Bangkok--Jun 6--SET
The Executive Vice President of The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), Mr. Suthichai Chitvanich, announced that the SET would make its news, disseminated on its website and the SETSMART system, more eye-catching to investors and the general public. Special types of news, (i.e., Investor/Public Alerts and Public Reprimands of listed companies), will henceforth be identified by their own special symbols, setting them apart from regular investor news.
He noted, “Presently, if the SET views that there is important information pertinent to shareholders and investors that should be carefully examined prior to their making investment decisions or exercising voting rights, we will ask the listed company for more information and inform investors, etc. that we had requested clarification through the SET’s information dissemination system, so that all relevant parties know that such an inquiry has been made.
“Nevertheless, such types of news, (such as inquiries to, and reprimands of, listed companies), have been traditionally displayed alongside other news. The SET now, however, considers these types of news to be more significant pieces of information that should get greater attention.
“Therefore, the SET has separated the ‘Alert News’ section from other parts of its regular investor/shareholder news. The ‘Alert News’ section will contain the SET news disseminated as a public reprimand of a listed firm or any investor/public alert, and each type of news will be distinguished by its own designated symbol. The investors can keep updated about this type of news from the SET’s website at www.set.or.th or the SETSMART system,” Mr. Suthichai ended.
