Investor &
Media Relations
We are committed to providing
the investment and media
communities with timely and
transparent information on CMT’s
business and performance.
The management of CMT
frequently meets existing and
potential investors and analysts
at one-on-one or group meetings,
local and overseas conferences
and roadshows. In 2013, we met
or held conference calls with
about 250 institutional investors
globally and took part in investor
conferences and roadshows in
Singapore, Europe, Hong Kong,
the United States (US) and Japan.
We constantly engage our growing
base of debt investors, given
CMT’s diversified sources of debt
funding. In August 2013, we
participated in the ‘CapitaLand
Debt Investors’ Day’, which was
well received and attended.
We made conscious efforts to
engage more retail investors as
well, through large group seminars.
During the year, we participated in
the UOB Kay Hian CEO Seminar
and the SGX Sector Connect
Seminar to educate retail investors
on CMT’s investment proposition.
The audiences had the opportunity
to ask questions and interact with
the Chief Executive Officer at
the seminar. Currently, 22 local
and foreign brokerage firms have
research coverage on CMT.
Approximately 15,000 registered
Unitholders owned CMT units as at
31 December 2013. About 56.65%
of the units were held by institutional
investors with CapitaMalls Asia
Limited (CMA) owning another
27.62% of the units while retail
investors constitute the remaining
15.73%. Excluding CMA’s stake,
investors from Singapore, US and
United Kingdom held the largest
portions of unitholdings in CMT
at 14.42%, 13.10% and 10.33%
respectively. Investors from Hong
Kong, Europe (excluding the United
Kingdom), Australia and other parts
of Asia accounted for the rest of
the unitholdings.
Joint analyst and media results
briefings are held every six months
to provide updates on CMT’s
half-year and full-year financial
and operational performance.
The briefings are webcast ‘live’ and
viewers of the webcasts can send
in questions online to be addressed
by the management team on the
spot. In line with our commitment
to deliver accurate and timely
information to Unitholders and
the general public, financial
results announcements are made
within 23 days from the end of
each quarter.
In addition, annual general meeting
(AGM) and extraordinary general
meeting (EGM) provide important
channels for communication
between the management and
Unitholders. CMT convened its
fourth AGM in April 2013 with
Unitholders approving all resolutions
tabled at the event. Voting for all the
AGM resolutions were conducted
via polls.
General information on CMT
including annual reports, property
portfolio details and investor
presentations are updated
regularly on the corporate website
for investors and the general
public. All news releases and legal
announcements are also available
on the Singapore Exchange
Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST)
website. Mall tours are regularly
conducted for analysts, investors
and journalists who are keen to
visit CMT’s properties to better
understand the performance of
the various malls and the asset
enhancement initiatives which
were completed.
As part of our proactive corporate
governance efforts and in line
with the Monetary Authority of
Singapore’s Code of Corporate
Governance 2012, we have put
in place an investor relations
policy to promote regular,
effective and fair communication
with Unitholders. The detailed
policy can be located on CMT’s
corporate website under the
‘Investor Relations’ section.
