At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held at 11.00am on 8 June 2021, the following one ordinary and four special resolutions were passed.
That, in substitution for all existing authorities, the Directors be generally and unconditionally authorised in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act') to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company:
such authorities to expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2022), unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting, save that the Company may before such expiry make any offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or convert any security in shares to be granted, after such expiry, and the Directors may allot shares, or grant such rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares, in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if the authorisations conferred hereby had not expired.
For the purposes of this Resolution 13 "rights issue" means an offer to:
to subscribe for further securities by means of the issue of a renounceable letter (or other neqotiable document) which may be traded for a period before payment for the securities is due, including an offer to which the Directors may limits or restrictions or make any other arrangements which they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter.
That, in substitution for all existing authorities and if Resolution 13 is passed, the Directors be authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560(1) of the Act) for cash under the authority given by that resolution and/or to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if section 561 of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, such authority to be limited to:
and so that the Directors may impose such exclusions or other arrangements as they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements, treasury shares, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical difficulties which may arise under the laws of, or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange in, any territory, or any other matter whatsoever; and
(b) To the allotment of equity securities in pursuant to the authority granted by Resolution 13(a) and/or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than under paragraph 14(a) above up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,105,442 representing not more than 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 30 April 2021;
such authority to expire at the end of the next AGM of the Company (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2022) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting, but, in each case, prior to its expiry the Company may make offers, and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (and treasury shares to be sold) after the authority expires and the Company may allot equity securities (and/or sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired. For the purpose of this Resolution 14, "rights issue" has the same meaning as in Resolution 13 above.
That, if Resolution 13 is passed, the Directors be authorised, in addition to any authority granted under Resolution 14, to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560(1) of the Act) for cash under the authority given by Resolution 13 and/or to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if section 561 of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, such authority to be:
such authority to expire at the end of the next AGM of the Company (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2022) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting, but, in each case, prior to its expiry the Company may make offers, and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (and/or treasury shares to be sold) after the authority expires and the Directors may allot equity securities (and/or sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

This authority shall expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2022); and the Company may, before this authority expires, make a contract to purchase ordinary shares that will or may be executed or completed wholly or partly after the expiry of this authority, and may make purchases of ordinary shares pursuant to it as if this authority had not expired.
