A shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a
proxy or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, a representative
to attend and vote instead of him/her and that proxy or representative
need not also be a shareholder. The Chair of the meeting is willing
to act as proxy for any shareholder who wishes to appoint him

resolutions, unless the Chair is specifically excluded from voting
on a particular resolution.
VOTING OF YOUR HOLDING
Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate election, either
online or on this Proxy Form, in respect of each 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,
unless specifically excluded from voting on a particular resolution.
If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution your
vote will be invalid on that resolution. If you expressly appoint the
Chair of the meeting or any other Director as your proxy and elect to
give them discretion on how to vote on a resolution, you acknowledge
that they will exercise your vote in favour of resolutions 1 to 2.
