GOVERNANCE PRINCIPAL C: INTEGRITY IN CORPORATE REPORTING AND MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH STAKEHOLDERS I. COMMUNICATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS The Group recognises the importance of stakeholder engagement in ensuring the long-term sustainability of its businesses. As a conscientious corporate entity, the Group acknowledges the importance of engaging with stakeholders and understands the potential impact its operations may have on a diverse range of stakeholders. To ensure that engagement efforts are constructive and meaningful, the Board contextualises each decision within the framework of relevant economic, social, and environmental considerations. Zetrix AI has taken proactive steps to enhance its engagement with stakeholders including analysts, fund managers, and shareholders, both locally and internationally, upon request. These engagements serve as vital platforms for fostering transparency, facilitating dialogue, and addressing concerns raised by stakeholders. Since the financial year 2019, Zetrix AI has adopted an integrated reporting approach and continues to improve and strengthen its disclosures in alignment with the principles outlined in the Integrated Reporting Framework. This framework encompasses the six capitals, seven guiding principles, and eight content elements, thereby enhancing the transparency and comprehensiveness of the Group’s reporting practices. II. CONDUCT OF GENERAL MEETINGS The Group regards its Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) as an important platform for communicating with shareholders. To ensure effective participation and engagement, all members of the Board attend the AGM to address enquiries from shareholders and proxies. The Chairman of the Board presides over the AGM in an orderly manner and encourages active participation from the shareholders and proxies. During the meeting, the Group’s overall performance is presented to shareholders. In adherence to best governance practices, the notice of the AGM is disseminated at least twenty-eight (28) days before the AGM date, providing shareholders with ample time for preparation. Voting at the AGM is facilitated through an electronic polling system, promoting transparency and efficiency in the voting process. The Group will continue to ensure continued accessibility and meaningful engagement with shareholders.
