Explanatory Notes:

  • 1. This proxy form is furnished in connection with the solicitation, by or on behalf of the management of the Centamin plc, number 109180 (the "Company"), of proxies to be used at the Meeting or at any adjournment thereof.
  • 2. 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, you should follow the procedure set out in these explanatory notes. Please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). If you sign and return this proxy form with no name inserted in the space provided (see reverse), the Chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. On any poll that may be called for, the Ordinary Shares represented by a properly executed proxy given in favour of the person(s) designated by management of the Company herein will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot, and if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Ordinary Shares will be voted accordingly. 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).
  • 3. Every shareholder is entitled to appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to a different share or shares held by the shareholder. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on +44 (0)370 707 4040 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 dated and should be returned together in the same envelope.
  • 4. If you wish your proxy to cast all of your votes for or against a resolution you should insert an "X" in the appropriate box. If you wish your proxy to cast only certain votes for and certain votes against, insert the relevant number of shares in the appropriate box. 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. In the absence of instructions, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he or she thinks fit on the specified resolutions and, unless instructed otherwise, may also vote or abstain from voting as he or she thinks fit on any other business which may properly come before the Meeting.
