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



Tuesday 7 October 2025 | No. 253 / 2025


Bangkok, 7 October 2025 – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) urges the bondholders of three series of Siamnuwat 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 10 October 2025. 

Siamnuwat Co., Ltd., the issuer of SNW231A, SNW224A and SNW233A bond series, will electronically convene the Bondholders’ Meeting No. 1/2025 on 10 October 2025 at 14.00 hours to consider the following matters:   

          (1) Approving the extension of the maturity dates for redemption of all three bond series for one year and six months, starting from the original maturity dates;  

          (2) Approving partial repayments of the bond principals in an aggregate amount of not less than 10 percent of the principal value of each bond series as of the bond issuance dates. The partial principal repayments will be made within one year from the original maturity dates, and the remaining principals will be repaid on the extended maturity dates;   

          (3) Approving partial interest payments at the rate of 7.00 percent per year (reduced from the previous rate of 8.50 percent per year) over a period of nine months from the original maturity date of each bond series. The remaining 1.50 percent per year interest will be deferred, and the deferred interest will be calculated and paid on the new extended maturity dates or on the date of early redemption of the entire bond series;       

          (4) Approving an exemption from an event of default under the terms and conditions for the company’s inability to comply with the financial covenant requiring the maintenance of the interest-bearing debt to equity ratio not exceeding 5:1, which will appear in the annual financial statements for 2025 and 2026;           
          (5) Approving other actions related to the bond series, with details as follows:
                    - Granting an exemption from an event of default under the terms and conditions for the issuer’s proposal at the Bondholders’ Meeting No. 1/2025 to revise the repayment terms for SNW231A, SNW224A, and SNW233A bond series, with a total outstanding principal amount of 497.5 million baht;

                    - Granting an exemption from an event of default under the terms and conditions for the issuer's negotiation or entry into any agreement for debt restructuring with one or multiple creditors, either before or within one year from the date of the Bondholders' Meeting No. 1/2025 (if applicable).

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’ representative to obtain comprehensive information before making a voting decision at the bondholders’ e-meeting.
