• (b) comprising equity securities (as defined in Section 560 of the Act) up to an aggregate nominal amount (within the meaning of Section 551(3) and (6) of the Act) of £4,472,540 (such amount to be reduced by any allotments or grants made under paragraph (a) above) in connection with or pursuant to an offer by way of a rights issue in favour of holders of ordinary shares in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the respective number of ordinary shares held by them on the record date for such allotment (and holders of any other class of equity securities entitled to participate therein or if the Directors consider it necessary, as permitted by the rights of those securities), but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may consider necessary, expedient or appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements, treasury shares, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems arising in, or under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange in any territory or any other matter whatsoever.

This authority shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2026 or on 31 March 2026, whichever is the earlier, save that, in each case, the Company may, at any time before such expiry, make any offer or enter into any agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted, or rights to subscribe for or to convert securities into shares to be granted, after the authority expires and the Directors may allot shares or grant such rights in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.

such allotment or sale (and holders of any other class of equity securities entitled to participate therein or if the Directors consider it necessary, as permitted by the rights of those securities) but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary, expedient or appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements, Treasury Shares, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems arising in, or under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange in any territory or any other matter whatsoever; and
