Explanatory Notes to the Proxy Form:
- 1 As a member of the Company you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting on your behalf. You should appoint a proxy using the procedure set out in these Explanatory Notes.
- 2 A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the Meeting to represent you. If you wish to appoint as a proxy a person other than the Chairman of the Meeting, please delete the words "the Chairman of the Meeting" and insert the full name of the other person in the box provided on this Proxy Form. 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).
- 3 The completion and return of this Proxy Form will not prevent you from attending in person and speaking and voting at the Meeting should you subsequently decide to do so.
- 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. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional Proxy Form(s) may be obtained by contacting Capita Asset Services on 0871 664 0300 (calls cost 12 pence per minute plus network extras, lines are open 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Monday to Friday or on +44 208 639 3399 (if calling from outside the UK), or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name 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. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
-
5 If you wish your proxy to cast all of your votes for or against a resolution you should insert an "X" in the appropriate box. If you wish your proxy to cast only certain votes for and certain votes against, insert the relevant number of shares in the appropriate box. The "Vote Withheld" option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy to abstain from voting on a particular resolution. A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution. 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.
-

Where the member is a corporation, the Proxy Form must be executed under its common seal or signed by a duly authorised representative of the corporation, stating their capacity (e.g. director, secretary). In the case of joint holders, any one holder may sign this Proxy Form. The vote of the senior joint holder (whether in person or by proxy) will be taken to the exclusion of all others, seniority being determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding.

Changes to entries on the register of members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend, speak and vote at the meeting.
- 9 CREST members wishing to appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system must ensure that, in order for such CREST Proxy Instruction to be effective, it is received by the Company's agent, Capita Asset Services (Participant ID number RA10) no later than 48 hours, excluding weekends or Bank Holidays, before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is sent. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which Capita Asset Services is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
