Explanatory Notes:
- 1. Every member has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). 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 (see reverse) 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 Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
- 2. To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional Form(s) of Proxy may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0870 703 6242 or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) 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 of Proxy must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope (if possible).
- 3. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf is provided to enable you to abstain on the 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' the resolution.
- 4. The Company specifies that only those shareholders registered on the Register of Members of the Company as at 6.00 p.m. on 10 May 2011 (or in the event that the meeting is adjourned, only those shareholders registered on the Register of Members of the Company as at 6.00 p.m. on the day which is two days prior to the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend in person or by proxy and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time.

The Company and Computershare Investor Services PLC accept no liability for any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.
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.
