2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2024.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for questions about or comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a "Spill Resolution") that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

2.3

Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

2.4

Proxy restrictions

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution (Remuneration Report) by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for this Resolution.

If you appoint a member of the key management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (who is not the Chair) or a closely related party of that member as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on this Resolution, by signing and returning the Proxy Form you are giving express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention.

Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the year ended 31 December 2024. Their closely related parties

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 8

are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR COLIN McCAVANA

Rule 7.3 of the Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, one-third of directors for the time being (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office. Additionally, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director must retire from office no later than the longer of the third annual general meeting of the Company or 3 years following that Director's last election or appointment. The retirement rules do not apply to the managing director.

Mr Colin McCavana was last re-elected as a Director at the annual general meeting held on 31 May 2022. Mr Colin McCavana retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Mr Colin McCavana is a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Company and has been a Director since 24 February 2010. Details of the qualifications and experience of Mr Colin McCavana is set out in the Company's Annual Report.

The Board of the Company recommends the re-election of Mr Colin McCavana as a Director.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

4.1 Background

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval to issue up to a total of 6,000,000 Performance Rights to Directors, Dr Michael Ruane, Mr Colin McCavana and Mr Rod Della Vedova ( Related Parties ), or their respective nominees, as follows:

Related Party Class A Performance Rights Class B Performance Rights
Michael Ruane 1,000,000 3,000,000
Colin McCavana 1,000,000 Nil
Rod Della Vedova 1,000,000 Nil
Total 3,000,000 3,000,000

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of Directors (both Executive and Non-Executive) in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

The Performance Rights are to be issued under the terms of the Employee Incentive Plan ( Plan ), which are summarised in the Company's notice of annual general meeting, announced on ASX on 17 April 2023 and in Schedule 2 of this Notice.

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 9

Subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 1, the Class A Performance Rights will vest on 1 July 2025, subject to each Director having remained appointed as a Director until 30 June 2025. For the purposes of Section 11 of ASX Guidance Note 19: Performance Securities , the Directors consider that the proposed issues of Class A Performance Rights under the Resolutions which form Resolution 3 are being issued in circumstances where each Director is not otherwise being reasonably remunerated for their services as a Director and therefore the Performance Rights are effectively being issued in lieu of Director’s fees. The Class B Performance Rights, which are only proposed to be issued to Executive Director, Michael Ruane, are being issued in lieu of executive remuneration and will vest upon Dr Ruane remaining employed with the Company until 30 June 2026.

Resolutions 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 and sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to a total of 6,000,000 Performance Rights under the Plan to the Related Parties, or their respective nominees.

Resolutions 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company must not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a ‘material personal interest’ are being considered. The Directors do not have a material personal interest in these Resolutions, other than the Resolution to issue Performance rights to himself. However, in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other’s remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest, the Directors have not considered whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions, and as it is proposed that Performance Rights be issued to all Directors, they are unable to form a quorum at Board level to make a determination on whether an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these Resolutions.

Therefore, the Board has determined in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to seek approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Performance Rights proposed to be issued to the Related Parties pursuant to each of the resolutions which form part of Resolution 3.

4.2 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme to:

  • (a) a director of the entity (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

Michael Ruane 105,604,355 11,250,0001,2
Colin McCavana 1,054,997 1,000,000,3
Rod Della Vedova 92,500 1,000,0003

Notes:

  • 1 Listed options exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 31 March 2025;

  • 2 Unlisted options exercisable at $0.12 each on or before 5 November 2026;

  • 3 Unlisted options exercisable at $0.20 each on or before 14 September 2025.

Assuming that each of the Resolutions which form Resolution 3 are approved by Shareholders, all of the Performance Rights are issued, vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, each Related Party’s interest in the Company would represent approximately:

  • (a) Michael Ruane: 40.26% of the Company's expanded capital;

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 14

  • (b) Colin McCavana: 0.75% of the Company's expanded capital; and

  • (c) Rod Della Vedova: 0.40% of the Company's expanded capital.

Trading history

The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:

Highest: $0.09 per Share on 13 November 2024 Lowest: $0.02 per Share on 17 June 2024

The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.05 per Share on 14 March 2025.

Dilution

The issue of the Performance Rights will have a diluting effect of 2.2% on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if the Performance Rights are exercised, assuming the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice (being 266,219,570 Shares on 14 March 2025) and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on exercise of the Performance Rights.

