Importance Disclaimers

 

By accepting delivery of this notification (the “Notice of Subscription Rights”) of rights to subscribe for newly issued ordinary shares (the “New Shares”) of Berli Jucker Public Company Limited (the “Company”), shareholders acknowledge and agree to the disclaimers and conditions set forth below.

 

This offering of New Shares to existing shareholders of the Company in proportion to their respective shareholdings is an offering of securities in Thailand pursuant to Section 33 of the Securities and Exchange Act B.E. 2535 (as amended) and will only take place in Thailand. These New Shares (i) have not been and will not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other securities regulatory authority, or under the U.S. Securities Act of 1993 (the “Securities Act”) or the laws of any other jurisdiction, and (ii) may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States of America, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state or local securities laws.

 

The shareholders are prohibited to disclose, publish or distribute the Notice of Subscription Rights, whether in whole or in part. The Company urges shareholders who accept delivery of this Notice of Subscription Rights to rely upon their own examination of the restrictions regarding investments in securities and offerings to sell securities in their countries of domicile or nationality. The Company will not be responsible for any violation of any of these restrictions by any person. The shareholders warrant that they are not restricted under any law of any jurisdiction from subscribing for the New Shares and that subscription by the shareholders for the New Shares will not be a violation of any applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction.

 

Notice to US shareholders:

 

This rights offering is made for the securities of a foreign company. The offer is subject to the disclosure requirements of a foreign country that are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included in the document, if any, have been prepared in accordance with foreign accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

 

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the federal securities laws, since the issuer is located in a foreign country, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a foreign country. You may not be able to sue the foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Berli Jucker Public Company Limited (the “Company”) No. 2/2016, convened on 29 June 2016, resolved to approve the capital increase of Baht 2,400,000,000 from the existing registered capital to the new registered capital of Baht 4,053,955,000 by means of issuing 2,400,000,000 newly-issued ordinary shares with a par value of Baht 1.00 per share in order to accommodate the allocation of the newly-issued ordinary shares to the existing shareholders proportionate to their respective shareholdings (Rights Offering), as follows:

 

(1)To allocate not exceeding 800,000,000 newly-issued ordinary shares to the specific investors (Private Placement);

 

(2)To allocate not exceeding 1,600,000,000 newly-issued ordinary shares to the existing shareholders proportionate to their respective shareholdings (First Rights Offering), having the subscription period of 13-15, 20, and 21 July 2016;

 

(3)In the case of the shares remaining from the Private Placement under (1) and/or the First Rights Offering under (2), the Company may again allocate all or part of the remaining shares to the existing shareholders proportionate to their respective shareholdings (Second Rights Offering).

 

Subsequently, Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 9/2016 convened on 7 July 2016 resolved to not allocate 800,000,000 newly-issued shares to the specific investors (Private Placement) as specified

 

 

 

  

 

 

(Translation)

 

under Clause (1) above, due to the resolution passed by Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders No. 2/2016 convened on 29 June 2016 which provides additional conditions that, the offering price of the shares under the Private Placement must be the price which is not discounted by more than 10 percent of the closing price of the shares traded on the Stock Exchange of Thailand as at 28 June 2016, which must be no less than Baht 40.5. The Company was informed by the underwriters that, the prospective investors who were desirous to acquire the Company’s shares were of the view that they had an issue with the time constraints and thus were unable to make a decision within the capital increase plan in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. As a result, it is necessary for the Company to cancel the allocation of newly-issued shares to the specific investors (Private Placement) and instead offer the shares which should have been allocated under the Private Placement Scheme, to the existing shareholders under the Second Rights Offering in order to be in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.

 

The Board of Directors, therefore, resolved to approve the allocation of 807,779,000 remaining shares (comprising 800,000,000 shares from the share allocation to Private Placement, and 7,779,000 shares from the share allocation to the existing shareholders for the First Rights Offering) to the existing shareholders of the Company for the Second Rights Offering. In this regard, the offering ratio is equivalent to 2 existing shares per 1 newly-issued ordinary share (any fraction of shares shall be rounded down), and the offering price is Baht 35 per share. The shareholders are entitled to the oversubscription.

 

If there are any remaining shares from the first allocation to the existing shareholders, the Company will allocate such remaining shares to the shareholders who wish to subscribe for the newly issued shares in excess of their entitlement, at the same offering price as that of the shares to be allocated. In this regard, the Company will allocate the remaining shares until there are no shares to be allocated or the shares cannot be allocated due to any fraction of shares or until such shares are no longer subscribed for by any shareholders.

 

In this regard, the details of the allocation of the newly-issued ordinary shares if there are shares remaining from the first Rights Offering are as follows:

 

1)If the number of shares remaining from the first Rights Offering is more than the total number of oversubscription shares, the Company shall allocate such remaining shares to the shareholders who have expressed their intention for oversubscription and paid for the oversubscription shares.

 

2)If the shares remaining from the first allocation are less than the total number of oversubscription shares,

 

(a)Each shareholder who oversubscribes shall be entitled to the allocation proportionate to his/her respective shareholdings (any fraction of shares shall be rounded down), provided that the number of shares to be allocated shall not exceed the number for which each shareholder has subscribed and paid for;

 

 

 

  

 

 

(Translation)

 

(b)If there are shares remaining from the allocation under (a), the allocation shall be made to each shareholder who oversubscribes but has yet to be allocated his/her oversubscription amount, proportionate to his/her respective shareholdings (any fraction of shares shall be rounded down), provided that the number of shares to be allocated shall not exceed the number for which each shareholder has subscribed and paid for. The allocation under (b) shall be made until there are no shares remaining from the allocation or the allocation cannot be made due to any fraction of shares.

