Subject: Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction
To Shareholders
Golden Land Property Development Public Company Limited
The Board of Directors’ meeting No. 5/2013 of Golden Land Property Development Public Company
Limited (the “Company” or “GOLD”) held on 8 November 2013 had resolved to approve in principle the sales and
bidding of non-core land located on Ramkhuamhaeng Road, Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang kapi District, Bangkok
with 31 rai 70 sq. wah of total area via the process of announcement through newspapers and contact through
sales representative where the offering price is not lower than market price or book value whichever is higher.
Subsequently, the Company advertised the sales of the land to the public through announcement in
Naewna Newspaper, dated 25 - 27 December 2013 and Prachachat Turakij newspaper, dated 2 – 5 January
2014. Harrison Public Company Limited was appointed to be the representative of the Company to contact the
interested parties who sent in bids to purchase the aforementioned land. Sirisub Patthana Company Limited
(“Sirisub Patthana”) and a leading property developer showed the intention to purchase the aforementioned land
and building with Sirisub Patthana offering the purchasing price of Baht 980.00 million which was the higher price
of the two. Therefore, the Company signed a sale-purchase agreement with Sirisub Patthana on 13 January
2014 with condition that the Company will enter into the transaction once the sharesholder’s meeting passes a
resolution for entering into the transaction.
On 24 February 2014, the Board of Directors’ meeting No 1/2014 had resolved to propose the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders No. 21/2557 to consider and approve the disposition of assets of the Company
which is 35 plots of land, totaling 31 rai 70 sq. wah together with 11 buildings located on Ramkhamhaeng Road,
Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok to Sirisub Patthana who is a connected person to the
Company at the price of Baht 980.00 million.
Such transaction is considered as a disposition of assets according to the Notification of the Capital
Market Supervisory Board No. TorJor. 20/2551 (2008) Re: Rules on Entering into Material Transactions Deemed
as Acquisition or Disposal of Assets and the Notification of The Board of Governors of the Stock Exchange of
Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction
Page 2
Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies Concerning the Acquisition and
Disposition of Assets B.E. 2547 including any later amendments (collectively called “Asset Acquisition or
Disposition Notification”). Based on the total consideration of Baht 980 million, the highest transaction size
calculated based on the Total Value of Consideration criteria, is equal to 7.80% of the total assets of the
Company according to the audited consolidated financial statement of the Company as at 31 December 2013.
When this is combined with the disposition of other assets over the past 6 months with transaction size of 0.62%
of total value of the Company’s assets, calculated based on Total Value of Consideration criteria, the combined
transaction size is 8.42%. Therefore the transaction size is considered insignificant according to the Asset
Acquisition or Disposition Notification.
Furthermore, because Sirisap Pattana, the purchaser of the assets, is considered as a connected
person of the Company in which Mr. Panot Sirivadhanabhakdi who is the Vice Chairman of the Board of Director
of the Company is also a director of TCC Holding Company Limited (“TCC”) which is a major shareholder of
Sirisap Pattana (as at 21 November 2013, TCC holds 99.97% of Sirisap Pattana shares), the entering into the
transaction is classified as a connected transaction according to the Notification of the Capital Market
Supervisory Board No. TorJor. 21/2551 (2008) Re: Rules for making related transactions and the Notification of
The Board of Governors of the Stock Exchange of Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of
Listed Companies Concerning the Connected Transactions B.E. 2546 (2003) and its amendment (collectively
called “Connected Transaction Notification”). The transaction size is 16.18% of the net tangible assets as at 31
December 2013 which exceeds 3% of the net tangible assets. The Company did not enter into any transactions
with the same related person or close relatives of such person over the past 6 months. Therefore, the Company
has to disclose information of the transaction to the the Stock Exchange of Thailand (“SET”) and is required to
gain approval to enter into the transaction from shareholders’ meeting with not less than three fourths of the
votes from shareholders attending the meeting and eligible to vote. In addition, the Company is required to
appoint an independent financial advisor to provide their opinions concerning rationality, fairness of the price, and
conditions of the transaction to shareholders of the Company as part of the consideration for the transaction
approval. As the Company is a subsidiary company of Univentures Public Company Limited (“Univentures”);
therefore, the entering into transaction must also be approved from Univentures shareholders’ meeting as well.
