INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION OF PROXY FORM

  1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person[s] of their choice, who need not be a shareholder as his/her proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please delete the words 'the Chairman of the Meeting, or' and insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided. Please initial the amendment [unless you are completing an electronic version]. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box 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 proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).

  2. To appoint more than one proxy, an additional proxy form[s] may be obtained by contacting the Registrar or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate 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. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together or in the same envelope.

  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. Your proxy will vote or abstain from voting as he/she thinks fit on any other business which may properly come before the Meeting. If you tick the abstain your vote will not be counted in computing the required majority.

  5. In the case of joint shareholders, any of the shareholders may vote in respect of their holdings but, where more than one is present at the Meeting, only the first-named in the share register present at the Meeting in person or by proxy shall be entitled to vote.
