    • i. to holders of ordinary shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their respective holdings; and
    • II. to people who are holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,

This authority shall, unless renewed, varied or revoked by the Company, expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this Resolution, or, if earlier, at the close of business on 6 August 2021, save that prior to its expiry the Company may make

This Resolution revokes and replaces all unexercised authorities previously granted to the Directors to allot equity securities but without prejudice to any allotment of shares or grant of rights already made, offered or agreed to be made pursuant to such authorities.

This Resolution revokes and replaces all unexercised authorities previously granted to the Directors to allot equity securities as if section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply but without prejudice to any allotment of shares or grant of rights already made, offered or agreed to be made pursuant to such authorities
