The resolutions numbered 13, 14 and 15 were passed as Ordinary Resolutions and in the case of the resolutions numbered 16, 17 and 18, as Special Resolutions.
(A) to allot shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in the Company ('Relevant Securities'), up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £752,412; and
(B) to allot Relevant Securities comprising equity securities (within the meaning of section 560 of the Act) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £752,412, in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue in favour of holders of ordinary shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings of ordinary shares, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements or any legal, regulatory or practical issues under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange,
for a period expiring (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by the Company) on the date which is 15 months from the date of the passing of this resolution or, if sooner, the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company, provided that the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require Relevant Securities to be allotted after this authority expires, and the directors may allot Relevant Securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement, as if this authority had not expired.
TO APPROVE, for the purposes of section 226B(1)(b) of the Companies Act 2006, the making of the Long-Service Payments (each as defined and described in Appendix I to this document) to John Hutson and Su Cacioppo and to authorise the Remuneration Committee to do all acts and things it may consider necessary or desirable in connection with the same.
TO APPROVE, for the purposes of section 226B(1)(b) of the Companies Act 2006, the making of the Revised DBS Payments (each as defined and described in Appendix II to
this document) to John Hutson, Su Cacioppo and Ben Whitley and to authorise the Remuneration Committee to do all acts and things it may consider necessary or desirable in connection with the same.
(A) in connection with an offer of equity securities (including, without limitation, under a rights issue, open offer or similar arrangement, save that, in the case of an allotment pursuant to the authority conferred by paragraph (B) of resolution 13, such offer shall be by way of rights issue only) in favour of holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings of ordinary shares, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements or any legal, regulatory or practical problems under the laws of any territory or the requirements of any requiatory body or stock exchange; and
(B) otherwise than pursuant to subparagraph (A) above up to an aggregate nominal amount of £112,862 but the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after this power expires, and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement, as if this power had not expired.
This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(3) of the Act as if, in the first paragraph of this resolution, the words 'pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 13' were omitted.
(A) the maximum number of ordinary shares which may be purchased is 16,929,275; (B) the price at which an ordinary share may be purchased shall not exceed 105% of the average of the middle-market quotations for the ordinary shares (as derived from the Stock Exchange Daily Official List) for the five business days preceding the date of purchase and shall not be less than its nominal value, in each case exclusive of expenses; and
(C) this authority (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) will expire at the earlier of 15 months from the date of passing of this resolution and the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, except that the Company may, before such authority expires, enter into a contract of purchase under which such purchase may be completed or executed wholly or partly after the expiry of the authority.
