Notes

1. Every Shareholder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a Shareholder, as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights, to attend, speak and vote on his 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 (see overleaf). If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter the number of Ordinary Shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy in the box overleaf. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a Shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
2. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy this Form of Proxy. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number of Ordinary Shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of Ordinary Shares held by you). Please also indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All Forms of Proxy must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
3. The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to persons whose Ordinary Shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communication from the Company in accordance with Section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 ("nominated persons"). Nominated persons may have a right under an agreement with the registered Shareholder who holds Ordinary Shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if nominated persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the Ordinary Shares as to the exercise of voting rights.
4. The 'Vote Withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on the 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' the resolution.
5. In the case of a Shareholder which is a company, this Form of Proxy must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the Company or an attorney for the Company.
6. 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.
7. On receipt of this Form of Proxy duly signed, without any specific direction as to how you wish your votes to be cast, or with 'discretionary' selected you will be deemed to have authorised your proxy to vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.
8. Pursuant to regulation 41 of the Uncertificated 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 6.30 pm on the day which is two business days before the day of the meeting or adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

You will have to disclose the voting ID, task ID and shareholder reference number shown on this form.
