Notes

 

1. As a member of the Company, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof and you should have received a proxy form with this notice of meeting. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the form of proxy.

2. A form of proxy is attached which, if required, should be completed in accordance with these instructions and the instructions thereon.

3. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. Details of how to appoint the Chairman of the meeting or another person as your proxy using the form of proxy are set out in the notes to the form of proxy. If you wish your proxy to speak on your behalf at the meeting you will need to appoint your own choice of proxy (not the Chairman) and give your instructions directly to them.

 

If you do not intend to attend the meeting please complete and return the form of proxy as soon as possible.

 

4. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares or a different class of shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To appoint more than one proxy you may photocopy the form of proxy. Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number and class of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the number of shares of the relevant class held by you). Please indicate if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms of proxy must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.

5. The notes to the form of proxy explain how to direct your proxy to vote on each resolution or abstain from voting.

To appoint a proxy using the form of proxy, the form of proxy must be:

· completed and signed;

· sent or delivered to the Company's Registrars, FREEPOST CAPITA PXS received by the Company's registrars no later than 10.00 am on 10th June 2015.

 

In the case of a member which is an individual the form of proxy must be signed under the hand of the appointer or the appointer's attorney duly authorised in writing or in the case of a member which is a company, the form or proxy must be executed either under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney so authorised.

Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the form of proxy is signed or any instrument appointing a proxy (or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the form of proxy.

6. To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new form of proxy using the methods set out above and in the notes to the form of proxy. Note that the cut-off date and time for receipt of a form of proxy (see above) also apply in relation to amended instructions; any amended form of proxy received after the relevant cut-off date and time will be disregarded.

Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy form of proxy and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy form of proxy, please contact Capita Asset Services on 0871 664 0300 (calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras) or if calling from overseas +44 (0) 203 728 5000. Lines are open from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., Monday to Friday.

If you submit more than one valid form of proxy, the form received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. 

7. In order to revoke a proxy instruction you will need to inform the Company by sending a signed hard copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to FREEPOST CAPITA PXS. In the case of a member which is an individual the revocation notice must be under the hand of the appointer or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or in the case of a member which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed either under its common seal or under the hand of an officer of the company or an attorney duly authorised. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.

The revocation notice must be received by the Capita Asset Services no later than 10.00 am on 10th June 2015. If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified then, subject to the paragraph directly below, your proxy appointment will remain valid.

Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

8. Except as provided above, members who have general queries about the meeting should contact Capita Asset Services on 0871 664 0300 (calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras) or if calling from overseas +44 (0) 203 728 5000. Lines are open from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

9. To appoint a proxy or to give or amend an instruction to a previously appointed proxy via the CREST system, the CREST message must be received by the Company's agent RA10 by 10:00 am on 10th June 2015. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message. After this time any change of instructions to a proxy appointed through CREST should be communicated to the proxy by other means. CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST Members who have appointed voting service provider(s) should contact their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) for assistance with appointing proxies via CREST. For further information on CREST procedures, limitations and system timings please refer to the CREST Manual. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the United Kingdom Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. In any case your form of proxy must be received by the Company's registrars no later than 10.00 am on 10th June 2015.

10. Entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be

determined by reference to the Register of Members of the Company at 6.00 p.m. on 10th June 2015.

Changes to entries on the Register of Members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights

Please indicate the proxy holder's name and the number and class of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy (which, in aggregate, should not exceed the total number of shares of the relevant class held by you). Please also indicate if the form of proxy is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.

15. The 'Abstain' option is provided to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that an 'Abstain' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.
