Covid-19 Update
Despite a recent surge in reported Covid-19 cases in Southeast Asia, the pandemic appears tohave been relatively well controlled in Thailand which represents a small percentage of caseswhen compared to neighbouring countries. Notwithstanding the low infection rate, the economicimpact is expected to be significant given the substantial contribution of tourism “exports” to theThai economy (together with associated pull through revenue for the adjacent service andconsumer industries).

Thailand in Focus | Equity Markets
A majority of industries experienced a cumulative decline in market capitalisation in the 12months to 30 June 2020 (with the SET plunging 16% in the first 6 months of 2020). Asexpected, the Thai aviation sector was among the hardest hit industries with a ~55% decline inmarket capitalisation and a 60% decline in EBITDA largely driven by Covid-19 travel restrictions.Conversely, the Thai agricultural sector performed well with earnings improvements driven byhigher crop yields and improving rice prices.

Industry Median
• Sales: Global light vehicle sales
expected to be down by 22% in
2020. This compares to an 8%
decline during the 2008/09 crisis.
• Production: Global light vehicle
production is also expected to fall
23%. However, several
automakers are moving into
recovery mode. Component
supply will influence production.
• Public transport: Expected
consumer shift towards individual
mobility from public transport
due to health concerns.
• Dealers: Impacted by lock-
downs and social distancing,
dealerships are struggling to
move target order quantities and
are announcing major staff
reductions.
• Supply chains: Reduced
volumes have led to suppliers
increasing component prices,
further adding to financial
pressures on the cash strained
supply chains for manufacturers
which are running production
lines at lower speeds to allow
physical distancing by factory
workers. OEMs are taking
increasing steps to identify and
address supplier resilience risks.
Global Light Vehicle Sales
Consumer Sentiment
Thailand has the largest automotive manufacturing industry in Southeast Asia. Virtually all of the world's leading automakers, assemblers and component manufacturers have an established presence in Thailand. Covid-19 shocks to the automotive industry are expected to be more severe than the 2008/2009 global financial crisis. Although positive signs have emerged in China, where demand is recovering as the economy emerges from lockdown, recovery in other key Western demand markets may be delayed due to local restrictions and recession uncertainties, with consumer discretionary spending on automotive expected to remain weak.

Two major Thai airlines have filed for formal insolvency protection so far in 2020. Full year global passenger demand is forecast to fall by 48% in 2020 from 2019 levels. Globally, airlines have been forced to park over 17,000 passenger jets (around two thirds of all those in service) and to cut large portions of the workforce as well as seek government bailouts (in some cases). Airlines are seeking to cancel orders and deliveries are estimated to drop by 50% in 2020 YoY.

Recovering From Covid-19
A comprehensive crisis management framework should include practical steps to ensureprotection of stakeholders, preservation of business continuity and preparation for the “newnormal” in the post Covid-19 world. We are actively helping businesses in Southeast Asia torespond, recover and thrive through the operational and financial disruption caused by Covid-19.
A Phased Approach to Business Transformation for the “New Normal”
• Implement comprehensive immediate as well as long term action plans to protect key stakeholders, including employees, customers, partners, and the community.
• Ensure Day 1 Command Centre brings together scenario planning, strategy, end-to-end operations, execution.
• Assess supplier financial heath for critical components
• Scale up supplier risk function in purchasing, likely to be multiple supplier failures, prepare options
• Systematic monitoring of inventory in the supply chain. Stagger production speed to fill supply chain
• Ramp up production slowly to fill supply chain, focus on key SKUs / high demand variants
• Right size per strategy, swift action
Supply Chain Continuity
• How much liquidity does the company need to restart?
• Optimising current usage and visibility
• Financing as well as sources and diversity of funding. Government support incl. tax reliefs and incentives
• Covenant position with lenders, how will they react, alternative lenders
• Options to raise external finance (asset disposals, sale / lease back etc.)
• Sequencing of funding sources

Business Rehabilitation in Thailand
The formal Business Rehabilitation Process (“BRP”) was first introduced in Thailand in 1998 andis widely used to solve situations when companies face financial challenges. The BRP providesbreathing space from creditors to allow a recovery plan to be developed and implemented toimprove stakeholder outcomes. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the BRP back into thespotlight with fourteen petitions filing with Thai’s Bankruptcy Court since March 2020 (includingtwo major airlines) indicating a level of stress not seen since the Asian Financial Crisis.
Overview of the BRP
Petition is filed.
Court accepts petition.
Court orders Rehab and appoints Planner.
Court Order is announced in Royal Gazette.
Planner submits the Plan to the official receiver.
Creditors’ meeting to consider the Plan
Court approves the Plan and appoint Plan Administrator
Plan Administrator has a period of five years to successfully implement the Plan. This period may be extended twice for additional one-year term.
Creditors submits the claims within one month.
Planner prepares the Business Rehabilitation Plan within three months (two extensions of one month each are possible)
Automatic Stay comes
into immediate effect once
the Rehabilitation Petition
is accepted by the Court.
• Automatic Stay: Upon the submission ofthe petition and acceptance by the Court,an automatic stay will come into effect andserve as a temporary shield for debtor inorder to maintain the ordinary businessoperations during the BRP. Conversely, asa protective measure for creditors, the stayimposes restrictions on the ability of thedebtor to dispose of, distribute, transfer orcreate any encumbrance over its assets orto repay pre-BRP debts unless doing sowould be a continuation of the ordinarycourse of business.
• Appointment of a Planner: Uponcommencement of the BRP, the powers andduties of the debtor’s directors in managingthe business as well as the legal rights ofshareholders (except the right to receivedividends) are vested in the newlyappointed Planner and Plan Administrator.The Planner has two main functions;managing the business and preparing arehabilitation plan. This introduces arestructuring professional to the situation toassist with rescuing the business.
Key Features
Creditor can file an objection at least three days before preliminary court hearing.
• Voting: The rehabilitation plan must be approved by a special resolution of either i) each class of creditors; or ii) at least one class of creditors who carry not less than 50% of the total debt. The same voting rules also apply to actions to approve revisions to the plan, remove the plan administrator, and / or to appoint a creditors’ committee for implementation of the plan.
• Priority Rescue Financing: Fundingadvanced during the BRP is afforded apriority over pre-BRP debts. This increasesthe confidence of new financiers orinvestors injecting new money formaintaining the going concern and forfuture growth.
• Potential Future Cross BorderRecognition: Thailand is not a party to aninternational treaty on insolvency orrehabilitation of foreign judgements.However, the Legal Execution Departmentunder the Ministry of Justice is in theprocess of adding new provisions that are inline with the UNCITRAL’s Model Law toaddress such pending issues.
