In 2010, The Company increased water management capacity in many aspect to support the water demand expansion within the Company servicing as follows:

1. Enhancement of Water Resources Efficiency The Company had studied and revised the plan for water resource development and principles for pipeline system improvement in the Eastern area in order to revise the plan for water resource development and water pipeline system to serve the demand in the next 10 years. The studies are expected to be completed in 2011. In addition, the Company had proceeded the construction project of reserved raw water pond Mab Kha 2 to increase stability of the system and water pumping. The reserved water will be used for emergency such as outage. The water can be continuously pumped. Also, it helps with the energy cost management of water pumping. The construction is expected to be completed in 2011.

2. Enhancement of Water Pipeline System The Company had improved the main water pipeline system in Cholburi and Rayong Provinces to increase capability of the main pipeline in terms of pumping ability and

6 6/30

pumping system management. The improvement consisted of the construction of separated pipelining for raw water of Bang La Moong Water Filter (New), construction of Booster Pump in Nong Khao Reservoir, improvement of 2 stations of Map Ta Phut Water Pumping Stations which serve the increase of water utilization of no less than 22 million cubic meters. Also, the pipelining construction of the 3rd Nong Pla Lai – Map Ta Phut, constructed in the late 2009 with the progression of 65% and expected to be completed in the late 2011, after its completion, it can serve the expansion of water utilization from consumption and industry in the areas of Map Ta Phut – Sattahip of no less than 105 million cubic meters.

3. Enhancement of Water Management Capability The Company had developed the Control Center System of the water pumping which is located in Map Ta Phut. The Company’s SCADA was enhanced to be standardized, up-to-date Central Control with the utmost efficiency. The data base management system is stored at the control center. Also, the control system of the Company was improved to serve the centralization of Rayong Operation Center and Chachoengsao-Cholburi Operation Center to be one operation center. As a result, parties related with the Company and customers can easily access to the information. The Control Center construction is expected to reach its completion in 2011.

4. Business Development : With experience of eastern water management and tap water operation with various technologies, the Company has tried to expand its opportunity in water business investment from its expertise to other areas, including studying new technologies to develop other areas of water business such as water production for waste water management service industry and waste water recycle, etc. This will lead to a complete water business operation of the Company. In addition, the Company has studied for more opportunity to expand its investment to alternative energy to increase its revenue apart from its main revenue from water business as well as to enhance its role of environmental preservation. This also includes oversea investment in China, India, and ASEAN countries, and other potential countries for water business and alternative energy to increase investment expansion.

CSR activity In 2010, there were projects as follows: Water and Environment The Company has provided several forms of clean drinking water - Reversed Osmosis (RO) drinking water machine, RO mobile unit, bottled/ cupped drinking water – for people’s consumption of clean drinking water. The service has been continuously performed with increasing numbers of people to receive the service. In 2010, there were many flood affected areas, the Company sent drinking water mobile units to help flood affected areas in the provinces of Ayuddhaya, Nakorn Rachasrima, and Songkla, as well as supported government agencies and private sectors with bottled- cupped water. Development of Quality of Life and Environment Project

the Company initiated the project of ‚Reduce expenses, Increase Income, Follow Economic Sufficiency‛ by humbly applying the Royal initiation of ‚Sufficient Economy‛ with the present economic situation for better quality of life of the people. The Housewife group is trained to make their own products and use them to reduce purchasing and household expenditure, or to make new products and learn food preservation methods,

