No. 2954692
The Companies Act 2006
Public Company Limited by Shares
At the Annual General Meeting of the Company duly convened and held on 14th September 2010 resolution 1 below was passed as an Ordinary Resolution and resolutions 2 to 4 were passed as Special Resolutions:
such authority to expire on 15 December 2011 or, if sooner, the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, provided that the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would, or might, require Relevant Securities to be allotted after such expiry, and the Directors may allot Relevant Securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
(a) the allotment of equity securities in connection with an offer of equity securities (including, without limitation, under a rights issue, open offer or similar arrangement, save that in the case of an allotment pursuant to the authority conferred by paragraph (b) of Resolution 1 above, such offer shall be by way of rights issue only) in favour of the holders of ordinary shares on the register of members at such record date or dates as the Directors may determine for the purpose of the issue receipts, where the equity securities respectively attributable to the interests of all holders of ordinary shares are proportionate (as nearly as may be) to the respective number of ordinary shares held by them on any such record date or dates (subject to such exclusions or arrangements as the Committee may deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements, legal, regulatory or practical problems arising under the laws of any overseas territory or by virtue of the shares being represented by depository receipts, or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange); and
(b) the allotment of equity securities (otherwise than pursuant to paragraph (a) above) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £16,832 (representing 5 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company as at 13 August 2010),
save that the Company may, before expiry of this power, 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 offer or agreement notwithstanding that the power conferred hereby has expired.
This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(2)(b) of the Companies Act 2006 as if in the first paragraph of this resolution the words "subject to the passing of Resolution 1" were omitted.
(c) the minimum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for each ordinary share is 1 penny; and
(d) this authority shall expire on the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting or 15 December 2011, whichever is earlier (except in relation to the purchase of ordinary shares the contract for which was concluded before the expiry of such authority and which will or might be executed wholly or partly after such expiry), unless such authority is renewed prior to such time.