The Company has appointed RHB OSK Securities (Thailand) Public Company Limited, a financial
advisor which is endorsed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is independent of the
parties involved in the transaction, as an Independent Financial Advisor (“IFA”) to provide opinion on connected
transaction to the shareholders for consideration in approving the transaction.
In providing the IFA’s opinion, we studied and received information from the Company and publicly
available documents, such as Board of Directors’ meeting resolutions, Information Memorandum, Annual
Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction

Registration Statement (56-1), financial statements, financial projection and key assumptions and relevant
documents, notification of shareholder meeting, documents related to land and building i.e. lease agreement,
land purchase agreement, information gathered from interviews with the Company’s management and industry
research papers including information from interviews with property developers from listed companies and other
property developers, as information in order to analyze and provide our opinion.
Thus, our opinion is based on the assumption that all public information, all information and documents
received from the Company, including information gathered from interviews with the Company’s management,
and other related information are complete and accurate. With our best effort, we comprehensively reviewed the
information in accordance with professional standard. Also, we considered the industry development and the
surrounding circumstance while we were conducting our study and providing our opinion and place importance
on the benefits of minority shareholders. If an event occurred and resulted in a material change regarding
information and circumstance from the present such as a significant change or incomprehensiveness and
inaccuracy of the relied information, the event could have a significant effect on our opinion.
Our opinion in relation to the entering into the transaction is as follow:

1. Executive Summary
The Board of Directors’ meeting No. 5/2013 of Golden Land Property Development Public Company Limited
(“the Company” or “GOLD”) held on 8 November 2013 had resolved to approve in principle the sales and
bidding of non-core land located on Ramkhuamhaeng Road, Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang kapi District,
Bangkok with 31 rai 70 sq. wah of total area via the process of announcement through newspapers and
contact through sales representative where the offering price is not lower than market price or book value
whichever is higher.
Subsequently, the Company advertised the sales of the land to the public through announcement in
Naewna Newspaper, dated 25 - 27 December 2013 and Prachachat Turakij newspaper, dated 2 – 5
January 2014. Harrison Public Company Limited was appointed to be the representative of the Company to
contact the interest parties who sent in bids to purchase the aforementioned lands. Sirisub Patthana
Company Limited (“Sirisub Patthana”) and a leading property developer showed the intention to purchase
the aforementioned land and building with Sirisub Patthana offering the purchasing price of Baht 980.00
million which was the higher price of the two. Therefore, the Company signed a sell-purchase agreement
with Sirisub Patthana on 13 January 2014 with condition that the Company will enter into the transaction
once the sharesholder’s meeting passes a resolution for entering into the transaction.
On 24 February 2014, the Board of Directors’ meeting No 1/2014 had resolved to propose the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders No. 21/2557 to consider for approval the disposition of assets of the
Company which is 35 plots of land, totaling 31 rai 70 sq. wah together with 11 buildings located on
Ramkhamhaeng Road, Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok to Sirisub Patthana who is a
connected person to the Company at the price of Baht 980.00 million.
Such transaction is considered as a disposition of assets according to the Notification of the Capital Market
Supervisory Board No. TorJor. 20/2551 (2008) Re: Rules on Entering into Material Transactions Deemed
as Acquisition or Disposal of Assets and the Notification of The Board of Governors of the Stock Exchange
of Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies Concerning the Acquisition
and Disposition of Assets B.E. 2547 including any later amendments (collectively called “Asset Acquisition
or Disposition Notification”). Based on the total consideration of Baht 980 million, the highest transaction
size calculated based on the Total Value of Consideration criteria, the transaction size is equal to 7.80% of
the total assets of the Company according to the audited consolidated financial statement of the Company
as at 31 December 2013. When this is combined with the disposition of other assets over the past 6
months with transaction size of 0.62% of total value of the Company’s assets, calculated based on Total
Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction
Page 5
Value of Consideration criteria, the combined transaction size is 8.42%. Therefore the transaction size is
considered insignificant according to the Asset Acquisition or Disposition Notification.
