  • 1 If you cannot attend the AGM but wish to vote on the resolutions, you are entitled to appoint someone else as proxy. Completion and return of a form of proxy does not ordinarily prevent a member from attending and voting at an annual general meeting. However, in light of the ongoing uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Directors strongly encourage you to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy to ensure that your votes are counted.
  • 2 If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the AGM as your proxy, please insert his/her name in the space provided and delete 'the Chairman of the meeting'.
  • 3 To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Company's Registrar, Equiniti on 0371 384 2734 from within the UK or +44 (0)121 415 0804 from outside the UK (calls to this number from outside the UK will be charged at applicable international rates). Lines are open 8.30am to 5.30pm (UK time) (Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales). Alternatively, you may copy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name, the number of shares in relation to which he/she is authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement. Please also indicate by ticking the additional box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple separate instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together. As noted above, however, the Directors strongly encourage you to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy to ensure that your votes are counted.
  • 4 The 'Vote withheld' option on the form of proxy is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, 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.
  • 5 If the form of proxy is signed by someone else on your behalf, the original or a certified copy of the document evidencing their authority to sign must be returned with the form of proxy. If the shareholder is a corporation, the form must be executed under its common seal or signed by an officer, attorney or other person duly authorised by the corporation.
  • 6 In the case of a joint holding, any holder may sign. Where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
  • 7 To be valid, the form of proxy must reach the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, or, if you wish to vote via the internet (www.sharevote.co.uk) or CREST, your EPA or CREST proxy instruction, respectively, must be received, by no later than 3pm (UK time) on 28 March 2022 or if the AGM is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time for holding the adjourned AGM.
  • 8 Full details of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, with further explanatory notes, are set out in the 2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting enclosed with this card.
  • 9 If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same shares, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
