14.1 the directors be and are generally and unconditionally authorised to exercise all powers of the Company to allot shares and to grant such subscription and conversion rights as are contemplated by sections $551(1)(a)$ and (b) of the Act respectively up to a maximum nominal amount of £689,803 to such persons and at such times and on such terms as they think proper during the period expiring at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company (unless previously revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting); and further
resolution subject only to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may consider necessary or expedient to deal with fractional entitlements or legal or practical problems under the laws or requirements of any recognised regulatory body or stock exchange in any territory; and
14.3 the Company be and is hereby authorised to make prior to the expiry of such period any offer or agreement which would or might require such shares or rights to be allotted or granted after the expiry of the said period and the directors may allot such shares or grant such rights in pursuance of any such offer or agreement notwithstanding the expiry of the authority given by this resolution,
so that all previous authorities of the directors pursuant to the said section 551 be and are hereby revoked.
THAT, subject to the passing of resolution 14 set out in the Notice convening this Meeting, the directors be and are empowered in accordance with section 570 of the Act to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the Act) for cash, pursuant to the authority conferred on them to allot such shares or grant such rights by that resolution as if section $561(1)$ and sub-sections (1) - (6) of section 562 of the Act did not apply to any such allotment, provided that the power conferred by this resolution shall be limited to:
16.1 the allotment of equity securities in connection with an issue or offering in favour of holders of equity securities (but in the case of the authority granted under resolution 14.2 by way of a rights issue only) and any other persons entitled to participate in such issue or offering where the equity securities respectively attributable to the interests of such holders and persons are proportionate (as nearly as may be) to the respective number of equity securities held by or deemed to be held by them on the record date of such allotment, subject only to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may consider necessary or expedient to deal with fractional entitlements or legal or practical problems under the laws or requirements of any recognised regulatory body or stock exchange in any territory; and
and this power, unless renewed, shall expire at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution but shall extend to the making, before such expiry, of an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted
after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.
THAT the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised for the purpose of section 701 of the Act to make market purchases (as defined in section 693 of the said Act) of Ordinary Shares provided that:
17.1 the maximum number of Ordinary Shares hereby authorised to be purchased is 20,694,077;