Furthermore, because Sirisap Pattana, the purchaser of the assets, is considered as a connected person of
the Company in which Mr. Panot Sirivadhanabhakdi who is the Vice Chairman of the Board of Director of
the Company is also a director of TCC Holding Company Limited (“TCC”) which is a major shareholder of
Sirisap Pattana (as at 21 November 2013, TCC holds 99.97% of Sirisap Pattana shares), the entering into
the transaction is classified as a connected transaction according to the Notification of the Capital Market
Supervisory Board No. TorJor. 21/2551 (2008) Re: Rules for making related transactions and the
Notification of The Board of Governors of the Stock Exchange of Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and
Other Acts of Listed Companies Concerning the Connected Transactions B.E. 2546 (2003) and its
amendment (collectively called “Connected Transaction Notification”). The transaction size is 16.18% of the
net tangible assets as at 31 December 2013 which exceeds 3% of the net tangible assets. The Company
did not enter into any transactions with the same related person or close relatives of such person over the
past 6 months. Therefore, the Company has a duty to disclose information of the transaction to the the
Stock Exchange of Thailand (“SET”) and is required to gain approval to enter into the transaction from
shareholders’ meeting in which the transaction requires not less than three fourths of the votes from
shareholders attending the meeting and eligible to vote. In addition, the Company is required to appoint an
independent financial advisor to provide their opinions concerning rationality, fairness of the price, and
conditions of the transaction to shareholders of the Company as part of the consideration for the transaction
approval. As the Company is a subsidiary company of Univentures Public Company Limited (“Univentures”);
therefore, the entering into transaction must also be approved from Univentures shareholders’ meeting as
well.
Currently, the Company has a policy to develop low-rise real estate in the Bangkok area with a price range
of Baht 3 – 6 million and commercial high-rise real estate, such as office building, hotel, etc. The Company
conducted feasibility studies of possible real estate development on this land; such as single detached
houses, town homes, condominium, etc. From the feasibility study, due to the land is relatively big and the
land cost is relatively high, the real estate projects which were suitable for the land are hi-end level low-rise
real estate projects and high-rise real estate projects. However, the investment costs developing the hi-end
level low-rise real estate projects with average price of more than Baht 10 million per unit and high-rise real
estates are high and the selling period is longer.
Furthermore, the IFA inquired the opinion of experts in the real estate industry; such as listed property
developers and owners of property companies and their opinions are in line with the Company’s studies that
on the appropriate projects to develop on the land and selling period of such projects.

In addition, with the current financial constraints on high debt burden and high finance cost, which in 2011-
2013 the Company had finance cost of Baht 173.54 million, Baht 286.04 million and Baht 248.81 million
resulting in the Company’s deficit of Baht 253.33 million, Baht 618.15 million and Baht 454.15 million,
respectively. Subsequently additional borrowing from financial institutions is restricted; therefore the source
of funds to invest in the projects according to the Company’s policy is limited. For the mentioned reasons,
the Company has shown the intention to sell non-core land located on Ramkhamhaeng Road, Hua Mak
Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok comprising of 35 plots of land with total area of 31 rai 70 sq. wah.
Entering into transaction, the Company will receive Baht 926.54 million1 in cash (after deducting transfer fee
and tax of Baht 53.66 million) which Baht 500.00 million will be used to repay short-term loans from
financial institution, as a result will decrease financial cost by approximately Baht 25.00 million2 and the
remaining of Baht 426.54 million will be used as working capital of the Company and for investment in real
estate projects according to the Company’s policy. Moreover, the Company will recognize profits from sales
of assets of Baht 231.84 million3 which will lower the debt to equity ratio from 1.14 times to 1.01 times
(Details of the calculation in item 4.2)
On the negative side, the Company will lose the opportunity to receive rental and service income from
warehouse rental, lose the opportunity in developing a real estate project on the land, and lose opportunity
in the potential profits from the appreciation of the market price of the land in the future.
The Company has received an offer from Sirisub Patthana to purchase land and building for Baht 980.00
million, and has appointed Advanced Appraisal Company Limited (the “Independent Appraiser”) to appraise
the value of the land and building. The Independent Appraiser has appraised the value of the land and
building based on the Cost Approach at Baht 836.27 million. The offer price of Baht 980.00 million is
39.11% higher than book value as at 31 December 2013 and 17.19% higher than appraisal value by the
Independent Appraiser. As for the terms and conditions for the transaction, the IFA deems that the terms
and conditions of transaction are reasonable and as of common practice for this type of transaction,
therefore the Company’s shareholders will not deprived of any benefits.