 

The Company has scheduled the date to record the names of the shareholders who are entitled to subscribe for the newly-issued shares proportionate to their respective shareholdings for the Second Rights Offering (Record Date) on 13 July 2016 and the date to close the share register to list the names of the shareholders (Closing Date) in compliance with Section 225 of the Securities and Exchange Act B.E. 2535 (1992) (including any amendment thereto) on 14 July 2016 and the Company has determined the subscription and payment period of the Rights Offering to be 29 July 2016 and 1, 2, 3, and 4 August 2016 (a total of 5 business days). The details of which are set out in the Notification of the Allocation and the Subscription Documents of Newly-issued ordinary shares of Berli Jucker Public Company Limited (Enclosure 1).

 

The Company hereby informs you of your subscription entitlement for the newly-issued shares under the Second Rights Offering in the number of shares specified in the Certificate of the Subscription Entitlement issued by Thailand Securities Depository Co., Ltd. (Enclosure 3). The details of such subscription are set out in the Notification of the Allocation and the Subscription Documents of Newly issued ordinary shares (Enclosure 1).

Any fraction of shares shall be rounded down.

 

If there are any remaining shares from the first allocation to the existing shareholders, the Company will allocate such remaining shares to the shareholders who wish to subscribe for the newly issued shares in excess of their entitlement, at the same offering price as that of the shares to be allocated. In this regard, the Company will allocate the remaining shares until there are no shares to be allocated or the shares cannot be allocated due to any fraction of shares or until such shares are no longer subscribed by any shareholders.

According to the first oversubscription allocation, Shareholder A shall be entitled to the allocation of 33.33 shares, whereby the fraction of 0.33 shares shall be rounded down. However, Shareholder A oversubscribes for 20 shares only, so the number of shares allocated to him is 20 shares. Shareholder B shall be entitled to the allocation of 50 shares and receive the actual allocation of 50 shares. Shareholder C shall be entitled to the allocation of 66.67 shares, whereby the fraction of 0.67 shares shall be rounded down, and receive the actual allocation of 66 shares. Consequently, the remaining unallocated shares which are equivalent to 14 shares shall be further allocated in the second oversubscription allocation, because after the first oversubscription allocation, Shareholder B and Shareholder C still have not received the amount for which they oversubscribed of another 50 shares and 84 shares, respectively.

According to the second oversubscription allocation, Shareholder B shall receive the actual allocation of 6 shares and Shareholder C shall receive the actual allocation of 8 shares. This is an example for the case where there are unallocated shares remaining from the allocation which the Company shall allocate in the oversubscription allocation as shown above until there are no shares remaining from the allocation or the allocation cannot be made due to any fraction of shares.

2.Description of Business Operation by Business Group

 

The Company has undergone a major significant change in the year 2016 with the acquisition of 58.5549 percent of the total issued shares of Big C Supercenter Public Company Limited (“Big C”) from Casino Group, its major shareholder, and the tender offer for the total amount of shares of Big C in May 2016 resulting in the Company’s becoming the major shareholder of Big C, holding 97.94 percent of the total amount of issued shares. The acquisition marks a giant step in the Company’s history: it not only builds up the Company’s growth, but also enhances its business potential, gearing up for long-term growth. Big C is an operator of the modern trade business for consumer goods with a network of the fully-fledged distribution channels and centers that can penetrate a nationwide customer base. In addition, Big C has enjoyed profitable operational results and dividend payments have been made to its shareholders on a regular basis. Furthermore, the acquisition of Big C is expected to bring about synergies to the existing business. The synergies achieved through the acquisition will take the form of the increase in the distribution channels for the Company’s products through the Big C stores; hence, the Company will have more opportunities available to increase its production volume for consumer goods under private labels. Another form of synergy achieved through the acquisition is the chance to combine transportation activities and share the distribution centers, which will enhance the effectiveness of the distribution activities and reduces operation costs in the long-term (for more details of the business operation of Big C, please refer to Clause 2.4).

 

In furtherance of the acquisition of Big C, the short-term loans from financial institutions have been substantially increased. Therefore, the Company is obligated to satisfy the loans of approximately Baht 204,330 million due to the capital restructuring. In view of the above, the Company plans to apply the proceeds from the offering of the newly-issued shares to the shareholders in accordance with their respective shareholding proportion (right offering) on this occasion, as well as the funds from the offering of the newly-issued shares in a private placement) for the repayment of the loans. The proceeds from the right offering and the funds from issuing debentures and/or securing loans from financial institutions and/or issuing bills of exchange for repayment of the loans (refinancing) in the maximum credit line of not exceeding Baht 130,000 million, and the Company will acquire sufficient funds for the repayment of the loans from financial institutions used in the acquisition of Big C.

 

The Company operates its business with the commitment to excellence in the development of product manufacturing process and the improvement of service provisions to ensure that the quality of products and services is maintained, from the upstream to the downstream stages, as well as to be the leading distributor of daily consumer products in order to satisfy the everyday needs of the consumers. The Company has expanded its business continuously with the current business operation classified into five major business groups.

 

2.1Packaging Supply Chain

 

(1)Description of Products or Services

The production of a broad range of glass packaging including both reusable and lightweight types of narrow-mouth and wide-mouth bottles is operated by Thai Glass Industries Public Company Limited (“TGI”) and Thai Malaya Glass Co., Ltd. (“TMG”). The Glass Product Division was responsible for the marketing and distribution of all glass products in the first quarter of 2014. TMG later took over the marketing and distribution all glass products produced by TGI and

 

 18 

 

  

 

(Translation)

 

TMG. The Group also offers imported glass products including lug cap or twist-off types of narrow-mouth and wide-mouth bottles.

 

In addition, the Company teamed up with Owens-Illinois Inc., the world’s largest glass container manufacturer from USA., to form a joint venture, namely BJC O-I Glass Pte. Ltd. (“BJC O-I”) to make investments in Malaya Glass Products Sdn Bhd (“MGP”) and Malaya Vietnam Glass Limited (“MVG”), a manufacturer and distributor of the glass bottle containers in various forms, including those for beer, spirits, beverages, and food products, which are marketed to large industry groups domestically and internationally.

