Voting rights of joint holders
If more than one of the joint holders of a share tenders a vote on the same resolution,
whether in person or by proxy, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote shall be accepted
to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s); and for this purpose seniority
shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register in respect of the
relevant share.
47.
Voting rights of members incapable of managing their affairs
A member in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction
(whether in Jersey or elsewhere) in matters concerning mental disorder may vote, whether
on a show of hands or on a poll, by his attorney, receiver,
curator bonis
or other person in
the nature of a receiver or
curator bonis
appointed by that court, and the attorney,
receiver,
curator bonis
or other person may vote by proxy. Evidence to the satisfaction of
the board of the authority of the person claiming the right to vote must be received at the
Office (or at such other address as may be specified for the receipt of proxy appointments)
not later than the last time by which a proxy appointment must be received in order to be
valid for use at the meeting or adjourned meeting or on the holding of the poll at or on
which that person proposes to vote and, in default, the right to vote shall not be
exercisable.
48.
Voting rights suspended where sums overdue
Unless the board otherwise decides, a member shall not be entitled to vote, either in
person or by proxy, at any general meeting of the Company in respect of any share held
by him unless all calls and other sums presently payable by him in respect of that share
have been paid.

Objections to admissibility of votes
No objection shall be raised as to the admissibility of any vote except at the meeting or
adjourned meeting or poll at which the vote objected to is or may be given or tendered,
and every vote not disallowed at such meeting or poll shall be valid for all purposes. Any
such objection made in due time shall be referred to the chairman of the meeting, whose
decision shall be final and conclusive.
