Shareholders sponsored by a broker (in which case your Holder Number overleaf will commence with an ‘X’) should advise their broker of any changes. You cannot change the ownership of shares using this form.
2. Appointment of proxy
If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box with an ‘X’. If you wish to appoint an individual other than the Chairman of the Meeting or a body corporate as your proxy, insert the full name of the individual or body corporate in the space provided. If you leave this section blank or your named proxy is unable to attend the Meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. Your proxy does not need to be a shareholder of AMP Limited.
Appointment of second proxy (optional)
To appoint a second proxy please copy this form (or obtain another copy by phoning the AMP Share Registry) and then:
-
(a) on each of the first proxy form and the second proxy form, state the number of shares or the percentage of your voting rights applicable to that proxy form.

-
(b) return both forms in the same envelope.
3. Directions to proxy
You may direct your proxy how to vote on a given item of business by placing an ‘X’ in one of the three boxes opposite that item. Your proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where your proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote or abstain in their capacity as proxy. If your proxy votes on an item (as your proxy), all of your shares will be voted in accordance with your direction unless you indicate a proportion of voting rights on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box(es). If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may decide how to vote on that item. If you place an ‘X’ in more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid. Please also read the statement on the front of the proxy form marked ‘Important for Item 6 – Increase in non-executive directors’ fee cap.’
