February 6, 2007
Re: Notification of Resolutions of the Board of Directors Meeting No.
1/2007
Attn.:President of the Stock Exchange of Thailand
Reference is made to the fact that CH. Karnchang Public Company
Limited held the Board of Directors Meeting No. 1/2007 on February 5, 2007
at 4:00 p.m. at the Conference Room on the 21st Floor, No. 587
Viriyathavorn Building, Sutthisarn Road, Dindaeng Subdistrict, Dindaeng
District, Bangkok.
The Board of Directors Meeting passed the following resolutions:
1.Resolved to grant approval for Pathum Thani Water Co., Ltd.
("PTW"), as an affiliated company of the Company, to restructure by
decreasing its registered capital by Baht 1,552,000,000 from Baht
2,752,000,000 by way of decrease of 15,520,000 shares, thereby remaining
the registered capital of Baht 1,200,000,000 divided into 12,000,000
ordinary shares at the value of Baht 100 per share.
In this regard, PTW wishes to undergo its financial restructuring
by decreasing the accumulated loss which would improve the financial status
of PTW. Should PTW enjoy good operational results, it would be able to
make earlier payment of dividends to the shareholders whereby the value of
PTW's shares would improve accordingly and such arrangements would in no
way affect the shareholders' equity in PTW.
Furthermore, such capital decrease would not affect the financial
position of CH. Karnchang Public Company Limited since the capital decrease
by way of decrease of the number of shares would increase the unit cost of
investments which would be recorded upon disposal of the investments. Such
capital decrease would thus make PTW ready to make earlier payment of
dividends to the shareholders, including an opportunity to raise funds from
the public or investors at a reasonable price and within a period
relatively shorter than no capital decrease.
Remark: As at January 25, 2006, PTW had the registered capital in the
amount of Baht 2,752,000,000 divided into 27,520,000 shares at the value of
Baht 100 per share.
2.Resolved to grant approval for the Company to decrease the number
of shares according to its shareholding ratio in PTW, representing a
decrease of approximately 7,200,467 shares, thereby remaining approximately
5,567,371 shares held in PTW at the value of Baht 100 per shares, or
representing approximately 46.39 percent of the registered capital.
Once PTW has fulfilled all steps for the decrease of its registered
capital, the Company will provide the Stock Exchange of Thailand with
information in respect of the shareholding structure and/or the number of
shares held by each shareholder after the decrease according to its
shareholding ratio in PTW.
Please be informed accordingly.
Very truly yours,
(Mr. Anukool Tuntimas)
Executive Vice President
