DESTINI Annual Report 2018

INVESTOR RELATIONS Destini’s investor relations initiative is spearheaded by the Group’s Strategic Planning Department (“SPD”); a department that plays a crucial role in engaging and disseminating information on key developments of the Group to existing and potential shareholders and stakeholders. The team is fully committed in providing complete, transparent and timely information to the investment community on the financial performance, strategies and future prospects of the Group. Their objective is to convey a fair and accurate representation of Destini to ensure that shareholders and stakeholders can formulate a balanced understanding on Destini’s outlook. The SPD facilitates a two-way communication between Destini and the investment community through meetings, conference calls, site visits and management participation in investment conferences to create better understanding of Destini’s businesses. Aside to being a medium for investors to be well informed on the Group’s developments, the department also plays a central role in ensuring that Destini’s Board and Management are constantly updated and given a thorough understanding on investor sentiment and sector trends in the wider investment landscape. Creating shareholder value In February 2018, Destini adopted a dividend policy to pay 30% to 40% of its full year profits of a calendar year from the financial year ended December 31, 2018. This is to ensure shareholders of the Group’s commitment in enhancing long-term shareholders value and consistent cash returns through the declaration of dividends. It should be noted that although Destini has committed to a dividend policy, this only describes the Group’s intention and should not be constituted as a legally binding statement in respect of future dividends which are subject to the discretion of the Board. It is also worth noting that Destini is a holding company and its income and ability to pay dividends is dependent upon income and dividends received from its subsidiaries.
