Date

Any one joint holder may sign (see note (d) overleaf)


Notes:

(a) Every shareholder has the right to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of his/her rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. Please indicate how you wish your proxy to vote by marking the appropriate boxes with an "X". If you do not indicate how you wish to vote, the proxy will vote or abstain from voting, as he/she thinks fit, on the specified resolution and on any other business (including adjournments and amendments to the resolution) which may properly come before the meeting.

(b) If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair please strike out the words "the Chair of the meeting" and insert the name of the proxy desired in the space provided and initial the alteration. Such other proxy need not be a member of the Company, but must attend the meeting in person to represent the member appointing him/her. If you sign and return this proxy form with no name inserted in the box, the Chair of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy.

(c) Please insert the number of shares to which the form of proxy applies. Where a form of proxy does not state the number of shares to which it applies (a "blank proxy") then, subject to the principles in note (f) where more than one proxy is appointed, the proxy is deemed to have been appointed in relation to the total number of shares registered in the name of the appointing shareholder (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).

(d) In the case of joint holders, only one needs to sign. If more than one joint holder votes, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. For this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the holders' names appear in the register of shareholders.

(e) In the case of a corporation, the proxy must be executed under its common seal or signed by a duly authorised officer, representative or attorney whose capacity must be stated. In the case of an individual, the proxy must be signed by the appointor or by his agent duly authorised in writing.

(f) You may appoint more than one proxy to attend, speak and vote provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy each proxy must be appointed on a separate form of proxy. Please contact the Company's registrars, Equiniti by telephoning 0371 384 2866 (from the UK) or +44 121 415 7047 (overseas) to obtain an additional form, or you may photocopy this form. Lines are open 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday except on public holidays. 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.

(g) This form of proxy, to be valid, must be duly completed and signed and must be lodged with the Company's registrars, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA not later than 48 hours before the time of the meeting or adjourned meeting, together with the authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of such authority. Alternatively, members can appoint proxies electronically by logging on to the website www.sharevote.co.uk. You will need your unique voting reference numbers (the Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown on your form of proxy). For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, the appointment must be received by no later than 10.00am on Tuesday 25 May 2021. CREST members should use the instructions for electronic proxy appointment through CREST set out below.

(h) Lodgement of a proxy will not preclude any shareholder from attending and voting at the meeting.

(i) If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

(j) Any alteration made to this form of proxy must be initialed by the person who signs it.

(k) CREST members who wish to appoint one or more proxies by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual and should also refer to the notes to the Notice of Meeting.

(l) The "Vote Withheld" option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy to abstain from voting on a particular resolution. A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution but will be counted to establish if a quorum is present.

(m) For details of how to change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy appointment see the notes to the Notice of Meeting.

(n) You may not use any electronic address provided in this form of proxy to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.
