and (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) these authorities shall expire at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company in 2016 (or, if earlier, on 30 September 2016), save that the Company may before such expiry make any offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares to be granted after such expiry and the directors may allot such shares or grant such rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired. These authorities shall be in substitution for and shall replace any existing authorities to the extent not utilised at the date this resolution is passed.
