HOW TO DIRECT YOUR PROXY TO VOTE
APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
The details set out below are subject to the additional details set out in Steps 1 and 2 overleaf.
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box in respect of an item, your proxy may vote as they choose on that item. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the number or percentage of shares you wish your proxy to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes to be cast by your proxy on an item of business must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the number or percentage of shares you wish each proxy to vote, otherwise each proxy may vote half of the shares. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the number or percentage of shares for each in Step 1 overleaf.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

This Proxy Form (and any authority under which it is signed or a certified copy of that authority) or any other proxy voting instructions must be received by ANZ not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Any Proxy Form, authority, certified copy of an authority or other proxy voting instructions received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled Meeting.