leading to new careers as alternative household income. Moreover the Canal dredging, to clean the canal, eliminate weed, leading to full efficiency of water consumption from the source. Mr. Khongphat Thana-udomsuk inquired about the reason of and the return from the investment in China and India and recommended the Company to provide a scholarship from Baht 15,000 to each school to Baht 100,000 to each school. Mr. Praphant Asava-aree, the President, informed that the Company is under the process to study on investments but currently has not yet made any investments as well as the investment in China or India. The Company is mainly considering on the suitability of the investment in China and India. With respect to the scholarship, the Company had proceeded with this matter in all over 3 provinces under the operation area; therefore, the sum of Baht 100,000 for each school is considered quite high. However, he would take such recommendation into consideration further. Mr. Sathaphon Phangniran suggested that there should be a consideration to verify the minutes of the meeting instead of simply acknowledging it in order for the shareholders to verify and amend the minutes. However, he agreed with the management team that this agenda is for acknowledgement and a resolution is not required. He further appreciated the Company’s operational result whereby there appeared a sustained growth during the last 2-3 years. Nevertheless, after comparing the profit per share appeared in page 69 of the annual report, which amounted to Baht 0.55, with the par value of Baht 1 per share, it appeared that the Company had yet operated its business at its full capability. He noted from the debt per cost ratio at 0.44 that the Company operates its business too defensively or aims to protect from any losses too much. The Company should invest more in the projects that can generate revenues to the Company. As per the Company’s capability, he viewed that financial institutions should be pleased to provide a support to the Company. He further remarked the excess of par value which is at a high amount when comparing with the registered capital. Therefore, should the Company made the investment with better returns, the share price in the stock market would increase as well. The Board of Directors should consider driving investments towards the projects that can generate higher returns to the Company and the shareholders. The Chairman informed that from year 2007, the debt per cost has been less than 1. The Board of Directors also realized on such issue and assigned the management to conduct a study on investment projects in order to provide benefits to the shareholders. The President informed further that, in year 2007, he was elected to be the President and during such period the Company encountered the deficit incurred from a subsidiary. He then focused and resolved such problem. Later, in year 2009 – 2010, the Company’s operation encountered the domestic economic crisis. Therefore, he viewed that the debt per cost should not more than 1. As a result of the unstable economic situation, the Company’s operation was under a conservative practice. Such ratio of debt per cost was beneficial to the Company’s finance costs by obtaining the finances from low-level funding sources. However, the Company would study on the investment projects which will be beneficial to the shareholders.

Mr.Jonathan Chi. Representative of Utilico Emerging Markets who hold 169 million shares representing roughly 10% of the share capital of Eastern Water Resources which have been invested in East Water since 2006.. He is obviously pleased that the share price has gone from 4.50 Baht at last year’s AGM to over 6 Baht today. He had also thank to the Board for deciding to increase the dividend per share from last year, and he look forward to continued improvement and higher dividends in years to come. However, he believes that one issue that has the potential to weigh on future growth is the ongoing discount provided to the PWA. Utilico fully supported this discount when it was granted as a temporary measure at a time of great economic uncertainty. However, with strong economic growth in 2010 and expected in 2011, which believe that the PWA should be in a better position now to pay the full, undiscounted tariff. Furthermore, we are concerned that by the end of 2011, this tariff will have been frozen for three years in what is an inflationary environment. Based on 2010 figures, if the discount were removed, it would increase pre-tax net profit by around 3%. Over three years, the Company would have forgone significant additional revenue, and experience a lower share price than would otherwise be the case. Continuing to maintain the discounted tariff has the potential to negatively impact the future development of Eastern Water. The discount diminishes returns on capital and financing ability, and limits the Company’s ability to invest in new projects and developing its network. Removing the discount would enable the Company to pay a higher dividend, which would also benefit the PWA as a shareholder. A higher dividend would result in a higher valuation of the company, again, benefiting the PWA. It also highlights a corporate governance concern, where the Company could be seen to be transferring value to its largest shareholder, and prejudicing minority shareholders. Two proposals for the Board to consider. Firstly, the Company looks to adopt a formal tariff setting mechanism that fully accounts for the capital base and also for inflation. Rebasing of the capital base should occur at least every three years, and adjustments for inflation should be done annually. This tariff mechanism should set out tariffs for three year periods so that there is clarity for Shareholders, the Company as well as customers. Finally, the recommend that the Board disclose its plan to reduce and eliminate the increasingly unjustifiable discounted tariff as soon as possible. Mr. Hangchai Akawatkul thanked to the representative of Utilico Emerging Market who presented the information about a crude oil price. He had the same opinion on the reduction for PWA as stated earlier and further informed about the necessity in arranging for reserve water storage in the future in order to avoid the issue on water shortage for industrial estates as appeared in the news previously. Should the Company was able to prevent a water shortage problem, it would benefit to overall area. Mr. Kiat Sumongkhonthanakul, a shareholder, asked about the progress on the protest for the compensation for damage of the water reservoir as appeared in the news from television. The President thanked to the shareholders and informed that the Company would consider further on the shareholders’ suggestions about the reduction in a water price rate and informed that the water reservoir which is damaged as appeared in the news belongs to other enterpriser having the project located in Wangchan

