Bangkok, 4 June 2025 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) urges the SQ256A bondholders to study all available information, exercise their rights at the upcoming bondholders’ meeting, and reach out to the bond issuer or the bondholders’ representative to obtain comprehensive and sufficient details for making an informed voting decision. The bondholders’ meeting will be held on 6 June 2025.

          (2) Extending the maturity date by three years, to be due on 19 June 2028;

                     Installment 2: 10 percent of the principal amount at the bond issuance date;  
                     Installment 3: 35 percent of the principal amount at the bond issuance date;
                     Installment 4: The remaining balance in full.
                     The principal amount at the bond issuance date is 550 million baht     
          (4) Increasing the bond interest rate from 4.90 percent per year to 6.25 percent per year throughout the extended maturity period;  
          (5) Allowing the bond issuer to redeem the bond, in full or in part, on any interest payment date occurring prior to the extended maturity date.

The SEC requires that the bondholders’ representatives 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 the opinions of the bondholders’ representatives. The bondholders are, therefore, encouraged to thoroughly review the information and exercise their rights to protect their own interests.
