Stakeholders are also able to subscribe to e-mail alerts from the Group via the Investor Relations page. II. Conduct of General Meetings The AGM is the principal forum for dialogue with shareholders, allowing shareholders to review the Group’s performance via the Group’s annual report and pose questions to the Board for clarification. To ensure shareholders have sufficient time to go through the annual report, it is circulated at least twenty-eight (28) clear days before the date of the AGM. Shareholders are encouraged to vote on the proposed motions by appointing a proxy in the event they are unable to attend the meeting. In view of the increased COVID-19 outbreak and the total lockdown implemented by the Government as well as part of the safety measures, the Twentieth AGM (“20th AGM”) of the Company was conducted entirely through live streaming and online remote voting using Remote Participation and Voting (“RPV”) facilities. During the 20th AGM, a presentation is shown to the shareholders on the Group’s performance and major activities carried out during the financial period under review. Shareholders were allowed to participate (including posing questions to the Board via real time submission of typed texts) and vote remotely at the 20th AGM via the RPV facilities. In line with the MMLR of Bursa Securities, the Company has implemented and will continue to implement poll voting for all proposed resolutions set out in the notice of any general meeting. An independent scrutineer will be appointed to validate the votes cast at any general meeting of the Company.
