Notes:

1. To appoint as a proxy a person other than the Chairman of the meeting, cross out the words "the Chairman of the meeting" and write the full name of the person you wish to appoint in the space provided. If you wish your proxy to make comments on your behalf you will need to appoint someone other than the Chairman and give them relevant instructions directly. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
2. You may appoint one or more proxies of your choice to attend, speak and vote in your place at the meeting and any adjournment thereof, provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights in respect of different shares. To appoint more than one proxy (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting Capita Registrars or you may photocopy this document indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed. All forms must be signed and should be returned to Capita Registrars in the same envelope.
3. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, abstain from voting.
4. The form of proxy must arrive not later than 48 hours before the time set for the meeting at Capita Asset Services, PXS 1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4ZF.

6. The form of proxy is only for use in respect of the shareholder account specified and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account.
7. The "vote withheld" option is to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. Such a vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the votes "For" and "Against" a resolution.
8. Shares held in uncertificated form (i.e. in CREST) may be voted through the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST manual.
9. The completion of this or additional proxy forms or any CREST proxy instructions will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the meeting.
