Explanatory Notes in respect of the 'Form of Proxy'
-
- Every shareholder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice 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 as a proxy a person other than the Chairman of the meeting, insert the full name of your chosen proxy in the space provided. A proxy need not be a shareholder. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name (marked with *) 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 deemed to be authorised in respect of your full holding entitlement.
-
- Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy may vote as he thinks fit or abstain from voting on any business including amendments to resolutions which may properly come before the meeting.
-
- To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrars' helpline on 0871 664 9234 (calls to this number are charged at 10p per minute plus network extras). Lines are open 8.30am – 5.30pm Monday – Friday or +44 800 141 2951 (from outside the UK) or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (marked with *) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Multiple proxy appointments must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope to the address given in note 5 below.
-
- The completion and return of this Form of Proxy will not preclude a shareholder from attending the meeting and speaking in person.
-
- To be effective, this Form of Proxy must be deposited at Capita Registrars, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham BR3 4TU not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting.
-
- You can submit your proxy instructions electronically by going to www.capitashareportal.com. You will need to enter your Investor Code, which can be found on your Form of Proxy.
-
- The Form of Proxy is for use in respect of the shareholder account specified overleaf only and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account.
-
- A corporation must execute the Form of Proxy under either its common seal or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney.
-
- The 'Vote withheld' option is to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. Such a vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
-
- 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 RA10) 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 Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
