Notes

    1. If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chairman, please add his or her name in the blank space provided, delete the words "the Chairman of the meeting or" and initial the alteration. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting in person to represent you. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the meeting, you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chairman) and give your instructions directly to them.
    1. To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions, please mark the appropriate box with an "X". Unless you indicate otherwise, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he/she thinks fit.
    1. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint any more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to the same share(s). To appoint more than one proxy, you should photocopy the Proxy Form. On each Proxy Form, please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which you authorise them to act as your proxy. The total number of shares entered on all the Proxy Forms you submit must not exceed the number of shares you hold in the Company. Please also indicate, by marking the relevant box, if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. To be valid, all Proxy Forms and additional Proxy Forms must be signed and returned to Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 6DA in the enclosed envelope so as to be received no later than 11.00 a.m. on Monday, 30 May 2016. A stamp is not required if posted in the UK. Where multiple Proxy Forms are completed, they should be returned together in the same envelope if possible.
    1. If no number of shares is entered, the proxy will be authorised to act on your behalf in relation to your entire shareholding in the Company.
    1. The vote 'Withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. It should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting at his/her discretion.
    1. A Proxy Form for a body corporate must be either signed by a duly authorised officer or attorney of such body or executed under its common seal. If this Proxy Form is signed under a power of attorney or other authority, that power of attorney or other authority (or a certified copy thereof) must be provided with the signed Proxy Form.
    1. Only one of the joint holders need sign the Proxy Form. If more than one joint holder tenders a vote in person or by proxy, the vote of the person whose name stands first in the register will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holder(s).
    1. Completion of this Proxy Form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the meeting should you so wish (whereupon your proxy appointment will be automatically terminated).
