Form of Proxy - Annual General Meeting to be held on 29 April 2024 at 1.30pm

Explanatory Notes:

  • 1. The AGM will be held as a physical meeting. Shareholders will be able to attend the meeting in person.
  • 2. If you are submitting a Form of Proxy, the Company strongly encourages you to appoint the Chair of the meeting rather than a named person as your proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted. If, however, you still wish to appoint as your proxy someone other than the Chair of the meeting, insert the name of your chosen proxy in the space provided in the first box. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part of your holding only, please enter in the box next to the proxy's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If this box is left blank they will be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement.
  • 3. To appoint more than one proxy, additional proxy forms may be obtained by contacting the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services plc (0370 707 1080), or you may copy this form. If you are appointing more than one proxy, 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 and indicate by ticking the relevant box that the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments being made. Multiple proxy appointments should be returned together in the same envelope. No proxy may be authorised to exercise votes which any other proxy has been authorised to exercise.
  • 4. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf 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.
  • 5. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated 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 at close of business on the day which is two business days before the day of the meeting. 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.

Note: This form is issued only to the addressee(s) and is specific to the unique All Named Holders designated account printed hereon. This personalised form is not transferable between different: (i) account holders; or (ii) uniquely designated accounts. The Company and Computershare Investor Services PLC accept no liability for any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.

  • 6. In the absence of instructions, the person appointed proxy may vote or refrain from voting as they think fit on the specified resolutions and, unless instructed otherwise, the person appointed proxy may also vote or refrain from voting as they think fit on any other business (including amendments to the Resolutions) which may properly come before the meeting.
  • 7. To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via a designated voting platform, any such messages must be received by the issuer's agent prior to the specified deadline within the relevant system. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the relevant designated voting platform) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent via a designated voting platform in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
  • 8. The above is how your address appears on the Register of Members. If this information is incorrect please ring the Registrar's helpline on 0370 707 1080 to request a change of address form or go to www.investorcentre.co.uk to use the online Investor Centre service.
