EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ) Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the EGM.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the General Meeting Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – MANDATE TO PURCHASE OWN SHARES

This Resolution is to allow the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Resolution.

The Company may use internal or external sources of funds or a combination of both to finance its purchase or acquisition of its Shares. The amount of financing required for the Company to purchase or acquire its Shares, and the impact on the Company’s financial position, cannot be ascertained as at the date of this Notice as these will depend on whether the Shares are purchased or acquired out of capital and/or retained profits of the Company, the number of Shares purchased or acquired, the consideration paid for such Shares and whether the Shares purchased or acquired are held as treasury shares or cancelled.

Based on the Company’s issued capital as at 8[th] April 2024 ( Latest Practicable Date ), and assuming that on or prior to the Annual General Meeting no further Shares are issued by the Company, the purchase by the Company of up to the maximum limit of 20 per cent of its issued Shares will result in the purchase or acquisition of 33,563,355 Shares.
