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 1 July 2015 at 11.00am (BST). 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 Meeting but are not entitled to vote at
the Meeting. In order to have votes cast at the Meeting 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 1 July 2015 at 11.00am (BST).
