    1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the meeting (or any adjournment of it) through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual on the Euroclear UK & Ireland ("Euroclear") website (www.euroclear.com/CREST).

  • who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. 13. 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's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is amendment to the instruction given previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) no later than 10.00 a.m. 26 June 2013 (or, if the meeting is adjourned, later than 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting, excluding any non-working days). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the Company's registrars are able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other
  • means. 14. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed voting service provider(s), to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) are
  • referred, in particular, those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. 15. The Company may treat CREST Proxy Instruction as invalid in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
    1. You may not use any electronic address provided in this form of proxy to communicate
  • with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.
