True/DTAC Pop As Council Of State Rules NBTC Has No Teeth

By David Blennerhassett

  • According to media reports, Thailand’s Council of State has ruled the NBTC has no authority to approve or reject the True Corp (TRUE TB) / Total Access Communication (DTAC TB) merger.
  • The NBTC can prescribe measures to govern the deal but these appear almost of no consequence.
  • The ruling is a positive development for the merger getting over the line. Both stocks enjoyed strong gains today. 

DTAC/True Merger: Council of State’s Decree Paves the Way for Completion

By Arun George

  • The press reports that the Council of State has stated that the regulator, NBTC, can only prescribe measures to govern the Total Access Communication (DTAC TB)/True Corp Pcl (TRUE TB) merger.
  • The Council of State decree paves the way for the merger to complete and the launch of the VTOs. The NBTC remedial measures will likely focus on consumer protection measures.
  • The current share price ratio is 9.150x vs the swap ratio of 10.221x. At last close, DTAC and True’s gross spread to the VTO price is 4.4% and 1.8%, respectively.
