The company has already complied with the requirement and does not have to allocate any additional part of annual net profit as reserve for the year of 2023.

The Company has a policy to pay dividend in the amount of no less than 25% of its net profit after deducting corporate income tax, if there is no loss accrued and/or that such payments do not have significant impact on the Company's normal business operations and those of its

subsidiaries. In 2023, the Company posted a net profit of baht 2,547 million or baht 1.49 per share.

Therefore, the Company considered appropriate to declare a dividend payment for the operating results of the year 2023 at the rate of baht 0.48 per share or totaling baht 818.31 million or 32 % of net profit after tax which is well complied with the company's dividend payout policy and which

will be paid from retained earnings of which the corporate income tax was 20%. The Company paid an interim dividend at the rate of baht 0.28 per share on September 19, 2023, thus the dividend for the fiscal year 2023 remains at baht 0.20 per share or baht 341.51 million. Record date for the rights to receive dividend is set on May 8, 2024. Approval by the Office of Insurance Commission ("OIC") is required before the dividend can be paid.

The Board of Directors' opinion: The Company has allocated profits as a legal reserve in accordance with the law. It is deemed appropriate to propose to the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to approve the dividend payment for the operating results of the year 2023 at the rate of baht 0.48 per share or totaling baht 818.31 million or 32 % of net profit after tax which is well complied with the company's dividend payout policy and which will be paid from

retained earnings of which the corporate income tax was 20%. The Company paid an interim dividend at the rate of baht 0.28 per share on September 19, 2023, thus the dividend for the fiscal year 2023 remains at baht 0.20 per share or baht 341.51 million. Record date for the rights to receive dividend is set on May 8, 2024 and the company will notify the date of dividend payment date later once receive the approval from OIC.
