(1)      Price dilution
Price dilution can be calculated as per the following formula:

Price dilution            =          (Pre-offering market price – Post-offering market price) / Pre-
                                                   offering market price

Whereas:
Pre-offering market price means the weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary
shares traded on the SET during 15 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Board
of Directors’ Meeting on March 14, 2019, i.e. from February 21, 2019 to March 13, 2019,
which was equivalent to Baht 4.90 per share and
Post-offering market price means ((Pre-offering market price * Number of paid-up shares) +
(Offering price of ordinary shares offered to the existing shareholders on a pro rata basis*
Number of ordinary shares offered to the existing shareholders on a pro rata basis) + (PORT-
W1 Warrants exercise price * Number of shares issued to accommodate the exercise of
PORT-W1 Warrants)) / (Number of paid-up shares + Number of ordinary shares offered to
the existing shareholders on a pro rata basis + Number of shares issued to accommodate
the exercise of PORT-W1 Warrants)
Whereas:

 Pre-offering market price                                 =             Baht 4.90 per share

 Number of paid-up shares                                  =             460,000,000 shares

 Offering price of ordinary shares offered to
                                                            =            Baht 4.00 per share
 the existing shareholders on a pro rata basis

 Number of ordinary shares offered to the
                                                            =            92,000,000 shares
 existing shareholders on a pro rata basis

 PORT-W1 exercise price                                     =            Baht 6.50 per share

 Number of shares issued to accommodate
                                                            =            46,000,000 shares
 the exercise of PORT-W1 Warrants

Post-offering market price

                 (4.90 * 460,000,000) + (4.00 * 92,000,000) + (6.50 * 46,000,000)
           =
                              (460,000,000 + 92,000,000 + 46,000,000)

                                                                                             16

          =      Baht 4.88 per share

Therefore, the Price dilution can be calculated as follows:

                 (4.90 – 4.88)
          =
                      4.90

          =         0.41 percent

After the issuance and offering of the newly issued ordinary shares of the Company together
with the PORT-W1 Warrants to the existing shareholders on a pro rata basis and such
shareholders fully exercise their rights under the PORT-W1 Warrants, the price dilution will
be 0.41 percent.
(2)      Control dilution
The newly issued ordinary shares of the Company are issued and offered on a pro rata basis
to the existing shareholders of the Company together with the PORT-W1 Warrants which will
be allocated to the existing shareholders of the Company who subscribe for and being
allocated the newly issued ordinary shares, therefore, such issuance and offering for the
existing shareholders of the Company together with the PORT-W1 Warrants which will be
allocated the newly issued ordinary share will not give any effect on control dilution. This is
under the assumption that all shareholders subscribe for the newly issued ordinary shares of
the Company offered on a pro rata basis and the PORT-W1 Warrants are allocated to all of
them.
However, in the case that the existing shareholder does not subscribe for the newly issued
ordinary shares allocated on a pro rata basis or the existing shareholder who has been
allocated the PORT-W1 Warrants transfer all amount of the PORT-W1 Warrant to other
persons. In this case, it will affect the control dilution to such existing shareholder as follows:
Assumption 1 The existing shareholder does not exercise his/her right to subscribe for all
             amount of the newly issued ordinary shares on a pro rata basis.
Control dilution in Assumption 1 can be calculated as per the following formula:

                                         (Number of ordinary shares offered to the existing
                                         shareholders on a pro rata basis + Number of shares
 Control dilution            =           issued to accommodate the exercise of PORT-W1
                                         Warrants) / (Number of paid-up shares + Number of
                                         ordinary shares offered to the existing shareholders

                                                                                                17

                                       on a pro rata basis + Number of shares issued to
                                       accommodate the exercise of PORT-W1 Warrants)

Whereas:

 Number of paid-up shares                        =                 460,000,000 shares

 Number of ordinary shares offered to the
                                                 =                 92,000,000 shares
 existing shareholders on a pro rata basis

 Number of shares issued to accommodate
                                                 =                 46,000,000 shares
 the exercise of PORT-W1 Warrants

Therefore, Control dilution can be calculated as per the following formula:

                                                 (92,000,000 + 46,000,000)
                         =                       (460,000,000 + 92,000,000 + 46,000,000)

                         =                      23.08 percent

In the case that the existing shareholder does not exercise his/her right to subscribe all
amount of the newly issued ordinary shares on a pro rata basis, it will affect the control
dilution which is equivalent to 23.08 percent.
Assumption 2 The existing shareholder who has been allocated the PORT-W1 Warrants
             transfer all of his/her PORT-W1 Warrants to other persons.
Control dilution in Assumption 2 can be calculated as per the following formula:

                                      Number of shares issued to accommodate the
                                      exercise of PORT-W1 Warrants / (Number of paid-
                                      up shares + Number of ordinary shares offered to the
 Control dilution       =
                                      existing shareholders on a pro rata basis+ Number
                                      of shares issued to accommodate the exercise of
                                      PORT-W1 Warrants)

Whereas:

 Number of paid-up shares                       =            460,000,000 shares

 Number of ordinary shares offered to the       =            92,000,000 shares

                                                                                         18

 existing shareholders on a pro rata basis

 Number of shares issued to accommodate
                                                =            46,000,000 shares
 the exercise of PORT-W1 Warrants

Therefore, the Control dilution can be calculated as per the following formula:

                                                         46,000,000
                         =
                                        (460,000,000 + 92,000,000 + 46,000,000)

                        =             7.69 percent

Hence, in the case that the existing shareholder who has been allocated the PORT-W1
Warrants transfer all of his/her PORT-W1 Warrants to other persons, it will affect the Control
dilution which is equivalent to 7.69 percent.
 (3)    Earnings per share (EPS) dilution
 EPS dilution can be calculated as per the following formula:

 EPS dilution           =              (Pre-offering EPS – Post-offering EPS) / Pre-offering EPS

 Whereas:

 Pre-offering EPS       =              Net profit (loss) of the Company during the last 4
                                       quarters / Number of paid-up shares

 Net profit (loss) of the Company during the last 4 quarters can be calculated by the net
 profit only of the shareholders’ equity part during the last 4 quarters, from 1st quarter of
 2018 to 4th quarter of 2018 which was equivalent to Baht 136,939,927.

