Results and Annual General Meeting

1. When do you announce your quarterly and full-year results?

2. When is the next Annual General Meeting?

3. If I cannot go to a general meeting, can I vote?

Option A:
If you cannot go to the meeting yourself, you can appoint someone else to go in your place as your 'proxy'. To do this, you must complete the proxy card that is sent to you with your notice of meeting contained in the Annual Review and send it back to Equiniti in advance of the meeting. You should note, however, that a proxy cannot vote on a show of hands, but, if a poll is taken on a resolution, your proxy can cast your vote for you. Also, a proxy is not usually able to speak on your behalf except to demand a poll.

Option B:
If you cannot appoint a proxy to attend the meeting in person, you can still send the proxy form back to us and in the event of a poll on any resolution, the Chairman will cast your vote for you in line with the instructions you give on the form.

Option C:
Voting on resolutions can also be done electronically. If you already have a Equiniti Shareview portfolio, just log on to your portfolio and select 'Company Meetings' from the left-hand menu. Details of current meetings where you can send an instruction online will then be displayed and you can click on the highlighted text to confirm your instruction

If you do not have a Shareview portfolio and you wish to vote electronically, you can submit your votes through www.Sharevote.co.uk using the reference numbers on your proxy card.
