2. If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter 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.
3. To appoint more than one proxy, you may photocopy this form. Please indicate 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, and tick the box to indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms should be signed and returned together in the same envelope.
4. To be valid, your signed and dated proxy form(s) must be completed and deposited together with any power of attorney or authority under which it is completed or a certified copy of such power or authority at the offices of the Company's Registrars, Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA as soon as possible and no later than 2.30pm on 8 November 2023. In the case of a corporation, the proxy form(s) should be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company.
5. You may register your vote online by visiting Equiniti's website at www.sharevote.co.uk. If you wish, you may register the appointment of a proxy for this meeting electronically, by visiting the website www.sharevote.co.uk and following the on-screen instructions. You will need your Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown on this form of proxy. Alternatively, if you have already registered with Equiniti Limited's online portfolio service, Shareview, you can submit your Form of Proxy at www.shareview.co.uk. Full instructions are given on both websites. To be valid, your proxy appointment and instructions must be received no later than 2.30pm on 8 November 2023.
6. The "Withheld" box is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution but will be counted to establish if a quorum is present.
7. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, only those members registered in the register of members of the Company at 6.30pm on 8 November 2023 shall be entitled to vote at the meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the entries on the register of members after 6.30pm on 8 November 2023 shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to vote at the meeting.
8. In the case of joint registered holders, the signature of one holder on a proxy form will be accepted and the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names appear on the register of members of the Company in respect of the relevant joint holding.
9. To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, CREST messages must be received by the issuer's agent (ID number RA19) not later than 2.30pm on 8 November 2023, that is 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
10. If you are an institutional investor you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 2.30pm on 8 November 2023 in order to be considered valid.
