Notes:
-
A shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting may appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any their rights to vote instead of them.
-
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company and can be either an individual or a body corporate. At the meeting, the proxy can act for the member they represent. However, the Board recommends that shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy appoint the Chair of the meeting. To appoint someone other than the Chair of the meeting as your proxy, please delete the words "Chair of the meeting" and insert the name of your proxy in the space indicated. You may appoint more than one proxy; please see note 3 in the Notice of AGM.
-
Please specify the number of shares to be voted if not your entire holding.
-
To be valid, your signed and dated proxy form must be: (i) deposited together with any power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such power or authority, at the offices of the Company's registrar: Equiniti, Highdown House, Yeoman Way, Worthing BN99 6DA; (ii) sent electronically (via www.shareview.co.uk); or (iii) for shares held through the CREST proxy voting system, by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com) as soon as possible and no later than 11:00 am on Tuesday 14 July 2026. In the case of a corporation, the proxy form should be executed under its common seal and/or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney.
-
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) by 11:00 am on Tuesday 14 July 2026. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
-
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
-
If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Company's registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11:00 am on Tuesday 14 July 2026 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them, and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
-
The "Withheld" box 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 votes "for" and "against" a resolution but will be counted to establish if a quorum is present.
-
In the absence of instructions, the person appointed proxy may vote or refrain from voting as they think fit on the specified resolutions and, unless instructed otherwise, the person appointed proxy may also vote or refrain from voting as they think fit on any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may properly come before the meeting.
-
Only those shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 14 July 2026 shall be entitled to attend or vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members after 6.30 pm on Tuesday 14 July 2026 shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
-
In the case of joint registered holders, the signature of one holder on a proxy card will be accepted and the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand on the register of members of the Company in respect of the relevant joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
-
Return of this form of proxy will not prevent a registered shareholder from attending the meeting and voting in person.
