COMMUNICATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS AND INVESTORS

The Company endeavors to uphold a high level of corporate transparency. Keeping shareholders, investors, analysts, bankers and other stakeholders informed of our corporate strategies and business operations has been one of the key objectives of our investor relations team.

The general meetings of the Company provide the best opportunity for communication between the Board and the shareholders, where under article 64A of the Articles of Association of the Company, shareholders have the right to speak. The Company complied with the required notice periods for general meetings under the Code Provisions, the applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Also, separate resolutions for each substantially separate issue were proposed at the AGM.

The chairpersons of the Remuneration Committee, Nomination Committee and the Audit Committee or, in their absence, other members of the respective committees and, where applicable, the independent Board committee, are available to answer questions at the general meetings of the Company.

The representatives of the external auditor of the Company, Messrs. KPMG also attended the AGM held on 28 June 2024 to answer questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies and auditor independence.
