Notes on how to fill in this Proxy Form
-
- You can appoint the Chair of the meeting or anyone else to be your proxy at the Annual General Meeting. You can also, if you wish, appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you.
- To appoint more than one proxy, you should photocopy the Proxy Form (or additional Proxy Forms may be obtained by contacting the Company's Registrar). Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which you authorise them 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). Please also indicate by marking the box on the Proxy Form if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All Proxy Forms must be signed and should be returned together to the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, at Freepost RTHJ-CLLL-KBKU, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 8LU.
- To appoint the Chair as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, fill in any voting instructions and sign and date the Proxy Form, but leave all other proxy appointment details blank.
- To appoint a single proxy in respect of all your shares other than the Chair, cross out only the words "the Chair of the meeting or" and write in the name of the person you want to be your proxy. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. Then complete the rest of the Proxy Form.
-
- Please mark the appropriate box above "For", "Against" or "Vote withheld" for each resolution in black ink with a tick or mark. 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. Your proxy will have discretion on any resolution where you have not given a specific instruction on how to vote or on any other business which may properly come before the meeting.
-
- To be valid, your completed Proxy Form must be received by no later than 9.00 am on Friday 24 January 2025.
-
- The full text of the resolutions is set out in the notice calling the meeting.
-
- Completion and return of the Proxy Form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the meeting should you subsequently decide to do so.
-
- If the Proxy Form is signed by someone else on your behalf, evidence of their authority to sign the Proxy Form must be sent with the Proxy Form.
-
- In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members.
-
- In the case of a corporation, the Proxy Form must be signed as a deed or be appropriately signed by a duly authorised official or officials whose capacity should be stated. The appropriate power of attorney or other authority must be sent with the Proxy Form.
-
- As permitted by Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, shareholders must be entered on the Company's share register at the close of business on Friday 24 January 2025 in order to be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting. Such shareholders may only cast votes in respect of shares held at such time. Changes to entries on the relevant register after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
