1. Get a voting card

Full Votes

To submit a full vote on a resolution ensure you are in the 'Full Vote' tab. Place your vote by clicking on the 'For', 'Against', or 'Abstain' voting buttons.

Partial Votes

To submit a partial vote on a resolution ensure you are in the 'Partial Vote' tab. You can enter the number of votes you would like to vote (for any or all) resolution/s. The total amount of votes that you are entitled to vote for will be listed under each resolution. When you enter the number of votes in a certain box it will automatically tally how many votes you have left.

Note: If you are submitting a partial vote and do not use all of your entitled votes, the un-voted portion will be submitted as No Instruction and therefore will not be counted.

Once you have finished voting on the resolutions scroll down to the bottom of the box and click the blue 'Cast Vote' or 'Cast Partial Vote' button.

Note: You are able to close your voting card during the meeting without submitting your vote at any time while voting remains open. Any votes you have already made will be saved for the next time you open up the voting card. The voting card will appear on the bottom left corner of the webpage. The message 'Not yet submitted' will appear at the bottom of the page.

You can edit your voting card at any point while voting is open by clicking on 'Edit Card'. This will reopen the voting card with any previous votes made.

If at any point you have submitted your voting card and wish to make a change while voting is still open you can do so by clicking the 'Edit Card' button and making the required change. Once you have completed your card select the blue 'Cast Vote' or 'Cast Partial Vote' button.

The voting card remains editable until the voting is closed at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. Once voting has been closed all voting cards, submitted and un-submitted, will automatically be submitted and cannot be changed.

At the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting a red bar with a countdown timer will appear at the top of the Webcast and Slide windows advising the remaining voting time available to shareholders. Please make any changes required to your voting cards at this point and submit your voting cards.

If an additional resolution is proposed during the meeting, there will be a short delay while the resolution is added to the voting card. Once the resolution has been added you will be notified by the Chairman during the meeting. In order to vote on the extra resolution you will need to reopen your voting card to cast your vote by clicking the 'Edit Card' button.

Note: Registration for the Annual General Meeting and voting opens one hour before the meeting begins.

2. How to ask a question

Note: Only shareholders are eligible to ask questions.

You will only be able to ask a question after you have registered to vote. If you would like to ask a question, click on the 'Ask a Question' box either at the top or bottom of the webpage.

The 'Ask a Question' box will then pop up with two sections for completion.

In the 'Regarding' section click on the drop down arrow and select one of the following categories:

• General Business	• Resolution 4
•	Resolution 1	•	Resolution 5
•	Resolution 2	•	Resolution 6

• Resolution 3

After you have selected your question category, click in the 'Question' section and type your question.

When you are ready to submit your question - click the blue 'Submit Question' button. This will send the question to the Management/Board.

Note that not all questions are guaranteed to be answered during the Annual General Meeting, but we will do our best to address your concerns.

Once you have asked a question a 'View Questions' box will appear.

At any point you can click on 'View Questions' and see all the questions you have submitted. Only you can see the questions you have asked.

Note: You can submit your questions by this method one hour before the meeting begins, if you have registered to vote. You can continue to submit questions up until the close of voting.

If your question has been answered and you would like to exercise your right of reply, you can do so by submitting another question.