9 9/30

District, Rayong Province and it does not belong to the Company. With regard to the plan on generating revenue in replacement of the reduction in a water price rate, he emphasized that the Company can still maintain its net profit ratio to be similar to that in the past. Since the Company, in addition, operates the business in relation to a public utility, the Board of Directors is required to carefully consider on any impacts incurred as a result of such seeking of new revenue sources to replace the reduced rate. As from the survey of the demand in customers’ water volume, it is found that the demand in water increases. In this connection, the Company has prepared to provide a reserve water resource to meet the demand. The investment for seeking a reserve water resource needs a high amount of money and a study on environmental evaluation. In year 2011, the Company consulted with all customers to plan for the investment budget that responds to the customers’ demand in water in the future. With respect to generating the incomes from the Company’s real estate properties, the Company has planned to seek for a reserve water resource; therefore, commencing a reserve water pool project at Mabkha District with an area of 90 Rais. The Company received a return from office buildings for rent in an amount of 5-6 percent of the investment amount. Nevertheless, in order to efficiently manage real estate properties, the Company is under the process to study on the placement of assets into a mutual property fund by taking into consideration the utmost benefits to the shareholders.

Resolution The Meeting resolved to approve the consider the Board of Directors’ report on the 2010 Company’s Performance with the following votes:

approval 1,413,293,701 votes, or 99.6096 % disapproval 0 votes, or 0.0000% abstention 5,538,325 votes, or 0.3903%

As shareholders registered after meeting started, therefore voting is increased since the fourth agenda.

Agenda 4: To consider and approve the Balance Sheet and Income Statement for the year ended (1st January – 31st December 2010.)

The President & CEO presented that the balance sheet and the income statement of 2010 (from January 1 – December 31, 2010) of the Company of which had already been examined by the Audit Committee and the Auditors. The Company had already submitted the information to the SET on February 14, 2011 and be stimulated on ‚Financial Statement‛ of Annual Report 2010 and can be summarized as follows:

Mr. Thanaprasert Phamonphairot inquired about the reason of the difference in the numbers of revenues from sale of unboiled water, revenues from sale of plumbing water and costs of rent and service appeared in page 69 under the profit and loss statement of the annual report and those appeared in clause 29.1 of the notes to financial statement in pages 112-113 of the annual report. He also suggested separating clauses under clauses 29.1-29.4 and that the numbers appeared in the profit and loss statement is the same as those appeared in the notes to financial statement as well as the numbers be presented separately for each item. For example, in clause 29.1, he suggested presenting the revenue from sale of unboiled water of Baht 2,117.50 million or in clause 29.2, he suggested presenting the revenue from sale of plumbing water. Sources of revenue from sales of unboiled water and plumbing water should be specified in the notes to financial statement. It is uncertain, for example, whether the number of Baht 767.88 million of the Estate Authority of Thailand under the notes to financial statement, page 112, represented revenues or the number of shares. Should items are separately classified, the sources of revenue would be more clear. Mr. Namsak Wannawisut informed that according to the accounting standards, the Company is required to disclose the information relating to its related persons or businesses. Therefore, in clause 29.1 of the notes to financial statement, the revenue from sale of unboiled water is from three shareholders of the Company, namely, the Estate Authority of Thailand, Provincial Waterworks Authority and Electricity Generating Public Company Limited. In addition, the Company disclosed the revenues from its subsidiary, namely, Universal Utilities Co., Ltd. and other related companies, namely, Rayong Electricity Generating Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited. He would take the suggestions from the shareholders into consideration in order to disclose each item of the revenues from related parties in the notes to financial statement clearly and in accordance with the accounting standards.

PWC and the proposed auditors do not have any interest or relationship with the Company, its subsidiaries, the Management, major shareholders, or other related parties in a way that will affect their independence in discharging their duties. In addition, the non-audit fee paid to the office of the auditors and other related parties of the auditors’ office is significant and should not affect their independent judgments in reviewing the financial statements. Mr. Sathaphon Phangniran expressed his admiration on the work conducted by the Audit Committee, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the auditors of the Company which was able to manage an internal control so that reducing the Company’s expense on audit fees. This should be a good example to other listed companies whereby the Company did not put a burden of audit fees on its shareholders. Mostly, audit fees increase every year. Although, there were changes in accounting standards applied to the Company’s financial statements, resulting in the increase of audit fees, the committed work hours were less. Mr. Suphot Uea-chailoetkul thanked to PWC who acts as an auditor of the Company and he hoped that the audit fees would not increase next year. Mr. Wichian Kingmontri, an auditor from PricewaterhouseCooper ABAS Co., Ltd. explained that since the auditing in year 2011 is the second year, the experience is cumulative from the last year; therefore, reducing in work durat ions.

