An Update on Political Impacts

25 May 2010 Topic: An Update on Political Impacts To: Managing Director of the Stock Exchange of Thailand Since the domestic political disruption on 14 April 2010, the demonstration has obviously become intensifying. Following such rally aggravation since 22 April 2010 is a series of attack by war weapons around Silom Road and Saladaeng junction, an area in which Dusit Thani Hotel and Dusit Thani Building are situated. As Thai Government began its dispersal operation by narrowing down the parameter of the protest zone-people were also requested for cooperation to refrain from such area, Dusit Thai Hotel and Dusit Thani Building have been hit by war weapons at the hotel's guest room area and front yard including Dusit Thani Building. However, neither guests nor staff members were injured from the incident. Nevertheless, there was no fire incident or serious damages within Dusit Thani Hotel and Dusit Thani Building; only slight damages were reported on the outside of the building. However,the Company has been covered by terrorism insurance with the insurance coverage worth Bt 1,400 million. The insurance company has already performed the damage survey and estimation but has not yet come to the conclusion regarding the exact number of loss and time it would take for damage repair. Since the Company has also secured its crucial data in a back up server at Dusit Princess Srinakarin, Corporate Office was temporarily moved to Dusit Princess Srinakarin and Dusit Thani College. However, Corporate Office has already moved back and resumed its operations at Dusit Thani Building since 24 May 2010 onwards. As for Dusit Thani Bangkok,the hotel has returned to its normal operations since 25 May 2010.Only damaged areas will be closed for the further repair. For your acknowledgement Mr. Chanin Donavanik Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
