Notes
- If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the AGM, please insert the name of your desired proxy in the space provided. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the AGM, you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chair) and give your instructions directly to them. If you sign and return the Form of Proxy with no name inserted in the space provided, the Chair of the AGM will be deemed to be your proxy.
- 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.
- You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each such proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares. To appoint more than one proxy, you should photocopy this Form of Proxy. On each Form of Proxy, please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which you authorise that person to act as your proxy. The total number of shares entered on all the Forms of Proxy you submit must not exceed the number of shares you hold in the Company. Please also indicate, by marking the relevant box, if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given.
- If no number of shares is entered, the proxy will be authorised to act on your behalf in relation to your entire shareholding in the Company.
- To be valid, all Forms of Proxy must be signed and returned to Freepost RTHJ-CLLL-KBKU, Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, BN99 8LU in the enclosed envelope so as to be received by no later than 10:00am on 6 May 2022. A stamp is not required if posted in the UK. Where multiple Forms of Proxy are completed, they should be returned together in the same envelope.
- The Form of Proxy must be signed and dated by the member or his/her duly appointed attorney. A Form of Proxy for a corporate body must be either signed by a duly authorised person or attorney of such body or executed under its common seal or in any other manner authorised by its constitution. If this Form of Proxy is signed under a power of attorney or other authority, that power of attorney or other authority (or a certified copy thereof executed in ink by a bank, a stockbroker or a solicitor) must be provided with the signed Form of Proxy.
- In the case of joint holders, any one holder may sign the Form of Proxy. If more than one joint holder tenders a vote in person or by proxy, the vote of the person whose name stands first in the register will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holder(s).
- Completion of this Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM should you so wish.
- As an alternative to completing this Form of Proxy, if you are registered with Equiniti Registrars' online portfolio service, Shareview, you can appoint your proxy electronically by logging on to your portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk and clicking on the link to vote.
