only result in cost savings to the Company but also reduce the impact<br />
that the unnecessary printing <strong>and</strong> distribution of reports has on the<br />
environment. Please note that if you consent to website publication,<br />
you will continue to be notified each time that the Company places<br />
a statutory communication on the website. This notification will<br />

1. Before consenting to receive documents <strong>and</strong> communications via<br />
the website, shareholders should ensure that they have a computer<br />
with internet access <strong>and</strong> the Adobe Acrobat reader facility. The<br />
Adobe Acrobat reader software may be obtained via the website<br />
free of charge.<br />
2. If you elect to receive notifications of the publication of the<br />

will be your responsibility to notify our registrars, Capita, of any<br />
subsequent change in your e-mail address or other contact details.<br />
3. If you are not resident in the United Kingdom, it is your<br />
responsibility to ensure that you may validly receive documents<br />
<strong>and</strong> communications electronically (either generally or in relation<br />
to any particular document or communication) without the<br />
Company being required to comply with any governmental or<br />
regulatory procedures or any similar formalities. The Company<br />
may deny electronic access to documents <strong>and</strong> communications<br />
relating to certain corporate actions in respect of those<br />
shareholders who it believes are resident in jurisdictions where it<br />
is advised that to provide such access would or may be a breach of<br />
any legal or regulatory requirements.<br />
4. The Company’s obligation to provide shareholder documents<br />
to you is satisfied when it transmits an electronic message. The<br />
Company is not responsible for any failure in transmission for<br />
reasons beyond its control any more than it is for postal failures.<br />
In the event of the Company becoming aware that an electronic<br />
communication to you has not been successfully transmitted,<br />
a further two attempts will be made. If the transmission is still<br />
unsuccessful, a hard copy of the relevant notification will be posted<br />
to your registered address.<br />

writing.<br />

computer viruses are present in any electronic communication<br />
it transmits, but the Company shall not be responsible for any<br />
loss or damage arising from the opening or use of any e-mail or<br />
attachments sent by the Company or on its behalf. The Company<br />
recommends that shareholders subject all messages to computer<br />
virus checking procedures. Any electronic communication received<br />
by or on behalf of the Company, including the lodgement of an<br />
electronic proxy form that is found to contain any computer virus<br />
will not be accepted.<br />
7. The Company reserves the right, irrespective of your election, to<br />
revert to sending hard copy documentation by post whenever it<br />
considers it necessary or desirable to do so.<br />
