Attendance at the Annual General Meeting
If you attend the Meeting, please bring this card with you to show as evidence of your right to be admitted.
Notes
- Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting. A member so entitled may appoint (a) proxy(es), who need not be (a) member(s), to attend, speak and vote on his/her behalf.
- If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please insert his/her name and delete 'the Chairman of the Meeting or'.
- To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, on 0871 384 2132 (for UK callers. Calls to this number are charged at 8p per minute from a BT landline. Other telephone provider costs may vary) or +44 (0) 121 415 7034 (for non-UK callers) or you may copy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which he/she is authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the additional box provided if the proxy instruction is one of a number of separate instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together.
- Please indicate with an 'X' in the boxes provided how you wish your vote to be cast. Unless otherwise instructed, the person appointed as proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to how he/she votes or whether he/she abstains from voting on any particular resolution and on any other business (including amendments to resolutions and any procedural business), which may come before the Meeting.
-
The 'Withheld' option on the Form of Proxy is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, 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.
-
A corporation must seal the Form of Proxy or have it signed by an officer, an attorney or another person authorised to sign it.
- In the case of joint holders, only one need sign the Form of Proxy, but the vote of the senior 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. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding.
- To be valid the Form of Proxy must reach the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, by no later than 11.00am on Wednesday, 25 May 2011 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time of the holding of the adjourned Meeting. The appointment of a proxy does not prevent a member from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.
- Electronic Proxy Appointment ('EPA') is available for this Meeting. To use this facility you must visit www.sharevote.co.uk where details of the procedure are shown. The Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown below will be required to complete the procedure. EPA will not be valid if received after 11.00am on Wednesday, 25 May 2011 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time of the holding of the adjourned Meeting, and will not be accepted if found to contain a computer virus.
- The CREST electronic proxy appointment service is available for this Meeting. To use this service CREST members should transmit a CREST proxy instruction, using the procedures described in the CREST Manual, so as to reach the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, (CREST participant ID RA19) by no later than 11.00am on Wednesday, 25 May 2011 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time of the holding of the adjourned Meeting.
