Explanatory Notes:

  • 1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as their proxy to exercise all or any of their rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. Given the anticipated restrictions on attendance at the Meeting, the Company strongly encourages all shareholders to vote by appointing the Chair of the Meeting as proxy. Appointing the Chair of the Meeting as proxy, rather than another named person, ensures your vote will be counted in the Meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chair of the Meeting, 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 their discretion as to whether, and if so how, they vote (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the proxy will exercise their discretion as to whether, and if so how, they vote).
  • 2. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Company's registrar's helpline on +44 (0) 370 889 3257 between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) or you may photocopy this form. 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 forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
  • 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.

Kindly Note: This form is issued only to the addressee(s) and is specific to the unique designated account printed hereon. This personalised form is not transferable between different: (i) account holders; or (ii) uniquely designated accounts. The Company and Computershare Investor Services PLC accept no liability for any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.

4. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 and Section 311 of the Companies Act 2006, entitlement to attend, speak 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 19 April 2021. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting.

Control Number: 916949

PIN: SRN:

  • 5. To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via a designated voting platform, any such messages must be received by the issuer's agent prior to 2.00 pm on 19 April 2021. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the relevant designated voting platform) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent via a designated voting platform in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
  • 6. The above is how your address appears on the Register of Members. If this information is incorrect please ring the Company's registrar's helpline on +44 (0) 370 889 3257 between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) to request a change of address form or go to www.investorcentre.co.uk to use the online Investor Centre service.
  • 7. Any alterations made to this form should be initialled.
  • 8. In the unlikely event that in-person attendance at the Meeting is permitted under the applicable Covid-19 restrictions in place at the time of the Meeting, the return of a completed proxy form will not prevent a shareholder from attending the Meeting and voting in person if the shareholder wishes to do so.
