Guidance Notes on completing the Form of Proxy
- You will find further details of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which is either enclosed or can be obtained from www.aviva.com/agm. Alternatively, you can contact the Company's Registrar, Equiniti on 0871 384 2953* to request a copy.
- The "Vote withheld" option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, a "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
- You are entitled to appoint one or more proxies of your choice. To appoint someone other than the Chairman, please cross out "the Chairman of the AGM" and insert the name of your proxy in the space provided. Your proxy does not need to be a shareholder but must attend the AGM in person. Please indicate how you wish your proxy to vote on a poll by placing a cross or other mark in the appropriate boxes. Your proxy must vote in the way that you indicate. Please note that if you do not give an instruction your proxy may vote as he or she wishes on any resolution and on any further or amended resolutions. Your proxy may also vote as he or she wishes on any other business which may properly come before the AGM.
- The return of a completed proxy form or any CREST Proxy Instruction will not prevent you from attending the AGM and voting in person if you wish to do so.
- You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. To do this you may obtain additional proxy forms from the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, by calling 0871 384 2953* or you may copy this form. Please indicate next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate, by ticking the box provided, if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. Please sign all forms and return them together in the same envelope.
- Please ensure you sign the form and initial any alterations. If someone other than you signs the form, the letter of authority, Power of Attorney or a certified copy of the Power of Attorney authorising him/her to sign on your behalf must be sent with this form. If the holder is a corporation, the form must be signed either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney of that company.
- If your shareholding is held jointly, the votes of the senior holder who votes, either by proxy or in person, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes from the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority for the joint holding is determined by the order in which the shareholders' names appear on the Company's Register of Members.
- You can register your vote either online as outlined in note 9 below or by returning your completed voting card to the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6UR, UK. A prepaid envelope, which will not require a stamp if posted in the UK, has been provided for your convenience.
- You can register your appointment of a proxy online by logging onto www.aviva.com/agm. You will require your Voting ID, Task ID and your Shareholder Reference Number, each of which can be found overleaf. Please note that any electronic communication sent to the Company or Equiniti that is found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted.
- Whether you register your instruction online or by post, your instruction must be received by no later than 11am on Thursday, 28 April 2011.
