Attendance at Annual General Meeting
If you attend the Meeting, please bring this card with you to show as evidence of your right to be admitted to the Meeting.
Notes
- 1 Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to attend and vote and speak at the Meeting. A member so entitled may appoint (a)
- proxy(ies), who need not be (a) member(s), to attend, vote and speak on his/her behalf. 2 If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please insert his/her name and delete 'the Chairman of the Meeting or'. If a 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 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 (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
- 3 To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar's helpline on 0871 384 2065 (calls to this number are charged at 8p per minute from a BT landline. Other telephony provider costs may vary. Non-UK callers should dial +44 121 415 7088). Or 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. Please also indicate by ticking the box overleaf marked* if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
- 4 Please indicate with an 'X' in the boxes provided how you wish your vote to be cast in respect of each of the resolutions. Unless otherwise instructed, the person appointed a proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to how he/she votes or whether he/she abstains from voting on any particular resolution and on any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may come before the Meeting. The 'abstain' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that an election to abstain is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes cast 'for' and 'against' a resolution.
- 5 Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertified Securities Regulation 2001, entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at 6.00pm on the day which is two days before the Meeting or adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the Meeting.
- 6 A corporation must seal this Form of Proxy or have it signed by an officer or attorney or other person authorised to sign.
- 7 In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will 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 stand in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding.
