Agenda Item 3 To approve the dividend payment for 2020 performance
Related Information :
It is the policy of the Company that PTTEP, under normal circumstances, will pay dividend to shareholders of not less than 30 percent of net income after tax. According to the Public Company Act B.E. 2535 Section 115 and the Company’s Articles of Association Clause 32, PTTEP’s Board of Directors may resolve to pay the interim dividend to shareholders in case the Company has adequate profits, and subsequently inform the shareholders at the next shareholders’ meeting.
For the year ended 2020, PTTEP reported total revenue of US Dollar 5,357 million; net profit of US Dollar 720 million; total assets of US Dollar 22,493 million; total liabilities of US Dollar 10,694 million; equity of US Dollar 11,799 million; unappropriated retained earnings of US Dollar 7,673 million and cash and cash-equivalents, including short-term investments of US Dollar 3,804 million. The Company’s Board of Directors has considered that PTTEP should pay dividends for the 2020 year of operations to the Company’s shareholders at the rate of 4.25 Baht per share, or approximately 77%; represents an annualized dividend yield of 4.33%. The proposed dividend payment is consistent with the Company’s operating performance and the dividend yield is within range of investor expectation as well as within the peer group. The dividend payment also complies with the Company’s dividend policy, has no impact to the Company’s liquidity and capital structure, and takes into account the Company's investment plan.
The Company has already made the interim dividend payment for the 2020 first-half-year operations at the rate of 1.50 Baht per share, and will pay the remaining 2020 dividend at the rate of 2.75 Baht per share from unappropriated retained earnings under the Petroleum Income Tax Act, and shall be payable on 26 April 2021, after obtaining approval from the 2021 AGM. The shareholders entitled to receive the dividend are those appearing on the shareholder list as of the Record Date, 2 March 2021.
The dividend payment in Baht is made in reference to the company performance in US Dollars, and the weighted-average interbank exchange rate published by the Bank of Thailand 1 business day prior to the Board meeting date.
The dividend payment record for 2020 and 2019 are per the table below:

Agenda Item 4 To appoint the auditor and consider the auditor’s fees for year 2021
Related Information :
PTTEP is an auditee of the State Audit Office of the Kingdom of Thailand (SAO) and a government agency in accordance with the Organic Act on State Audit B.E. 2561 (2018) and the State Financial and Fiscal Discipline Act, B.E. 2561 (2018) (the State Financial and Fiscal Discipline Act), respectively. SAO, therefore, has the authority and duty to audit PTTEP’s financial statements.
In 2019, SAO sent a letter to PTTEP to engage other auditor by referring to section 71 of the State Financial and Fiscal Discipline Act. SAO or other auditor approved by SAO has to audit the financial statements of government agencies. PTTEP, therefore, arranged a tender to select an auditor and appointed the auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd. (PwC) as the independent auditors for the financial statements for the year 2020.
The Audit Committee considered qualifications of the auditors from both the technical side, examining their experience and qualifications, and the commercial side. This consideration resulted in the opinion that PwC is a reliable audit firm with a high performance record and a sufficient number of qualified staff. The Audit Committee proposed that the auditors from PwC as listed below be appointed as the independent auditors of PTTEP to the Board of Directors to propose to shareholders for their approval.
(1) Ms. Amornrat Pearmpoonvatanasuk* Certified Public Accountant Registration No. 4599 or
(2) Mr. Boonrueng Lerdwiseswit Certified Public Accountant Registration No. 6552
* Remark: Ms. Amornrat Pearmpoonvatanasuk was the auditor responsible for auditing and expressing opinion on PTTEP’s financial statements for 2020 (1 year).
Whereby one of the proposed auditors may be appointed to perform the audit and express an opinion with regard to PTTEP’s financial statements for the year 2021 with a fee of 8,900,000 Baht, which is the same rate as the fee in 2020.
