MATERIAL RISK FACTORS Investors should carefully consider the risks and investment considerations, along with the other matters. The risks and investment considerations set forth below are not an exhaustive list of the challenges, which TFFIF and/or the Management Companies currently face or that may develop in the Thailand Future Fund 5 Annual Report 2019 future which may have a material adverse effect on TFFIF, the Management Companies or on the future value of the Investment Units. 1. Risks relating to the Organisation, Structure and Management of TFFIF 1.1. TFFIF is a newly established entity without any revenue-generating operations or any other Infrastructure Assets of its own save for its investment in financial instruments and the right to the Transfer Revenue under the Revenue Transfer Agreement. When the transfer of contractual right to the Transfer Revenue becomes effective pursuant to the Revenue Transfer Agreement, the right to the Transfer Revenue will be the sole initial Infrastructure Asset of TFFIF. 1.2. TFFIF will be reliant on EXAT’s operation of the Initial Expressways and the collection and delivery of the Transfer Revenue to TFFIF, including the maintenance of the Expressways, as well as the ability to provide service and the collection of tolls, over which TFFIF will only have limited control. Moreover, the amount of Transfer Revenue from the Initial Expressways depends on a variety of factors such as procedure and consideration in the adjustment of toll rates, traffic management and the condition of the Initial Expressways. These factors are under the control of EXAT. 1.3. Inability to acquire new assets or generate new revenue streams would materially limit TFFIF’s operations and may materially and adversely affect TFFIF’s financial results and position and future prospects, and may result in the dissolution of TFFIF upon the termination or expiry of the Revenue Transfer Agreement.
