such authority to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, at the close of business on 1 July 2024 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 Board may allot equity securities (and sell treasury shares) under any such offers or agreements as if the authority had not expired.

B. That if ordinary resolution 14 is passed, the Board be authorised, in addition to any authority granted under special resolution A, to allot equity securities (as defined in article 8 of the Company’s articles of association) for cash under the authority given by that resolution and/or to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if Section 561 of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply to any such allotment or sale, such authority to be limited:

(a) only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within six months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Board of the Company determines to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this Notice; and

(b) to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares up to a nominal amount of £3,929,380;

such authority to expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, at the close of business on 1 July 2024 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 Board may allot equity securities (and sell treasury shares) under any such offers or agreements as if the authority had not expired.

C. That, in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Company is generally and unconditionally authorised to make market purchases (within the meaning of Section 693 of the Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares of 28 4/7p each in the capital of the Company (‘ordinary shares’) on such terms and in such manner as the directors of the Company may from time to time determine provided that:

(ii) the amount equal to the higher price of the last independent trade of an ordinary share and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out;

(d) the authority hereby conferred shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, at the close of business on 1 July 2024 unless renewed before that time save that the Company may make a contract or contracts to purchase ordinary shares under this authority before its expiry which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of this authority, and may make a purchase of ordinary shares in pursuance of any such contract; and

(e) all existing authorities for the Company to make market purchases of ordinary shares are revoked, except in relation to the purchase of shares under a contract or contracts concluded before the date of this resolution and which has or have not yet been executed.