 

(1.2)Aluminum Can Business

 

The Company conducts its aluminum packaging products for holding beverages including cans and lids with printing customization options for customers through Thai Beverage Can Co., Ltd. (“TBC”).

 

TBC also teamed up with Ball Corporation Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of packaging products from USA, to jointly establish an aluminium can factory in Vietnam under TBC-Ball Beverage Can Vietnam Limited (“TBC-BALL VN”) in order to produce and distribute aluminium beverage cans, as well as to import and distribute aluminium beverage can lids.

 

(1.3)Plastic Packaging Business

 

Berli Dynoplast Co., Ltd.

3.Lubricating oils, e.g. bottles and lids for engine oil

 

4.Medicine and medical equipment

 

5.Plastic parts

 

(2)Marketing and Competition

 

(2.1)Glass Packaging Business Marketing Strategy

 

Marketing Strategy

 

The marketing strategy of the Company for glass packaging is to expand the market both domestically and internationally by distinguishing itself from its competitors by means of producing high-quality products and launching new products to demonstrate its ability to offer a wide variety of products; developing

 

 19 

 

 

 

 

(Translation)

 

and fine-tuning the characteristics of the products; expanding the quality of the service provision; coming up with new technologies that will allow for production processes that use fewer resources and are more environmentally-friendly; as well as developing a standardized system for its work operations with a view to best meet the market demand.

 

The Company has a policy to establish strategic alliances with other companies in order to meet the demand of the companies holding the Company’s shares and that of other customers in terms of both quantity and quality. It is prepared for the increase in production capacity for the purpose of accommodating the growth of its customer base and has also expanded the same by means of acquiring new customers both domestically and internationally.

 

Competition in Industry

 

Considering that the glass packaging industry is a business that requires a large amount of investment funds and advanced technology, and the fact that a continuous and sufficient influx of purchase orders is required for 24-hr production during the entire year, it is difficult for emerging manufacturers to establish a position in the industry. There are currently four major glass packaging manufacturers in Thailand, each with its own primary customer base.

 

The Company is able to maintain its competitive advantage over its international competitors due to the fact that the import of glass bottles from overseas incurs high transportation costs and is subject to high import tax rates because of the large size and heavy weight of the glass bottles and disposable packaging materials used for transport. As such, there is little competition from companies overseas.

 

The production of glass bottles entails high advantages over other types of packaging such as aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and paper boxes. This is because there is no reaction between the glass bottles and their contents, thus making them very safe to use as containers. Glass bottles can also be re-used many times, which then reduces the cost of the ready-made products. Moreover, glass bottles that are no longer used or culled can be used for continually producing new glass bottles with the very same quality as the original bottles. In addition, glass containers also make the products more attractive overall.

 

The slowdown of the global economy continued throughout 2015. A number of countries were still in the process of economic recovery, thus the purchasing capacity of consumers was still relatively low. This had a negative impact on the Thai economy, which was heavily dependent on its exports, and this, coupled with other domestic factors, resulted in Thailand’s slow economic growth rate. In addition, new manufacturers are becoming more aggressive with their marketing initiatives by employing competitive pricing strategies, thus resulting in a highly competitive environment in the beverage bottle market in terms of pricing. However, due to the Company’s efficient management, it was able to expand its customer base in the food and carbonated beverage group and increase its production efficiency, and consequently performed even better than the expected targets.

(2.2)Aluminum Can Business

 

Marketing Strategy

 

In 2015, TBC’s sales volume increased from the sales volume in 2014 by approximately 16 percent, with a domestic and international sales proportion of approximately 72 and 28 percent, respectively. TBC’s primary customers in Thailand are, for example, Beer Thai (1991) Public Company Limited, C.T. Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Thai Asia Pacific Brewery Co., Ltd., Carabao Tawandang Co., Ltd., Serm Suk Public Company Limited, and Boon Rawd Brewery Co., Ltd. etc. TBC’s primary customers overseas are, for example, F&N Beverages Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. Malaysia, Cambrew Limited (Cambodia), Lao Brewery Co., Ltd., and Coca-Cola Pinya Beverages Myanmar Ltd. etc.

 

In 2015, TBC-BALL VN’s sales volume increased from the sales volume in 2014 by approximately 20.7 percent. Vietnam’s population is approximately 90 million, with over 60 per cent of its population between the ages of 15 and 54. There is, therefore, a high demand for aluminum cans. Products are also exported to customers based overseas, with a domestic and international sales portion of approximately 81 percent and 19 percent, respectively. The primary domestic customers are VBL (Heineken), HVB (Carlsberg), Pepsi Vietnam, and Coca-Cola Vietnam. The primary international customers are Coca-Cola Cambodia and Coca-Cola Pinya Beverages Myanmar Ltd.

 

Competition in Industry

 

The production process of aluminum cans requires advanced technology in order to maintain low production costs through mass production. As such, there are only a few competitors in the industry. In 2015, there were a total of four aluminum can manufacturers in Thailand, and TBC is one of the largest manufacturers.

 

(2.3)Plastic Packaging Business

 

Marketing Strategy

 

The Company engages in business with customers that are leading manufacturers with the highest standards at the global level. The Company’s major customers in this industry are Johnson & Johnson (Thailand) Ltd., Unilever Thai Trading Ltd., Beiersdorf (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Mead Johnson Nutrition (Thailand) Ltd., FrieslandCampina (Thailand) Public Company Limited, and Pepsi-Cola (Thai) Trading Co., Ltd.

 

Competition in Industry

 

BDP is a packaging manufacturer which produces high-quality products for the consumer market. There are approximately five major manufacturers in this industry. The major manufacturers increase their production volumes in order to accommodate market needs at all times. Investments in the manpower, production process and technology requires a high amount of funding, thus making it difficult for new manufacturers to compete in the market.

