9. Legal Dispute between Thaicom and National Telecom Public Company Limited
After the expiry of the concession period according to the Operating Agreement, the Ministry of Digital Economy
and Society (the “Ministry”) requested the Company to assist National Telecom Public Company Limited (“NT”) in
its controlling and operating the transferred satellites during the transition period in order to avoid any adverse
impact to the continuity of services. The Company agreed to support NT’s operation under specific conditions. One
of the conditions was that NT would bear the expenses in the amount of no more than Baht 20 million for the support
provided from 11 September 2021 to 15 October 2021. Both the Ministry and NT have approved the way to proceed
and let the Company commence the support. However, at the end of the said period, NT was not ready to procure
experts to control the satellites and thus extended the support provision period further under the same conditions.

The Company has sent invoices to NT but NT did not pay the billed expenses. On 26 August 2022, the Company
filed a case against the Ministry and NT to the Central Administrative Court to claim for the unpaid supporting
.
expenses amounting to Baht 150,240,840 together with default interest at the rate of 5 percent per annum This
case is under the Central Administrative Court consideration.
