In each case, changes to the register of members of the Company after 6.00 p.m. on the relevant date will be disregarded in determining the right to attend and vote at the Court Meeting. In the case of Scheme Shareholders who hold their Scheme Shares jointly ("Joint Holders"), the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other Joint Holder(s) and, for this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names of the Joint Holder(s) are included in the register of members of the Company (the first- named being the most senior). Any Scheme Shareholder that is a corporation may by resolution of its directors or other governing body appoint one or more persons to act as its corporate representatives at the Court Meeting, who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a Scheme Shareholder provided that: (i) only one corporate representative may be counted in determining, under section 899(1) of the Companies Act, whether a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders has approved the Scheme; and (ii) if they purport to exercise the power in the same way as each other in respect of the same Scheme Shares, the power is treated as exercised in that way and in other cases the power is treated as not exercised. The Chair of the Court Meeting may require a corporate representative to produce to the Company or its registrars their written authority to attend, speak and vote at the Court Meeting at any time before the start of the Court Meeting. The corporate representative shall not be entitled to exercise the powers conferred on them by the Scheme Shareholder until any such demand has been satisfied. Scheme Shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy in respect of some or all of their Scheme Shares. In order to be valid, a completed and signed BLUE Form of Proxy (as defined in the Circular) for use at the Court Meeting must be lodged with the Company's registrar, Computershare, at The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZZ no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Court Meeting or, in the case of a postponed or adjourned meeting, no later than 48 hours before the time of the postponed or adjourned meeting, all in accordance with the instructions printed on the Forms of Proxy. Alternatively, a BLUE Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting, at the Court Meeting before the start of the Court Meeting (or any adjournment thereof or rescheduled meeting, if postponed). As an alternative to completing and returning the printed BLUE Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting, Scheme Shareholders may register the appointment of a proxy electronically by logging on to the following website: www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. Full details of the procedure are given on the website. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, the appointment must be received by the Company's registrar, Computershare no later than 10:45 a.m. on 14 February 2023 (or, in the case of a postponed or adjourned meeting, not less than 48 hours prior to the time and date set for the postponed or adjourned meeting). If you have not appointed a proxy electronically by such time, you may complete the BLUE Form of Proxy and hand it to the chair of the Court Meeting, at the Court Meeting before the start of the Court Meeting (or any adjournment thereof or rescheduled meeting, if postponed). Scheme Shareholders who hold Scheme Shares through CREST and who wish to appoint a proxy through the CREST Electronic Proxy Service may do so for the Court Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (the "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear UK & International Limited ("Euroclear") and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Computershare (under CREST participant ID 3RA50) by 10.45 a.m. on 14 February 2023 or, in the case of a postponed or adjourned meeting, not later than 48 hours before the time of the postponed or adjourned Court Meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Computershare is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner required by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) 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 input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his or her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by a particular time. For this purpose, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s) are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
