In addition, as the directors who are also the Company or FWD Group’s employees have already received compensations from the Company or FWD Group in the form of salaries and other fringe benefits, the directors’ remuneration for the year 2019 will be payable only to those who are not the employee of the Company or FWD Group, with the effect from October 2019 onward.

The directors’ remuneration shall be payable for the year 2019 subject to the table below, which will be paid on a monthly basis or otherwise determined by the Company from time to time.

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

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%

Agenda 2: To consider and approve the amendment of a number of board directors

and the appointment of new directors

The Chairperson of the Meeting asked the meeting to approve the amendment of a number

of board directors, and to appoint new directors. In this regard, Mr. Sathian Leowarin, Chief

On September 6, 2019, the Company received resignation letters from seven directors,

namely, 1) Khunying Jada Wattanasiritham; 2) Mr. Anucha Laokwansatit; 3) Mr. Verachai

Tantikul; 4) Mr. Narong Srichukrin; 5) Mr. Jens Lottner; 6) Mr. Vitoon Pornsakulvanich; and

them as new directors:

1. Mr. Peter Karl Grimes Director

2. Mr. Damis Jacobus Ziengs Director

3. Mr. Pongchai Koohachaiskun Director

4. Mr. David John Korunic Director

These four new directors when combined with the three current independent directors

would reduce the number of board members from 10 to seven.

Profiles and work experiences of the four persons nominated as new directors had been

sent out to shareholders as an attachment to the notice to attend the meeting.

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

follows.

1. Mr. Peter Karl Grimes Director

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

7. Mr. David John Korunic Director

The Chairperson of the Meeting explained to the meeting that the voting to appoint new

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

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

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:

the meeting.

In the event that a shareholder wishes to appoint a proxy in general, such shareholder may

apply Proxy Form A. Should a shareholder be a foreign investor for which a custodian of the shares in

Thailand is appointed, such shareholder may download and use Proxy Form C available at

http://www.scblife.co.th

C) Vote Casting and Counting

1. Vote casting

and the proxies thereof in the meeting whether there is anyone who wish to cast

disapproval or abstention votes or not. If there is so, such person is requested to raise

their hands:

If there is any shareholder or proxy showing his/her hand for disapproval or

abstention votes, such shareholder or proxy must record or mark his/her votes

for disapproval or abstention votes in the ballots given to the shareholders

prior to attending the meeting room, and hand deliver such ballots to the

Company’s officer(s). Any shareholder or proxy who fails to deliver the

- 18 -

ballots to the Company’s officer(s) shall be deemed as a shareholder or proxy

who approves such agenda item.

If there is no shareholder or proxy showing his/her hand for disapproval or

abstention votes, and no shareholder cast his/her votes in advance in the

proxy form, for disapproval or abstention votes, it shall be deemed that the

meeting unanimously resolves to approve such agenda item as proposed by

the Chairman.

1.2 If a proxy grantor does not specify his/her/its intention as to how to vote on an agenda

item in the proxy form or such intention is not clearly specified therein, or there is

any matter other than those specified in the proxy form which is to be considered and

resolved in the meeting, or there is any change or amendment to any fact in the

meeting, the proxy will be entitled to consider and vote on such agenda item as the

proxy may deem appropriate.

1.3 In the event that a shareholder appoints a proxy to attend and vote on his/her/its

behalf pursuant to his/her/its intention to cast approval, disapproval, or abstention

vote (as the case may be) as marked in the proxy form for the relevant agenda item in

compliance with the regulations, the Company will record and collect such vote as

marked or specified by the shareholder in the proxy form in advance, and the

Company will not provide the proxy with the ballot for such agenda item.

2. Vote Counting

2.1 A barcode system will be applied by the Company for counting votes.

2.2 One share shall be counted as one vote.

2.3 The vote counting in each agenda item for this meeting will be divided into 2

In the event of the agenda item for which a simple majority vote of

shareholders who attend the meeting and cast their votes is required

(according to Section 107 (1) of the Public Limited Companies Act, B.E.

2535 (1992), only the number of approval and disapproval votes cast by the

shareholders will be applied as the base number of votes for calculation

purpose exclusive of the number of abstention votes.

In the event of the agenda item for which a vote of not less than two-thirds of

the total number of votes of shareholders who attend the meeting is required

(according to Section 90 of the Public Limited Companies Act, B.E. 2535

(1992), the total number of votes of the shareholders who attend the meeting

will be applied as the base number of votes for calculation purpose where all

of the approval, disapproval and abstention votes will be included.

2.4 Any vote casting in the manner stated below shall be deemed as the vote cast by "the

person not entitled to vote":

Shareholders attending the meeting in person

an amendment to such vote without the proxy grantor's signature on the place

and delegates the proxy to cast the vote in the meeting but:

shares entitled to vote (in case of custodian).

has ended.
