In the event of a poll, every shareholder shall be entitled to that proportion of the total votes in the company which the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the shares held by such shareholder bears to the aggregate amount of the nominal value of all the shares issued by the company.
 
Instructions on signing and lodging this form of proxy:

1. 

A certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder’s choice in the space/s provided overleaf, with or without deleting “the chairman of the general meeting”, but any such deletion must be initialled by the certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder. Should this space be left blank, the proxy will be exercised by the chairman of the general meeting. The person whose name appears first on this form of proxy and who is present at the general meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.

2. 

A certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder‘s voting instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of an “X”, or, the number of votes exercisable by that certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder in the appropriate spaces provided overleaf. Failure to do so will be deemed to authorise the proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the general meeting, as he/she thinks fit in respect of all the certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder’s exercisable votes. A certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by him/her or by his/her proxy, but the total number of votes cast, or those in respect of which abstention is recorded, may not exceed the total number of votes exercisable by the certificated or “own name” dematerialised shareholder or by his/her proxy.
