š¢General Tawatchai Samutsakorn and Advisors Partner with Capital Trust Group to Launch $30 Billion Digital Bond Initiative, proposing the 2nd Army Region to co-develop a drone pilot training course for conscripts to create highly skilled careers supporting Smart Agriculture in Thailand
Bangkok, August 16, 2025Ā ā General Tawatchai Samutsakorn, Former 2nd Army Region Commander, together with his honorary advisors, today announced a groundbreaking initiative to support communities in Thailandās border areas and strengthen the livelihoods of farmers nationwide. Recognizing the ongoing economic and social challenges faced by agricultural households, the group has partnered with Capital Trust Group Limited (CTG)Ā to develop an innovative financing solution aimed at transforming the nationās agricultural sector. "General Tawatchai Samutsakorn recognized the potential of 2nd Army Region conscripts to be eligible for this project as a first step, and the project aims to expand the collaboration to conscripts nationwide, subject to the approval of the Royal Army of Thailand." The project's goal is to create 100,000 drone pilots.
Under the leadership of Mr. Tony Wong, Co-CEO of CTG, an experienced financial executive with a background at leading global investment banks, the initiative will issue US$30 billion in digital bonds. Proceeds will be invested in the acquisition of 1,000,000 smart agricultural dronesĀ to support logistics, disaster relief, emergency response, and farming operationsāmarking a significant step toward modernizing Thailandās agricultural economy.
This visionary project is guided by a distinguished panel of honorary advisors:
General Tawatchai Samutsakorn, Former 2nd Army Region Commander
General Uthai Shinwatra
General Darran Yutthawonsuk
CTGās missionĀ is to provide sustainable solutions that enhance disaster preparedness, empower farmers, increase productivity, and position Thailand as a global leader in agricultural innovation through the adoption of advanced drone technology.
Beyond Thailand, this initiative is envisioned as part of a global agricultural transformation. CTG plans to allocate bond proceeds toward the procurement of 500,000 agricultural drones from the United States, in alignment with the America FirstĀ policy, and 500,000 drones from China, thereby fostering international collaboration. The program aims to advance food security and agricultural sustainability for more than 8 million farming households in Thailand, while setting a precedent for global agritech innovation.
Previous CTG initiatives have been endorsed by senior Thai leaders, including a former Minister of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives and the former Chairman of the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission:

ā Statement Pursuant to the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (NZ)
1. Introduction
š1.1 Capital Trust Group Limited (āCTGLā) is engaged in the development and issuance of digital fixed income securities (the āDigital Bond Projectsā).
š1.2 CTGL confirms that all offers of financial products and financial services relating to the Digital Bond Projects are made exclusively to wholesale investors, and not to retail investors, for the purposes of qualifying for the exclusions available under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (the āFMCAā or the āActā).
2. Legal Framework
š2.1 Under the FMCA, a person must not make a regulated offer of financial products to retail investors unless the offer complies with Part 3 of the Act (including requirements for a product disclosure statement and licensing).
š2.2 However, section 5(1)(a) of the FMCA provides that the Act does not apply to financial products offered to āwholesale investorsā, provided the criteria under clause 3 of Schedule 1 are satisfied.
š2.3 Accordingly, CTGL relies on the wholesale investor exclusions under the FMCA and does not offer Digital Bond Projects to any person who does not meet the definition of a wholesale investor.
3. Definition of Wholesale Investor
š3.1 A āwholesale investorā for the purposes of the FMCA includes (without limitation) a person who qualifies under one or more of the following criteria in clause 3 of Schedule 1 to the Act:
(a) Investment Business: A person in the business of investing in financial products or providing financial services (cl 3(2)(a));
(b) Large Investor: A person who, in the last two completed financial years, has net assets of at least NZD $5 million, or total consolidated turnover of at least NZD $5 million (cl 3(2)(c));
(c) Investment Activity Criteria: A person who has carried out one or more transactions to a value of NZD $1 million or more within the past 2 years (cl 3(2)(b));
(d) Eligible Person Certification: A person who has certified, with a confirming written assessment from a qualified adviser, that they meet wholesale investor criteria (cl 3(3));
(e) Government Agency or Entity: Certain government bodies or regulated financial institutions (cl 3(2)(d)).
š3.2 CTGL shall require all prospective investors to submit satisfactory evidence of their wholesale investor status in accordance with the above criteria.
4. Offer Exclusions and Disclaimers
š4.1 The offer of any Digital Bond under the Digital Bond Projects does not constitute a regulated offer under Part 3 of the FMCA and is therefore exempt from:
(a) Disclosure obligations under section 41 (product disclosure statements);
(b) Licensing requirements under Part 6 of the FMCA (for regulated markets or services);
(c) Fair dealing provisions under Part 2, to the extent applicable to retail investors.
š4.2 CTGL undertakes that:
(a) All offers will be expressly limited to persons who qualify as wholesale investors;
(b) No general solicitation, advertising or marketing will be directed at retail investors in New Zealand;
(c) Appropriate safeguards will be implemented to verify investor eligibility.
5. Risk and Responsibility
š5.1 It is the sole responsibility of any prospective investor to determine whether they qualify as a wholesale investor under New Zealand law.
š5.2 CTGL accepts no liability for any misrepresentation of status by a prospective investor, or for any consequences arising from a failure to comply with the requirements of the FMCA.
š5.3 Investors are strongly encouraged to seek independent legal and financial advice prior to participating in any Digital Bond offering.
6. Governing Law
