That, in substitution for any existing authority, subject to the passing of resolution 7, the Directors be given the general power pursuant to sections 570 and 573 of the Act to allot equity securities (as defined by Section 560 of the Act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 7, and/or to sell equity securities held as treasury shares for cash pursuant to Section 727 of the Act, in each case as if Section 561(1) of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, provided that this power shall be limited to:
(a) any such allotment and/or sale of equity securities in connection with an offer or issue by way of rights or other pre-emptive offer or issue, open for acceptance for a period fixed by the directors, to holders of ordinary shares (other than the Company) on the register on any record date fixed by the directors in proportion (as nearly as may be) to the respective number of ordinary shares deemed to be held by them, subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements, legal or practical problems arising in any overseas territory, the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange or any other matter whatsoever;
The power granted by this resolution will expire on 30 September 2026 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the Company's AGM to be held in 2026 (unless renewed, varied or revoked by the Company prior to or on such date) save that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers or agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted or equity securities held as treasury shares to be sold after such expiry and the Directors may allot and/or sell equity securities and equity securities held as treasury shares in pursuance of any such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the power conferred by this resolution has expired.
