Bangchak Corporation's board of directors has decided to permit Alpha Chartered Energy (ACE) to exercise its voting rights on an agenda item concerning amendments to the company's articles of association, despite initial concerns about special interest. The board noted a lack of clear interpretation guidelines for such cases.

This decision aims to protect shareholder rights and sets a precedent for similar situations. Bangchak will also seek urgent clarification from relevant agencies to establish clear guidelines for future corporate governance practices.
