Explanatory Notes:

1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If returned without an indication as to how the proxy shall vote on any particular matter, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes).
2. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy card(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0870 889 3226 or you may photocopy this card. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by marking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All cards must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. A proxy card must be returned together with any authority under which it was signed.
3. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
4. In the case of joint holders the signature on this card by any one holder will suffice but the vote of the first named on the register of members of the Company will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
5. Entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat

will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at 6.00 pm on 14 July 2014, or if the meeting is adjourned to the Register of Members of the Company at 6.00 pm on the day which is two days before the day of any adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

1. Proxy appointments and voting instructions may be submitted electronically at www.epoxyappointment.com where full instructions on the procedure are given. To be valid, electronic appointments must be received by the Company's registrars, Computershare Investor Services PLC, not later than 10.00 am on 14 July 2014.

For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
