Thursday 18 January 2024 | No. 19 / 2024


Bangkok, 18 January 2024 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) encourages the bondholders of three tranches of Siamnuwat bonds, namely 1) SNW231A, 2) SNW233A and 3) SNW224A, to study all available information, reach out to the bond issuer or the bondholder representative to obtain comprehensive and sufficient details for making an informed voting decision, and exercise their rights at the upcoming bondholders’ meeting, 

Siamnuwat Co., Ltd., the issuer of SNW231A, SNW233A and SNW224A bonds, will convene the bondholders’ electronic meeting No. 1/2567 on 23 January 2024 at 13.00 hours, 14.00 hours, and 15.00 hours, respectively. The e-meeting’s agenda contains subject matters for consideration as follows:    

          Agenda Item 1: Consideration for approval of an extension of the maturity dates of SNW231A, SNW233A and SNW224A bonds for additional nine months;   

          Agenda Item 2: Consideration for approval of an additional collateral increase through registration of business collateral rights to claim the entire amount of the deposits in the escrow account, in proportion to the company’s amounts of debts to each tranche of the bonds, namely SNW231A, SNW233A and SNW224A;   

Agenda Item 3: Consideration for approval of a waiver for the company’s inability to comply with the requirements regarding the maintenance of the debt-to-equity ratio that incurs interest, which will be reflected in the financial statements for the year 2023, as a cause of default of the terms of rights of SNW231A, SNW233A and SNW224A bonds;   

Agenda Item 4: Consideration for approval of a partial repayment of the principal, with a total amount not less than 3 percent of the principal value on the issuance date (accounting for 6 million baht). The partial repayment date is proposed to be made on 28 April 2024, and the remaining principal is to be repaid on 28 January 2025, which is the extended maturity date of SNW224A bond.  

The SEC requires that the bondholder representative analyze the benefits and shortcomings as well as the potential impacts on the bondholders both in cases of approval and decline of approval for the above matters with respective supporting reasons, and clearly provide information to the bondholders together with the opinions of the bondholder representative. The bondholders are, therefore, encouraged to thoroughly review the information and exercise their rights to protect their own interests. They should also make necessary inquiries to the bondholder representative to obtain complete information before making an informed decision at the bondholders’ e-meeting.
