At the Annual General Meeting of the Company duly convened and held on Friday 21 October 2016 at Investec Bank plc, 2 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7QP the following resolutions were duly passed as special business as indicated below:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION

• 1. That, pursuant to section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (2006 Act) the Directors be and are generally and unconditionally authorised to exercise all powers of the Company to allot Relevant Securities:
• $11.1$ comprising equity securities (as defined in section 560(1) of the 2006 Act) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £618,346 (such amount to be reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of Relevant Securities then allotted pursuant to paragraph 11.2 of this Resolution) in connection with a rights issue (as defined in the Listing Rules published by the Financial Conduct Authority):
  • 11.1.1 to holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held by them; and
  • 11.1.2 to holders of other equity securities in the capital of the Company, as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary, but subject to such exclusions or

other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or any legal or practical problems under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange; and

11.2 otherwise than pursuant to paragraph 11.1 of this Resolution, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £309,173 (such amount to be reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of Relevant Securities then allotted pursuant to paragraph 11.1 of this Resolution in excess of £309,173),

provided that (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) these authorities shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this Resolution or on 21 January 2018 (whichever is the earlier), save that, in each case, the Company may make an offer or agreement before the authority expires which would or might require Relevant Securities to be allotted after the authority expires and the Directors may allot Relevant Securities pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

In this Resolution, Relevant Securities means shares in the Company or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company; a reference to the allotment of Relevant Securities includes the grant of such a right; and a reference to the nominal amount of a Relevant Security which is a right to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company is to the nominal amount of the shares which may be allotted to pursuant to that right.

These authorities are in substitution for and shall replace all existing authorities (which, to the extent unused at the date of this Resolution, are revoked with immediate effect), but without prejudice to any allotment of shares or grant of rights already made, offered or agreed to be made pursuant to such authorities.

SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS

1. That, subject to the passing of Resolution 11 above, and pursuant to sections 570 to 573 of the 2006 Act, the Directors be and are generally empowered to allot or make offers or agreements to allot equity securities (within the meaning of section 560(1) of the 2006 Act) for cash pursuant to the authorities granted by Resolution 11 and to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash, as if section 561(1) of the 2006 Act did not apply to any such allotment (or sale), provided that this power shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares:
