NOTES
- You have the right to appoint one or more proxies in relation to the Meeting (who need not be a shareholder of the Company) to attend in person and exercise all or any of your rights to speak and vote on your behalf at the Meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to different shares held by you.
If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of the desired proxy in the space provided. That person may exercise all your rights to attend, speak and vote on your behalf at the Meeting. 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 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 Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account). Any alteration to this Form of Proxy should be initialled by the person signing it.
To appoint more than one proxy, you must complete a separate Form of Proxy for each proxy unless you are appointing your proxies electronically, in which case, please refer to note 7.
