SECTION 07 pg. 174 AL-SALĀM REIT STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT The Board seeks to engage with all stakeholders to maintain a mutual understanding of objectives and to effectively manage their expectations. Relations with unitholders and potential investors are managed principally by the CEO and the Management. The REIT’s business model also relies on developing and maintaining strong relationships with its unitholders, the Manager’s unitholders, employees, third party service providers, contractors, suppliers and regulatory authorities. The Board is conscious of its responsibility towards all stakeholders and believes this is an important consideration for the long-term growth of the business. Stakeholder engagement and feedback is taken seriously throughout the REIT. As such the AGM functions as the main platform for all stakeholders to interact and communicate effectively with respect to financial and operation performance, strategic direction of the REIT, and long-term strategies. The AGM notice was dispatched to unitholders not less than twenty-eight (28) days before the AGM. Unitholders were given ample time to consider the resolutions that will be discussed at the AGM. Open communication is maintained with all of the Manager’s employees. The Manager places considerable value on open communication and the involvement of employees and keeps them informed on matters affecting them as employees and on the various factors affecting the performance of the REIT and the Manager. This is achieved through formal and informal meetings, as well as annual and semi-annual town halls held at fixed intervals. The REIT also engages with stakeholders, such as engaging in consultations on proposals of new projects ventures. Examples of the engagement initiatives are shown in the table below: Stakeholders Engagement and Initiatives Investment Community (Unitholders, Analysts, Fund Managers) • Statutory announcement • Annual General Meeting • Roadshow • Investors and analysts briefing • Corporate website • Social media Media • Media interview • Media release and press statements • Corporate website • Social media Principle C INTEGRITY IN CORPORATE REPORTING AND MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH STAKEHOLDERS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW STATEMENT
