Information Memorandum : MCOT
The issue will be asked for approval in the shareholder's meeting held after this Public Offering. The dividend will be
distributed to shareholders eligible to receive dividend at that time. The Revenue Department's Letter No. Gor Kor 0706/3154
dated 29 March 2004 has laid down the guideline that in the case of a company incorporated by the Corporatization of a
state enterprise into a company according to the State Enterprise Corporatization Act is paying dividend from profits
transferred from the previous state enterprise entity, shareholders receiving such dividend will not be able to enjoy tax
credit pursuant to Section 47 bis of the Revenue Code. As a result, if the Company distributes dividends out of its net
profit transferred from the Mass Communication Organization of Thailand which have not gone through the tax payment
system, the recipient of dividends coming from such sources will not qualify for tax credit, pursuant to Section 47 bis of
the Revenue Code.
