  • a) to ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and
  • b) to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or as the directors otherwise consider necessary,

and so that the directors may impose any limits or restrictions and make any 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 (including such problems arising by virtue of equity securities being represented by depositary receipts).

The authorities conferred under paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or at the close of business on 30 June 2025, whichever is the earlier, save that under each authority the Company may before such expiry make offers, or enter into agreements, which would or might require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares to be granted after such expiry and the directors may allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares (as the case may be) in pursuance of such offers or agreements as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
