- If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the General Meeting, please delete the words "the Chair of the General Meeting or" and insert the name of your desired proxy in the space provided.

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.
