References to the allotment of Relevant Securities in this resolution include the grant of such rights.

THAT, subject to the passing of resolution 14, the Directors be authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the CA 2006) for cash under the authority conferred by that resolution and/or to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares as if section 561 of the CA 2006 did not apply to any such allotment or sale, provided that such authority shall be limited to:

• (a) the allotment of equity securities in connection with an offer of equity securities (but, in the case of the authority granted under resolution 14(a), by way of a rights issue only):
  • (i) to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their respective holdings; ənd