In this case, when the Company ventures into water business, business development and co-investment with alliances, including expanding the alternative energy business; it is necessary to add the Objectives of the Company to ensure that the business and associated businesses are conducted according to the vision, mission and strategies of the Company. Since the Company has been informed by the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA), holding shares in the Company of 40.20 percent, that the amendment in three items of the objectives of the Company, i.e., item 30: contractor for power plants, buildings and constructions or item 35: business operation relating to communication system or item 36: business operation relating to transportations and travels, is not related to the Company’s main business and water business, the Company, in the future, may increasingly operate or invest in the businesses other than its main business. The Chairman informed that the Company has distributed the invitations to the shareholders’ meeting, specifying the amendment in 12 items in the Company’s Memorandum of Association. Later, PWA has informed that such three items of the Company’s objectives stated above were outside the Company’s main business, aiming on water business. Since there are the rules related to the Provincial Waterworks Authority mentioning about such matter, he would like to ask the representative of PWA to explain.

13 13/30

Mr. Wichian Udomrattanasin, the proxy of PWA, informed that the committee of PWA had considered on such amendment of 12 items of the objectives. Since items 30, 35 or 36 of the objectives are not related to a water business and if the Company invests in the businesses other than a water business, the shareholders who largely invest in the Company would expose to risks. In principle, he supported the amendment in only 9 items and disagreed with items 30, 35 or 36. Since he was authorized by PWA to vote on this matter, he would like to inform that should the Company would operate its business in line with items 30, 35 or 36, he would approve the amendment with condition. The procedures in convening the meeting depend on the opinions of the shareholders’ meeting. His statement was made in accordance with the document submitted to the Company. The Chairman informed that, pursuant to agenda item no. 6, it required the consideration on the amendment of 12 items of the Memorandum of Association. With regard to the objectives, item 30: contractor for power plants and buildings, item 35: business operation regarding communications and item 36: business operation regarding transportations, the committee of PWA did not disagree to amend the Memorandum of Association but agreed with conditions; otherwise, voting otherwise. Such three items of the objectives mentioned earlier might be considered by other shareholders to be the businesses so irrelevant to a water business. Nevertheless, the major shareholder had a disagreement today. He asked the representative of PWA if there was any further opinion. The representative of PWA informed that PWA deemed it’s appropriate that the objectives included 9 items, not 12 items. Since the distributed invitations to the meeting specified all 12 items and requested for affirmative or non-affirmative resolution, if he would approve all 12 items, the condition must be specified that the investments per items 30, 35 or 36, must be pre-considered by the committee of PWA in order to check if there would be any risks from entering into such businesses or not. Mr. Thanaprasert Phamonphairot suggested about the business expansion that the investment should be made on the businesses in expertise. He agreed with the business expansion in items 27-29 and viewed that items 30-37 should be all deleted since they are irrelevant to the water business, for example, power plants which require a large amount of investments and engineering business. Mr. Sathaphon Phangniran asked whether it was a conflict or not in the case that a director who is the representative of PWA participates in the Board of Directors’ meeting to consider on the amendment of the objectives to be proposed to the shareholders’ meeting and asked about the reason for requesting to add the condition which were informed after the invitations for the shareholders’ meeting have already been distributed. He further added his opinion that there is a cost for the amendment of objectives and the amendment would enable the Company to be flexibility in operating the business in the future due to its capability to conduct various types of business and the Company can operate the business without obtaining a shareholders’ approval on the amendment of the objectives again. With respect to certain business, such as an atomic power plant, which may not be related to the main business of the Company, the Company has not yet operated such kind of business in a short time per stipulated in the objectives because it is considered a large project which requires to be proposed to the shareholders’ meeting again. Referring to the amendment of the objectives with the condition proposed by PWA, he opined that the Board of Directors had considered on such matter. The Board of Directors had invited the shareholders to this meeting. Although the shareholder disagreed on certain matters, he believed that the Board of Directors had carefully reviewed on the matter. The Company might not be able to proceed with certain matters because certain procedures are still required prior to proceeding with such matters. In addition,

