Resolution 6 - Authority to allot shares

Resolution 6 seeks the authority to allot ordinary shares for a period expiring at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting.

It is the current intention to renew this authority annually.

Resolution 8 – Notice of General Meetings

The Companies Act 2006 enables listed companies to call a general meeting (other than an Annual General Meeting) on 14 clear days' notice. The EU Shareholder Rights Directive requires listed companies to call such general meetings on at least 21 clear days' notice unless shareholders have previously approved the calling of general meetings at shorter notice. The Company wishes to retain the option of calling general meetings on 14 clear days' notice. Resolution 8 seeks such approval. The approval will be effective up to the next Annual General Meeting and it is our intention to renew the authority at each Annual General Meeting.
