Notes:

1 A member entitled to attend and to speak and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to speak and vote instead of them. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. Completion and return of the Class Meeting Form of Proxy will not preclude members from attending or voting at the meeting, if they so wish.

2 More than one proxy may be appointed provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to difference shares.

3 To be valid the Class Meeting Form of Proxy, together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is executed (or a notarially certified copy of such power of authority) must be deposited with the Registrar, Anson Registrars, Registrars Limited, PO Box 426, Anson House, Havilland Street, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 3WX not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting. A Class Meeting Form of Proxy is enclosed with this notice.

4 All persons recorded on the register of members as holding ZDP Shares in the Company as at 5.00 p.m. on 21 August 2015 or, if the meeting is adjourned, as at 48 hours before the time of any adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to attend and vote (either in person or by proxy) at the meeting and shall be entitled to one vote per share held.

5 The quorum for the Class Meeting is two persons present in person or by proxy and holding at least one third of the issued ZDP Shares at the date of the Meeting. If the meeting is not quorate, it will be adjourned to the same time and place fourteen clear days later, whereupon one person holding ZDP Shares and present in person or by proxy shall form the quorum.

6 Where there are joint registered holders of any ZDP Shares, such persons shall not have the right of voting individually in respect of such shares but shall elect one of their number to represent them and to vote whether in person or by proxy in their name. In default of such election, the person whose name stands first on the register of ZDP Shareholders shall alone be entitled to vote.

7 On a poll, votes may be given either personally or by proxy and a holder of ZDP Shares entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

8 Any corporation which is a member may by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at this meeting. Any person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of the corporation which he represents the same powers (other than to appoint a proxy) as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company.

9 Pursuant to the Articles, every member (being an individual) present in person or by proxy or (being a corporation) present by a duly authorised representative shall have one vote on a show of hands, subject to any special voting powers or restrictions, and one vote per ZDP Share on a poll (other than the Company itself where it holds its own shares as treasury shares), subject to any special voting powers or restrictions.

10 As at 23 March 2015 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) the total number of votes exercisable by holders of ZDP Shares is 20,763,386.

11 Capitalised terms used in this Notice of Class Meeting but not defined shall bear the same meanings as set out in the Company's Articles of Incorporation.
