Guidance notes

1. Voting ahead of the AGM

Your votes are important to us and we would strongly encourage you to submit your voting instructions as early as possible.

You can submit your voting instructions electronically at www.sharevote.co.uk, where you will need your Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number.

You are entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies, who need not be a shareholder, or the Chair of the Meeting, to exercise any or all of your rights to attend, speak and vote. Please note the deadline for submitting proxies will be 2.00pm on Wednesday, 15 June 2022.

2. Eligibility to vote

Shareholders on the register at 6.30pm on Wednesday, 15 June 2022 have the right to attend, speak and vote on the resolutions. Changes to the register of members after this time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend, speak and vote at the AGM.

3. Resolutions

Details of the resolutions and the biographies setting out the skills and experience of each of the Directors standing for re-election are set out in the Notice.

4. Vote Withheld

The 'Vote Withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, 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 the votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution.

5. Appointing multiple proxies

You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares held by you. Please indicate if the proxy appointment is one of multiple appointments and the number of shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed. If you wish to appoint more than one proxy by post, each proxy must be appointed on a separate proxy form. Additional paper proxy forms may be obtained from Equiniti. Alternatively, you may photocopy this proxy form the required number of times before completing it.

All paper proxy forms must be signed and returned together in the same envelope and any amendments must be initialled. If you appoint more than one proxy in respect of the same shares, the latest paper proxy form received will be accepted in substitution for any previous appointments.

6. Proxy discretion

If you have not given specific instructions on how your proxy should vote in respect of any resolution, your proxy will have discretion to vote on that resolution, in respect of your total holding, as they see fit. Your proxy can vote, or abstain from voting, as they decide on any other business which may validly come before the meeting.

7. Corporate shareholders

If a shareholder is a corporation, the proxy should be given under the common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised in writing.

8. Joint shareholders

In the case of joint holders, any joint holder may sign this proxy form, but the vote of the person whose name appears first in the register of members in respect of the holding or their proxy will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other joint holders or their proxies.

9. Returning paper proxy forms

A pre-paid envelope is enclosed for UK postage only. From outside the UK, Isle of Man or Channel Islands, the appropriate postage must be paid. Please do not use this proxy form to communicate a change of address or any other notifications. Please contact Equiniti separately and they will be pleased to assist you.

10. Attending in person after submitting a proxy form

Submitting a proxy form in advance does not prevent you from attending and voting at the meeting in person.

11. Electronic communications

Please note that any electronic communication, including an electronic proxy form, found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted. The use of the internet service in connection with the AGM is governed by Equiniti's conditions of use set out on the website, www.sharevote.co.uk, and may be read by logging on to the sharevote site.
