NOTES FOR COMPLETION OF FORM OF PROXY
-
- This form is issued only to the addressee(s) and is specific to the class of security and the unique designated Account printed hereon. This personalised form is not transferable between different (i) account holders, (ii) classes of security or (iii) uniquely designated accounts. The issuer and Computershare accept no liability for any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.
-
- If you will not be attending the Annual General Meeting, or may not do so, you can appoint another person (a "proxy") to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting on your behalf. Completing this Form of Proxy does not prevent you from attending and voting in person. If you attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
-
- If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman as your proxy, please insert the full name of the proxy (in block capitals) in the space provided and delete the words "the Chairman of the Meeting OR". A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If no name is inserted in the space provided, the Chairman will be deemed appointed as the proxy. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box provided 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 member, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
-
- You may 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. Please indicate in the box provided if the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments being given. If you wish to appoint more than one proxy, each proxy must be appointed on a separate Form of Proxy and please enter in the box provided the number of shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed. Additional Forms of Proxy may be obtained from Company's registrars at Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6AH. Alternatively you may photocopy this Form of Proxy the required number of times before completing it. All Forms of Proxy must be signed and returned together in the same envelope.
-
- Please indicate by placing "X" in the appropriate space how you wish your votes to be cast in respect of the Ordinary Resolutions and the Special Resolutions. If this form is duly signed and returned, but without any specific direction as to how you wish your votes to be cast, your proxy may vote or abstain, at his discretion. On any other business (including a motion to adjourn the meeting or to amend the Ordinary Resolutions and the Special Resolutions) the proxy may vote (or abstain from voting) at his discretion.
-
- 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.
-
- In case of joint shareholders, the vote of the first named in the register of members of the Company who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.

- This form must be executed by the shareholder(s) or his/their attorney duly authorised in writing.
