Notes

  1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual 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 "Abstain" option is provided to enable you or your proxy to abstain from voting on any resolution. However, it should be noted that a vote to Abstain is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes cast "For" or "Against" a resolution.
  3. The date must be filled in on this form of proxy when it is signed.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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).
  7. 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.
  8. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialed by the signatory or signatories.
  9. The return of this form will not prevent you from attending the meeting and voting in person.
  10. This proxy must be received by the Company's Registrars:

Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd

15 Biermann Avenue
Rosebank 2196
OR

Notes

  1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual 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 "Abstain" option is provided to enable you or your proxy to abstain from voting on any resolution. However, it should be noted that a vote to Abstain is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes cast "For" or "Against" a resolution.
  3. The date must be filled in on this form of proxy when it is signed.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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).
  7. 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.
  8. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialed by the signatory or signatories.
  9. 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 number 3RA50) not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
  10. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50) by the latest time for receipt of proxy appointments specified in Note 12 below. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
  11. The return of this form will not prevent you from attending the meeting and voting in person.
  12. This proxy must be received by the Company's Registrars:

Computershare Investor Services PLC

The Pavilions,

Bridgwater Road,

Bristol, BS99 6ZY

not later than 11.00 am (UK time) on Monday 06 August 2018. Proxy forms received after this time will not be valid.
