnchang Public Company Limited hereby clarifies that in respect of the transfer of reserves to offset the Company's accumulated loss against the legal reserve and the share premium reserve, thereby resulting in the Company's remaining accumulated loss of Baht 283,399, such offset of the accumulated loss is intended to ensure that the Company has the least possible amount of loss, which would enable the Company to pay dividend sooner. In this regard, it is expected that should the operation in the year 2007 derive profit, the accumulated loss would then be eliminated and the Company may be able to pay dividend, provided that interim dividend payment would depend on the results of operation and the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company. Please be informed accordingly. Very truly yours, - Signature - (Mr. Plew Trivisvavet) Chief Executive Officer ?? ?? ?? ?? 2
