Recently, Starry Law Firm Thailand was successfully retained as dedicated legal counsel to China Resources Gas Group Limited ("CR Gas"; stock code: 01193.HK). The firm will provide CR Gas with end-to-end, one-stop legal services, from company incorporation through the application for a BOI investment promotion certificate, supporting CR Gas in developing its business in Thailand and other overseas markets.

As the group's dedicated legal adviser in Thailand, Starry Law Firm Thailand is providing comprehensive, detailed, and end-to-end legal services focused on two core workstreams: the BOI investment-promotion application and company incorporation. The engagement will support the efficient establishment of the company's operations in Thailand and lay a sound compliance foundation for its subsequent expansion in Southeast Asia.

I. BOI Investment Promotion and Company Incorporation Support

China Resources Gas Group Limited is a company listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (stock code: 01193.HK) and the core gas business platform of China Resources Group. It has long focused on city gas, industrial energy, clean energy, and integrated energy services, with operations spanning multiple provinces in China and overseas markets. The establishment of a Thai subsidiary and the application for BOI investment promotion form an important step in CR Gas's deeper strategic presence in Southeast Asia and the advancement of its internationalization strategy.

Subject to the approved business activity and the conditions set out in the promotion certificate, BOI investment promotion may provide eligible tax and non-tax incentives. These may include tax incentives, foreign-exchange remittance privileges, and the ability for a foreign investor to hold shares in a promoted business. Such incentives can provide important support for investment, operations, and energy-infrastructure development in Thailand and the surrounding region.

This engagement is another practical example of Starry Law Firm's work in China-Thailand cross-border legal services. Looking ahead, the firm will continue to leverage its Southeast Asia experience, Chinese-Thai bilingual capabilities, and practical legal expertise to provide Chinese enterprises and multinational groups with full-lifecycle legal support for their expansion into Thailand, from investment implementation and BOI applications to compliant operations and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, supporting clients' sustainable development in Southeast Asian markets.