Based on the above rationale, we have an opinion that the shareholders should vote in favor of the entering
into the transaction; however, the decision of approving or not approving this transaction is to be made at
the shareholders’ own discretion. 1 The offer price of Baht 980.00 million is deducted by transfer fee, special business tax and withholding tax of approximately Baht 53.46
million. Therefore, the Company will receive net cash of Baht 926.54 million. 2 Calculated based on the interest rate in the loan agreement with Thanachart Bank Public Company Limited for Baht 500.00 million loan. 3 Profit from asset sales is calculated from Baht 275.50 million of profit from asset sales deducting by transfer fee and tax of Baht 43.66
million. The Company is expected to be able refund Baht 9.80 million of withholding tax since to the Company’s has tax losses carried forward.

In 2014, the proportion of low-rise residence will increase form 2013. However, there are negative
factors from slow down economic situation and lack of labor. The crisis of labors will encourage
the project developers to use semi-finished products for construction and displace labors with
technology. The significant positive and negative factors for real estate market; such as Thai
economic situation, inflation rate, price of construction material, strictness of commercial bank,
residence price, etc.
4. The Reasonableness to Enter into the Transaction
4.1. Objective and Necessity of the Transaction
In 1995, the Company purchased 35 plots of lands, 31 rai 70 sq.wah located on Ramkhamhaeng Road,
Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok along with 11 buildings on the land with the main
objective to use the land, which the Company foresaw the potential, to develop a real estate project.
After the purchase was made, the buildings have not been maintained or develop for rental purpose;
however, there were some interested parties who ask to rent the some of the warehouses.
Subsequently, there were several changes in the Company’s shareholders, boards of directors, and
management until the present. The Board of Director had considered and deemed that the
aforementioned land is non-core asset so therefore approved in principle for the land to be sold.
As the current Board of Directors and management direction, the Company has a policy to develop
low-rise real estate in the Bangkok area with a price range of Baht 3 – 6 million and commercial high-
rise real estate, such as office building, hotel, etc. The Company conducted feasibility studies of
possible real estate development on this land; such as single detached houses, town homes,
condominium, etc. From the feasibility study, due to the land is relatively big and the land cost is
relatively high, the real estate projects which were suitable for the land are hi-end level low-rise real
estate projects and high-rise real estate projects. However, the investment costs developing the hi-end
level low-rise real estate projects with average price of more than Baht 10 million per unit and high-rise
real estates are high and the selling period is longer.
Furthermore, IFA inquired the opinion of experts in the real estate industry; such as listed property
developers and owners of property companies and their opinions are in line with the Company’s study
that on the appropriate projects to develop on the land and selling period of such projects.
In addition, with the current financial constraints on high debt burden and high finance cost, which in
2011-2013 the Company had finance cost of Baht 173.54 million, Baht 286.04 million and Baht 248.81
million resulting in the Company’s deficit of Baht 253.33 million, Baht 618.15 million and Baht 454.15
Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction
Page 34
million, respectively. Subsequently additional borrowing from financial institutions is restricted; therefore
the source of funds to invest in the projects according to the Company’s policy is limited. For the
mentioned reasons, the Company has shown the intention to sell non-core land located on
Ramkhamhaeng Road, Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok comprising of 35 plots of
land with total area of 31 rai 70 sq. wah. The Company advertised the sales of the land to the public
through announcement in Naewna Newspaper, dated 25 - 27 December 2013 and Prachachat Turakij
newspaper, dated 2 – 5 January 2014. Harrison Public Company Limited was appointed to be the
representative of the Company to contact the interest parties who sent in bids to purchase the
aforementioned land. Sirisub Patthana which is considered a connected person of the Company as Mr.
Panot Sirivadhanabhakdi who is the Vice Chairman of the Board of Director of the Company is also a
director of TCC which is a major shareholder of Sirisub Patthana (as of November 21, 2013, TCC
holds 99.97% of Sirisub Patthana shares) showed the intention to purchase the aforementioned land
and buildings offering the purchase price of Baht 980.00 million which is the higher price than other
bidders. Therefore, the Company signed a sale-purchase agreement with Sirisub Patthana on 13
January 2014. The Company will increase cash flow from entering into transaction to be utilized for
short-term debt repayment to financial institution and investment real estate projects according to the
Company’s policy.
4.2. Advantages and Benefits of Entering into the Transaction
1) Higher Financial Liquidity
The Company will receive Baht 926.54 million from the transaction (after deducting by transfer
fee of Baht 53.46 million). The Company has plans to utilize the proceeds to repay short-term
loans of Baht 500.00 million and the remaining Baht 426.54 million will be used as working
capital and used to invest in new real estate projects with high return in potential locations
according to the Company’s policy.
