ORDINARY RESOLUTION (Resolution 19)

THAT the Directors be and are hereby generally and unconditionally authorised pursuant to and in accordance with Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company up to an aggregate nominal amount of £26,226,666, such authority to apply in substitution for all previous authorities pursuant to Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 and to expire at the earlier of the conclusion of next year's Annual General Meeting or at close of business on 30 June 2024, save that the Company may before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or convert securities into shares to be granted after such expiry and the Directors may allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert securities into shares under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION (Resolution 20)

THAT, subject to the passing of resolution 19 above, the Directors be authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the Companies Act 2006) wholly for cash pursuant to the authority given by resolution 19 above or where the allotment constitutes an allotment of equity securities by virtue of Section 560(3) of the Companies Act 2006, in each case:

  • a. in connection with a pre-emptive offer; and
  • b. otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £3,935,735;

  • II. references to an allotment of equity securities shall include a sale of treasury shares; and
  • III. the nominal amount of any securities shall be taken to be, in the case of rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares of the Company, the nominal amount of such shares which may be allotted pursuant to such rights.

  • a. limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £3,935,735; and

provided that this authority shall expire at the earlier of the conclusion of next year's Annual General Meeting or at close of business on 30 June 2024, save that the Company may, before such expiry, 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 given by this resolution has expired and the Directors may allot equity securities and sell treasury shares under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

For the purposes of this resolution, the nominal amount of any securities shall be taken to be, in the case of rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares of the Company, the nominal amount of such shares which may be allotted pursuant to such rights.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION (Resolution 22)

THAT the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised for the purpose of Section 701 of the Companies Act 2006 to make one or more market purchases (within the meaning of Section 693(4) of the Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares of 31/9p each in the capital of the Company, subject to the following conditions:
