How to use the Form of Proxy

Complete, sign and date the Form of Proxy (notes on how to do so are given below), and send it to the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, in the reply paid envelope provided.
Online voting and proxy appointment
If you wish to register the appointment of a proxy electronically and/or vote online, you can do so by logging onto www.shareview.co.uk and using your shareholder reference number on the Form of Proxy overleaf or, if you are a CREST member, by using the procedures described in the CREST manual. If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform.
Note: Submitting a Form of Proxy by post or registering an online proxy appointment will not preclude you from voting on the Resolutions at the meeting. Further details on the AGM can be found in the enclosed Notice of Meeting.
Notes for completion of the Form of Proxy
-
- This Form of Proxy is only for the use of Ordinary Shareholders.
-
- If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, you may delete the reference to the Chair, and insert in block letters the name of the person you wish to appoint in the space provided and initial the alteration. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
- If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box entitled "Number of shares over which the proxy is appointed" 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.
-
- You may appoint more than one proxy, who may be the same person, provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. To do so you should photocopy the proxy form and indicate in the box entitled "Number of shares over which the proxy is appointed" 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 more than one proxy is being appointed. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
-
- Please indicate how you wish your proxy to vote or if you wish them to abstain from voting by placing an 'X' in the appropriate boxes. In the absence of instructions the proxy or proxies may vote or abstain from voting the shares with respect to which he or she has been appointed as he or she thinks fit on both: (i) the resolutions specified overleaf; and (ii) on any other business or matter (including amendments to resolutions and procedural resolutions) which may come before the meeting.
-
- The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf is provided to enable you or your proxy 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 votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
-
- If the appointor is a corporation, the Form of Proxy must be under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised in writing. For further information on voting by corporate representatives, please see the 2025 AGM Notice of Meeting.
-
- In the case of joint holders the signature of any one of them will suffice.
-