2) Recognize Profit from Asset Disposition
Book value of the assets to be disposed is Baht 704.50 million according to consolidated financial
statement of the Company as of 31 December 2013. In entering into the transaction, the
Company will receive Baht 980.00 million in return for the assets; therefore, the Company will
recognize profit from sales of assets of Baht 231.84 million. The details are as follows:

Special business tax2/ (32.34)
Withholding tax3/ (9.80)
Total related expenses (53.46)
Book value as of 31 December 2013 704.50
Profit from asset disposal 231.84
Note: 1/ Transfer fee is equal to 2% of appraised price of land by the government agency
2/ Special business tax is equal to 3.3% of selling price
3/ Withholding tax is equal to 1% of selling price
Withholding tax of Baht 9.80 million will be credited in the calculations for corporate income tax
for 2014. Since the Company tax loss carried forward, it is expected that the Company will use
tax loss carried forward and be able to refund the withholding tax occurred from the transaction.
For this reason, the IFA did not include the aforementioned withholding tax in the related
expenses. Therefore, net selling price after deducting by transfer fee and special business tax is
Baht 936.34 million; hence the Company will recognize Baht 231.84 million in profit from sales of
assets.
3) Improved Shareholder Equity
The Company will recognize Baht 231.84 million in profit from sales of assets which will result in
increase in retained earnings. The Baht 926.34 million of cash flow from the asset disposal will
be utilized for short-term debt repayment at Baht 500.00 million which will decrease of DE ratio
from 1.14 times to 1.01 times. The details are as follows:
Item Consolidated Financial Statement (Million Baht)
As of 31 December 2013 After the transaction Total liabilities - before the transaction 6,692.67 6,692.67 Debt repayment to financial institution - (500.00) Total liabilities 6,692.67 6,192.67 Total equity – before the transaction 5,886.87 5,886.87 Profit from asset disposal - 231.84 Total equity 5,886.87 6,118.71 Debt to equity ratio (times) 1.14 1.01
Note: Debt to equity calculated is only the direct impact from entering into transaction only. It does not consider impact from
future performance of the Company or any future borrowing of the Company in the future.

Furthermore, the remaining Baht 426.54 million will be used as working capital of the Company
and used to invest in potential real estate projects which should generate profits and returns for the
Company in the future.
4.3. Disadvantages and Risks of Entering into the Transaction
1) Loss rental and service income from the assets
Currently, the Company has allowed 4 outside parties, who are not connected to the Company,
lease some part of the land and buildings in which the Company receives rental and service
income of Baht 1.13 million monthly. If the Company sells the land and buildings, the Company
will lose the aforementioned rental and service income.
2) Opportunity Loss for Project Development on the Land
The land is adjacent to Ramkhamhaeng Road and nearby important places; such as
Ramkhamhaeng University, Stadium, shopping mall and hospital which is considered a potential
location where the Company can develop a real project. However, the Company studied the
feasibility of the projects on the land and discovered that the potential projects were not
consistent with the Company’s policy at the present. Therefore, the Company does not have a
policy to develop a project on the land.
3) Opportunity Loss to Make a Profit from the Appreciation of Market Price of Land in the
Future
This land is adjacent to Ramkhamhaeng Road has the potential to develop commercial and
residential projects. Therefore, the trend of land price may increase in the future. If the Company
sells the land now, the Company may lose the opportunity to make a higher profit from the
appreciation of the market price of land in the future.
4.4. Comparison Benefits and Impacts between Entering into the Transaction with a Connected Party
and that with a Third Party
The sales of the Company’s land along with 11 buildings which the Company advertised to the public
through announcement in Newspaper where the interested parties that sent in a bid comprise of both
parties who are a connected person and third party. However, the offering price from the connected
person of Baht 980.00 million was higher than other bids, and was higher than the appraised value of
Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction
Page 37
the assets, therefore entering into the transaction with a connected person in this case will be most
beneficial to the Company.
However, entering into the transaction with a connect person will take longer time to approve including
higher expenses as the connected transaction must be approved by the shareholder’s meeting and
require the Company to appoint an independent financial advisor to provide an opinion on the
connected transaction.
