Notes on appointing a proxy
-
- If you wish to appoint as your proxy someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting, insert his/her name in the space provided in the first box on the Proxy Form. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part of your holding only, enter the number of shares over which he/she is authorised to act as your proxy in the box next to the proxy's name. If this box is left blank, he/she will be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement.
-
- To appoint more than one proxy, you should obtain additional Proxy Forms from the company's registrar, Equiniti, or you may photocopy the Proxy Form. Ensure that you specify the number of shares over which each proxy can act, as in Note 1 above. Multiple Proxy Forms must be returned together in the same envelope.
-
- To be valid, the Proxy Form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed and dated must be received by Equiniti by 2.30pm on Monday 4 May 2020.
-
- The "Vote withheld" option is provided to enable a member to withhold his/her vote on any particular resolution. It should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
-
- To register the appointment of a proxy electronically, log on to www.sharevote.co.uk using the Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder reference number printed overleaf and follow the instructions provided. The proxy appointment must be registered on the website by 2.30pm on Monday 4 May 2020.
