  • Notes 1 Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. A shareholder so entitled may appoint (a) proxy(ies), who need not be (a) shareholder(s), to exercise all or any of his/her rights to attend and to speak and vote his/her behalf at the meeting.
  • 2 You can appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") or anyone else to be your proxy at the AGM. You can also, if you wish, appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you.

  • To appoint a single proxy in respect of all your ordinary shares other than the Chairman, delete only the words "the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting" and insert the name of your proxy (who need not be a shareholder of the Company) and complete any voting instructions.
  • To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the registrar or you may photocopy the Form of Proxy. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name, the number of shares in relation to which you authorise them to act as your proxy and complete any voting instructions. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided on the Form of Proxy if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given.

  • 3 The Form of Proxy gives your proxy or proxies full rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM.

Changes to entries on the Register for certificated or uncertificated shares of the Company after the Specified Time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the AGM. Should the AGM be adjourned to a time not more than 48 hours after the Specified Time, that time will also apply for the purpose of determining the entitlement of members to attend and vote (and for the purpose of determining the number of votes they may cast) at the adjourned AGM.
