THAT subject to resolution 21 being passed, in substitution for all subsisting authorities, the Directors be and are hereby empowered to allot equity securities (as defined in the Act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred on the Directors by resolution 21 and/or where such allotment constitutes an allotment of equity securities under section 560(3) of the Act, free of the restrictions in section 561(1) of the Act, provided that this power shall be limited to:

- (i) Ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
- (ii) holders of other equity securities, as required by the rights of those securities or as the Board otherwise considers necessary,

and shall expire at the end of the next AGM of the company to be held in 2015 or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2015, save that the company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the power conferred hereby had not expired.
