If there are more than two candidates standing for election at the AGM, each resolution proposing that a candidate be appointed as a Director of the Company will provide for a method to determine which two candidates shall be elected as Directors as follows:
    "THAT subject to the number of votes cast in favour of this resolution being among the two highest number of votes cast in favour on each of the resolutions for the appointment of a person as a director of the Company at the annual general meeting to be held on 7 May 2020 or on the date of its adjournment (where applicable), [name of candidate] be and is hereby appointed as a director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the 2020 annual general meeting for a term of approximately three years expiring at the conclusion of the Company's annual general meeting to be held in 2023, provided that if any two or more resolutions record the same number of votes cast in favour of them (the "Tied Resolutions"), the ranking of the Tied Resolutions from highest to lowest number of votes cast in favour shall be determined by the drawing of lots by the chairman of the meeting."
  6. The full text of Resolutions 4 and 5 are set out in the Notice of the AGM.
  7. This proxy form must be signed by you or your agent duly authorised in writing or, in the case of a corporation, must either be executed under its common seal or be signed by an officer or agent duly authorised in writing.
