Chayo
Group Public Company Limited (CHAYO) convened a bondholders’ meeting for CHAYO273A
and CHAYO279A bond series on 29 July 2025 but the meeting
failed to meet the quorum requirement under the terms and conditions. The
company will electronically reconvene the bondholders’ meeting on 8 August 2025
at 14.00 hours to consider the following matters:
(1) Extending the redemption maturity periods for another two
years, and dividing the principal repayment into two installments; The first
installment, totaling at least 10 percent of the current unredeemed bond value,
will be made on the original maturity date, and the second installment will repay
the entire remaining balance on the extended maturity date;
(2) Increasing the bond interest rate
by 0.125 percent per year throughout the extended maturity periods, as follows:
- For CHAYO273A bond
series, from the original rate of 6.25 percent per year to 6.375 percent per
year;
- For CHAYO279A bond
series, from the original rate of 6.40 percent per year to 6.525 percent per
year.
CHAYO
will propose the bond interest rate increase for consideration upon the
bondholders’ approval of the extension of the redemption maturity periods under
Item (1).
(3) Adding an obligation requiring
the bond issuer to allocate at least 50 percent of the net proceeds received
from the sale of land located on Koh Yao Yai, Phang Nga Province, after
deducting relevant expenses, to repay all bond series for which the extension
of the maturity periods have been approved.
CHAYO will propose this additional obligation
for consideration after the bondholders approve the redemption maturity periods
as per Item (1).
(4) Allowing the bond issuer to
exercise the right to repay the bonds before the maturity dates, either in
whole or in part, without incurring any prepayment fees.
The SEC
requires that the bondholders’ representative analyzes 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’ representative to obtain comprehensive
information before making a voting decision at the bondholders’ meeting.
