In June 2008, the Company was selected as one of the top 50 listed companies whose securities would be used in the SET 50 calculation. The selection was made by the Indices Working Group of the Stock Exchange of Thailand for use in the calculations of SET 50 and SET 100 indices in the second half of 2008 (1 July - 31 December). The process started with identifying the top 200 securities with the largest daily average market capitalization in the pervious 12 months. The securities were then considered based on certain prescribed criteria. The stocks should be listed for not less than six months. They had to be actively traded, as measured by the turnover value on the main board in relation to the average turnover value per common stock on the whole market in the same month. Such conditions were considered along with other criteria, using the trading data of the period June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008. Other criteria included a minimum of 20% free float; not being securities subject to possible delisting; and not being securities subject to possible long-period suspension. In December 2008, the Company received an Innovative Organizational Culture Award in the "Thailand Most Innovative Company Award 2008" presentation event, jointly organized by the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, Chulalongkorn University and the Nation Multimedia Group Public Company Limited. Selection of a Company to which the award would be given was based on the following criteria. Listed companies were first selected on the basis of their average çReturn on Invested Capital' ratios in the previous five years. Then a survey would be conducted to gather information from business people in related industries to identify the 10 most distinguished companies by considering information from various angles related to promotion of innovation and success derived from innovation of the companies. The final decision was made by independent qualified judges. The selection of the securities for calculation of the indices and the award received reflected the Companyûs leadership in the property development industry. Preuksa has therefore enjoyed acceptance from customers, the media, investors, stakeholders, public and private agencies as well as the general public, as a stable organization systematically managed with transparency, enjoying outstanding operational results and financial strength, having modern and innovative construction technologies and placing importance on community and social responsibilities. |
