Explanatory notes relating to the completion of the Form of Proxy

    1. Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM. A member so entitled may appoint one or more proxies, who need not be a member to attend, speak and vote on his/her behalf.
    1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the meeting as your proxy, please insert his/her name and delete 'the Chair of the AGM or'.
    1. You may appoint more than one proxy in relation to your shareholding provided that each proxy is appointed to execute rights attached to a different share or shares. You must complete a separate Form of Proxy for each proxy appointed. You may copy this form or (an) additional Form(s) of Proxy may be obtained by contacting the Company's Registrar, Equiniti, on +44 (0) 371 384 2272 (Lines open 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding UK public holidays). Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which he/she is authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the additional box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned to Equiniti together in the reply paid envelope provided.
    1. Please indicate with an 'X' in the boxes provided how you wish your vote to be cast. Unless otherwise instructed, the person appointed as proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to how he/ she votes or whether he/she withholds a vote on any particular resolution and on any other business (including amendments to resolutions and any procedural business), which may come before the AGM.
    1. The 'Withheld' option on the Form of Proxy is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution.
    1. A corporation must seal the Form of Proxy or have it signed by an officer, an attorney or another person authorised to sign it.
    1. In the case of joint holders, only one need sign the Form of Proxy. If more than one Form of Proxy is received in respect of a joint holding, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holder(s). For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members in respect of the joint holding.
    1. To be valid the Form of Proxy must reach the Company Registrar, Equiniti, by no later than 11.00 am on Friday 8 July 2022 or, if the AGM is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjourned AGM. The appointment of a proxy does not prevent a member from attending the AGM and voting in person.
    1. You may appoint your proxy online. To use this facility you must visit www.sharevote.co.uk where details of the procedure are shown. The Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown overleaf will be required to complete the procedure. The appointment of a proxy online will not be valid if received after 11.00 am on Friday 8 July 2022 or, if the AGM is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjourned AGM.
    1. The CREST electronic proxy appointment service is available for this AGM. To use this service CREST members should transmit a CREST proxy instruction, using the procedures described in the CREST Manual, so as to reach the Company's Registrar, Equiniti (CREST participant [ID RA19]), by no later than 11.00 am on Friday 8 July 2022 or, if the AGM is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding non-working days) before the time of the adjourned AGM. Institutional Investors may be able to use Proxymity to lodge their vote. For further details please see the Notice of Meeting.
    1. Certain items will not be permitted in the AGM.
