a. up to an aggregate nominal amount of £2,964,377; and
b, comprising equity securities (as defined in the Act) up to a nominal amount of £5,928,755 (such amount to be reduced by the nominal amount of any shares allotted or Rights granted under subparagraph a. above of this Resolution 14) in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue:
i. to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings of ordinary shares; and
ii, to the holders of other equity securities if this is required by the rights of those securities or, if the Directors consider it necessary, as permitted by the rights of those securities, and this authority shall expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, on 12 August 2018 (unless previously revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting) save that the Company may before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted or Rights to be granted after the authority expires and the Directors may allot shares or grant Rights under any such offer or agreement as if this authority had not expired.

(excluding any holder holding shares as treasury shares) of any other class of equity security in accordance with the rights attached to such class of equity securities (subject in either case to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient to deal with fractional entitlements or legal or practical problems arising in any territory, the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange or any other matter whatsoever); and
b. the allotment of equity securities and/or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than pursuant to subparagraph a, above of this Resolution 15) up to an aggregate nominal value of £445.101, and this power shall expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, 12 August 2018 (unless previously revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting) save that the Company may before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted or sold after the power expires and the Directors may allot or sell equity securities and/or treasury shares under any such offer or agreement as if this power had not expired.
