Securities transactions of the board members and employees

There is a reporting process on the acquisition and distribution of securities of the board members,

employees including their spouses and children who are under age of majority. The requirement is specified

in “Good practices and prohibitions of SET board and its employees regarding acquisition or distribution

of listed companies for the board B.E. 2555 (2012)” to prevent abuse of power to ensure clarity and

transparency. Committed to the good practices, SET has earned trust from investors and stakeholders in the

market.

Prevention of conflict of interest

SET has placed high priority on the interest of the organization and stakeholders based on the legal and

ethical standard. The exchange will not provide any unfair benefit or special preference to any particular

group of individuals directly and indirectly. The exchange will not involve in any activity or business which

may raise the conflict-of-interest questions. SET will not use or disclose the SET information to unfairly

take advantage in any manner. As of the end of 2014, none of SET high-ranking executives assumed

market’s development.
