Notes

1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the general meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy (who need not be a shareholder of the Company) to attend, and, on a poll, to vote in the shareholder's place. Each resolution is to be decided on a poll and a shareholder or proxy shall have one vote for every share held. If you do not indicate how you wish your proxy to use your vote (by placing a cross in the relevant boxes) on any particular matter or motion put to the meeting, the proxy will exercise their discretion as to how to vote.
2. The date must be filled in on this form of proxy when it is signed.
3. To appoint more than one proxy, one or more additional proxy forms may be obtained by contacting the Registrar at the address below or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name (see reverse) 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 must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
4. If you are signing in a representative capacity, whether for another person or for an organisation, then, in order for this form to be valid, you must include a power of attorney or other written authority that authorises you to sign (or a certified copy of such power or authority).
5. In the case of a company, this form of proxy should either be sealed by the company or signed by a director or an authorised signatory (and the provisions of paragraph 4 shall apply to such authorised signatory).
6. In the case of joint shareholders only one need sign. If more than one joint shareholder votes, whether in person or by proxy, only the most senior shareholder who renders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be counted. For this purpose, seniority is determined by the order in which shareholders' names appear in the register for that share.
7. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory or signatories.
8. The return of this form will not prevent you from attending the meeting and voting in person.
