This document is issued to you as an investor holding your shares in an account managed by Halifax Share Dealing Limited. It comprises two sections: the Attendance Card (above), which will admit you to the Meeting as a guest, and the Voting Instruction Form.

If you wish to instruct how the voting rights attached to your investment should be exercised on a poll, please detach this Voting Instruction Form, complete and sign it and return it in the enclosed prepaid envelope to arrive by Monday 18 February 2013.

Notes:

• 1. For the full text of the Resolutions, please refer to the Notice of Meeting in the accompanying circular to shareholders.
• 2. Shares are registered in the name of HSDL Nominees Limited ("the Nominee"). The Nominee will appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy to vote on a poll in accordance with the Voting Instruction Forms that have been validly completed and returned. A poll will not necessarily be held on a Resolution but the aggregate proxy votes received by the Company in respect of each Resolution will form part of the record of the Meeting and will be available to investors at and after the Meeting.
• 3. To be valid, this Voting Instruction Form must be completed, signed and sent to Customer Registration & Support Team HSDL, Lovell Park Road, Leeds LS1 1NS to be received by close of business on Monday 18 February 2013. A prepaid envelope is provided.
• 4. If you mark the VOTE WITHHELD box for any Resolution, you are directing the Chairman not to vote on your behalf on a poll on that Resolution and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority on that poll.
• 5. In accordance with an agreement with Henderson, the Nominee will exercise the voting rights of any shares that have not been exercised by the instructions of the individual investors. It will do so by voting for or against all the Resolutions to be put to the Meeting (or by withholding votes on such Resolutions) pro rata to the aggregate voting instructions for each Resolution received from those investors who have chosen to exercise their voting rights.
