Notes to the Proxy Form
-
- A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
-
- Only holders of ordinary shares or their duly appointed representatives are entitled to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can appoint the Chairman or a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote on your behalf. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of securities in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or in the case of a corporate shareholder, the full voting entitlement for each relevant designated account). Submission of a proxy appointment will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting.
