Background
Region comprises Region Management Trust, Region Retail Trust (together, Trusts), Region RE Limited ("Region RE") and any entities owned and / or managed, either beneficially or legally, by the Trusts or Region RE ("Region").
Communication Strategy
Region aims to ensure that security holders are kept informed of all major developments affecting the state of affairs of Region. Additionally, Region recognises that potential investors and other interested stakeholders may wish to obtain information about Region from time to time.
To achieve this, Region communicates information regularly to security holders and other stakeholders through a range of forums and publications.
Region may also engage professional investor relations service providers to communicate information to security holders.
Website
One of Region's key communication tools is its website located at regiongroup.au. Region endeavours to keep its website up-to-date, complete and accurate. Important information about Region can be found under the sections marked "About us", "Investor Centre" and "News & Media" including:
Group Structure;
Governance Charters including: Board Charter; Audit, Risk Management and Compliance Committee Charter; Remuneration Committee Charter;
Nomination Committee Charter and Investment Committee Charter;
Core Corporate Governance Policies, including Code of Conduct, Securities Trading Policy, Continuous Disclosure Policy, Sustainability Policy and Risk Management Policy;
Event calendar;
Financial information about Region: including unit pricing information, distribution history and other financial performance data;
Notice of Meeting: Region places the full text of all notices of meetings and explanatory material on its website in the News & Media section;
Annual Report: Region's Annual Report is available on its website and contains important information about Region's activities and results for the previous financial year;
Recent announcements lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") and link to the ASX website for full list of announcements: All major ASX announcements made to the market are posted on the Region website, including annual and half year financial results. Major announcements by Region to ASX are posted on Region's website as soon as possible after receiving ASX's confirmation that an announcement has been released to the market, and are broadcast via email and/or fax to major security holders;
Presentations: Copies of all investor presentations made to analysts and media briefings are posted on Region's website in the News & Media section; and
Other information:
Region provides a telephone helpline facility (operated by its unit registry) and an online email inquiry service to assist security holders with any queries;
should an external investor relations firm be engaged to communicate information to security holders, confirmation of this engagement will be provided on Region's website. This will enable security holders to confirm the bona fides of any communications from Region's service providers.
The Region website also contains a facility for security holders to direct enquiries to Region.
Region's registry provider's website
Security holders are encouraged to manage their investment in Region by visiting https://investorcentre.linkmarketservices.com.au/L ogin/Login. Here unitholders may:
update their Tax File Number ("TFN");
provide details for electronic funds transfers ("EFT") to ensure they receive the distributions they are entitled to (Region does not issue cheques);
elect to receive communications, including distribution notices & meeting notifications from Region via email (or to elect to discontinue receiving email communications from Region); and
conduct searches on or view many other details relevant to their holding in Region.
Annual General Meeting
In addition to facilitating regular communication with security holders through its website, Region uses its Annual General Meeting (AGM) as an opportunity to further engage with its security holders and seek their input on the management of Region. Region seeks to maximise security holders' ability to participate in the AGM process by:
making directors of Region RE, members of the management team and the external auditor available to security holders at the AGM;
allowing security holders in attendance at the AGM a reasonable opportunity to ask questions regarding the items of business, including questions to the external auditor regarding the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor's report;
providing security holders who are unable to attend the meeting with an opportunity to submit questions in advance of the meeting; and
where legally permitted, allowing security holders to lodge proxies electronically.
