To be effective, all proxy appointments must be lodged with the Company's registrars at:

Explanatory Notes:
- Every holder 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 Chair, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). A Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend and vote at the meeting provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares held by that Shareholder. 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 left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account). Where a poll is taken at the AGM, a Shareholder, present in person or proxy, holding more than one share is not required to cast all their votes in the same way.
- To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on +353 1 447 5101 or you may photocopy the reverse only of 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 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.
- To be effective, the completed Form of Proxy together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed, or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be deposited with the Registrar of the Company before the deadline set out above. A Shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy by electronic means may do so on the Registrar's website www.eproxyappointment.com. Details of the requirements are set out above. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint more than one proxy by electronic means must contact the Registrars by sending an email to [email protected]
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 (Ireland) Limited accept no liability for any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.
- 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.
- Pursuant to Section 1105 of the Companies Act, 2014, entitlement to attend 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 p.m. on the day which is four days before the date of the meeting or if the AGM is adjourned, at 6:00 p.m. on the day which is four days before the date appointed for the adjourned meeting. 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.
- Following the migration of the Company's ordinary shares from the CREST system to the securities settlement system operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV("Euroclear Bank") (the "EB System") on 15 March 2021, the process for appointing a proxy and/or voting at the meeting will depend on the manner in which you hold your ordinary shares. This Form of Proxy is for completion by shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company (i.e. those who hold their ordinary shares in registered form) and who wish to appoint a proxy for the AGM. Persons who hold their interests in ordinary shares as Belgian law rights through the EB System or as CREST Depository Interests through the CREST system should consult with their stockbroker or other intermediary at the earliest opportunity for further information on the processes and timelines for submitting proxy votes for the AGM through the respective systems.
- The above is how your address appears on the Register of Members. If this information is incorrect please ring the registrar's helpline on +353 1 447 5101 to request a change of address form or go to www.investorcentre.com/ie to use the online Investor Centre service.
- Any alterations made to this form should be initialed.
- The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a member from attending the meeting and voting in person.
