2. Scripless or Book Entry Form (without certificate)

Record Date is a date established by Board of Directors of a securities issuing company (the “Company”) for the purpose of determining the security holders who are entitled to receive a dividend or distribution. The security holder whose name appears on the Register Book at the end of the Record Date shall be eligible to any declared rights of the Company. Under this discipline, the Register Book shall be closed for any transfer for a period of one business day after the Record Date. The Record Date concept is deemed to be in line with international best practice and allows the security holders to register securities transfers without having to wait for a long Register Book Closing period.
With the fact that the Company may set the Record Date for up to 2 months prior to the date fixed for the security holders’ meeting, the application of Record Date in such case shall necessarily allow more time for the Company to prepare for the meeting and for the shareholders for up to 40 days to study the details of the notice of the meeting.

Register book closing is a compilation of the information of the securities holders who will be entitled to receive benefits from a securities issuing company upon the register book closing date or the record date.
