  5. The signatories must initial any alteration to this proxy form, other than the deletion of alternatives.

  7. Where there are joint holders of ordinary shares:
    • any one holder may sign the proxy form and
    • the vote of the senior ordinary shareholder
      (for that purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names of the ordinary shareholders who tender a vote (whether through the electronic voting platform provided or by proxy) appear in the company's register) will be accepted as to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint shareholders.
  8. All beneficial shareholders of ordinary shares who have dematerialised their shares through a Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker, other than those shareholders who have elected to dematerialise their shares in "own- name" registrations, must provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions. We recommend that you contact your CSDP or broker to ascertain their deadline for submission.
    If you have dematerialised your shares and wish to participate in the AGM, you may do so by requesting your CSDP or broker to issue you with

a letter of representation in terms of the custody agreement entered into with your CSDP or broker.

Letters of representation must be lodged with the company's transfer secretaries. We recommend that you contact your CSDP or broker to ascertain their deadline for submission.

In order to facilitate the administration of the voting process, shareholders who hold certificated shares and shareholders who have dematerialised their shares in "own-name" registrations, should lodge their completed proxy forms with the company's transfer secretaries so as to be received by no later than 10h00 (CAT) on Thursday, 6 June 2024.
