Explanatory Notes

Proxies

  1. A member is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend and to speak and vote at the Annual General Meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the Annual General Meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder.
  2. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from subsequently attending and voting at the meeting in person. In the case of joint holders, any one holder may vote. If more than one holder is present at the meeting, only the vote of the senior will be accepted, seniority being determined in the order in which the names appear on the register. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see over) the number of shares in respect of which that proxy is appointed. Shareholders who return the Form of Proxy duly executed but leave this box blank will be deemed to have appointed the proxy in respect of all of their shares.
  3. Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their shareholding should contact the Company's Registrars, Equiniti Limited, on 0371 384 2868 or +44 (0)121 415 0205 if you are calling from outside the UK.¹

For additional Forms of Proxy you may photocopy this Form of Proxy indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in respect of which the proxy is appointed. All Forms of Proxy should be returned together in the same envelope.

Please indicate with a cross in the appropriate box how you wish your votes to be cast. In the absence of any specific direction, the proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) at his or her discretion. On any other business which properly comes before the Annual General Meeting (including any motion to amend any resolution or to adjourn the Annual General Meeting) the proxy will vote or abstain at his or her discretion.

  1. Your proxy appointment must be received no later than 48 hours before the time of the holding of the AGM (excluding non-working days) or any adjournment thereof and there are three methods available to do this:

i) online at www.sharevote.co.uk, where full details of the procedure are given. You will have to enter the voting ID, task ID and shareholder reference number shown on this form; or
ii) depositing this Form of Proxy, and any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed (or a duly certified copy of any such power or authority), with the Company's Registrars, Equiniti Limited, FREEPOST RTHJ-CLLL-KBKU, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 8LU, United Kingdom using the enclosed pre-paid envelope; or
iii) lodging the proxy appointment using the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the notes below.

  1. In the case of a corporate shareholder, this Form of Proxy should either be executed by the company under seal or signed by a Director or a duly authorised officer or attorney. In the case of joint holders, the vote of the first-named in the register of members of the Company will be accepted to the exclusion of that of other joint holders.

Record date

  1. Entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting, and the number of votes which may be cast at the meeting, will be determined by reference to the Company's register of members at close of business (6:30 p.m. UK time) on Friday 17 May 2019 or, if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting (as the case may be). In each case, changes to the register of members after such time will be disregarded.

CREST proxy instructions

  1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting (and any adjournment of the meeting) by following the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). The message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in Note 4 previously. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to a proxy appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
  2. CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
  3. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
