  • 2 Please indicate with a cross or other mark in the appropriate boxes how you wish Equiniti Corporate Nominees Limited to vote on a poll.
  • 3 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.

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.

  • 5 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.
