revises fund raissing plan

UMI REVISES FUND RAISING PLAN The Union Mosaic Industry Plc (UMI) reported a decision made by its board of directors on March 23, 1994 to revise its plan of issuing convertible debentures within April as announced on February 24, 1994. As a result of the uncertainty of the demand for CDs in foreign markets, the company said it would put on hold the issuance of CDs. But since UMI needs a fund of about Bt500 million to expand its production capacity, by 6,000 sq.meter per day, to invest in other companies, and to increase its working capital, the board of directors decided to issue debentures worth Bt 500 million to institutional investors instead of offering CDs in foreign markets. The committee's board will set the appropriate terms and conditions later