5. Fairness of Price and Conditions of the Transactions
5.1. Book Value of Assets
Assets consist of 35 plots of land with total area of 31 rai 70 sq. wah and 11 buildings. As of 31
December 2013, the detail of book value is as follows:
Item Asset Value (million Baht)
Accumulated Depreciation (million Baht)
Book Value (million Baht)
Land 35 plots, 31 rai 70 sq. wah 692.90 - 692.90 11 Buildings 136.56 124.96 11.60 Total 829.46 124.96 704.50
5.2. The Appraised Value of Disposed Assets
The assets to be disposed are land and buildings which the buildings have not been maintained and
developed, thus the assets are not utilized to it full benefit. Moreover, the Company does not have a
plan to develop on project on the land, therefore the IFA considers the value of disposed assets from
the appraised value of the assets by Independent Appraiser.
5.2.1. The Appraised Value of Assets by the Independent Appraiser
The Company appointed Advanced Appraisal Company Limited (the “Independent Appraiser”) to
appraise the value of the assets. The Independent Appraiser surveyed the assets on 13 February 2014
and issued an appraisal report dated 20 February 2014. The Independent Appraiser is certified by The

Note: Independent Appraiser applied depreciation of 60% based on the remarks to standard construction cost 2013
indicated by The Valuer Association of Thailand, a building constructed by engineering standard can be used for
over 100 years, but the building system, walls and other parts are depreciated over the life of the building.
Normally, structure of the building accounts for around 60% of the total building value therefore; In the case the
buildings life is over 30 years, the value of remaining structure shall be not less than 40% of price of new
replacement cost.

5.2.2. Opinion of the IFA on the Property Appraisal by the Independent Appraisal
The IFA renders an opinion on the Asset Appraisal by the Independent Appraisal as the following
details:
1) Opinion of the IFA on Selected Approach of Asset Appraisal
From the appraisal report conducted by the Independent Appraiser, the Cost Approach is
applied for asset appraisal at Baht 836.27 million and the Income Approach is applied for
asset appraisal at Baht 379.64 million. The IFA deems that the Cost Approach is the
appropriate approach as the Independent Appraiser surveyed the sale and offered land prices
which can be comparable to the appraised land. The Independent Appraiser estimated the
land price by comparing the sales and offered price of the similar land and adjusted scoring
based on factors of each plot of land. This approach, in terms of land value, would most
reflect the market price of the land. As for the buildings, the Independent Appraiser estimated
the building value by the Replacement Cost Approach where the replacement cost buildings
will be deducted by accumulated depreciation. The Independent Appraiser deems that the
buildings appraised according to building condition and utilization deducting by 60% of
depreciation which in this case is most appropriate since it is the value of the building as its
current condition.
Meanwhile, the Income Approach may not appropriate for appraised assets since the
buildings were not maintained and not in a good condition for optimal utilization. Moreover,
the Company does not have a plan to utilize the disposed assets; such as property
development, etc. Therefore, the Income Approach will not reflect the real value of the
disposed assets.
Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction
Page 46
From the reasons, the IFA has an opinion in consistent with the Independent Appraiser that
the Cost Approach is the appropriate approach reflecting the fair value of the disposing
assets.
2) Opinion of the IFA on Official Appraised Values
The Independent Appraiser disclosed the land appraised price by government agency of the
35 plots of land in the appraisal report dated 20 February 2014 at the price ranging from Baht
21,500 – 130,000 per sq. wah. with the total land appraised price by government agency of
Baht 565.97 million. IFA have rechecked the appraised price by government agency and the
price in the appraisal report is in consistent with the latest information based on the land cost
appraisal for Bangkok Metropolitan released by the Treasury Department on 1 July 2012 and
official effective for the fiscal year 2012 – 2015.
However, the appraised price by the government agency is lower than the market value
appraised by the Independent Appraiser. This is because the official appraised value is, in
general, intended to be used as a basis for calculation in the registration of rights and juristic
acts, fee calculation, tax from property sale income, special tax, etc. Therefore, the appraised
price by the government agency not considered the market value and is lower than the
market value in most cases. The appraised price by the government agency is not generally
adopted as a basis for land sale and purchase transactions.
The IFA is of the opinion that the determination of fair price for disposing assets can be
considered based on appraised value by the Independent Appraiser of Baht 836.27 million.

