That, in substitution for all existing powers and subject to the passing of resolution 13, the Directors be given the general power to allot equity securities (as defined by Section 560 of the Companies Act 2006) for cash, either pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 13 or by way of a sale of treasury shares, as if Section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply to any such allotment or sale, provided that this power shall be limited to:

(a) the allotment of equity securities and sale of treasury shares in connection with an offer of equity securities (but, in the case of the authority granted under paragraph (b) of resolution 13 by way of a rights issue only):

(i) to ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and

(ii) to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,

(a) the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares authorised to be purchased is 3,252,118 (representing approx. 10% of the issued share capital);

(b) the minimum price which may be paid for an ordinary share is 1.89 pence;

(c) the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid for an ordinary share is the higher of:

(ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out at the relevant time, including when the shares are traded on different venues.

This authority expires at the conclusion of the next AGM after this resolution is passed (or, if earlier, until the close of business on 30 June 2019) but during this period the Company may make a contract to purchase ordinary shares under this authority before the expiry of the authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of the authority, and may make a purchase of ordinary shares in pursuance of any such contract.
