Notes

  1. To appoint as a proxy a person other than the Chairman of the meeting insert the full name in the space provided. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. You can also 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 spaces 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 holder'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 also indicate 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'. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.

  1. Unless otherwise indicated the proxy will vote as he thinks fit or, at his discretion, abstain from voting.

  2. The Form of Proxy can be hand delivered to Link Asset Services, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU during usual business hours accompanied by any Power of attorney under which it is executed (if applicable) no later than 48 hours before the time set for the meeting), or to the address as detailed in note 10 below.

  3. A corporation must execute the Form of Proxy under either its common seal or the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney.

  4. In the case of joint holders, the signature of any one holder will be sufficient, but the names of the joint holders should be stated. The vote of the senior joint holder (according to the order in which the names stand in the register in respect of the holding) who tenders a vote in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the vote of the other joint holder(s).

  5. The Form of Proxy is for use in respect of the shareholder account specified above only and should not be amended or submitted in respect of a different account.

  6. 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.

  7. Shares held in uncertificated 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. (Shareholders wishing to vote online should visit www.signalshares.com and follow the instructions.)

  8. Completion and return of the Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Meeting should you subsequently decide to do so.

  9. Please return your signed proxy form in a sealed envelope to FREEPOST LINK PXS (this is all you need to write on the envelope, no further address details are required)

  10. To further reduce the environmental impact, we will be removing paper from the voting process for future meetings in favour of a quicker and more secure method of voting online via our registrars' website. You can however request a paper proxy if you wish from our registrars at the appropriate time.
