Please follow the instructions provided by your intermediary for completing and returning the form.

If the Class B shares are registered in the name of a deceased or other holder , the proxy must be signed by the legal representative with their name printed below their signature. Evidence of the legal representative’s authority to sign on behalf of the deceased or other holder must be attached to this form of proxy.
