Shareholders are advised that unless otherwise provided, the telephone numbers, website and email addresses set out in this document are not to be used for the purpose of serving information or documents on the Company (including the service of documents or information relating to proceedings at the Company's AGM).
If you cannot attend the AGM, but wish to vote on the resolutions, you are entitled to appoint someone else as a 'Proxy'. A Proxy need not be a member of the Company and
can exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. A Proxy must vote as you have instructed.
A Proxy will vote at his or her discretion or abstain from voting, as he or she sees fit, on any resolution on which you do not give a specific instruction and, unless instructed otherwise, on any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may properly come before the meeting.
This form constitutes a Form of Appointment of Proxy and enables you to cast votes attaching to your Marks and Spencer Group plc shares.
The 'vote withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
This form assumes you wish to vote all of your shares in the same way. To vote only part of your holding or to vote some shares one way and some another, please contact the shareholder helpline on 0345 609 0810 or +44 121 415 7071 from outside the UK.
