Corporate Governance
Communications to Shareholders
|
|
Lend Lease recognises that while there is a legal obligation of disclosure, there is also an important ethical obligation to shareholders to ensure that investor confidence is maintained through effective, full and timely communication and disclosure to shareholders and the market.
The Group’s External Communications and Continuous Disclosure Policy is designed to facilitate this important objective, and promotes effective communication with shareholders by ensuring that information (in addition to information that may be required to be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s legal continuous disclosure obligations) that may otherwise be important to a shareholder, such as information about the Group’s activities, is available to the investor in a timely and readily accessible manner.
The Policy ensures that all stock exchange announcements are:
 |
 | Included on the ‘News Room’ section of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com as soon as practicable following confirmation of receipt by the Australian and New Zealand stock exchanges. Additionally, interested parties can register for an email alert service which notifies them of new announcements; |
|
 | Distributed to major wire services; and |
|
 | Emailed to major media and investor organisations. |
The Lend Lease website is the key information dissemination point to the broader market. In addition to including on the website all announcements to the market:
|
 | Copies of current and past annual and half year reports can be downloaded from the website; |
|
 | Presentations made to analysts or institutional investors are included on the website; and |
|
 | Market briefings to analysts and institutional investors are webcast live and archived on the website for three months. Presentation material used during a webcast can be viewed simultaneously or accessed from the archive subsequently. |
Group executives and the Chairman also meet with investors and their representatives on a regular basis to discuss the Group and its performance.
