You will have the right to attend, speak and vote at the AGM if your name appears on the register of members of the Company as at 6.30pm on 13 June 2018.

3. Vote withheld

The 'Vote Withheld' option is provided in the Notice of your 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.

4. 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 the 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.

5. 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.