(2)Marketing and Competition

 

(2.1)Food Products Business

 

Marketing Strategy

 

BJF focused on differentiating “Testo Fit” fried potato chips in order for the product to become the target customer group’s favourite by designing new forms and flavour to encourage consumption and by performing marketing activities to emphasize the product’s brand and increase the frequency of purchase. With respect to “Party” and “Campus”, BJF still focuses on emphasizing the products’ brands and increase the frequency of purchase by introducing new products and promotional sales and marketing activities. For “Campus Choco Drink”, BJF has continuously been arranging marketing and promotional activities to increase customer’s awareness and favour towards the product. These operations are managed by the Food Products Unit of the Company.

 

TDC focused on differentiating “Activia” yoghurt drink and yoghurt in order for the product to become the target customer group’s favourite, as well as designing new form and flavours of the product in order to increase its attractiveness and purchase volume, such as, “Pop ‘n Go” drinking yoghurt, etc. The manufacturing, marketing, and sales activities of the products for other channels which are modern retail stores (modern trade), are operated by TDC and the Company.

 

 29 

 

  

 

(Translation)

 

The Food Products Unit of the Company conducts marketing and distribution of food products via four major channels namely: (1) modern trade stores, e.g. hyper markets, super markets, and Cash & Carry Convenience Stores; (2) convenience stores located in gas stations; (3) traditional trade stores; and (4) exportation to neighbouring countries, such as, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos, by appointing a representative in each country.

 

Competition in the Industry

 

At present, there are numbers of entrepreneurs in the snacks market and other substitute products market, resulting in high competition. Therefore, most of the manufacturers have no choice but to use advertising and promotional activities in order to build up their brand awareness towards the consumers. In this regard, according to the market share survey of the year 2015 prepared by Nielsen, the first three major entrepreneurs had a market share of 50 percent of the total market value, with BJF the second in the snack market. BJF’s competitors in the snack market are Frito-Lay Thailand Co., Ltd., Useful Food Co., Ltd., Premier Marketing Public Company Limited, and Friendship Co., Ltd., etc.

 

There is high competition in the yoghurt drink and yoghurt market. There are also a number of entrepreneurs who continuously launch new products and sales promotions resulting in easy market shift as the consumers tend to try new products and change from one brand to another. In addition, each brand uses continuous advertising and sales promotions as their strategy to attract consumers.

 

Most of the food products which have been distributed by the Marketing Unit are in the snacks and drinks categories, having the market value of more than Baht 60,000 million per annum, along with a continuous growth rate. Furthermore, it is the nature of the said products to be rapidly and frequently sold, and as the target customers of the products are children, teenagers, and young people, the competition in the market is at full scale and intense. The forms of competition can be seen in various types of advertising media and public relations via media such as television, magazine, radio, and social media, as well as direct sales promotions to the consumers at the sales location, whether hyper market, supermarket, modern trade, or traditional trade.

 

(2.2)Consumer Products Business

 

Marketing Strategy

 

In 2015, “Maxmo” and “Cellox” tissue paper showed the highest growth rate. The growth of “Maxmo” is a result of its new product, a multi-purpose paper with a customized size, continuous sales promotions, and a new advertising commercial which focuses on the usage of the multi-purpose paper with high absorption. The growth of “Cellox” is a result of an increase in the distribution of products which show a good result in market trends, new advertising commercials and sales campaigns which highlight the brand position as the cleaner and safer tissue paper. In addition, “Cellox” has expanded its market into the wet tissue paper market by launching anti-bacterial wet tissue paper. Even though the premium toilet paper market has drastically declined, “Zilk” is still able to maintain its market position, due to the sales of premium three-layer toilet

(Translation)

 

paper in place of the existing products, using the new sales campaign and online media to penetrate to the target customers and using sales activities at the sales location to maintain its market position. In 2015, there was an impact on the tissue paper market due to the decline of the economy and more intensive competition within the customer base, especially for institutional customers which have a long-term purchase order. However, the Company was able to maintain its customer base by focusing on providing excellent service. In the mean time, during 2015, the Company continuously increased its exportation of tissue paper to Asean countries. As a result, the overall foreign business of the Company showed a growth of 4 percent or equivalent to 9 percent of the sales volume of the tissue paper unit, in particular, the growth in Myanmar was at 23 percent.

 

In the marketing and distribution channel, Consumer Products and Household Unit of the Company conducts the marketing and distribution for the products under consumer goods category via six major channels which are: (1) modern trade stores, e.g. hyper markets, super markets, and Cash & Carry; (2) convenience stores located in gas stations; (3) traditional trade stores; (4) institutional channels, that is customers who purchase the products for their own use or for the provision of their services without reselling the products to others such as, hotels, factories, restaurants, and offices, etc., having the Company’s distributor acting as sales representatives of the Company; (5) overseas stores, in which the Company currently exports its products to Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, and Malaysia; and (6) the online market channel.

 

Competition in the Industry

 

In 2015, the competition in the tissue paper market was intense with a low market growth rate of 1.9% only. This results in all manufacturers focusing on launching sales promotions to raise the sales volume. In addition, the competitors have increased their production capacities and some of them have increased distribution channels into modern trade stores, resulting in higher competition in price. However, even though the overall growth of the tissue paper market was low but the premium toilet paper, facial tissue paper, and multi-purpose paper markets, which are the markets that the Company has been focusing, tend to show a high growth rate.

 

Despite the slow growth of the demand for soap products at present, competition in the market is intense. The Company, by its Marketing Unit, expanded the market into the overseas market, especially in neighbouring countries, particularly Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Singapore. According to the market research, the market share of the Company in the year 2015 showed that, “Parrot” soap still ranked number one in the bar soap market counted from the sale volume and ranked number three in the overall soap market in Thailand. Furthermore, the Company expanded its product base into the herbal soap market by releasing the new product “Parrot Herbal”. For manufacturing for hire, RIL was still one of the largest manufacturers of bar soaps and candy in the country. Customers have been relying on RIL to manufacture their products for distribution within the country and abroad, for example, in the Asean countries, and in Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc.

