This strategic initiative aims to create new business opportunities and increase fee-based income from insurance product offerings. The Company plans to grow this business gradually and prudently, contributing to enhanced service value for customers and generating additional income for the Company”.

KTC Group continues to implement long term debt relief measures in line with the Bank of Thailand’s Notification No. 3/2025 on Responsible Lending. KTC assesses each customer’s credit application based on individual repayment capacity, ensuring that new credit does not impose an excessive additional burden beyond existing obligations. Further details on these measures are available on the Company’s website, https://www.ktc.co.th/about/news/measure. As a non-bank financial institution within the Krungthai Bank Group, KTC has actively cooperated with the Bank of Thailand by participating in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the “You Fight, We Help” program. The initiative aims to support vulnerable debtors in restoring their repayment capacity and ultimately settling their obligations once income recovers. Registration for the program closed on September 30, 2025.

Moreover, in situations where customers are affected by natural disasters, such as flooding in southern Thailand, KTC implements relief measures, including reductions in minimum payment requirements and installment amounts. Affected customers may apply for these measures to ease their financial burden and facilitate a faster recovery. Recently, the Group has joined the “Clear Debt, Move Forward” program, under which KTC will transfer and sell unsecured non-performing retail loans overdue for more than 90 days (NPL), based on borrower’s status as of September 30, 2025. Eligible debtors are those with total NPL exposure across all financial service providers and all loan types not exceeding THB 100,000 per person. These receivables will be transferred to Sukhumvit Asset Management Company Limited (SAM) for debt restructuring under more accommodative terms and for the reduction of borrowers’ debt burdens. Registration for the program will be available through channels of the Bank of Thailand starting January 5, 2026.

KTC Group assesses that participation in these programs, as well as the aforementioned debtor assistance measures, will not have a material impact on the Group’s overall operating performance. In this regard, the Company has already established adequate allowances for doubtful accounts.
