Special Resolutions

Resolution 16

That the Directors be hereby empowered pursuant to section 570 and section 573 of the UK Companies Act to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of that Act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 15 above, or by way of sale of treasury shares, as if section 561(1) of the UK Companies Act did not apply to any such allotment provided that this power shall be limited to:

(i) the allotment or sale of equity securities in connection with an offer of securities in favour of the holders of Ordinary Shares on the register of members at such record date as the Directors may determine and other persons entitled to participate therein, in any or all jurisdictions where equity securities are listed on any recognised stock exchange, where the equity securities respectively attributable to the interests of the ordinary shareholders are proportionate (as nearly as may be practicable) to the respective shareholdings on the record date of such allotment or sale. This is subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient to deal with any treasury shares, fractional entitlements or the legal or practical problems arising under the laws of any overseas territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange or by virtue of Ordinary Shares being represented by depositary receipts or any other matter; and

(ii) the allotment or sale (otherwise than pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above) to any person or persons of equity securities for cash up to an aggregate nominal value not exceeding £3,600,000.

Such power, unless renewed or otherwise varied by the Company in a General Meeting, shall expire upon the expiry of the general authority conferred by Resolution 15 above, save that the Company may make an offer or agreement before this power has expired, which would or might require equity securities to be allotted or sold after such expiry and the Directors may allot or sell equity securities pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired. Any earlier power of the Directors to allot equity securities as aforesaid be hereby revoked.

Resolution 17

That, in addition to any authority granted under Resolution 16, the Directors be hereby empowered pursuant to section 570 and section 573 of the UK Companies Act to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of that Act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 15 above, or by way of sale of treasury shares, as if section 561(1) of the UK Companies Act did not apply to any such allotment provided that this power shall be limited to:

• (i) the allotment or sale to any person or persons of equity securities or sale of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value not exceeding £3,600,000; and
• (ii) used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within six months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this Notice.

Such power, unless renewed or otherwise varied by the Company in a General Meeting, shall expire upon the expiry of the general authority conferred by Resolution 15 above, save that the Company may make an offer or agreement before this power has expired, which would or might require equity securities to be allotted or sold after such expiry and the Directors may allot or sell equity securities pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired. Any earlier power of the Directors to allot equity securities as aforesaid be hereby revoked.

Resolution 18

That the Company be generally and unconditionally authorised to make market purchases (within the meaning of section 693(4) of the UK Companies Act) of its Ordinary Shares on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may from time to time determine, provided that:

five business days immediately preceding the day on which such share is contracted to be purchased (exclusive of associated expenses); and (b) the higher of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the London Stock Exchange at the time the purchase is carried out;

• (iv) unless previously renewed, revoked or varied by the Company in a General Meeting, the authority conferred by this resolution shall expire on 30 June 2020 or at the conclusion of next year's AGM, whichever is earlier; and
• (v) the Company may contract to purchase its Ordinary Shares under the authority hereby conferred prior to the expiry of such authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiration of such authority, and may purchase its Ordinary Shares in pursuance of any such contract.
