The Meeting approved the allocation of newly issued shares as follows: 8.1 Allocation of up to 31,481,481,482 new ordinary shares with a par value of THB 0.95 each in reserve for the exercise of TSRs If any TSR holder partially exercises or does not exercise his/her right to subscribe for the newly issued ordinary shares under the TSRs, those new ordinary shares issued in reserve for the exercise of the TSRs that are left unsubscribed will be reallocated to other existing shareholders whose names are in the share register book on the Record Date and who express the intention to subscribe for the newly issued ordinary shares (however, any TSR holder who is not the TMB existing shareholder as at the Record Date and purchases the TSRs on the SET is not qualified for the reallocation). In this connection, the existing shareholders may subscribe for these newly issued shares in excess of their original entitlements, although such existing shareholders do not exercise his/her rights to subscribe for the newly issued ordinary shares under the TSRs offering. In a situation where the amount of the remaining unsubscribed shares is lower than the total number of shares for which the existing shareholders have expressed their intention to subscribe, TMB will allocate this tranche of shares to those who express his/her intention to subscribe for the remaining unsubscribed shares and make a full payment within TMB's prescribed time on a pro rata basis (as of the Record Date) until there are no unsubscribed newly issued shares left. However, in the case where the amount of unsubscribed newly issued shares is greater than the total number of shares for which the existing shareholders have expressed their intention to subscribe, TMB will allocate those remaining shares to all of those who express his/her intention to subscribe for the remaining unsubscribed shares and make a full payment within TMB's prescribed time. In allocating the remaining unsubscribed shares reserved for the exercise of TSRs, TMB reserves the right to, at its own discretion, deny an allocation of TSRs to any shareholder if such allocation does or may (a) cause TMB to breach Thai or foreign laws, rules or regulations and/or its own articles of association, (b) put an extra burden on TMB, in addition to its obligation to comply with rules and regulations relating to the issue and offering of securities under Thai law, or (c) not adhere to the rules, procedures or conditions relating to the allocation of TSRs. In addition, TMB may exclusively allocate TSRs to a particular shareholder subject to an exemption permitted by a foreign law which remains effective at that time. 8.2 Allocation of up to 3,067,340,365 new ordinary shares with a par value of THB 0.95 each on a private placement basis to specific investor(s) who is not related persons of TMB, after the funding under 8.1. TMB expects to obtain the proceeds of not exceeding THB 6.4 billion from this private placement. It was resolved that the board or CEO would be authorised to determine the offering price, calculated based in accordance with the Market Price under the following conditions: (a) the offering price will be at least equal to 1.1 multiplied by the TMB book value per share, derived from TMB's audited consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2019 and the financial information prepared by TMB's management in relation to its net profit from the end date of its latest financial statements to 31 October 2019, plus the proceeds of the offering of new ordinary shares issued in reserve for exercise of TSRs referred to in 8.1 above, deducted by (if any) an adjustment to reflect the effects of provisions in relation to a cash reserve as required by the TFRS No. 9; and (b) the offering price will be at least equal to the Market Price calculated from the weighted average closing price of TMB shares traded on the SET during 7-15 consecutive business days (Market Price) before the date the determination of the offering price takes place. In any case, for the best interest of TMB, if there is any appropriate circumstance, TMB may discount the offering price but not more than 10% of the Market Price (for more information, please see Annex 3 (Information Memorandum Re: Issuance and Offering of Newly Issued Ordinary Shares)). 8.3 Allocation of up to 27,622,837,416 newly issued ordinary shares with a par value of THB 0.95 each to all existing shareholders of TBANK at an offering price equal to 1.1 multiplied by the TMB book value per share, derived from TMB's consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2019 audited by the approved auditor of TBANK and TBANK's financial information prepared by TMB's management in relation to its net profit from the end date of its latest financial statements to 31 October 2019, plus the proceeds of the offering of new ordinary shares issued in reserve for the exercise of TSRs referred to in 8.1, deducted by (if any) an adjustment to reflect the effects of provisions in relation to a cash reserve as required by the TFRS No.9. If the Completion Date takes place during the month of December, the Purchase Price will be based on TBANK's audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 November 2019 plus the amount in THB equal to the average per calendar day net profit (determined based on the audited financial statements of the Company as at, and for the eleven month period ending on, 30 November 2019) of TBANK, TFUND and TBROKE multiplied by the number of calendar days beginning on 1 December 2019 up to and including the on which completion occurs in December 2019.In addition to a subscription for its own account, TCAP will also subscribe for a designated amount of TMB newly issued ordinary shares on behalf of all TBANK minority shareholders for further reallocation to them. The Meeting took the view that this offering price is reasonable because (i) if the offering price is determined at 1.1 multiplied by the latest book value of TMB on the date of the TMB board meeting, it is not lower than 90% of the Market Price, and (ii) TMB will be able to use the proceeds to fund the share acquisition in TBANK and to maintain its Tier 1 capital ratio at a minimum of 12.00%. Each group of TBANK existing shareholders (i.e. TCAP, BNS and TCAP (acting on account of TBANK minority shareholders for further reallocation)) is entitled to subscribe for TMB shares up to the amount designated to each of them in the below table. With respect to the TMB shares that TCAP will reallocate to the minority shareholders, if there are shares remaining unsubscribed after the pro rata allocation, TCAP will further reallocate the remaining TMB shares to minority shareholders who express his/her intention to subscribe for those remaining unsubscribed shares on a pro rata basis. In any case, if there are TMB shares remaining unsubscribed after the reallocation to minority shareholders, TCAP may need to continue holding those shares for its own account. Under this offering, up to 27,622,837,416 new ordinary shares will be issued to all TBANK existing shareholders after the fund-raising arrangement under clause 8.1 and clause 8.2 are completed. If the offering price is calculated at 1.1 multiplied by the latest book value of TMB on the date of the TMB board meeting (i.e. 7 August 2019), the offering price will not be lower than 90% of the Market Price (calculated from the weighted average closing price of TMB shares traded on the SET during the last 7 consecutive business days before the date of the TMB board meeting, i.e. THB 1.87 per share). However, given that the basis of 1.1 multiplied by the latest book value of TMB after adjustment to reflect the proceeds of the funding under 8.1 above applies, there is a possibility that this offering may be considered a preferential public offering (PPO) for which the offering price may be lower than 90% of the Market Price. As such, TMB needs to seek a shareholders' approval with no less than three-quarters of the total votes cast by the shareholders present and eligible to vote and without an aggregate of 10% or more of the total votes of those shareholders voting against (for more information, please see Annex 3 (Information Memorandum Re: Issuance and Offering of Newly Issued Ordinary Shares)). 8.4 Allocation of up to 200,000,000 new ordinary shares (or 0.2%) of the total issued and outstanding shares in TMB (after the offering of new ordinary shares under 8.1 - 8.3 above (on the assumption that TMB is able to fully offer the total amount of shares)) to executives and employees of TMB and TBANK (including TBANK which will be a subsidiary of TMB upon the shares acquisition by TMB) in accordance with the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board no. Thor Chor.32/2551 re: offering of newly issued securities to a company's directors or employees (as amended) (for more information, please see Annex 4 (Indicative Terms of the Issuance and Offering of Newly Issued Ordinary Shares to Executives and Employees of TMB and TBANK under the TMB Stock Retention Program)). This TMB Stock Retention Program is launched to retain and persuade the executives and employees of both TMB and TBANK to work with TMB and to drive the transaction towards the completion of the Merger. As a result, if the Merger fails to complete for whatever reason, TMB will not allocate shares to the relevant executives and employees under this TMB Stock Retention Program. In addition, TMB will allocate and offer the said shares in 3 tranches at the same offering price. The offering price will be determined by The board of directors or CEO which will not be lower than the weighted average closing price of TMB shares traded on the SET during the period of not less than 7 consecutive business days but not more than 15 consecutive business days before the determination date of the offering price (Market Price). Such offering price determination date will not be sooner than 3 business days before the allocation and offering of the first tranche of this Stock Retention shares. However, since the price of Stock Retention shares will be determined based on the Market Price at the time of the allocation and offer of the first tranche only, therefore, it is possible that the price of the remaining tranches may be considered an offering at a price lower than 90% of the Market Price determined under the Notification of the Securities and Exchange Committee No. TorJor 32/2551 re: The Offering of Newly-issued Securities to Directors and Employees of the Company dated 15 December 2008 (as amended). As such, TMB needs to seek a shareholders' approval with no less than three-quarters of the total votes cast by the shareholders present and eligible to vote and without an aggregate of 10% or more of the total votes of those shareholders voting against this agenda; ______________________________________________________________________ Issued Convertible Securities Subject : Issued convertible securities Date of Board resolution : 07-Aug-2019 Type of allocated securities : Transferable Subscription Rights (TSR) Allocate to : Existing common shareholders Number of allotted TSR (units) : 31,481,481,482 Reserved shares for the exercise of : Common shares TSR Number of additional shares (shares) : 31,481,481,482 Ratio (Existing shares : TSR) : 1.39 : 1 Offering price (baht per unit) : 0 Description of TSR Name of TSR : The Transferable Subscription Rights (TSRs) of TMB Bank Public Company Limited Conversion ratio(TSR :shares) : 1 : 1 Term of TSR : Not exceeding two months from the issuance date. Remark (New) : 7. The Meeting approved the issuance of up to 31,481,481,482 TSRs for free to TMB existing shareholders on a pro rata basis. The allocation ratio of not lower than 1.39 existing shares to 1 TSR unit applies (a fractional amount will be rounded down). Each TSR is exercisable into one new ordinary share. TMB expects to obtain the proceeds of not exceeding THB 42.5 billion from this TSR offering. However, the CEO has been authorised by the board to schedule the record date for the TSRs offering, as he deems it appropriate, to the extent permitted by law. The TSR exercise price will be at a range of THB 1.35 - THB 1.60 per share. For demonstration purposes only, when comparing such minimum exercise price against the Market Price of TMB shares as of the date of the TMB board meeting (i.e. 7 August 2019), such minimum exercise price would represent a discount of 14.5% - 27.9% on the Market Price (calculated from the weighted average closing price of TMB shares traded on the SET during the last 7 consecutive business days before the date of the TMB board meeting, i.e. THB 1.87 per share). To the extent permitted by any applicable law which will become effective in the future, TMB reserves the right to, at its own discretion, deny an offering of TSRs to any shareholder if such offering does or may (a) cause TMB to breach Thai or foreign laws, rules or regulations and/or its own articles of association, (b) put an extra burden on TMB, in addition to its obligation to comply with rules and regulations relating to the issue and offering of securities under Thai law, or (c) not adhere to the rules, procedures or conditions relating to the allocation of TSRs. In addition, TMB may exclusively allocate TSRs to a particular shareholder subject to an exemption permitted by a foreign law which remains effective at that time (for more information, please see Annex 2 (Indicative Terms of the Transferrable Subscription Rights issued by TMB)). Further, the Meeting viewed that TMB shareholders could benefit from the TSRs. In summary, it is optional for each shareholder to subscribe for the newly issued shares based on the number of TSRs allocated to him/her. For those shareholders opting not to exercise the subscription rights, they can earn money by selling their portions of TSRs on the SET after the SET-listing of TSRs. To expedite and facilitate the issuance and allocation of TSRs, the Meeting also approved: (a) appointing the CEO or directors who can sign to bind TMB and his/her designated representative to sign any and all applications and documents relating to the TSRs offering, and (b) designating the CEO or directors who can sign to bind TMB to establish the terms and other details relating to the offering of TSRs and the allocation of new ordinary shares issued to support the exercise of TSRs, which include: (i) the issuing number, allocation ratio and exercise price of TSRs, (ii) the offering and exercise period for TSRs, the subscription and payment period for the newly issued shares and all other related terms and details, (iii) the negotiation, conclusion and execution of all agreements, deeds, applications and documents necessary and ancillary to the offering of TSRs and the allocation of new ordinary shares reserved for the exercise of TSRs, and (iv) the communications and filings of all applications and documents with the relevant government agencies or other authorities, including the SET-listing of TSRs and new ordinary shares. Any authorised individuals will also have the powers to take all other appropriate or necessary steps in order to fulfil the above activities; ______________________________________________________________________ Acquisition or disposition of assets 3. The Meeting approved the share acquisition in TBANK (post-restructuring of TCAP and TBANK (Restructuring)) from all TBANK existing shareholders who accept offer to purchase shares of TMB, which forms part of the Merger. TMB and two major shareholders of TBANK, namely TCAP and BNS, will enter into a share purchase agreement (the SPA). Under the SPA, TMB agrees to purchase 6,062,438,397 shares in TBANK (accounting for approximately 99.96% of the total issued and outstanding shares in TBANK) from