Dagang NeXchange Berhad Annual Report 2019

annual report 2019 77 INVESTOR RELATIONS Dagang NeXchange Berhad is committed to ensuring strong and consistent communications with shareholders and investors in a timely and appropriate manner. We have established a comprehensive Investor Relations programme that provides insights on the Group’s operations, financial performance, corporate developments, and strategy from the senior management team through regular engagement activities. The programme is spearheaded by Executive Deputy Chairman Datuk Samsul Husin, and supported by the Investor Relations team as well as members of senior management, as and when required. To promote engagement with members of the investing community, we have organised large group meetings and conference calls locally and internationally. Further to that, we conducted one-on-one meetings and quarterly results briefings to facilitate the discussion on DNeX’s quarterly earnings performance and business operations, including addressing any queries from the investment analysts and investors. As DNeX is one of the public listed companies selected under the Mid and Small Cap ("MidS") Research Scheme, the Group continued to receive independent analyst coverage. The reports are available to the public at www.bursamarketplace.com/mkt/ tools/research. To drive media publicity on DNeX, the Group regularly publishes media releases and organises media interviews and media conferences to provide updates on the Group’s businesses and developments. The Investor Relations team also took the initiative to expand the Group’s communications platforms to include new corporate social media accounts in Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube under call name DNeX Malaysia to enhance access of information by various stakeholders. Additionally, we continue to maintain a dedicated Investor Relations portal on our corporate website at www.dnex.com.my to provide timely and accurate information of the Group. The platform offers a wide range of information such as financial results, annual reports, media releases, stock information, disclosures to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, Annual General Meeting information and key contact point for feedbacks and enquiries. Internally, DNeX’s employees continued to be trained to meet Investor Relations best practices via trainings and reading materials provided by the Malaysian Investor Relations Association (“MIRA”), leveraging on the Group’s membership. During the year, DNeX was nominated for multiple award categories at the 2019 Investor Relations Awards organised by MIRA as follows: • Best Company for Investor Relations (Small Cap) • Best Investor Relations Professional (Small Cap) • Best Investor Relations Website (Small Cap) • Best Quality of Annual Reports / Formal Disclosure (All categories) DNeX will continue to undertake its Investor Relations efforts with a long-term view of establishing transparency and instilling confidence in investors, allowing investors to make informed and timely investment decisions.
