GIL is committed to maintaining high standards of disclosure and corporate transparency with members of the investment community and investing public. The Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures in relation to compliance with the disclosure requirements under the SGX-ST Listing Rules, having regard to the recommendations of the Singapore Code. GIL has developed a shareholder communication policy. This policy is designed to ensure the delivery of timely and relevant information to shareholders. The Manager facilitates regular and effective communication in an open and non-discriminatory approach on GIL’s performance and business developments.

GIL reports quarterly financial results on a regular and timely basis, within 45 days after the end of each quarter via SGXNET and the Company’s website. The corporate website provides shareholders and the investment community with key information. Annual reports, quarterly results, presentations and announcements to SGX are available on the website. Other relevant information, including shares and dividends information, shareholder meetings and research reports are also hosted on the website.

GIL will conduct briefing for the media and analyst when announcing the full-year result.

Principle 15: Shareholder Rights and Conduct of Shareholder Meetings.

GIL supports active shareholder participation at AGMs. At least 21 days before the AGM, Notice of the Meeting, meeting agenda and related information will be sent out to provide shareholders with sufficient time to receive, review the Notice, and reply with their attendance. GIL holds its AGM at a central location which is easily accessible by public transportation.

A registered shareholder who is unable to attend may appoint proxies, beyond the 2-proxy rule, subject to the Chairman’s approval to attend General Meetings, speak and vote in place of the shareholder.

There will be distinct resolutions at general meetings on each substantially separate issue. All resolutions will be conducted by poll voting. Shareholders attending the general meeting would have the opportunity to ask questions on proposed resolutions and the voting procedure would be communicated to the shareholders at the meeting. An announcement of the detailed results of voting from the AGM showing the number of votes cast for and against each resolution and the respective percentage will be published.

The Chairman of each of the Board Committee will be present in person or by phone, and the external auditors are also invited to address relevant queries from Shareholders.
