THAT the Directors be generally and unconditionally authorised for the purposes of section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares:

  • (a) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,989,332.13; and

These authorisations are to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the date on which this resolution is passed or, if earlier, on 31 October 2023, (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 be granted, after such expiry and the Directors may allot shares, or grant 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).
