As an Ordinary Resolution:

Authority to allot shares

    1. 551 of the Act to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company:
    2. (a)
    3. (b) comprising equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the Act) up to a further aggregate nominal amount of £1,410,686 in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer,

such authorities to apply until the earlier of the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company or close of business on 2 August 2026 unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting, but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the authority expires 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 the authority expires and the directors may allot shares or grant such rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

For the purposes of this resolution 15, 'fully pre-emptive offer' means an offer to:

  • (i) holdings; and
  • (ii) subject to such rights, as the directors otherwise consider necessary,

to subscribe for further securities, 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 any other matter.

As a Special Resolution:

General authority to disapply pre-emption rights

    1. securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the Act) for cash pursuant to the authority granted by resolution 15 and/or pursuant to Section 573 of the Act to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash, in each case as if the restriction in Section 561 of the Act did not apply, such authority to be limited:
    2. to the allotment of equity securities and/or sale of treasury shares for cash in (a) connection with an offer of equity securities (but in the case of an allotment pursuant to the authority granted by paragraph (b) of resolution 15, by way of a fully preemptive offer only):
      • (i) their existing holdings; and
      • (ii) securities or, subject to such rights, as the directors otherwise consider necessary,

and so that 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 any other matter; and

  • (b) of resolution 15 and/or sale of treasury shares for cash (in each case otherwise than in the circumstances set out in paragraph (a) of this resolution 16) up to a nominal amount of £423,206, being not more than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 17 March 2025, being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice (calculated, in the case of equity securities, which are rights to subscribe for, or to convert securities into, ordinary shares by reference to the aggregate nominal amount of relevant shares which may be allotted pursuant to such rights); and
  • (c) paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above) up to a nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time under paragraph (b) above, such authority to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer which the Board of the Company determines to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights published by the Pre-Emption Group in November 2022,
