Shareholder Communication Strategy
BlueScope Steel Shareholder Communication Arrangements
The aim of BlueScope Steel's communication arrangements is to provide shareholders with information about their Company and enable them to exercise their rights as shareholders in an informed manner. BlueScope Steel also recognises that people other than shareholders, such as potential investors or other interested stakeholders, may have an interest in information about the Company.
Electronic communication
The BlueScope Steel website (www.bluescopesteel.com) is an important part of the Company's communication arrangements. BlueScope Steel includes on its website a range of information relevant to shareholders and others concerning the operation of the Company. In the section marked "Investors", BlueScope Steel promptly makes available:
- copies of all announcements given to ASX;
- copies of all investor presentations made to analysts;
- copies of annual and half-year financial reports; and
- information related to annual general meetings, including the chairman's address and voting results.
The BlueScope Steel website also contains details of notices of shareholder meetings along with related explanatory material.
Commencing with the 2003 Annual General Meeting, BlueScope Steel will webcast its Annual General Meetings. This is in addition to transcripts of the Chairman's and Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer's speeches being available on the website.
The BlueScope Steel website provides shareholders and other people interested in the Company the opportunity to register to receive by e-mail the latest BlueScope Steel Reports and News.
Information for General Meetings
In preparing notices of meeting and related explanatory information, BlueScope Steel aims to provide all information that is relevant to shareholders in making a decision on the matter to be voted on by shareholders. Not only should all relevant information be provided, but BlueScope Steel considers the information must be presented in a clear and concise format.
Other information
In certain circumstances, BlueScope Steel will ensure that shareholders can obtain additional information where shareholders may have particular questions on specific matters, such as small shareholders sale facilities or significant proposals to be voted on by shareholders. This will usually involve BlueScope Steel making available telephone helplines and e-mail services for frequently asked questions, to ensure that shareholders can obtain all relevant information to assist them in exercising their rights as owners of BlueScope Steel.
