NOTES:

 

1.

Important notice: We intend to hold the Annual General Meeting as a physical meeting. However, we will closely monitor the situation, in particular any potential restrictions on public gatherings, non-essential travel or any such other unprecedented event which will restrict the conduct of physical meeting. If such a situation arises, any resulting change will be communicated to the shareholders before the meeting through our website and public announcement.

 

2.

Please indicate with an ‘X’ in the appropriate box how you wish the proxy to vote.

 

3.

The proxy will exercise his discretion as to how he votes or whether he abstains from voting: -

 

  (a)

on the resolutions referred to in this Form of Proxy if no instruction is given in respect of the resolutions; and

 

  (b)

on any business or resolution considered at the Annual General Meeting other than the resolutions referred to in this Form of Proxy.

 

4.

To be valid, the instrument appointing a proxy, and any power of attorney or other authority (e.g. board minutes) under which it is signed (or a notarized copy of any such power or authority), must be deposited at our registered office at 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands (Attn: Mourant Governance Services (Jersey) Limited) not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof or for the taking of a poll at which the proxy proposes to vote.

 

5.

6.

In the case of joint holders, the name of all the joint holders should be stated in the Form of Proxy and all should sign it. Joint holders should elect one of their numbers to represent them in person or by proxy in their name. In the absence of such election, the vote of the holder whose name appears first in order in the Register of Shareholders, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other joint holder(s). For this purpose, seniority is determined by the order in which the names appear in the Register of Shareholders.

8.

A body corporate which is a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may authorize a person to act as its representative at the Annual General Meeting in respect of all or a particular number of the shares held by the Shareholder. A body corporate which is a Shareholder may appoint more than one person to act as its representative. If a body corporate which is a Shareholder appoints more than one person to act as its representative, each resolution (and each instrument of appointment) shall specify the number of shares held by the Shareholder for which the relevant person is appointed its representative. For the avoidance of doubt, a body corporate which is a Shareholder may appoint (in addition to the representatives (if any) appointed by it) any number of persons to act as its proxy at the Annual General Meeting in respect of all or a particular number of the shares held by the Shareholder. A person duly authorized to act as a representative of a body corporate which is a Shareholder shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of the Shareholder the same powers (in respect of the number of shares held by the Shareholder for which the relevant person is appointed its representative) as the Shareholder could exercise. If a Shareholder which is a body corporate appoints more than one representative (but subject to the voting instructions (if any) given by the Shareholder), no representative need cast all the votes used by him in respect of any resolution in the same way as any other representative or any proxy appointed by the Shareholder.

 

9.

The Company shall be entitled to reject the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies if it is incomplete, improperly completed, illegible or where the true intentions of the appointer are not ascertainable from the instructions of the appointer specified in the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies.

 

10.
