Bangkok--8 May--SET To improve information dissemination and investor relations (IR), Thailand’s Market for Alternative Investment (mai), together with Solution Corner (1998) PCL, or (SLC), mai’s first listed software firm, is producing mai-listed firms’ annual reports in electronic book (e-book) format on www.mai.or.th and www.iloveLibrary.com “The e-book option was implemented because annual report files may be too large to allow easy access for some people via the website or The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)’s information distribution system. It also enhances listed companies information dissemination and IR,” mai President Chanitr Charnchainarong said. Annual reports enable investors to learn about companies’ fundamentals, e.g., operations, shareholding structure, or risk factors, and to better manage their investments, Mr. Chanitr added. News and information in digital format allows for faster and easier dissemination and consumption, which is what people want,” SLC Chairman and Managing Director Nitat Maneesilasan said. “E-book annual reports can be viewed using the ‘I Love Library’ software developed by SLC. It is a convenient way to read these reports, as the e-book does not need to be downloaded and can be adjusted to suit the individual reader. The e-book viewer can be downloaded from www.iloveLibrary.com,” Mr. Nitat concluded.
