We adopted a proactive media engagement approach, and garnered much positive media and analysts’ coverage. The volume of media coverage has more than quadrupled over the last five years and international media coverage grew throughout 2006.

CapitaLand’s Investor Relations department works closely with the Corporate Communications department to proactively keep all stakeholders – shareholders, investors, analysts, fund managers and the media – informed and updated about the company. This is one of the many best practice standards we adopt in corporate governance and good disclosure.

We engaged local and foreign investment professionals through face-to-face meetings, conference calls and roadshows. One-to-one update sessions were also held with visiting institutional investors.

Communication with the media continued to be two-way, open and timely. This was carried out through various platforms, including press briefings and conferences, interviews, events, corporate press materials and direct pitching of story ideas to individual journalists. The Singapore media and analysts were invited to cover stories on our overseas projects and events on-site, while media from China were hosted to familiarisation trips to the Group’s properties in Singapore and abroad.

We continued to engage the investment and media communities, in parallel with the Group’s continued efforts to venture into new markets and businesses, and expand and diversify its overseas footprint. We met a total of 478 institutional investors last year. We adopted a proactive media engagement approach, and garnered much positive media and analysts’ coverage. The volume of media coverage has more than quadrupled over the last five years and international media coverage grew throughout 2006.

News and announcements were posted on our user-friendly corporate website www.capitaland.com.sg for easy accessibility by investors, business media and members
of the public.

The Group’s result announcements were simultaneously webcast real-time on its corporate website, which also contains frequent updates of CapitaLand’s corporate calendar, stock quotes, and news releases.

Going forward, we will strive, on a timely and consistent basis, to keep all stakeholders and analysts informed of our corporate activities in Singapore and overseas.
