- (a) holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (other than B Shares) in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
- (b) holders of other equity securities if this is required by the rights of those securities or, if the directors consider it necessary or appropriate, as permitted by the rights of those securities,
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, but subject in both cases to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory.
Special Resolutions:

as if Section 561(1) of the 2006 Act did not apply to any such allotment, such power to expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting or on 30 June 2015, whichever is the earlier but so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements during this period which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted after the power ends and for the purposes of this resolution:
- (a) "rights issue" has the meaning as in resolution 17 above;
- (b) "pre-emptive offer" means an offer of equity securities, other than an offer of B Shares, open for acceptance for a period fixed by the directors to (i) holders (other than the Company) on the register on a record date fixed by the directors of A Shares in proportion to their respective holdings and (ii) holders of other equity securities if this is required by the rights of those securities or, if the directors consider it necessary or appropriate, as permitted by the rights of those securities, but subject in both cases to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates or legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory;
- (c) references to an allotment of equity securities shall include a sale of treasury shares; and