 Number of paid-up =                   460,000,000 shares
 shares as of March
 11, 2019

                        =              136,939,927

                        =              Baht 0.30 per share

                                                                                           19

 Post-offering EPS                         =     Net profit of the Company during the last 4
                                                 quarters / (Number of paid-up shares + Number of

                                                 PORT-W1 Warrants)

 Net profit (loss) of the Company during the last 4 quarters can be calculated by the net profit only
 of the shareholders’ equity part during the last 4 quarters, from 1st quarter of 2018 to 4th quarter
 of 2018 which was equivalent to Baht 136,939,927.

                                           =
                                                    (460,000,000 + 92,000,000 + 46,000,000)

                                           =

Therefore, the EPS dilution can be calculated as per the following formula:

                                                           (0.30 – 0.23)

                                                               0.30

                                           =              23.08 percent

Therefore, after the issuance and offering the newly issued ordinary shares of the Company
together with the PORT-W1 Warrants to the existing shareholders on a pro rata basis, it will
affect the EPS equivalent to 23.08 percent.

                                                                                             20

        Industry Situation and Competition
2.2.1   Industry Situation
        The container shipping industry’s growth is correlated to import and export volumes via container
        shipping. As such, containerized cargo has been growing in popularity. The process of shipping cargo
        loaded into containers makes a standardized unit of transport that is easy to shift from sea freight to
        rail and truck transportation, providing more efficient intermodal transportation, higher cargo safety and
        less damage, improved vehicle loading and off-loading procedures, streamlined transport and delivery
        planning and helping to improve cost management for bulk buying. Containers used in the industry
        come in a few different standardized sizes, but the most common are 20-foot TEUs and 40-foot TEUs.
        Data from the World Bank, Drewry Maritime Research, Bangkok Ship owners and Agents Association
        (BSAA) and Shanghai International Shipping Institute show significant volumes of container throughput
        from container terminals around the world during the past 17 years, between the year 2000 and 2017,
        which has grown at a rate of 7.36 percent per annum (CAGR). From the total global throughput of
        225 million TEUs in 2000 to a total of 753 million TEUs in 2018. Accordingly, the container throughput
        of Thai terminals in the same time period has expanded at a rate of 6.80 percent per annum (CAGR)
        and grown from 3 million TEUs in the year 2000 to the total of 10 million TEUs in 2017.

                                                      Unit: 1,000,000 TEUs

In addition, the container shipping industry looks to grow in accordance with the international shipping
volumes, which depends on the volume of international trade. According to the Bank of Thailand
(BOT), estimating from the volume of Thai’s import and export in the past 10 years, between year
2008 and 2018, Thailand enjoyed a growth of 4.42% import volumes and 3.33% export volumes.
Thailand's total exports grew at a rate of 3.68%.
Data from the National Economic and Social Development Board stated that Thailand’s gross domestic
product (GDP) in 2018 is estimated at THB 16.32 trillion, while the total export and import value for
the year 2018 accounted for 99.23% of the GDP. It can be seen that import and export are critical
economic activities for the Thai Economy, and such importance is projected to grow even further in
the future. The increasing global trade volume is signifying the forthcoming of Globalization. Thailand
has established many Free Trade Area (FTA) with trade partners, Including the actualization of the
Asean Economics Community (AEC) on January 1st, 2016, and according to the draft of the National
Economic and Social Development Plan No. 12 (BE 2560 - 2564), the increment in export volume is
part of Thailand’s main strategy in strengthening the economy. These factors are boosting the growth
of Thailand’s international trade.
There are many Macro Economic factors that look to help drive Thailand’s import and export volume
in the future. Such drives would also be beneficial to the Thai commercial port and terminal industry.
The most important factor is that Thailand has a geographic advantage, located in the heart of ASEAN.
The coastline is prime to be developed into a deep-sea port; connecting land, sea and air together.
Thailand’s borders are connected to other major economies such as Singapore, Malaysia, China and
Vietnam, as well as being an important gateway to emerging economies; the rapid growing Myanmar,
Laos and Cambodia. This gives Thailand a very promising opportunity to become the logistics center
of ASEAN.
There are many solid efforts from both public and private sectors to promote Thailand as ASEAN’s
logistics center. Especially the Thai government’s efforts, such as granting tax privileges for an
establishment of International Headquarters (IHQ) and International Trading Center (ITC) in Thailand.
The vast investment in logistics infrastructures, for example, the Double Track Railway and High-
Speed Train projects to connect the East – West Economic Corridor (EWEC) and the North – South
Economic Corridor (NSEC). The plan to develop another trade route between ASEAN, Southern China
and the upper Mekong countries via Chiang Saen Port. The commercialization of U-Tapao airport.
Thailand is aiming to domesticate the GMS Economic Corridors.
Investments from private sectors shared equal importance in championing Thailand as the region’s
logistics center. With plenty of manufacturing investments; raw materials and finished products are
cycled in and out of the country making a healthy environment for the port and terminal industry to
thrive on.
The Ministry of Industry's Strategic Plan for Thai Industrial Development 4.0, 20 years’ phase (B.E.
2560 – 2579) (Thailand Development Model 4.0), aims to drive the Thai economy with domestic
                                                                                                     24
