Principle 8 – Strengthen relationship between the Company and its shareholders
(i) Shareholder participation at general meeting
The Annual General Meeting (“AGM”), which is the principal forum for shareholder dialogue, allows shareholders to review
the Group’s performance disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report and pose questions to the Board for clarification.
At the AGM, shareholders participate in deliberating resolutions being proposed or on the Group’s operations in general.
At the last AGM, a question & answer session was held where the Chairman of the meeting invited shareholders to raise
questions which were addressed by the Board and senior management. The Chairman of the meeting also shared with
shareholders at the AGM, the Company’s responses to questions submitted by the Minority Shareholder Watchdog
Group prior to the AGM.
The Notice of AGM is circulated at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the meeting to enable shareholders to
go through the Annual Report and circular supporting the resolutions proposed. All the resolutions set out in the Notice
of the last AGM were put to vote by show of hands and duly passed. The outcome of the AGM was announced to Bursa
on the same meeting day.
(ii) Communication and engagement with shareholders and prospective investors
The Board recognises the importance of being transparent and accountable to the Company’s shareholders and
prospective investors. The various channels of communications are through meetings with institutional shareholders
and investment communities, quarterly announcements on financial results to Bursa, relevant announcements and
circulars, when necessary, the Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings and through the Group’s website at
where shareholders and prospective investors can access corporate information, annual
reports, press releases, financial information, company announcements and share prices of the Company. To
maintain a high level of transparency and to effectively address any issues or concerns, the Group has a dedicated
electronic mail address, i.e.
to which stakeholders can direct their queries or concerns.
This Statement is dated 30 April 2015.
