The authority conferred on the Directors shall expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company after the date of the passing of this resolution or at the close of business on 30 June 2026, whichever is the earlier, except that under this authority the Company may, at any time before such expiry, make offers or enter into agreements 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 such expiry, and the Directors may allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares (as the case may be) in pursuance of such offers or agreements as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.

Subject to the passing of resolution 14, and in substitution for all existing authorities conferred at the 2024 AGM of the Company, the Directors be authorised, pursuant to section 570 and section 573 of the Companies Act 2006 (the ‘Act’), to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the Act) for cash, pursuant to the authority of the Directors conferred by resolution 14, and/or by way of a sale of treasury shares for cash, in each case as if section 561(1) of the Act did not apply to such allotment or sale, provided that the authority conferred by this resolution shall be limited:
