NOTES

    1. Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. A member so entitled may appoint a proxy or proxies, who need not be members, to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend, speak and vote on his or her behalf.
    1. 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. 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 on the Proxy Form the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If this box is 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 the Chairman of the Meeting as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, sign and date the Proxy Form and indicate your voting instructions, but leave all other proxy appointment details blank. To appoint a single proxy in respect of all your shares other than the Chairman of the Meeting, 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 (together) to the Registrar (in the same envelope). As set out in the Chairman's letter on pages 1 to 7 of the AGM Notice, you are encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, with voting instructions (depending on any restrictions on public gatherings or other government measures at the time of the AGM, it may not be possible for other named proxies to attend).
    1. 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.
    1. 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.
    1. Unless otherwise instructed, your proxy may vote or abstain on the resolutions as he or she sees fit. In respect of any other business which may properly be conducted at the meeting including (without limitation) any motion to adjourn the meeting or to amend a resolution, your proxy may act at his or her discretion.
    1. In the case of joint holders, the signature of any one holder will be sufficient, but the names of the joint holders should be stated. The vote of the senior joint holder (according to the order in which the names stand in the register in respect of the holding) who tenders a vote in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the vote of the other joint holder(s).
    1. In the case of a corporation, this Proxy Form should be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an attorney or duly authorised officer of the corporation.

    1. If you wish, you may register the appointment of a proxy for the meeting electronically at www.sharevote.co.uk using the Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown on the Proxy Form.
