The board of directors (the “Board”) recognises the importance of maintaining effective communication, ensuring timely and accurate disclosure of information to the shareholders and investors of the Group.

The principal methods used to communicate with shareholders and investors include the following:

• The Board member or designated senior executives maintain regular meetings with potential investors and analysts to keep them abreast of the Company’s development, subject to compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.


• The Company’s website (www.agritraderesources.com) offers timely access to the Company’s latest news, press release, presentations and general information about the Group’s businesses and also all the announcement released by the Company to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”) including financial statements, results announcements, circulars and notices of general meetings and associated explanatory documents etc.


• The Company’s annual general meeting (the “AGM”) allows the directors to meet and communicate with shareholders. Shareholders are encouraged to attend the AGM and the Company ensures that their views are communicated to the Board. The chairman of the AGM proposes separate resolutions for each issue to be considered. Members of the audit, remuneration and nomination committees also attend the AGM to answer questions from shareholders.
  
  The AGM proceedings are reviewed from time to time to ensure that the Company follows the best corporate governance practices. The notice of AGM is distributed to all shareholders at least 20 clear business days prior to the AGM and the accompanying circular also sets out details of each proposed resolution and other relevant information as required under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the SEHK. The chairman of the AGM exercises his power under Bye-Laws of the Company (the “Bye-laws”) to put each proposed resolution to the vote by way of poll. The procedures for demanding and conducting a poll will be explained to the shareholders at the commencement of the AGM, to ensure that shareholders are familiar with such procedures.
