Where there are joint registered holders of any share, any one of such persons may vote at the Meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders is present at the Meeting, personally or by proxy, then one of the persons so present whose name stands first on the register in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof. |

IMPORTANT: A SHAREHOLDER WHO HAS ALREADY LODGED THE REVISED PROXY FORM WITH THE COMPANY'S REGISTRAR SHOULD NOTE THAT: |
|
(i) |
If no Second Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's registrar, the Revised Proxy Form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by him or her if correctly completed. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder will be entitled to vote at his or her discretion or to abstain on any resolution properly put to the AGM other than those referred to in the notice convening the AGM and the Revised Proxy Form, including a resolution for the Proposed Medium-term Bond Issue set out in this circular. |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
If the Second Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's registrar 24 hours prior to the time appointed for the holding of the AGM, i.e. 9:00 a.m on Thursday 8 May 2008 (the "Closing Time"), the Second Revised Proxy Form will revoke and supersede the Revised Proxy Form previously lodged by him or her.

|
|
|
|
(iii) |
If the Second Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's registrar after the Closing Time, the Second Revised Proxy Form will be invalid. However, it will revoke the Revised Proxy Form previously lodged by the Shareholder, and any vote that may be cast by the purported proxy (whether appointed under the Revised Proxy Form or the Second Revised Proxy Form) will not be counted in any poll which may be taken on a proposed resolution. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised not to lodge the Second Revised Proxy Form after the Closing Time. If such Shareholders wish to vote at the AGM, they will have to attend in person and vote at the AGM themselves. |