 

 31 

 

  

 

(Translation)

 

With respect to marketing and distribution, the competition in the personal care products and household appliance business is considered high, as the purchasing power of the target group of customer has been decreasing. Therefore, it was necessary for all competitors to intensify their sales activities throughout the year. As a result, the overall sales growth of the year 2015 increased by 3 percent compared to the previous year. The competition in the soap products, cosmetics, and skin care products market of 2014, a year with cold weather during the beginning, was high. The leading brands in the market have released new products with a variety of features, and have conducted marketing activities at the sales location, which include discount, exchange, give away, and free products.

 

For cosmetics and skin care products, the Company has been focusing on online marketing and cosmetics stores. For offline marketing, the Company focuses intensively on public relations and sales promotion. Even though the competition in the baby products market had increased, there was an expansion of the product line in order to extend customer the base of each brand, such as, “D-nee” which has expanded from household products such as liquid detergent, fabric softener, and dishwashing liquid to personal care products, etc.

 

(2.3)Warehouse and Delivery Business

 

Marketing Strategy

 

In 2015, the Company focused on working closely with internal clients in the group as well as with external clients to continuously improve customer satisfaction. The Company has also expanded its service to customer outside the group, such as in the packaging business sector. The knowledgeable and experienced business development team is in charge of offering services to customers in a variety of markets and industries, by using a strategy that focuses on providing quality service that meets the different demands and needs of each individual customer. With the modern technology operation and a reasonable price, currently the Company is able to serve around 70 percent of the customers in the group, whereby the majority are from the consumer group, pharmaceuticals and medical devices group, technical and industrial group, IT and computer accessories group. For the future expansion plan, the Company plans to provide storage and transport for cold-chain (frozen) products, express and home delivery services, free-zone warehouses, and cross-border transport services to meet and accommodate the expansion of the increasing trend in the market throughout ASEAN when engaging in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) as well as to increase the market share of the Company.

 

Competition in Industry

 

Thailand’s economic growth in the year 2015 was not as good as expected due to the work economy. Entrepreneurs in all business fields focused on controlling and reducing production costs and logistics costs. Consequently, logistics providers, both Thai and foreign companies, seek methods to adjust their sales and operation strategy to support the new direction of the business. The new direction emphasizes on the provision of fully integrated logistics services with contemporary technology and experience in various industries, and is expected to

 

 32 

 

  

 

(Translation)

 

give the company a competitive edge by providing an efficient and cost-effective business manner.

 

Nevertheless, the upcoming AEC will continuously increase the demand for the use of logistics and distribution services across the countries, especially cross-border logistics. This situation gives a greater opportunity to the Company to provide services to customers in the wider range. The competition will be more intense from both Thai and multinational logistics providers.

 

(2.4)Production and Distribution Business in Vietnam

 

Marketing Strategy

 

TCI – VN has implemented the “Marketing Over Sales” policy ever since its establishment, and, as a result, it was able to achieve high sales volume growth and, at the same time, continuously launch new products into the market. The introduction of goods produced a successful outcome and the products are in demand in the Vietnamese consumer market. TCI – VN sells and distributes goods through dealers, wholesalers, and retailers via modern trade outlets, traditional trade outlets, and stores for the target consumer groups. Moreover, TCI – VN also places emphasis on creating brand recognition among consumers by organizing corporate social responsibility initiatives such as by donating the products sold by the Company to flood victims, orphanages, disabled children, and retirement homes.

 

Ichiban’s core strategy for increasing its competitiveness prioritizes the establishment of a brand image that is unique when compared with other products in Vietnam. It does so by means of positioning the Fujisan brand tofu as a Japanese brand and using packaging designs that are attractive, modern, and the quality of which comply with applicable standards; and by creating many varieties of the products in the tofu group, i.e. white tofu, egg tofu, block tofu, tube tofu, deep-fried tofu, and tofu drink, in order to meet consumer demands. Ichiban’s products are distributed through various channels as follows: 1) modern trade outlets via TCI – VN’s sales team; and 2) fresh markets in traditional trade outlets and direct sales with restaurants via Ichiban’s sales team.

 

TAG is one of the five major sellers and distributors of consumer products in Vietnam. It owes its leading position to the efficiency of the sales team and its capacity for goods distribution via its subsidiaries and branch offices in each province. TAG’s primary duty is to sell and distribute the products via the various channels throughout the country, i.e. wholesale stores, retail stores, modern trade outlets, institutional stores, as well as distribution agents in various provinces in Vietnam. The marketing strategies for each product are dependent on the specific initiatives and support provided by each product owner.

 

Competition in Industry

 

Considering that TCI – VN is the sole agent for distributing the aforementioned branded products, there are no competitors whose potential as a service provider for the sale and distribution of Thai products in Vietnam is comparable to that of TCI – VN.

 

 33 

 

  

 

(Translation)

 

During the first ten years following the initial operation of the tofu business, there was no competitor with the capability to produce tofu products that complied with the applicable standards in Vietnam. Tofu in a tube form had not yet been introduced into the Vietnamese market as the majority of the tofu at that time was homemade and sold at fresh market food stalls with no commercial packaging or branding whatsoever. Even though there are currently two additional manufacturers of tube tofu and other tofu products thus resulting in a more competitive environment, given Ichiban’s position as the pioneer for producing standardized, high-quality tube tofu at reasonable prices, coupled with its continuous efforts to build the brand, Ichiban continues to hold its position as the leading brand and the top mid brand for Vietnamese consumers of tofu products. The market share of Ichiban for all of its products overall is 70 percent.

