FORM OF PROXY

NOTES

1* Please complete in block capitals with your full name and address.

2** If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chairman of the GM, please delete the words in brackets and insert the full name and address of your chosen proxy in block capitals on the line provided and initial alterations. If you sign and return this proxy form with no name inserted on the line, the chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the chairman of the meeting, it is your responsibility to ensure that that person attends the meeting and is aware of your voting intentions. If you wish your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint someone other than the chairman of the meeting and give that person your directions. In light of the social distancing measures imposed by the UK government as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, any proxy you appoint other than the Chairman will be refused entry to the meeting.

3 As a member of the Company you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend and to speak and vote at a meeting of the Company. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company. You may appoint more than one proxy in relation to a meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. If you wish to appoint more than one proxy, please photocopy the form of proxy and lodge all forms together at the address provided, deleting the word "ALL" and specifying (on each form) the number of shares in respect of which that proxy is appointed. In light of the social distancing measures imposed by the UK government as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, any proxy you appoint other than the Chairman will be refused entry to the meeting.

4 If you want your proxy to vote in a certain way on the resolutions specified please place a mark in the relevant boxes. If you fail to select any of the given options your proxy can vote as he/she chooses or can decide not to vote at all. The proxy can also do this on any other business (including a motion to adjourn the GM or to amend a resolution) which may properly come before the GM.

5*** The "Vote withheld" option is provided to enable you to abstain on a resolution. However it should be noted 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.

6 To be valid, this Form of Proxy must be received by post or (during normal business hours only) by hand at Link Asset Services, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Kent BR3 4TU, NOT LATER THAN 2.30 p.m. on 28 September 2020 (or in the case of any adjournment, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned meeting), together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a duly certified copy of such power or authority. The completion and return of this Form of Proxy will not, however, preclude you from attending and voting at the GM if you so wish. You are reminded that in light of social distancing measures imposed by the UK government as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, any member seeking to attend the meeting in person will be refused entry.

7 If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same share for the purposes of the same meeting, the appointment last delivered or received shall prevail in conferring authority on the person named in it to attend the meeting and speak and vote.

8 Any alterations to this Form of Proxy should be initialled.

9 In the case of joint holders, the signature of the first named on the register of members will be accepted, but the names of all joint holders should be given.
