Explanatory Notes:

  • 1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his or her proxy to exercise all or any of his or her rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting" and/or "AGM"). If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided. However, in view of the Government's current restrictions on gatherings of more than two people, we strongly advise you to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy. So long as the Government's Stay at Home Measures remain in place at the time of the meeting, shareholders other than those forming the minimum quorum will not be admitted to the meeting. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account). If returned without an indication as to how the proxy shall vote on any particular matter, the proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to whether, and if so how, he or she votes. On any other business arising at the Meeting (including any motion to amend, withdraw a resolution or to adjourn the Meeting), the proxy will exercise his or her discretion.
  • 2. To appoint more than one proxy, additional proxy forms may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on +44 (0)370 873 5880 or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope to the abovementioned address.

  • 3. The 'Vote Withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.

  • 4. Pursuant to regulation 41 of the Uncertifi cated Securities Regulations 2001, entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company as at 8.00 p.m. on Tuesday, 12 May 2020. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the Meeting.
  • 5. To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, CREST messages must be received by the issuer's agent (ID number 3RA50) not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertifi cated Securities Regulations 2001.
  • 6. The above is how your address appears on the Register of Members. If this information is incorrect please ring the Registrar's helpline on +44 (0)370 873 5880 between Monday and Friday, 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (excluding public holidays) to request a change of address form or go to www.investorcentre.co.uk to use the online Investor Centre service. The standard rate for calling a 0370 number costs no more than a national rate call from any type of phone or provider.
  • 7. Any alterations made to this form should be initialled. If someone other than you signs the form of proxy, it must be returned with either the letter of authority, power of attorney or a certifi ed copy of the power of attorney authorising him or her to sign on your behalf.
