CLARIFICATION ON OUR PAR-SPLIT NEWS.

June 12, 2001 To: President Stock Exchange of Thailand Re: Clarification on our Par-Split news. As the Stock Exchange had checked with us on the news that the company is considering splitting the par value of its shares, I am writing this to confirm that the company do study the possibility as well as the pro and con of the splitting especially if we can split into a higher number of share than the two that is allowed at the moment. It is always our intention to find ways to promote the company for higher interest from the local investors. Anyhow, since the amendment of the public company law is not finalized yet, thus the company cannot proceed on the issue at the very moment. Please be informed accordingly. Sincerely Yours, (Chatchai Thiamtong) Vice President - Finance
