- If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting, please delete the words 'the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting or' and insert the name of your desired proxy in the space provided. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the Annual General Meeting, you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chairman) and give your instructions directly to them.
- To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions, please mark the appropriate box with an 'X'. Unless you indicate otherwise, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he/she thinks fit. The 'Vote withheld' option is to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. Please note that a 'Vote withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' the resolution. On any other business arising at the meeting (including any motion to amend a resolution or adjourn the meeting) the proxy will act at his or her discretion.
