The Chairman assigned Mr. Somporn Suebthawilkul (Managing Director) to explain to the meeting for the company capital acquisition. Mr. Somporn Suebthawilkul reported that the Board decided to increase the Company s fund at the yearend of 2012 according to the Office of Insurance Commission s regulation which the insurance companies have to provide CAR ratio and the figuration of the asset backed securities (ABS). At that time, the grace period of the great flood was terminated. The Company had been consulting with the Office of Insurance Commission many times to extend the grace period. However, the Office of Insurance Commission insisted on denying the request. As a consequence, the Company s CAR ratio s rate would be under average of the Commission s standard. The Board, having reconsidered the reasons and necessity, therefore, approved the increase of the fund. In addition, according to the transitory provision in the Insurance Act, Article 9, relating directly to the main stakeholders of the Company, it is regulated that the stakeholders of the insurance companies must possess Thai nationality. It was extended to include shareholders of the insurance companies must comprise minority stockholders of no less than 50 %. If literally interpreted, it might cause some practical problems since the main stakeholders of the Company, for example, PTT Public Company Limited (PTT), the Government Savings Bank, and the Government Pension Fund (Strategic Investment) were owned by the Thai Government in excess of 50%. The Company asked for the collaboration with the Thai General Insurance Association to consult with the Office of Insurance Commission to extend the period of CAR ratio s calculation and reinterpret the shareholders qualification. The Company was not able to implement the plan in time; therefore, the letter was handed to the office of Council of State of Thailand, pleading for the interpretation of the shareholders qualification. The office of Council of State of Thailand decided that the qualifications of PTT Public Company Limited (PTT), the Government Savings Bank, and the Government Pension Fund (Strategic Investment) were not against to the Insurance Act. Meanwhile, the Office of Insurance
Commission granted the resolution to extend the grace period of CAR ratio for a year. In this case, the Company had no necessity to increase the capital fund. The Chairman explained that, in the Annual General Shareholders Meeting 2011, the Company evaluated the damage from the great flood which was around 600 million THB. The Board of Directors the Company informed the shareholders that there was no necessary to increase its capital. But later on in 2012, the Company was informed of the damage from Thai Reinsurance Public Company limited which was 700 million THB more than previously evaluated and it had not been postponed by the Office of Insurance Commission. The Company thus planned to increase the capital fund last year. The Chairman then asked Mr. Somporn to explain about the maintenance of the Company s CAR ratio. Mr. Somporn explained that, according to the Office of Insurance Commission s regulation, before the great flood, CAR ratio for the insurance companies was 125% and their CAR ratio of the Company was higher than 300% throughout. But after the great flood, as the Office of Insurance Commission drafted the new version of the fund regulation that the insurance companies shall reserve their own the Retention and also those of their Insurers, so we have to reserve the back-up fund much more than usual. The Company s CAR ratio in the second quarter of 2011 was much decreased and dropped to 173%. The Office of Insurance Commission then aimed to increase CAR ratio to 140 or 150%. So if the Office of Insurance Commission had not postpone the deadline after the great flood, CAR ratio of the Company would be lower than 150% and the Company would not be able to expand its businesses. The Board of Directors of the Company therefor deemed it necessary to increase its capital fund. Since the Company paid the damages from the great flood, the Company s CAR ratio progressively increased. It was expected that the Company would have paid all the damages for all the cases of the great flood and its CAR ratio would increase to 216.3% by the end of 2013. But if the Office of Insurance Commission had cancelled all the measures to postpone the deadline and used the old calculation method, CAR ratio would be at 204% which is the ordinary rate. In that case, there is no necessity to increase the fund, unless there happened to be a big project for the Company which the Board of Directors might consider it necessary to increase its capital fund. The Chairman permitted the Shareholders to ask further questions or give comments which can be summarized as follows; Mr. Supot Euachailerdsakun (Thai Investors Association) said that this issue was questioned by a great number of general shareholders. According to the reasons explained by the management, the Association viewed that it was the technical problem. If there had been the Mega Project, the issue to increase the fund would have been accepted. In addition, the management section informed in the Shareholders general meeting 2012 that the headquarter building would be relocated in June 2013 instead of March 2013. There were several questions eg. How large is the area of the new building and whether it is enough for expanding the future business, what should be done with the old building, how the Depreciation was estimated and the measure for helping the employees,
especially those who live near the old building, and what would be Dhipaya Life Insurance Public Company Limited s future plan. The Chairman explained that the Board of Directors would increase the fund only if necessary, so there is no plan for this issue at this moment. For the new headquarter building, it would be relocated by the third quarter of 2013 and Dhipaya Life Insurance Public Company Limited would rent the old building afterwards but it would leave some areas for customer services. For the new building, there are 25 floors. Floor 1st 10th would be reserved for car parking and 11th-25th would be used for operation the businesses with the total area of 29,000 sq.m. and 9,000 sq.m. Would be allocated to other companies in connection with insurance businesses. The committee for the preparation of relocating was already nominated and it is expected to run this process without effecting the Company business. The calculation of the depreciation would be normal for the real estate. In case of some employees living near the old building, the Company would offer the shuttle bus from the old to the new building. Mr. Supot Euachailerdsakun (Thai Investors Association) also questioned about the process and the future operational plan of Dhipaya Life Insurance Public Company Limited Mr. Somporn explained that the Company had purchased the shares from Siam Life Insurance Company Limited where there were 95 employees, with 80 million THB per year for the insurance premium. We had two months left for closing the insurance premium in 2011 with the gross premium of 150 million THB and 1,476 million THB in 2012. For year 2013, we aimed to acquire the insurance premium at 5,000 million THB. We expected that the growth of the business would be at least 15% per year and Dhipaya Life Insurance Public Company Limited is expected to be listed in the Stock Exchange within 4 years after the Company took over the shares; that is, in 2015. Mr. Thanat Techalerd (shareholder) questioned if there was any plan for the insurance of new products. If there was not any statistic at report showing the damages, how would the Company solve the risk management issues and establishing its method of underwriting. Mr. Somporn explained that the Company divided the strategy into 2 parts as following (1) a shot term event underwriting such as the transportation for pandas. There was no any statistical report showing the damages for this case before the underwriting process. The Company would contact foreign insurers with expertise in this field and ask them to offer the estimated term and negotiate about the risks of underwriting. Meanwhile, the Company would share the excess with other insurances companies and (2) For the Product with good statistical report, there should not be any problem in this type of underwriting but the Company would still allocate the appropriate insurance in order to decrease the risk of underwriting as much as possible. Mr. Thanat Techalerd (shareholder) questioned whether there is any possibility for the Company to be the leading insurance company and in which year the goal is expected to be accomplished according to the Company s vision.
