NOTES: Note from the Board: Members are requested to submit their votes in respect of all of the resolutions proposed in this Notice of AGM. It is the recommendation of the Board that members vote in favour of each resolution on the basis that the Board considers their passing to be in the best interests of the members as a whole. Each of the following directors is also a member of the Company, and each intends to vote in favour of all resolutions (other than the resolution in respect of his or her own re-election) proposed in this Notice of AGM: - William (Bill) Ward, Andrew (Andy) Thorburn, David Gibson, Douglas (Doug) Trussler The issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this notice is 86,964,195 Ordinary Shares. Proxies 1. A shareholder is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend and to speak and vote at the AGM of the Company. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not also be a shareholder of the Company. 2. Shareholders may appoint a proxy online at www.signalshares.com (you will require your investor code which can be found on your share certificate), alternatively, shareholders will find enclosed a form of proxy for use in connection with the AGM (and any adjournment). The form of proxy should be completed in accordance with the instructions. To be valid, the form of proxy (together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is executed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority) must be deposited at the offices of the Company's registrar, Link Asset Services, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, or vote online at www.signalshares.com and follow the instructions, by 11:00 a.m. on 11 June 2018 (or 48 hours (excluding non-working days) preceding the date and time for any adjourned meeting). A space has been included in the form of proxy to allow shareholders to specify the number of shares in respect of which that proxy is appointed. Shareholders who return the form of proxy duly executed but leave this space blank will be deemed to have appointed the proxy in respect of all of their shares. Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their shareholding should photocopy the form of proxy provided with this document indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of ordinary shares in the Company in respect of which the proxy is appointed. All forms of proxy should be returned together in the same envelope. In the case of joint holders, any one holder may vote. If more than one holder is present at the meeting, only the vote of the senior will be accepted, seniority being determined in the order in which the names appear on the register of shareholders of the Company. 3. To allow effective constitution of the meeting, if it is apparent to the Chairman that no shareholders will be present in person or by proxy, other than by proxy in the Chairman s favour, then the Chairman may appoint a substitute to act as proxy in his stead for any shareholder, provided that such substitute proxy shall vote on the same basis as the Chairman. Corporate representatives 4. A corporate shareholder may by resolution of its board or other governing body, authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the AGM. Where a person is authorised to represent a corporate shareholder, he may be required to produce a certified copy of the resolution from which he derives his authority. Right to attend and vote 5. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities (Guernsey) Regulations, 2009, to be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes they may cast), shareholders must be registered in the register of members of the Company by close of business on 11 June 2018 or, in the event of any adjournment, 48 hours before the time of the adjourned meeting. Changes to entries on the register of shareholders after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the AGM. NOTE FOR CREST shareholders: Electronic proxy appointment through CREST CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed (a) voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST proxy instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK and Ireland s (EUI) specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the Page 4 of 6

CREST manual which can be viewed at www.euroclear.com. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or to an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Company s agent, Link Asset Services (CREST Participant ID RA10) by 11:00 a.m. on 11 June 2018 (or 48 hours (excluding non-working days) preceding the date and time for any adjourned meeting). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the Company s agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI 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) 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.