The exercise of all of the Performance Rights will result in a total dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings of 2.2% on a fully diluted basis (assuming that all Performance Rights currently on issue are exercised and no further Shares are issued).

The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company (including any Shares issued which are the subject of the other Resolutions included in this Notice).

Corporate governance

Dr Ruane is an executive director of the Company and therefore the Board believes that the grant of the Performance Rights is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The Board acknowledges the grant of the Performance Rights to Messrs McCavana and Della Vedova is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board notes that the terms of the Performance Rights are comparable to the terms of Performance Rights previously granted to non-related parties and that the grant of Performance Rights to Messrs McCavana and Della Vedova is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in section 4.1.

Taxation consequences

There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Performance Rights (including fringe benefits tax).

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Director recommendations

Given the material personal interest of each other Director in the Resolutions expressly relevant to him, and in the interests of good corporate practice consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 76 (Table 2) for directors to avoid making a recommendation on resolutions about each other’s remuneration (as there may be a conflict of interest), the Directors do not consider it appropriate to give a recommendation on any of the Resolutions which form Resolution 3.

Notwithstanding, the Directors consider the grant of Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as:

  • (a) the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties;

  • (b) the grant of Performance Rights will align the interests of Directors with those of Shareholders; and

  • (c) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Performance Rights upon the terms proposed.

Other information

The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 3(a) to 3(c) (inclusive).

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY

5.1 Background

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

An " eligible entity " means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 16

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

(i) Period for which approval is valid

An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained.

  • (b) The time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting.

  • (c) The time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

(ii) Minimum price at which equity securities may be issued

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity's equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (b) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.

(iii) Purposes for which funds raised may be used

Equity securities can only be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A for a cash consideration. Funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used for the continued development of the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and for general working capital.

(iv) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 17

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. This includes one example that assumes that "A" is double the number of Shares on issue at the time of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and that the price of Shares has fallen by 50%.

532,439,140 (100% increase)* 53,243,914 $1,331,098 $2,662,196 $5,324,392

*The number of Shares on issue (variable "A" in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 6 March 2025.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 6 March 2025.

  3. The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the additional 10% capacity.

  4. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.

(v)

Allocation Policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the additional 10% capacity will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 18

  • (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the additional 10% capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company and may include new investors who have not previously been Shareholders.

  • (vi) Previous approvals and issues under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the previous 12 months

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 May 2024.

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 8,371,777 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2. This represents 3.67% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Details of each issue of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below:

( Date of Issue ): 5 November 2024

( Number and type of Securities ): 8,371,777 Shares

( Recipient of Security / Basis on which recipients were identified or selected ): Sophisticated and professional investors under the placement announced to ASX on 24 October 2024.

( Issue Price and details of any discount to Market Price (if applicable) on date of issue / agreement ): Issue price of $0.06 per Share. There was no discount to market price in connection with the placement.

( Cash consideration received / to be received and Use of Funds ): A total of $2,301,985.92 (before costs) was raised under the Placement, with funds to be used towards:

  • (a) completion of a new Engineering Scoping Study for a SOP Potash project in W.A. using the Company’s processing technologies and the Beyondie Sale Assets;

  • (b) continuing engagement with solar salt, fertilizer and seawater desalination companies worldwide to discuss the application of the Company’s technology and proposed SOP developments for possible joint venture participation and investment;

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 19

  • (c) general working capital; and

(d) the costs of the placement, being $56,000.

Approximately $300,000 of the funds raised from the Placement have been used towards scoping study preparation, patent costs, care and maintenance of the Beyondie Plant assets, engagement with solar, salt, fertilizer and seawater desalination entities, the costs of the placement and general administrative costs..

The remaining funds will be utilised over the coming 12 months to fund continued Scoping Study preparation and completion, patent cost, care and maintenance of Beyondie Plant assets, exploration and provide working capital.

Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. No existing shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION

6.1 Background

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders in accordance with section 136(2) of the Corporations Act to amend the Company's existing Constitution ( Amended Constitution ), which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares.

The Amended Constitution incorporates amendments to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules since its existing Constitution was adopted in July 2020.

The proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature, including by expressly providing for statutory rights by mirroring these rights in provisions of the Amended Constitution. The Company considers that these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. A summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the Amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 20

6.2 Summary of changes

  • (a) Issue cap for certain offers under an employee incentive scheme (clause 2.7) The Treasury Laws Amendments (Cost of Living Support and Other Measures) Act 2022 (Cth) introduced a new Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which came into effect on 1 October 2022.

As a result of the legislative changes, offers under an employee incentive plan that do not require monetary consideration (e.g., zero exercise price options or performance rights) can be issued without an issue cap. However, offers requiring monetary consideration (whether upon grant, exercise or vesting of the awards and issue of the underlying shares) must be accompanied by an ‘ESS offer document’ and must comply with an issue cap. The cap is set at 5% under the Corporations Act unless raised by a company’s constitution.

New clause 2.14 of the Amended Constitution provides the ability for the Company to increase the 5% issue cap for the purpose of section 1100V(2)(a) of the Corporations Act, which relates to offers for monetary consideration under the Plan, to 10%.

(b) Notice of general meetings and use of technology (clause 7.2)

Pursuant to the Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Act 202 2 (Cth), the Corporations Act was amended from 1 April 2022 to allow companies to:

  • (i) hold general meetings at one or more physical venues and using virtual meeting technology ( Hybrid Meeting ) and, if expressly required or permitted by the company's constitution, using virtual meeting technology only ( Wholly Virtual Meeting ); and

  • (ii) distribute and execute meeting and certain other documents electronically.

Amendments to clauses 6.4(c)(i) and 6.7 (together with new clause 1.4(e)) of the Amended Constitution provides that the Company may hold either Hybrid Meetings or Wholly Virtual Meetings of Shareholders, provided all Shareholders entitled to attend the meeting, have reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting without being physically present.

Under amended clause 6.7, a Shareholder participating in a Hybrid Meeting or Wholly Virtual Meeting is entitled to exercise all rights as if it was present at the main venue. Clause 6.7 also provides courses of action if technical difficulties occur during a meeting.

6.3 Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

SCHEDULE 2 – Terms of Employee Incentive Plan

  • (e) ( Vesting Conditions and Lapse ) An Option or Performance Right may only be exercised after it has vested and before its expiry date. The Board may determine the conditions upon the vesting of the Options or Performance Rights at its discretion. By way of example, the Board may impose Share price and/or continuous service vesting hurdles. An Option or Performance Right lapses upon various events including a vesting condition not being satisfied, a participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant (except for certain matters such as death or permanent disablement) and upon misconduct by a participant. The Board may issue Options under a cashless exercise facility where the holder of Options can elect to receive less Shares on exercise of the Options in lieu of paying the exercise price in cash.

  • (f) ( Shares issued on vesting ) Each Option or Performance Right entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share on exercise or vesting.

  • (g) ( Transferability and quotation ) An Option or Performance Right may not be transferred without the prior written approval of the Board or by force of law. Quotation of the Options or Performance Rights on the ASX will not be sought. However, the Company will apply for official quotation of Shares issued on the exercise of the Options or vesting of the Performance Rights.

  • (h) ( No voting or dividend rights ) The Options or Performance Rights are personal and do not confer any entitlement to attend or vote at meetings, any entitlement to dividends or any entitlement to participate in any return of capital unless the Options or Performance Rights are vested and the underlying Shares have been issued.

  • (i) ( No participation rights ) The Options or Performance Rights do not entitle the holder to participate in the issue of securities unless the Options or Performance Rights are exercised or vested and Shares have been issued before the record date for determining entitlements.

  • (j) ( Limitation on number of securities ) Securities to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan in any 3 year period must not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the

Reward Minerals Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 26

time of the relevant offer. Various excluded offers may be disregarded so as to not count for the 5% limit being an offer where there is no monetary consideration, any offer to a person outside Australia, an offer not requiring disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act or an offer made under a disclosure document.

  • (k) ( Administration of the Employee Incentive Plan ) The Employee Incentive Plan will be administered under the directions of the Board and the Board may determine procedures for the administration of the Employee Incentive Plan as it considers appropriate.

  • (l) ( Operation ) The operation of the Employee Incentive Plan is subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

  • (m) ( Application of Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) ) Subdivision 83A-C (deferred inclusion of gain in assessable income) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies to the Employee Incentive Plan and holders of securities issued under the Employee Incentive Plan may agree to a restriction period for the disposal or transfer of the securities including any underlying securities.

You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY

You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
