ACC
submitted a letter providing clarification to the SEC and publicly disclosed
such information through the SETLink on 1 April 2026 regarding the criteria
applied in selecting private placement (PP) investors, including the procedures
for verifying their qualifications and experience. However, the SEC found that
certain information still required further clarification and more complete
disclosure, including, for example, (1) the rationale, necessity, and urgency
of fundraising through the issuance of PP shares; (2) the rationale for, and
process of, selecting the PP investors; (3) information demonstrating that such
PP investors have the potential to provide strategic support to the business;
(4) the company’s board of directors’ opinions in assessing the PP investors’
qualifications based on the applied criteria; and (5) the approach to managing
any potential risks. In addition, ACC has not yet submitted all relevant
supporting documents for its clarification. Such information is material and
may affect the rights and interests of shareholders or investors’ investment
decision‑making.
ACC has
not yet accurately and completely disclosed such information, which may result
in shareholders not having sufficient material information to make informed
voting decisions on the relevant agenda items. Accordingly, pursuant to Section
58(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act B.E. 2535 (1992), the SEC has instructed
ACC to further clarify the facts, together with relevant supporting documents,
in relation to the above PP capital increase, and to submit such information to
the SEC by 23 April 2026, as well as to publicly disclose
the information via SETLink.
In the
case of the PP offering with a clearly specified offering price by ACC, such
offering shall be deemed to have been approved by the SEC where the
shareholders’ meeting has passed a resolution clearly determining the offering
price by specifying a fixed price, and where the notice of the shareholders’
meeting has been sent to shareholders at least 14 days prior to the meeting
date and disclosed through the SETLink. In this regard, the notice of the
shareholders’ meeting delivered to shareholders must contain the information
required under the relevant rules*.
Therefore,
ACC must disclose material information accurately, completely, and sufficiently
to enable shareholders to make an informed voting decision. In the event of any
violation or failure to comply with the rules**, it shall be deemed that ACC
has not been approved to offer newly issued shares through PP within the
meaning of the Notification. In such case, ACC should ensure that shareholders
are informed of such material information at least 14 days prior to the date of
the shareholders’ meeting convened to seek approval for the issuance and
offering of new shares through PP, so that the shareholders of ACC are provided
with sufficient time to consider and make their decision.
