Summary · why it matters

UAC Global (UAC) announced the sale of all its ordinary shares in its subsidiary, UAC Advanced Polymer and Chemicals (UAPC), to ICAP-SIRA ASIA PTE. LTD., the major shareholder of UAPC, under the Call Option conditions of the Investment Agreement. As a result, UAPC will cease to be an associated company from September 1, 2026. This transaction provides UAC with 62.5 million baht in cash to enhance liquidity and strengthen its capacity to invest in sustainably growing businesses. Although the company will recognize an accounting loss from the chemical business, which faces an economic slowdown and intense competition, the board believes this decision is in the best long-term interest of the company and its shareholders.
