At an Annual General Meeting of the Company, duly convened and held at Jefferies Hoare Govett, Vintners Place, 68 Upper Thames Street, London EC4V 3BJ on Tuesday, 12 May 2015, at 1.00pm the following resolutions were passed:
To authorise the directors generally and unconditionally, in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares of the Company:
(a) up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £3,895,540; and
These authorities shall apply in substitution for all previous authorities pursuant to section 551 of the Act and expire on the date of the next Annual General Meeting or on 30 June 2016, whichever is the earlier, but in each case the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities under any such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred by this resolution had not expired.
For the purposes of this resolution, "rights issue" means an offer to:
to subscribe further securities, subject in both cases to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may consider necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory.
(a) pursuant to the authority given by paragraph (a) of resolution 17 or where the allotment constitutes an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(3) of the Act in each case:
i. in connection with a pre-emptive offer; and
ii. otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,168,662; and
(b) pursuant to the authority given by paragraph (b) of resolution 17 in connection with a rights issue,
as if section 561(1) of the Act did not apply to any such allotment.
This power shall expire on the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or on 30 June 2016, whichever is the earlier, save that the Company may, before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities under any such an offer or agreement as if the authority conferred by this resolution had not expired.
For the purposes of this resolution:
i. "rights issue" has the same meaning as in resolution 17;
ii. "pre-emptive offer" means an offer of equity securities open for acceptance for a period fixed by the directors to (a) holders (other than the Company) on the register on a record date fixed by the directors of ordinary shares in proportion to their respective holdings and (b) other persons so entitled by virtue of the rights attaching to any other equity securities held by them, but subject in both cases to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory;
iii. references to an allotment of equity securities shall include a sale of treasury shares; and
iv. 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) the maximum number of ordinary shares which may be purchased is 11,686,620;
(b) the minimum price, exclusive of any expenses, which may be paid for each ordinary share is 10 pence;
(c) the maximum price, exclusive of any expenses, which may be paid for each ordinary share is an amount equal to the higher of:
i. 105% of the average closing price of an ordinary share, as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days prior to the day on which the purchase is made; and
ii. an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid for an ordinary share as stipulated by Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC)No. 2273/2003 (relating to buy-back programmes and stabilisation of financial instruments).
This authority shall expire on the date of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or on 30 June 2016, whichever is the earlier, but, in each case, save that the company may, before such expiry, enter into a contract to purchase ordinary shares which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of such authority.
