If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account). 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).
    1. Under Luxembourg law, you may only appoint more than one proxy if (i) you hold shares in more than one securities account or (ii) if you act professionally on behalf of natural or legal persons. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see over) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by marking the box (see over) if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
    1. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same share, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
    1. Any alterations to this form should be initialled.
    1. The "Vote Withheld" option 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.
    1. Entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast at the meeting will be determined by reference to the Share Register of the Company as at 12:00 midnight (CET) on Monday 16 July 2018. Changes to entries on the Share Register after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

For this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Company's Share Register in respect of their joint holdings.
    1. The completion and return of this form will not preclude a member from attending the meeting and voting in person.
