If your shares are registered in the name of your nominee, the nominee will receive the proxy form detailed above. You must arrange to instruct the nominee how you wish your votes to be cast.
Yes.
Shareholders corporate representatives and proxies have the opportunity to ask questions relating to the items on the meeting agenda and about the Company and its activities. Specific time is set aside during the meeting for this.
You can vote at the meeting in person. A poll is held on each of the resolutions put before the meeting. If you cannot go to the meeting yourself, you can appoint someone else to vote in your place as your 'proxy'. This could be someone you know or, if you do not know anyone attending the meeting, it is usual to appoint the chairman. To do this, you need to complete the proxy card that is sent to you with the annual report/review and send it back to the Company's registrar before the meeting.
If you are a UK shareholder and wish to vote via the internet, you may do so at www.sharevote.co.uk. You will require the voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown on your form of proxy. If you do not have a form of proxy, please contact the Company’s Registrars (refer to the Company’s website under Investors/Shareholder services/Registrars for contact details).
