The following provisions shall apply in relation to
proxies:
1. A shareholder of the company may appoint
any individual (including one who is not a
shareholder of the company) as a proxy to
participate in, speak and vote at the annual
general meeting (AGM) of the company.
A shareholder may therefore insert the name
of a proxy or the names of two alternative
proxies of the shareholder’s choice in the
space provided, with or without deleting ‘the
chair of the company, or failing him/her, the
chair of the AGM’.The person whose name
is first on the form of proxy and who is
present at the AGM will be entitled to act
as proxy to the exclusion of those whose
names follow.
2. A shareholder may appoint two or more
persons concurrently as proxies and may
appoint more than one proxy to exercise
voting rights attached to different securities
held by the shareholder.
3. A proxy instrument must be in writing,
dated and signed by the shareholder.
4. A proxy may delegate his/her authority to
act on behalf of the shareholder to another
person subject to any restrictions set out
in the instrument appointing the proxy.
5. A copy of the instrument appointing a proxy
must be delivered to the company, or to any
other person on behalf of the company,
before the proxy exercises any rights of
the shareholder at the AGM.
6. Irrespective of the form of instrument used
to appoint the proxy: (i) the appointment is
suspended at any time and to the extent that
the shareholder chooses to act directly and
in person in exercising any rights as a
shareholder; (ii) the appointment is revocable
unless the proxy appointment expressly
states otherwise; and (iii) if the appointment
is revocable, a shareholder may revoke the
proxy appointment by cancelling it in writing
or making a later inconsistent appointment
of a proxy and delivering a copy of the
revocation instrument to the proxy and the
company.
7. The proxy is entitled to exercise, or abstain
from exercising, any voting right of the
shareholder without direction except as
otherwise provided by the memorandum
of incorporation of the company, or the
instrument appointing the proxy.
8. A shareholder’s instructions to the proxy
must be indicated by inserting an X in the
appropriate box. Failure to comply with this
will be deemed to authorise the chair of the
annual general meeting, if he/she is the
authorised proxy, to vote in favour of the
resolutions at the AGM, or any other proxy
to vote or abstain from voting at the AGM
as he/she deems fit, in respect of the
shareholder’s total holding.
9. Every shareholder present in person or by
proxy and entitled to vote, will on a show
of hands have only one vote and, on a poll,
every shareholder will have one vote for
every ordinary share held.
10. Documentary evidence establishing the
authority of the person signing this form of
proxy in a representative capacity must be
attached to this form unless previously
recorded by the company or waived by the
chair of the AGM.
11. A shareholder may appoint a proxy at any
time. For practical purposes, forms of proxy
must be lodged with the transfer secretaries,
Equity Express, a division of Singular
Systems Proprietary Limited, 71 Corlett
Drive, Birnam 2196 or PO Box 1266, Bramley
2018, to reach them not less than forty-eight
(48) hours (not including Saturdays, Sundays
and public holidays) before the AGM to allow
for processing of such proxies. All other
proxies must be handed in at the registration
desks at MultiChoice City on 30 August 2017
prior to the commencement of the meeting.
