Bangkok--3 May--The Way Communications On May 3rd 2012, Big C Supercenter Public Company Limited ("Big C") successfully priced its private placement of 23.6 million new shares at THB 176 per share, equivalent to a total placement amount of THB 4.2 billion. The private placement was approved by the annual general meeting of shareholders on April 30th. Big C placed its shares to a combination of domestic and international institutional investors in an overnight bookbuild process.

The transaction is expected to close on May 9th 2012. Credit Suisse was the Sole Global Coordinator and bookrunner.
