Notes

1. To appoint as a proxy a person other than the Chairman of the meeting insert their full name in the space provided. To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrars or you may photocopy this form. If you appoint more than one proxy, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking 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. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

2. Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy the proxy will vote as he thinks fit or, at his discretion, abstain from voting.

3. The Form of Proxy overleaf must arrive not later than 12 noon on 23 April 2018 at Link Asset Services, PXS 1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4ZF during usual business hours accompanied by any power of attorney under which it is executed (if applicable). If you prefer, you may return the Form of Proxy to the Registrar in an envelope addressed to FREEPOST Link PXS. Please note that delivery using this service can take up to five business days.

4. A corporation must execute the Form of Proxy under either its common seal or the hand of a duly appointed officer or attorney.

5. The Form of Proxy is for use in respect of the shareholder account specified overleaf only and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account.

6. 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.

7. Ordinary 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. Ordinary shareholders wishing to vote online should visit www.signalshares.com and follow the instructions.

8. In the case of joint holders, the signature of only one of the joint holders is required but, if more than one votes, the vote of the first named on the Register of Members will be accepted to the exclusion of the other joint holders.

9. 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 Register of Members of the Company at close of business on 23 April 2018. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.
