Common Pitfalls
- Transferring shares within 90 days pre-exit triggers anti-avoidance review

- Class conversion not filed at DBD = investor loses preferred rights
- 49% foreign-shareholder threshold can be breached unintentionally by restructuring
Typical Use-cases

- Company with 8 SAFEs + 3 notes converting pre-Series A

FAQ
- When can a company buy back shares?
- When retained earnings + reserves suffice (§1143) · Prohibited if it renders the company insolvent · Requires 3/4 shareholder approval.
- Is CGT owed on share transfers?
- Thai individuals: non-listed shares taxed 5–35% · Listed via SET = exempt · Companies: 20% CIT as usual.
- Must existing investors be notified of cap-table changes?
- Yes — SHAs typically include consent + ROFR rights; failure = breach and litigation risk.
