CLAS is committed to proactive, timely and transparent communication with our stakeholders, including potential and existing retail and institutional investors, sell-side analysts and the media. Our commitment is underpinned by our Investor Relations Policy, which states the guiding principles of our approach and can be accessed on CLAS’ website (https://investor. capitalandascotttrust.com/investor_relations_policy.html). CLAS makes disclosures on an immediate basis as required under the Listing Manual, or as soon as possible where immediate disclosure is not practicable. This is to ensure that all stakeholders have the essential knowledge to make informed investment decisions. All announcements, press releases and presentation slides relating to CLAS’ latest corporate developments are promptly disclosed via SGXNet and made available on CLAS’ website (https://www.capitalandascotttrust.com/). Information such as CLAS’ stock data, factsheet, publications, tax refund procedures and a list of frequently asked questions, can be found in the Investor Relations section of the website. CLAS makes it a practice to release its financial results and business updates within 30 days from the end of each quarter. To provide more comprehensive updates on CLAS’ financial and operational performance, postresults briefings are held for the media, analysts and investors. INVESTOR RELATIONS In 2023, we actively engaged our various stakeholders through more face-to-face engagements, which consisted of both group and one-on-one meetings, which included non-deal roadshows held overseas. In total, we reached out to about 1,300 analysts and investors, across about 90 engagements in 2023. The meetings provided an effective platform for us to initiate transparent and timely communication on matters such as the financial and operating performance of CLAS, our portfolio reconstitution activities and perspectives on outlook. We also sought feedback from the investment community on our transactions and equity fund raising. Through our outreach, the investment community, including new investors who received CLAS’ Stapled Securities as part of CapitaLand Investment Limited’s distribution-in-specie exercise in 2023, was able to gain a better understanding of CLAS. These interactions also enabled us to hear the views and concerns of our stakeholders, and continuously improve our disclosures and value proposition to investors. In 2023, CLAS continued to receive industry recognition for its efforts in investor engagement and corporate governance. Testament to our commitment in upholding high standards on the corporate governance front, CLAS was ranked 1st in the REITs and Business Trusts category of the Singapore Governance and Transparency Index 2023 for the third year running.