5.3. Appropriateness of the Terms and Conditions for the Transaction
The Company has the intention to sell 35 plots of land with total area of 31 rai, 70 sq. wah along with
11 buildings to Sirisub Patthana for Baht 980.00 million (excluding ownership transferring fee and tax of
Baht 53.46 million). The Company will enter into transaction when the Company receives approval from
the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders No. 21/2557 to be held on 21 April 2014 at 2.00 pm. As
of 13 February 2014, Univentures holds 58.59% stake in the Company, therefore the Company is
considered a subsidiary of Univentures. Therefore, the entering into transaction must be approved from
the shareholders’ meeting of Univentures as well. Univentures’ Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders No. 35/2014 to be held on 21 April 2014 at 9.30 am to consider and approve the entering
into transaction.
On 13 January 2014, the Company signed sale-purchase agreement with Sirisub Patthana at the
purchase price of Baht 980.00 million. Sirisub Patthana agreed to deposit Baht 50.00 million and the
remaining of Baht 930.00 million will be paid on the date assets are transferred
In case, the shareholders’ meeting of both the Company and Univentures approve entering into the
transaction, the Company will transfer the ownership of land and buildings to Sirisub Patthana within 15
May 2014. However, in case, the Company and Univentures have not got approval to enter into
transaction from the shareholders’ meeting by that date, it is agreed that to transfer the ownership of
assets will be within 15 days from gaining approval from the shareholders’ meeting of the Company
and Univentures but not more than 6 months from the signing date of the agreement.
Furthermore, the Company will transfer the remaining lease obligation to Sirisub Patthana until the
period stated in the lease agreement ends. And the assets are free of any mortgage and obligation
except lease obligations before transfer of the ownership of land and building to Sirisub Patthana.
In the IFA’s opinion, the conditions for the transaction described above have been concluded through
negotiations between the Company and Sirisub Patthana, who is a connected person, based primarily
on appropriateness and benefits of the Company. Those conditions do not cause any disadvantage to
the Company and mainly conform to the general terms and conditions in a sale and purchase
agreement of land. Therefore, the IFA considers that the conditions for the transaction are appropriate.
6. Conclusion of the IFA’s Opinion
The IFA deems that the entering into transaction to sell 35 plots of non-core land located on
Ramkhamhaeng Road, Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok with total area of 31 rai 70 sq.
wah. Along with 11 buildings is appropriate. The aforementioned transaction is in line with the Company’s
Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor regarding Connected Transaction
Page 48
policy. Entering into transaction, the Company will receive Baht 926.54 million in cash (after deducting
transfer fee and tax of Baht 53.66 million) which Baht 500.00 million will be used to repay short-term loans
from financial institution, as a result will decrease financial cost by approximately Baht 25.00 million and the
remaining of Baht 426.54 million will be used as working capital of the Company and for investment in real
estate projects according to the Company’s policy. Moreover, the Company will recognize profits from sales
of assets of Baht 231.84 million which will lower the debt to equity ratio from 1.14 times to 1.01 times.
On the negative side, the Company will lose the opportunity to receive rental and service income from
warehouse rental, lose the opportunity in developing a real estate project on the land, and lose opportunity
in the potential profits from the appreciation of the market price of the land in the future.
The Company has received an offer from Sirisub Patthana to purchase land and building for Baht 980.00
million, and has appointed Advanced Appraisal Company Limited (the “Independent Appraiser”) to appraise
the value of the land and building. The Independent Appraiser has appraised the value of the land and
building based on the Cost Approach at Baht 836.27 million. The offer price of Baht 980.00 million is
39.11% higher than book value as at 31 December 2013 and 17.19% higher than appraisal value by the
Independent Appraiser. As for the terms and conditions for the transaction, the IFA deems that the terms
and conditions of transaction are reasonable and as of common practice for this type of transaction,
therefore the Company’s shareholders will not deprived of any benefits.
The price offered by Sirisub Patthana of Baht 980 million is appropriate. The price offered is 39.11% higher
than book value as at 31 December 2013 and 17.19% higher than appraised value by the Independent
Appraiser. Furthermore, the conditions for transaction, are deemed reasonable and beneficial to the
Company’s shareholders and will not deprive any benefits.
Based on the above rationale, the IFA have an opinion that the shareholders should vote in favor of the
entering into the transaction; however, the decision of approving or not approving this transaction is to be
made at the shareholders’ own discretion.
