Message from the Chairman

On behalf of the Board of Directors, management, and employees of Techlead NPN Public Company Limited, I would like to thank all shareholders, investors, business partners, and stakeholders for their trust and confidence in our company throughout this year of transformation. Your continued support has been crucial in enabling us to navigate this significant strategic shift and build a solid foundation for future growth.

2025 will be a pivotal year for Techlead NPN Public Company Limited, marking the beginning of a strategic transformation from a traditional hemp and cannabis business to a technology company. This transformation is not only an attempt to reduce our dependence on revenue from the hemp and cannabis business, but also a commitment to becoming a leader in digital innovation, leveraging the opportunities presented by Thailand's digital transformation.

The success of this initial transformation stems from the understanding and support of our shareholders, reflected in the resolutions passed at the 2025 Shareholders' Meeting, which approved the company's proposals, providing the necessary funding and strategic direction to realize our vision of becoming a technology-driven company. This includes changing the company name from Eternal Energy Public Company Limited to Techlead NPN Public Company Limited to reflect our commitment to being a technology-driven organization.

Under a cautious and rational business transition period, focusing on long-term and consistent growth, we aim to generate consistent cash flow with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of no less than 12% (which is higher than the hemp and cannabis business, currently facing regulatory challenges). Coupled with the funds raised from the issuance and offering of securities as resolved by the shareholders' meeting, the investment in PayGenix Company Limited (formerly GUPay Company Limited), a payment gateway solution provider, has shown clear success, demonstrating satisfactory performance since the second quarter of 2025. This confirms that we are on the right track with our technology strategy to generate consistent and sustainable returns, aligning with the company's approach of building a diversified portfolio in line with global digital trends, including: 1) payment gateway solutions, 2) technology media platforms, 3) marketplace platforms for e-commerce, and 4) software development services.

The company recognizes that change comes with risks and challenges. However, on behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I affirm and am confident that the strategic direction approved by shareholders, which is a transition to a technology and innovation-driven organization, will enable Techlead NPN Public Company Limited to create sustainable value for all stakeholders.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all stakeholders, including shareholders, business partners, and all relevant parties, for their continued support and trust in the company. I would also like to thank the Board of Directors, management, and all employees for their dedication and commitment to performing their duties with utmost ability and effort.
