Explanatory Notes:

If returned without an indication as to how the proxy shall vote on any particular matter, the proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to whether, and if so how, he/she votes (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to whether, and if so how, he/she votes). Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he/she thinks fi t in relation to any other matter which is put before the Meeting.

  • 4. The 'Vote Withheld' option overleaf 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' and 'Against' a resolution.
  • 5. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertifi cated Securities Regulations 2001, entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at 7.00pm (GMT) on the date two business days before the Meeting being Monday, 27 January 2020.