14 14/30

should the Company decided to proceed with the matter, other committees would take a consideration on it, such as, the Risk Committee. He then opined that this agenda item should be approved without conditions. Mr. Wichian Udomrattanasin, the proxy of PWA, informed that there is one director who is a representative of PWA whereas PWA gave such director an honor to participate in the Company’s Board of Directors’ meeting prior to the internal meeting in PWA. Since there would be the amendment of 12 items in the objectives of the Company, he proposed the amendment to the committee of PWA for consideration because the company, the shares of which are held by PWA, is going to change the objectives of the company. The committee of PWA had considered that three businesses under the objectives i.e., business items 30, 35 or 36 are not relevant to the main business of the Company. Since the Company had already distributed the invitations to the shareholders and it is unable to vote on just 9 items of the total proposed items because the proxy specified only to vote or not vote for the amendment of 12 items in the objectives, the committee of PWA considered that its proposal did not conflict with the amendment of 12 items. The committee asked to add the condition that should the Company would engage in the business specified in items 30, 35 or 36, the Company must propose such matter to the committee of PWA for prior approval. It did not constitute a conflict at all. Each party only just performed the related duties. Mr. Suphot Uea-chailoetkul viewed that referring from his participation in the shareholders’ meetings of many listed companies, for example, the listed company which is a financial institution engaging in providing credit lines to retail customers and the shares of which are held by foreigners, had requested for approval to amend the objectives so as to allow the Company to build a school. After discussed in the meeting, it appeared that such listed company only required engaging in training for the employees in its company group but the training could not be conducted as long as the training is not provided so in the objective. Such listed company confirmed with the shareholders’ meeting that it would proceed with the proposed business for training propose only and would not conduct any business outside the scope. He furthered that, from his experience in participating in shareholders’ meetings, certain proposed activities, the sizes of which when comparing with the assets of companies, require a large amount of investments, are required to be proposed to shareholders’ meetings for approval. In addition, if considering the operational results conducted by the Board of Directors and the management team, he was confident that the proposed amendment of the objectives was for purpose of flexibility only and the Company had not yet set its goal to invest in the concerned business. He, therefore, agreed to the amendment of all 12 items of the objectives. Mr. Hangchai Akawatkul thanked to the proxy of PWA for his expression of the opinions. The proposal about the approval with condition proposed by PWA was not unable to be approved. He realized the cooperation between the Company and PWA. However, due to the timeframe for proposing to the committee of PWA, the submitted invitations to the shareholders and that there might be an emergency case to proceed with any operations but restricted by the process to obtain an approval to amend the objectives from a shareholders’ meeting , the amendment on the objectives should be made for a flexibility purpose. The proposed condition could be included in the approval without amending the detail in the proposed agenda. The Chairman informed that since there was one shareholder proposing to delete items 30-37 of the objectives and maintain items 27-29 and there was the shareholder requesting to approve all 12 items of the objectives per proposed in this agenda item with the condition as proposed by PWA. He then asked the shareholder who proposed to delete items

