the company that their shares are registered in their name. |

|
| 3. |
Beneficial members whose shares are not registered in their
own name but in the name of another, for example, a
nominee, may not complete a proxy form, unless a proxy is
issued to them by the registered member and they should
contact the registered member for assistance in issuing
instruction on voting their shares, or obtaining a proxy to
attend the annual general meeting. |

All beneficial owners who have dematerialised their shares
through a CSDP or broker, other than those in own name,
must provide the CSDP or broker with their voting instruction.

meeting in person, in terms of the custody agreement with
the CSDP or broker, such member may request the CSDP
or broker to provide the member with a letter of representation. |

A member may insert the name of a proxy or the names of
two alternative proxies of the member's choice in the

first on the form of proxy and who is present at the annual
general meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the
exclusion of those whose names follow. |

Please insert number of votes in the relevant spaces
according to how you wish your votes to be cast. However,
if you wish to cast your votes in respect of a lesser number
of ordinary shares than you own in the company, insert the
number of ordinary shares in respect of which you desire to
vote. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to
authorise the proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the
annual general meeting as he/she deems fit in respect of all
the member's votes exercisable thereat. Where the proxy is
the chairman, failure to comply, will be deemed to authorise
the chairman to vote in favour of the resolution. A member
or the proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable
by the member or by the proxy, but the total of votes cast
and in respect whereof abstention is recorded may not
exceed the total of the votes exercisable by the member or
by the proxy. |
