DTC's trading on a call market basis has been deferred

DTC's trading on a call market basis has been deferred Previously, The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) consigned Dusit Thani Public Company Limited (DTC) to be traded on a call market basis, effective November 15, 2006 if the company failed to meet the "minority shareholder" requirement by October 31, 2006. (Details were posted on SETSMART on June 30, 2006.) This action has now been deferred. DTC has now provided a satisfactory plan to meet the "minority shareholder" requirement, by selling treasury stocks to minority shareholders of Royal Princess Public Company Limited (RPP) and Dusit Hotels and Resorts Co.,Ltd.(DHR) However, as the company is unable to meet the deadline of October 31, 2006, the company has requested a deferment to December 31, 2006. (Details were given via SETSMART on October 20, 2006.) The SET has therefore agreed to defer DTC's trading on a call market basis as requested. However, if the December 31, 2006, deadline is not met, the SET will consign DTC to be traded on a call market basis from January 15, 2007, until the situation is rectified.