15 15/30

30-37 of the objectives if he agreed or disagreed to amend clause 3 of the Memorandum of Association by adding 12 items of the objectives with the condition proposed by PWA or not. The shareholder agreed and there was no other shareholders disagreed. The Chairman summarized that now there was only one issue pending and asked the meeting to approve the amendment of clause 3 of the Memorandum of Association by adding 12 items of the objectives with the condition that should the management would proceed with the business or make the investment in the businesses concerning items 30, 35 or 36, the Company must obtain a prior approval from the committee of PWA. The Chairman then asked Mr. Wichian Udomrattanasin, the proxy of PWA, if he stated correctly and Mr. Wichian said it was correct. Mrs. Wannipha Ruamrangsi, a legal counsel of PricewaterhouseCooper (PWC), a legal and tax counsel company, stated that since the detail in the agenda proposed to the shareholders was to amend 12 items of the objectives without conditions and the shareholder in the meeting proposed to include the condition, the shareholders’ meeting was required to approve the proposed change in the detail of agenda item with the votes of not less than 1/3 of the shareholders presented in the meeting. After the meeting agreed with the addition of the condition, the proposed amendment of the objectives than could be resolved by the shareholders’ meeting with the votes of not less than 3/4 of total votes of the shareholders who attended and were entitled to vote. Mr. Sathaphon Phangniran informed that since the invitation to the shareholders ‘meeting was dated on 3 March 2011 and the Board of Directors’ meeting resolved this matter on 14 February 2011, he would like to ask, in the meeting of PWA which was held before 3 March 2011, if the committee of PWA requested to add such condition or not. He further opined that the amendment of the objectives is the matter of the shareholders overall while such proposed condition should be an internal matter. In addition, as he is a shareholder of a public company limited, he viewed that the proposal to add such condition was to please the major shareholder. PWA, as a governmental body, must act or supervise on government interests. However, it is not appropriate that the Company acts as a division in PWA. Therefore, he disagreed with allowing the shareholders to acknowledge on such condition. He disagreed that the condition would be registered with the Ministry of Commerce and the objectives including the condition would appear in public. Mrs. Wannipha Ruamrangsi, a legal counsel of PWC, informed that the amendment of 12 items of the objectives could be registered with the Ministry of Commerce. Should the shareholders’ meeting approves with specifying in the minutes of the meeting that if the Company would operate the business under three items in concern, the Company must obtain a prior approval from the committee of PWA, which is considered an internal management, the amendment of 12 items of the objectives would be applicable per the shareholders’ approval. Mr. Wichian Udomrattanasin, the proxy of PWA informed that the committee of PWA agreed with the legal counsel saying that normally the registration for change in Memorandum of Association with conditions is not allowed. PWA did not disagree with the amendment of all 12 items of the objectives and did not offer to register the amendment with the Ministry of Commerce with conditions but PWA requested to record the proposed condition in the minutes of the meeting. Ms. Maliwan Triyattham, the proxy of Ms. Malini wet-urai, suggested in general that she had experienced registering with the Ministry of Commerce whereby the amendment of objectives might be specified in a broad term. If the

16 16/30

Company, in the future, considers that it is capable to operate the business in concern with a profit, the Company could propose to the shareholders’ meeting to approve the entering into such business again. Mr. Somkiat Sariphattanna asked whether the amendment in the agenda item informed by PWC was applicable and was allowed by the Articles of Association and requested that the resolution on the revised matter must be clearly informed to the shareholders. The Chairman summarized that, under this agenda, it was proposed to add 12 items of the objectives from 25 items to 37 items in total with the remark for items 30, 35 or 36 in the minutes of the meeting that should the Company would operate the businesses under such three items, the Company must obtain a prior approval from PWA. He furthered that the Company took into consideration the benefits of all shareholders, especially those of minority shareholders. The Company had supported the minority shareholders’ rights as required by the SET. Mr. Anuphot Phanaphon-sirikul, the proxy of Thai Investors Association, requested PWA to explain the reason to include the condition in the approval and the necessity to amend such three items, including asked which issues are subject to obtain an approval from the committee of PWA. This was to clarify to the shareholders so that they fully acknowledged on this issue prior to giving their resolution. For example, whether a canal excavation and bridge construction is defined as a dam construction under item 30, whether a water distribution or a water distribution through water pipe-lines is defined as transportation under item 36 and are subject to PWA’s approval. Mr. Wichian Udomrattanasin, the proxy of the PWA informed that the businesses under items 30, 35 and 36 of the objectives are not under the Company’s expertise such as a contractor for power plants or communication systems or transportations under item 30. Since the invitations had been distributed to the shareholders and the committee of PWA had a meeting on 9 March 2011, the opponent with all proposed items of the objectives specified in the proxy form would affect other proposed 9 items of the objectives. In addition, it was impossible for PWA to approve only proposed 9 items since the invitations stated to all shareholders that the resolution was asking for the approval for all proposed 12 items of the objectives and PWA could not approve on certain items. Taking into consideration all reasons above, the meeting of the PWA’s committee considered to approve such 12 items with the condition to be specified in the minutes of the meeting. The President viewed that the management’s offer was to register with the Ministry of Commerce in a broad way to facilitate the operations whereby other listed companies comply with this practice. The Company had not invested in all business specified in the objectives. However, all opinions were beneficial to the Company, including those from PWA as we may see that in the past the Company invested in the business without expertise. So he understood how the major shareholder feels worry about this. With respect to the objectives about a contractor for constructions of communication or transportation businesses, the Company had no intension to operate or invest in such businesses. Should the Company would operate in those businesses, PWA would disagree on the operation. Should the Company would invest in these businesses to support the Company’s main business, e.g., SCADA system or transportation through pipe-line, PWA would not disagree on this. Therefore, PWA did not disagree with the amendment of 12 items of the objectives but PWA requested to record in the minutes of the meeting that in the case that the Company intends to operate such three businesses, the Company must obtain a prior approval from the PWA’s committee. He viewed that the condition proposed by PWA was beneficial to the shareholders whereby prior to conducting the businesses or investing in such