Mr. Somporn explained that at present the general insurance business in Thailand generated gross written premium amounted to 200,000 Million THB of which 65% is the motor insurance. Foreign analysts viewed that the proportion of motor insurance was largely inflated due to the other types of insurance have not grown as expected. A good insurance company should have the motor insurance proportion not exceeding 30-40%. Consequently, the Company s policy was determined to maintain the proportion in this level in order to avoid the undesirable effect on the shareholders profit management as well as the other types of insurance management. Although the Office of Insurance Commission has determined that the motor insurance must have the low rate of the Car Ratio, in reality, however, the motor insurance incurred the highest Loss Ratio compared to the other types of insurance. In the past two years, the insurance premium of the Company has doubled. At present, the Viriyah Insurance Company Limited has the motor insurance totaling 97% of all premium proportion. Dhipaya Insurance has the motor insurance around 23-24%. In recent years, the growth of the motor insurance grossly increased due to the government's first-car tax-rebate scheme but the growth rate will decrease this year and other types of insurance will increase more instead. If we viewed from other perspectives, it could be found that we possess the excellent customer-service standards and also incurred gross written premium in the non-motor insurance sector as top among all insurers in Thailand. If the Company wants to reach the leading position among general insurance companies, it would not be too difficult but would probably take two years to reach the goal. Mr.Thanat Techalerd (shareholder) also inquired how the Company planned to increase the business growth in the next 2-3 years and how would it be different from the past two years. Mr.Somporn explained that the operational plan to increase the growth rate of our Company in the next 2 years is definitely different from the past two years when the growth rate was a breakthrough and the average was continuously higher than the Industry Average. In 2013 and 2014, the Company set the goal for growth rate at 16% which is higher than the Industry Ratio. The Company would eliminate the more risky factors so that the acquired businesses would be achieved with desirable quality. Mr. Sanchai Udomratchatawanich (shareholder) inquired whether the last year profit was derived as the benefit from the investment, according to the Company s report showing that if there was not any great expense for the great flood last year, the profit would be 1,149.08 million THB. If so, he would like to know what type of investment incurred this kind of profit, where it came from, and whether it could be expected to maintain. Mr. Somporn explained that the Company s profit from the investment in 2012 was averaged at 5.89%. Mrs. Nongnooch Tienpaitoon (Chairman of investment Committee) explained further that, in 2012, the Company s profit from the investment was about 800 million THB. If the cost was deducted, the total profit was about 400 million THB which has increased from 2011. The Company would invest carefully and the assets ratio was
quite stable. The deposit and the bond were a part of the investment which guaranteed a stable income with a part of the investment in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). Mr. Sanchai Udomratchatawanich (the shareholder) questioned whether the greater amount of the profit last year came from trading of equities. If so, the Company s profit from the investment would depend on the Stock Exchange. Mrs. Nongnooch explained that the Company s investment in the past produced a profit larger than the Stock Market average. In addition, the deposit and the Fixed Income produced a higher standard in the rate of return, according to the report of Benchmark. So the Company realized that it was necessary to find the strategy to maximize the rate of return from the investment as well as maintaining a good standard of risk management. Mr. Somporn also explained that, in 2011, the profit from the investment was 726.75 million THB and there was 887.1 million THB in 2012. These increasing amounts in the last 2 years derived from selling the shares in the long-term port, thus the Company ran the company managed to maintain the desirable standard of investment. For the net income from the investment, in 2011, the Company obtained 424 million THB in the interest and 51.29 million THB in the dividend yield. It was confirmed that they were the acquired safe asset which was called Safe Haven ; and the Company obtained 155.25 million THB from the profit from the investment in the Stock Exchange in 2011 and 440.78 million THB in 2012. Nobody raised further questions so the Chairman thanked the shareholders for attending and closed the Meeting. The Meeting adjourned at 16.00....
