Coming a bit late, but is the change from SCB to SCBX not rather stupidly organised? With a lot of forms to fill out, a repeated ticker change? In the proper world (meaning outside SCBX) this can be done easy: every SCB share will on 27 April be replaced by a SCBX share. Who does not want that, sells SCB before the deadline (at least that is how it is done in european markets).

Well…yes…but as the locals say “This is Thailand”
