Page 4/68 Opinion of Independent Financial Advisor on the Delisting of Shares from the Stock Exchange of Thailand as Part of the Restructuring Plan of Central Retail Corporation Limited for Robinson Public Company Limited Board of Directors’ meeting resolution of Robinson Public Company Limited No.4/2019 held on July 26, 2019 has granted approval for the Company to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to consider and approve the Delisting of the Company’s shares from the SET as part of the Restructuring Plan of Central Retail’s subsidiaries and affliates, including the Company (collectively together with Central Retail, the “Central Retail Group”), (Central Retail is a major shareholder of the Company holding directly and indirectly 53.83% of the total issued shares of the Company) (the “Restructuring”), as part of its preparation for an initial public offering and listing its shares on the SET (“IPO”). Central Retail aims to consolidate its various retail presence in Thailand, Vietnam and Italy under a single listed vehicle to create a leading multi-format and multi- category retailing business and plans to raise funds through the IPO concurrently with making a tender offer to purchase all shares in the Company held by other shareholders (the “Conditional Exchange Offer”). Central Retail will propose to purchase shares from all shareholders of the Company who accepts the Conditional Exchange Offer at a price of THB 66.50 per share (the “Company Shares Price”), where such Company Shares Price was derived from various methods determined by Central Retails, e.g. market price, trading multiples, and discounted cash flow, and will be further proposed to the shareholders’ meeting for consideration. In this regard, Central Retail will issue new ordinary shares (the “Shares Consideration”) for the Conditional Exchange Offer where consideration will be made with no cash alternative. In this regard, the Company’s shareholders will receive such Shares Consideration pursuant to a swap ratio for the exchange of the shares in the Company and the Shares Consideration, which will derive from the book-building process in the future (the “IPO Shares Price”). In this regard, if there is any fraction of shares from the allocation of the Shares Consideration as consideration to the shareholders of the Company according to the final swap ratio, such fraction will be rounded down and no compensation will be made therefor. Moreover, if the Company pays dividends before payment of the consideration for the Conditional Exchange Offer, the offer price for the Company’s shares under the Conditional Exchange Offer will be reduced in proportion to the amount of the dividends paid per share of the Company. In addition, the final IPO Shares Price will be announced after completion of the book-building process, which is expected to be completed after the end of the Conditional Exchange Offer period. Therefore, in the preliminary stages of the Conditional Exchange Offer, the shareholders of the Company will know the fixed
