Notes

    1. You are entitled to appoint a proxy of your own choice, who need not be a member of the Company, by inserting the name and address of such a proxy in the space provided. Should this space be left blank, the proxy will be exercised by the Chair of the meeting.
    1. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the 'Shares' box next to the proxy holder's name, the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If the 'Shares' box is left blank then 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).
    1. To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the registrar's helpline on +44 (0)371 384 2098. (Lines are open 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday – excluding public holidays – in England and Wales.) If calling from outside the UK, please ensure the country code is used. Alternatively, you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the 'Shares' 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 marking the 'Multiple Proxy' box with an 'X', if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All the forms must be signed and should be returned together in the envelope provided.
    1. The proxy will vote in accordance with your wishes provided this is clearly indicated on the proxy form. If you appoint a proxy, but do not indicate how they should cast your vote, they will exercise their discretion both as to voting or whether or not to abstain from voting on all resolutions or any other business at the meeting. An abstention is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against a resolution.
    1. A corporation's form of proxy must be executed under its common seal, or under the hand of its officer or attorney, duly authorised in writing.
    1. If you are signing this form on behalf of someone else, the power of attorney (or a notarial certified copy) authorising you to sign must be deposited with this form.
    1. In the case of joint holders, any one holder may sign the form.
    1. If you wish to submit your proxy appointment electronically, please visit www.shareview.co.uk, where full instructions on how to do so are given. If you return paper and electronic instructions, those received last by the registrar before the latest time for receipt of proxies will take precedence. You are advised to read the terms and conditions of use carefully. Electronic communication facilities are available to all shareholders and those who use them will not be disadvantaged.
    1. CREST members may appoint a proxy or proxies electronically via Equiniti (ID RA19). Messages transmitted through CREST must be lodged no later than Monday 13 October 2025 at 11.00am
    1. Institutional investors may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform. Please go to www.proxymity.io.
    1. Even if you complete and return a form of proxy, you may still attend in person.
