ORDINARY RESOLUTION

    1. That, pursuant to section 551 of the Act, the Directors be generally and unconditionally authorised to exercise all powers of the Company to allot:
  • 16.1. Relevant Securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £11,318.22, being approximately one-third of the aggregate value of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 25 October 2023, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document; and
  • 16.2. Relevant Securities comprising equity securities (as defined in section 560(1) of the Act) up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £11,318.22, being approximately one-third of the aggregate value of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at 25 October 2023, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document, in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue:
    • 16.2.1. to holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held by them; and
    • 16.2.2. to holders of other equity securities in the capital of the Company, as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,

but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or any legal or practical problems under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange, provided that (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) these authorities shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or at the close of business on the date which is fifteen months after the date of this Annual General Meeting (whichever is the earlier), save that, in each case, the Company may make an offer or agreement before the authority expires which would or might require Relevant Securities to be allotted after the authority expires and the Directors may allot Relevant Securities pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

In this resolution, 'Relevant Securities' means shares in the Company or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company; a reference to the allotment of Relevant Securities includes the grant of such a right; and a reference to the nominal amount of a Relevant Security which is a right to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company is to the nominal amount of the shares which may be allotted pursuant to that right.
