At the Annual General Meeting of the Company duly convened and held at The Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5ED on 12 May 2016 the following special business resolutions were duly passed, resolutions 15, 17 and 19 as Special Resolutions and resolutions 16 and 18 as Ordinary Resolutions of the Company:
To generally and unconditionally authorise the Directors pursuant to and in accordance with Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 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 in the Company;
i) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £7,323,761.58;
such authorities to apply in substitution for all previous authorities pursuant to Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 and to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting or on 30 June 2017, whichever is the earlier but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements during the relevant period which would, or might, require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares to be granted after the authority expires and the Directors may allot shares or grant such rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
For the purposes of this resolution, "rights issue" means an offer to:
to subscribe for further securities by means of the issue of a renounceable letter (or other negotiable document) which may be traded for a period before payment for the securities is due, 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.
as if Section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply to such allotment; and
ii) the Directors be generally empowered pursuant to Section 570 of the Companies Act 2006 to allot equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the Companies Act 2006) for cash pursuant to the authority given by paragraphs (i) and (ii) of Resolution 16 and/or pursuant to section 573 of the Companies Act 2006 to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash in connection with a rights issue as if Section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply to such allotment,
such powers to expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting in 2017 or at the close of business on 30 June 2017, whichever is the earlier but so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the power expires which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted after the power expires and the Directors may allot equity securities or grant such rights under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not expired.
For the purposes of this resolution "rights issue" has the same meaning as in resolution 16.
provided that the total aggregate amount of political donations and political expenditure pursuant to this authority shall not exceed £130,000 for the Group as a whole, and the amount authorised under each of the paragraphs (a) to (c) shall be limited to such amount.
All existing authorisations and approvals relating to political donations or political expenditure under Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 are hereby revoked without prejudice to any donation made or expenditure incurred prior to the date hereof pursuant to such authorisation or approval.
For the purposes of this resolution, the terms 'political donation', 'political parties', 'political organisation' and 'political expenditure' have the meanings given by sections 363 to 365 of the Companies Act 2006.
