IMI plc - ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Shareholder's Attendance Card

Notes:

Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space indicated by an asterisk (see overleaf). 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 (see overleaf) 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 the proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
To appoint more than one proxy (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0871 384 2916, or from overseas on +44 121 415 7047 (lines are open 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays), calls to this number are charged at 8p per minute plus network extras) or you may photocopy the proxy 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 of proxy must be signed and should be returned together. You must inform the Registrars in writing of any termination of the authority of a proxy.
In the case of a corporation the form of proxy must be executed under seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised.
In the case of joint holders, the signature of any holder will be sufficient. The vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders; seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members.
Forms of proxy, to be valid, must be lodged at the office of the Registrars at the address opposite not less than forty-eight hours before the time of the meeting.
The completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude shareholders from attending and voting in person instead of their proxy.
Signature(s) need not be witnessed.
The vote withheld option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy not to vote on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a vote withheld in this way is not a 'vote' in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution.
Only those shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company as at 6pm on 7 May 2013 (or, in the event of any adjournment, on the date which is two days before the time of the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend or vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members made after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, CREST messages must be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) by 11am on 7 May 2013 using the procedure described in the CREST manual. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
The form of proxy should not be used for any comments, any queries or to notify a change of address. Please send a separate instruction.
