Notes to the Proxy Form
- A shareholder may appoint one or more proxies (whether shareholders or not) to attend the AGM and vote in their place. If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the AGM, insert the name of the proxy in block letters in the box provided below.
- You may register your voting instructions online or by phone, instead of returning this Proxy Form, by following the instructions overleaf. If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the AGM, you must return this paper Proxy Form to do so.
- 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 AGM. The proxy will exercise this discretion as they see fit on any other business which may properly fall to be considered at the AGM and at any adjournment of the AGM.
- The 'Abstain' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. It should be noted that an abstention is not a vote in law and will not be counted as a vote For or Against a resolution.
- To be effective, the Proxy Form (together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a notarised copy of that power or authority) must be received by the Company's registrar, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. at P.O. Box 43101, Providence, RI 02940-5067, USA by 14:30 (BST) / 09:30 (ET) on April 7, 2026, or if this AGM is adjourned, not less than 48 UK business hours before the time for holding such adjourned meeting.
- In the case of a shareholder which is a company, the Proxy Form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company.
- You may appoint more than one proxy provided each is appointed to exercise rights attached to different ordinary shares in the Company. To appoint more than one proxy, please contact Computershare on +1 888 697 8018. If the proxy is being appointed with authority to vote less than your total holding, please indicate in the box marked with an asterisk below the number of shares your proxy is to vote. If the box marked with an asterisk is left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorized to vote your total holding.
- Only holders of the Company's ordinary shares at 18:30 (BST) / 13:30 (ET) on April 7, 2026 (or their duly appointed proxies), or if this AGM is adjourned, in the register of members by 18:30 (UK time) two UK business days prior to any adjourned meeting, are entitled to attend or vote at the AGM in respect of the number of ordinary shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the entries in the register of members after this time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the AGM.
