for 2006
Objectives and Reasons: The Company has a
policy to pay dividend to shareholders as seen appropriate
by the Board of Directors, taking into account the
Company's annual operation results. Dividend payment
must also be approved by the shareholders' meeting.
In 2006, the Company still has retained loss of 46,534,789
baht, which according to the Public Company Act, the
Company cannot pay dividend.
Board of Directors’ Opinion: Propose that
the Shareholders' Meeting acknowledge the Company's
operation results and withheld dividend payment for
2006, because the company has retained loss of 46,534,789
baht in 2006.
Agenda 5: To consider and approve the
appointment of directors to replace directors whose
retired by rotation
Objectives and Reasons: The Shareholders'
Meeting should consider appointing directors as Article
12 of the Company's Articles of Association states
that at each annual general meeting of shareholders,
one-third of directors must resign. If the number of
directors who resign cannot be divided exactly in one-third,
the nearest number of 1/3 must retire by rotation.
The names of directors whose term ends by rotation
for this year as shown in Attachment 3 are as follows:
1. Mr. Wichai Thongtang
Chairman of the Board and Authorized Director of the
Company
2. Mr. Att Thongtang Director
and Authorized Director of the Company
3. Dr. Sathian Limphongpand Director
4. Mr. Taratorn Premsoontorn Director
5. Mr. Nuttawut Phowborom Independent Director/
Audit Director
Board of Directors’ Opinion: The five directors whose term has expired
are capable, knowledgeable people who have been participating at the Board
Meetings regularly. They also give valuable advice for the Company's benefit.
Therefore, it is agreed that the Shareholders' Meeting should re-elect these
directors who would retire by rotation from directorship for another term as
follows.
1. Mr. Wichai Thongtang Chairman of
the Board and Authorized Director of the Company
2. Mr. Att Thongtang Director
and Authorized Director of the Company
3. Dr. Sathian Limphongpand Director
4. Mr.
Taratorn Premsoontorn Director
5. Mr. Nuttawut Phowborom Independent Director/
Audit Director
Agenda 6: To consider and approve the
directors’ remuneration
Objectives and Reasons: The directors’ remuneration
should be appropriate and reasonable to their capabilities
and responsibilities. The Board of Directors who determines
the remuneration compares to that of the registered
companies on the SET in similar business type and size.
The remuneration allocated to the Company Board and
Committees is based on their job scope as shown in
Attachment 4.
Board of Directors’ Opinion: Propose that the
Shareholders Meeting approve the directors' remuneration
for the year 2007 in the amount of 2,300,000 baht,
which is the same as in the past year and is 1.73%
of total income of the Company.
Agenda 7: To consideration and approve
the appointment of the Company's auditors for the
Year 2007 and approve the auditor's remuneration
Objectives and Reasons: Allow the Shareholders'
Meeting to appoint the auditors for the Year 2007 and
approve the auditor's remuneration in accordance to
Section 120 of the Public Companies Act B.E.2535
Board of Directors’ Opinion: The Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC) requires that registered companies must change their auditors at
least once every 5 years. Mr. Vairoj Jindamaneepitak, CPA from KPMG Phoomchai
Co., Ltd. has been the CPA for the Company from 2001 to 2006, total 5 years.
Thus it is time to change the CPA to conform with the applicable SEC regulations.
KPMG proposes their audit service in 2007 and there are three auditors as follows.
1. Mr. Ekkasit Chuthamsatid Registration
No. 4195 or
2. Ms. Kalyarat Chaivorapongsa
Registration No. 3460 or
3. Mr. Charoen Phosamritlert
Registration No. 4068
After consideration, the Board considers it appropriate
to continuing engaging KPMG for the Accounting Year
2007, because
1. KPMG is an audit company which is well-known
worldwide. Therefore, we believe that their auditors
can work professionally and independently. They should
be able to cooperate with the Audit Committee, Management
and Internal Control Department to audit the system
and operation, control and follow up efficiently and
to keep up with the standard.
2. Last year, KPMG performance was satisfactory.
3. KPMG was the auditor since the Company was conducting
the business rehabilitation plan and understood the
Company's complicated situation. Employing KPMG allows
continuous audit work.
The CPA proposes the remuneration for the year 2007
to be 1,380,000 baht, up 10.40% as compared to 1,250,000
baht in 2006. The Board of Directors agreed to approve
because of the greater work load and the change in
the Accounting Standard in 2007. Moreover, the Company
and its subsidiaries also changed new computer programs
which complicate the audit procedure.
Board of Directors’ Opinion: Agreed that KPMG
is a well-known audit company is independent and has
no interests in the Company or its subsidiaries or
with the management or their related persons. It also
does not provide other services to the Company and
its subsidiaries with higher value than the audit remuneration.
Propose that the Shareholders Meeting approve appointing
KPMG to be the Company's auditors for the Year 2007.
Their name list is as follows:
1. Mr. Ekkasit Chuthamsatid
Registration No. 4195 or
2. Ms. Kalyarat Chaivorapongsa
Registration No. 3460 or
3. Mr. Charoen Phosamritlert
Registration No. 4068
ATTACHMENT are their background, work experiences
and remuneration.
KPMG is also the shareholders’ representative in examining
the votes counted at the Shareholders' Meeting.
Agenda 8: To consider any other matter
(if any)
I would like to invite shareholders to the Shareholders'
Meeting on the date and at the time and place as mentioned
above. Registration is opened to shareholders since
13.00 onwards. If you cannot attend the Meeting yourself
and would like to appoint a proxy to vote at this Meeting,
please fill in the details and sign the Proxy Form
with necessary documents or evidences for meeting participation.
List of documents is ATTACHMENT to this notice.
The Company will close the share register to suspend
any share transfer to determine the shareholders' right
to join the Meeting from Monday 9th April 2007, time
12.00 noon onwards until the 2007 Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders is closed.
Yours sincerely,
(Mr. Wichai Thongtang)
Chairman of the Board
