Explanatory Notes:
- 1. Every shareholder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder as his/her proxy to exercise all or any of his/her rights, to attend, speak, ask questions and vote on his/her behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman of the meeting, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse).
- 2. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend, speak, ask questions and vote at the meeting provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares held by that shareholder. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on +353 1 247 5349 or you may photocopy 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. 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). All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. Where a poll is taken at the Annual General Meeting, a shareholder, present in person or proxy, holding more than one share is not required to cast all their votes in the same way.
- 3. 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 www.eproxyappointment.com. Details of the requirements are set out in the box above.
