About IR Global Rankings (www.irglobalrankings.com): Solid communication
with the investment community is a key priority for investor relations and
corporate governance professionals, once value creation (stock prices) and
risk perception can be managed. The implementation of best practices in
communicating with the capital markets and fair disclosure procedures do help
companies in earning and maintaining investor confidence. The annual IR Global
Rankings and Awards survey is the most comprehensive auditing and ranking
system for IR websites, corporate governance practices and financial
disclosure procedures -- a great opportunity to benchmark IR efforts vis-a-vis
peers and industry leaders. Based on extensive proprietary research of
publicly held companies and investors, and supported by input from independent
audit, corporate governance and legal experts (KPMG, Arnold & Porter,
Demarest, Mattos Filho and Barbosa Mussnich), MZ's methodology is highly
detailed, transparent and fully accessible to all participants. The annual IR
Global Rankings and Awards has grown each year since 1999.
