Jasmine Telecom Systems Public Company Limited (the "Company") would like to

approve the granting of a loan, amounting THB 300,000,000 (three hundred million
baht only) with interest of 2.08 percent per annum, totaling THB 312,480,000
(loan amount plus interest), with the term of loan for 12 months with an
extension right for another 12 months, totally not exceeding the period of 24
months, to a connected person of the Company, Jasmine International Public

having the total direct and indirect shareholding in the Company of 50.91
percent of the total issued shares) (the "Granting of Loan Transaction").

The Granting of Loan Transaction constitutes a connected transaction as it is an
entering into a transaction with a major shareholder of the Company.  The
Granting of Loan Transaction is classified as a Class 5 Connected Transaction,
i.e., an offer of financial assistance, pursuant to the Notification of the
Capital Market Supervisory Board No. TorChor. 21/2551 Re: Rules on Connected
Transactions and the Notification of the Board of Governors of the Stock
Exchange of Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed
Companies Concerning the Connected Transactions, 2003 (collectively, the
"Notifications on Connected Transactions"). The transaction represents the
highest transaction value of 32.26 percent of the net tangible assets of the
Company (the net tangible assets as at September 30, 2018 was THB 968,656,003
(nine hundred sixty-eight million, six hundred fifty-six thousand and three
baht)) calculated based on the reviewed consolidated financial statements of the
 Company for the period ending September 30, 2018.

In this regard, the Board of Directors' Meeting No.8/2018, convened on December 
28, 2018 has resolved to approve the Company to grant a loan, amounting THB

months with an extension right for another 12 months, totally not exceeding the
period of 24 months, to a connected person of the Company, Jasmine International
Public Company Limited ("JAS"). The granting of loan transaction including the
interest incurred therefrom represents the highest transaction value of 2.96
percent of the net tangible assets of the Company (the net tangible assets as at
September 30, 2018 was THB 968,656,003 (nine hundred sixty-eight million, six
hundred fifty-six thousand and three baht).

The granting of loan as detailed above plus the latest loan transaction granted 
to JAS constitutes the total transaction value of 35.22 percent of the net
tangible assets of the Company (the net tangible assets as at September 30, 2018
was THB 968,656,003 (nine hundred sixty-eight million, six hundred fifty-six
thousand and three baht)).

As the transaction value exceeds 3.00 percent of the net tangible assets of the 
Company, the Company has the following duties:
(1)    To disclose the information memorandum on the Granting of Loan Transaction 
as required by the Notifications on Connected Transactions;
(2)    To convene a shareholders' meeting to seek approval on the Granting of Loan 
Transaction, whereby the resolution shall be passed by votes of no less than
three-quarters of the total votes cast by the shareholders attending the meeting

(loan amount plus interest), with the term of loan for 12 months with an
extension right for another 12 months, totally not exceeding the period of 24
months, to a connected person of the Company, Jasmine International Public

percent of the shares in the Company through T.J.P. Engineering Co., Ltd.; thus,
having the total direct and indirect shareholding in the Company of 50.91
percent of the total issued shares) (the "Granting of Loan Transaction").
The Granting of Loan Transaction constitutes a connected transaction as it is an

Exchange of Thailand Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed
Companies Concerning the Connected Transactions, 2003 (collectively, the
"Notifications on Connected Transactions").  The transaction represents the
highest transaction value of 32.26 percent of the net tangible assets of the
Company (the net tangible assets as at September 30, 2018 was THB 968,656,003

Company Limited ("JAS"). The granting of loan transaction, including the

percent of the net tangible assets of the Company as at September 30, 2018,
calculated based on the reviewed consolidated financial statements of the
Company for the period ending September 30, 2018. Since the transaction value
did not exceed 3.0 percent of the net tangible assets of the Company, it was
required that the transaction be approved by the Board of Directors' Meeting,
prior to the Company's entering into it and disclosing the information
memorandum related to it accordingly to the Stock Exchange of Thailand.

The granting of loan as detailed above plus the latest loan transaction granted 
to JAS constitutes the total transaction value of 35.22 percent of the net

As the transaction value exceeds 3.00 percent of the net tangible assets of the 
Company, the Company has the following duties:

term of loan for 12 months with an extension right for another 12 months,
totally not exceeding the period of 24 months, under the condition that JAS is
required to repay the Company an interest once every quarter.
The interest rate which the Company agreed with JAS to pay is an interest rate 
at the fixed deposit interest rate of 12 months weighted average of three major
financial institutions (i.e. Bangkok Bank, Krung Thai Bank and Kasikorn Thai
bank), as at the date on which the Board of Directors resolved to propose that
the shareholders' meeting consider and approve an offer of financial assistance
or the Granting of Loan Transaction, which is equivalent to the rate of 1.08
percent per annum plus 1 percent. Such amount is even more than the return that
the Company may have obtained if it had continually deposited such amount with a
financial institution at which the Company generally would have deposited its
money for the same period. However, provided that JAS wishes to extend the right
after the first 12-month due of loan, the Company will consider adjusting the
fixed deposit interest rate anew to be in accordance with the latest rate for
such period, announced by each bank.

8.    Opinion of the Board of Directors on the entering into the connected 
transaction
After due consideration by taking into account the rationale and the best 
interests of the Company and its shareholders, the Board of Directors (not
including the Interested Directors) was of the view that such transaction to
offer the financial assistance is reasonable and would directly benefit the
Company.  Furthermore, the loan interest rate on this transaction is higher than
the current maximum return rate that the Company receives from depositing funds
with the financial institution. The Board of Directors then resolved to approve
