Intended use of proceeds

It is expected that the KETH shares to be issued under the Global Offering will account for approximately 17.12% of the issued share capital of KETH as enlarged by the issuance under the Global Offering. It is intended that the net proceeds to KETH from theGlobalOffering will mainly be used for the expansion of the business coverage of KETH in Thailand.

Conditions precedent to the Proposed Spin-off

The Proposed Spin-off will be conditional upon, among other things:

  1. the Listing Committee granting approval for the Proposed Spin-off under PN15;

  2. the SEC granting approval for the Global Offering;

  3. the SET granting approval for the listing of the KETH shares in issue and to be issued pursuant to the Global Offering; and

  4. the satisfaction of, or waiver from, the assured entitlement requirement under PN15.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions (including the Listing Committee’s approval under PN15, which may or may not be granted) has been fulfilled. If any of these and other applicable conditions are not fulfilled or waived, the Proposed Spin-off will not proceed and an announcement will be published by the Company as soon as practicable thereafter.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Financial information of KETH

Set out below are the total revenue and net profit before and after tax of KETH based on its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the two years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018:

For the year ended For the year ended
31 December 2017 31 December 2018
THB THB
Total Revenue 6,626,407,538 13,565,348,883
Profit before tax 898,190,573 1,467,182,896
Profit after tax 730,260,900 1,185,100,795

Financial effects of the Proposed Spin-off

Immediately upon the completion of the Proposed Spin-off, the Company’s equity interests in KETH will reduce to approximately 50.41% and it is intended that KETH will remain as a subsidiary of the Company immediately after completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Company will continue to consolidate the results of KETH into the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Business delineation between the Retained Group and KETH

After the Proposed Spin-off, there will be a clear delineation of business between the Retained Group and KETH:

  1. Following the completion of the Proposed Spin-off, KETH will continue to operate express delivery business in Thailand, where KETH offers parcel delivery services and related value-added services to corporate customers such as banks,financial institutions andtradingfirms (B2B), e-commerce platforms and home-shopping channels operating in Thailand (B2C), and individuals (C2C) in Thailand.

  2. The Retained Group will continue to operate its existing principal businesses globally, which encompass integrated logistics, international freight forwarding and supply chain solutions, other than express delivery in Thailand, which will be operated by KETH.

  3. InThailand, the Retained Group will continue to offer port operations, warehousing and trucking (which form parts of the Retained Group’s integrated logistics services) and freight forwarding services, which are distinct from, and independent of, the express delivery services offered by KETH. KETH does not operate any of the businesses of the Retained Group.

The businesses of KETH operate independently from the businesses of the Retained Group business. Members of the Retained Group do not, and it is expected that they will not, engage in any business activities that compete with those of KETH. KETH has separate functional departments (including accounting, internal audit, administration, human resources and company secretarialdepartments) sufficientfor itsown infrastructure support and are expected to continue to operate separately and independently from the Retained Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Restrictions on the Company for selling the KETH shares

The Company, as a controlling shareholder of KETH, will be required to observe a moratorium on the transfer or disposal of some or all of its interest in the securities of KETH for at least six months and up to one year after completion of the Proposed Spin-off.

Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Spin-off

The Board believesthatthe ProposedSpin-offwill bringthefollowing benefitsto boththeCompany and KETH:

  • (i) it will enable the Company to fully focus on and deploy its funds towards the development of the businesses of the Retained Group without the need to consider the funding requirements of KETH;

  • (ii) the value of KETH is expected to be enhanced through the Proposed Spin-off, which will in turn benefit the Company as the controlling shareholder of the KETH, given that a separate listing on the SET will, among others:

  • a. enhance KETH’s profile amongst its customers and other business partners, as well as its ability to retain and recruit good talents;

  • b. enable KETH to directly and independently access both equity and debt capital markets in the future should the need arise; and

  • c. enhance the borrowing capacity of KETH and provide clarity on the credit profile of KETH for rating agencies and financial institutions that wish to analyze and lend against the credit of the express delivery business.

Assured entitlement

In compliance with PN15, theCompany is required to provide the Shareholders with an assured entitlement to the KETHShares. PN15further providesthatthe MinorityShareholders may by resolution in general meeting resolve to waive such requirement.

Distribution in Specie

The Company has considered the option of distributing certain KETH shares to the Shareholders by way of a distribution in specie. However, having considered the following factors, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that all such KETH shares be held by the Company for the benefit of the Shareholders following the Proposed Spin-off:

  • (i) The number of the KETH shares to be distributed to the Shareholders may be small and thus not meaningful, giventhattheCompany currentlyowns 63.00%ofthe KETH shares (which will bediluted as a resultofthe ProposedSpin-off) andtherewereover 750Shareholders asofthe Latest Practicable Date;

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) Any distribution would have to be made in proportion to the number of Shares held by the Shareholders. As such, given a large numberofShareholders with small shareholding,the assured entitlement would in most cases givetheShareholdersodd lotsofthe KETH shares which may beof no significantvaluedueto the discount usually applied to odd lots as a result of their low marketability;

