Notes
- You are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend and to speak and vote on your behalf at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
- You may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. To appoint more than one proxy, you should contact the Company's registrars, Capita Asset Services, on 0871 664 0300 (calls cost 12 pence per minute plus network extras, lines are open 9:00am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday) or on 0371 664 0300 (if calling from outside the UK), for further forms of proxy, or photocopy this form of proxy as required.

- To appoint a person other than the Chairman of the meeting as a proxy, insert their full name in the box. If you sign and return this proxy form with no name inserted in the box, the Chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy.
- To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions, mark the appropriate box with an 'X'. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.
- A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
- To be valid, this proxy form (together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority) must be received by post, by hand (during normal business hours) or by courier by the Company's registrars, Capita Asset Services, at PX51, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4ZF by 11:00am on Tuesday 11 July 2017.

- Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.
- In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted.

- Only those shareholders entered on the register of members of the Company at close of business on 11 July 2017 or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, on the register of members of the Company at close of business on the day two business days before the date of any adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their names at that time. Changes to the entries on the register of members after this time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting or any adjourned meeting.
