SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS [PRINCIPLES 14 AND 15]
The Company is committed to the regular and timely disclosure of information pertinent to the shareholders. Announcements
are made within the prescribed periods through the SGXNET as well as through press releases to the relevant media, if
necessary. All announcements are posted on the Company’s website and disseminated by email to subscribers as news alerts.
Engagement with shareholders takes many forms, including analyst briefings at quarterly and full year results with the
CEO, CFO and senior management team present to take questions from the analysts. We also hold analyst conferences and
teleconference calls to communicate important corporate developments, such as mergers and acquisition announcements.
Apart from these communication channels, we hold frequent dialogues through meetings, telephone and video conference
calls with the investing community to facilitate their understanding of the Group’s business model and growth strategies. We
also attend road shows and investment conferences to stay in touch with the investing community.
As part of the engagement with the investing community in the reporting year, we took several key shareholders and analysts
on site visits to our plantation operation in North Sumatra, and the refinery in Tanjung Priok.
Code of Conduct and Company Culture
In line with the practices of our parent company, PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk (“
ISM
”), we have implemented ISM’s Code
of Conduct across all the subsidiaries and business units under IndoAgri. The Code of Conduct guides the actions of our
employees in their interactions with various stakeholders, ensuring that business is conducted in a manner that is consistent
with our values.
To ensure that its policies on business and work ethics are well understood, the Code of Conduct is communicated to all
employees on a regular basis through various staff engagement platforms. Any violation of the Code of Conduct is considered
a breach of the employment contract, and may result in sanctions or disciplinary actions.
The Code of Conduct and our company culture are aligned to ISM’s core values of discipline, integrity, respect, unity, leadership
and innovation.
CONDUCT OF SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS [PRINCIPLE 16]
The Company supports the 2012 Code’s principle to encourage the participation of shareholders at the AGMs. All shareholders
are given the opportunity to attend and vote at AGMs. They can vote in person or by proxy if they are unable to attend the
meetings in person.
The Directors of the Company, as well as the external auditors are in attendance at the AGMs to address any queries from
shareholders.
DEALINGS IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES
In compliance with Rule 1207(19) of the SGX-ST Listing Manual, the Group has adopted an Internal Code with regard to dealings
in the securities of the Company by its officers. Amongst others, the Company restricts its officers from dealing in any of the
Company’s securities on short-term considerations.
In addition, the Internal Code also prohibits dealing in any of the securities of the Company at any time when in possession of any
unpublished price-sensitive information in relation to those securities, during the two-week period before the announcement
of Group’s quarterly and half yearly financial results, and one month before the announcement of Group’s full year financial
results.
Directors and employees are expected to observe the insider trading laws at all times even when dealing in securities within
permitted trading periods.
