ADMISSION CARD
Tesco PLC General Meeting 30 September 2015 Please bring this card with you to the meeting.
NOTES FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE PROXY FORM
-
The Proxy Form is for the use of Tesco PLC ordinary shareholders only.
-
- If you will not, or may not, be attending the General Meeting, you can appoint another person (a "proxy") to exercise all or any of your rights to attend and to speak and vote at the meeting on your behalf. Completing this Proxy Form however does not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting in person.
-
- If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman as your proxy, please insert the full name of the proxy (in block capitals) in the space provided and delete the words "the Chairman of the meeting or". If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, you do not need to change this part of the Proxy Form. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box provided the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this Proxy Form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a member, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
-
- You may instruct your proxy on how to vote by marking the appropriate box next to the resolution. Details of the resolution are set out in the Notice of General Meeting. If you have not given specific instructions on how your proxy should vote on the resolution, your proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit. Your proxy will also have discretion to vote as he or she thinks fit on any other business which may properly come before the meeting, including on any motion to amend the resolution or to adjourn the meeting, or any other resolution proposed at the meeting and at any such adjournment of the meeting.
-
- The "vote withheld" option is provided to enable you to abstain on the 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" and "Against" the resolution.
-
- You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you. Please indicate in the boxes provided 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, each proxy must be appointed on a separate Proxy Form. Additional Proxy Forms may be obtained from Equiniti Limited at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA. Alternatively you may photocopy the Proxy Form the required number of times before completing it.
-
- All 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 proxy appointment received will be accepted in substitution for any previous appointments.
-
- If the member 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.
-
- 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 his proxy will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other joint holders or their proxies.
-
- To be valid, all Proxy Forms, together with any power of attorney under which they are signed or a duly certified copy thereof, should reach the office of the Company's Registrar, Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA, by 2.00 p.m. on 28 September 2015.