SAO has approved the proposed auditors from PwC above as auditors of PTTEP’s financial statements for the year 2021. In addition, the proposed auditors have qualifications that comply with the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission and they have no relationship or conflict of interest with PTTEP, its subsidiaries, management, major shareholders, or their related parties. Therefore, the proposed auditors are accordingly independent to audit and express their opinion for PTTEP’s financial statements. Furthermore, even though some of PTTEP’s subsidiaries are audited by other auditors, PTTEP’s Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements of those subsidiaries are completed within their schedules.
In 2020, PTTEP had non-audit service fees to PwC totaling 20,754,984 Baht which were mainly for preparation of Comfort Letters supporting liability management of the Group for US dollar denominated debt which issued and entirely offered to offshore investors. While, in 2019, PTTEP had non-audit service fees to SAO, for preparation of Comfort Letters, totaling 15,000,000 Baht.
Board of Directors’ Opinion :
The Meeting should approve the appointment of Ms. Amornrat Pearmpoonvatanasuk Certified Public Accountant Registration No. 4599 or Mr. Boonrueng Lerdwiseswit Certified Public Accountant Registration No. 6552, auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., to serve as the auditor of PTTEP for the year 2021 with an audit fee of 8,900,000 Baht as proposed by the Audit Committee. This proposal has been subsequently endorsed by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors agreed that retainer fee, meeting fee, and directors’ bonus are comparable with SET 50 and the companies of PTT Group, and deemed it appropriate to remain the remuneration package at the same rate according to the resolution of the Annual General Shareholders for the Year 2020 as below:

The Chairman of the Board shall receive a 25 percent increase. |
In the year 2020, the total remuneration for the board of directors and the sub-committees are sums up to 74,238,822 Baht. The details of the remuneration for each director are presented in the Annual Report 2020 (56-1 One Report) (Attachment 1). To avoid special conflicts of interest, Directors who are shareholders and independent directors granted proxies by shareholders shall refrain from voting on this agenda unless the shareholders clearly define their votes in Proxy B or C.
The Board of Directors’ Opinion :
The Meeting should approve the remuneration package of the Board of Directors and sub-committees for the year 2021 for all items i.e. Retainer fee, Meeting fee and 2020 Bonus of the Board of Directors, at the same rate according to the resolution of the Annual General Shareholders for the Year 2020. The Nominating and Remuneration Committee has duly reviewed this proposal, which has been subsequently endorsed by the Board of Directors.
Agenda Item 6 To approve the appointment of new directors in replacement of those who are due to retire by rotation
Related Information :
Pursuant to Public Limited Companies Act, B.E. 2535 and Article 11 of the Company’s Articles of Association, one-third of the Board of Directors or five directors who assume the offices of director for the longest period must retire by rotation at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting every year. In 2021, 5 directors who are due to retire by rotation are qualified as independent directors as prescribed in PTTEP Definition of Independent Director. The said definition is stricter than the rule set by the Capital Market Supervisory Board regarding the shareholding as detailed in item 1 of the PTTEP Definition of Independent Director (Attachment 3). The 5 directors who are due to retire by rotation are:
(1) | Mr. Krairit Euchukanonchai | Chairman and Independent Director |
(2) | Admiral Tanarat Ubol | Vice Chairman of the Independent Directors Committee, Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee and Member of the Nominating and Remuneration Committee |
(3) | Mr. Pitipan Tepartimargorn | Independent Director, Member of the Risk Management Committee, Member of the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee and Member of the Nominating and Remuneration Committee |

(5) | Mrs. Angkarat Priebjrivat | Independent Director, Member of the Audit Committee and Member of the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee |
The Company invited all shareholders to nominate qualified persons to be elected as PTTEP directors through the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Company’s website during 1 September – 30 November 2020. However, no proposals for qualified nominees were submitted to the Company.
