21 May 2024 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions.

Voting deadline and meeting arrangements
Whichever method you choose, instructions or Form of Proxy must be received by the Company's registrar no later than 9.30am London time (4.30pm Hong Kong/Singapore time) on Tuesday 21 May 2024. Please note that any instruction sent in electronic form found to contain a computer virus will not

If you sign and return the Form of Proxy with no name inserted in the box, the Chair of the Meeting will be deemed to be your proxy.

-
You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed in respect of the rights attached to a different share or shares held by you.
You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share.

3. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

Appointment of a proxy does not preclude a member from attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person.
Completion of Form of Proxy
-
If you want your proxy to vote in a certain way on the resolutions specified please place a mark in the relevant boxes. If you select 'Discretionary' or fail to select any of the given options, you will be deemed to have authorised your proxy to vote
as they choose or they may decide not to vote at all. The proxy can also do this on any additional or amended resolution that is put to the Meeting. - The 'Vote withheld' option 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 and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
- If your 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 Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).

case of joint holders of a share, the vote |
of the senior who tenders a vote, whether |
