such authority in paragraphs a. and b. above shall continue until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company (or, if earlier, until the close of business on 20 August 2026) but, in each case, prior to its expiry the Company may make offers, and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (and treasury shares to be sold) after the authority expires and the Directors may allot equity securities (and sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
