Notes re your Form of Proxy and voting at the General Meeting
A member of a company is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend and to speak and vote at a meeting of the company. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to a meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by him.
If it is desired to appoint some other person or persons as proxy or proxies the name(s) of the proxy or proxies desired must be inserted in the space provided and the alteration should be initialled. Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
Please indicate with an 'X' in the appropriate box how you wish your vote to be cast in respect of the resolution. If you do not insert an 'X' in the appropriate box your proxy will vote or abstain at his discretion.
The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or of the appointor is a corporation under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised.
All joint holders should be named but the signature of any one is sufficient. In all cases, names must be entered as they appear on the Company's register.
Where there are joint registered holders of any share such persons shall not have the right of voting individually in respect of such share but shall elect one of their number to represent them and to vote whether in person or by proxy in their name. In default of such election the person whose name stands first on the Register shall alone by entitled to vote.
Any corporation which is a Shareholder may by resolution of its Directors or other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholders of the Company or to approve any resolution submitted in writing and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of the corporation which he represents the same powers (other than to appoint a proxy) as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder of the Company.
The instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power or authority shall be deposited at the Company's registered office (Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited, PO Box 255, Trafalgar Court, Les Banques, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3QL) not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote and in default unless the Board directs otherwise the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid.
The form of proxy may be sent by post or transmitted to the registered office of the Company. 'By post' means by registered post, recorded delivery service or ordinary letter post and 'transmitted' means transmitted by electronic communication or facsimile transmission. Should the original form of proxy not be received by post the electronic version shall still be treated as valid (provided it is returned before the proxy cut off as detailed above).
Only shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company at 10.00am on Saturday 19 May 2012 shall be entitled to attend or vote at the aforesaid meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at the time, or in the event that the meeting is adjourned in accordance with the provisions contained in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, in the register of members at close of business two days before the time of any adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the register of members after such time or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, to entries in the register of members after close of business before the time of the adjourned meeting, shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
To change your proxy instructions, simply submit a new proxy appointment using the method set out above. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. Please note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments also applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.
To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy the form of proxy. 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. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
