INGRS will convene the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting
No. 1/2025 on 14 August 2025 to consider
the ratification of financial assistance transactions provided to the ICB group
during the period from 31 January 2024 to 2 May 2025, in the form of loan
agreements with repayment on demand and advances without loan agreements, both
with and without interest charges. The total value of the financial assistance
amounts to 197.31 million Malaysian ringgit (approximately 1,505 million baht).
As of 2 May 2025, the total outstanding principal and accrued interest
receivable equals 95.66 million Malaysian Ringgit (approximately 730 million
Baht).
However, the IFA is of the opinion that the INGRS shareholders
should not approve the ratification of the transactions, as the INGRS group may
face risks from potential default by the ICB group, given ICB's significantly
weakened operating results and financial position, which affects ICB's debt repayment
capability. Additionally, the repayment plan lacks clarity, and the loan agreement
terms are inappropriate and may unduly
benefit the ICB group.
Moreover, the Board of Directors
and the Audit Committee of INGRS deem it appropriate to revise the policies and
internal processes related to providing financial assistance to the related
party to ensure greater rigor and compliance with the rules and regulations issued
by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and the SEC. Additionally, they will
improve the terms and conditions of inter-company loan agreements to ensure
clarity and appropriateness.
Accordingly, the SEC urges the INGRS shareholders
to carefully review all information, consider the advantages, disadvantages,
benefits, risks, and potential impacts of approving or rejecting the
ratification of the financial assistance transactions, exercise their rights to
protect their interests, and make inquiries with INGRS’s management to obtain
sufficient information for decision-making.
The above transactions require approval by the
shareholders’ meeting by a vote of not less than three-fourths of the total
votes of the attending shareholders with the voting rights, excluding votes of
shareholders with conflicts of interest.
