Siam Commercial Plc (SCB) Rating: BUY Fair price: Bt130.0 Close price: Bt109.5

Transforming to a holding company, SCB X Pcl Company Information  Event: SCB’s board of directors has proposed that shareholders consider and Ticker: SCB TB approve the SCB Financial Business Group Restructuring Plan, ahead of the Sector: Financials scheduled extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on 15 Nov 2021. The Shares outstanding (m): 3,395.63 Market capitalization (Btm): 371,821.78 key message is to get approval for the share swap of SCB with the new Trading vol/day (‘000 shares): 13,568.34 company, SCB X Public Co. (SCBX). The transaction would only be successful if Free float (%): 76.61 at least 90% of the total number of voting rights are swapped. The share swap Beta: 1.26 ratio is at one (SCB) for one (SCBX). If it succeeds, SCB would be delisted and

SCB X would be listed instead with a similar market capitalization value.  Restructuring rationale. SCBX would be positioned as a holding company Major Shareholders while SCB would become a subsidiary of SCBX. There would be three business His Majesty King Maha groups under SCBX: Bodindradebayavarangkun 23.38%

Vayupak Fund I 23.12% a) The core banking services (i.e., SCB banking business, asset management, Thai NVDR 8.91% insurance and Julius Baer b) Consumer finance and digital financial services with several subsidiaries, Auto X, Alpha X, Card X and SCB Securities

c) Digital platform and technology services; SCB10X, CPG-SCB VC Fund, Consensus Bloomberg AISCB JV, SCB Abacus, Digital Ventures, Purple Ventures, Token X, Monix, 2021F EPS (Bt): 9.73 SCB Tech X, and Data X Target price (Bt): 119.58  In the early years of restructuring, core banking services would contribute 85-

Price Performance 90% of SCBX’s consolidated earnings. Over the next five years, the non-banking 52 Wk high/low: 114.00/60.00 group is targeted to contribute one-third of total earnings.

 Initially, SCBX would be funded from SCB paying out special dividends of 1M 3M 1Y YTD Bt70bn. The dividend pay-out ratio of SCBX would be similar to SCB’s. Absolute (%) 5.3 11.2 64.0 25.1  While the new subsidiaries would get initial funding support from SCB X, the

Relative (%) 3.2 9.5 37.0 13.4 future business model of each entity should allow them to raise their own funds,

if needed.  The newly set-up venture capital fund with a target size of US$600-800m with 150 Charoen Pokphand Group (CPG) is designed to invest in financial technology businesses such as blockchain, decentralized finance, and other emerging 125 technologies. The initial capital base is at US$200m, shared 50:50. The JV aims to raise funds of US$400m-600m in the future. 100  SCBX plans to spin off the new digital platform and technology companies to be listed over the next three to five years. 75  For the core banking business post restructuring, management reiterated their capital commitment of at least 15% for its Tier-1 ratio and 16-16.5% (versus 50 todays’ 17.9%) for the CAR ratio.  Maintain BUY. SCB’s new strategy is to unlock potential future value by 25 targeting to enhance its customer base from 50m to 200m in the next five years. We reiterate our BUY rating with a revised price target of Bt130 (from SCB SET Bt114), rolling out to 1.0x mid-2022F book. The stock is trading at 11.6x our 2021F earnings. Downside risk depends on weaker-than-expected overall

economic activity.
