SEC urges EA bondholders to exercise their rights at the upcoming bondholders’ meeting



Monday 14 July 2025 | No. 172 / 2025


Bangkok, 14 July 2025 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) urges the bondholders of two series of EA bonds 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 16 July 2025.   

Energy Absolute Public Company Limited (EA) convened a bondholders’ meeting for EA269A and EA289A bond series on 9 July 2025. The meeting did not meet the quorum requirement under the terms and conditions. Accordingly, the company will reconvene the meeting for both bond series on 16 July at 10.00 hours in a hybrid format, to be held at the Office Building of Next Point Public Company Limited (Grand Ballroom, 1st floor, No. 999/999, Moo 4, Ban Chalong Subdistrict, Bang Phi District, Samut Prakan province) and via electronic media. The matters for consideration are as follows:
          (1) Granting an exemption for the bond issuer’s non-compliance with the terms and conditions for not closing the bondholder register for convening the bondholders’ meeting and for calling the bondholders’ meeting less than seven days before the meeting date;   
          (2) Granting an exemption from an event of default under the terms and conditions for the bond issuer’s proposal to the bondholders' meeting to restructure bond debt repayment by extending the maturity periods, granting the right to redeem bonds prior to maturity (call option), modifying the bond interest rates and providing for partial principals repayment that constitutes a debt payment deferral by the bond issuer, including postponement or modification of debt payment schedules, or any adjustments related to any type of debt, whether proposed at the Bondholders' Meeting No. 2/2025, or the Bondholders’ Meeting No. 3/2025, any adjourned meeting, or any other meeting; 
          (3) Revising the bond maturity periods from seven years to five years, granting the bond issuer the right to redeem bonds prior to maturity (call option), increasing the interest rate by 0.50 percent per year throughout the extended maturity period, and modifying the principal repayment schedule from seven to five installments, as follows:  
                Installments 1-4: 10 percent of the principal value at bond issuance dates;
                Installment 5: 60 percent of the principal value at bond issuance date.   
                [Applicable to the bond series granted approval for Agenda Item (2)].   

The SEC requires that the bondholders’ 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 the opinions of the bondholders’ 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 bondholders’ representatives to obtain comprehensive information before making a voting decision at the bondholders’ meeting.      


 

Remark:
Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited is the bondholders’ representative for two bond series, as follows:  
          - EA269A series, to be due on 29 September 2026  
          - EA289A series, to be due on 29 September 2028
