Notes
- To appoint a person other than the Chairman of the meeting as a proxy, insert the full name of the person in the space provided. A proxy need not be a member of the Company, but must attend the AGM in person to represent you. You can appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. The following options are available:
a. To appoint the Chairman as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, simply fill in any voting instructions in the appropriate box and sign and date the Form of Proxy.
b. To appoint a person other than the Chairman as your sole proxy in respect of all your shares, delete the words "the Chairman of the meeting or" and insert the name of your proxy in the space provided. Then fill in any voting instructions in the appropriate box and sign and date the Form of Proxy.
c. To appoint more than one proxy, you may photocopy this form. Please indicate the proxy's name and the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares held by you). Please indicate by marking 'X' in the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. If you wish to appoint the Chairman as one of your multiple proxies, simply write "the Chairman of the meeting" in the box. All forms must be signed and returned together in the same envelope.
-
Details of the resolutions are contained in the notice of annual general meeting and the explanatory notes (the '2019 AGM Notice'). The 2019 AGM Notice is also available on www.corporate.saga.co.uk together with the 2019 Annual Report and Accounts, or copies can be requested from Link Asset Services. You are advised to read the 2019 AGM Notice before completing this Form of Proxy.
-
Unless otherwise indicated the proxy will vote as they think or, at their discretion, abstain from voting. The proxy will also have discretion to vote as they see fit on any other business which may properly come before the AGM including amendments to resolutions, and at any adjournment of the AGM.
-
To be valid, the Form of Proxy overleaf and any authority under which it was executed (or a naturally certified copy of such authority) must be deposited with the Company's Registrars, Link Asset Services, not later than 11.00am on 17 June 2019 (or if the annual general meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned annual general meeting, excluding any UK non-working days) accompanied by any power of attorney under which it was executed (if applicable). You may also deliver it by hand to The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU during usual business hours or electronically using the Saga Shareholder Services Portal at www.sagashareholder.co.uk.
-
In the case of joint shareholders the signature of any of them will suffice, but the names of all joint holders should be shown, 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 holder(s) and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding.
-
A corporation must execute the Form of Proxy under either its common seal or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney. A corporation may appoint more than one corporate representative.
-
If you choose to vote 'For' all resolutions by ticking the box overleaf and subsequently tick 'Against' or 'Withheld' for individual resolutions, then these selections will be honoured.
-
The Form of Proxy is for use in respect of the shareholder account specified overleaf only and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account.
-
The 'Vote Withheld' option is to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. Such a vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
-
Shares held in uncertified form (i.e. in CREST) may be voted through the CREST Proxy Voting Service in accordance with the procedures set out in the CREST Manual and in the 2019 AGM Notice. Shareholders wishing to vote online should visit www.sagashareholder.co.uk and follow the instructions.
-
Completion and return of the Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM should you subsequently decide to do so.
-
Resolution 3 is to approve the payment of a final dividend. You can enter into a dividend mandate in order to receive payment of dividends direct into your bank account. This is easy to do – simply visit www.sagashareholder.co.uk for details.
