  3. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy or proxies to abstain 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.

  4. If this form of proxy is signed by someone else on your behalf, their authority to sign must be returned with this form of proxy. Where the appointer is a corporation this form of proxy must be executed by the corporation under its common seal, or executed under the hand of an agent or officer, duly authorised in writing.

  5. In the absence of any instruction, the proxy will vote or abstain on the resolutions at his or her discretion as to whether, and if so how, he or she votes. On any other business arising at the meeting (including any motion to amend a resolution or adjourn the meeting) the proxy will act at his or her discretion.

  6. 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 6.00pm on 10 May 2016 (or, in the event of adjournment, on the day which is two working days before the day of the adjourned meeting). 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.

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.
