| Communications between the Company and its Investors |
|
The Board recognises the need for clear, effective communications
with the Company’s institutional investors and other shareholders.
Information on the Group’s business activities and financial performance
is disseminated through press releases, press conferences, announcements
of quarterly results, the Annual Report and at the general meetings. In
addition, the Company maintains dialogues with its institutional shareholders
and analysts, as and when required, to supplement its communications initiatives
subject to its Corporate Disclosure Policy. Shareholders are given an opportunity
to consider and raise questions related to the financial statements and Directors’
Report, and to vote on the Directors’ Remuneration Report, the election of Directors,
the final dividends and the election of Auditors. Notices of Annual General Meetings
and Forms of Proxy thereto carry sufficient information and guidance on the appointment
of proxies and completion of such forms. Tanjong maintains a website at www.tanjongplc.com
which provides pertinent and updated information on the corporate and business aspects
of the Group.

| Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) |
The AGM is the principal forum for dialogue with its
shareholders which offers the Company an opportunity to explain the financial
performance and operations of the Company. Shareholders are encouraged and given
sufficient opportunity to enquire about the Group’s activities and prospects as
well as to communicate their expectations and concerns at this forum. All Board
members, Senior Management and the Group’s External Auditors are available to
respond to shareholders’ questions during the AGM.
Any item of special business included in the Notice of the AGM will be
accompanied by an explanation of the effects of a proposed resolution.
Separate resolutions are tabled for different transactions and the Chairman
