ORDINARY RESOLUTION

1. THAT in substitution for any existing authority under section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), but without prejudice to the exercise of any such authority prior to the date of this resolution, the Directors of the Company be generally and unconditionally authorised to allot shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in the Company:

2. (a) up to a nominal amount of £71,723,822 (such amount to be reduced by any allotments or grants made under paragraph (b) below in excess of such sum); and

3. (b) comprising equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the Act) up to a nominal amount of £143,447,644 (such amount to be reduced by any allotments or grants made under paragraph (a) above) in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue:
   • (i) to holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held by them; and
   • (ii) to holders of other equity securities in the capital of the Company, 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 any exclusions, limits or restrictions and 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, such authority to expire at midnight on 24 August 2023 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, unless previously renewed, revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting, save that the Company may at any time before the expiry of this authority make an offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted or relevant rights to subscribe for or convert securities into shares to be granted after the expiry of this authority and the Directors of the Company may allot shares or grant relevant rights pursuant to any such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.

These authorities are in substitution for all existing authorities under section 551 of the Act (which, to the extent unused at the date of this resolution, are revoked with immediate effect).

1. THAT, subject to the passing of Resolution 12 as set out in the notice of this meeting, the Directors be empowered pursuant to section 570 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the Act) for cash pursuant to the general authority conferred by Resolution 12 as set out in the notice of this meeting and be empowered pursuant to section 573 of the Act to sell ordinary shares (as defined in section 560 of the Act) held by the Company as treasury shares (as defined in section 724 of the Act) for cash, as if section 561(1) of the Act did not apply to such allotment or sale, provided that this power shall be limited to allotments of equity securities and the sale of treasury shares:

2. (a) in connection with an offer of equity securities (but in the case of the authority conferred by paragraph (b) of Resolution 12 as set out in the notice of this meeting, by way of rights issue only):

   • (i) to the holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held by them; and
   • (ii) to holders of other equity securities in the capital of the Company, as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,
3.

and such power shall expire at midnight on 24 August 2023 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, but so that this power shall enable the Company to make an offer or agreement before such expiry which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors of the Company may allot equity securities in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if such expiry had not occurred. This power, and that provided in Resolution 14, are in substitution for all existing powers under sections 570 and 573 of the Act (which, to the extent unused at the date of this resolution, are revoked with immediate effect).

and such power shall expire at midnight on 24 August 2023 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, but so that this power shall enable the Company to make an offer or agreement before such expiry which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors of the Company may allot equity securities in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if such expiry had not occurred. This power, and that provided in Resolution 13, are in substitution for all existing powers under sections 570 and 573 of the Act (which, to the extent unused at the date of this resolution, are revoked with immediate effect).

6. (e) the Company may make a contract or contracts to purchase Ordinary Shares under the authority conferred by this resolution prior to the expiry of such authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of such authority and may make a purchase of Ordinary Shares in pursuance of any such contract or contracts as if this authority had not expired.
