The SET and the Securities and Exchange Commission are pushing a draft law to allow Dual-Class Shares, where one share can carry 2 or 5 votes while dividends stay equal. It is expected to take about 1-2 months to clear legal steps before cabinet. It would apply to new IPOs after it takes effect, and could also let large listed companies such as PTT or Krungthai sell more shares while keeping control. For a typical SME owner, nothing changes now. If you plan to list or raise equity later, it is worth watching, since the stated goal is to lift the stock index toward 2,000 points, which the article presents as an aspiration rather than a forecast.