 

In the past year, the Vietnamese economy grew by six percent overall, which was primarily due to the export of products overseas. On the other hand, the growth of consumerism in Vietnam was relatively low because of the cautious spending behaviour of consumers. As a result, the environment for the products in the consumer supply chain was highly competitive, with reduced sales pricing and other sales promotions among the competitors in order to gain market share. The Company focused on promoting the growth of the products in the core group, i.e. personal care products, household appliances, foods, electrical appliances, as well as new products, i.e. gas stoves imported from Japan, and snacks and wine beverages imported from Thailand. Non-profitable products such as hair care products and insecticides were discontinued. Improvements were made to the efficiency relating to the Selling and Administrative Expenses by consolidating all the warehouses of various business units in Hanoi into one single distribution center for providing goods distribution services in order to utilize the human resources and logistics system in an efficient manner. The total sales reached Baht 3,267 million. In 2016, the focus will remain on the addition of new products with high growth potential in order to improve the sales and distribution efficiency; renovation and expansion of the distribution centers in Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City so as to achieve a higher distribution coverage; and the acquisition of a higher logistics revenue from warehouse and transport management to external customers. Moreover, more human resources development initiatives will be organized in order to enhance competitiveness in line with its vision to become the leading distribution and logistics provider in Vietnam.

 

(2.5)Stationary and Lifestyle Products

 

Marketing Strategy

 

Stationery products and office supplies are distributed via stationery stores, modern trade stores, and leading department stores in Bangkok and the provinces, with salespersons available to provide services nationwide. The competition strategies adopted are based on product quality, a variety of products that satisfy consumers’ need, price competition, and after-sales service. Stationery products and office supplies are in an advantageous position because the Company has been officially granted the distribution right from the product owners; has been engaged in this business for a long time, and has earned a solid reputation and has been entrusted by the consumers in terms of product and service quality.

 

 34 

 

 

 

 

(Translation)

 

 

The electronics products are distributed via shops and general department stores via major brand distributors and other distributors, with salespersons available to provide services nationwide. In 2015, the Company focused on organizing events and caravan road-shows of special priced electronics products in office buildings throughout the year. Many brands cooperated in organizing events by supplying good quality products at special prices, payment by installment through various banks’ credit cards, after-sales services, comprising delivery and installation, training centers, and quick-service centers. The Company’s solid reputation delivers trust for the customers to use its products and services. The electronics product division engaged BJC Commerce Co., Ltd. for sourcing electronics and IT products, gadgets and new innovative products to meet the market demand.

 

Competition in Industry

 

Stationery products and office supplies face large, medium-size and small competitors from the top-level market to the bottom-level market. The fierce competition condition is a result of the variety and choice of substitutable products available in the market. The competitors adopt various competition strategies, including prices, quality, and service to satisfy user demands for different purposes. It is expected that this industry will attract greater competition in the future due to adjustments of product and types of services by business operators, as well as the increased competition from imported stationery. Business operators are expected to adjust themselves for the opening of a larger market resulting from the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015.

 

The competition in the electronics products business can be described as intense, especially in terms of price, because products are offered by several brands, international and house-branded, with varieties of usages and small, medium-sized, and large target groups. Moreover, new products are consistently being introduced into the market. In addition, MBK Center, one of the major mobile phone markets, was greatly affected by the political situation in early 2015: the shopping center was temporary closed and business operators were, therefore, forced to sell goods at a loss or launch aggressive sales promotions, resulting in the market price fluctuation.

 

Nevertheless, the Company is able to maintain its competitive advantage by adjusting its strategy towards the business-to-business sector, that is, business groups, affiliates, partners, and corporate customers such as companies, educational institutions, and other relevant organizations, whether it be for corporate use or personal use. With its financial stability, the Company is able to acquire goods faster than its competitors and distribute goods by managing the turnover rate and optimizing the inventory turnover rate.

(2)Marketing and Competition

 

Marketing Strategy

 

The majority of medical supplies are distributed in the country to customer groups comprising government hospitals, private hospitals, medical schools, and medical clinics nationwide. Medicines for certain diseases or illnesses require specialist physicians and specific equipment. For certain medicines, while there are no direct competitors, their prices are usually costly. As a result, the costs will not be covered in the government budget, leaving the patients paying for the medicines. In face of the above, the Pharmaceutical Division has started to explore new opportunities for the distribution of medical supplies in Myanmar.

 

In addition, the medicines not in the National List of Essential Medicines, such as vitamins, minerals, and herbal products, are affected by the restrictions on the government’s reimbursement policy. However, the market for general drugs in the National List of Essential Medicines is growing and more government agencies are procuring medicines by means of price bidding and electronic competitive bidding was introduced in 2015.

 

For the Over-the Counter Business, the majority of over-the-counter products are distributed in the country. A number of customers are scattered in groups of dealers of medical supplies such as conventional drugstores, franchise drugstores such as Boots and Watsons, conveniences stores, discount stores, as well as hotels and service establishment nationwide.

 

For medical equipment, the Medical Division has placed great emphasis on being a leading distributor of innovative and internally-accepted medical products of high quality that are imported from America and Europe (France, England, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland), as well as Asia (Japan, Korea, and Taiwan).

 

Unlike for consumer products, the marketing of medical devices operates as a niche market and advertising and sales promotion is regulated by law. Emphasis is placed on education, training, and workshops to introduce the true experience to customers and to ensure that they learn how to use devices accurately and precisely. While training and workshops benefit physicians and medical personnel in terms of practice, patients benefit from accurate diagnosis from specialist physicians. In addition to marketing campaigns, the Medical Division is committed to contribute to society in launching corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives such as donating medical devices to medical schools and institutions for the interest of the public. Medical devices are donated to mobile clinics where physicians and medical personnel treat people in remote areas.

 

The target customers for medical products are medical personnel in government hospitals, private hospitals, medical facilities, and clinics. The majority of medical products are sold domestically. Additionally, the Medical Division plans to expand the market in the CLMV countries: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam.

 

 41 

 

 

 

 

(Translation)

 

 

Competition in Industry

 

The medical product industry can be described as considerably competitive because there are a number of manufacturers, domestic and overseas, offering the same products, coupled with a limited variety. As a result, competition is concentrated on pricing, sales promotion, and after-sales services.

