Therefore, upon consideration, the Company has risks from increases/decreases in the aforementioned
interest rates. However, the changes in each type of reference rates are not significant. Thus, it is not
necessary to use financial instruments to provide protection against changes in the aforementioned interest
rates. Nevertheless, the Company presently receives interest rate swap financial loan approvals for use in its
projects to manage interest rate risks. Hence, the Company will exercise caution to manage the Company’s
funds effectively to create the greatest benefits. Otherwise, if interest rates significantly change, the
Company will consider using financial instruments to appropriately control risks.
3.2.6 Risks from Fuel Procurement
In operating an industrial waste power plant project, a major factor is the ability to provide a sufficient
amount of fuel at a suitable price so that the project can manage its costs efficiently.
The Company’s projects contact more than one fuel supplier in the vicinity for risk dispersion and
transportation cost reduction. Medium and long term agreements are made to reduce fuel price fluctuation.
Furthermore, sufficient spare fuel is stored to support six months of production in case the suppliers are
unable to provide fuel as specified by the Company. This is so that the Company can find new suppliers in
the mean time. In addition, the Company’s projects can also use as much as 25 percent of RDF with the main
industrial waste fuel, providing the Company with flexibility in fuel procurement. Meanwhile, the Company
is making investments in RDF to accommodate the expansions and higher RDF demands. Thus, the
Company is confident that no problems will arise concerning insufficient fuel supply.
3.2.7 Risks from Equipment Degradation
The Company’s industrial waste power plant projects have more complex production processes than
solar power plants and operate 24 hours a day. This causes the Company to require regular equipment
maintenance to prevent equipment damage or malfunction and premature degradation. Moreover, the
Company has in the past invested in standard equipment with assurance from the manufacturers. In addition,
production breaks are scheduled for the maintenance of the main equipment and machinery and insurance
purposes.
3.3 Information and Communication Technology Businesses
3.3.1 Risks from Dependency of Personnel
For the transition into Thailand 4.0, human resource management is extremely important for keeping
up with technology and being in line with changes in the recruitment, training and retention of quality
personnel, especially since a major factor for the Company, along with OPEN, is human resources. In order
to conduct business, the Company needs personnel who are skilled and specialize in various technologies.
Furthermore, the Company needs to add to the knowledge and skills of its personnel so as to keep up with
the changing customer service technologies.
3.3.2 Risks from Technological Changes
Over the past year, it was obvious that the strongest technology trend that every agency, both
government and private, has had to invest in is no other than cloud computing. This is not only an IT
upgrade, but also a business transition into the digital age in order to increase the accuracy and speed of
government and private agency operations. It is an upgrade of organizational efficiency. Any business that
fails to adapt or adjust to the fast-changing technologies will eventually be unable to conduct business
consistenly.
3.3.3 Risks from Changes in Government Policies
Over the past year, the government sector has set policy to promote the digital economy which pushes
Thailand toward Thailand 4.0. This has been influential in the investment in IT businesses nationwide by
both the government and private sectors. In addition, processes such as recruitment, communication,
operations, procurement and finances have all adapted to Thailand 4.0. Therefore, every organization needs
to quickly make adjustments to support changes in accordance with the aforementioned policy.
3.3.4 Risks from Project Activities
Information and communication technology services have project characteristics that take significant
implementation time. Therefore, the services offered by OPEN are at risk from failure to deliver work
according to schedules stipulated by contracts. Consequently, the Company is vulnerable to fines by
customers. The primary causes of delays are delivery of products by manufacturers and distributors and
changes in the types or specifications of system installations. In the majority of project implementations,
services are provided to large organizations such as those in the public sector, state enterprises and financial
institutes.
Hence, in order to prevent risks from delayed project delivery, OPEN assigns project managers to
provide oversight and coordination between the Company and customers in addition to project owners and
retailers in order to plan project activities in advance. Furthermore, during project implementation, project
managers track and examine work plans in order to make continuous revisions and ensure consistency with
delivery schedules. This allows problems that occur to be resolved quickly in a timely manner without
creating overall project impacts.
Moreover, OPEN has a policy to expand outsourcing services, which have different service and
operational characteristics than project management. This will expand customer and services to cover the
public sector, state enterprises, financial institutes and the private sector.

