ESR Group Limited Annual Report 2022 81 Investor Relations The Company is committed to keeping all its shareholders, other stakeholders, analysts and the media informed of its performance and any changes in the Group or its business which would likely materially affect the price or value of the Company’s securities. This is performed on a timely and consistent basis to assist shareholders and investors in their investment decisions. The Company has in place a Group Investor Relations department and a Group Corporate Affairs department, both of which facilitate effective communication with the Company’s shareholders, investors, analysts, fund managers, the media and members of the public. The Company actively engages with its shareholders and has put in place a shareholders communication policy ("Shareholders Communication Policy") to promote continuous, effective and transparent communications with its shareholders. The Shareholders Communication Policy stipulates that the Board maintains an on-going dialogue with Shareholders and the investment community. Information is communicated to Shareholders and the investment community mainly through the Company’s financial reports, annual general meetings and other general meetings that may be convened, as well as by making available all the disclosures submitted to the Stock Exchange and its corporate communications and other corporate publications on the Company’s website. Effective and timely dissemination of information to Shareholders and the investment community shall be ensured at all times on the Group’s performance and changes in business, which would materially affect the share price. During the year, the Company’s senior management and the Investor Relations team actively engaged with shareholders and the investment community throughout Asia Pacific, Europe and United States through virtual and in-person conferences, non-deal roadshows and one-on-one investor updates, where these briefing materials are also timely released on the Stock Exchange and/or the Company’s website. The Company's annual general meeting (“2022 AGM”) was convened virtually and limited to a smaller capacity in its physical meeting in Hong Kong in June 2022. Attended by the Directors and senior management, the 2022 AGM provided virtual interaction with shareholders and their appointed proxies. Further details on the Shareholders Communication Policy are available on the Company’s website at www.esr.com. The Board reviewed the implementation and effectiveness of the Shareholders Communication Policy during 2022 and the results were satisfactory. The Group has a formal policy on corporate disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the Company complies with its disclosure obligations under the Listing Manual. To keep the Board abreast of investors’ perceptions and concerns, the Investor Relations team also provides updates on analyst consensus estimates and views at the bi-annual Board meetings. This includes updates and analyses of the shareholder register, highlights of key shareholder engagements as well as market feedback. Such presentations and updates allow the Board to develop a good understanding of the progress of the Group’s business as well as the prevailing issues and challenges facing the Group, and also promote active engagement with the key executives. More information on the Company’s investor relations efforts can be found in the Investor Relations section on pages 61 to 63 of this Annual Report.
