someone plz assist with proxy form, page-22

This is my take on how it works:

This relates only to people who do not attend the AGM.

1. Nominate a proxy (Chairman or otherwise), don’t tick the boxes, the nominated proxy will vote for you as they see fit.

2. Nominate a proxy (Chairman or otherwise), tick the boxes, the nominated proxy must vote as directed by you.

3. Don’t nominate proxy, don’t tick the boxes, the Chairman will default as your proxy, the Chairman will vote for you as he sees fit.

4. Don’t nominate a proxy, tick the boxes, the Chairman will default as your proxy, the Chairman must vote as directed by you.

The confusion on HC seems to be between 3 and 4. I don’t like leaving the proxy name blank so I always do option 2. I always choose the Chairman as it’s a guarantee he will be present at the AGM.
