-
You can appoint the Chairman of the meeting or anyone else to be your proxy at the AGM. You can also, if you wish, appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. You can only appoint proxies using the procedures set out in these notes.
To appoint the Chairman as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, sign and date the Proxy Form, but leave all other proxy appointment details blank.
To appoint a single proxy in respect of all your shares other than the Chairman, cross out only the words 'the Chairman of the meeting or' and insert the name of your proxy. Then complete the rest of the Proxy Form, but leave all other proxy appointment details blank.
To appoint more than one proxy you should photocopy the Proxy Form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which you authorise them to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by marking the box on the Proxy Form provided for the purpose if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All Proxy Forms must be signed and should be returned to the Registrars.
-
The Proxy Form gives your proxy or proxies full rights to attend, speak and vote. If you wish to restrict the rights of your proxies please cross out either or both of the words 'speak' or 'vote' as you feel appropriate.
-
Please indicate with an 'X' either under the column 'For' or the column 'Against' how you wish your proxy to vote. If you wish your proxy to abstain from voting you should indicate with an 'X' under the 'Withheld' column. This is not a vote in law and will not be calculated in the proportion of the votes for and against a resolution.
-
Unless otherwise instructed, your proxy may vote or abstain on the resolution, and in respect of any other business which may properly be conducted at the meeting including (without limitation) any resolution to adjourn the meeting or to amend a resolution, at his or her discretion.
