CONDUCT OF SHAREHOLDER MEET I NGS
Principle 16: Companies should encourage greater shareholder participation at general meetings of shareholders, and allow
shareholders the opportunity to communicate their views on various matters affecting the Company.
The Group supports and encourages active shareholder participation at general meetings. The Board believes that general
meetings serve as an opportune forum for shareholders to meet the Board and key management personnel, and to interact with
them. Information on general meetings is disseminated through notices in the annual reports or circulars sent to all shareholders.
The notices are also released via SGX-NET and published in local newspapers, as well as posted on the Company¡¯s website.
The Company¡¯s Constitution allows all shareholders to appoint not more than two proxies to attend general meetings and vote on
their behalf. The Company¡¯s Constitution also allows investors, who holds shares through nominees such as CPF and custodian
banks, to attend and vote at the general meetings without being constrained by the two-proxy rule. As the authentication of
shareholder identity information and other related security issues still remain a concern, the Group has decided, for the time
being, not to implement voting in absentia by mail, email or fax.
