Communication with Shareholders
Principle 15: Companies should actively engage their shareholders and put in
place an investor relations policy to promote regular, effective and fair
communication with shareholders.
The Board is mindful of its obligations to provide timely disclosure of material information
presented in a fair and objective manner to shareholders and investors. The communications
with shareholders and investors are carried out through various channels including the annual
report, quarterly financial statements announcements including powerpoint presentations
(for half yearly results only), press releases, announcements on important developments and
material information on the performance of the Group through SGXNET and the Company’s
website,
.
The Company announces the date of the release of its quarterly results at least two weeks
prior to the date of announcement through SGXNET. On the day of results announcement,
the accompanying press release and presentation slides (for half yearly results only) are
released onto the SGXNET website. In addition, results briefings by management are also held
for analysts in conjunction with the release of the Company’s half-year and full year results
announcements. From time to time, the management participates in road shows and holds
meetings with investors and analysts to explain the financial results and provide insight to the
development and outlook of the industry. Where there is inadvertent disclosure made to a
selected group, the Company will ensure the same disclosure is made publicly available to all
others as promptly as possible.
The Company also engages an external investor relation consultancy firm to support the Group
in promoting communication with shareholders and investment community.
All shareholders will receive the annual report of the Company with notice of AGM by post and
publication in the newspapers within the mandatory period. The shareholders can also access
information on the Group at the Company’s website which provides, inter alia, all publicly
disclosed financial information, corporate announcements, press releases, annual reports and
profile of the Group.
