General notes
A shareholder may appoint one or more proxies (whether shareholders or not) to attend and vote in their place. If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the General Meeting, delete the words 'the Chair of the General Meeting' and insert in block letters in the space provided the name of your proxy who need not be a shareholder of the Company.
If the Proxy Form is signed and returned without any indication as to how the proxy should vote, the proxy will exercise discretion as to how votes are cast, whether or not to abstain from voting and how to act in relation to other business transacted at the General Meeting. The proxy will exercise this discretion as they see fit on any other business which may properly fall to be considered at the General Meeting and at any adjournment of the General Meeting.
The Vote Withheld option is provided to enable you to abstain from voting on the resolution. It should be noted that a Vote Withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted as a vote For or Against the resolution.
To be effective, the Proxy Form (together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a notarised copy of that power or authority) must be received by the Company's registrar, Equiniti at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA, by 2:30 p.m. (GMT) on 30 October 2025, or if this General Meeting is adjourned, not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the time for holding such adjourned meeting.
This Proxy Form should not be used for any comments, change of address notification or other queries. Please send separate instructions to Equiniti.
