Impact of COVID-19

At the time of producing this Form of Proxy, the UK Government had prohibited public gatherings of more than two people and non-essential travel, save in certain limited circumstances. In light of this, shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM in person this year. The company will make arrangements such that the legal requirements to hold the meeting can be satisfied through the attendance of a minimum number of Directors or employees and the format of the meeting will be purely functional. Shareholders are therefore strongly encouraged to submit a proxy vote as soon as possible in advance of the meeting. Details are set out below, including how to appoint the chair of the meeting as a proxy. The full AGM notice is available at www.page.com.

If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman of the meeting, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided but please note the important COVID-19 information overleaf. If the 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 form of proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
    1. Shareholders can vote online at www.signalshares.com by logging in with your username or password and following the instructions.

    1. Pursuant to regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 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 8.00pm on the day which is two days before the day of the Meeting or adjourned meeting.

Please indicate with an 'X' in the spaces overleaf how you wish to vote at the Meeting. When no 'X' is inserted the proxy will at his discretion vote as he thinks fit or abstain from voting.
