    1. Shares held in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST) may be voted through the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST manual.
    1. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy this form. In the 'Name of Registered Shareholder' box on page 1, please indicate the shareholder's name and the number of shares in relation to which your proxy is authorised to act (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
