ST Engineering Sustainability Report 2020

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Investor Relations team works closely with the Corporate Communications team to manage and oversee the Group’s external communication efforts. Contact details of these two teams are listed on our corporate website to facilitate dialogues. While we provide reasonable access to the investment community and media to help them develop informed opinions of the Group, we do not respond or comment on rumours, market speculation or forward projection of financial figures. In situations where the rumours or speculative news reports are materially incorrect or misleading, the Group may issue a clarification or confirmation statement through SGXNET. Pursuant to the amendment of the SGX Mainboard listing rules effective 7 February 2020, and in line with the long-term nature of the Group’s businesses, the Group has adopted half-yearly financial reporting. ST Engineering will augment our half-yearly financial results with relevant operating information on a quarterly basis, as necessary. In 2020, we released market updates for the first and third quarters. Release dates of half-yearly financial reports are disclosed at least two weeks prior to the announcement date via SGXNET. The half-year and full-year financial reports, announced within 45 and 60 days from the end of each respective financial period, comprise detailed financial statements and management commentaries on the financial and business performance of the Group. Links to live webcasts for the Group’s half-year and full-year results in FY2020 are posted on SGXNET and our corporate website. Audio playback is made available on our website the same day. We observe a "blackout period" of one month prior to the announcement of our half-yearly financial results. During this period, we do not comment on the Group's business performance, financial results and related industry outlook. Directors and employees are reminded not to deal in the securities of ST Engineering during this blackout period. They are also regularly reminded not to deal in securities of ST Engineering at all times if they are privy to unpublished material price-sensitive information. ST Engineering maintains an updated website with a dedicated “Investor Relations” section where current and past annual reports, half-yearly financial reports and webcasts, quarterly market updates, as well as information on AGM and other information considered to be of interest to shareholders and the investment community are readily available. We welcome shareholders and the investment community to subscribe to news alerts or follow our social media channels to receive latest business updates. Managing Stakeholders Relationships Engagement with Stakeholders (Principle 13) The Company engages its material stakeholders.