  • (iii) Pursuant to the SET Regulations, 55% of the KETH shares would have to be subject to a moratorium of one year from the date the KETH shares become publicly traded on the SET, 25% of which may be sold or disposed of after six months. As a result, the Company, as a controlling shareholder of KETH, will be required to observe a moratorium on the transfer or disposal of some or all of its interest in the securities of KETH for at least six months and up to one year after completion of the Proposed Spin-off, and therefore may not be able to distribute its KETH shares to the Shareholders for six months and up to one year after completion of the Proposed Spin-off;

  • (iv) In the event a majority of the Company’s KETH shares are entered into a moratorium period of one year after completionofthe ProposedSpin-off,distribution in specie afterthe endof such moratorium period may create downward pressure on the Company’s share price and subject Shareholders to uncertainty and share price volatility, which would be prejudicial to the interest of the Shareholders;

  • (v) To the knowledge of the Company, most of the Shareholders reside outside ofThailand.As a result, most Shareholders will face practical difficulties in order to receive, hold or dispose of the KETH shares, including:

  • a. opening of a bank account in Thailand;

  • b. opening of a share trading account with a registered broker in Thailand;

  • c. paying brokerage fee per transaction; and

  • d. dealing with foreign exchange requirements in Thailand.

  • (vi) The Company would have to incur additional costs and administrative work to register all Shareholders as shareholders of KETH in Thailand.

PreferentialOffering

As the KETH shares will not be listed in Hong Kong, the KETH shares can only be made available to the Shareholders by way of a public offering in Hong Kong. Since the number of Shareholders to be offered in any such preferential offering would likely exceed 50 persons, such public offering would require registration of a prospectus under theCompanies (WindingUp and Miscellaneous Provisions)Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the laws of Hong Kong). Given the time and expenses involved in preparing and obtaining regulatory approval for a prospectus, the Directors do not consider that the provision of an assured entitlement by way of a preferential offering is appropriate.

Based on the above reasons, the Directors consider that strict compliance with the assured entitlement requirement under PN15 would not be in the best interests of the Company. The Company therefore proposes to convene the SGM to seek approval from the Minority Shareholders to waive such requirement.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SPECIAL DIVIDEND

It is proposed that a special dividend in the range of 10 to 14 HK cents per Share, will be distributed to QualifyingShareholders providedthat (i)the MinorityShareholders approvethe resolutions in relationtothewaiver from the assured entitlement requirement as set out in this circular; and (ii) completion of the Proposed Spin-off takes place. The Special Dividend will be payable to the Qualifying Shareholders on the Dividend Record Date. Subject to the fulfillment of the above conditions, the Special Dividend will be paid to Qualifying Shareholders as soon as practicable and in any event within seven days after completion of the Proposed Spin-off.The completion of the Proposed Spin-off is expected to take place by end of December 2019. The Company will announce further details with regard to the Special Dividend such as the final rate and final payment date of the Special Dividend before completion of the Proposed Spin-off.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,711,845,112 Shares. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the SGM, the Special Dividend, if declared and paid, will amount to an aggregate amount of approximately HK$171,184,511.20 to HK$239,658,315.70.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The ProposedSpin-off constitutes a deemed disposal of the interest in a subsidiary of theCompany under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules and all of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Proposed Spin-off are expected to be below 5%.The ProposedSpin-off is subjecttothe approvalofthe ListingCommittee under PN15 andthe Board is of the view that the Company complies with all the spin-off requirements under PN15, subject to the Minority Shareholders passing an ordinary resolution at the SGM to waive the assured entitlement requirement.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, theCompany had not obtained the ListingCommittee's approval on the ProposedSpin-off.Such approval mayor may not be granted. Inthe eventthattheCompany is unabletoobtain the Listing Committee's approval, the Proposed Spin-off will not take place and the Company will not be required to satisfy, or seek a waiver from, the assured entitlement requirement under PN15 at the SGM. The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when necessary in accordance with the Listing Rules.

As the Proposed Spin-off is subject to, among other things, the approval by the Listing Committee under PN15, the approval of the Global Offering by the SEC, the approval by the SET, the satisfaction of, or waiver from, the assured entitlement requirement under PN15, market conditions and other considerations, Shareholders and potential investors should be awarethatthere is no assurancethatthe ProposedSpin-offwill take place and, if so, when they may take place. Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

The SGM will be convened at which the resolutions will be proposed to seek Minority Shareholders’ approval for the waiver of the assured entitlement requirement under PN15 in respect of the Proposed Spin-off. KPL (as controlling shareholder of the Company) and its Associates (including Caninco Investments Limited and Darmex Holdings Limited) will abstain from voting in relation to the resolutions approving the waiver of the assured entitlement requirement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, KPL and its Associates are, in aggregate, deemed to be interested in approximately 66.61% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

A notice convening the SGM to be held at Kowloon Room, Mezzanine Floor, Kowloon Shangri-La, 64 Mody Road, Tsimshatsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Friday, 31 May 2019 at 3:45 p.m. (or as soon thereafter as the first special general meeting of the Company to be held at the same place and on the same date at 3:15 p.m. shall have been concluded or adjourned) (or any adjournment thereof) is set out on pages 12 to 13 of this circular.
