Explanatory Notes to the Resolutions continued
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting
service providers should note that CRESTCo 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
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 any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and,
where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers 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.
