DRIVING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH In total, the Manager engaged with approximately 970 investors, media representatives, and analysts as engagement efforts intensified towards the year-end as part of MUST's EGM roadshow in efforts to secure Unitholders' support for the Growth and Value Up Plan. For instance, a SIAS Dialogue was held to discuss the Growth and Value Up Plan with retail Unitholders, and two luncheon sessions for MUST’s family office and high-net-worth investors, as well as custodial nominees were also organised. These sessions saw a high turnout and management leveraged on these platforms to thoroughly address Unitholders' concerns. Throughout the year, the Manager also conducted a thought leadership session and regular quarterly updates for the investment community. In January, the Manager held MUST Insights for analysts, media, and investors to highlight the key trends in the U.S. office landscape and the nuanced recovery in various submarkets. During the year, four retail investor webinars with Philip Securities and two webinars for CGSI trading representatives were also conducted to address questions about MUST's quarterly performance and outlook.