17 17/30

businesses, not only the Board of Directors of the Company would carefully review the appropriateness of the investment, the major shareholder also would emphasize on the importance of such investment. Mr. Thanaprasert Phamonphairot inquired about the expenses for the registration of the amendment in a Memorandum of Association with the Ministry of Commerce and inquired that whether in the case that the Company would operate the business under 12 items of the objectives, the Company would be required to obtain an approval from the shareholders’ meeting or the Board of Directors is entitled to operate such businesses without the prior approval. The President informed that the registration cost was not in a significant amount but the expenses for convening a shareholders’ meeting to approve the amendment of the objectives are higher. He furthered that if the Company would invest in the businesses under items 30, 35 or 36 of the objectives, the matter must be proposed to the PWA’s committee prior to make the investment. With respect to the matters other than such 3 items of the objectives, the Board of Directors could consider to approve on the investment or business operation, except that in the case that the sizes of transactions are subject to the requirements of the notification of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the notification of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the Company must propose such matters to the shareholders’ meeting to consider for approval. For the activities deemed to not be under the Company’s expertise or in which the Company is not ready to operate, the Company would carefully consider on such activities by taking into consideration the interests of all shareholders prior to deciding to make an investment. Items 26-29 are considered to be primary businesses and the businesses under other items of the objectives are stipulated so as to make the objectives covering all over areas. The Company did not intend to conduct on such business in the near future. Resolution The meeting, by more than three-fourth of the total number of votes of the Shareholders attending the

meeting and having the right to vote, approved the Amendment to Clause 3 of the Company’s Memorandum of Association with regard to the addition of 12 Objectives, making a total of 37 Objectives, with the voting comprising approval 1,401,851,702 votes, or 98.8032% disapproval 8,818,279 votes, or 0.6215 % abstention 8,162,045 votes, or 0.5752%

Agenda 7 To consider the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Association Article 40 (1)

The President & CEO addressed that The Company’s Articles of Association Article 40(1) states to

consider the report of the Board of Directors. The shareholders proposed that this issue is an acknowledgement and thus not required to vote. From studying the companies registered in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), the majority states that this is an acknowledgement of the companies’ operation in the past year .The details of the amendment as follows:

18 18/30

Articles of Association (Current) Proposed Amendment to Article 40 (1) No. 40 The purpose of Annual General Meeting if as follows:

(1) Consider the report of the Board of Directors regarding the business operations of the Company in the past year.

(2) Consider and approve the Balance Sheets. (3) Consider and allocate profits. (4) Vote directors to replace those resigned at the

end of the term. (5) Nominate auditor. (6) Others.

No. 40 The purpose of Annual General Meeting if as follows:

(1) Acknowledge the report of the Board of Directors regarding the business operat ions of the Company in the past year.

(2) Consider and approve the Balance Sheets. (3) Consider and allocate profits. (4) Vote directors to replace those resigned at the

end of the term. (5) Nominate auditor. (6) Others.

Mr. Sathaphon Phangniran remarked that since the current Articles of Association does not specify, for example, a verification of the minutes of the meeting, an approval on directors’ remunerations and an approval on auditors’ remunerations, these matters should be completely added into the objectives and the shareholders’ meeting should also approve them in this meeting. Mrs. Namphon Rassadanukul Senior Vice President Department of CEO Office & Corporate Secretary stated that, in agenda item 2 regarding verification of the minutes of the shareholders’ meeting, the Company had asked the Ministry of Commerce and it appeared that the Company could request for verification for this agenda item. With respect to the approval on directors’ remunerations and auditors’ remunerations, the Company had specified these matters in the Articles of Association. In addition, the Public Limited Company Act, B.E. 2535 also requires that such matters be approved by an annual general shareholders’ meeting. The Company, therefore, had fulfilled the requirements under its Articles of Associations and the Public Limited Company Act. Resolution The meeting, by more than three-fourth of the total number of votes of the Shareholders attending the

meeting and having the right to vote, approved this agenda with the voting comprising approval 1,413,293,661 votes, or 99.6096 % disapproval 20 votes, or 0.0000 % abstention 5,538,345 votes, or 0.3903 %

