Message from the Board of Directors and Group Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholders,
Year 2022 was a year of recovery for the Company's retail and wholesale business, following the relaxation of travel bans and complete reopening in most countries worldwide which positively affected fundamental growths of the Thai and regional economy at large. The Company has thus continued to expand the business with prudence and perseverance, synergizing collaboration and partnerships, and creating long-term value for the Company and all stakeholders by developing products and services that add novelty for customers and meet their current and future business needs.
