corporate shareholder, a representative to attend and vote

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 how you wish to vote, the
Chairman of the meeting will vote 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
