Investor Relations Commitment to Open and Transparent Stakeholder Communication We are dedicated to fostering open and transparent two-way communication with our stakeholders, including Unitholders, potential retail and institutional investors, analysts, and the media. Our engagement with the investment community is guided by the “Unitholders’ Communication and Investor Relations Policy”. This policy outlines CLCT’s communication guidelines, engagement channels, and the conduct of Unitholder meetings. It provides information on how CLCT engages with Unitholders and how they can communicate with CLCT, ensuring a coordinated approach to investor engagement. The policy can be accessed on our website in the Investor Relations section at https://investor.clct.com.sg/ir_policy.html. The dedicated Investor Relations team is acquainted with matters that Unitholders would be concerned with, and works closely with senior management to strategically plan and manage stakeholder engagements, ensuring clear and effective communication between CLCT and its stakeholders. Additionally, the team regularly updates the Board on feedback received from Unitholders. Proactive Engagement with Investment Community Through Multiple Channels To elevate CLCT’s profile and forge strong relationships with our investors, we actively engage with the investment community through multiple channels, including participating in various retail and institutional conferences as well as non-deal roadshows. In May 2024, we participated in the “REIT Symposium 2024”, which was jointly organised by ShareInvestor, Investing Note and REITAS. The symposium provided an excellent opportunity for the management to engage with existing and potential retail investors, offering them with a deeper understanding on CLCT. The management also met with retail, institutional and high net-worth investors through conferences and events held by brokerages for their clients. Following each quarterly release of CLCT’s financial results and business updates, we also conduct post-results briefings for media, analysts, and institutional investors. Such interactions are invaluable for understanding investors’ concerns and perspectives, which contributes to informing and refining our strategic decision-making processes. Ensuring Timely and Transparent Disclosures We are committed to providing relevant and up-todate information through CLCT’s corporate website. All announcements, financial results, business updates, annual reports, property details, and presentation decks used at conferences and roadshows are readily accessible on CLCT’s website at https://investor.clct.com.sg/newsroom.html. Interim updates, in addition to mandatory financial statements, are also provided to Unitholders. Such updates include: discussions of the significant factors that affected CLCT’s interim performance, relevant market trends, and the foreseeable risks and opportunities that may have a material impact on CLCT’s prospects. These interim updates provide Unitholders with a better understanding of CLCT’s performance in the context of the current business environment. Additionally, webcasts of analyst and media briefings are also available, ensuring that investors can stay informed and make well-informed investment decisions. To proactively engage the media, we distribute press releases to key media agencies across print, online and broadcast mediums in Singapore and China. We maintain good relationships with media agencies and respond promptly to requests for information or interviews. Unitholders and the investment community can subscribe to email alerts on CLCT’s website to stay updated on the latest announcements, press releases, and events. In addition, investors and the general public can easily reach out to CLCT by sending their inquiries to the dedicated “Ask Us” email address at ask-us@clct.com.sg. AGMs and EGMs AGMs and EGMs serve as essential communication platforms between the board of directors, management and Unitholders. Prior to these meetings, we actively engage retail Unitholders through both small and large group meetings. Additionally, we collaborate annually with the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) (SIAS) to connect with retail Unitholders through pre-AGMs/EGMs sessions. We convened CLCT’s hybrid AGM on 22 April 2024 at Capital Tower Singapore. Unitholders were invited to submit substantial and relevant questions ahead of the AGM and had the option to appoint the Chairman as their proxy to exercise voting rights. The Manager’s responses to the substantial and relevant questions were published on SGXNet and CLCT’s website prior to the AGM. During the Question & Answer segment of the AGM, Unitholders had the opportunity to seek clarification from the directors and management on any additional questions they had. All resolutions tabled at this AGM were duly passed. Following the AGM, the presentation slides and results were uploaded to SGXNet and CLCT’s website. The minutes of the meeting was also made available on CLCT’s website for greater transparency.
