as if Section 561 of that Act did not apply to any such allotment, and such authority shall (unless otherwise revoked or renewed), expire at the close of business on 30 June 2021 or, if earlier, on the conclusion of the Company's next Annual General Meeting, save that the Company may make any offer or agreement before such expiry which would or might require shares to be allotted or Allotment Rights to be granted after such expiry and the Directors may allot shares or grant Allotment Rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
