Form of Proxy

Notes for completion of Form of Proxy

1 Please indicate by placing ‘X’ either under the column ‘For’ or the column ‘Against’ or the column ‘Withheld’ how you wish your votes to be cast. On receipt of this form duly signed, but without any specific direction how you wish your vote to be cast, your proxy may vote or abstain, at their discretion. On any other business (including a motion to adjourn the Meeting or to amend a resolution) the proxy will vote at their discretion.

2 The ‘Withheld’ option is provided to enable you to abstain on the resolution. However, it should be noted that a ‘Withheld’ vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes ‘For’ or ‘Against’ the resolution.

3 In the case of joint share owners, the vote of the first named in the Register of the Company who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other owner(s).

4 In the case of a share owner which is a body corporate, this form must be executed either under its common seal, or under the hand of an officer or agent duly authorised in writing in that behalf.

5 To be valid this form must be completed, signed, detached and deposited at the office of Computershare, Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Meeting.

6 Every share owner has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a share owner, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder’s name 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 share owner, the full voting entitlement of that designated account.)

7 To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting Computershare Registrars on 0870 707 1411 or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder’s name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided 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.
