Rights of proxy

A properly appointed proxy may attend the meeting, speak and vote on a poll or on a show of hands. A proxy need not also be a shareholder. In the absence of instructions in respect of any resolution, your proxy can vote, or abstain from voting, as he/she chooses on any business which may properly come before the Meeting.

Partial voting

If the proxy is being appointed in relation to part of your holding only, enter the number of shares over which they are authorised to act as your proxy next to the proxy's name. If you do not specify the number of shares, they will be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement.
