9. Benefits the Company will get from the transaction


a. The transfer of all eight subsidiaries to Thanachart Bank Plc will create
a synergy within the group and better investment returns which should also
mean better returns to Thanachart Capital Plc, who, as Thanachart Bank's
shareholder, holds 99.36 per cent of its shares.


b. Thanachart Bank will become a funding source as its costs of fund will be
lower than that of Thanachart Capital Plc. The Bank is the commercial bank
which is eligible to raise funds toward on the public deposits and the issuing
bill of exchange which more liquidated and generated lower cost of funds.
Therefore, in case of subsidiaries would either increase capital or raise
funds in order to expand their businesses.


c. In case that the bank directly holds 75 percent of the paid-up shares of
the leasing company as the definition of the Bank of Thailand Regulatory.
The bank lends to the company without the limited amounts.


10. Expenditure plan
Money will be used as working capital within the Company.


11. Securities issued as payment for the asset
-None-


12. Approval from the Bank of Thailand
This transaction is classified as Type 2 (equivalent to 15 percent or higher
but lower than 50 percent) according to the SET's Notification. As a result,
Thanachart Capital Plc is required to prepare a report and disclose the
transaction to the SET where the report must contain, at a minimum, the
information as stated in Annex 1 attached thereto and where it must inform
shareholders within 21 days from the day the transaction is disclosed to the
Stock Exchange of Thailand without seeking any approval from shareholders.


In addition, the restructuring of the Thanachart Group by selling the shares
of its subsidiaries within the financial business group must be approved  by
the Bank of Thailand, who is currently considering the matter.


13. In case of the business, which the listed company has invested, is held
by a related person in the listed companies, who held 10 percent of all voting
rights and related to that business. Explain reasons that the listed company
did not hold all numbers of shares of such business in stead of the related
person. Identify the prevention measures against any conflicts of interest
that may incur in the future.


The transaction by Thanachart Capital Plc does not have such characteristic.


14. Board of Directors' opinion
Since Thanachart Capital Plc currently holds 99.36 percent in the Bank's
shares, as a result, the fact that the shares of eight subsidiary companies
to be sold to the Bank, is priced on the basis of their book value,
is considered appropriate. Besides, the transaction has benefits as already
described under Clause 9. Shareholders are therefore deemed appropriate to
approve the transaction.


15. Opinion of the Audit Committee and/or bank directors which may be different
from the abovementioned


No directors or members of the Audit Committee have any different opinion
from the above.


Yours sincerely,




Thanachart Capital Public Company Limited
