If you wish to register your proxy appointment in paper form, please note the following:
(a) You may delete the words 'the Chairman of the meeting or' and insert the name of a proxy of your choice in the box, who need not be a member. Please initial that alteration.
(b) To appoint more than one proxy, additional forms of proxy may be obtained by contacting Equiniti Limited, on 0871 384 2990¹ (from inside the United Kingdom) or +44 121 415 7066¹ (from outside the United Kingdom) or you may copy this form. Please indicate in the box (next to the proxy's name) the number of shares for which the proxy is authorised to act. Please also indicate, by ticking the box provided, if the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments made. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the reply paid envelope provided.
(c) The form of proxy and, if relevant, the power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed (or a certified copy) must be received by Equiniti Limited, by 11.30 am on Tuesday 15 May 2012. Please return the form using the reply paid envelope provided. If the form is posted outside the United Kingdom, you will need to pay the postage.

(e) For joint holders, the signature of any one holder will suffice. If multiple instructions are received, the instructions of the most senior joint holder will be accepted and seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members for the joint holding.

The vote withheld option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy not to vote on any particular resolution. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not, therefore, be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for or against a resolution.
