That the Directors be and are hereby generally and unconditionally authorised pursuant to Section 1021 of the Companies Act 2014 to exercise all powers of the Company to allot relevant securities (within the meaning of Section 1021 of the Companies Act 2014) up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to €29,742. The authority hereby conferred shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, 15 August 2026 (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) provided that the Company may before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require relevant securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot relevant securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the authority hereby conferred has expired.
That, subject to the passing of Resolution 7 above, the Directors be and are hereby empowered pursuant to Section 1023 of the Companies Act 2014 to allot equity securities (within the meaning of Section 1023 of the said Act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 7 above as if sub-Section (1) of Section 1022 of the said Act did not apply to any such allotment and provided that this power shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities:
The power hereby conferred shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, 15 August 2026 (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) 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 in pursuance of such offer or agreement as if the power conferred hereby had not expired.
That the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries (as defined by Section 7 of the Companies Act 2014) be and they are hereby generally authorised to make market purchases (as defined in section 1072 of the Companies Act 2014) of ordinary shares of €0.001 each in the capital of the Company ("Shares") on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Directors may from time to time determine but subject, however, to the provisions of the Companies Act 2014 and to the following restrictions and provisions:
where the average market value of a Share for the purpose of sub-paragraph (i) shall be the amount equal to the average of the five amounts resulting from determining whichever of the following ((1), (2) or (3) specified below) in respect of Shares shall be appropriate for each of the five business days immediately preceding the day on which the Relevant Share is purchased as determined from the information published in the Euronext Dublin Daily Official List reporting the business done on each of those five days:
and if there shall be only a bid (but not an offer) price or an offer (but not a bid) price reported, or if there shall not be any bid or offer price reported, for any particular day, that day shall not be treated as a business day for the purposes of this paragraph (c); provided that, if for any reason it shall be impossible or impracticable to determine an appropriate amount for any of those five days on the above basis, the Directors may, if they think fit and having taken into account the prices at which recent dealings in such shares have taken place, determine an amount for such day and the amount so determined shall be deemed to be appropriate for that day for the purposes of calculating the maximum price; and if the means of providing the foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to which the maximum price is to be determined is altered or is replaced by some other means, then the maximum price shall be
determined on the basis of the equivalent information published by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on the Irish Stock Exchange (trading as Euronext Dublin) or its equivalent;
provided that, if the means of providing the foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to which the maximum price is to be determined is altered or is replaced by some other means, then a maximum price shall be determined on the basis of the equivalent information published by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on the London Stock Exchange or its equivalent; and
That:
such treasury share is re-allotted, as determined from information published in the Euronext Dublin Daily Official List reporting the business done on each of those five business days:
and if there shall be only a bid (but not an offer) price or an offer (but not a bid) price reported, or if there shall not be any bid or offer price reported, for any particular day, then that day shall not be treated as a business day for the purposes of this paragraph (b); provided that if for any reason it shall be impossible or impracticable to determine an appropriate amount for any of those five days on the above basis, the Directors may, if they think fit and having taken into account the prices at which recent dealings in such shares have taken place, determine an amount for such day and the amount so determined shall be deemed to be appropriate for that day for the purposes of calculating the Appropriate Price; and if the means of providing the foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to which the Appropriate Price is to be determined is altered or is replaced by some other means, then the Appropriate Price shall be determined on the basis of the equivalent information published by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on the Irish Stock Exchange (trading as Euronext Dublin) or its equivalent; and
That Article 93 of the Articles of Association of the Company be deleted and replaced with a new Article 93 as follows:
No person other than a Director retiring by rotation or otherwise at the meeting shall be appointed or reappointed a Director at any general meeting unless he is recommended by the Directors or, not less than forty two (42) nor more than seventy (70) days before the date appointed for the meeting, notice executed by a member qualified to vote at the meeting has been given to the Company of the intention to propose that person for appointment stating whether the person is proposed as an additional Director or to replace a Director who is retiring or being removed and the particulars which would be required, if he were so appointed, to be included in the Company's register of Directors, together with notice executed by that person of his willingness to be appointed."
