Dear Sir,
Subject: Addition declaration on acquisition of Thai Malaya Glass
Company Limited's shares from Malaya Glass Products Sdn., Bhd.
Reference: The Company's letter re: Reports on acquisition of Thai Malaya Glass
Company Limited's shares from Malaya Glass Products Sdn., Bhd.,
dated 29 July 2010.
With reference to the resolutions of the Board of Directors Meeting of Berli
Jucker Public Company Limited (the "Company") No. 6/2553 held on Thursday 29
July 2010 which approved the acquisition of the shares of Thai Malaya Glass
Company Limited ("TMG") from Malaya Glass Products Sdn., Bhd. ("Malaya Glass")
by considering this transaction as a connected transaction under
the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board No. Tor Jor. 21/2551
Re: Rules on Connected Transactions and the Notification of the Stock Exchange
of Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies
Concerning the Connected Transactions B.E. 2546 ("Rules on Connected
Transaction"). The Company therefore calculated the transaction size and duly
complied with the relevant rules and regulations under the aforementioned
Notifications as details per the above referred letter.
After the Company proceeding with the aforementioned compliance, the Company
still had some suspicious points in relation to the compliance with Rules on
Connected Transaction, the Company therefore consulted with the competent
governing authorities on such Rules and found that such transaction is
considered as the Connected Transaction subject to the exemption for
compliance with Rules on Connected Transaction. This is due to the connected
transaction made between the Company, the listed company and Malaya Glass, a
juristic person having controlling parties, nominated by BJC-OI Glass Pte.,
Ltd. ("BJC-OI"), its shareholder to take care of its business. Apart from
this, the Company or BJC-OI and Malaya Glass have no connection by other
means.
Accordingly, the Company would like to further clarify that the acquisition of
the shares of TMG from Malaya Glass is considered as the Connected Transaction
subject to the exemption. The Company is therefore not required to comply with
Rules on Connected Transaction.
Further, due to the matter that the Company has initially disclosed the
information to the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 16 July 2010 that the Company
intended to acquire TMG's shares in the number of not less than 70% of its
total issued and paid-up shares and then disclosed the resolutions of the
Board of Directors Meeting of the Company No. 6/2553 on Thursday 29 July 2010
that BJC International Company Limited would acquire TMG's shares in the
number of not less than 51% of its total issued and paid-up shares.The Company
would like to clarify that such percentage of shares to be purchased is only a
portion of the intended total. The remaining portion to be acquired is in
process of negotiation among contractual parties and relevant parties
concerned.
The Company will completely disclose the detailed information once the deal is
finalized.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Berli Jucker Public Company Limited
