If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part of your holding only, enter in the box next to the proxy's name the number of shares for which they are authorised to act. Leaving this box blank will authorise your proxy to exercise your full voting entitlement.
-
- To appoint more than one proxy, either copy this form or obtain additional forms from the Company's Registrars Equiniti Limited on 0371 384 2173. If calling from outside of the UK, please ensure the country code is used. Lines are open 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Monday to Friday excluding UK public holidays. 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 and insert "X" in the adjacent box to indicate that the proxy is one of multiple appointments being made.

- In the absence of instructions, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he/she thinks fit on the specified resolutions and on any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may properly come before the meeting.
-
- The "Vote Withheld" option is provided to enable you to abstain from voting on any particular resolution. A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" a resolution.
-
- This form of proxy must be signed and dated by the shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing. In the case of joint holdings, any one holder may sign this form. The vote of the senior joint holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members. If the shareholder is a company, it may execute by the signature(s) of a duly authorised officer or attorney.
