                                                    Anti-Corruption

             The  Board  of  Directors  of  Minor  International  Public  Company  Limited  (MINT)  values  good  corporate
             governance by providing written Corporate Governance guidelines for all operations within the Company and

             its subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, the Company has issued a Business Code of Conduct for employees
             as ethical principles to follow in the workplace day by day and has put in place communication channels for
             whistleblowers.

             In 2013, the Company joined the Signatory Companies of Thailand's Private Sector Collective Action Coalition

             against Corruption's Declaration of Intent, acknowledging the responsibilities to lead by example in the fight
             against  corruption,  to  operate  businesses  ethically,  with  integrity  and  to  implement  business  principles  to
             counter corruption in all forms.


             For  good  practices  of  business  operations  and  prevention  of  risk  from  potential  transactions  related  to
             corruption, the Company is introducing this Anti-Corruption Policy as a concrete step for fighting corruption
             under the principles of good corporate governance.


             Policy

             To  enhance  transparent  and  fair  business  operations,  the  Company  prohibits  any  form  of  corruption  by
             prohibiting directors, employees, officers and management and agents (representatives) from engaging in any
             apparent corruption, either directly or indirectly.


             The Company prohibits any act of proposing, demanding, arranging, accepting or providing benefits derived
             from  fraud  for  oneself,  one’s  own  family,  friends,  associates  or  acquaintances.  The  Company  gives
             precedence to this policy by regularly reviewing and revising relevant procedures to capture changes in related
             laws and relevant regulations.


             Coverage
             This policy applies to all directors, employees, officers and management and all agents of the Company and

             its subsidiaries, affiliates and other companies under control of MINT worldwide in all product brands of the
             Company.

             Under this policy, no employee will suffer demotion, penalty or other adverse consequences for refusing to

             pay bribes, even if such refusal may result in the company losing business.

             Definition of Corruption

             Corruption is described as a direct or indirect offer or receipt of any payment, service, gift, loan, fee, reward,
             other advantages or anything else of value or consideration to or from any person as an inducement to do or

             refrain  from  doing  something  or  to  influence  a  decision  on  or  by  any  person  or  organization,  including
             government  agencies,  individual  government  officials,  private  companies  and  employees  of  private
             companies.
