Notes

  1. If you wish to appoint a person(s) other than the Chairman of the Meeting to be your proxy, you should insert that person's name and number of shares over which the proxy is appointed in the boxes provided. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If no name is entered, the return of this form duly signed will authorise the Chairman of the Meeting to act as your proxy.
  2. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter into the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are being authorised to act as your proxy. If this box is left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be appointed 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).
  3. The appointment of a proxy does not preclude a member from attending and voting at the Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, should they wish to do so.
  4. In the case of a corporation, this form of proxy must be executed under its common seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney, stating their capacity.
  5. If you wish to appoint multiple proxies using this form, please photocopy each page indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of shares over which each proxy is appointed. Please indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. You can also appoint multiple proxies online. Further details on the appointment of multiple proxies are set out in note 2 of the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
  6. This form of proxy must be signed and dated by the holder or by his/her attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the holder is a corporation, either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney of that company.
  7. To be valid, the Company's Registrar (Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA) must receive this form not later than 11.00 am on Monday, 18 July 2016.

  10. CREST Members may appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual.
  11. In the case of joint holdings, the vote of the first named in the register of shareholders will be accepted to the exclusion of other joint holders.
  12. If no specific voting directions are given, the proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he/she thinks fit. Unless instructed otherwise, the proxy may also vote or abstain from voting as he/she thinks fit on any other business (including amendments to resolutions) which may properly come to the Meeting.
  13. Please note that the 'Vote Withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any 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.
