The “Vote Withheld” option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy not to vote on any particular resolution. However it should be noted that a vote withheld in this way 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.

This form must be submitted no later than noon on Wednesday 24th June 2020 to be utilised at the AGM.

Completing the Form
·       Receipt of acceptable proxy forms will be notified to the member using the email address in the Members’ Database. No other form of acknowledgement will be made.

·       The Chair or your nominated representative will act as your proxy to carry out your instructions at the voting stages.

·       The proxy will act on your behalf at the AGM, voting on each resolution according to your wishes or using his/her judgement if no instructions are provided on the form as appropriate.

·       You may optionally give instructions to the proxy as to your wishes regarding the resolutions. This must be indicated by placing a mark in the appropriate place on the form. For each resolution, these instructions may be

X to vote FOR or AGAINST the resolution, or

X to actively WITHHOLD YOUR VOTE, or

X to allow the proxy to use their DISCRETION as to the vote

·       The “Vote Withheld” option is provided to enable you to instruct your proxy to abstain and not to vote on a particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a vote withheld in this way 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.

·       If no indication to the proxy is given for any resolution then by default the proxy may use his/her discretion as to how to vote for that particular agenda item.

·       Your proxy will still be in force for any adjournment of the meeting.

·       Proxy instructions may be amended using this form until noon on 24th June 2020.
