and unless previously revoked, varied or extended, this authority shall expire on the earlier of 30 September 2021 and the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Mitie, except that Mitie may before the expiry of this authority 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 authority conferred hereby had not expired.
