Changes to entries on the Company's register of members after that time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the AGM.
  • (2) A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy (or more than one proxy as alternates) to attend, speak and vote instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. If you wish to appoint more than one proxy please contact the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited, on +353 1 247 5411. If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the AGM, please insert the proxy's name and address and delete the words "the Chair of the AGM or".

  • (4) This Form of Proxy must (i) in the case of an individual shareholder be signed or submitted electronically in accordance with Note (8) below by the shareholder or his/her duly authorised attorney; or (ii) in the case of a corporate shareholder be given either under its common seal or be signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer or attorney of the corporate shareholder or submitted electronically in accordance with Note (8) below.

All Holders Kindly Note: This Form of Proxy is issued only to the addressee(s) and is specific to the unique designated account printed hereon. This personalised Form of Proxy is not transferable between different (i) account holders; or (ii) uniquely designated accounts. The Company and Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited accept no liability for failure to carry out any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.

  • (5) If this Form of Proxy is signed and returned without any indication as to how the person appointed is to vote, the proxy will exercise discretion as to how to vote or whether to abstain from voting.
  • (6) Completion and return of this Form of Proxy (or submission of proxy instructions electronically) will not prevent a shareholder from attending and voting in person at the AGM.
  • (7) In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s) and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding.

To log in you will require your unique PIN (which will expire at the end of the voting period), your Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) and your Control Number, all of which are shown at the top of the Form of Proxy. Electronic proxy voting may occur through the use of a secured mechanism to exchange electronic messages (as agreed with Euroclear Bank).
  • (9) The "Withhold" option is provided to enable you to abstain from voting on the resolutions. 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 the resolutions.
  • (10) Resolutions 5(a), (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (n) and (o) must be approved by a majority vote of both: (1) the shareholders; and (2) the independent shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules of the Irish Stock Exchange plc and the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority).
