online in advance of the meeting, attending the
meeting in person or via the Online Meeting

appointing a proxy to attend virtually and vote
in your place. A voting/proxy form is enclosed

give your proxy discretion to vote as they
see fit. If you wish to give your proxy
that discretion, you should mark the

abstain from voting as they see fit.

director, is willing to act as proxy. If
you appoint the Chair of the meeting
as proxy but do not direct the Chair
how to vote on a particular resolution
then the Chair of the meeting will vote
your shares in favour of each of the
resolutions 1-4.
• If you have not named a proxy, or your
named proxy does not attend the
meeting, and you have directed how you
wish to vote, the Chair will be your proxy.
