If you sign and return this Proxy Form with no name inserted in the box, the Chairman of the Meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. 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 (the * box) 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).

  • 4 You are entitled to appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to a different share or shares held by you.

In the absence of instructions, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he or she thinks fit on the specified resolutions and, unless instructed otherwise, may also vote or abstain from voting as he or she thinks fit on any other business which may properly come before the Meeting.