The Nominating and Remuneration Committee has thoroughly considered, for maximum benefits of the company, the existing board composition and skill mix, together with qualifications, experience, expertise, terms of directorship, the list of state enterprise directors of the State Enterprise Policy Office and the proposal of PTT Public Co., Ltd. (PTT) as major shareholders. Also, PTTEP’s Board of Directors has thoroughly screened and deemed appropriate to propose 5 director nominees who are qualified to perform company’s business and for serving as PTTEP directors to the shareholders to elect in replacement of those who are due to retire by rotation in 2021, as follows:
(1) Mr. Krairit Euchukanonchai - Re-election for another term
(2) Admiral Tanarat Ubol - Re-election for another term
(3) Mr. Pitipan Tepartimargorn - Re-election for another term
(4) Mr. Bundhit Eua-arporn - Re-election for another term
(5) Mrs. Angkarat Priebjrivat - Re-election for another term
The Nominating and Remuneration Committee deems appropriate to re-elect the five director candidates for another term since they hold the knowledge, especially in the petroleum business, which is a highly specific type of business. They have great understanding in regard to the country’s energy strategy and in PTTEP's operations; they are also well equipped with knowledge and expertise in accounting and financial management and have experience in managing and developing large and complex organizations. They played key roles in driving the PTTEP business and organization transformation to support the company’s business expansion. They actively pushed the company for organization development in order to become ready for new technologies and a competitive working environment by giving priority to organization culture change in response to new business opportunities and the fast-changing business world. To confirm the “Execute” Strategy, they ensured that PTTEP had success in operations and achieved its business goals by aiming to promote PTTEP to stand out and become well accepted as an international company and ensure its sustainable growth in the long run. Consideration to propose these five candidates for being PTTEP’s directors for another term would be beneficial and appropriate in terms of continuity in driving PTTEP’s operations in accordance with the company’s business strategy as it is intended.
(1) Mr. Krairit Euchukanonchai be re-elected for another term because he possesses the knowledge, expertise, and extensive experience in the private sector and keen on managing the large and complex organizations. He holds insightful understanding in energy business for the whole value chain and energy strategic plan. Mr. Krairit can well contribute for establishing PTTEP’s corporate strategy and appropriate corporate risk management to correspond with new business opportunities both in E&P business and new business as well as value creation for existing projects for PTTEP’s sustainable growth.
(2) Admiral Tanarat Ubol be re-elected for another term because he has knowledge, experience and expertise in security and safety especially in marine safety which is very useful for setting up PTTEP’s strategy to support company’s marine operations. Admiral Tanarat also has vision to direct PTTEP to be the world-class organization focusing on Company’s sustainable growth by having “Excellent” for operation excellent and “Good” for good corporate governance to align with PTTEP’s sustainable development strategy.
(3) Mr. Pitipan Tepartimargorn be re-elected for another term because he possesses knowledge, capability and experience especially in Human Resources Management and Organization Development in energy sector for many years. His past assignments as a Senior Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Organization Excellence and Chief Operation Officer, Upstream Petroleum and Gas Business Group at PTT and current Director positions at Thailand’s leading organizations are very beneficial for setting up PTTEP's strategy on human resources management in supporting business and organization transformation and operatorship transfer of newly acquired projects for PTTEP's future growth.
(4) Mr. Bundhit Eua-arporn be re-elected for another term because he possesses knowledge and expertise in engineering especially in technology and innovation. He emphasizes on building up innovation from existing resources for more value-added. Moreover, he also emphasizes on "people" by putting more on "people development" by building their competencies and encourage them to work with their best potentials. This will be very beneficial for PTTEP in terms of developing its human resources to support its organization change under the challenging energy business situation.
(5) Mrs. Angkarat Priebjrivat be re-elected for another term because she has knowledge, capability and expertise in accounting and finance. She has vast experience working continuously in the field of accounting and finance. By holding current positions as Independent Director and Member of the Audit Committee at leading financial companies as well as the advisory positions at the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Stock Exchange of Thailand, she has well understanding in guidelines, rules and requirements related to listed companies all of which could promote PTTEP to operate duly and to continue being a good corporate governance organization.
More detailed personal information and visions of the abovementioned director nominees are available in Attachment 4.
