Our Shareholders & Investors
We understand the importance of having accessibility to the media,
analysts and the investing public through an effective investor relations
programme. Since our listing in 2000, we have been very committed and
innovative in demonstrating our corporate responsibility. We were the fi rst
listed company to record the comments of our shareholders at our Annual
General Meetings, and making the minutes available on both the SGXNET
and our website (www.qianhu.com). We are also the fi rst to offer an
automated phone hotline service where callers are able to get information
on their reward points, give feedback and even obtain the latest Qian Hu
stock quotes in real-time.
Our results briefi ngs, held twice yearly, are open to the media, analysts and
investment community. Those who cannot make it have the option to watch
it through recorded video webcasts or live audio webcasts. After our results
announcements, we usually offer the investment community a deeper
understanding of our business and industry through an online open forum
on Shareinvestor.com.
Committed to the best practices in corporate transparency and governance,
Qian Hu has been recognized for our efforts by our winning awards such as the
Most Transparent Company Award from the Securities Investors Association
(Singapore) since 2001. We have also regularly topped the Business Times
Corporate Transparency Index (CTI).
