Shareholders
Who are they?
Our shareholder base is diverse. The majority of shares in the Company are held in Australia, Europe and North America, with other significant holdings in South Africa.
Interests and Concerns
Shareholders are broadly interested in ensuring that financial returns occur as a result of suitable Company performance and governance. Increasingly, long-term performance is becoming more of a focus, hence a greater desire to better understand governance mechanisms and the non-financial risks and mitigation measures of the organisation.
Dialogue
Shareholders are invited to attend the Annual General Meetings where they can question directors on matters relating to the Company's performance. Shareholders can also elect to receive regular printed and electronic communications. Presentations given at appropriate intervals to representatives of the investment community are also available to all shareholders and supported by internet broadcast or open conference call.
