If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse). 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 (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If returned without an indication as to how the proxy shall vote on any particular matter, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the proxy will exercise his discretion as to whether, and if so how, he votes.

2. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrar’s helpline on 0370 707 4040 or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder’s name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy.

3. The ‘Vote Withheld’ option overleaf is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a ‘Vote Withheld’ is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes ‘For’ and ‘Against’ a resolution.

4. 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 6.00 pm British Summer Time on 22 June 2018. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

5. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certifi ed copy of such power of attorney or authority) must be included with the proxy form.

6. In the case of joint holders, 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 Register of Members of the Company in respect of the joint holder (the fi rst-named being the most senior).

7. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment in respect of the same share at the same meeting, the appointment last delivered or received before the latest time for receipt of proxies shall be treated as replacing or revoking the others as regards that share.

8. You must inform the Registrars in writing of any termination of the authority of the proxy.
