THE GROUP’S INVESTOR RELATIONS COMMITMENT
The Group’s investor relations (“IR”) function is led by the
CEO and senior management team, with the assistance of
a professional investor relations company, Financial PR Pte
Ltd.
The Group strives to achieve a high standard of disclosure
andcorporatetransparencythroughtimelydisseminationof
relevant, credible andmaterial information within legal and
regulatory requirements on the Singapore Stock Exchange
and company website. This is to enable shareholders and
potential investors to gain a good understanding of our
operations, keep abreast of corporate developments, and
assess our business strategies in order to make sound
investment decisions. In 2015, a key task in our investor
relations work was the communication with investors
on the share consolidation as required by SGX rules. The
management and IR team fully understood the concerns
of shareholders on the share consolidation, conducted
extensive research ahead of the extraordinary general
meeting (“EGM”), and provided thorough explanation on
the need and short-term potential impact on the share
price to shareholders before and during the EGM. The
resolution was successfully approved by shareholders.

downturn through media. Management accepted several
interviews with trade publications such as IHS Maritime
and Seatrade, and investment media such as NextInsight
to extend our reach and target a broader investor audience.
During the year, the Group has been featured in a range of
papers and online media.
