attend, speak and vote in person at the scheme meeting or any adjourned
meeting, or may appoint one or more proxies (who need not be shareholder/s of
the Applicant) to attend, speak and vote at the scheme meeting in the place of
such scheme members. A form of proxy (green) for this purpose, for completion
by certificated scheme members and dematerialised own name scheme members
only, is included in the circular which has been posted to the ordinary
shareholders of the Applicant at their addresses as recorded in the register
or sub- register of the Applicant, as the case may be, at the close of
business on the date being not more than 5 (five) business days before the

proxy, then only one of those proxies (in order of appointment) will be
entitled to exercise that proxy. In the case of joint certificated scheme
members and joint dematerialised own name scheme members, the vote of the
senior certificated scheme member or senior dematerialised own name scheme
member (seniority will be determined by the order in which the names of the
joint certificated scheme members or joint dematerialised own name scheme
members stand in the Applicant`s register of shareholders) who tenders a vote
(whether in person or by proxy) will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote
of the other joint certificated scheme member/s or joint dematerialised own
name scheme member/s.

through a CSDP or broker which are not in own name registration form and who
wish to attend and vote at the scheme meeting or any adjourned meeting should
timeously inform their CSDPs or brokers of their intention to attend and vote
at the scheme meeting or any adjourned meeting in order for their CSDPs or
brokers to issue them with the necessary letter of representation to attend
and vote at the scheme meeting. Should such dematerialised ordinary
shareholders of the Applicant not wish to attend the scheme meeting or
adjourned meeting in person, but wish to vote thereat, they should timeously
provide their CSDPs or brokers with their voting instructions in order for
his/her CSDP or broker to vote in accordance with his/her instruction at the
scheme meeting or adjourned meeting. The CSDP or broker of such shareholders
will then provide the transfer secretaries of the Applicant with forms of
proxy in terms of each individual dematerialised scheme member`s instruction.
