UNITED KINGDOM (CREST VOTING INSTRUCTION)

Depository interest holders in CREST (“DI Holders”) may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available at www.euroclear.com/CREST).  CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (“CREST Voting Instruction”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual.

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the company’s agent (Computershare UK - contact details below) no later than 18 November 2016 at 2.00am (GMT).  For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company’s agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.  DI Holders in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages.  Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions.  It is the responsibility of the DI Holder concerned to take (or, if the DI Holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time.

DI Holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

Form of Instruction

DI Holders are invited to attend the AGM but are not entitled to vote at the AGM.  In order to have votes cast at the AGM on their behalf, DI Holders must complete, sign and return the Forms of Instruction sent to them together with this Notice to the Company’s agent, Computershare UK (contact details below), by no later than 18 November 2016 at 2.00am (GMT).
