Principle C: Integrity in Corporate Reporting and Meaningful Relationship with Stakeholders
1.
Effective Communication with Shareholders and Investors
AAB is committed to communicating openly and regularly with shareholders and investors through platforms such as the corporate
section of its website, the Annual Report, Financial Announcements and Key Operating Statistics and Announcements through Bursa
Malaysia and AGMs. The corporate section of its website is updated regularly to provide stakeholders with all relevant information on
AAB.
AAB has a dedicated Investor Relations team which supports the Senior Management in their active participation in investor relation
activities, including road shows, conferences and quarterly investor briefings locally and globally with financial analysts, institutional
investors and fund managers.
AAB continues to fulfil its disclosure obligations as per Bursa Malaysia’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. All disclosure of material
corporate information is disseminated in an accurate, clear and timely manner via Bursa Malaysia announcements.
2.
AGM
Given the size and geographical diversity of the Group’s shareholders, the AGM is another important forum for interaction with this group
of stakeholders. All shareholders will be notified of the meeting and provided with a copy of AAB’s Annual Report before the meeting
is held. At the 24th AGM of AAB held on 25 May 2017, all members of the Board were present to respond to questions raised by the
shareholders or proxies. Voting at the 24th AGM was conducted through an electronic poll voting system and was scrutinised by an
independent scrutineer. AAGB will continue to leverage technology to enhance the quality of its shareholder engagement and facilitate
further participation by shareholders at AAGB’s AGMs.
3.
