We will also be holding a Question & Answer session with Management (“Q&A with Management”) before the AGM, for shareholders to pose questions that they may have on the SGX Group, but which do not relate to the formal agenda items in the Notice of AGM. The Q&A with Management will be held, in a wholly physical format, at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Level 4, Peony Junior Ballroom, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956 and will commence at 9.00 a.m.. Registration for the Q&A with Management will commence at 8.00 a.m.. There will be no option for shareholders to participate in the Q&A with Management virtually. 

Shareholders, including CPFIS and SRS investors, will need to pre-register themselves, or (where applicable) their duly appointed proxies or representatives for the Virtual Meeting, by clicking the “Register Now” button below and providing the requested information by 10.30 a.m. on Monday, 2 October 2023 to enable SGX to verify their status. Pre-registration is only required if shareholders, including CPFIS and SRS investors, or (where applicable) their duly appointed proxies or representatives, wish to attend the Virtual Meeting – no pre-registration is required for attendance at the Physical Meeting.

Following verification, authenticated shareholders, including CPFIS and SRS investors, and (where applicable) duly appointed proxies and representatives who have (or have been) pre-registered for the Virtual Meeting will receive, via the email address provided on pre-registration, an email confirming successful registration for the Virtual Meeting by 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 4 October 2023, which will contain unique user credentials and instructions on how to access the live audio-visual webcast and live audio-only stream of the AGM proceedings.

Shareholders, including CPFIS and SRS investors, and (where applicable) duly appointed proxies and representatives who do not receive any confirmation email by 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 4 October 2023, but have (or have been) pre-registered by the Monday, 2 October 2023 deadline should contact the Company’s Share Registrar, Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte.

All questions submitted in advance of the AGM must be received by 5.00 p.m. on Friday, 22 September 2023 in order to give the Company sufficient time to process and address them. 

Ask substantial and relevant questions at the AGM. Shareholders, including CPFIS and SRS investors, and (where applicable) duly appointed proxies and representatives can also ask the Chairman of the Meeting substantial and relevant questions related to the resolutions to be tabled for approval at the AGM, at the AGM itself. Attendees at the Virtual Meeting (attending via live audio-visual webcast) who wish to ask questions at the AGM can do this by submitting text-based questions via the live chat function on the online platform for the AGM.

Addressing questions. We will address all substantial and relevant questions (which are related to the resolutions to be tabled for approval at the AGM) received from shareholders by the Friday, 22 September 2023 deadline by publishing our responses to such questions on our corporate website at the URL https://investorrelations.sgx.com/financial-information/annual-reports and SGXNet at the URL https://www.sgx.com/securities/company-announcements before trading hours on Friday, 29 September 2023. We will respond to questions or follow-up questions (which are related to the resolutions to be tabled for approval at the AGM) received after the Friday, 22 September 2023 deadline either within a reasonable timeframe before the AGM, or at the AGM itself. Where substantially similar questions are received, we will consolidate such questions and consequently not all questions may be individually addressed.
