News & Disclosure in ASIA
17
You have to inform on a regular basis local markets about your company: who are you,
what’s going on in your company, tell your equity story, why should they listen to you
That means you have to reach and cover media in Hong Kong, Singapore and Mainland
China
It’s not easy, as there are very tough requirements in China – VPN channels are blocked,
“@gmail.com” addresses are blocked. The only possible way to reach local media - via legal
news provider, like EQS Group, with special technical infrastructure.
You communications must be in English, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese as
most of Chinese media publish news only in Chinese. E.G. Wind terminals in China (Chinese
version of Bloomberg) publish only in Chinese.
News & Disclosure in ASIA
18
There is no strict regulation about time and format of Disclosure.
It goes against fair disclosure principles
Upload time regulation for News:
HKEx: Announcement, circulars, annual/interim reports have to be upload within 1 hour
after submission
SGx: Not limited, listed companies on SGx will not get any problem even if they don’t
upload their announcement and report after e-submission
It goes against fair disclosure principles
That’s why 12 February 2015 EQS Group launched EQS COCKPIT in ASIA – it’s online
platform which allows to publish news in all sources, like Stock Exchanges, Website,
Terminals, Contact base of investors simultaneously with one mouth click
