The following seven senior executives were present at the meeting:
The Chairperson of the Meeting thanked shareholders who attended the Extraordinary
General Meeting of Shareholders before informing the meeting that 33 shareholders who
together held 65,949,961 shares, which accounted for 99.1729 percent of the Company’s
total shares offered, had attended the meeting either by themselves or by proxy. This thus
formed a quorum as prescribed by the Company’s Articles of Association. The Chairperson
of the Meeting thereby announced the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
(EGM) No. 2/2562 opened.
The meeting started at 9.00 a.m.
The Chairperson of the Meeting introduced directors and senior executives present at the
meeting before entrusting the Secretary of the Meeting (Ms. Angkana Tepprasertwangsa) to
explain voting procedures in each agenda, which would be regarded as voting rules for the
meeting. Their essence was as follows.
Clause 47 of the Articles of Association stipulated that making a final decision or
adopting the meeting's resolution was to be done by voting. Regardless how the voting
was carried out, one share shall always be equal to one vote.
When voting was carried out in each agenda, the Chairperson of the Meeting would ask if
any shareholder or a proxy might disagree or wish to abstain from voting in that agenda.
Shareholder or proxy wishing to do so shall raise hands to identify himself to staff, who
1. Mr. Lee Tse Tiong
Chief Financial Officer
2. Mr. Keilic Wong
Chief Actuarial Officer
3. Mr. Tuen Sean Chua Chief Transformation Officer and Acting Chief Strategy Office
4. Mr. Pongchai Koohachaiskun Executive Vice President,
Head of Life Insurance Administration Group
5. Mr. Sahapol Polpathapee
Executive Vice President,
Head of Agency Group
6. Mr. Kna Knekul
Executive Vice President, Head of SCB Business Group
7. Ms. Nuanpong Chotirat
Executive Vice President,
Head of Information Technology Group

would pick up his/her voting slip to record a vote. Shareholders or proxies who did not
raise hands to present themselves or who did not submit a voting slip would be
considered voting for the agenda.
If a shareholder had authorized a proxy to attend the Meeting on his/her behalf and that
he/she did vote in a proxy form as required by the rules, the Company would no longer
distribute a voting slip for his/her proxy in a relevant agenda since the vote had duly
been recorded as expressed by the shareholder’s intent.
Vote counting of meeting agendas in the EGM was classified into two categories as
prescribed in the Public Limited Company Act, B.E 2535 (1992). Details were as follows.
1. Agendas that required majority votes of shareholders attending the meeting with
voting rights were Agenda 2 and 3. In this regard, the Company would compute
votes from shareholders with voting rights who had voted for or against the
agendas only. In other words, shareholders voting abstention would not have their
votes counted.
2. Agenda that required no less than three-fourths of all votes of shareholders
attending the meeting with voting rights was Agenda 1. In this regard, the Company
would compute votes from shareholders attending the meeting with voting rights,
who had voted for, against and who abstained from voting.
When all votes in each agenda were gathered, the Secretary of the Meeting would report
voting results to the meeting before proceeding to the next agenda.
A number of shareholders or proxies in each agenda may not be equal since additional
shareholders or proxies may join the meeting, or some may leave the meeting before it
ended. Shareholders or proxies leaving the Meeting before it ended were requested to
register their departure and return all remaining voting slips to staff at the registration
counter.
The meeting did not contain an agenda in which the meeting agendas would be
seconded, which was in compliance with the Company practices since 2015. The
Company had already attached the Minutes of the EGM No. 1/2562, which was the latest
meeting being held, with the notice to attend this Meeting.
The Chairperson of the Meeting requested the meeting to consider meeting agendas as
stated in the notice to attend this meeting as follows.

Agenda 1. To consider and approve the Company’s Articles of Association
The Chairperson of the Meeting asked the meeting to consider amending the Articles of
Association. Mr. Sathian Leowarin, Chief Executive Officer, was requested to present details
to the meeting, which could be summarized as follows.
The Company had sought and subsequently received approval from the Office of Insurance
Commission (OIC) to have a non-Thai person, namely, FWD Group Financial Services Pte.
Ltd. (a Singaporean national), together with a non-Thai person, to jointly hold up to 49% of
the Company’s total offered shares with voting rights. In addition, non-Thai persons
accounting for more than one-fourth but not exceeding half of the entire number of board
members were approved to be board directors.
As a result, the Company needed to amend Clause 18 of its Articles of Association to reflect
the OIC’s approval that allowed the Company to have non-Thai persons sit as board
directors for more than one-fourth but not exceeding half of its entire board members.
Details of the amendment were as follows.
Previously: “Clause 18. The Company may have a Board of Directors of which a number of
members will be as prescribed by the Shareholders’ Meeting but not fewer than five.
Directors may or may not be the Company’s shareholder. However, no fewer than three-
fourths of all directors must be Thai nationals. No fewer than half of all directors must have
a domicile in the Kingdom.”
Amending to: “Clause 18. The Company may have a Board of Directors of which a number of
members will be as prescribed by the Shareholders’ Meeting but not fewer than five.
Directors may or may not be the Company’s shareholder. The number of Thai national
directors will be at a ratio prescribed by the laws on life insurance. No fewer than half of all
directors must have a domicile in the Kingdom.”
The Chairperson of the Meeting proposed the meeting to approve the amendment of the
Articles of Association based on the proposed details.
The meeting resolved to approve the amendment with no less than three-fourths of all votes
of shareholders attending the meeting with voting rights. Details are as follows.
For totaling 65,964,292 votes accounting for 100.0000%
Against totaling 0 vote accounting for 0.0000%
Abstention totaling 0 vote accounting for 0.0000%

them as new directors:
1. Mr. Peter Karl Grimes Director
2. Mr. Damis Jacobus Ziengs Director
3. Mr. Pongchai Koohachaiskun Director

Upon the appointment of the new directors, the Company’s board directors would be as

2. Mr. Damis Jacobus Ziengs Director
3. Mr. Utid Tamwatin Director
4. Mr. Weerawong Chittmittrapap Director
5. Mr. Amornthip Chansrichawla Director
6. Mr. Pongchai Koohachaiskun Director

directors in this agenda would be made individually where each director would be voted
one by one. As soon as shareholders finished exercising their votes for all nominated
(Translation)

persons, shareholders who did not agree or who wished to abstain from voting may raise
their hands to identify themselves. Staff would then pick up all voting slips at once to record
votes cast for the appointment of each director.
The meeting resolved to approve the appointment of four new directors, which would
amend the number of board directors from 10 to 7. This shall become effective from the day
the Shareholder’s Meeting resolved to approve the matter with majority votes of

The Chairperson of the Meeting asked the meeting to approve the amendment of directors
with authority to bind the Company. Mr. Sathian Leowarin, Chief Executive Officer, was
requested to present details to the meeting, which could be summarized as follows.
To correspond with the amendment of directors in Agenda 2, and to comply with Clause 39
of the Articles of Association, which required two directors to jointly sign documents with a
binding effect, the Company needed to amend the names of board directors with authority
to bind the Company as follows:

Amending to: “Two out of the following four persons, namely, Mr. Peter Karl Grimes or Mr.
