  1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person or company of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act on their behalf at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If you wish to appoint a person or company other than the persons whose names are printed herein, please insert the name of your chosen proxyholder in the space provided (see reverse). If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box provided (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorized to act as your proxy.

  3. This proxy should be signed in the exact manner as the name(s) appear(s) on the proxy.
