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 EGM, the proxy will vote as he/she thinks fit or abstain from voting.
    1. On any other business which may properly come before the EGM or any adjourned EGM and whether procedural and/or substantive in nature (including any motion to amend a resolution or adjourn the EGM) not specified in the Notice of the EGM or this Form of Proxy, the proxy will act at his/her discretion.

If you wish to appoint more than one proxy, please contact the Company's Registrars, Link Registrars Limited, at +353 (0)1 553 0050.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Companies Act, 1990 (Uncertificated Securities) Regulations, 1996.
