  Foreign Limit

  The company has imposed limitations on the number of shares which can
  be held by the foreigners at 25% of fully paid-up capital. As at
  February 22, 2011, the company declared that 25% of fully paid-up
  capital shares are held by the foreigners.

(3) Dividend Policy

The company has a dividend payout policy on paying dividends to the
shareholders at 40% - 50% of the consolidated net profit. However, when
reviewing the dividend payout for any potential changes for the
respective period, the company may take into account all irregular
situations, and uncontrollable factors, accordingly. In 2010, the
company made a net profit at 37,382 Million Baht, resulting in the
retained earnings for appropriation at the ordinary general meeting of
shareholders, the Board resolved to declare the annual dividends for the
year 2010 at 12.50 per share or equal to 40 percent of net profit.

For most subsidiaries whose 100 percent shares owned by the company, The
Siam Cement Public Company Limited considered their operating results,
concerning the corporate structure financial position and investment
plan. The company did not find any policy that led to transfer of
interests, lack of transparency as stated in the principles of good
corporate governance.
