an additional 10 years with the pricing to be negotiated at a later date) from M V Television (Thailand) Company
Limited belonging to the Thaveepvoradej Family, which are not related persons. In acquiring this Right, the
Company has to pay 2 portions of compensation to M V Television Company Limited. The first portion is the
right to manage and/or produce television program and/or conduct a co-production agreement with a co-producer of
television programs for 8 satellite television channels for 10 years totaling THB 40 million and the Company will use
internal cash flow of the Company expected to be enough for the settlement. In case that the source of funds is not
enough, the Company will consider funding from the Offerors who are willing to provide loans in the amount of THB
10 million each, and not exceeding THB 20 million in total, with the fixed interest rate of 5 percent and a payment term
within 1 year. The second portion is a monthly payment for THB 600,000 per station per month throughout the contract

the Offerors to dispose of all existing non-related assets as soon as possible. The Offerors have already consented
the Company to enter into the transaction and informed the Company on 21 September 2010. The Offerors shall
not use this issue as an excuse for the cancellation of the Tender Offer.
For the policy of the financial structure, if the meeting of shareholders resolved to approve the investment in
satellite TV business and the Company does not have enough cash flow for the investment, the Company may
borrow the money for the remaining amount from the Offerors with the credit limit not exceeding THB 20 million
with the fixed interest rate of 5 percent per annum. In this case, the Company will have the accountability for the
interest expense including the provision of shareholders loan. However, if the Company is able to dispose of the
non-operating assets, the Company will have the additional cash flow for the investment in satellite TV business
so that the Company does not have to borrow the money from the Offerors and the Offerors expect the credit line
from the financial institution to remains the same. In addition, at this point in time, the Offerors have no plan
about fund raising by issuing newly issued ordinary shares, however if it is necessary for the Company to raise
fund by issuing newly issued ordinary shares, the Company has to comply with laws relating to the securities and
exchange and rules, regulations and notification of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Stock
Exchange of Thailand.
