DTAC listed on Thailand Stock Exchange

“This is a very important day, both for DTAC and for Thailand. DTAC is the largest company to be listed on the SET since 2003. DTAC’s listing will contribute around Baht 100 billion (approx USD 3 billion) to the SET, making DTAC one of the 15 largest companies traded on the Thai exchange,” said Kaaren Hilsen Head of Investor Relations in DTAC.

Welcomed DTAC home

During a ceremony at the SET this morning, DTAC was welcomed home. One thousand excited DTAC employees joined together to celebrate the event.

The people’s IPO

“This is the first people’s IPO in Thailand, and we are very happy with the good results.

The Initial Public Offering was accompanied by an over demand of 3 times, and is thus the largest IPO in Thailand this year. The successful listing of DTAC will positively contribute to the market capitalization of the SET,” said DTAC CEO, Sigve Brekke.