Mr. Sathaphon Phangniran informed that since the terms in the Company’s loan agreements with financial institutions require the Company to maintain its debts per shareholders’ equity ratio to no more than 2, he asked to record in the minutes of the shareholders’ meeting that the Board of Directors of the Company or the persons authorized by the Board of Directors would supervise on the issuance of debentures so as to control the debt per shareholders’ equity not to higher than the ratio specified in the loan agreements. Mr. Hangchai Akawatkul thanked to the proxy of PWA who facilitated the resolution on the amendment of the Company’s objectives and further opined that he would like the issuance of the debentures made in Baht currency and limited to domestic area in order to create a revolving in the country because there were many companies issuing their debentures in a dollar currency and subsequently subject to dollar fluctuations. In addition, Mr. Hangchai recommended the Company to make a dividend payment quarterly since the Company is capable to operate its business and incur low finance costs i.e., costs of loaning money. He agreed with the issuance of the debentures because there might be any unexpected circumstances occur in the future. Mr. Thanaprasert Phamonphairot suggested that if the Company would issue debentures, it should be clearly specified in the prospectus that the debentures would be in Baht currency. The Chairman informed that the Company would further take into consideration on the mater regarding the dividend payment and stated that under the requirement for the information specified in the prospectus, the currency must be stated. Resolution The meeting, by more than three-fourth of the total number of votes of the Shareholders attending the

However, the Company has a dividend payment policy to shareholders of no less than 30% of the net profit of the consolidated financial statement after the deduction of the lawful reserve of each year as well as the Company’s agreement of necessity and suitability. The Executive and Investment had considered and passed a resolution to propose to the Board of Directors for further consideration before proposing to the AGM consider and approve as follows:

1.

22 22/30

Mr. Chatri Charoennueang suggested that the interim dividend payments, later on, should be more than Baht 0.13. He gave an example that in the shareholders’ meetings of many companies; he also suggested about the increase rate of dividend payments and after such companies had taken his suggestion into their consideration and applied the suggestion, their share prices increased and their shareholders used their dividend payments as the investments in those companies’ shares. However, he disagreed with making the dividend payments quarterly because there would incur an expense on the distribution of documents. The Company might pay an interim dividend payment for the second half of the year in the amount less than the amount suggested by him but if the Company had a good operational results, it may consider paying more. Mr. Thanaprasert Phamonphairot suggested that the Board of Directors assess the situations in the latter half of the year in advance and should it appeared that the Company would earn high profits, the interim dividend payment than could be made in a high rate. In the case that there appears an uncertain condition, the Company would encounter risks thereafter. Resolution: The meeting approved the dividend payment for the second-half-year operations of 2010 at the

rate of 0.25 Baht per share and acknowledged the interim dividend for the first-half-year operations of 2010 was 0.13 Baht per share from retained earning profit (The interim dividend was paid on 21st September 2010); therefore, in 2010, the dividend payment will be equivalent to 0.38 Baht per share and determined the date to list shareholders who are entitled to receive dividend on 30th March 2011, and list shareholders’ names according to Section 225 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

Agenda 10. To appoint new directors in replacement of those who are due to retire by rotation.

President and CEO informed that according to the Article 17 of the Company’s Articles of Association, at the Annual General Shareholder’s Meeting, 1/3 of Directors have to retire by rotation. 4 directors retiring by rotation are:

Mr. Narong Boonkrong noted that the remuneration of the directors has been stable for a long time and when considering the Company’s operational results, the Board of Directors has performed their duties well. The Company had a profit and the dividend payment to the shareholders amounted to 69 percent of the net profit. He was unsure what the ratio of the directors’ bonus per the net profit would be. The Company may consider on this ratio and increase the directors’ remuneration to be suitable with such ratio for the next year. Mr. Chatri Charoennueang agreed with the shareholder’s suggestion and, therefore, deemed it is appropriate to increase the remuneration 10 percent and that the remuneration should be in proportion to prof it or dividend payment’s ratios. He proposed to adjust the remuneration for this year in order to support the directors’ dedication of their time to the Company. The Chairman thanked to the shareholder in suggesting to increase directors’ remuneration and further informed that although the Company’s profit increased, the directors’ remuneration was not in line with the dividend payment’s proportion to the shareholders.
