Notes

1. As a member of the Company you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Company.  You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes.
2. Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person.  If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
3. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you.  To appoint as your proxy a person other than the Chair of the meeting, insert their full name in the box.  If you sign and return this proxy form with no name inserted in the box, the Chair of the meeting will be deemed to be your proxy.  Where you appoint as your proxy someone other than the Chair, you are responsible for ensuring that they attend the meeting and are aware of your voting intentions.  If you wish your proxy to make any comments on your behalf, you will need to appoint someone other than the Chair and give them the relevant instructions directly.
4. To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions select the appropriate radio button.  If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion.  Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.
5. To appoint a proxy using this form, the form must be:
   – Completed and signed;
   – Sent or delivered to the Company at National Energy Action, 6^th Floor West One, Forth Banks, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 3PA; and
   – Received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the meeting.
6. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.
7. As an alternative to completing this hard-copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy electronically by sending an email to the address below from an email address you have specified to the Company for the purposes of receiving documents or information by electronic means.  For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, your appointment must be received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the meeting at Tracey.Archer@nea.org.uk.
8. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
9. For details of how to change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy appointment, see the notes to the notice of meeting.
