as if Section 561(1) of the Act did not apply to any such allotment; such authority to expire at the conclusion of the Company's annual general meeting in 2017 or on 30 September 2017, whichever is the earlier, but so that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers and enter into agreements which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted and treasury shares to be sold after the authority given by this resolution has expired and the Directors may allot equity securities and sell treasury shares under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
