EXPLANATORY NOTES

    1. A shareholder of the Company is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to join the AGM virtually, and to speak and vote on their behalf, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that member. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If you appoint a proxy without indicating how the proxy should vote on a particular matter, the proxy may exercise their discretion as to whether, and if so how, they vote on that matter.
    1. The appointment of a proxy online, return of a completed proxy form, other instrument or any CREST/Proxymity proxy instruction will not prevent a member from participating in the AGM electronically and submitting a vote online at the AGM if they wish to do so.
    1. We recommend that all shareholders appoint the Chair of the meeting as proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted even if electronic attendance at the meeting is restricted, or you are unable to attend electronically.
    1. The "Vote withheld" option is provided to enable a member to withhold their vote on any particular resolution. It should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not
