The Board of Directors' Meeting No. 1/2017 of BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited (the "Company"), held on January 9, 2017 passed a resolution to approve the Company to pay the interim dividend from the operating results of the six-month period (April 1, 2016 - September 30, 2016) and retained earnings pursuant to the separate financial statements to the shareholders of the Company, at the rate of Baht 0.165 per share (16.50 Satang per share), or approximately Baht 1,953.45 million in total. In this regard, the Company sets the date for determining the names of shareholders who shall be entitled to receive the interim dividend (Record Date) on January 23, 2017, the date for gathering the names of shareholders under Section 225 of the Securities and Exchange Act B.E. 2535 (as amended) by closing of the share register book and suspending the share transfer on January 24, 2017 and the payment date of the interim dividend on February 7, 2017.

The details on tax credit claims on the interim dividend by the individual shareholders under the criteria of Section 47 bis of the Revenue Code are as follows:

  2. For the dividend of Baht 0.0737 per share (7.37 Satang per share), the individual shareholders are entitled to claim the tax credits at the rate of 20/80 times of the dividend received; and

  3. For the dividend of Baht 0.0834 per share (8.34 Satang per share), the individual shareholders cannot claim any dividend tax credits because such payment is made from dividend revenues that are exempted from the corporate income tax calculation base.

Please be informed accordingly. Sincerely yours,