 

The medical device market in 2015 witnessed a positive outcome with an increase of 1.21 percent from that of 2015, totaling Baht 71.5 billion. Government policy in 2015 gave rise to the demand for locally-manufactured medical devices with a view to replacing import dependency, and emphasis was placed on manufacturing derivative products to add value to existing products. This policy also aimed at developing Thailand to be a manufacturing center for medical parts and devices by 2020. As a result, the import of medical equipment and devices decreased by 11.11 percent from that of 2014.

 

While medical device distribution, in the public and private sectors, was significantly affected by the country’s political stability in 2015, the Company enjoyed a 10 percent growth rate in this business, despite the fact that some competitors experienced losses. At present, the solid track record of 40 years in the distribution of medical devices and the after-sales services provided by specialist teams places the Company on a more competitive footing ahead of the competitors. In addition, a key strategy in the medical device industry pursued by the Company is to offer integrated products and services to the greatest possible extent.

 

(3)Sourcing of Products or Services

 

The majority of the products are imported from several countries while some products are contracted for local manufacture.

 

2.3.2Technical Supply Chain

 

(1)Description of Products or Services

 

-Specialties division: the Specialties Division is the leading importer of ingredients as raw materials and additives to foods, beverages and cosmetics, as well as industrial chemicals. It acts as the agent for distributing high-quality products from leading manufacturers all over the world, all of which have long had a good business relationship with the Division. The majority of the products are distributed under the original brand of the seller, although in some cases, changes were made to the packaging or the mixing of ingredients in order to increase the value of the products in the supply chain.

 

-Engineering product design and installation for industrial customers located domestically, multi-national corporations, and government agencies; and consultations and after sales service on imported instruments, products, and engineering systems, can be divided into two categories as follows: (1) Material handling; (2) logistics system integration, by the Engineering Department.

-Design, manufacture and galvanization of steel structures for high voltage transmission line towers, telecommunication towers, and general steel structures in local and global markets, by Thai-Scandic Steel Co., Ltd. (“TSS”)

 

-BAS is the agent for distributing industrial ingredients. The main product is soda ash, which is a raw material that can be used in a variety of industries such as the manufacture of glass bottles, mine, ceramics, mirrors, and powdered detergent, etc. The Company will import the products from international manufacturers for distribution and/or provide goods storage and distribution services to the local customers.

 

(2)Marketing and Competition

 

Marketing Strategy

 

In 2015, the performance of the Specialties Division was on a par with that of the previous year. The economic slowdown caused a drop in exports overall, particularly in terms of the food industry, the members of which are the primary clients of the Division and who issued fewer purchase orders. When coupled with the continuous fluctuation of currency exchange rates throughout the year, this resulted in higher costs and more aggressive competition. The various businesses are divided into the following categories: (1) bakery ingredients — a positive growth for the sales volume and customer base was observed for this product category throughout the previous year. In particular, “Cocoa Dutch” branded products showed an outstanding continuous sales growth, and were promoted though effective marketing activities, using media channels that directly reached the target audiences. Therefore, “Cocoa Dutch” products are well perceived and serve the various demands of the customers well; (2) food ingredients and flavours — overall, sales were maintained and there was continuous sales growth for technical products. On the other hand, the sales of the products in the food ingredients group were similar to those of the previous year. However, hydrocolloids products were able to compete in the market and secure sales in the main customers group, especially for dairy manufacturers, due to the product quality and competitive price. Nutraceutical ingredients continue to be well-received in the market and are currently being introduced to target group customers in order to establish a customer base in the future; (3) Industrial ingredients — the sales from industrial ingredients was lower than that in the preceding year as a result of HCFC products being phased out as regulated by the Department of Industrial Works. On the other hand, petrochemical additives sales grew significantly from the previous year, mainly due to the higher export sales to Asean countries. In addition, new business was expanded to cartridge filters and a new line of products in the phosphate derivatives segment from the United Kingdom in order to expand the customer base and increase the sales volume; (4) Cosmetic ingredients — the cosmetic ingredients showed a slight drop in sales when compared with the sales in the previous year. This was mainly due to the economic slowdown, as was the case with other industries. However, the key customers were secured. Natural and active ingredients still

(Translation)

 

 

received good feedback from customers, as a result, the sales from these two groups still have the potential for continuous growth when compared with those of other groups.

 

In 2015, the economy recovered slightly and remained stable due to export reduction, domestic demand reduction, and the rapid devaluation of the Thai Baht currency. In addition, another key factor that caused the reduction of industrial factory expansion was private production base migration to Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, being countries with potential economic growth and low labour costs. For this reason, the department delayed the road-show activities and seminars due to the fact that customers were delaying business expansion and investment. However, the department has penetrated the market of the customers located at the border in order to accommodate business expansion into the neighbouring countries. The department has a strategy for increasing the number of consumers by procuring comprehensive equipment and products in order to respond to the needs of the retail customers such as product display, shelf-shopping, baskets and shopping carts for department stores, as well as semi-automatic inventory management systems to help customers to reduce their labour cost and efficiently manage the warehouse. However, the department will continue to expand the customer base into neighbouring countries with growth potential and good demand.

 

In 2015, Thailand’s economic growth decelerated, resulting in a 15 to 20 percent printing demand reduction in the general printing business. This is due to the advertising budget reduction by the business sector to be consistent with the economic conditions and clear slow-down of the export sector. In 2016, the department will focus on the production of labels and packaging with the potential for growth, which resulted from the expansion of the consumer industry in order to accommodate Thailand’s accession into the AEC.

 

In 2015, the domestic market became the main target, particularly for transmission line towers and telecommunication tower sections, based on the fact that the Electric Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) launched several public tenders for supply and construction of high voltage transmission line projects as well as substation and power plant projects, resulting in an increase of demand for steel towers and structures. Similarly, the domestic demand of telecommunication towers constantly increased as a result of the expansion of mobile phone networks to accommodate the growth and launch of 4G services.