the said major shareholders. In addition to the purchase of TBANK shares from the two major shareholders of as mentioned above, TMB will proceed to offer to purchase the remaining 2,423,773 shares (accounting for approximately 0.04% of the total issued and outstanding shares) from all other minority shareholders of TBANK. The purchase price of TBANK shares will be determined based on the following formula: Purchase price of TBANK shares = Book value of TBANKin accordance with consolidated financial statements Plus: Profits from the Restructuring Plus: Premium in an amount of THB 9,245 million Deduct: Book Value of Thanachart Broker Company Limited (TBROKE) in accordance with standalone financial statements Deduct: Book Value of Thanachart Fund Asset Management Company Limited (TFUND) in accordance with standalone financial statements Whereas financial information shall be derived from TBANK's consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2019 audited by the approved auditor of TBANK and TBANK's financial information prepared by TBANK's management in relation to its net profit from the end date of the aforesaid audited financial statements to 31 October 2019, and deducted by an adjustment to reflect the effects of provisions in relation to cash reserve as required by the Thai Financial Reporting Standards No. 9 Re: Financial Instruments (the TFRS No. 9) (if any). Under the SPA, there will be the price adjustment for TBANK shares after the Completion Date based on the financial information derived the audited financial statements of TBANK and in accordance with an agreed formula which takes into account (among other matters) the value of the TMB shares that TCAP and BNS subscribed for under the share sale and purchase agreement (per details in paragraph 8.3 below). For example, if the Completion Date takes place in December 2019, financial information shall be derived from TBANK's consolidated financial statements ended 30 November 2019 audited by the approved auditor, plus an average of the net profits per day from 1 January 2019 to 30 November 2019, multiplied by a number of calendar days beginning 1 December 2019 to the Completion Date. Before the Completion Date, TMB and TBANK will seek their respective board resolutions to declare the initial purchase price for this transaction on the SET website. The purchase price will be settled by cash or a cash equivalent The Meeting took the view that the purchase price of TBANK shares is reasonable because the Merger would significantly enhance the scale of the Merged Bank's business, making it one of the leading banking franchises in Thailand. The Merged Bank would have total assets of approximately THB 1.9 trillion baht and approximately 10 million retail customers, thereby ranking number six in the Thai commercial banking industry. However, the parties under the SPA shall discuss further on the share acquisition if (i) the Initial Offering Price is higher or lower by at least 15% of the purchase price, calculated from its audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 or (ii) the book value of TMB after the issuance and offering of shares in reserve for exercise of the transferable subscription rights (TSRs) and to the private placement investor(s), calculated from its audited consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2019 and the financial information prepared by TMB's management in relation to its net profit from the end date of its latest audited financial statements to 31 October 2019, is higher or lower by at least 15% of the book value taking into account the issuance and offering of new shares in reserve for the exercise of TSRs and to private placement investor(s), calculated from its consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2018. In case the parties under the SPA are unable to agree within the period set out in the SPA, the SPA will be terminated. As a result of the acquisition of shares in TBANK, two subsidiaries of TBANK (post-Restructuring) will also be transferred to TMB, namely: TBANK's subsidiary - TBROKE TBANK's equity interest in its subsidiary (in percentage) 100.00% - TFUND TBANK's equity interest in its subsidiary (in percentage) 75.00% In relation to TFUND, it is agreed under the SPA that TBANK's equity interest of 75.00% in TFUND will be divested to a third party. It is also anticipated that TBANK will be able to complete the divestment of TFUND before or on the completion of the share acquisition under the SPA. However, if TBANK fails to do so before or on the due date referred to above, TMB intends to further divest TFUND to a third party after it becomes a shareholder of TBANK. With respect to TBROKE shares, as of the date of this document, the counterparties do not have an intention to divest TBROKE shares to a third party. Following the share acquisition in TBANK is completed, TMB will proceed to accept the Entire Business Transfer from TBANK. ______________________________________________________________________ This announcement was prepared and disseminated by listed company or issuer through the electronic system which is provided for the purpose of dissemination of the information and related documents of listed company or issuer to the Stock Exchange of Thailand only.
