Notes
- 1 A proxy need not be a member of the Company. A member who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint another person, or two or more persons in respect of different shares held by him, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting.
- 2 The appointment of the Chairman of the meeting as proxy has been included for convenience. In order to appoint any other person as proxy, delete the words "the Chairman of the meeting or" and insert the name of the person appointed proxy in the space provided. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part only of your shareholding, please enter in the box next to the proxy's name the number of shares in relation to which he/she is authorised to act as your proxy. If the box is left blank, he/she will be authorised in respect of your entire shareholding.
- 3 In order to appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) can be obtained from the Company's registrar, Capita Registrars, on 0871 664 0300 (calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras. Lines are open 8.30 am till 5.30 pm Monday to Friday) or you may photocopy this form. Please enter in the box next to the proxy's name the number of shares in relation to which he/she is authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate, by marking the relevant box, if the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments being made. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
- 4 Unless otherwise instructed, a proxy may vote or refrain from voting on all of the resolutions, and in respect of any other business which may properly come before the meeting, at his discretion. The "Vote withheld" option enables members to instruct their proxy not to vote on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a vote withheld in this way is not a "vote" in law and will not be counted in the votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.
- 5 In order to appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) through the CREST system, the appropriate CREST message must be received by Capita Registrars (ID number RA10), as the Company's "issuer's agent", by 11 am on 22 July 2013. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied by the CREST Applicants Host) from which Capita Registrars is first able to retrieve the message.
CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members should refer to their CREST sponsor for assistance with appointing proxies via the CREST system. In certain circumstances, the Company may, in accordance with the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 or the CREST Manual, treat a CREST proxy appointment instruction as invalid.
- 6 This form must be signed and dated by the member or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing. If the member is a company, it must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer or attorney or other person authorised to sign.
- 7 In the case of joint holders, the signature of any one will be sufficient, but the names of all joint holders should be stated. The vote of the senior joint holder (according to the order in which the names stand in the register in respect of the shareholding) who tenders a vote in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the vote of the other joint holder(s).
- 8 In order to be valid, the form of proxy, together with any power of attorney or other written authority under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy or a copy certified in accordance with the Powers of Attorney Act 1971 of such power or written authority, must be completed, signed and returned so as to reach the Company's registrar, Capita Registrars, at PXS, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU by no later than 11 am on 22 July 2013.
- 9 Electronic Proxy Appointment (EPA) is available for this meeting. If you would like to submit your proxy form using the web-based voting facility, go to www.capitashareportal.com and select "Register" if you have not previously registered for this service. You will be asked for your investor code shown on this proxy form. EPA will not be valid if received after 11 am on 22 July 2013 and will not be accepted if found to contain a computer virus.
- 10 The right of a member of the Company to vote at the meeting will be determined by reference to the register of members. A member must be registered on that register by 6 pm on 22 July 2013 in order to be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting as a member in respect of those shares.
- 11 The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from attending the meeting or at any adjournment thereof and voting in person.
