subject to any limits or restrictions or arrangements the Directors may impose which they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with Treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory, or practical problems in, or laws of, any territory, the requirements of any stock exchange or by virtue of shares being represented by depositary receipts, or any matter, such authority to apply until the close of business on June 30, 2022 or, if earlier, until the conclusion of the Company's AGM to be held in 2022, but during this period the Company may make offers, and enter into agreements,
which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted and rights to subscribe for, or to convert securities into, shares in the Company to be granted after the authority ends and the Directors may allot equity securities and grant rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