4.2 Investment Policy in Subsidiaries, Joint Companies and Associate Companies
The Company has policy to expand work in operation and maintenance services with emphasis on
monitoring of power plant operations to provide maintenance to machinery and equipment in order to ensure
that power plants produce and distribute electricity at full capacity and consultation services related to
alternative energy businesses covering solar energy, waste energy and wind energy. The Company has clear
policy to operate business in the operation and maintenance of power plants that belong to the Company’s
group and/or other outside companies in the future and has an objective to expand business scope to cover
the contract construction and operation, management and monitoring of alternative energy power plants in
the future. Furthermore, the Company intends to expand alternative energy production businesses in every
form in which the Company is prepared and able to do so with the objective of becoming a leader in the solar
power plant electricity generation and distribution businesses. Thus, the Company is perceiving revenue
from the production and distribution of solar energy that increases annually. The Company expects to gain
benefits that will boost competitiveness and profit-making capabilities as follows:
1. Expansion of Business Scope
The Company is able to expand its business scope to cover the production and distribution of
electricity derived from alternative energy in other forms besides solar energy because electricity is a basic
consumer product that is highly essential in people’s lives.
Furthermore, the Company can additionally expand upon its existing power plant operations and
maintenance services in companies under the Company’s group and/or other companies in the future. If the
government agencies in charge begin accepting applications for sales of electricity from alternative energy
power plants, the Company and/or subsidiaries will take actions and submit the aforementioned applications
for solar energy, waste energy and wind energy. The Company is prepared and has experience from past
work operations, which includes acquisition of businesses from other private entrepreneurs. If offers are
made and the Company deems their projects suitable in line with the Company’s investment terms, the
Company will invest either through the Company directly and/or through the Company’s subsidiaries. The
aim of doing so is increasing opportunities and work scope in the Company’s power plant operations and
maintenance services as well as expanding the power plants existing under subsidiaries.
2. Increasing Company Revenue and Performance
The Company can generate increased revenue by engaging in the power plant operations and
maintenance business, in which work must be carried out subsequent to the commencement of commercial
operations of power plants. Accordingly, clear employment contracts are made, and long-term power
purchase agreements are made in producing and distributing electricity to the EGAT, MEA and PEA. Under
these agreements, the quantity or volume and purchase prices are clearly specified for each given time period
in order to provide each producer with stable income. Hence, investments in solar power plants increase the
opportunities for increase revenue and profits for SUPER in the future.
The Company has policy to invest in alternative energy power plant businesses that possess potential
for growth and the ability to generate appropriate returns in the long-term. Additionally, Company directors
or qualified executives with suitable experience for operating business are assigned to assume position as
directors in network companies in order to act as work management representatives and issue key policies
for directing the business activities of subsidiaries. Furthermore, alongside investment and development of
solar power plants, the Company has a policy to expand business to cover engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) of solar power plants and operations, maintenance and management of solar power
plants.
The Company’s significant financial supporters are Bangkok Bank Public Company Limited,
Thanachart Bank Public Company Limited, Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited, Export-Import
Bank of Thailand, ICBC (Thai) Public Company Limited and other financial institutes that are prepared to
provide support to the Company. Additionally, funds are also raised by other means such as capital increase,
issuance of financial instruments, infrastructure fund-raising, issue and sale of debentures, etc. If the
Company has a need to increase its capital, the Company is required to obtain approval for capital increase
from a meeting of the Board of Directors’ and a meeting of shareholders.

been set for the Management to create a system to manage and treat all stakeholders equally in order to foster
cooperation between the Company and every group of stakeholders and create long-term stability in the
Company’s business activities. The policy on looking after the rights of stakeholders is as follows:
1. The Company divides stakeholders into groups consisting of minor shareholders, major

made by the Board of Directors in order to ensure timely and effective implementation of policies and work
plans. However, there are exceptions where some meetings are exclusively attended by the Board of
Directors; the purpose of this is to have the independence to express opinions about the Management.
(3) Board of Directors’ Remunerations
In regards to specification of remunerations, the Company does not currently have a sub-committee
for specifying the remunerations of the Board of Directors and executives. However, a process is in place for
appropriate preliminary considerations about remunerations to be made. Information about remunerations
provided in other companies of similar sizes in the same industry is used in addition to basing considerations
on the Company’s performance. Then opinions are expressed at shareholder meetings to make final
decisions.
As for the remunerations of directors, the general meeting of shareholders of 2018 on 27 April 2018
has stipulated directors’ remunerations based on the duties of each director and directors’ remunerations in
the same industry. Accordingly, the remunerations are required to be suitable and sufficient to retain quality
directors in the Company for the greatest benefits of shareholders. Moreover, if any director performs
additional duties to their ordinary duties as director, e.g., audit directors and the Managing Director, the
Company considers additional remunerations for their increased duties. The directors’ remunerations policy
is presented to a meeting of shareholders for approval every year, and the Company discloses its directors’
remunerations in annual reports (Forms 56-1 and 56-2) under Clause 8.5 Remunerations for Directors and
Executives.
As for the renumerations of executives, the general meeting of shareholders No. 1/2547 on 29
September 2004 has authorized the Board of Directors to determine the renumerations of all executives and
the level of renumerations of executives in the industry. In addition, the aforementioned renumerations must
be an incentive for high calibur executives to work at the Company in the long run. The Board of Directors
will consider the appropriateness of the renumerations of executives and the Company discloses its
executives’ remunerations in annual reports (Forms 56-1 and 56-2) under Clause 8.5 Remunerations for
Directors and Executives.
(4) Development of Directors and Executives
The Board of Directors promotes and facilitates training and education for persons involved in the
Company’s business governance such as directors, audit directors, executives and others in order to ensure
continuous improvement of performance. Examples of these include course training provided by the Thai
Institute of Directors, (Thai IOD) and attendances of meetings, seminars and training to exchange opinions,
knowledge and experience that are useful in developing directors and executives.
Every time a change of director occurs, the Company provides beneficial documents and information
about the duties that will be performed by the new director in addition to recommendations about the
Company’s business characteristics and guidelines to the new director.
(5) Recruitment of Company Directors
Any member of the Board of Directors or director can nominate a person to be selected to become a
Company director. The Board of Directors will nominate the aforementioned person to a meeting of
shareholders for consideration of appointment. Shareholders make considerations and choose consistently
with the obligations that the Company or main shareholders have with the nominated person with additional
consideration to promises that the Company has with shareholders.
In some cases, it is necessary to choose directors who are connected to shareholders with significant
stake in the Company due to obligations according to the promise that the aforementioned shareholders are
required to have representatives acting as directors in the Company. However, beyond the aforementioned
cases, persons selected to become directors in the Company are chosen based on the following qualifications:
- Experience
- Knowledge
- Integrity
- Overall understanding of this industry.
(6) Number of Companies in which Each Company Director Can Hold a Position
Company directors can hold position as directors in other companies. However, such directorships in
other companies must not hinder their duties as directors of the Company. In addition, the Company has a
policy to assign directors and executives as directors and executives in subsidiaries in order to provide close
work supervision.
