Resolution 18 (Ordinary Resolution)

That in accordance with sections 366 and 367 of the Companies Act 2006 (the 'Act') the Company is, and all companies that are, at any time during the period for which this resolution has effect, subsidiaries of the Company as defined in the Act are, authorised in aggregate to:

Resolution 20 (Special Resolution)

  • a) holders of Ordinary Shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
  • b) holders of other equity securities, as required by the rights of those securities, or as the directors otherwise consider necessary,

and so that the directors may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory, or any matter whatsoever; and
