QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why haven't I received a paper copy of the Annual Report or Annual Review?

We have previously consulted with shareholders on whether they wished in future to view shareholder communications, such as the Annual Report or Annual Review, via the Company's web site or be sent paper copies in the post. We have therefore only sent paper copies to shareholders who responded to our letter and specifically requested to receive paper copies of shareholder communications.

Can I still receive a paper copy of the Annual Report or Annual Review?

Yes. If you would like to receive free of charge a paper copy of the shareholder documents referred to overleaf for this year and/or future years, please contact our

Registrar at the address or on the telephone numbers below:
