Notes<br />

1. Shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend <strong>and</strong> to speak <strong>and</strong> vote on their behalf at the meeting.<br />

A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the <strong>Annual</strong> General Meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the<br />

rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the company but must attend the meeting<br />

to represent you. A proxy form which may be used to make such appointment <strong>and</strong> give proxy instructions accompanies this notice.<br />

2. Details of how to appoint a proxy are set out in the notes to the enclosed proxy form. In order to be valid an appointment of proxy must be returned,<br />

with any power of attorney or any other authority under which it is executed, by one of the following methods: in hard copy form by post to Capita<br />

Registrars, PXS, the Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU; in hard copy form to that address by courier or by h<strong>and</strong> during usual<br />

business hours; by completing it online using the Share Portal service at www.capitashareportal.com by following the onscreen instructions to submit<br />

it (you will need to identify yourself with your personal Investor Code); or in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy<br />

appointment service as described in paragraphs 8 <strong>and</strong> 9 below. In each case, the form of proxy must be received by the company no later than 2.00pm<br />

on 5 June 2012. To change your proxy instructions you may return a new proxy appointment using the method set out above. The deadline for receipt<br />

of proxy appointments also applies in relation to amended instructions. Persons listed on the VP Securities register should follow the instructions on<br />

their Voting Request Form.<br />

3. The return of a completed proxy form, other such instrument or any CREST Proxy Instruction will not prevent a shareholder attending the <strong>Annual</strong><br />

General Meeting <strong>and</strong> voting in person if he/she wishes to do so.<br />

4. Any person to whom this notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Act to enjoy information rights (a “Nominated Person”)<br />

may, under an agreement between him/her <strong>and</strong> the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone<br />

else appointed) as a proxy for the <strong>Annual</strong> General Meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it,<br />

he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.<br />

5. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in paragraph 1 above does not apply to Nominated Persons.<br />

The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by shareholders of the company.<br />
