NOTES TO COMPLETION OF FORM OF PROXY
1.
If you have disposed of all your ordinary shares, this document should be handed to the purchaser of such ordinary shares or the broker, Central
Securities Depository Participant (“
CSDP
”), banker, attorney, accountant or other person through whom the disposal was effected.
2.
If you are in any doubt as to what action you should take arising from this document, please immediately consult your broker, CSDP, banker,
attorney, accountant or other person through whom the disposal was effected. You are reminded that the onus is on you to communicate with
your CSDP or broker.
3.
A form of proxy is only to be completed by those ordinary shareholders who are:
3.1 holding ordinary shares in certificated form; or
3.2 recorded on sub-register electronic form in “own name”.
4.
If you have already dematerialised your ordinary shares through a CSDP or broker and wish to attend the Annual General Meeting, you must
request your CSDP or broker to provide you with a letter of representation or you must instruct your CSDP or broker to vote by proxy on your behalf
in terms of the agreement entered into between yourself and your CSDP or broker.
5.
A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder’s choice in the space provided with or
without deleting “the chairman of the Annual General Meeting” but any such deletion must be initialled by you. Any insertion or deletion not
complying with the foregoing will, subject to 15 below, be declared not to have been validly effected. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the
Company. The person whose name stands first on this form of proxy and who is present at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders will be
entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow. In the event that no names are indicated, the proxy shall be exercised by the
chairman of the Annual General Meeting.
6.
If voting is by a show of hands, any person who is present at the meeting, whether as a shareholder or as a proxy for a shareholder, has the number
of votes determined in accordance with the voting rights associated with the securities held by that shareholder.
7.
A shareholder’s instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant numbers of votes exercisable by the shareholder in the
appropriate box provided. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise the proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the Annual
General Meeting as he/she deems fit in respect of all the shareholder’s votes exercisable thereat. A shareholder or the proxy is not obliged to use
all the votes exercisable by the shareholder or by the proxy, but the total of the votes cast and in respect of which abstention is recorded, may not
exceed the maximum number of the votes exercisable by the shareholder or by the proxy.
8.
The proxy shall (unless this sentence is struck out and countersigned) have the authority to vote, as he/she deems fit, on any other resolution which
may validly be proposed at the meeting, including in respect of the proposed amendment to the above resolutions. If the aforegoing sentence is
struck out, the proxy shall be deemed to be instructed to vote against any such proposed additional resolution and/or proposed amendment to
an existing resolution as proposed in the notice to which this form of proxy is attached. A vote given in terms of an instrument of proxy shall be
valid in relation to the meeting, notwithstanding the death of the person granting it, or the revocation of the proxy, or the transfer of the shares in
respect of which the vote is given, unless an intimation in writing of such death, revocation or transfer is received by the Company Secretary before
the commencement of the Annual General Meeting.
