Notes:

.

• 1. To appoint as a proxy a person other than the Chairman of the meeting, cross out the words 'the Chairman of the meeting', initial the alteration and write the full name in the space provided. If you wish your proxy to make comments on your behalf you will need to appoint someone other than the Chairman and give them relevant instructions directly. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
• 1. As a member of the Company you may appoint one or more proxies of your choice to attend, vote and speak at the meeting and any adjournment thereof, provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights in respect of different shares and in accordance with the procedures set out in these notes. To appoint more than one proxy (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrars or you may photocopy this form indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed. All forms must be signed and should be returned to Equiniti, the Company's Registrars, at the address given in note 4 and in the same envelope.
• 1. Unless otherwise instructed the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, abstain from voting.
• 1. To be valid your form of proxy must arrive with the Company's Registrars no later than 11.00am on 3 September 2024 at Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA. You may also deliver by hand to the same address during usual business hours. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
• 1. A corporation must execute the form of proxy under either its common seal or by a duly authorised officer or attorney. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the form of proxy.
• 1. CREST users should note that they can lodge their proxy votes for the meeting through the CREST electronic appointment service, using CREST ID RA19. For further instructions users should refer to the CREST User Manual (available at www.euroclear.com). Any CREST sponsored members should contact their CREST sponsor.
• 1. If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11:00 am on 3 September 2024 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
• 1. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude a member from attending and voting in person at the AGM should he or she so wish.
• 1. A 'vote withheld' option is provided to enable a shareholder to withhold their vote on any particular resolution. 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 votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution.
• 1. The form of proxy is only for use in respect of the shareholder account specified and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
• 1. Corporate Representatives must make themselves known to the Company's Registrars prior to the meeting.
• 1. The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to persons whose shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communication from the Company in accordance with section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 ('Nominated Persons'). Nominated Persons may have a right under an agreement with the registered shareholder who holds shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if Nominated Persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights.
