Explanatory Notes:

  • 1. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in response to the UK Government's restrictions on public gatherings and travel, the arrangements and format of this year's AGM will differ from previous years. In the interest of the health and safety of our employees, shareholders and other stakeholders, this year's AGM will take place as a closed meeting and shareholders should therefore not attend the AGM in person. All shareholders are encouraged to vote by way of proxy via a designated voting platform. You should appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy (any other proxy will not be allowed to attend the meeting unless it is for the purpose of forming the quorum). Should the government relax the restrictions on public gatherings and travel, or other measures prior to the AGM, alternative arrangements will be considered. Shareholders are therefore advised to check the Company's website for up-to-date information in relation to the AGM.
  • 2. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf is provided to enable you to withhold your vote 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.
  • 3. 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 the close of business on 24 November 2020. 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.

Kindly Note: This form is issued only to the addressee(s) and is specific to the unique designated account printed hereon. This personalised form is not transferable between different: (i) account holders; or (ii) uniquely designated accounts. The Company and Computershare Investor Services PLC accept no liability for any instruction that does not comply with these conditions.

4. To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, CREST messages must be received by the issuer's agent (ID number 3RA50) not later than 10.30 am on 24 November 2020. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
