Notes:
-
- To be valid, this form of proxy, together with a duly signed and dated power of attorney or any other authority (if any) under which it is executed (or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or other authority) must be signed and dated and lodged with the Company's registrar at the address below, by 12 noon on 4 July 2025 (or, if the meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours (not including any day that is not a normal business day) before the time of any adjourned meeting).
-
- Members are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. Proxies can only be appointed using the procedures set out in these notes and the Notice of AGM.
-
- Please indicate with an 'X' in the appropriate box how you wish the proxy to vote. In the absence of any indication, the proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to whether and how he/she votes. The proxy may also vote or abstain from voting as he/she thinks fit on any other business which may properly come before the AGM.
-
- If you mark the box 'Vote Withheld', it will mean that your proxy will abstain from voting and, accordingly, your vote will not be counted either for or against the relevant resolution. It should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law.
-
- If you mark the box 'Discretionary', the proxy can vote as he/she chooses or can decide not to vote at all in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting, including a motion to adjourn.
-
- The form of proxy should be signed and dated by the member, or his attorney duly authorised in writing. If the appointer is a corporation this proxy should be under seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. Any alteration made to the form of proxy should be initialled.
-
- A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. If no name is inserted in the box provided, the Chair of the meeting will be deemed appointed as the proxy. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. If you are appointing more than one proxy, you must state the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy and indicate by ticking the relevant box that the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments being made. Multiple proxy appointments should be returned together.
-
- Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the Chair, you are responsible for ensuring that they attend the meeting and are aware of your voting intentions. If you wish for your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint someone other than the Chair and give them any relevant instructions directly.
-
- In the case of joint holders, signature of any one holder will be sufficient, but the names of all the joint holders should be stated. The vote of the senior holder (according to the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the holding) who tenders a vote in person or by proxy will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s).
-
- Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, as amended, the Company specifies that entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM, and the number of votes which may be cast at the AGM, will be determined by reference to the Company's register of members at 6:30 p.m. on 4 July 2025 or, if the AGM is adjourned, at close of business on the date which is two days before the day of the adjourned AGM (as the case may be). In each case, changes to the register of members after such time will be disregarded.
-
- Completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude a member from attending the AGM and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person and vote, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
-
- CREST members who wish to utilise the CREST proxy appointment service may do so by following the procedures described in the CREST manual and the Notice of AGM.
-
- If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 12 noon on 4 July 2025 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them, and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
-
- The resolutions set out in the table above are a summary of the resolutions proposed at the AGM for the purpose of identification only. Please see the notice convening the AGM for the full text of each resolution.
