Explanatory notes:
-
- As a member of the Company you are legally entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting and any adjournment of it. You may only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
-
- Ordinarily, if you wished your proxy to speak on your behalf at the meeting, you would need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chairman) and give your instructions directly to them. However, for the reasons set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company is presently encouraging all shareholders to appoint the Chairman of the meeting (rather than their own choice of person) as their proxy. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If the current restrictions described in the Notice of Annual General Meeting are lifted, the appointment of a proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting in person should you so decide, but in such event, your proxy appointment(s) would automatically be terminated.
-
- You may specify how you wish your vote(s) to be cast on each of the resolutions by placing a mark in the appropriate boxes in the table above. Where you specify the "Discretionary" option, or do not specify any option at all, your proxy will, on receipt by the Company of this Proxy Form, duly signed, be authorised to vote, or abstain from voting,
as he/she thinks fit. Your proxy can also do this on any other resolution that is properly put to the meeting but not referred to above.
-
- The "Withheld" option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy not to vote on any particular resolution. A vote withheld in this way is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes "For" and "Against" a resolution.
-
- A corporation may execute this Proxy Form under its common seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney. In the case of joint shareholders, the names of both or all the joint holders should be stated but the signature of the first named holder on the register of members will be accepted to the exclusion of any other joint holder.
-
- To be valid, your Proxy Form must be properly completed and signed and delivered (together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) to Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 6DA. As an alternative, you can appoint a proxy electronically by authenticated email (attaching the documents referred to above) sent to [email protected]. Please state "Gresham AGM" in the subject line of the e-mail. In either case, the form must be received not later than 11.00am on 6 May 2021 (being 48 hours before the time fixed for the meeting, excluding non-working days).
