Explanatory Notes:

1. Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder as their proxy to exercise all or any of their rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chair of the meeting, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided overleaf.

If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box provided next to the proxy holder's name above, the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).

  1. To appoint more than one proxy, you may photocopy this form. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is entitled to exercise rights attached to different shares. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name above, the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
  2. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Annual General Meeting (and any adjournment thereof) by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means
    of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to an instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must be transmitted as to be received by the Company's agent, Equiniti RA19 no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting, i.e. by Monday 17th October 2022 at 11.00 a.m. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the

message by CREST Applications Host) from which Equiniti is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertified Securities Regulations 2001.

  1. Please indicate with an 'x' in the boxes provided, how you wish your vote to be cast in respect of each resolution. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy may vote as he or she sees fit or abstain in relation to any business
    of the meeting.
  2. The vote withheld option is provided

to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

  1. Pursuant to regulation 41 of the Uncertified Securities Regulations 2001, entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the registrar of holders of the Company at 6:30 p.m. on the day which is two days before the day of the meeting or adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the register of holders after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.
  2. The completion and return of this form will not preclude a holder from attending the meeting and voting in person.
  3. A proxy need not be a holder of the Company but must attend the meeting in person to represent a holder.
    9. In the case of joint holders, the signature of any one of the holders will be valid but the names of all joint holders should be stated. The vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose seniority is determined by the order in which the names appear in the register of members.
  1. Any alterations made to this form of proxy should be initialled by the person(s) signing it.
  2. To be valid, this form of proxy must be completed and sent, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority), to Equiniti so as to arrive not less than
  1. hours before the time for holding the meeting, i.e. by Monday 17th October 2022 at 11.00 a.m.
  1. An individual shareholder or his attorney must sign this form. If the shareholder is a company, this proxy form must be executed under the company's common seal or signed on the company's behalf by a duly authorised officer or attorney of the company, stating their capacity (e.g. director, secretary).
  2. Shareholders who would prefer to register the appointment of their proxy electronically via the internet can do so through the Sharevote website, www.sharevote.co.uk, using their personal Authentication Reference Number (this is the series of numbers printed under the headings Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number on the Form of Proxy).
