the case of a corporate shareholder, a representative to
attend and vote instead of you. This Proxy Form may be
completed online, mailed, delivered, faxed or scanned and
emailed in accordance with the instructions above.
A proxy can be any person of your choice and does not
have to be a shareholder of Southern Charter Financial
Group Limited. If you wish, you can appoint the Chairman
of the Meeting as your proxy. The Chairman will vote in
accordance with your instructions. If you return this form
without appointing a proxy, but have indicated on this form

in accordance with your express instructions.
VOTING OF YOUR HOLDING
Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate
election in respect of each item of resolutions. If you elect
“proxy discretion” on any resolution, you are directing your
proxy or representative to decide how to vote on that
resolution on your behalf. If you elect “abstain” box on any
resolution, you are directing your proxy or representative not
to vote on that resolution. If you make more than one
election in respect of a resolution your vote will be invalid on
that resolution. If you return this form without directing the
proxy how to vote on any particular matter, the proxy may
vote as he/she thinks fit or abstain from voting.
PROXY DISCRETION
If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting or any other
Director as your proxy and also elect “proxy discretion”, you
acknowledge that they may exercise your vote even if they
have an interest in the outcome of that resolution. The
Chairman of the Meeting and the Directors intend to vote all
discretionary proxies in favour of all resolutions.
