Corporate Governance

To ensure that the Company’s operations comply with applicable laws and good corporate governance principles, the Board of Directors performs its duties with the objective of generating investment returns and safeguarding the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the management’s performance to ensure alignment with the Company’s objectives, policies, and strategic direction, in accordance with its roles, responsibilities, and delegated authorities as follows:

Scope of Authority, Duties and Responsibilities of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors comprises qualified individuals with diverse knowledge, capabilities, and experience. Their expertise contributes to the development of policies and strategic directions that support the Company’s business operations and long-term interests.

The Board exercises independent judgment in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Its key responsibilities include establishing the Company’s policies, overseeing, monitoring, and reviewing the performance of management, and evaluating the Company’s operating results against established plans and objectives.

The Company has a total of 9 directors, comprising 2 executive directors, 4 non-executive directors, and 3 independent directors. Independent directors account for one-third of the total Board, providing an appropriate balance of power against executive directors.

The Company has appointed an Audit Committee comprising 3 independent directors. Each director serves a term of 3 years, and the scope of duties and authority of the Audit Committee is clearly defined in the Audit Committee Charter.

Independent directors may serve continuously for no more than 9 years from the date of their first appointment as an independent director. Where it is considered necessary for an independent director to continue serving beyond this period, the Board shall carefully consider and provide reasonable justification for such necessity.

The Company has established a clear and transparent process for determining directors’ remuneration, which is submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for approval. Remuneration is determined based on the scope of duties and responsibilities of each director and is set at a level appropriate to attract and retain qualified directors. The remuneration is also benchmarked against that of companies operating in the same or comparable industries.

All directors understand their duties and responsibilities as members of the Board and are encouraged to express their opinions independently, continuously enhance their knowledge, and remain up to date with relevant developments. Directors are expected to perform their duties with integrity, due care, and prudence, while taking into consideration the best interests of the Company and fairness to all shareholders.

All directors are also expected to devote sufficient time to fully perform their responsibilities and to attend Board meetings regularly, except where there are reasonable grounds preventing attendance.

In addition, the Board places significant importance on the adequate disclosure of information to shareholders, investors, and all relevant stakeholders. Information disclosed must be accurate, complete, transparent, comprehensive, and timely. Such disclosure includes financial reports, operating performance, other relevant information, as well as information that may have an impact on the Company’s securities price, in accordance with good corporate governance principles.

The Company disseminates information and corporate news to shareholders, investors, and relevant stakeholders to support informed investment decisions through various channels, including postal communications, disclosure channels of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as the Company’s website following the listing of its ordinary shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.

1. Board Structure

1. The Board of Directors shall comprise individuals with diverse knowledge, capabilities, qualifications, skills, experience, and areas of expertise that are beneficial to the Company. The Board includes one executive director with experience in the Company’s core business. The Board plays a key role in determining the Company’s policies and overall direction, as well as independently overseeing, monitoring, and evaluating the Company’s performance to ensure that it is in line with the established plans.

2. The Board of Directors shall comprise independent directors who meet the qualifications prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Capital Market Supervisory Board. Non-independent directors shall be represented in a fair proportion corresponding to the investment interests of each shareholder group. The Board shall consist of no fewer than five directors, depending on the size, nature, and complexity of the Company’s business and in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association.

3. The term of office of directors shall be in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association. At each Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, one-third of the total number of directors shall retire by rotation. If the number of directors cannot be divided exactly into one-third, the number nearest to one-third shall retire. Directors who have held office the longest shall retire first. However, retiring directors may be re-elected for another term.

4. The Company’s independent directors shall possess the qualifications required by law and shall not have any characteristics that could impair their ability to express independent opinions regarding the Company’s operations. The Company discloses the qualifications of independent directors in its Annual Report.

Independent directors should serve continuously for no more than nine years from the date of their first appointment as independent directors. Where it is necessary to appoint an independent director to continue serving beyond this period, the Board of Directors should carefully consider and provide reasonable justification for such necessity.

In the following circumstances, more than half of the total number of directors shall be independent directors:

1. The Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer are the same person;
2. The Chairman of the Board is not an independent director;

The number of listed companies in which each director may hold a directorship should be appropriate to the nature and circumstances of the Company’s business and should not exceed five listed companies. This is because the effectiveness of a director’s performance may be reduced if he or she serves on too many boards. Such criteria should also be disclosed to the public.

9. The Board of Directors should appoint an independent director to serve as Chairman of the Board.
