How to fill in the proxy form - Whether or not you can attend the annual general meeting, we recommend that you appoint the chair of the meeting, or another person of your choice, as your proxy, to attend and vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. To appoint someone other than the chair of the meeting, you should cross out the words 'the chair of the meeting' and write in the name and address of the person you want to appoint as your proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder. A proxy is entitled to exercise all or any of a shareholder's rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting.

Voting less than your entitlement - Please enter in the box the number of shares you are authorising the proxy to vote. If left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full entitlement.

Multiple proxies - If you want to appoint more than one proxy please tick the 'multiple proxies' box. Additional proxy forms may be obtained by contacting the company's registrar, Equiniti, on [phone] (please use the country code when calling from outside the UK) or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy and return all proxy forms in the same envelope to the address shown overleaf (Lines are open 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales).

Recording your votes - Please mark the appropriate box overleaf 'for', 'against' or 'withheld' for each resolution in black ink like this: x . Your proxy will have discretion to vote on any resolution where you have not given a specific instruction how to vote or on any other business which may properly come before the meeting. A 'withheld' vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the proportion of shares for or against any resolution.

Please sign and date the form, initial any alterations, tear it off and post it (postage paid).

Deadline for submission - To be valid, your proxy instructions must be received no later than 11.00 am on Wednesday 19 July 2023. Details of the resolutions are set out in the notice calling the meeting. You can submit your proxy instructions electronically at sharevote.co.uk. To do this, you will need your voting reference numbers (the three numbers quoted overleaf). CREST members can use the CREST electronic proxy voting service.

Voting by poll - Voting on all substantive resolutions will take place by poll. On a poll, holders of ordinary shares shall have one vote for every share held. If, having submitted a proxy form, you attend the meeting in person, a further poll card will need to be completed if you wish to change your voting instructions. The return of a completed proxy form will not prevent a shareholder attending the AGM and voting in person if they wish to do so. If the form is signed by

Joint holders - In the case of joint holders, only one need sign the form. In the case of a corporation, the form must be signed as a deed or be appropriately signed by a duly authorised official or officials whose capacity should be stated. The appropriate power of attorney or other authority should be sent with the form.

Please detach and return proxy by post
