Notes
-
- Every shareholder 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 over). 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).
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- Any alterations to this form should be initialled.

- 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.
-
- 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 number of shares held by a shareholder as at 12:00 midnight (CEST) on Thursday 15 July 2021. By this time the shareholder must have their name entered on the Register of Shareholders of the Company, or be recorded as holding those shares in an account with LuxCSD being the Company's appointed settlement organisation for dematerialised shares. Transfers of shares which are registered or recorded in either such way after this time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.
-
- In the case of joint holdings, unless otherwise notified to the Company by the joint holders, the vote of the senior joint holder who tenders voting instructions will be accepted to the exclusion of the voting instructions of the other joint holder(s). 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.
-
- The completion and return of this form will not preclude a member from attending the meeting and voting in person.
-
- The Form of Proxy must arrive at Banque Internationale à Luxembourg S.A., Attn: Common Depository Team, 69, Route d'Esch, L-2953 Luxembourg, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, so as to be received by no later than 12:00 noon (CEST) on Tuesday 27 July 2021.
