COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES

RESOLUTIONS OF HELICAL PLC (the "Company")

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company, held at 5 Hanover Square, London on 14 July 2022, the following resolutions relating to the Special Business of the meeting were duly passed:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION

RESOLUTION 14: DIRECTORS' AUTHORITY TO ALLOT SHARES

  1. That, in substitution for all existing authorities, the Directors be generally and unconditionally authorised, in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act, to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company:

  2. (a) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £407,751.38; and

  3. (b) comprising equity securities (as defined in section 560(1) of the Companies Act) up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £407,751.38 in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue,

such authorities to apply until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company (or, if earlier, until the close of business on 30 September 2023) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the authority expires which would, or might, require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares to be granted after the authority expires and the Directors may allot shares or grant such rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired. References in this resolution 14 to the nominal amount of rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares (including where such rights are referred to as equity securities as defined in section 560(1) of the Companies Act) are to the nominal amount of shares that may be allotted pursuant to the rights.

For the purposes of this resolution 14, "rights issue" means an offer to:

  • $(i)$ Shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
  • $(ii)$ holders of other equity securities, as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,

to subscribe for further securities by means of the issue of a renounceable letter (or other negotiable document) which may be traded for a period before payment for the securities is due, including an offer to which the Directors may impose any 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.

SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTION 15: AUTHORITY TO DISAPPLY PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS

  1. That, in substitution for all existing authorities and subject to the passing of resolution 14 set out above, the Directors be generally empowered pursuant to sections 570 and 573 of the Companies Act. to:

  2. (a) allot equity securities (as defined in section 560(1) of the Companies Act) of the Company for cash pursuant to the authorisation conferred by that resolution; and/or

  3. (b) sell ordinary shares (as defined in section 560(1) of the Companies Act) held by the Company as treasury shares for cash, in each case as if section 561 of the Companies Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, provided that this power shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities for cash and the sale of treasury shares:
  4. in connection with an offer of equity securities (but in the case of the authorisation i. granted under resolution 14(b) by way of a rights issue only) in favour of Shareholders in

proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to the respective number of Ordinary Shares held by them on the record date for such allotment or sale (and holders of any other class of equity securities entitled to participate therein or if the Directors consider it necessary, as permitted by the rights of those securities) but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements, treasury shares, record dates or legal, requlatory or practical difficulties arising under the laws of or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange in any territory or any other matter whatsoever; and

ii. in the case of the authorisation granted under resolution 14(a) (or in the case of any sale of treasury shares for cash), and otherwise than pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above, up to an aggregate maximum nominal amount of £61,162.71 (calculated, in the case of equity securities which are rights to subscribe for, or to convert securities into, Ordinary Shares by reference to the aggregate nominal amount of relevant shares which may be allotted pursuant to such rights):

and this authority shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting (or if earlier, at the close of business on 30 September 2023) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting, save that, in each case, the Company may before the expiry of such power make an offer or enter into agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted, or treasury shares to be sold, after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities or sell treasury shares in pursuance of such offer or agreement as if the power conferred hereby had not expired.
