ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS

In relation to the AGM:

ALL SHAREHOLDERS ARE RECOMMENDED TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THEIR FORMS OF PROXY TO INDICATE HOW THEY WISH TO VOTE IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSALS. COMPLETION AND RETURN OF THE FORMS OF PROXY WILL NOT AFFECT A SHAREHOLDER’S RIGHT TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE AGM.

A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote and speak at the AGM instead of that Shareholder, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different Share or Shares held by the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
