If you appoint a proxy you must either direct the proxy how to vote by ticking the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” box in respect of each resolution OR by

ticking the “Proxy Discretion” box in respect of each resolution. A shareholder can direct the proxy holder in respect of one or more resolutions and give

the proxy holder discretion in respect of other resolutions. If you tick the “Proxy Discretion” box for a particular resolution, or if you do not tick any box for

a particular resolution, then the proxy may vote as he/she thinks fit or abstain from voting.
