such power to apply until the conclusion of the 2014 AGM (or, if earlier, until the close of business on 30 June 2014), save that during this period the Company may make offers, and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (and treasury shares to be sold) after the power ends and the Directors may allot equity securities (and sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not ended.
