BLUE LABEL
INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2017
Notes
to the form of proxy
1. A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of his/her/its choice in the spaces
provided with or without deleting “the Chairman of the AGM”, but any such deletion must be initialled by the Blue
Label shareholder. The person whose name appears first on the form of proxy and who is present at the AGM will be
entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
2. Please insert with an “X” or insert the number of shares in the relevant spaces according to how you wish your votes to
be cast. If you wish to cast your votes in respect of a lesser number of Blue Label shares exercisable by you, insert the
number of Blue Label shares held in respect of which you wish to vote. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed
to authorise and compel the Chairman, if the Chairman is an authorised proxy, to vote in favour of the resolutions, or to
authorise any other proxy to vote for or against the resolutions or abstain from voting as he/she/it deems fit, in respect of
all the shareholders’ votes exercisable thereat. A shareholder or his/her/its proxy is not obliged to use all the votes
exercisable by the shareholder or his/her/its proxy, but the total of the votes cast and in respect whereof abstention is
recorded may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable by the shareholder or his/her/its proxy.
3. For administrative purposes, forms of proxy must be lodged with the transfer secretaries, at Rosebank Towers,
15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196. (PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107), to be received by no later than 09:00 on
Thursday, 18 January 2018. Should the form of proxy not be delivered to the Transfer Secretaries by this time, you will be
required to furnish a copy of such form of proxy to the chairperson of the meeting before the appointed proxy exercises
any of their rights at the meeting.
4. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory/ies.
5. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must
be attached to this form of proxy unless previously recorded by the transfer secretaries or waived by the Chairman of the
AGM.
6. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending the AGM
and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof, should such
shareholder wish to do so.
7. The Chairman of the AGM may accept or reject any form of proxy which is completed and/or received other than in
accordance with these notes and instructions, provided that the Chairman is satisfied as to the manner in which the
shareholder wishes to vote.
8. Where there are joint holders of shares:
8.1 any such persons may vote at the AGM in respect of such joint shares as if he/she/it were solely entitled thereto;
8.2 any one holder may sign this form of proxy; and
8.3 if more than one such joint holders are present or represented at the AGM, the vote/s of the senior shareholder (for
that purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names of shareholders appear in the register)
who tenders a vote (whether in person or by proxy) will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other
joint shareholder/s.
9. Own-name dematerialised shareholders will be entitled to attend the AGM in person or, if they are unable to attend and
wish to be represented thereat, must complete and return the attached form of proxy to the transfer secretaries in
accordance with the time specified on the form of proxy.
10. Shareholders who hold shares through a nominee should advise their nominee or, if applicable, their CSDP or broker
timeously of their intention to attend and vote at the AGM or to be represented by proxy thereat in order for their
nominee or, if applicable, their CSDP or broker to provide them with the necessary letter of representation to do so or
should provide their nominee or, if applicable, their CSDP or broker timeously with their voting instruction should they
not wish to attend the AGM in person, in order for their nominee to vote in accordance with their instruction at the
AGM.
11. A vote given in terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid in relation to the AGM notwithstanding the death of the
person granting it, the transfer of the shares in respect of which the vote is given, unless an intimation in writing of such
death or transfer is received by the transfer secretaries, before the commencement of the AGM.
12. Where this form of proxy is signed under power of attorney, such power of attorney must accompany this form of proxy,
unless previously recorded by the transfer secretaries or unless this requirement is waived by the Chairman of the AGM.
13. A minor or any other person under legal incapacity must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian, as applicable, unless
the relevant documents establishing his/her capacity are produced or have been registered by Blue Label or the transfer
secretaries.
14. Unless revoked, an appointment of a proxy pursuant to this form of proxy remains valid only until the end of the AGM or
any postponement or adjournment of the AGM. This form of proxy shall be valid at any resumption of a postponed or
adjourned meeting to which it relates although this form of proxy shall not be used at the resumption of the postponed
or adjourned AGM if it could not be used at the AGM for any reason other than it was not lodged timeously for the
AGM. This form of proxy shall, in addition to the authority conferred by the Act, except insofar as it provides otherwise,
be deemed to confer the power generally to act at the meeting in question, subject to any specific direction contained in
this form of proxy as to the manner of voting.
