During the financial year, the Group’s Investor Relations (IR) Programme continues to provide a platform for two-way communication between MISC and the investment community, with active participation by the Group’s senior management. We remain committed to keeping the market informed via timely announcements of our quarterly financial results in line with Bursa Malaysia’s Listing Requirements. Active stakeholders’ engagement efforts were conducted by means of quarterly analysts’ briefings via audio conferencing with our global investors, where in-depth explanation on the Group’s results, market conditions, long-term prospects and strategies were shared to promote a deeper understanding of the Group’s strategic vision and performance. At MISC, we understand the importance of keeping an open and credible communication channel with the investment community as an integral part of our commitment towards transparency and corporate governance. Throughout the year, the management team together with the Investor Relations unit have been engaging investors with interests in sustainability, the environment, social and governance (ESG) issues. Regular communication were held with the investing community through private meetings, one-to-one engagements, teleconferences, hi-tea sessions and dialogues with institutional investors as well as analysts from both within Malaysia and overseas. Our strong commitment to communicate with the investment community not only enhances investors’ understanding of the Group, but we also aim to use our IR Programme to obtain important feedback from investors and to ensure we keep abreast with shareholder expectations. Our IR programme continues with investors’ education and awareness through dissemination of monthly industry newsletters to assist the investment community in keeping abreast of the current trends and developments in our industry. Our corporate website has also been upgraded for ease of information gathering with the latest Group disclosures. In promoting a more inclusive and engaging communication with minority shareholders, MISC’s 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 27 May 2015. Through our AGM, minority shareholders were given the opportunity to interact and receive updates on the operations, financials, business strategies and future prospects of MISC from our President/CEO and the Board of Directors. To provide stakeholders and the public with an independent view of the Group, comprehensive annual reviews were also done with the credit rating agencies, namely Moody’s Investor’s Services (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Malaysian Rating Corporation Bhd (MARC). In the year ahead, MISC will continue to disclose material information on our corporate developments in line with best IR practices and as required under Bursa Malaysia’s Listing Requirements. We will continue to enhance our IR efforts and proactively engage institutional shareholders and investors with information on an equal basis, promptly and in a clear and consistent manner. In our commitment to uphold best practices in corporate governance and ensure timely disclosure of material information to stakeholders, MISC continues to be consistent and transparent in providing updates and reports on our business operations, financial performance, strategies and future prospects. investor relations report MISC BERHAD Annual Report 2015 89
