Notes for completion of the proxy form

1. You are entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies, who need not be a member of the Company or the chairman, to exercise all or any of your rights to electronically attend, ask questions and vote at a general meeting of the Company. 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 no name is inserted in the space provided, the chairman of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy. You must follow the appointment procedures set out in these notes.
2. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to electronically exercise rights attached to a different share or shares. Please indicate by ticking the box provided if the instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. 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 electronically act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full electronic voting entitlement. If you appoint more than one proxy, additional proxy forms may be obtained from Equiniti Limited, on [phone]. Lines are open 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday or you may photocopy this form. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
3. For each resolution, please indicate with an "X" in the box provided how you wish your votes to be cast on each resolution. In the absence of instructions, or if you complete the box in the column marked "Discretionary", the proxy may vote or abstain from voting as he thinks fit. Unless instructed otherwise, the proxy may also vote or abstain from voting as he thinks fit on any other business which may properly come before the Meeting. The 'Vote Withheld' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. It should, however, be noted that it is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
4. Completion and return of this proxy form will not preclude you from electronically attending the meeting and voting electronically. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting electronically, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
