Instructions for Appointment of Proxy

___________

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint no more than two proxies to attend and vote at the annual general meeting as the shareholder’s proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  1. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights. If such appointment is not made then each proxy may exercise half of the shareholder’s voting rights. Fractions shall be disregarded.

  2. The proxy form must be signed personally by the shareholder or his attorney, duly authorised in writing. If a proxy is given by a corporation, the proxy must be executed under either the common seal of the corporation or under the hand of an officer of the company or its duly authorised attorney. In the case of joint shareholders, this proxy must be signed by at least one of the joint shareholders, personally or by a duly authorised attorney.

  3. If a proxy is executed by an attorney of a shareholder, then the original of the relevant power of attorney or a certified copy of the relevant power of attorney, if it has not already been noted by the Company, must accompany the proxy form.

  4. To be effective, forms to appoint proxies must be received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the annual general meeting, by post or facsimile to the respective addresses stipulated in this proxy form.

  5. If the proxy form specifies a way in which the proxy is to vote on any of the resolutions stated above, then the following applies:

  6. a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way; and

  7. b) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  8. c) if the proxy is the Chairperson, the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote that way; and

  9. d) if the proxy is not the Chairperson, the proxy need not vote on a poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way.

  10. If a proxy is also a shareholder, the proxy can cast any votes the proxy holds as a shareholder in any way that the proxy sees fit.

  11. Where a voting exclusion applies, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides or it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

  12. The Chairman intends to vote for all resolutions set out.