 

BAS is the agent for distributing soda ash products which were imported from Kenya. The majority of the customers are glass packaging manufacturers. There are currently a total of approximately ten domestic customers. BAS has a policy to expand its customer base into other industries in the future. However, the customer base expansion will depend on the quality of the products of the manufacturers from whom BAS imports. BAS stores and manages the products imported from Kenya and distributes those products to its local customers in line with the customized goods distribution plan as assigned by each customer.

Competition in Industry

 

The competition in the market for the Specialties Division overall is high in all business groups, and is likely to continue being so in the future. There are an increasing number of new importers, both small and large. Pricing competition is becoming more intense, particularly for the commodity products group. However, products that require technical information were still able to compete. Moreover, the reduction in production costs of the foods industry, i.e. the key customers, continued to have an impact on the sales volume and revenue in the past year. In addition, the exchange rate fluctuations and the effective devaluation of the Baht currency have raised the cost of the goods and made the competitive environment more intense. However, the Specialties Division was able to secure its key customer base as a result of the offering of a variety of products of high-quality, its focus on service provision and the creation of added value, the provision of advice on the technical and marketing aspects given by specialists, as well as the provision of *operational rooms for foods, beverages, bakeries, and cosmetics. The printing department is in charge of the marketing and distribution of high-quality printing technologies e.g. printing management software, consumable printing products such as printing plates, chemical supplies for printing, digital printers, inks, and other related supplies, to customers in the printing industry such as prepress companies, printing houses, and outdoor printing media. Due to the support of the sales teams and after-sale service teams, the reputation of the company, and its good relationships with its customers, the sales volume was maintained and the Company was able to compete against others in the market.

 

In 2015, the competition in the galvanized steel structures market was not very intense due to the increased demand for steel towers and structures and the fact that a number of operators were committed to large projects in neighbouring countries. However, it is expected that the competitive environment in 2016 will become more intense despite the high demand. This is mainly due to the fact that the manufacturers wish to accumulate purchase orders for 2017. Attractive prices will be a key factor which affects the competitive environment given that the production capacities of the manufacturers are all similar to one another. The product price was reduced during the end of last year due to the steady decline in steel prices. However, the price of the goods in 2016 should remain similar to the price of the goods in 2015.

 

BAS imports soda ash from manufacturers located in Kenya. When compared with its competitors which are manufacturers in developed countries such as the U.S., the European Union, or China, it is evident that the Kenyan manufacturers are categorized as small enterprises and are not in a position to compete with others in terms of quality. However, the low production cost in Kenya is an advantage which the Company can use as leverage in determining pricing strategies in competition with other importers.

 

(3)Procurement of Products or Services

 

The majority of the specialties products are imported from over 50 companies in America, Europe, and Asia., all of which are manufacturers with credible and well-recognized brands in the market.

and the Halal Certificate from the Central Islamic Committee of Thailand. The majority of the customers are located domestically, and cover other manufacturers, wholesalers, and minor traders in Thailand.

 

All engineering products are products under trademarks from Europe, The U.S., and Asia. The Engineering Department focuses primarily on business development by means of procuring and launching new products into the market in order to create a greater variety and new options for the customers. Emphasis is placed on importing new products from Europe, where the products and service quality are trusted by the customers.

 

All of the imported printing products are products with reputable trademarks from overseas, such as from Israel, United Kingdom, Korea, and China, under various brands, e.g. Hewlett Packard, Epson, Screen, and Jetrix.

(2)Market and Competition

 

Thailand Retail Market

 

2015 was another difficult year for Thai retailers. The economic growth declined as a result of a decrease in exports and consumer confidence. Consumers are significantly getting cautious in their spending, causing high competition in Thailand’s retail market. Regional consumers have also face a reduction in income as a result of drought during the last few years. In the long term, however, Thailand remains one of the leaders in the ASEAN retail market due to the innovative design of stores particularly modern retail which has a high projection of growth as traditional retail has captured only half of the market shares. The lifestyle of Thai consumers has evolved to embrace urban living, providing the opportunity for modern trade business to better adapt to the spending patterns of the newer generations with high expectations and limited time.

 

In 2015, Big C continuously expanded every type of its branches following an expansion slowdown in 2014. A total of 101 branches were expanded, 20 of which have leasing space (two hypermarkets and 18 Big C markets), 67 of which are Mini Big C with leasing space (63 in Bangchak petrol stations) and 14 of which are Pure drug store (three Pure drug store closed during the year). Additionally, Big C has improved its hypermarket stores to more effectively utilize their space by arranging products conveniently for shopping, with five branches of adjustment to sales space to fit changing consumer behaviour, and modernizing two hypermarkets (Alcudia), which are expected to be finished early in 2016.

In 2015, OGENKI opened five branches at Central Plaza Chonburi, Central Plaza Chaengwattana, The Mall Ngamwongwan, Robinson Shopping Mall Bangrak, and Seacon Square. At present, the competition is more challenging with more players, forcing retailers to adjust and prepare themselves for the market trend. There are also other factors that retailers must take into consideration when adjusting themselves, such as the aging society, diminishing family size, an increasing number of unmarried individuals, and consumer behaviour with a higher purchasing frequency. This is therefore the opportunity to expand the customer bases for retailing and wholesaling which are important businesses in Thailand. As the political situation has currently become stable, the economic outlook and customer confidence are likely to gradually improve and the economic growth in 2016 is expected to be higher than that of the previous year. The retail and wholesale business in the next five years (2016-2020) is projected to witness an average growth of 7-8 percent a year, and increase from the 5-6 percent growth each year from 2011 to 2015. The retail business in the health and beauty segment also continues to rise by approximately 10-12 percent a year due to the expansion of urban communities, the health-focused behaviour of urban consumers, and the inception of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015. The opportunity of attracting business operators and tourists to Thailand will encourage the health and beauty industry to continue growing.
