12. Directors' Power to Allot Equity Securities

That, in substitution for all existing and previously unexercised authorities, the Directors be generally and unconditionally authorised in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 ('the Act') to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company:

such authorities to expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2025), unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting, save that the Company may before such expiry make any offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or convert any security in shares to be granted, after such expiry, and the Directors may allot shares, or grant such rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares, in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if the authorisations conferred hereby had not expired.

For the purposes of this Resolution 12 "rights issue" means an offer 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, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,

to subscribe for further securities by means of the issue of a renounceable letter (or other negotiable document) which may be traded for a period before payment for the securities is due, including an offer to which the Directors may impose any limits or restrictions or make any other arrangements which they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange, or any other matter whatsoever.

13. Disapplication of Pre-emption Rights

  • (a) The allotment of equity securities and/or sale of treasury shares for cash in connection with or pursuant to an offer of, or invitation to acquire, equity securities (but in the case of the authorisation granted under Resolution 12(b) by way of a rights issue only);
    • (i) To holders of ordinary shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to the respective number of ordinary shares held by them on the record date for such allotment or sale; and
    • (ii) To holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,

and so that the Directors may impose such exclusions or other arrangements as they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements, treasury shares, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical difficulties which may arise under the laws of, or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange in, any territory, or any other matter whatsoever; and
