Our successful debenture offering underscores investors’ confidence in the company, despite global economic uncertainties and investor apprehensions in Thai corporate debenture market. Furthermore, due to the overwhelming demands, the initial target debenture sale of 7,000 million Baht was fully closed at prompt. Consequently, we allocated an additional 3,500 million Baht greenshoe option to partially absorb the excess demands from investors, resulting in the total issued size of 10,500 million Baht. This is aligned with the maximum size reported in our filing with the SEC, aiming to provide safe investment opportunities to the public for a company with a credit rating of ‘A+’ and a ‘Stable’ outlook. The proceed of this debenture offering is to repay maturing debentures and/or reserve as working capital to support the company’s growth.”
