NOTES:
-
A member entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM. A member may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares. A proxy need not be a member of Melrose Industries PLC (the "Company").
-
If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter the number of shares 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.
-
To appoint more than one proxy, you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy, and tick the box to indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms should be signed and returned together in the same envelope.
-
To be valid, your signed and dated proxy form(s) must be completed and deposited together with any power of attorney or authority under which it is completed or a certified copy of such power or authority at the offices of the Company's Registrars, Equinit, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lansing, West Sussex, BN89 6DA as soon as possible and no later than 11.00 am on 7 May 2019. In the case of a corporation, the proxy form(s) should be executed under its common seal and/or the hand of a duly authorised officer or person.
-
You may register your vote online or register the appointment of a proxy for this AGM by visiting Equinit's website at www.sharevote.co.uk and following the on-screen instructions. You will need your Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown on this form of proxy. CREST members may appoint a proxy or proxies electronically via Equinit ID PA156 not later than 11.00 am on 7 May 2019.
-
The "Withheld" box 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 will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "for" and "against" a resolution but will be counted to establish if a quorum is present.
-
Only those members registered in the register of members of the Company at 18.30 pm on 7 May 2019 shall be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the entries on the register of members after 18.30 pm on 7 May 2019 shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the AGM.
-
In the case of joint registered holders, the signature of one holder on a proxy form will be accepted and the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names appear on the register of members of the Company in respect of the relevant joint holding.
-
Returning this form of proxy will not prevent a registered member from attending the AGM and voting in person.
