THAT, subject to the passing of Resolution 19, the Directors be authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the Act) for cash under the authority conferred by that Resolution and/or to sell ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares as if section 561 of the Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, provided that such authority shall be limited to:

  • a. the allotment of equity securities in connection with an offer of equity securities (but, in the case of the authority granted under Resolution 19(b), by way of a preemptive offer (as defined in Resolution 19) only):
    • i. to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their respective holdings; and
    • ii. to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or as the Directors otherwise consider necessary,
  • b. the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares for cash (otherwise than pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Resolution) up to an aggregate nominal value of £1,986,278, being not more than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 26 March 2025, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice; and

c. the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Resolution) for cash up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time under paragraph (b), such authority to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer which the Directors determine 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 2022.

The authority granted by this Resolution will expire at the conclusion of the Company's next AGM after the passing of this Resolution or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2026, save that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers or agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted (or treasury shares to be sold) after the authority expires and the Directors may allot equity securities (or sell treasury shares) in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.

The authority granted by this Resolution will expire at the conclusion of the Company's next AGM after this Resolution is passed or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2026, save that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers or agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted (or treasury shares to be sold) after the authority expires and the Directors may allot equity securities (or sell treasury shares) in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
