In addition, the Company wishes to allocate 13,500,000 new shares (with par value of one (1) Baht) to support the exercise of right to convert the said warrants. 1. Objectives and need to offer warrants to director The reason for designation of number of shares allocated to support the exercise of right for 13,500,000 shares, representing 5 percent of all issued shares of the Company and the designation of exercise price at Baht 1.78 per share which was the closing price of ordinary shares of the Company traded on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 28 February 2007 (The market price is Baht 2.02 which is the weighed average closing price of ordinary shares of the Company traded on the Stock Exchange of Thailand during 14 business days prior to the date of meeting of the Remuneration Committee and the date of Board of Directors meeting No. 167 of the Company on 14 August 2007 (23 July 2007 until 10 August 2007)), and the need and benefits which the Company will receive compared to the benefits to be received by director of the Company shall be as follows: The offer of warrants to Mr. Daniel Michel Philiponet, Managing Director of the Company, aims to support a major improvement in the performance of the Company and the delivery of greatly improved return to shareholders of the Company. Mr. Daniel Michel Philiponet is knowledgeable and efficient. He is highly responsible and experienced and has greatly contributed to the profitability of the Company. Mr. Daniel Michel Philiponet has solved problems resulting in a decrease in the Company's loss. He also demonstrates his vision in formulating the Company's strategies by improving the quality of the Company's products, after sale services. This is intended for the Company to resume the status of leader in the supply of electrical appliances and to aim to replacement market and product-exchange market. As a result of his dedication, Mr. Daniel Michel Philiponet has improved the results of operations of the Company of the 2nd quarter of 2007 compared to those of the same period of 2006. His efforts would enable the Company to achieve its goal. This benefit would serve as an incentive for him to use his knowledge, competency and vision to manage the Company's business efficiently in the long run under the Company's business plan. Mr.Daniel Michel Philiponet will be provided with warrants with the exercise price fixed at the market price on 28 February 2007. If the director can drive the performance of the Company, and the Company's shares appreciate and achieve a higher price, which would be beneficial to all of the shareholders, the director will be rewarded by the ability to exercise his warrants and become the holder of a stake in the Company, with the possibility of selling shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. At the same time, no material cost will be incurred by the Company. In contrast, if the Company's shares do not achieve a higher price, no benefit can be obtained by the director. However, the designation of the exercise price at Baht 1.78 per share may be viewed as being lower than the current market price. From the date Mr. Philiponet became the Managing Director of the Company on March 1, 2007, the results of operations of the Company in the 2nd quarter of 2007 has improved and the Company's share price has increased. Consequently,the exercise price fixed at the market price on 28 February 2007, which was the date prior to Mr. Daniel Michel Philiponet's assuming the post of the Managing Director, the benchmark for the purposes of evaluating Mr. Daniel Michel Philiponet's performance, is lower than the present market price. The discount is at 11.88%. However, the market price at the time of exercise (the first exercise may be made after 28 February 2008.) may be higher or lower. If the market price of the shares are lower, the monetary benefit to be received by Mr. Daniel Michel Philiponet would be less accordingly, or he would probably not receive any monetary benefit if the share price at the time of the exercise is lower than the exercise price. In addition, the grant of theses options is necessary to ensure the continued service of a very experienced director which is critical to the Company's recovery from a difficult period. 2.Nature of securities, rules, conditions and method of offering Type of warrants: Named warrants to purchase the Company's ordinary shares, subject to transfer restrictions Amount of warrants: 13,500,000 units Offer price per unit: 0 baht per unit Life of warrants: 5 years from the date of issuance and first offer of the warrants Ratio of exercise of right: 1 warrant is entitled to purchase 1 ordinary share (exercise ratio may change afterwards pursuant to the conditions on right adjustment under Clause 6) Exercise price to purchase Baht 1.78 per share, which was the closing ordinary shares: price of the Company's ordinary shares traded on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 28 February 2007.
