The poll results are truly a vote of confidence from the investment community for the IR excellence the winners have achieved. We are particularly pleased to announce that 'The Link Real Estate Investment Trust' and 'Sa Sa International Holdings Limited' have been selected by the Judging Panel as the recipients of the Overall Best IR Company Awards in the Large Cap and Mid Cap categories respectively.
