If attending as a proxy please tick this box and print full name below
Notes on completing the Form of Proxy:
-
- Following the migration of the Company's ordinary shares from the CREST system ("CREST") 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 certificated (i.e. paper) 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 ("CDIs") through CREST 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. These processes and timelines are described in more detail under the heading "Further action" in the Letter from the Chair to shareholders in respect of the AGM and in notes 9 and 10 to the Notice of AGM. For voting services offered by custodians holding Irish corporate securities directly with Euroclear Bank, please contact your custodian.
-
- A shareholder who is entitled to attend, speak, ask questions and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak, ask questions and vote on his or her behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company but must attend the AGM to represent the shareholder.
-
- Please indicate how you wish your proxy to vote by placing an "X" in the appropriate box. If no specific instructions are given, the proxy will vote or withhold your vote at his/her discretion. The Vote Withheld option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. It should be noted, however, that it is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against the resolution. Unless otherwise directed and in respect of any other resolutions moved during the AGM, the proxy will vote as he/she thinks fit or abstain from voting.
-
- On any other business which may properly come before the AGM or any adjourned AGM and whether procedural and/or substantive in nature (including any motion to amend a resolution or adjourn the AGM) not specified in the Notice of the AGM or this Form of Proxy, the proxy will act at his/her discretion.
-
- A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend and vote at the AGM provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares held by that shareholder. A shareholder acting as an intermediary on behalf of one or more clients may grant a proxy to each of its clients or their nominees provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares held by that shareholder. If you wish to appoint more than one proxy, please contact the Company's Registrars, Link Registrars Limited, at +353 (0)1 553 0050.
-
- Where a proxy is not to have the authority to vote all shares registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should specify the number of shares which may be voted by the proxy, where indicated above. Where the number of shares is not inserted, a proxy will be deemed to have authority to vote all of the shares registered in the shareholder's name.
-
- To be valid, Form(s) of Proxy duly signed together with the power of attorney or such other authority (if any) under which they are signed (or a certified copy of such power or authority) must be lodged with the Company's Registrar, Link Registrars Limited, P.O. Box 1110, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland (if delivered by post) or at Link Registrars Limited, Block C, Maynooth Business Campus, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, W23 F854, Ireland (if delivered by hand) or received by the Company at its registered office, by no later than 11.00 am on Tuesday, 26 April 2022 (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the adjourned meeting).

- The Form of Proxy must (i) in the case of an individual, be signed by the appointer or by his/her attorney; and (ii) in the case of a body corporate, be given either under its common seal or be signed on its behalf by its duly authorised officer or attorney.

Shareholders will be asked to enter the Investor Code (IVC) as printed on their Form of Proxy and agree to certain conditions. A shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy by electronic means may do so any time up to 11.00 am on Tuesday, 26 April 2022 (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the adjourned meeting).
-
- In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holder(s).

-
- The completion and return of a Form of Proxy (including an electronic proxy appointment as described above) will not prevent a shareholder from attending and voting in person at the AGM, or any adjournment thereof, should they wish to do so, subject to compliance with applicable guidance and regulations in force in Ireland in respect of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

- All proxy voting instructions (whether submitted directly by way of a completed Form of Proxy in the case of holders of ordinary shares in certificated (i.e. paper) form or through the Euroclear System (in the case of Euroclear Bank participants) or CREST (in the case of holders of CDIs)) must be received by the Company's Registrar by no later than 11.00 am on Tuesday, 26 April 2022 (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the adjourned meeting). Persons holding interests in ordinary shares through the Euroclear System or CREST (via a holding in CDIs) will also need to comply with any additional voting deadlines imposed by the respective service offerings.

On a poll vote, every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every ordinary share of which he/she is the holder.
