DEBENTURE ISSUANCE AND SHAREHOLDERS' EXTRAORDINARY MEETING
No. EGCO 310/566
Date: August 31, 1999
Attn: The President of the Stock Exchange of Thailand
Subject: Debenture Issuance and Set date for the Shareholders'
Extraordinary Meeting No.1/1999
The Board of Directors of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited
(EGCOMP) at its meeting No. 8/1999 held on August 30, 1999 passed the
resolutions as follows:
1. To propose the Shareholders' meeting to approve debenture issuance in
Baht, and/or other foreign currencies with the worth of not exceeding
Baht 5,000 millions and offer to sell in one whole lot or in many
placements to the general public and/or local and foreign institutional
investors, with the maturity period not exceeding 5 years. The conditions
and details of the debentures such as the offered amount, par amount,
offering price, interest rate, offering plan and timetable, and etc.,
can be determined depending on the discretion of Executive Board.
The consortium of Financial Advisors comprising Credit Suisse First Boston
(Singapore) Ltd., Merrill Lynch (Singapore) Pte., Thai Farmers Bank Public
Company Ltd., Thai Farmers Asset Management Company Ltd. and Merrill Lynch
Phatra Securities Company Ltd. have proposed investment plan study for the
near future involved with SPP in Thailand, Water Projects and Power Plants
in the Philippines, as previously reported in the Annual Registration
Statement (Form 56-1). The expected capital investment is approximately Baht
6,000 million.
According to the current market situation of high liquidity and low interest
rate, which is suitable for the issuance and investment in the private bond
market, especially for companies with sound credit, the recommended fund
raising plan is to issue debenture which fits to the financial structure of
the company, since the company expected a stable dividend payment cash flow
from its two subsidiaries, namely, Rayong Electricity Generating Co.,Ltd.and
Khanom Electricity Generating Co., Ltd. which will be utilized to pay not only
the principal and interest of the debenture but also the dividend to the
shareholders. Therefore, EGCOMP strongly believes that the investment and
financing plan will poise the sustainable growth and add value to shareholders.
2. To appoint Merrill Lynch Phatra Securities Co.,Ltd. and Thai Farmers Bank Plc.
as Joint-Lead Managers.
3. The Shareholders' Extraordinary Meeting No. 1/1999 will be held on October 4,
1999 at 11:00 a.m. at the Sai Sampan Room, 9th Floor, EGCO Tower, 222 Moo 5,
Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, Tungsonghong, Laksi, Bangkok.
4. The agenda for the Shareholders' Extraordinary Meeting No. 1/1999 will be as
follows:
4.1 To consider and approve the minutes of Shareholders' Annual General
Meeting No. 1/1999 held on April 29, 1999.
