For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders stand on the register of members of the Company in respect of the joint holding.

  4. For determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, the Register of Members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 17 August 2021 to Friday, 20 August 2021, both dates inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares will be effected.
